The old historic Tammany Hall on

by fire this morning. while the Olym.

damagfed. by fire and water.
The intense cold and the snow
which covered the streets interferred
greatly with the work Of the firem>n.
Three alarms were sent in and only

to the ground floor.
The burning of Tammany Hall re.
calls the great political institutions

and unmade in day; 1t was where
the great political battles have been
fought for more than two score years;
where leaders have arisen in all their
glory when they had Tammany back
of them and when its Influence wao
taken away they fell never to arise
again on the political battle field.
They were then back. numbers. so
far back that they could never again
be seen nor heard.
In Tammany Hall all kinds OF cor

The refreshing balsam thrown out by
these trees fills the air and is breathed
into the lungs by the inhabitants and all

If you have catarrh you cannot go to

Governor to Attack Sa-

San Antonio. Tex, Sept. 14.-If The
Republicans do not elect a governor
this fall it will not be due to lack Of
effort on their part. Judge J. Q. Ter
rell, Of San Antonio. the Republican
nominee. will make the most vigorous
campo ign sever undertaken in this
state By any man opposed to the Dem
ocratic nominee since the days in which
pOpuliSm was rampant in the land.
The Republicans are thoroughly N
earnest. They believe the evident con-
troll of the Democratic party by the
saloon element of the state and its
subservience to United States senator
Joseph W. Bailey warrants the hope
their candidate will at least make it
extremely interesting to the Democratic
nominee
