SHORT CIRCUIT CAUSES
FIRE IN VINCENT HOME
$500 Is DONE BY FLAMES
LAST NIGHT.

Fire caused by a short circuit last
evening diI approximately $500
damage to the home and contents Of
DR.. F. w. Vincent on the corner Of
water and Thompson streets The
loss is covered by insurance.
The fire was confined almost en-
tirely to the room Of Mrs. Vincent on
the west side Of the second floor. It
was in this room that a short circuit
was caused on an old light fixture
DR.. Vincent switched off the current
and could discover no fire. An alarm
was turned in and the riremen could
not discover any fire either. About
three quarters of an hour later, short
ly after o'clock, DR.. Vincent went
up stairs and found the room a mass
Of flames. He shut the doors and was
thus able to confine the fire to the
one room. The firemen responded
again and with the use of chemicals
and very little water, extinguished
the flames.
DR. Vincent is warm in his praise of
Chief Bellinger and the other fire
men for the manner in which they
put out the flames with a minimum of
water damage. The loss to the house
will not exceed few hundred dollars
but Mrs. Vincenut lost all of her
wardrobe and beautiful table linens
Some damage was done downstairs by
the water.

SUGAR GOES UP AGAIN HERE;
FOOD PRICES HIGH ELSEWHERE

Sugar today retails in Pendleton I
for $500 sack, another advance Of
$IO5 having been directed from
This IS the highest mark reached in
this city for years, although two
years ago there was a jump during
the fruit season to $7.75.
Sugar is now quoted to the local
dealers at $40 (. O. b. and to retail
it at $500 they are selling at a closer
margin than they did before the climb
in price began. Even at the ad-
vanced prices, wholesalers will not
sell in any quantities to the retailers
and they themselves cannot buy in
any great quantities from the refin-
cries. Penland Bros, who handle the
sugar stored here by wholesale hous-
es. have been instructed TO sell only
when the orders are approved and
travelling representatives are explicit
ly notified that all their sales are
subject to confirmation. This indi-
Gates a very strong market.
Sugar has now raised S205 on the
hundred since August and, judging
from bulletins issued by the jobbers
( TO their salesmen, other jumps may
/ be expected. These bulletins outline
the situation pretty clearly A repre-
sentative Of Portland jobbing firm
was here today and exhibited his in
structions TO the local grocers. They
made it plain, positive and emphatic
/ that retailers would not be permitted

only at list prices.
The rise IN price IS attributed TO
the European war The European
continent annually produced 5000
coo tons Of sugar beets but only a
portion of 1t will be harvested this
year owing to the withdrawal Of
thousands of laborers for war duty.
England normally uses 10000 tons ol
sugar a month and most Of this is
shipped from Germany. With a
blockade in force, this supply will be
cut off and England must look to
the United states and West Indies
for her sugar. 1t is this situation
that the American refineries are an
ticipating and they have placed a
speculative price on sugar in conse-
quence.
Local dealers feel that the price
has about reached the limit now but
they do not anticipate any decline fol
at least three months. During the
past week the rise in prices and th'
prospects of additional advances ha!
resulted in extraordinary purchase!
by the consumers. They have beer
. stocking up against further increas'
in prices. one woman has bought a.
many as II sacks. The result is tha
most of the consumers will be stock
ed up for several months and tn
buying will fall off This in the end
! the dealers believe. will cause a grad
q ual reduction in the prices.

Hodges was the guest Of Lincoln coun-
ty Democrats at q banquet here last
night. Democrats from Saline. Ellis
worth. Ottawa, Russell and Cloud
counties attended the meeting. which
was probably the largest political dim
ner in the history of Lincoln county.
Every plate at the banquet table was
taken. Many women were in the
audience.
Judge Frank Doster OF Topeka,
Democratic candidate for United
States senator, and Samuel E. Bartlett
of Lincoln, Democratic candidate for
attorney general, also spoke at the
banquet. All Of the speakers defended
the record Of the national and state
administrations and and the Lincoln
county Democrats showed their en-
thusiasm in the noisy reception ac-
corded the speakers.
I'VE are proud OF the work of our adj
ministration," said Governor Hodges in
defending his record. I'm every depart
ment where we made changes, we have
put good, competent men and women IN
charge. We have, through the Repub-
lican press, been accused Of using the
spoils system. Naturally this would be
the cry from those who had been at the
public crib for 20 years and were pried
loose. In seventeen OF the cases where
we have made changes, we have placed
women in charge of some department or
some institution. Our Republican friends
WAC pose as great friends of the women
since they came into their own in Kansas

never thought of them during the years
they were in CONTROL
Then the governor told Of the work of
the women whom he had appointed.
Turning then to the work Of the state
legislature. the governor declared:
I'VE are proud of the work we are do
ing in Kansas. We are proud of the work
most progressive legislatures the state
ever had. In one short session 1t put
more progressive laws on the statute
books than did any four previous legis-
latures. Our Republican and Progressive
friends admitted conditions were bad In
Kansas. Both had an opportunity to
remedy them. Now they charge US for
the sins Of omission and commission of
their own party and promises which the
Republicans never redeemed. But the
Democrats in Kansas offer a record of
work and progress. They will go before
the people with record OF more prom
ises redeemed than any administration in
Kansas in a score Of years"
