Before it | was noticed the flames had destroyed | all the centra! corridors, making it a perilous matter for the cadets to escape. Many of the boys were compelled | to jump from the third story of the building and there are quite ® num-| ber burt seriously, but it is very doubtful if more than one will fail to recover. H. T. Guernsey, Independence, Kas., is the worst injured of the ca dets His whole face, chest and back are one solid mass of burns and he is badly bruised. Many were the young heroes who proved last night what they were made of. Among these deserving especial mention was Cadet Clopton, son of the well known United States District Attorney, who had the pres- ence of mind to seize his bugle and blow the fire call, even though his room was then ablaze. Cadet W. W. Austin of Carrollton also will havo the life-long gratitude of a number of his fellow school- mates for aiding their escape from the holocaust. But the two who probably did more than all others to save life were Capt. Glasscock, an instructor in the academy from Paris, Mo., and Lieut. George Goed, the United States Army officer detailed there. Capt. Glasscock, though badly injured, ran | from room to room and literally | dragged out the boys. | Lieut. Good picked up Capt. Rolla | McIntyre, who had iost conscious- ness from suffocation, and sprang from a third story window with him clasped in his arms. Strange to re- late both escaped uninjured. McIntyre is all right except for a soreness of the throat and lungs from inhaling the smoke and gas. The cadets are scattered over the city, some at the hotels and others at private houses. The citizens have thrown their | homes open. All attention, both medical and otherwise, is being ad- ministered. Many of the boys lost their all in the fire, and will return to their re- | spective homes minus watches, bi- | cycles and their extra wardrobe. How the fire started isa profound _ taystery. It had gained such a start When discovered that the fire com- pany was unable to accomplish any- thing. Oaly a.portion of the brick walls are left to tell the story of the beau- tifal and prooperous institution, which Col. A F. Fleet had labored so hird to build up. This term Promised to be the most successful since the panic of 1893. The cadets had just gotten down to business. Col. Fleet is almost heart broken. With tears in his eyes he said: “It is impossible to say whether the Academy will ever be rebuilt. | “The loss is probably between $80,000 and $90,000 and the insur- | ance is only a little over $37,000. © “More cadets would likely have | been more injured if it had not been for military discipline.” _ Itis hardly expeete institution will be rebuilt. | d here that the | | If the hair has been made to grow anatural color on bald heads in | - thousands of cases, by using Hall’s Hair Renewer, why will it not in Your case? | together like “dumb, driven cattle,” | the roads from all parts of the coun PAYS THE MEN TO GO. Mark Hanna Works up Bogus Enthusi asm For McKinley. Free Rides and Expenses for Delega- tions to Canton—How the Scheme is Worked. Chicago, Ill, Sept. 19 —No cone thing is being worked barder for McKinley and the gold standard than is the free transportation dodge. Hundreds of railroad men, herded are packed into cars and rushed over try, free of expense, to the-home of the Canton Sphinx, there to bow down at the shrine of the golden calf. Not only are these railroad em ployees given free trausportation, but they are paid full salaries during the trips they take. For all this, they are expected to vote as they are told. Probably the largest excursion which will pull into Canton this fall left Chicago to night. It will reach the home of the republican presi- dential candidate at 8 o'clock to- morrow morning.

Almost every day similar excursions ieave this and other cities. The men go because they think it wise to do so. Besides, it makes a pleasant trip and costs nothing. All the power of the roads is being brought to bear to elect McKinley, and no means to that end are too unscrupulous to be used. We expected some of them to go; we knew some of our generals would go. But we know that battles are won by the fighting of private soldiers more than by the fighting of generals. We were will- ing to draw up our army on the ove side and let our opponents draw theits up on the other, and then we were willing to give them all our gencrala if they gave us all their soldiers.

Sept. 24.—At a! in his state, he says: meeting of the Veteran Soldiers’ Bryan Club of Lincoln, with a mem- bersbip of 105, the following resolu- tion was adopted: Reeolved, That while we respect our eld comrades nnd commanders, Generals Sigel, Sickels and others for their courage and valor, we do not recognize their authority or wisdom in their attempt to control or direct the votes of those who marched in the’ ranke; whose equal valor and courage placed the wreaths of laurela upon the brows of their commanders. We believe that as citizens we are compelied to decide “Bryan and free silver will carry Towa by 80 to 90 thousand. In the town of Shenandoah there is a club of 56 free silver republicans. They don’t allow any populists or demo- crats to hold membership in tho club, it is made up entirely of free silver republieans. At Riverton and in fact in nearly every town in the state it is the same way. The repub- licans generally are for Bryan and free silver and their best stump speakers are stumping tho etate for free silver.” CASTORIA,. sini! is ca ye | 6 every for ourselves. Further, that we are iceatare , “td A more foval to the old flag than are} gid cel Natiood ak A After the election in 1892, the leading Republican organ in Mie- souri, the St. Louis Globe Democrat delivered itself as follower: ‘The Republican party was beaten be- cause it had taken the wrong posi- tion on some of the leading questions of National concern. It was wrong on the Federal election matter; it was emphatically and fatally wrong on the tariff. The passage of the McKinley law in 1890 was the great- est blunder committed by any party since the Democratic crime of seces- sion. This thing called McKinley- ism—-this advance of duties on arti- cles which have been on the dutiable list from the third of a century— have been condemned finally and eternally by the people. If the Re- publican party is to win any victo- ries in the future it must drop Mec- Kinleyism immediately and permane ently, and send all the men who cling to it to the rear.” It is in or- der for the Globe Democrat to ex cuse itself for this sentiment by declaring the man who wrote it died in the insane asylum. those who consent tothe control by foreign nations of our policy. financial The Time to Subscribe. | The old newspaper saying, ‘now is the time to subscribe,” was Levis) more true than at present.
