Hotel Adams Destroyed by Fire.

The Adams hotel in Phoenix. one of the finest hosteleries Tn the territory, was burned 10 the ground last Tuesday morning. The fire started in the basement under the drug store in the southwest corner of the building and it is said that for some reason it was impossible for the firemen to get water for fully twenty minutes after they appeared on the scene. In that time the flames went up through tAe building and reached the third floor and all hope of saving the building was past.
 When the fire broke out nearly every one in the hotel was asleep. and 30 rapid was the spread of the flames that many of the guests barely escaped with their lives.
 The fight of the firemen was to confne the fire to the hotel and that they succeeded in doing this speaks we'll for the efficlencv of the organization.
 Loss estimated at a quarter Of 8 million dollars.
 No lives were lost, as was at first reported.
 J. C. Adams, the owner of the destroyed building, says q new quarter Of a million dollar hotel will at once be erected on the site of the old.
 The insurance was about $1O0.- 900,

FOLK TALKS.
Holds Forth Friday Night-Clark
and Roy Saturday Night.


Former Governor j. w. Folk
stirred the Democrats to enthusi.
asm at the Mexico court house last
Friday night. He was introduced
by Col. Green Clay, chairman of
the county central committee.
Mr.. Folk is Missouri's iniorsed
candidate for President in 1912.
He spoke in a forceful way Of
the new nationalism, the Tariff
Commission and the unfa al.
ness of the Republican party es-
pecially such representatives u
that party as Senator Foraker,
Senator Mitchell, Senator Depew
and others.
He declared that he, as a Demo
crat, believed he expressed the
sentiments of Democracy wher he
condemned such 3athhouse Dem
ocracy and Jackpot Democrats as
recently have been recognized in
the State of Illinois.
Indiscussingthenew nationalisln
Folk said, instead Of destroying
the self-government Of the State i'll
or'ier to centraliZa power in the
Federal Government to meet the
Capitalization Of capital, better
l,lan would be tD drcontralize cap
ital and disorganizc the trusts.
1t is not necessary to change
our form of government to sup
press the trusts, he said, but it is
necessary for the Government to
use the power it already has to
punish violators Of the antitrust
laws and to dissolve unlawful COM
binations of capital.
Saturday night was the time for
the announced debate between the
Hon. Champ Clark and Judge
Reuben F. Roy, the first, our
Democratic nominee for reelection
to Congress, and the second, his
Republican opponent.
Clark opened the debate and
spoke for an hour. In that time he
did not make the scintila Of a REF.
erence to Mr.. Roy. Roy followel
| for an hour and his first assertion
was a reference to Clark, and he
kept it up all thru his speech
| Clark closed with a 10 minute
speech, and he did not overlooE
Roy this time. but he "skinnec
him from head to foot, " as We
heard a voter express it, and ther
rubbed in the salt.
Roy is no match in Oratory anC
debate with Champ Clark. B'I
he was at some disadvantage OF
this occasiOn-the subject a MAJ
has to handle sometimes makes
great difference, holds back his in
spiration. All the important poll
tical issues were touched upon
but after all Judge Roy said no on
was able to say whether he is
stand-patter or insurgent or pre-
gressive.
