Horse Market
AUCTION EVERY FRIDAY

Business in the horse trade has been very slack
during the months of June and July, scarcely any
demand and prices away off. But beginning with the
August sales look to see demand start up fairly
we'll and as we enter the fall season, expect to do
big business in the sale Of Southern Horses and
Feeders.
The wonderful all round crop throughout the
middle west will stimulate buying both for the mar
kets and the feed lots and lower prices Of feed will
encourage the tearing interests to replenish their
work stock So upon the whole, am counting on do
ing as large fall business ever did since start
ing the auctions 1t is true it presidential year, and
it is also true that democratic president will al
most certainly be elected, and while am personally
for office, so don't fear the consequences of making
known my stand) my present notion of the finish in
this race will be Wilson first, T. R. second and Will
liam the feshy, bad third.
But however the election may terminate, the
business of the country will 'og right along" based
on the almost record crops of the entire country.
There is, in my Judgment, only one element to
fear and that is the fool papers over the country
which predict horrible results in case democrat is
elected
am glad to note that this class of papers are
growing fewer with each new campaign, but there
are still few Of the mossbacks" left and their in
fuence whatever it may amount to, is really the
only thing business has got to fear in the present
campaign Three very estimable gentlemen are NOM
mated for the office of president though, virtually
but two of them are running, and l haven't the
slightest fear for the results Of the election Of either
of them.
If we can just have "Sane Campaign from
the newspapers, the business of the country except
possibly few postoffice jobs will never experience
the least jar from any change which may occur
Anyhow, here's to the great prosperity Of the
country our crop outlook should justify to the sue
cess of Teddy if the people decide to rule and to the
success of the democrats if Teddy can't win.

scribe unfirom system Of accounting
for the great protected industries. The
work of the commission should not
prevent the immediate adoption OF acts
reducing these schedules generally rec
ognized as excessive.
I'VE condemn the Payne-Aldrich bill
as unjust to the people. The republi-.
can organization Is in the hands OF
those who have broken, and cannot
again be trusted to keep the promise
Of necessary downward revision. The
democratic party Is committed to the
destruction of the protective system
through tariff for revenue only-a
policy which would inevitably produce
widespread industrial and commercial
disaster We demand the immediate re-

the fire departments efforts on the
saving Of adjoining and threatened
buildings; saved the day. The Har'
per & McIntire Co., buildings cover
almost a half of the Commercial street
business block. A part Of the rear wall
and the dividing wall, remain stand
ing today. The great stock OF the
firm, valued at $125,ooO lies In the
cellar, still smouldering today. The
firemen and their scores Of volunteers
battled with the flames all night and
are stilling playing several streams OF
water on the ruins today. Only two
pieces Of wall remain standing. The
cause OF the conflagratioh Is not
known Clarence harper, q member
of the firm, stated today that the only
plausible origin is electric wires but
that he has no reasonable grounds for
believing that such was the cause.
Those who witnessed the terrible
blaze. marvel at it's confinement to the
hardware building Heat, water and
smoke caused considerable damage to
adjoining property.
Loss is Over 100000.
Although the estimated loss today
reaches $4,000, damage that cannot
be Appropriated at the present time.
will easily send the total over the
100000 figure. OF this amount the
Harper & McIntire firm has $175,0OO.
Clarence Harper asserts that the best
estimate of the value of the stock Is
$125,OOO and that it Is a total loss.
The building valuation is given at $5o,'
900. The E. H. Emery & Co., fruit
house on the east of the fire, was the
next heaviest loser. Mr.. Emery esti-
mating his loss today at about SILL
5OO His entire stock of fruit Is
ruined. His ice cream manufacturing
department in the cellar Of the build
ing has been greatly damaged. After
the flames were placed under control
about II o'clock last night, over two
hours after the blaze was discovered,
four feet Of water stood In the fru,f
house cellar. The large store OF ba-
nanas in the cellar was destroyed by
heat and water. The heat was in
tense, steam arising nearly all night
from the water Today, the building
Is still torrid in temperature. The
fire wall, constituted by the west wall
Of the Emery building and the east
wall Of the Harper & McIntire struc-
ture, which held out so firmly against
the attacks of the roaring flames, was
badly warped by the intense heat and
makes loss Of approximately $4,000.
Mr. Emery's loss is fully insured.
The Grippe Co., situat-
ed on the west side of the destroyed
hardware building, escaped with loss
Of about $4,000, despite the fact that
the slight wind that prevailed all
night, carried the soaring flames and
heat toward it. The greater part Of
the fruit stock Is ruined while the
water that partially filled the cellar is
causing considerable trouble Neither
fruit house sustained sufficient dam
age to necessitate the suspension Of
business.

suIilvan.MorrIssey Loss.

| Another heavy loss that is 'regretta-
BILE because of the fact that the con-
flagration of the hardware building
played but a small part, was that of
the Sullivan-Morrissey women's store
on Main street. When the fire had
reached It's most threatening state and
lines of hose were being laid from
every available water plug, one was
| attached to the plug in front of the
Sullivan-Morrissey store, about mid
way in the block on Main The door
of the store was forced and the hose
laid through the entire length of the
| building to the fire. With both front
and rear doors opened and the rear
| windows broken, the draft filled the
store with dense smoke and terrible
heat. In addition, the couplings of the
hose in several places were defective
and the leaks sprayed water for hours
over the stock and gradually the eel
! lar began to fill up So uncertain Is
the extent Of the damage to the wear
ing apparel, the proprietors Of the
store are unable to make any estima-
ton whatever of the loss. However,
| it Is thought 1t will reach several thou
sand dollars as many Of the. very cost
| ly gowns are ruined.
The Grips & Co., livery barn, to the
east of the Emery building, escaped
with comparatively small loss. One
horse was kicked by another when be-
| ing rushed from the building and a
broken shoulder made 1t necessary to
kill the animal. The harness and liv-
cry equipment was also rushed out
| in wagon load after wagon load. This
morning, it has not all been accounted
for and until complete invoice is
taken, the figures of the loss will not
be known.
The rear portions of the Main street
stores near the fire, suffered from
heat, hardly window being left in
any of the central tier Of buildings.
Little damage was done to the inter-
Tors, however, for the reason that the
firemen directed their stream on the
buildings to them.

The Tariff.
The tariff plank says: 1--WE believe
in protective tariff which shall equal
lie conditions Of competition between
the United States and the foreign coun-
tries, both for the farmer and the man
ufacturer and which shall maintain for
labor an adequate standard OF living
Primary the benefit Of any tarin
should be disclosed in the pay envel-
ope of the laborer We declare that
no industry deserves protection which
is unfair to labor or whic his operating
In violation Of federal law We be-
lieve that the presumption Is always in
favor of the consuming public.
I'VE demand tariff revision because
the present tariff is unjust to the peo-
pie Of the United States, fair dealing
toward the people requires an immedi-
ate downward revision Of those sche
dulles wherein duties are shown to he
unjust or excessive. We pledge orr
selves to the establishment Of a non
partisan, scientific tariff commission
reporting both to the president and Ia
either branch Of congress which shall
report first as to the cost of produc-
ton, efficiency Of labor capitalization
tive position in this country and
abroad, Of industries seeking protection
from congress. Second as to the reve
nue. producing power Of the tariff and
its relation to the resources of the gov
eminent and thirdly as to the effect OF
the tariff on prices, operations Of mid

the consumer.
