Walsh, alderman for the Fifth

Eliza Arter had probably resided
longer in this city than anyone else.
Mrs Walsh was born in Cairo, July

tinuously since that time--near 60
years. In "reminiscences of the

FIRE BURNS BUILDING

OF FIRE DEPARTMENT

The paint and paper hangers store
and residence OF M. J. Mahaffee 1713
Commercial avenue was destroyed by
fire yesterday morning at $3.50
o'clock The building, a two story
frame, was owned by Harry w.
Schulz and was insured for $1,000.
The stock and fixtures and house
hold goods are practically a total
loss, estimated at between s3,500 to
$4,000. Mr.. Mahaffee carried $4,000
insurance.
John Harris, the porter at Harry
W. Schuh's drug store gave the
alarm. Although the fire was next
door to No. 2 fire station none of the
fireman knew Of the fire until their
attention was called to 1t.
The shop was closed when the fire
was FIRST noticed. M. Hadfield an
employe had started fire in a heat
ing stove and after locking the front
door left the place to do some work
downtown. Mr.. Mahaffee and his
family were at Olmstead on visit
to friends II is supposed that the
fire originated from the heat from
the stove pipe setting fire to the CELL
ing wall paper which was attached
to muslin.
This building was one of the old
landmarks. It was built In 1868 by

Woodrow Wilson opened his cam

he was the guest Of honor.
II sometimes think 1t a peculiar
circumstance that the present Re-

Providence We do not have to train
men to interpret the United States,
when an emergency arises there Is
always some genius who appears
from the rank of uncatalogued men

way to victory.
THE people have been deceived 50
many times, by public servants. that
they are suspicious. In politics,
man should do what he promises TO

Chairman Of Prosressives Asserts
Deneen and Sullivan Fixed
Ballot Heads
MAIL ARRANGED FOR CLERK
Brown Envelopes and Blue Pencil
Marks Used to Distinguish
Petitions

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb 12.-Direct
charges of fraud In connection with
the fling OF petitions both at Spring
field and in the office of County
Clerk Sweitzer were made yesterday
by Paul Steinbrecher. chairman of
the progressive Republican cam
paign committee.
Mr.. Steinbrecher charges that
Governor Deneen and Roger c. Sulli-
van SO arranged matters that at
Springfield Sullivan Democrats were
given first place on the ballot and In
County Clerk Switzer's office the Re-
publican "slate" ticket was placed
at the head OF the list.
In addition Mr. Steinbrecher says
that the filing of the petitions at
Springfield in the office of James A..
Rose secretary of state, was so
fraudulent on It's face that legal ac-
tion will be taken to force a rear
rangement of names on the ballot.
Envelopes We're Marked.
That brown envelopes on which
were marked with blue pencil the
order in which the ballots were to
be received were used by the ma
chine in sending in the petitions of
their candidates is charged by Mr.
Steinbrecher.
He also charges that Postmaster
Wheeler OF Springfield was in the al
legged agreement, delivering the
registered mail at the office OF the
secretary of state before the regular
mail was delivered. In the regis
tered mail were the petitions of the
Sullivan and Deneen states.
Brown envelopes, blue pencil
marks on the envelope and frame

Those who were on the inside re-
ceived the tip the night before the
day for receiving petitions to mail
their petitions by registered mail. To
a limited few was confided the in
formation regarding the brown en-
velope and the blue pencil marks"
Figure on Votes Gained.
"By their trickery and fraud, ;"
continued MFR. Steinbrecher, (which
is typical of the gang methods that
for decades have disgraced Illinois,
the schemers estimate that they
have lead of from 10000 to 10000
votes.
THE whole frame up was De-
neen-Sullivan game. At Springfield
the Deneen machine saw to 1t that
its office-seekers secured top place.
In Chicago Roger Sullivan's ma
chine, In addition to putting Sulli-
van candidates on top, saw to it that
the Deneen-Pease machine candi-
dates were also looked after In Coun-
