FIRE At ANSON ON FRI
DAY NIGHT
Blaze Probably Caught from Hotel
Kitchen Range-Loss of $4,000.

In a $4,000 fire in Arson village
Friday night the house and stable
owned and occupied by William II.
Howard and the dwelling and black
smith shop owned by William H. How
ard and the dwelling and blacksmith
shop owned by Isaac LETTERS and the
livery stable owned by Mr.. LETTERS and
occupied by Fred Withee were burned
with most of their contents. Only
the horses in the two stables and a
piano and one or two chamber sets
from the Howard house were saved.
The fire is thought to have caught
from a kitchen range In the north
west corner of the kitchen of the
Howard house. In 10 minutes after
the fire was discovered the whole
house was ablaze and the flames
spread from that set of buildings to
Mr.. Jeffer's property and had there
been any wind it is thought the en-
tire business district would have been
swept out.
An attempt to ring in the fire alarm
failed and it was necessary to tele-
phone across the river to Madison in
order to get any help. Two lines of
hose were run across the river from
the Great Northern Paper Company s
plant and from the wooden mill.
Mr.. Howard took possession OF the
house November i, and has been max
ing considerable repairs thereon. 1t
was formerly hotel run by Cephas
Hilton. His loss Is estimated at
$4,000 and his insurance amounts to
about $4,000 on buildings and furni-
ture.
Mr.. Jeffers estimates his loss on the
stable at $500; on his house at $1,000;
and on the blacksmith shop at $500.
The insurance carried is $500. $500
and 5000 on the three buildings.

ministration, is of the opinion
that Colonel Theodore Roosevelt
is rapidly drifting toward Social
ism. Berger, who returned to
this country yesterday from the
international Socialistic conven-
ton at Copenhagen. declined to-
night to state whether in his
opinion Roosevelt's Syracuse
speech stamped him as a So
ciallst because he declared he
had not had time to analyze the
ColonePs utterances.
Colonel Roosevelt is an ex-
ceedingly clever politician and
but for the fact that he does not
go to the bottom Of things | am

however, that he is drifting our

that ne is being bounced because
he isn't honest, for he may be
able to swear with a clear
conscience that he never took so
much as a nickle in mis- life that
did not belong to him. He has
had to be sent for. He hasn't
been faithful. He has lied as to
why he was late, and as to
where he was last night. He
has gone upon the theory that it
was nodody's business how he
occupied his time outside bust
ness hours. Yet the growth of
bad character, if you are at all
close to it, is about as obvious as
the growth of a corn field. The
prudent business man does not
always wait until he has a case
in court. He prefers to settle
the little things with his employ
ers before they have gone that

and more exacting on the point
of Individual character. 1t is

which it can be closed against

competitor. and by the removal
of it through consolidation.

A GOOD IDEA FOR THOSE NOT RICH

One of the most feasible and
practical methods used in the
education of the family was prac-
ticed by farmer of my acqua-
lance. Having determined from
the birth of the first son into
the home that this boy and sue
ceeding children should be sent
to college, the husband and wife
found ways of laying by a little
at a time for the education fund.
In the course of years eight boys
and girls appeared in this home
and the problem of a college

THE GIRLS IN BUSINESS

The truth is that the girls are
getting the better of the boys in
many lines of genteel employ
ment. The bows may C 1mplain
of this as they y i'll, but the fact
stands. The young women in
this, and many towns, after a
certain hour, are quite as much
in evidence on their way to
work as young men; and the
man at the window can see they
look trim and neat, that they
hold up their heads as if they
were ready to meet the world
and their employers. They
have none of the appearance of
having deprieved themselves of
the necessary amount of sleep,
or of carrying a headache along
with them. Indeed, on a frosty
morning it is pleasant to see how
their eyes sparkle and their
cheeks glow. They are getting
the better of the boys because
they can be trusted to come to
their work in good form. They
may not be as strong as the
BOYS, but they take care of their
strength. They don't smoke,
they don't chew. they don't
drink, they don,t gamble, they
don't loaf. Society puts up ar
bituary rules for the girls, and
they must abide by them or lose
caste. The boys are suffered to
make their own rules and take
the consequence. Many a boy
thinks he can be gay and de
ceive everybody, and he runs
along until he loses his job. By
that time he is apt to think that
somebody has undermined hi II,
and to look quite past himself in
an attempt to locate the guilty
party. Business is ali the time
putting up bars against the gay
young man. Positions of re-
sponsibility, positions of trust,
positions requiring reliability
and regularity are being close d
against him. He may not see

training for all of them began
to be a serious question.
When the eldest was old en-
ough for college there W as
fund sufficient for him, so he was
sent to college with the UNDER
standing that the money he used
while at college was loan only,
and that as rapidly as possible at
the completion of his college
course it must be repaid with in
terest, to educate the second
child. 1t is a wonderful record
that of these chill jren not one
has failed of this trust, and each
boy or girl in turn has regarded
the loan as serious obligation
and with all possible earnestness
has turned it back into the
household treasury to be used
over and over again. Just now
the last of the eight children, a
daughter, is in her senior year
at a State normal college, and
the father told me not long
since that with the graduation
of the daughter that each men,
Der of the family would have
had four years college course
that the original capital has
been repaid as an emergency
fund for the father and mother.

FROM PRISON TO THE

London, KY. Sept 16. Caleb

In 1900. Powers. who was Sc
cretary of state at the time of
the assassination, was confined
in Jail eight years, his first three
trials resulting in convictions
and the fourth in a disagree

Last year Gov. Wilson swept
the court records clear of all of
the cased remaining untried in
connection with the Goebel mur-
der by granting pardons to Pow

The campaign between Pow

spectacular one and evoked
marked bitterness.
