Fire Rapidity Sweeps Through the Great Structure. St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 15.—St. Joseph's New Era exposition was destroyed by fire to-night, and over one quarter of a million dollars is now represented by a mass of smoul- dering ruins and aheap of ashes— , while Capt. Foster, connected with the cereal department, is thou ght to have lost his life. At 10:30 to-night, just as the evening's entertainment in the am- pitheater had closed, and while yet 5,000 people were in the buildings and scattered throughout the grounds, smoke was discovered is- suing from the art hall and before it could be realized the entire col- lection of building immediately ad- jacent to the main hall wasin flames. m the time the first spark was fen until the fire had worked its will, the local fire department and that of the city, were powerless to , Tetard its progress. Constructed of the most inflam- mable material and filled with exhib- its equally susceptible to fire, art = main hall burned like tin- The origin of the flames is sup- Posed to have been a defective elec- Wire connecting art hall with the main building. For over an hour the flames were fought, but efforts proving futile to Save the two principal buildings | Work was directed to prevent them Spreading. A Deadly Fight. i Ft.

Wheat is about over. The general health of our people is good and all are looking forward to prosperous times. A. 8. Kemper, our road overseer, is making us some splendid roads. John Schellman, of Appleton City was among us Thursday and Fri- day. Mrs. Fagan, of Kansas City, is visiting her many friends in this city. The Misses Ella Talbert, Minnie Kemper and Messrs L. C. Wasson and W. H. Summy will spend a few days at the Nevada fair this week. Our school will begin next Mon- day with B. H. Meglassin as teacher and we think he will need an assis- tant, as all the large girls expect to attend his school. The people of our quiet little city were aroused from their slumber at a late hour Saturday night by the Valley Farm band boys who gave us some excellent music. Boys we are glad to greet you, come again. All enjoyed themselves at J. F. Summy’s croquet party Saturday Robert Smaiis, collector of cus- toms at Beaufort, S. C., was convict- | ed b a jury couposed partly of men of his wa racy of accepting bribes and sentenced to two years in the | peuitentin:y. Francis E. Warren, appointed governor, wade a false affidavit of residence in order to take up a quarter section of valuable land. A North Carolina negro, ap- pointed postmaster by Mr. Wana- maker, was found in the penitentia- ry when the notification of his ap- pointment reachedhim. Thomas J. Morgan, Indian commissioner, was convicted by a court martial of mak- jing false musters and other offenses, S.C. Burdette, assistant district attorney in West Virginia, is under indictment for embezzlement. E. H. Moore, distributing clerk in the Indianapolis postofiice, was arrested and fined for keepmg a gambling house A.S. Ray, deputy United States marshal in West Virginia, was prosecuted for bribery. Henry E. Sharpe, postmaster at Lead Hill, | Ark, was convicted of sending ob- scene letters through the mails. Shushan, N. Y., was prosecuted for feloniously entering a house for the purpose of assulting a young la- dy. He confessed and paid the lady $500 by which means he succeeded in having the prosecution abandon- ed, he also signing a full confession. Other cases of similar nature are cited, but the Times will stop with |these. They are sufficiently distribut- ed over the states to expose the views jally the two men broke away and Gilbert H.

KILLED WITH A PITCH-FORK. | Milwaukee, Wis., Sept. 13.—News Kinney, living in the town of Somers | Kinney found two men hiding in his , They refused to go and,although unarmed | he attempted to forcibly eject them. | A desperate fight followed, in which one of the tramps used a knife, bad- ly slashing Kinney’s face and inflict- ing two bad cuts on hisarm. Fin- fled. Kinney seized a pitchfork and pursued them, overtaking the man who used the knife. Another{strug- gle occurred, during which Kinney thrust the tines of the fork through his antagonist. The tramp fell and Kinney then plunged the fork tines into him again and again. The | tramp cannot live. No arrests have yet been made. High Licease in Lowa. Sioux City, Ia. Sept. 14—The democrats of Woodbury county met at the court house this afternon at 2 o'clock for the the purpose of se- lec ting delegates to the State con- ven tion, which meets in this city next Wednesday. The delegates were instructed to use their best en- deavors to have a high license and local option plank inserted in the the party throughout the state. of the present administration on civ jl service reform. No one state sup- plies all. There is no chance about the cases. The appointees are friends of prominent republicans and were selected with knowledge of their records. The republican party never has cared much about personal fitness. When it wins the result is not due tothe candid approval of public opinion but to the dirty work of its henchmen added to the money of the privileged classes. The rewards of office are given to agents of the lobbying classes like Wanamaker and the workers like those mention- ed in the Courier-Journal’s list. Penitentiary birds in office, the Pennsylvania lobby all powerful, | the treasury surplus scattered and | the people paying taxes. That is what six months of republican pow- er has made of the country’s govern- ment. | The Madison Wells, Eliza Pink- ston and Belknap era is on the way. Whether Mr. Harrison is a good or bad man personally does not retard its coming. The horde of republi- can politicians, edept in trading privileges for money and in cooking jobs on the treasury, can not be evening. Misses Minnie Kemper, | suppressed.
