To some, each new spring comes
with the freshness Of a first one, and
there is an evanescent charm about
It which no other season possesses.
1t is long series of progressions.
beginning with the first soft southern
breeze, the melting of the snow and
the earliest MARBLE of the pioneer blue
bird, tiny patch OF sky flown down
TO earth, the unlocking OF mountain
streams, the soft pussy willow buds
and the twilight piping Of frogs. There
is premonition and expectancy in the
air. Then, with alternating showers
and sunshine, the dreary-looking earth
takes on little by little a fresh robe
OF verdure. pale green at first, half
hiding the skeleton outlines Of the
trees and wrapping the landscape in
misty dream OF beauty There are
varying shades; here and there where
there are oaks, splotches Of brownish
purple, and along the hillsides great
masses of blossoms, dogwood and
Judas tree and billowy reaches Of
white and pink orchards, All along
the way in dooryards are white and
purple lilacs loading the air with
fragrance. and the fields IRE spangled
with golden dandelions

LIGHTNING BURNED ELEVATOR
MILLIoN-BUSHEL STRUCTURE 4
MASS OF DEBRIS.
Loss is $15o,ooo-six Blocks of Homes
Observation-Disclosures Shops Also
Singed-Firemen Injured.

Kansas City, June 24.-Lightning
set fire to the million bushel Union
Pacific grain elevator on the Kansas
side at 345 p. m. The roof fell in a
few minutes later and at nightfall
there was only a glistening pile of
embers, covering about block, where
one of the greatest elevators of the
Southwest had stood.
Falling embers and excessive heat
spread the fire to six blocks of houses
nearby. By working in heat which
caused their helmets and coats to
burn, firemen saved all except six of
the smaller houses, but all were dam
aged.
The total loss probably will be
about $150,OO0. About 100000 bush.
els of grain which had been in stor-
age there was removed last Tuesday.
At first it was believed all of that
was destroyed.
T. c. Ebert and R. w. Jackson
were at work in the cupalo of the
elevator Immediately under the roof
when the lightning struck. t.
They could not escape by the stairs
so went out over the roof to the iron
ladder and started the long descent
of 100 feet. They had gone only
about 20 feet when there was an ex-
plosion which almost threw them
from the ladder. Several firemen were
severely injured.
The intense heat caused alarm at
the Union Pacific shops, the Morris
and Swift packing plants and other
large institutions several blocks away
from the fire The Union Pacific shops
were on fire once, but company fire.
men extinguished the blaze and the
loss there was small.

CALLED BRYAN
TO BALTIMORE
Democrats Wire for Leader After
Naming Parker Chairman.
MANY CONTESTS BEING FILED
Convention at Baltimore May Yet Re-
suit in Scenes Similar to Chicago
Gathering-26 in Illinois
Dispute.

Baltimore, June 22.-The action of
electing Judge Alton b. Parker of
New York temporary chairman of the
Democratic national convention has
served to draw sharper line be-
tween the progressive and conserva-
tive elements of the party. Progress
sives under the leadership of Bryan
will stand together against the New
York man.
Moreover, leaders of the move
ments to nominate Speaker Champ
Clark and Gov. Wilson decided that
since an issue was raised between
progressives and conservatives, they
would come out for the progressives
and put forward candidates against
Judge Parker.
1t was reported that telegram
had been sent to William j. Bryan
asking that he come at once to Balti
more. Several national committee
men said they expected fight by Mr.
Bryan and his friends would be made
on the floor of the convention against
Parker.
Contest in Illinois.
Notification was filed with Urey
Woodson, secretary of the national
committee by Representative Henry
T. Rainey of Illinois that contests
would be made against the six dele
tnc of 10 TlIinnio hn
first ten congressional districts, COM
prising the city of Chicago.
The contests are those of the So
called Heart-Harrison faction against
the Sullivan faction. The fight prob
ably will involve the seats of more
delegates than any other that the ma
tional committee will be called upon
to settle. Representative Rainey, af
ter filing the contests, declared that
the Sullivan delegates would be for
Champ Clark for president on the
first ballot, while the Heart-Harrison
delegates were for Clark all the time
Within few minutes after the ILL
nois contests were filed, Secretary
Woodson received notification by tele-
gram from James E. Burke of Bur-
lington, VT, that he would contest
the state and district delegates from
Vermont.
Notification was also received that
the Pettigrew faction in South Dakota
would contest the Johnson delegates
from that state.

many, where a tenant of the emperor
sued his landlord and won in two

this in the reign Of Frederick the

Carlyle celebrates over several pages.

Thirty Days for the "Boes''

Two hoboes, or at least vagrants,
who gave their names as Mark Will
son aud Fred Robbins were arrested
Tuesday afternoon for loafing in
railroad yards and stealing rides on
the freight trains of the Santa Fe.
The case came up in Justice of the
Peace Groome's court and the two
plead guilty to the charge. They
were sentenced to thirty days in the
Erie Jail. A. c. Blanton, special
officer of the Santa Fe signed the
complaint.
The two put off "huntin' for
work" story. They said they went
from Kansas City to Argentine,
where they understood that they
could get work on the Santa Fe if
they could only get to Chanute.
Further explanation of the affair
they did not make.
