HERREID, s. D. DESTROYED.
Business District Entirely Wiped Out
BY Fire.

Herreid, So. Oak. - Flames of
unknown origin wiped out the entire
business district Of Herreid, finally
dying out for lack of buildings to de-
stroy.
There is no fire fighting apparatus
in this village of 300 people and when
the flames were fairly started all that
could be done to stop them was for
the bucket brigade to pour water on
the roofs and sides of the buildings
yet standing.
Owing to the high wind these ef-
forts were in vain and the fire con-
tinued till it burned itself out.
The loss is estimated as between
$4,000 and 100000. The buildings
destroyed were the Herreid State
bank, Dickman & Danberger, general
merchandise; Karl Welzer, general
merchandise; Blair Drug company, H.
H. Heinoe, meat market: c. o. Rob-
bins, jewelry; w. S. Seigle, saloon,

ance carried by these firms will not
total one-tenth of the loss.

Chicago, Ill. Harold A. Sims
told striking story of wholesale graft
before Master in Chancery Roosevelt
B. Mason here in connection with the
investigation being made into the al
legged s1,5O0,000 car repair fraud in
the Illinois Central railroad.
Sims, former car inspector for the
railroad, and later in the employ of
one of the five car repair companies
charged with the fraud, declared that
the Illinois Central was made to fur
nish not only materials, but also labor
for repairs, and then was charged from
one of three prices for the work
through an elaborate system Of pad
ded bills.
Sims said the greater part Of the
woodwork supposed to have been done
in the independent shops and for
which the railroad company paid a
round figure, was really done, at the
Illinois Central shops in Memphis. He
said the railroad company was prac-
tically paying handsomely for doing
work for itself. s Is.

Ottumwa, Iowa. - Such townships

of trafficking in liquor may do so in
the event of Democratic success at the
forthcoming gubernatorial election. AT
least the platform adopted at the con;
vention Of that party here says SO, but

Supreme Court Nominations.
p. B. Wolfe, Of Clinton, received the
long term and H. G. Van Wageman the

temporary chairman, delivered the key
note speech. H. J. Stenger, of Toledo.
presided over the permanent organiza-
tion.
A ringing speech was delivered by
Claude R. Porter, the Democratic can
didate for governor.
The platform denounces recent tariff
revision as "a masterpiece of injus-
tice, declared trust and monopolies to
be intolerable, opposed the central
bank idea, condemns the postal savings
bank law in allowing the withdrawal
OF savings from the communities in
which they are deposited and accused
the Republican national administration
of making reckless expenditures. It
indorses the regulation of railway, tele-
phone, telegraph and express COM
panies; an income tax; the conserva-
tion Of natural resources; the prin-
ciple of the initiative, referendum and
recall and the improvement of roads.
1t urges a modification of the state
primary law to reduce expenses and
declares for the Oregon plan of elect
ing senators until such time as it shall
be possible to do so by direct vote of
the people.
The liquor plank is as follows: The
Democratic party is in favor of as
large a degree of individual liberty as
is compatible with the rights of or.
ganized society, and therefore with the
reference to the use and sale of intoxi.
eating liquor we are in favor of a
strict local option law with high Ii.
cense, the minimum to be fixed by the
legislature under which the municipal.
ity shall declare by vote of the people
thereof, whether or not intoxicants

Washington, D. G. - The enormous
Washington, July 30.-The enormous
sum Of $1,718, 100000 is owed by the
1853 cities in the country having each a
population Of more than 10000. The
figures show net indebtedness and are
given out by the census bureau as re-
suit of it's canvass for 1908.
The same authority finds that of this
sum New York owes $684,OOO,00O, or
almost 40 per cent of the aggregate.
This is more than seven times the
amount Of the net Indebtedness of any
other city and more than one-half of
the total amount owed by the 29 next
largest cities in this country.
1t is also shown that of $275, 900, 900
spent for improvements in the 1853 cities
in 1908, New York expended more than
$83, 100000, or nearly one-third the en-.
tire sum. OF the total debt increase
for the year, $185,S77, 1856, nearly one
half, is credited o-New York. The
per capita indebtedness of New York
also is much larger than that Of any
other city, exceeding $157, as compared
with $128 for Cincinnati, $119 for
Boston and $113 for Galveston, the 9TH
cities making the nearest approach.
Money for improvements.
It is pointed out that a larger proper
tion Of the New York improvement ex-
penditures have been for public service
conveniences. The betterment of the
water system, the construction of toll
bridges and other self-supporting serv-
ices are responsible for 81 per cent of
the total net debt of the metropolis.
Of the cities exceeding 100000 popula-
tion, Detroit has the smallest per CAPT.
ia debt, $26, but Indianapolis, falling
below 100000, makes an improvement
with debt Of only about $17 to the
person.
In the matter Of the payments for
expenditures in 1908 Chicago took rank
next to New York, the total for the
Illinois city being $1s,093,9S6. Phila-
delphia's expenditure was $14,473, 1874.
OF the total expenditures for all the
current expenditure this was principal
ly for public improvements.
