FoURTHoCsAND-DoLLAR FIRE
 IN BORDER TOWN FOR A
 TIME THREATENED VILLAGE

WACO, June 9.--Ffre did s4 900 dam. age and threatened the business sec ton of Naco Friday night. It started at 10 o'clock in back room of. the Fashion saloon, Jack Mclaughlin, a man employed as porter around the place, overturning s lamp. He was res. cued with difficulty by the fremen. The Bank of Bisbee s branch and the tele- phone exchange were damaked, the lat ter being practically gutted. Deputy Sheriff F. P. Els did good work in charge of the hose company, all of whom rendered splendid service in checking the spread of the flames. Con siderable of the stock of the Fashion saloon was saved before the fire gained headway. The fact that tho bank build. ing is built of adobe and brick is all that saved it.
 The loss of John F. Newell and W. C. lIudspeth, who own the Fashion sa loon, will be about $2,500. They carried no insurance. The bank s loss will be about $500. Their building is insured The loss to the telephone company will be in the neighborhood of $500.

The new city council should not overlook tho fact that the proposed sewer system is the most important thing for their consideration and the taxpayers are anxious to be given a chance to vote on the proposed bond is- sue. Human life and the general health of the city are prized very high ly and council should make haste in this work. The republican party was not defeated in the last election because of any bad break on the part of the members of the last city council and the democratic members will mako sorry mistake if they oppose every measure taken up by the late admins tration- especially is this true of the sewer question.

According to the press dispatches
there are two futures for Mr.. Bryan.
Friends in Nebraska have COM
menced to line up things for his
election to the United States senate.
Believing that the presidency is be-
You'd his reach they propose to put
him in the senate. The other future
is disclosed by q preacher friend,
who has published an open letter
calling on Mr.. Bryan to enter the
religious field as an evangelist. The
preacher expresses the opinion that
Mr.. Bryan has every attribute to
make a successful leader Of men
and likens him unto Paul, as having
the characteristics to make a deep
impression. The preacher states
that 1t is perhaps the act Of prov
idence that MI. Bryan has been kept
out Of the presidential chair three
times in order that he might use
his gifts for the betterment Of man
kind. and declares that he can do
more good In the world that 10000

According to the Huron Herald
there will be no further war between
South Dakota and Sioux City on the
conflict of fair dates, which for a
number Of years have been the same
at Huron and Sioux City. 1t is
stated by the Herald that at a meet
ing of the Sioux City board of direct
ors that it vas decided to make a
change in the dates. and that the
Sioux City fair hereafter will be
held the week following the South
Dakota fair at Huron. That will be
a relief to many papers of the state
which fell called upon at the ap-
proach of each fair season to turn in
and roast Sioux City for occupying
the same dates as the South Dakota
institution. We never believed that
the conflict of dates had any effct
on the Huron fair. but there will not
be any more trouble to worry over
in this connection.

When Robert Emmett Dowdell was
defeated as the democratic candi-
date for congress, the newspaper
men Of South Dakota lost a golden
opportunity to be royalty entertained
at Warrington. Shortly before cleo
ton day Emmett sent circulars to

them to support him. and for this
he agreed to entertain them at
Washington for a day or two any

Tribune says is true as to the ability
of Mr.. Egan, it seems that he has a
pretty hard road to travel. And it
will be harder indeed when it gets
more thoroughly impressed on the
business men that the organ is
started as a sort of personal defense
of Mr.. Egan. Advertising patron
age might start in brisk through
sympathy, but it is a pretty small
foundation for a business man to
place his advertising. 1t would seem
that Mr.. Egan is carrying his SEN
sationalism a little too far. and
doubtless 1t will become evident after
three or four months Of trial.

More Trouble at Sioux Falls.

Under the above caption the
Sioux City Tribune makes the fol-
lowing editorial comment on the
statement that George w. Egan is
going to start a new daily paper at
Sioux Falls by the first of the year,:
eff the disbarment proceedings
against Attorney George w. Egan,
of Sioux Falls, were based upon a
question of his sanity, he would be
playing into the hands of his OPP
ponents by starting a newspaper in
that city. A ews report in this
paper yesterday alleged that he was
going to start a democratic paper
at that.
HE has just been elected to office
as a republican. He is a republican,
If 1t may not be said he has pretend
ed to be a republican. He Is not a
newspaper man. He is not a bus
mess man.
ITO be a successful newspaper
man and a successful business man
is. to put it modestly to him. equal
to adding two more professions to
his legal requirement.
Eight more years in training
would be just starting him at the
Threshold of this new career he
is mapping out for himself. and
when he had added all those things
to his equipment. he must plant, and
water. and wait. and be favored with
sunshine to get fruit from his new
venture. and the fruit that will grow
on an organ is not as beautiful to
look upon as a 'haw,' and not more
useful.
That Mr.. Egan is ever thinking
of starting a newspaper organ puts
him byond the pale Of advice and
lands him in the megalomania class.

career"
