Origin Unknown.
The origin OF the fire Is not posi-
lively known although It's center
seemed to be above the three large
boilers that heat the building and other
business houses OF the city. Some
people advance the theory that the fire
was caused by combustion Of dust
above the boilers. When discovered
the flames were roaring up the eleya-

department ana had spread to the rear
of the furniture department on the
second floor,
The blaze was discovered by Night

When the department arrived the
entire interior of the dry goods, shoe,
hardware, grocery and implement de-
partments were thick with smoke, 1t
being difficult to locate the fire. At
that time the flames had not shown
themselves above the roof. but soon
burst above the building. and heavy
clouds OF smoke, that We're easily seen
In all the cities Of the valley, rolled to
the skies. As the windows were
broken to get the hose into the second
floor, the flames burst from the open
ings. When the center of the fire was
located, several streams of water were
soon plying on the flames. Every
available foot of hose was connected

OWEN DUNAWAY
ANNOUNCES FOR REGISTRAR

The announcement of Owen 'Duna-
way, of South PiGtsburg, for registrar,
will be found in our announcement
column this week, subject to the ac-
ton of the democratic party. Mr..
Dunaway is cripple, and practically
all his life has been engaged in Office
work, thus he is equipped in an excel
lent manner for the duties of the Office,
such as recording deeds, making trans
Grips, etc. We are not personally ae-
quainted with Mr. Dunaway, and
hence have to fall back on what the
Hustler said about him last week,
which is as follows:
'Owen Dunaway, of this city, an
nounces his candidacy for the office of
registrar, subject to the action of the
democratic party. His claims for the
serious and favorable consideration of
his candidacy by the voters are GER
tainly worthy of first notice. Owen,
being cripple, is not physically able
to perform any manner of labor except
such as that OF clerical nature, bul
he does not parade his misfortune as d
means of creating sympathy, for aside
from this he is fully qualified to per
form the duties of this Office. He haf
had practically life times expert
ence in clerical and and stenographi'
work He, not like most men so un
fortunate as to be unable to perform
ordinary labor and who depend upoi
others for support, has always beef
industrious and by grit and energy ha
found way to be of service and earl
an honest living. His experience IL
clerical work naturally fits him TO
this Office. The people should serious
" consider Mr.. Dunaway's claims.

Announces for Sheriff.

A. w. Ferguson announces for sher-
iff of Marion county in this issue, hay
ing determined to let the good people
know that he is out for the office as
we'll as the other good men and true
of the republican party who have al
ready announced. Mr.. Ferguson,
who holds now and has held for years
office as deputy sheriff, has gained
enough experience thereby to make a
rafting good sheriff. If there has
been any complaint over his official
conduct, we have not heard it. He is
in the race to win, if possible, and
wants his friends to give him good
lift into the position he desires. When
the proper time comes for nomination
he wants to be remembered and given
a fair show, that's all. Mr.. Ferguson
has our best wishes for su ccess, as we
have known him for many years and
alw avs found him straight forward,
honest and fulfils his duty always.
