NeighbOrs Assist Pearl Street
Family to Rescue Furniture
From Fire.

The HON" of George Sloan at SOP
Pearl street was completely destroyed
by fire yesterday afternoon, and most
of the contents were lost.
1t is believed that the blaze orig
mated from a defective fluc, and when
discovered, had reached such proper
tiOns that all 'attempts to save it were
futile. Neighbors quickly gathered,
and while some were engaged in try
ing to check the flames, others carried
out the household belongings until the
heat became so intense that they were
compelled to abandon the undertake
ing.
No insurance was carried on the
furnishings, but the house was insur-
ed for a small amount. The. building
was owned by Mrs. William Winsitt
and her sister, Mrs. Annie Locker.
The city fire department was UNI
able to render any assistance for the
reason that the property is located
beyond the limits of the water pipes.

DIR. VIC. PATTON. TO
RUN FOR CONGRESS
Friends of Well-Kn0wn Surgeon
Groom Him For RusselPs
Opponent.

DR.. w. C. Patton, the well-known
surgeon, will be candidate for Con-
gress against Joseph J. Russell next
year, if the plans of his friends are
successful. A boom has already been
started for the popular physician, and
it is gaining momentum daily.
He was urged to make the race four
years ago, but close friends of Con-
gresham Russell induced him to keep
out Of the contest. They assured the
Cape surgeon that Russell would not
seek reelection again, He is still in
Congress, however, and has expressed
his intention to make another race, if
he did not decide to join the marathon
for the Democratic gubernatorial NOM
inatiOn.
Dr. Patton is we'll known through
out the district and has a host of
friends in both parties, although he
breaches the faith, born Of him who
sleeps at Monticello.
DR.. Patton was elected Mayor Of
Cape Girardeau several years ago
and made one Of the best executives
the city ever had. He has taken an &C
tive interest in politics for many
years, although he has never sought
political preferment. He has been one
of the most liberal contributors to the
Democratic party in this section OF
the State, and his friends believe he
would be one of the strongest men the
Democrats could nominate next year
DR.. Patton last night refused to ne
ny or confirm the report that he would
make the race. "My friends have beer
urging me to do so for long time,
but have not given it much consider
alton. There is plenty Of time left foi
me to think the matter over. l did

AS he has never been a disturber in
the party or connected with factions
he would rot have any opposition from
any part IF the State He is a close
friend OF i;cnators, Reed and Stone
and it is certain that their influence
would go to him, should he decide to
make the race.
Democratic leaders in Southeast
