BREWERY DAMAGED BY FIRE.
Defective Electric Wires Thought to
Have Been tho Cause.

Have Been tho Cause.
Newark, N. j., Aug, 9.-Fire caused
$4,000 damage to the plant of the
Kruger Brewing company, in Bel
mont avenue. The fire Is believed to
have been started in a boarded ceiling
by electric wires from which the In
sulation was worn off. Two employees
were leaving the office when they dis
covered the flames. One placed the
books and papers In the safe and the
other turned in an alarm.
The main office building In which
the fire started Is a two story frame
structure, and the chief engineer OF
the brewery and his family live OF
the second floor. All were out wher
the fire was discovered. The first floor
was wrecked and considerable damage
was done on the second. A heavy
wall made it possible for the iremer
to keep the flames from the brewery.

THRONCS WANT
DICTIONARIES
News Office Crowded With
Delighted Readers.

The NEWS offices were crowded
all day yesterday with people who
came for copies of Webster's New
Standard Dictionary in response to
the remarkable money-saving offer
repeatedly announced in the columns
of this newspaper.
The NEWS, IN all modesty, takes
this evidence of public appreciation
as a sincere compliment. All that
was asked was that people ome and
see this dictionary. But those who
came to see almost without a single
exception departed with a copy of the
work which is now offered to every
body In return for six consecutive
coupons and the cost Of handling.
OF course there were many of our
visitors who had not saved the neces-
sary coupons, but they went home
with the firm determination of do
ing SO.
Inspection Conquers Skepticism.
One caller at the office yesterday
appeared in the morning, looked at
the dictionary, said: wait; I'll be
right back" and reappeared in half
an hour with six dictionary coupons
taken from copies of the paper which
he had saved. 1t is presumable that
! this person came in a skeptical frame
Of mind else he would have brought
his coupons along In the first place.
The Webster's New Standard Die
tionary, under the unprecedented Of
fer, is the doom of skepticism.

Roy S. Shahan, who attended
the Omaha land show, states that
the Colorado exhibit there put all
the others in the shade. He says
that our bunch of valley boosters
succeeded in interesting the vast
throngs of farmers of the east
who attended the show when they
appeared to take no notice of the
exhibits and literature of many
other sections. The valley litera-
ture was especially interesting
and attractive and thousands of
pieces We're distributed. That
much benefit to the valley will
result from the enterprising eff
forts of our land men and that
many new and desirable settlers
will thereby be attracted, is a
foregone conclusion. - Alamosa

COLORADO MARBLE
BECOMING FAMOUS.

1t seems that there is to be
added one more item to the list
of natural products in which Amer
lea leads the world.
Supreme in corn, cotton, iron,
copper and gold, we are now, ac-
cording to report, to gain pre-
eminence in marble.
Now the New United States
federal court building and post
office at Denver, o. heroic size
and monumental design, is being
constructed of Colorado white
marble.
The Denver postoffice was de
signed by, and is being erected
under the direction of, Tracy,
Swartwout & Litchfield, who
have gained distinction by the
classical character of many of
their buildings.
The Denver postoffice," says
Evarts Tracy "was designed as
an expression of tn modern de-
velopment of the classic traditions
followed by government arch
itects in early buildings at
Washington, such as the capitol
and the treasury department builG-
ing.
"It was designed as a marble
building this being the material
most suited to work of such a
monumental character and partic-
ularly so for the clear atmos'
phere of Denver, where the sun
shine brings out the play of light
and shade in details which can
be executed with fineness in no
other stone than marble"
1t is remarkable how quietly
great things may come into ex
istence in this wonderful country
of ours, and so it appears that
while this classic government
building at Denver has suddenly
brought Colorado white marble
rather spectacularly before the
architectural world, the CONNER
cial development of the quarries
has been going on for a matter
of five years, and within the past
twelve months this marble has
won its way with many architects
and has been used in quite n
number of buildings in Salt Lake
T'-- and Denver, in Omaha, Hous
ton and other cities. j. M. Stude-
baker has used it in his office
buildings in South Bend. Youngs-
town, Ohio, has upwards of $780,
600 worth of it in the interior of
her new courthouse-said by many
competent critics to be the hand
soonest marble interior in the coun-
try; while Cuhahoga county gave
to this new infant American in
dustry what is reported as the
largest single order ever given
for interior white marble.-Har

William NJ. Burgess, an electrical

He named Rudolph. John and Carl

fellow passengers with him In n smok-
er on the Winnipeg Flyer, between

evening OF March s, 1911. The party
finally dwindled out until only Bur

Burgess said he did not know who
Wiehe was at that time
Il think the conversation drifted
around to the election o. Lorimer,"
he said, when / said II was generally
believed that Lorimer had spent q
great deal Of money in his election.
"Wiehe said: You don't know very
much about It. Lorimer lid not spend
any Of his own money FOR his election,
but jackpot was raise for that pur-
pose. | know what I'm talking about
because subscribed $4,000 Wiehe
said the Jackpot amounted to $780,

Senator Kern (Dem.. Ind, asked
Burgess IL he did not think IL was re.
markable that a man would talk to
O stranger about having taken part
In the bribery of the legislature.
This is the peculiar part of It,"
answered Burgess. That was why
the conversation made such strong
impression upon my mind"
On cross-examination, Burgess test
fed that Wiehe said that private de-
tectives had been employed to get
evidence against Lorimer and had
gone to Father Greene, OF Chicago,
for a confession. He said he under.
stood that II was either the Chicago
Tribune or the Record-Herald that
had employed the private detectives.
The priest was alleged to have said
that the detectives were doing an in.
justice to Lorimer.
Wiehe asserted, Burgess said, that
the newspaper employing the private
detectives afterwards telephoned
Father Greene that IL intended TO
publish his photograph and to fll
page based on what he had said TO
the detectives.
