SUPERIOR MILL AND
LIGHT PLANT BURN
Fire Which Starts from 0verheated
Bearing Causes Loss of Hun
dred Thousand.
SMALL HOUSES ALSO DESTROYED

SUPERIOR, Neb., March 23.-
Especial Telegram Fire, which
broke out in the flour mill of the
Superior Milling company here to-
day, destroyed this building, the
mill and elevator of the Superior
Corn Products company and the
local electric light plant before it
was checked. The loss is estimated
at 100000. The flames started
from an over-heated bearing.
Famed by heavy gale from the
southeast, which swept the flaming
firebrands straight toward the bust
ness center, the city was threatened
with destruction by fire for several
hours by flames which broke out
from hot boxing in the milling
plant owned by David Guthrie and
operated under a lease Jointly by
Ernest Meyer & Sons and the Su
perior Corn Products company.
The mill. as well as the light and power
plant Of the South Nebraska Power COM
pany, and several frame residences and
outbulldings went before the fire was
gotten under control. and for a time II

but by carefully outstanding the supply
ON hand Mayor w. s. Young and Chief
George Johnson were able to get the fire
under control after it had burned for two
hours. and it is not thought further dau-
age is imminent.
The fire is said by James charleton,
employe OF the mill. who was called from
his dinner by the alarm and was the
first person on the scene. to have started
about a shaft boxing on the second floor
OF the mill shortly after noon, but It

The buildings of the Alfalfa PRODUCTS

that the wind blew the fire directly away

The Wall Street Boom.

Wall street is having the time of its
life just at present. A boom market is
in full sway, with rising prices in prac-
tically all lines of securities, with steel
as leader, the rapid advances of which
are tending to pull the whole market
upward. A million share day, once re-
garded as the climax of stock market
activity, has become commonplace, and
yesterday two million shares changed
hands in the course of the days trans
actions. OF course, most of this business
is speculative, but it is based upon a
real valuation of the present and pros
peetive earnings of the great industrial
corporations, especially those that have
been dealing for nearly two years in
war munitions. Every sort of manufac-
turing plant capable Of turning out am
munition for war supplies has been get
ting its share of the tremendous volume
Of business that has flowed here for the
past eighteen months or more. Dor
mant plants have been brought back to
life and new plants have been estab-
lished. Naturally this 10 an ephemeral

not continue much longer. But those

who own the shares Of the big munitions
making companies are reaping their har-
vest abundantly while the demand con-
tinues. Many mining properties, too,
are affected favorably by the war con-
ditions. Copper, zinc, lead and other
metals have advanced greatly in price,
making profitable mines that before the
war were barely paying expenses or were
entirely abandoned. Stocks in these
properties are now joining in the big
boom. AS usual, the public is trailing
in on the market long after the pro-
fessional traders have taken the best of
the profits in the speculative fields. The
non professional stock buyer usually pur-
chases when the market is rising rapidly,
whereas rule that obtains among many
who are familiar with the Wall street
game is to buy when the market is down.
Those who buy on the rise seldom real
ize the profits that they anticipate.

must be cozened, and the task was com
mitted to William C. Whitney, who knew
Tammany like book, and what would
be necessary to bring the organization
into line.
Mr.. Whitney's offer, according to the
reports of that day, was that if Tam.
many would exert itself for Mr Cleve.
land in the national race the Cleveland
lies would support Tammany in the city
campaign.
Richard Croker accepted, and both
sides kept the faith pledged. Tammany
carried New York for Mr.. Cleveland, and
the Clcvelandites assisted Tammany in
its effort to secure full control of the
town.
How much both country and city lost
by the success of that combination is of
record Under the second Cleveland ad-
ministration, which Tammany had
helped to bring in, the country sank
low in adversely, while the famous
Lexow legislative investigation revealed
what New York city had suffered as the
result of the Tammany administration
which the Clevelandites had helped
bring in.
If similar combination is made this
year, and succeeds, much curiosity and
no little anxiety will be aroused as to
whether history will repeat itself in the
final result.

Furnishing the Gun Carrier.

A man was yesterday in the Police
Court sentenced to 800 days at Occoquan
for carrying concealed pistol. Which
was proper punishment for such an
ofense, for the "gun toter" is danger
GUS element But what of the state of
law which permits that man to go to
any shop and get the gun without more
than the formal speaking of name
and an address and the paying the
price? By imposing the slight restric-
tion of requiring the giving of name
and address the law virtually declares
that it is right. for any person to buy
weapon, any person at all, regard
less of state of mind or body, no matter
whether the purchaser is drunk or sober,
a person Of good character or bad.
That man who yesterday got SEN
tence of 300 days doubtless bought his
gun here in Washington, under the mild
ly permissive rule that supposedly regu-
lates pistol purchasing. Yet when he
carries it about with him he is arrested
and punished severely. Why should not
the law have made it impossible for a
man of the dangerous gun carrying char
acter to get weapon? 1t could have
done so without depriving honest, law
abiding, safe citizens from arming them
selves if they have need to do so.
A community that depends upon a
"name and address" system of pistol
regulation and concealed weapons law
is in constant danger of suffering trag-
edies. There is no guarantee of security
in either. Not until it becomes impos-
sible for a person to obtain pistol
without getting a permit to purchase
one will there be safety from murder
by this most commonly used implement
of death.
