HOTEL BURNS
BUILDING AT MADISON PASS DE
STROYED WEDNESDAY-IN-
SURANCE IL $1,000.

Loss of well over $4,000 was
caused last Wednesday evening,
when the summe hotel at Madison
Pass was totally destroyed. The
cause of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Williams, who oper-
ated the hotel during the summer.
were living in the hotel. They had
gone. shortly before nightfall. to a
neighbor's for eggs. While at the
neighbor's house, they discerned a
blaze in the direction of the hotel,
but we're unaware il was the hotel.
The building was frame, one story
and basement, 30x5c feet. Both the
building and contents were a total
loss.
Word of the fire was brought to
the city today by Fred 1.-THE, jr., who
lives in the neighborhood. Mr.. Uthe
said that farmers for a considerable
distance and residents of Cotton and
Chester went to lend assistance. The
building was insured for $4,000.
On the same night, the little de-
pot at the chautauqua spur was burn
ed. 1t is thought probable that the
depot fire was set by tramps. A hun
dred dollars or so would cover the
loss

S. S. MISSIONARIES
CONFERENCE IN MADISON FIN
ISHED LAST NIGHT.

The conference of Sunday school
missionaries closed their conference
in Madison last night.
In the discussion of gospel team
work, it was demonstrated how lay
men in various walks of life may be
a mighty power in extending the
Masters kingdom among sin cursed
men.
Among items of business attended
to, one of the most important was
the unanimous vote to continue the
missionaries missionary. There are
about forty missionaries in the dis
trict and they, by their freewill sub
scriptions are providing the major
portion of the salary of n mission
airy.
Last night the Iowa men discussed
the need for rural evangelization in
Iowa. One missionary told of visit
ing a community of thirty families
and finding twenty-seven of them
without Bibles, all of which he sup
piled. Another told of bringing into
Sunday school a man of forty-eighi
who had never been in Sunday
school.
At the close of the evening serv-
ice, the missionaries assembled in the
smaller room for their farewell serv-
ice. The superintendent presented a
purse to Rev. II. j. Wesseling and
his faithful wife, as a partial express
sion of the feeling of appreciation
that was in the hearts of all the mis-
sionaries for the untiring efforts OF
our Madison missionaries to minister
to every need that would make the
visiting missionaries and their wives
more comfortable and happy. Then
as Is the custom, the missionaries anc
visitors formed a circle around thu
room and with joined hands ane
warm hearts, sang "Blest Be the Til

Fire of unknown origin this after
noon destroyed the old pesthouse,
north of the fair grounds track. The
building was a frame structure and
was little more than a shell. The
fire department was called to the
blaze at about 2 o'clock. There is
no city water service in the vicinity
and the building was in ruins in a
few minutes after the fire alarm was
sent in.
Christ Tischhauser. of this city,
who is looking after farm interests
near Yale, this state, had his suitcase
stolen from a wagon on the streets
of Yale a day or two ago. In addi-
ton to a memorandum book contain
ing a cashiers check for $400, the
value of the contents of the suitcase
was about S25. Mr.. T~ischhauser. at
once proceeded TO stop payment on
the cashiers check. In writing The
Daily Leader of the theft Mr.. Tisch-
hauser says: "A careless young man
who should bring lumber for me, in
stead of leaving my suitcase in a
place of safety until he was ready TO
go home, placed it in his wagon and
then went into the hell hole saloon.
When he returned the suitcase had
been stolen"

.3OO,OOO ENTHUSIASTIC
 SOUTHERNERS EXPEC'D
Committee Business of Birming-
 ham Giving Close Attention Parade Details-Believed Pa rade Records Will be Smashed

Birmingham, Ala, May 5.-When the remnant of the gallant Confeder- ate army marches in review before General Bennett Young and his staff at the reunion May IT, Is and 19, it is expected that 300,000 enthusiastic Southerners will join in the applause For this giant number of persons is expected to watch the Veterans as they are conveyed through the streets during the reunion. When the reunion was held in Birmingham in 1908 the parade was cheered by 100000 on- lockers. Inasmuch as the indications point to greater number of veterans being present, and inasmuch as great CT interest is being indicated in other ways, it is assumed that conserva- tive estimate for observers is 100000.
 The committee of business men in charge of the plans for the reunion are giving close attention to the parade details. The parade is always great feature at reunions and the march at the forthcoming reunion is expected to be no exception. On the other hand it is confidently believed that all par ade records will be smashed this year.
 It is contemplated that all Veterans will be provided with seats on auto mobile trucks or in automobiles thus eXempting the heroes from the fatigue incident to long march. The com mittee has taken up the matter of transportation with enthusiasm and it is believed that provisions will be made for every Veteran to ride during the parade.
