BARN AT MYRICK
is TOTAL LOSS

As result of a fire which occurred
at midnight last night the big barn
on the julius Huddeman ranch near
Myrick station was completely de-
stroyed. The barn was valued at
S2500 and was insured for the sum of
$500. the insurance being with Ben
tley K Leffingwell.
The cause of the barns burning is
mystery. The blaze started in one
of the stalls where mules were tied
The fire had made but scant head
way when it awakened the workers
who We're sleeping in the hay loft.
Rushing down the men succeeded in
liberating 20 mules that were stabbed
within the barn. But they could make
no headway towards saving the barn
itself. A concrete tank filled with
water was nearby but in their excite.
ment the men could not find buckets
and the fire shortly reached such
proportions there was no hope of saw

father will not comply with the de-
mands of the cadet corps. The ques-
ton has been referred to Attorney

in the roll call of the Senate was the
voting of Senator Cullom. Mr.. Lorimer's
aged colleague from Illinois. Senator
CulIom had voted for Lor.mer at the

and voted against him. Three other
Senators who voted for Lorimer the
first time cast their votes against him
on this ballot. They were Curtis OF Kan

Watson of West Virginia. Senator
Jones OF Washington was the only Sen.
ator to change his vote against Lorimer
to a vote in favor Of him. The new

quarters. Whatever consideration was
employed to Introduce this paper in order

malicious premeditated faIsehood."
As Senator Dixon took his seat. Senator
Tillman of South Carolina. who since his
stroke of paralysis has been only the
shadow Of his former self, arose in his
seat. He had voted In support of Lori
mer last session. and he asked now to
submit a statement explaining his vote on
this occasion. The clerk read Senator
Tillmans statement, amid an impressive
silence
TiIlman Vote Unchanged.
II find nothing In the socalled newly
discovered evidence" said the Tillman
statement. ito justify change in my at
titude, and ! shall still give Senator
Lorimer the benefit of the doubt. and
vote against the resolution"
Senator Tillman in his statement said
that he had no doubt that there was cor
ruption at Springfield. He paid a high
compliment to the city of Boston. when
he said that no large city. except the
Massachusetts capital has escaped the
boodlers. He attributed New England's
exemption from corruption in politics TO
the large size of the State Legislature
The old Tillman OF the Pitchfork Ben days
shone out in this sentence. read by the
clerk:
1T is much easier by the use Of money
or other corrupt instrumentalities. TO de-
bauch a small legislature than a large
one: and then, too, our Yankee friends,
while they always seem willing and anx-
iuos, under the forms OF the law, 10 put
their hands In other mems pockets, are
always very careful to guard their own"
An Impressive Incident.
Then occurred one of the most i'm
pressive incidents OF the day. As the
clerk read the following paragraph from
the Tillman statement. all eyes in the
Senate turned toward the South Carolina
Senator.
"Since I was stricken with paralysis
thirty months ago l have thought often
and seriously about death and the here
after. That ! am here at all Is in some
respects a miracle. and | know ! must
go hence and meet the Great Judge face
to face very soon. Knowing that, 1 can
not do otherwise than vote as my con-
science dictates, and | believe this man
is innocent OF the charges brought
against him
AS the clerk read these sentences, Sem
ator Tillman himself was overcome with
emotion.
IF he be driven from the Senate"
the Tillman statement added, as seems
probable now, ] hope he will conse-
crate his life and great talents to the
publication of politics in his native
city and the uplift of his fellow-citi-
zens IN Illinois to the realization of
their duty and danger. But whether
he is expelled or not. he ought to do
this, and l believe II he does brovely
fight for purer and better govern
ment in Illinois. God will strengthen
his arm. and he will return TO the Sen
ate. indicated by the people OF that

Integrity Not Questioned.

1T has been said by some Senators
that not even Lorimer's worst enemies
have questioned his integrity or chal-
lenged his honesty. They have said that
ms WORD was as goou as his bond, and
he never has turned down a friend. that
always he has been consistent, right or
wrong. / ask nothing for that except

tors when they are making up their judg-

The Ousting Resolution.

The question is now on the adop-
ton of the resolution" said Senator
Gallinger, who was in the Vice Presi-
dents chair. The clerk will read the
resolution"
ing resolution. which had been intro
duced by Senator Lea:
Resolved. That corrupt methods and
practices were employed in the election
of William Lorimer to the Senate of the
United States from the State Of Illinois.
and that his election Is therefore in
valid"
There was never any doubt from the
beginning of the vote that Lorimer would
be ousted. The Illinois Senator himself
was reconciled to the fact that he was
speaking in vain. and that may account
for the apparent indifference with which
he listened TO the drOning of the roll
call.
The clerk had hardly announced the
totals when Senator Lorimer arose slow
ly from his seat and, with every eye in
the chamber conferred upon him
walked firmly and with his familiar
swing toward the door OF the Republican
lounging room.
Not a soul stirred in the chamber until
Lorimer had reached the door. then Sem
ator Smoot stepped forward quickly and
threw his arm over the Senator's shoulder.
A second later other Senators who had
voted for him rushed to his side. The
Illinois Senator smiled pleasantly as he
shook the hand Of each. and then he dis
appeared into the cloak room.
That was Lorimer's formal exit from the
Senate. He did not return to the cham
