Two of the men victims were members of the train crew. Four additional fatalities occurred in the neighborhOOd of the wreck last night.

 When the relief train left Metz, it carried all the inhabitants of the vil- laEe except George Cicero, the agent. who stayed to handle the railroad wire and escaped through ploughed fields when the fire reached the sta- tion, only to find his wife and three children cremated in the wreck of the train.
 Every report received tonight from the forest fire swept country to the northwest of the city increases the ex- tent and gravity of the fire situation and the death list which started today with the cremation of fifteen persons in the Metz relief train is steadily growing
 PresqUe. Isle and Cheboygan coun- ties are all aflame and seventy-five miles between this city and the city of Cheboygan is reported almost a solid mass of fire.
 Alpena county is ablaze in every di- rection. Reports are coming in from many places but it has been impossi- ble as yet to compile anything like an authentic list of fire victims in the burned district.
 Bolton, South Rogers and Metz are among the destroyed villages. La Roque is threatened tonight and it is expected it will be destroyed before morning. Only one church is left at Cathro, and it is crowded with refu- gees.
 report from AlcOna says a strip of twenty miles wide from Hubbard lake to Au Sable river is burning. More than forty farms are reported swept by fires and their buildings de strOyed.

COMMON SENSE TALK
 ID SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS
Mir. Taft Invites Them to an lnvigorat- ing Plunge Into RePublicanism.

Bristol, Tenn, oct 16.-Judge Will liam H. Taft's keynote for Tennessee and the south was struck by the can didate at Chattanooga this morning Throughout the day, which was spent in traversing the state he followed the same line of argument and met with the same hearty response.
 With verbal amplifications, Judge Taft emphasized this argument: With the material interests of the south de- pendent upon a continuance of repub lican policies: with nothing but histo- ric tradition demanding its people to vote the democratic ticket-praying meanwhile for success of republican ism-with the southern democracy nothing but tail to the northern dem ocracy's kite, then why not now take the first political cold plunge, go poli tically where the material interests of the country demand and vote the re- publican ticket?"
 So great was the demand for the candidate that his itinerary of four stops in the state was increased to eleven. He spoke during the day and evening at Chattanooga, Cleveland, Ath ems, Sweetwater, LOudOn, LenOir City, Knoxville, Morristown, Greenville, Johnson City and Bristol. With an all night run he will reach Salisbury N. C., tomorrow morning and Richmond, Va, tomorrow night.

Charlottesville Va, Oct. 16.-John Armstrong Chanler, former husband of Amelie Rives. the authOress, and a brother of Lewis StUyvesant Chanler, the democratic candidate for governor of New York, took the stand today in his own behalf in insanity proceedings before Commissioner Booth.

Hurrah for the friends of the con- testants in the big race for points that is now being hotly waged by the best lot of hustIers that ever worked for The Republican. People everywhere are becoming greatly interested in the contest. The mails brings many en- velopes fat with coupons for some one Of the contestants, and that is what brings the greatest amount of joy to the hearts of a number of the boys and girls when they get to headquar- ters, to find big boosts awaiting them The biggest boost was for Joe O'Con- nell. if was from namesake of his at Bisbee the widely known and success ful attorney. J. NJ O'COnnell, it was a payment for eighteen months, being renewal. It netted Joe 12SO points. To say that it made his naturally sunny face open with big smile from ear to ear when he learned of his good for tune, only half expresses it.
 Another one to get a nice boost was Mildred Maaley, who got 1000 votes from a friend, Miss RidenOur, at the Indian school. who ordered The Re publican and paid for a year in ad- vance. Doubtless when Mildred learns of it this morning. she will feel like sending a wireless message to her good friend for the aid.
 A Kelvin man yesterday sent in subscription in favor of Georgia Eaton giving her a start with a nice score. It is hoped that Georgia will soon turn in the results of her work in the Kel- yin country.

A MODEL DAIRY BARN
DR. chrisiisn.on's New Structure Near
Vest Prairie Now Completed

August A. Peterson of Bloomingdale,
who has been working upon the con-
struction of Dr. Christianson's new
dairy barn near West Prairie, was in
the city Saturday, and tells US that this
model new barn is completed The
building is constructed upon the doe
tors AIS acre farm, is 38x92 feet, with
solid concrete basement. Steel stanch-
ions and hangers sufficient for twenty
four cows and six horses have been in
stalled, and the basement is so arranged
as to make feeding of stock an easy
chore.
A manure pit, also of solid concrete,
is completed, and the litter is conveyed
from the barn to the pit by latest i'm
proved carriers. Underneath the pit a
cistern catches all the moisture from
the stable, and this will be carried onto
the fields by tanks. thus losing no part
of the fertilization coming from the
harm This model barn far surpasses
anything of its kind in the county. and
we doubt if there is barn equal to il
in the state so complete in every detail
The CENSOR is not authority for the
cost of the structure, but it is estimated
that the outlay will reach from ST. 600
to SO 000
