ed, consistently to work against his
own ticket. especially when he is the
recognized boss of a whole congress
sional district. But there is another
reason for his support of Kern, regard
less of his personal feeling. That is
that he knows that a Democratic leg
islature that will elect Kern United
States Senaor will probably also re-
peal he county local option law. and
this is the main fight of fleming and
the rest of the brewers. A Republican
legislature will leave the local option
law stand as it is on the statute
books and will also elect Senator Bev-
eridge to succeed himself. This situa-
ton accounts in large measure for
the support which Fleming will give
Kern IN the campaign and in the Sem
ate next winter.
The brewers have their heats set on
the repeal of the local option law above
everything else. and they are working
for that end with all their might
Speaking of Fleming, a good deal of
anxiety exists over the state on account
of his delay in announcing the names
of the Democrats who are to be ap-
poited to deputy oil inspectorships 1t
is known that the whole matter is up
to Fleming. He will have the naming
of the chief oil inspector and the thirty
CT forty deputies in the state, and the
applicants for the places are so num-
erous that they are beginning to grow
! impatient over the delay. It is not
expected, however, that Fleming will
name any of them until after the cleo
ton, the places will not be vacant
until the first of next January

elect, and it is believed that they will
be sufficient to change the. complexion
of the legislature on joint ballot one
way or the other.
Therefore, it is a big fight that is
on IN this county for the election OF
the legislative ticket. 1t Is believed
that the election of a United States
Senator depends on the result in this
county. 1t is known that the Demo-
Gratis are going to dump practically all
of their campaign money into this
county, even If they are compelled to
| leave some of the other counties with
out any money. This may not be en-
tirely satisfactory to the other counties
| but the Democratic managers under
stand the Importance of the Marion
county election, and will do everything
in their power to carry IT.
| Steve Fleming, of Fort Wayne. was
in the city, yesterday, and he reiterat-
ed his statement made several days
ago that he is for Kern for senator. He
said he had been smoked out" into
making the statement, but that he
meant every word of It.
This, of course is interesting in view
| of the fact that the relations between
Kern and Fleming have not beer
pleasant for a number of years. Dur
ing several years they did not ever
speak, the whole trouble having ariser
out of the fact that Kern brought abou
the defeat of Fleming when he was
a candidate for state chairman.
The reason for Fleming's support O.
Kern. however, is readily understood

POND co. LOST
IN MEMPHIS FIRE
Blaze at Memphis Early Saturday
Morning Caused Damage Which
Will Extend into 5 Figures.

Fire in Memphis early Saturday
morning resulted in over $4,000
damages, nearly $1,000 of which was
sustained by the S. p Pond company
of this city, whose produce in two
story storage house was destroyed.
The fire had it's origin in the Chew
Music store which was destroyed
with much stock. Adjoining struc-
lures were also badly damaged,
Chickens, eggs and shipping crates
stored there by Ponds were con-
sumed in the flames and it was esti-
mated yesterday that the Keokuk
company's loss will almost read the
four figure mark.
The fire company had difficulty in
successfully fighting the flames as the
water supply was short, and the best
work could only be done in keeping
the blaze from spreading, which was
/ done with good results.
Among other buildings damaged by
! fire were those owned by j. w. Bence

WAS A FAMILIAR FIGURE

Albert Azinger, Keokuk's veteran
ice dealer, closed his eyes in death
Saturday evening at SIS o'clock at
+ his home, near Prices creek, caused
by erysipeas and a complication OF
diseases.
Mr.. Azinger had been in i'll health
| during the entire winter, and had
been in a critical condition. His sick
ness dated from the early part of
! last November, when he was at times
| close to death from diabetes; but he
rallied from this sickness and mem
bers of the family saw such an I'M
provement that longer life was pre-
dicted. Several weeks ago he was
able to be out and around but sooa
was compelled, to return to his bed,
which was for the last time. Erysipe-
las set in and his decline was rapid
until death ensued last evening.
In Keokuk's business life during the
past five years this aged gentleman
had been very active. Launching into
the ice business five years ago, he
would have begun his sixth year as
very successful dealer this season
A few years ago he erected a nam
moth ice house on Johnson between
Ninth and Tenth streets, which still
stands as a monument to his bushes:
enterprise. A big-hearted German al
ways honest and upright in bushes
and otherwise, he made wide &C
fquaintance in Keokuk, and man
! recognized his sterling qualities.

Born In Germany.

Albert Azinger was born in Dissell-
dorss, Germany, on March 4 sixty
five years ago and was of sturdy Ger.
man parentage. Before embarking for
America he was united in marriage to
Amelia Sheckhouse, which occurred
on March 4, 1876
On July 10, 1873, Mr.. Azinger was
enronte to America and previous to
his coming to Keokuk lived in Penn
sylvania and Ohio On March 9, fiji,
teen years ago he arrived in this city
and his early activity was spent as
a carpenter
Alert to the great possibilities Keo
kuk presented for the ice dealer and
glancing at the broad expanse of ca
nal which lay so invitingly near with
tits icy winter covering, Mr.. Azinger
was not long in entering the field and
made rapid success in the business.
