Fire Fighting Difficult with Rotten Hose

=
An alarm from box 81 about nine
O'Clock Wednesday night called the
fire company to the residence of Han
nibal Hall on School street and before
the fire was subdued the building was
practically ruined by fire and water.
When discovered the fire had made
considerable progress, having caught
in or near the roof of the barn on the
northeast corner. possibly from defect
i've electric wiring or sparks from a
locomotive in the nearby railroad yard,
though the real cause has not been de
termined. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall had re-
tired and were aroused by parties from
outside. The hose company was on
the spot in quick order and would have
made short work of the fire but for
the repeated bursting of hose on the
School street hydrant, which deprived
them of water at a vital point and
enabled the fire to creep into the main
part of the house till it was badly
damaged. Much criticism of the fire
company has been afOat, but there
was some confusion, incident to the
unexpected inadeQuacy of the equip
ment, it seems wrong to blame the
boys for their inability to cope with a
fire with rotten hose to work with.
The need Of hose was known. Money
was voted in the spring for the pur-
pose, and equipment was ordered and
on the way, but came too late. Mr..

MY SPECIFIC CRIMES.
ID Desertion of Democratic Part

CD DesertiOn of Democratic Party.
Major Geo. T. Barnes, who had for several
terms been acceptable Congressman to the
Tenth District, asked for another term. Like
Bill Howard and many others at present, he said,
II want it again.. He made his on the reg
ular Democratic platform Mine made on
the Alliance platform, although / not, and
never became, a member of the order. One of the
points made by me against Major Barnes that
he had been in Congress several terms, and had
never done anything for the general relief of the
people. This point | am now again making
against men who say that they want it again, but
who proving that they deserve it by circu~
lating an old newspaper clipping, of the vintage
of 1901. AS it is costing the Government large
sum of money, paid to the railroads for hauling
it all over the country, this circulation of that
ancient clipping seems to me quite indefensible.
Gentlemen who raise their own salaries So, 500
year, without notice to the people whose pockets
bear the increased expense, and who make the
grab without having the manhood to put their
names ON record, they vote themselves the
grab, might at least pay postage ON their cam
paign literature
The Alliance platform, to which I owed my
election, pledged me to certain principles. The
Indianapolis Convention of the Farmers Alliance
of 1891, CATER my election) instructed every
Congressman whom Alliance votes had elected
to adhere to the principles, regardless of the
Gus OF either the Democratic or Republican party
To get the sense of my District this ques-
ton, l went all it, explaining the matter
and asking the who had elected me what
must do. Should stand by the Democratic party
or by the Alliance principles?
In vast assemblages, I put the question to
vote With uplifted hands and enthusiastic
shouts, the people Numbered back, "STAND BY
THE PRINCIPLES!''
Therefore, when I went to Washington, I did
not enter the Democratic caucus. To have done
so would have tied my hands. That winter the
Peoples Party launched at st. Louis. It
adopted the Alliance principles, and went with
it, Nine counties out of eleven in my District in
dorsed my course in the election which followed.
THEY WOULD DO 1T AGAIN TODAY.
And I'll tell you another thing, Bill Howard.

"Traitor! Traitor!" raised by the city politicians
in 1892; and who now realize what a wrong was
inflicted upon me, and who see that all the fine

ELECTRICITY IN BIBLE TIMES.
Some Would Explain Miracles by Sup.
posing It's Use.

An electrical engineer of Munich
named Stadenmann makes an ingenious
argument TO prove that the Jews in the
time of Moses Lad an advanced knowl-
edge of electricity, using passages from
the Bible TO enforce his claim, says the
Boston Globe
His theory of the famed serpent of
bronze is that it was lightning con-
ductor, and he also says that the temple
at Jerusalem was protected by metal
points connected with the ground.
The most ingenious speculation is in
regard to the ark of the covenant, which
was made of walls of wood covered on
both sides with metal. If this were con
nected with the metal teeth on the tenn
pie roof it would form sort of Leyden
jar charged with the electricity of the
atmosphere and would give a shock to
any one touching it,
Mr.. Stadenmann preSumes that Moses
gained his knowledge of electricity from
the Egyptians. This ancient race GER
tainly had knowledge Gf many branch
es of science that it took the rest of the
world thousands of years to learn. But
the only proof that they were electrical
engineers is one recently advanced by an
ar n aeologist-that they must have had
electric lights because their background
temples show no traces of smoke.

Buttermflk Cottage Cheese.


| doubt if any housewife knows that
