Morning Blaze.
Bic Mill and Elevator Of S. c. Lee
mar Totally Destroyed
viii Re- Build.

Orr populace was awakened
early Wednesday morning by
the clanking Of the big fire bell
and the shrieking Of the engines
in the Mo. Pac. yards. Upon
investigation it was found that
the big mill and elevator of s. @.
Lemar on South Fifth Street was
in flames.
The fire started in the west
part of the main building, where
the engine room is located, but
as there had been no fire made
up since three o'clock Tuesday
afternoon, it is not thought
probable that the fire left under
the boilers could have set the
building ablaze. Mr.. Lemar said
Wednesday morning that he had
no idea how the fire originated.
The flames quickly spread over
the main building and elevator
and then the big warehouse on
the east and several smaller
buildings along the Frisco track
fell prey to the flames. Two
box cars belonging to the Frisco
railway company were consum-
ed.
About 1900 bushels of wheat,
1000 bushels of fax, nearly 1000
bushels of corn, hundreds of
sacks of bran and chops, and
other feed-stuff that was in the
buildings went up in smoke.
Mr.. Lemar estimates his loss
on the buildings and their con
tents at about $35, 900. He car
ried considerable insurance, but
not enough to cover the loss.
This is the second time that
Mr.. Lemar has lost his mill
property by fire. About seven
years ago a like catastrophe be-
fel Mr.. L., who at that time car
ried scarcely no insurance. I'm.
mediately after this fire Mr..
Lemar set in to build a new mill,
and he constantly added to
it, until he had built mp a good,
moneymaking institution. 1t is
rumored that it is his intention
to again rebuild.

Bryan has the most elastic
policies Of any man who ever ran
for the presidency-in fact they
are spread out so broadly that
they are thin. He can speak in
one state on the issue that will
get votes there; then jump to

thing entirely different. Isn't it
a pity that there are not As differ

The Value Of a Good Education.

The value OF a good education
fitting a young man for his life
work is no longer a debateable
question. The recent report Of
the United States Bureau Of Ed
ucation, shows that a boy with a
common school education has
practically one chance in 5000 Of
general recognition as a success.
full man in some department Of
human endeavor and usefulness,
A high school education increases
his chances of such success by
about twenty-five times, while a
college education gives a young
man about ten times the probah-
fifty of success and advancement
possessed by the high-school
graduate, or about two hundred
times the opportunity open TO a
boy with only a common school
education. Bates Co. Record.

Each table has an individual
waiter, and he is held strictly re-

The performers have a separ-
ate section, and the laborers take
their meals in a different portion
of the dining tent.
The Sells-Floto shows feed
nearly 800 people three times
per day. Meal tickets are is
sued by the head of each depart
ment to the various people en-
ployed. The tickets state in
what capacity the men are en-
ployed, and by this plan it is
easy to determine at what table
they shall eat.
The tickets are designated as
property men, canvas men, razor
backs, side show, grooms, animal
men, porters, pony boys, drivers
train men, performers and man
ayers. The dining tent is in
charge of two superintendent

Telephone Directory in TWO Volumes

Telephone Directory in Two Volumes
The New York Telephone Company
and The New York & New Jersey Tel
ephone Company announce that the
new summer telephone directory, the
distribution of which will soon begin,
| is issued in two volumes instead of
one. The two volumes will be distrib-
uted to all subscribers throughout the
territory.
Subscribers in this territory will re-
ceive volume No. l, New York City
Directory, which will contain the list
ings Of telephone subscribers in the
five boroughs of New York: Manhat-
tan, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and
Richmond; volume No. 2, complete
list OF all subscribers in the Company S
New Jersey territory arranged in one
alphabetical list, together with an al
phabetical list of the subscribers in
Rockland and Westchester Counties,
New York. In addition to these
books, subscribers will receive small
local list which will be of most con :
venient size, printed with very legible
type and numbers
Another new feature of this direct
DRY is the elimination Of the local town
headings in the suburban book, all SUBJ
scribers in any suburban sections, such
as New Jersey, for instance, being
listed in one alphabetical listing group.
1t is felt that this method will be
great improvement over the old way
OF listing subscribers of each little
town under the town heading. With
a number Of small communities
throughout the suburban area it
difficult to remember and find in the
present telephone directory the exact
heading under which the person to be
called is listed. With all subscribers
in any given area listed in one alpha
betical group, this difficult is obviated,

