The clang ef the big fire bell Tuesday evening brought the fire company out on the double quiek and at least 500 hundred people fol- lowed the hose carts as they thun- dered down Mechanic street to the residence of Uncle Ben Scott. The fire had started in the kitchen from the cook stove and was extinguished by neighbors by the time the fire company arrived. The damage was slight Fire at Papinville, Sunday morn- ing, destroyed the Ogle house, a two story frame building used asa hotel and run by Mrs. Ogle; also a frame building adjoining used as a general store or ware house by a number of people. In this building Wo. Hollingsworth lost 25 bushels of potatoes. The hotel and contents were a total loss with the exception of a couple of trunks and a small amount of bedding. The building and contents were insured for $800. John Hannah, a farmer living west of town, had a narrow escape at the depot Tuesday evening. Two freight engines headed in opposite directions were shifting cars and in attempting to drive across the track just as his horses had cleared the rails, unobserved by standing freight cars, one of the engines plunged into his wagon and made kindling wood of it in an instant.

As he dashed | around the equare at full tilt, at the southeast corner of the square, in making the turn to go down South Main street he came in contact with Dola Cobb's wagon and the horse was completely upset in the road. The legs of the animal were skinned | somewhat and the cart was slightly | | damaged. We see from the Review that Wm Siggins and family, while returning from Rich Hi!l Saturday in their carriage, where they had been shop. | ping met with quite a serious acci- | dent on the road home. One of the horses hitched to the vehicle was a colt and this animal became fright ened at a dog in the road and in kicking at it, broke the tongue of the carriage. This frightened the team and they ran off. Ina short distance the end of the boken tongue stuck in the ground and oyerturned the carriage, throwing the occupants violently to the ground. In the fall Mr. Siggins’ left arm was bruken in two places Mrs. Siggins and her mother and the babv,17 months old, were badly bruised. A. S. Millhorn, real estate agent, reports the sale of ten acres of land off the Humphry farm just south of the city to a Mr. Porter, of Nodaway county, Mo The price paid was $110 per acre. Mr. Porter bought this land for the purpose of building a handsome suburban residence, and as soon as the deeds passed put men may at once begin the erection of | his house.

Ina political way he said the prospects for the success of the | democratic party was very bright.

Griffith, of Spruce township, called at the Tistes office, Tuesday, jand requested us to state that the report circulated in his neighbor- | hood and being peddled about the township, to the effect that J. N. Ballard, candidate for the State Sen- ate on the democratic ticket, had swindled him (Griffith) out of his present corn crop by buying the same by false representation as to the price of corn, was without the shadow of truth, and there was no foundation for the report. He stated he had bad no transaction with Judge Ballard whatever, relating to corn or any ether deal. Had not spoken to him in regard to selling his corn and had sold no corn to Judge Ballard. Said Mr. Griffith, “I live on Judge Ballard’s farm but sub rent from my son in-law, who rented the place of | the owner. The dastardly report put | in circulation is by designing parties, who desire to injure the Judge po- litically. I make this correction in justiee and fairness to Judge Ballard, whom I shall heartily support for | the effice for which he is a candi date.” FOR SALE “Cowley House” a first class at Butler, Mo., will be sold at once at reasonable figures.

The returus show the populist vote to be much smaller ' than two years ago, the third party yoters having returned to the demo- cratic party.
