man
The explosion blew of tho entire

instantly flames burst out all over
the structure.
Twenty-one men were employed
in the building Of whom eleven arc

Mrs. John Jelifore, who was walk
ing with companion along the
Canadian Pacific railway track close
20 the elevator, was burned to death
and an unknown woman who was
with her was burned so seriously
that her life is despaired of.
The elevator was owned jointly by
the Canadian Pacific and Boston and
Maine railroads and was occupied By
the Quaker Oats Company of Chicago.
The amount Of grain it contained was
very large.
The flames, which are supposed to
have been started by spontaneous
combustion in the dry dust Of the
grain, spread So quickly that tne
limited fire apparatus of the village
vas Of no avail.
The heat set fire to a -four she'd

Will BOLT TAFT
4 REPUBLICAN FAMILY DISCUSS
Els POLITICS
And as a Result Will Vote for
Bcyan-They Give Reason for
the Change.

The following letter, which wa
published in the New York Werlc
one Gay last week, shows the tenden
cy Of Republicans at the North tt
vote for Bryan and Kern this year:
To the Editor Of The World:
Ny father {who has voted the Re
publican ticket since the organiza.
ton Of the party), my three broth
ers and myself (all OF whom have
voted the Republican ticket since
We turned twenty-one) have been
discussing the campaign. Last night
We made our decision. and It is that
We shall vote for Ar. Bryan, for the
following reasons:
l. The Republican party has been
in power twelve years and has fore.
ed upon the country an iniQuitous
tariff (the cause Of all our trust
trouole), and now only because Of
public clanor it promises a ere
vision"
2. Republican administrations
have constantly been more and more
wasteful Of the public funds.
8. Because every trust in tho
country is arrayed on the side of the
Republican party. Why?
4. Because we are tired Of Speak.
er Cannon overriding the will Of the
people who elect what they intend
to be their representatives in cou-
gress.
5. Because the President after
issuing a loud warning to all his
officer holders TO keep out OF politics
during the campaign, is the princtpa!
and worst violator Of his own rule.
s Because the President was not
honest in his answer to Mr.: Bryan.
Z. Because the President has
created or attempted to create a
crown prince.
8. Because We believe in gua!an-
tee Of bank deposits.
8. Because Of the hypocrttical at
titude of the Republican platform
on publicity Of campaign coptrlbu-
tons.
We shall vote for Democratic
governor because in case kioc
Providence should remove one or
both of the dead ones" occupying
the New York seats IN the United
States senate who will assist Mr..
Bryan.
We shall vote for Democratic
mem bers Of the Legislature for the
same reason. And we shall vote for
Democratic congressman.

Why SpiffIicate

The Boston Herald's inehriety ex-
pert has a few words to say about jag
variants BY the way can he tell us
how the good old word spifflicated
came to get into such bad company?
Throughout the west the meaning of
this once eminently respectable word
has been so perverted as to be under
stood as a synonym for intoxicated.
The Herald man. who writes like that
earnest student of sociology, Philip
Hale, says:
"a man who has "a skate or IAN
edge is capable, like Habakkuk, of
anything. What will be the probable
conduct of man with a bum? He Is
by no means paralyzed' or 'ossified' or
even pickled.' (By the way. is 'ory-
ide' the original form or variant, and
to what precise degree of intoxication
should it be applied?) When you see
that a friend and brother is all in you
charitably call for hack.
"The word jag is an elastic one.
A man may have slight jag, an awful
lag or a wise jag, and in this last in
stance he might also be said to have a
still. Is a man that is foxed necessarily
stupifed? The word Jag meant orig
inally load, usually small carload
of hay, wood, etc. He had jag on is
an Americanism, as is the word
Jagged Whence the origin of the
phrases to have a bun and to have,
or to carry, a dog'?"

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
FERD K. RULE

nY THE death of Ferd Kennett Rule,
II Los Angeles has lost one of Its
~ best known citizens, who was
most industrious in its upbuilding and
in creating conditions which made 1t
metropolitan and great. No city in
the country owes so much to the de-
voted loyalty of individuals as Los
Angeles. Most of her great achieve
ments have been due not so much to
community efforts, although from time
to time such efforts have accomplished
good results and will accomplish more,
as to the efforts of individuals repre-
senting private or incorporated enter
prises. In his social life as well as
his business life Mr. Rule worked for
Los Angeles. He was for eight years
president of the Jonathan club, which
is known by reputation throughout all
clubdom, in every part of the United
States The fame of the Jonathan"
which must in great degree -1,e attrib-
uted to Mr.. Rules efforts and infiu-
ences, helped to extend the fame of
Los Angeles.
