STUBBORN FIRE TODAY
Conflagration in Building Occupied
by The Alexandria Coffee
Company

Fire broke out a few minutes be-
fore 10 o'clock this morning in the
building at 800 Prince street occu-
pied by the Alexandria Coffee Com
pany, and in short while the en-
tire third floor, where the flames
had been discovered, was wrapped
in flames, and smoke was issuing
form the windows in large volumes.
The fire was discovered by an en-
ployee of the firm who had started
up the elevator used to transport the
coffee and peanuts, articles in which
the concern deals, from one floor to
the other. Just before reaching the
third floor he sighted the flames and
started the elevator down to the
ground floor again, where he hur.
riedly notified the others there, and
a bystander, who had started to
walk into the building on business,
turned in the alarm few doors west
at the Rlief truck house. Immedi-
ately the fire bells began to clang
and the fire-fghting apparatus was
soon on the scene.
After about twenty minutes work
by the fire department the fire was
gotten under control and long be-
fore eleven o'clock the confagration
was practically sudued. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by an
detectives electrice wiring, which
caused wire to sputter and ignite
inflamable material.
1t is not known howe the started,
but it is suspected that blaze broke
out in piles of cardboard and other
infamable material stored on the
topfloor, and in this way soon ignited
the room.
Flames gutted the entire third
story and the water coming through
the ceiling while the hoses We're play
ing inside the windows of the third
story poured down into the second
and first floors, irresparably damag-
ing huge stock consisting of thous-
ands of pounds of coffee and pea
nuts.
The total loss incurred will be S5,-
900 or more. Most of the damage
will consist of the running Of the
stock by water and smoke. On. the
third floor to which the fire laddies
kept the flames confined. only large
stock of peanuts was ruined. The
building and contents were insured

Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Feb. Wv. o. Payne, of this
city, has decided to become a candi-
date FOR the office Of congressman from
the Seventh district Of Iowa to succeed
Hon. c. c. Dowell, of Des Moines. He
has come to this decision after giving
the matter q great deal of considera-
ton and making a quiet but quite
thoro canvass Of the situation.
Mr.. Payne was candidate for the
republican nomination for the same Of
flee two years ago with very flattering
prospects of success until outside in
terests came into the campaign, maxi
ing it triangular fight, in which his
interests suffered and support was di-
vided. 1t is his opinion that matters
have now so adjusted themselves that
he will be able to command a stronger
recognition over the district and his
prospects for success appear to be very
favorable. -. .fer.-.
Strong at Home.
In the campaign of 1914 Mr.. Payne
came out of his own county with a
most flattering vote, it being practi-
cally unanimous in all of the precincts
and there is no reason to believe that
his support will not be loyal this year.
In Polk county, where the two opposi-
ton candidates lived, he secured prac-
tically one-f1fth of the vote and led
over either of them in the north half
Of that county. 1t was in the outside
counties where he was probably not so
well known and where the support that
he had reason to expect, was divided
by the entrance or third man into
the fight, that he was defeated.
With the confident assurance that
he will go out Of his own county with
practically unanimous support his
candidacy will be recognized over the
district as even more formidable than
was the case two years ago.