stood on their chairs, just above the
press section, and waved blue banners
at the cheering crowd.
1t was not until the delegates had ex-
hausted their energy by twenty-six
minutes of continued cheering that
Chairman Lodge succeeded in restoring
comparative ORDER task in which he
was materially assisted by the extraor-
dinarily powerful voice of George A.
Knight of California, who had taken
the platform to second the nomination
of Mr.. Taft and who spoke with force
and eloquence.
Vice President Fairbanks was placed
Governor Hanly of Indiana and Sec
onded by Mayor Bookwalter of In
dianapolis. The other nominating and
seconding speeches were made as fol.
lows: For Speaker Cannon, Represent.
alive Boutell of Illinois and Represent

Governor Hughes, General Stewart L..

Main Points In Platform.
The adoption of the Republican plat
form for the campaign of 1908, which
preceded the nominating speeches, was
by viva voce vote. The main points
in the platform may be condensed
thus:
Unqualified Endorsement of the policies
advocated by President Roosevelt.
Endorsement of the emergency currency
legislation.
Unequivocal declaration for revision
of the tariff by a special session of con-
gress following the inauguration of the
next president.
Development of permanent currency

man is no friend of Theodore Roosevelt
and does not cherish his name and fame
who now from any motive seeks to urge
him as a candidate for the great office
which he has finally declined The pres
ident has refused what his countrymen
! would gladly have given him. He says
what he means and means what he says,
and his party and his country will re-
spect his wishes as they honor his high
character and great public service.
But, although the president retires, he
leaves his policies behind him. To those
policies the Republican party stands
pledged. We must carry out as we have
begun, regardless alike of the radicals of
reaction and the radicals of revolution.
We must hold fast to that which is good
while we make the advances which the
times demand.
The convention then got down to
actual business. One of the most i'm
portant acts Of the day, and one hav-
ing great significance, was the adop-
ton of the report of the committee on
credentials, seating the Taft delega
lions practically in toto. If there had
been any lingering doubt of the Taft
strength it disappeared before this de-
cisive action. which in effect placed
upward of 700 delegates in the Taft
column. Next in Importance and most
remarkable was the final acceptance
of this result by the allies without the
formality of dissenting minority re-
port and without carrying the question
to the floor of the convention for the
open fight which had been long threat
ened. Instead Of this, all further OPP

cepted the inevitable, and thus the

Nomination of Taft.
The third day of the convention was
s'big Thursday" for big Bill'' Taft,
for the session closed with his trium-
plant nomination for the presidency
on the first ballot, the vote being made
unanimous. Secretary Taft's victory
was foreseen, of course, many weeks
ago. Two months ago his political
manager, Frank H. Hitchcock, predict
ed that Taft would receive more than
700 votes on the first ballot. Hitch
cock hit it exactly, for Taft got TOP
votes. In all 979 votes were cast, one
delegate being absent. "Favorite sons"
of half a dozen other states received
the non-Taft votes merely out of COM
pliment. Theodore Roosevelt got three
votes from Pennsylvania, though his
name was not placed before the con-
vention.
The others nominated and the num-
Der of ballots cast were: Senator Phi
lander @. Knox of Pennsylvania, So;
Governor Charles Il. Hughes of New
York, 81; Speaker Joseph G. Cannon
of Illinois, SO; Vice President Charles
w. Fairbanks of Indiana, 40; Senator
Robert M. La Toilette of Wisconsin,

25; Senator Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio,
JIG.
Mr.. Taft was nominated by Repre-
sentative Theodore E. Burton of Cleve-
land, and the nomination was seconded
by George A. Knight of California.
The motion to make the nomination
unanimous was made by General Stew
art L. Woodford of New York, man
ager of the Hughes boom.

In the course of his speech placing
Taft in nomination Congressman Bur
