SUNDAY AFTERNOON BLAZE
Stable On Pearl Street Burned
Town Water System Demon-
strates Its Value.

A dangerous fire occurred Sunday
afternoon in this town, when the
stable and shedding on Pearl street,
belonging to B. F. Slater, who oper-
ated a sawmill near town for several
months, was badly damaged by fire
of unknown origin. The blaze was
discovered about three o'clock by
B. P. Nichols, who gave the alarm
w. S. Nields and William Weir were
the first to respond to the cry of
"Fire!" and ran to get the hose reel
and chemical tanks out. Others
soon assembled and willing hands
assisted in the coupling up of the
hose and attaching to nearby
hydrants, and two good streams of
water were soon playing upon the
flames, which by that time had as
sumed serious proportions, the entire
interior of the frame structure being
in blaze.
The close proximity of the dwell
ling occupied by Chas. Ferguson,
olnOoI esuJolHlHS Iuo UuI LILLE, uulAu-
ing, and the row of dwellings,, across
the street directly opposite, made the
blaze a dangerous one, but the town
water system proved its worth as a
fire protection, the two streams that
were played upon the fire not only
preventing it's spread but soon ex-
tinguishing it. completely, leaving the
charred framework standing, the
western end of structure only being
practically destroyed, although the
entire stable was badly damaged.
The stable had not been in use
for some weeks past, since Mr.
Slater had moved his saw-mill plant
from near town to timber tract in
Hartford county.

conclusion that the Republican party has about
melted away and run into the Democratic party It
certainly has been an aweinspiring political meta.

sonality, it makes sorrowful procession, indeed.

Asbury Parsons, Of Mason county, formerly of
Jackson, man of property, who eschewed Democ.
racy in 1896 because he got frightened at the free
silver and was afraid the value of his holdings
would be reduced fifty per cent, turned first to be
Q gold Democrat; then Republican. Before he
got his new political seat fairly warmed, he began
to yearn for the judgeship of his circuit and the
Republicans were charitable but foolish enough to
