HARVEST MOON

This Part of State.
BIG DUNKLIN TRACT
RAVAGED BY FLAMES
Farmers Fight Fire All Night TO
Save Homes No Lives
Yet Lost.

Forest fires, which are raging in the
northern part of Arkansas and at vari-
Gus points in Southern Missouri, have
sent a cloud of smoke more than one
hundred miles from the scene Of the
cOnhagratiOn.
The haze has given Cane Girardeau
a harvest moon during the psat week.
In the late afternoon the sky has
taken on an orange glow, which has
been called by many an Indian Sum-
mer sky. In reality, it has only been
the reflection of the flames of burning
leaves and trees upon the heavens.
There are 10000 acres of ground be
ing swept by the flames in Dunklin
County, according to reports from
Kennett, but no loss of life has been
reported. Quite a number of buildings
on farms have been destroyed during
the past week.
Farmers in the stricken zone are
reported to be blowing strips of
ground around their homes and farm
buildings to save them from the
flames.
The fire was first reported IN Ar
kansas three weeks ago. 1t ragged for
several day. but heavy rain quench-
ed it, according to the report The re-
cent dry weather has started it anew,
and the burning embers are said to
have been carried into Missouri, set
ting fire to the dry leaves and swamp
grass.
Wild turkey, deer and an army of
rabbits and squirrels have fled from
the fire zone, according to farmers in
Dunklin County. Several deer were
killed in Dunklin County last week
as they were attempting to cross the
county. In their flight they ran
through the outskirts of villages and
were killed.
Farmers have turned out in great
numbers in Dunklin County to fight
the flames. Reports from there say
IN several nights the farmers was
to continue the battle with
flames all night to save their homes
and livestock.
Only a heavy rain, lasting for two
Or three days, will extinguish The fire.

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. A distinct de

ceSSful.
Henry p. Davidson. J. p. Morgan's
representative. was somewhat dis
pleased at the newspaper reports o?
the bankers conference. He discredit
ed the belief that England was ready
10 abandon specie payment. He die
tated the following statement:
THE suggestion that Great Britain
may abandon the specie payment anC
demOnOtize gold is not well founded
and we did not discuss any such
proposition. We did take up, however
the question of gold importations
which are reaching such proportion.
as to be of real concern to this coun-
try.
"The nation is beginning to feel the
effect of the new and large credits Gre
ated here and based upon the gold
storage which is far in excess of our
national supply. 1t is of greater mo-
ment to us that we check this expan-
sion than to Great Britain or Franc,
that they avoid further metal ship
ments
I'VE all realize that q great indus
trial and commercial structure created
upon the foundation of an abnormal
gold supply must be unstable Witt
its return to Europe, the business
structure that was erected upon it
must inevitably fall"

Grove precinct included in the com
parison, Brinkopf defeated Hutson by
IS votes in Cape township.
Because the vote in the Brinkopf
Hutson contest was so close, political
friends of Brinkopf yesterday held out
hope that he might overcome his OPP
ponent's lead. by the return from the
absentee vote.
Harl H. Haas, chairman of the Cape
Hughes-Lamm Club, last night declar-
ed that he held little hope of any ma
terial change in the result from that
source. There are 50 absentee votes,
of which, he said, he knew that about
Is to 90 were Democratic, SO that the
vote, may increase Hutson's lead.

REXALL STRAW VOTE

Wilson Before Election
5000 Druggists POlled 951.39G Votes
Returns Covered All StateS-Local
Vote IA Big Factor

President Wilson's victory at the
polls yesterday is a striking vertical
ton of the prediction made by this
newspaper long before election day
Three weeks ago, the 5000 members
of the Rexall Druggists Association
of which F. w Buchanan is mem
ber began to take a Straw Vote of
their customers. The members of
the Association being scattered ali
over the United States, were able 10
reach 951,396 voters drawn from all
walks of life. 1t was the biggest
straw vote ever taken and was made
possible only by the national charae-
ter of the organization.
The druggists thruout the country
mailed or telegraphed the results of
the votes cast by their customers to
the national headquarters of their or
ganization in Boston. There the
votes were tabluated and the results
of the balloting from all the states
were announced by daily bulletins
mailed from Boston and which were
posted in the 5000 ReXall Stores, and
published simultaneously in the lead
| ing newspapers of the country.
The first Straw Vote bulletin, sent
out October Goth, showed Wilson in
the lead The second bulletin, is
sued October 9th. showed Hughes in
the lead by one electoral vote. From
that date each and every bulletin re-
corded steady gains for Wilson, both
in the popular and the electoral vote.
The final Straw Vote. dated Novem-
| Der 9th, gave Wilson 554 800 popular
votes against 396,896 for Hughes On
electoral vote Wilson received 299
and Hughes 232 of the 266 necessary
! to elect.
This nationwide Straw Vote deriy-
ed its value from its strictly nom
partisan character. The ReXall

preferences, furnished to the national
headquarters of their association,
The United Drug Company, accurate
figures for each days balloting in
their Stores. At the headquarters
in Boston the ballots were tabulated
without fear or favor, the sole object
being to call the turn in politics be

With the return last week of Mr.

son; Capt. Robinson is still active in
the steamship business there now.
The William Parker steamer had for
its captain, William Parker, formerly
resident of the Baptist Hill section
of Skowhegan, while the Fairy of the
Lake was nayigated by one Capt.
Louis Gill man of great strength,
who could handle barrel of -four as
easily as an ordinary man could
handle a barrel of crackers, so the
story goes. The Twilight was an

Two liquor seizure cases will be
heard before Judge Brazzell at the
Municipal Court Room at II O'Clock
this forenoon. One is for two bar

shed of the Maine Central Railroad.
The other for two barrels of ale
taken from the barn in the rear of
the store occupied by Guy Debe on
Madison Avenue.
Mrs. Gertrude S Wight, superin-

has recently appointed DR.. J. E..
Wadsworth as physician for that in
stitution. The Reformatory will ul-
timately have hospital room, in one
of its buildings, but funds are not
available to provide it at present.
The likelihood that hospital accom-
mOdations might occasionally be re-
quired made it natural that Dr.
Wadsworth should be selected, as
Somerset Hospital will have to be de-
pended on until the Reformatory is
itself provided with hospital ward.
