Burned With ThermO
meter at Zero.

The brick house occupied by
Alfred YingIing, at Quarries, near
this city, was destroyed by fire at
noon on Monday. Mrs. Yingling and
her son we're at the house of Mr..
George Rickle, a neighbor, when the
fire was first discovered by some
men who turned in the alarm of fire.
She became frantic when she was
told that her home was in flames.
The fire company was notified that
the fire was on Liberty street and
hurried out the street to find that
the fire was at Mr.. Yingling's resi-
dence, nearly a mile away. The
apparatus was left behind while the
firemen proceeded to the fire with
the thermometer near zero.
On their arrival the floors in the
kitchen and dining rooms were all
burning fiercely and nothing could
be saved but about three bushels of
potatoes in the cellar. The suppo-
sition is that the fire started in the
kitchen from an overheated stove.
The house is owned by Mr.. George
w. Albaugh and is insured. Mr..
Yingling has not one penny Of in
surance on his personal effects.

Address by Gov. J. Frank Hanly.

On Tuesday evening Hon. J. Frank
Hanly, formerly governor Of Indiana,
delivered a patriotic temperance ad-
dress in Centenary Methodist Episco-
pal church, this city, which greatly
pleased those present.
Governor Hanly is known to be
statesman of ability and an orator OF
erSuaSive and convincing power. The
audience was not as large as the rep
utation of the speaker JuSt1hed owing
to the Wintry weather put those pres
ent were we'll repaid.
Governor Hanly took the position
that the real thing at issue in the
world war is two antagOnistlc ideals
of government. One that the state is
an institution intrusted to men who
rule by divine right, and not by the
consent of the governed That the
individual is a subject and not cltl-
zen. The other ideal of government
regards the State as an institution Oh
and for and by the people. That the
State rules not with regard to its own
will, but with regard to the 1nallen-
able rights of those ruled That the
individual is a citizen and not SUB
ject.
Autocracy and democracy stand

death. While autocracy is our foe
without, the liquor traffic destroying
our sources of strength in men and
means, becomes our enemy within
destroying by distillation 21O million
bushels of grain yearly. Congress
was obliged to suppress this waste
And yet the power of the traffic is
such that while all agree that it lends
no strength to any arm of the nation
power it is indulged in time OF stress
above others While we are asked
to deny sugar to our children it is not
denied to the brewing industry; while
TRANSPORTATION is so congested fire
sides and lawful industries are denied
coal, the liquor traffic has coal anc
TRANSPORTATION for it's products. Nhlle
shipping is the crying need OF oul
allies and ourselves Great Britain anc
the United States used last year two
million tons of shipping for the drnF
interests and thereby gave comtor
and aid to our enemies. This is II
fact, if not in intention, treason.
At the close of the address the en-
tire audience rose as an expression O
their desire to have Governor Hanl1
assure the Speaker of the House O
Representative of their hearty ap
Droval of the submission of the Con
stitutional amendment to be voted OF
