and occupied by George Miller, was found
to be on fire and it.burnedlto the ground.

railroad, about halfway between Haines-
port and Masonville. The fire was first
noticed in the second story and it was
apparent that nothing above the first
floor could be saved so efforts were con

CAPTAIN Kirkbride's Treat.

The children of Medford, and many
persons of mature years. will have a
pleasant remembrance of the Fourth OF
July, 1908, and of the man who made the
occasion one of enjoyment to all who par
ticipated in the exercises he arranged.
Come time since Captain Elwood H. Kirk
bride conceived the idea of making the
day one of something more than mere
noise, and he decided to present to the
children of Medford a memento that
would leave an impression for after years.
He remembered having seen small book
of 81 pages, giving history OF the
American flag and what 1t stands for, and
after considerable trouble, the book hay
ing apparently gone out of print, he sue
ceeded in getting a number of copies.
Then he had some circulars printed,
which were distributed on the Third, in
viting the children to call at his home on
the following morning.
The youngsters did not need second
invitation and between the hours of z 30
and $50, over 300 children were present.
The captain had his porch tastefully
decorated, and his portrait in the uniform
he wore while in the army occupied a
prominent position. The uniforms were
also shown. On the lawn a large flag was
spread and there was shelter tent such
as was used in the civil war, in front OF
which were stacked muskets with a can
teen aud kettle drum suspended from
them
Under an old apple tree was grouped
Professor Garrecht's band, which dis
coursed patriotic airs When he thought
the audience was all assembled Captain
Kirkbride made stirring address.
He paid glowing tribute to the Ameri-
can flag, describing its origin, and telling
what it stood for from the days of 1776
until the present time. He exhibited a
white satin banner which was presented
by the ladies of Evesham township Che.
Harrison Log Cabin Club. He explained
the protective tariff and referred to the
difference in conditions of the day when
the banner was presented and the present
time. Then girls worked in households,
doing the washing and ironing, for 81
cents week, now it is hard to get them
at any price. The address of Captain
Kirkbride was listened to with great at
tention by all who were present. At its
conclusion the speaker had the children
file past him and presented each one with
the following souvenirs: A small silk flag,
mounted, to be worn on the left breast,
and known as the school children's flag;
picture of Betsy Ross displaying to Gen.
Washington, Hon. George Ross and Rob
ert Morris, the first stars and stripes flag;
a book of 81 pages, giving history of
the flag and what it stands for, and two
packs of fire crackers.
1t was a very pleasant occasion and the
people of Medford have not yet decided
who received the most pleasure, the re-
cipients of the favors or the donor

MIR. MACK's JUST WHIsTLING.
Don't Know the Gentleman" Says "Fingy'
When Asked About Haskell.

Interest in the campaign seems TO have taken a
sudden slump in the vicinity of the Eastern head
quarters of the Democratic National Committee
since the stories about Governor Haskell, treasure
Of the committee, have come out. Chairman Mack
after evading answering any questions the
Haskell issue in the morning, hurried off to Phila-
delphia on mysterious errand in the afternoon.
There can be doubt that the national man
ayers feel thar they working under heavy
load. The general impression TO be that
Haskell must go for the good of the cause.
AS one Of them expressed it: 1T makes diff
ference whether all that is being said about Has
kell is true, the damage has been done, and will
spread. unless he eliminates himself at once"
Chairman Mack was asked If the statement of
Governor Haskell regarding the reply Of President
Roosevelt Mr. Bryans telegram was salts
factory. He seemed strangely annoyed. Not a
word on the Haskell business. I am too busy to
bother with it," he said. The matter is in Mr..

Nothing in II; nothing in it, replied the chair
man. with weary expression his face
Have you asked for Governor Haskelfs resig-
nation?' the chairman asked.
cant Won think up some topic TO ask
about?' replied the chairman in disgust.
As soon as he could. Chairman Mack changed
the conversation and began talking about the
states that Mr.. Bryan would carry. He said the
Democrats would be sure TO carry Ohio and other
Republican states. Il was like man wh1stlns
IN the dark to keep his courage up.
