Fireman We're
Called Out

On Tuesday at about $50 o.
clock, the fireman was called to
the Roy Chappell residence
where the garage was on fire.
Mr.. Chappell had arrived home
from a trip in the country with
his car and on account of the
deep mud he was compelled to
run on low speed most of the
way and it seems that in addition
the water circulation was very
poor, which must have over
heated the motor. AS Mrs.
Chappell was getting out of the
car she stated that it must be
about on fire as the heat was
strong and the air had a scent as
of burning wood. Roy ran the
car in the garage and then lifted
up the foot boards when the
flames burst forth, and Mr..
Chappell picked up an extra tire
and a tarp and made a hasty re-
treat as there was considerable
gasoline in the shed.
About the time he got out the
garage burst in flames and the
firemen rushed to the scene on
schedule time. In a few mom-
ents the fire engine was gotten
into action and the fire was put
out and the barn which was only
a few feet away from the garage
was saved. After the fire it was
discovered that the car and con-
tents was total loss. as the
gasoline had burned and taken
everything in its path,
Mr.. Chappell had $1,000 insur-
ance on the Cadillac car and 5000
on the tools and garage, so his
loss can only be estimated at a
few hundred dollars. He was
certainly lucky to get into the
open before the gasoline explod-
ed. The fremen are to be COM
plimented upon their heroic ef-
forts in extinguishing the fire so
rapidly and also in saving the
barn.

Another Wibaux
Business Change

On last Saturday another busi-
ness change took place in our
little city, when Pat Burke, who
just about two months ago pur-
chased the Geo. Burkholder sa-
loon, sold the same to Bert Mel
son and Hans Cowee, who took
the business over the same day.
Mr.. Nelson has made this city
his home during the past seven
years and has at various times
been connected with several of
our business places, having just
this spring disposed Of his in
terests in what was known as
the Pickering Bar. He is a
young man of good habits and
will, without a doubt make
success Of his newly acquired
purchase.
Mr.. Cowee, was until recently
one Of our progressive farmers,
and only a few months ago pur-
chased an interest in the Bar
gain Store. Mr.. Cowee is we'll
known to our people having re-
sided in these parts during the
past six years.
The new firm will be known as
Nelson and Cowee and the Pio-
neer wishes the boys success.
Mr.. Burke has not decided as
to what will do just yet but his
intentions are that he will make
Wibaux his home for some time
to come.

OALDERHEAD's FINE RECORD
Hon. w. A. Calderhead has spent
part OF the week in Dickinson coun-
ty and the reception he has received
has been a most cordial one. The
people OF the county and district re-
call HIS splendid service in congress
and as they compare Il with the
present conditions are anxious to
return him as their representative.
Mr.. Caidsrhsad came 20 Kansas
40 years ago and has spent his life
since that time amongst the people
of Kansas. He located In Marysville
IN Marshall county in this district,
25 years ago and has resided there
ever since that time. He was first
elected TO congress in 1894 upon
making the we'll known campaign
for the gold standard. He was de-
feated in 1895 by the small major
ity OF 900; he was reelected In
1898 and every term after that I'M
I'll he had served II years. He has
been out Of congress now four years
but has kept himself familiar with
all the work of congress during
that time. During the time Of bis
service in congress he was IA years
on the invalid pensions committee
and was chairman Of the sub-com-
mittee which had charge of all the
special pension cases for the terri
tory west OF the Missouri river and
north OF Texas. He took part in
framing all the pension laws that
we're passed during his time; also
he was ten years a member Of the
and currency committee
and made the original motion which
finally became a law, authorizing
national banks of $25,000.00 capt.
tai; under this law more than 1900
CT these small banks have been es-
tablIshed in the interior of the
He took part in the prep
aration of the revision of the ma
tional banking laws which finally
resulted in the currency legislation,
which has been passed during this
He was four years on the
ways and means committee which
revised the tariss and was on the
conference committee which finally
agreed upon the Payne-Aldrich bill.
He opposed the presidents measure
for the Canadian reciprocity bill
and voted against 1t. He was placed
on the conference committee as the
of the agricultural
interests of the west and assisted in
the protective tariff
upon all agricultural products,
which tariff has now been taken off
by the present congress.
Every vote that he cast was for
the protection of all the interests
Of this great agricultural district.
He voted for all the legislation
which passed during his, term, CIV
lug the interstate commerce COM
mission increased power over the
railroads and for every law to as
list the commission and the attor-
ley general in enforcing the Sher-
nan antitrust act
He had the confidence and the
aspect of all the members Of con-
y7ess with whom he served and the
tate of Kansas never had higher
ank in the house than during his
ime.
And that is a record Of which to
&c proud and marks him as the
andidate most fit to represent the
fifth district in congress.

THE BALL MEN PLAN
AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN

That the time has arrived To begin
an aggressive campaign in Ellis
county for Col. Thos. H. Ball for
governor was the decision at a con-
terence of the Houston man friends
at the court house Monday night.
The conference was we'll attended
and several matters pertaining to
the proposed campaign were dis
cussed. A spirit of optimism pre-
vailed and those who are in touch
with the situation say that while the
county will undoubtedly go for Mr..
Bah it is desired to give him as
large majority as possible. Just
when the local campaign is to begin
has not been decided upon, out il
viii probably be in about two weeks,
i being the opinion of the com
mittee that the farmers should have
chance to catch up with their
work before attempting to have any
meetings throughout the county.
Hon. Cullen +. Thomas of Dallas
will speak in Waxahachie Saturday
afternoon at O'Clock in the interest
of Mr.. Balls candidacy, and follow
ing that address plans will be per
teeted for inaugurating the county
campaign,
