the next session of the state legisla.
ture would pass some enactment which
would define a freeho!der in express
terms.
Ny law was based upon the fact
that no statutory definition had rece.
wed recognition. 4 freeholder was
regarded from a hundred differen,
angles. My enactment a suggested
us the remedy for the abuses that have
been made of the law providing for
the circulating Of a petition on the
saloon question. This same question
has been fought out in the courts OF
other counties in the state and thons-
ands of dollars have been spent IN try
ing to define a freeholder.

representative in the state legislature
and | tried to represent the best inter

term. Knowing that can accomplish
greater good with the experience
afforded last year. | am nov a
candidate for reelection. Your
SUPPORTS respectfully solicited.
Mr.. Birch is a straight forward
sort OF y man, and if there is no other
reason for opposition to him he
should be reelected and given the
usual second term.

The minority candidate for

has been the one great check on
state extravaganza, and his cleo
ton will put an end to many OF
the small leaks that have been a
drain on the public treasury for
some time A good turning over
of affairs at Pierre will prove a
public benefit. and if the minori-

they will be in duty bound to in
augurate an administration OF
economy in state affairs that will
prove highly acceptable to the
people of the state.
In county aud local matters
the question of political or fac
tional affil,ation does not and
should not enter, as the voters
are generally well acquainted
with the candidates for county
and Legislative Offices, and their
votes will be given largely on
this personal acquaintance and

Flames Sweep Through
Lumber Yard, II DWELL
ings and Cigar Factory,
Entailing Big Loss.

READING. Pa, Nov. s.-A spectacu-
lar fre that had destroyed a lumber
yard, lS dwelling houses, a three-story
junk shop and part of the big six-story
Yocum cigar factory here by l o'clock
was still burning at that hour and was
defying efforts of the city's entire fire
department. The damage at that hour
was estimated as we'll above $4,000
One fireman was hurt while the blaze
was at it's height in the cigar factory
when the roof and part of the fifth floor
ceiling collapsed. Dozens of his fellows
in the building jumped aside just in time
to avoid being crushed. He was hurried
to hospital and is expected to recover.
A fire wall IN the factory prevented its
complete destruction. This kept the blaze
from spreading to the front part of tho
big factory.
A large storshouse and numerous dwell
ings and small stores are in the path OF
the flames and flremen are doing every
thing in their power 10 prevent them from
ignitinB Every engine company in the
city responded 10 the general alarm
turned in shortly after the blaze was
discovered.
The hre started a few minutes before
II o'clock in the Lubn Hoffa lumber yard
at Poplar and South Walnut streets, This
yard lies directly along the Philadelphia
and Reading Railway tracks, and 1t Is
thought that the blaze may have been
started by a spark from an engine.
Within ten minutes the entire yard was
ablaze and the flames were sweeping over
a row of seven dwellings on Poplar street
and six others on Walnut street Be
fore the fiTemen arrived these houses were
ablaze.
The cigar factory OF Yoeum Brothers.
taking up half a city block, was ignited
next. Nearly 1000 women employed In the
place marched calmly 10 safely when
officials saw that the place could not es-
cane and sounded the signals for the fire
drill No one was injured ana there was
not the slightest sign Of panic.
Residents OF the Is dwellings virtually
destroyed had no time TO save any OF
their household effects. The firemen con-
centrated their efforts on the big cigar
factory. but at / o'clock the fire was still
eating steadily into the place from the
rear. Every floor was ablaze. The in
tense heat prevented the hre fighters
from entering the building
Showers OF blaz' ambers fell on
dwellings ana other b. ldings, including
a big warehouse, for distance of sew
eral blocks. HougehOlders organized
bucket brlgadss and threw water on the
housetops 10 prevent the flames from
spreading.
An enormous crowd gathered to witness

Of the most rapid they had ever seen.
Less than an hour after It's start the
