The fire occurred about 9 or 10 o'clock and was discovered by a neighbor, G. M. Ballew, who re sided about a quarter of a mile dis- tant Mr. Ballew hurried to the scene but the roof of the barn falling in when he artived and noth- was ing could be done. Three good horses, a lot of harness, a buggy and about thirty five tons of tim- othy hay was consumed. The hay had just been stored in the barn and it is thought the fire was caused from spontaneous combustion. Mr. Har- shaw was at ElDorado Springs at the the time. There was $300 in- surance on the barn, about one- third its value. The hay, buggy, harness and other contents were a total loss. Getting Ready For War. London, July 15.—Fragmentary dispatchesfrom St Petersburg tell of unusual activity in the army and navy circles of Russia. The czar, ac- cording to these telegrams, has or- dered the enlistment of three hundred thousand men for the army and navy and at naval stations work is being pushed by night and day. The Rus- so-Scandinavian press agency says that the government has ordered all railways to hold themselves in readi- ness to transport troops within four hours’ notice and that war with Japan is imminent. Russia Is Rainless Too. St. Petersburg, July 15.—Accord- ing to government reports, many parts of the empire are threatened with total failures of the crops and consequent famine on account oflack ofrain. There has been no drouth like the one now prevailing in many years. In the great grain fields of the Volga since early last month the temperature has been about 101 and no rain has fallen. The fields are burned and brown and the feeding of eattle and horses has already begun / to bea probiem. The same kind of reports are coming from the province | of Kasan.

Court House Squabble Bich Hill Review, 13th Those who understand the policy ofthe Butler Free Press best, are | more ready to believe that it’s editor, } Hon. W.O ed in secoring the county court over the present court house matter than he.is in getting the superintendent of construction bounced. The Review was opposed to 0 new court house to begin with, but after the contract was let, whether the means to secure it were fair or not, we felt as interested in securing a good building and we believe the county court is composed of men of too much sense to give the peopleanythingelse. We believe they will insist on the building being the proper height above the foundation, as perspecifications, and that they will also see to it that the foundation at a proper depth to soundness much is started guarantee security and li the specifications do not cover this, of there is nothing for the court to do but pay course something extra to secure it The eourt cannot afford to slight this feature of the building, and the people cannot afford it. The saving of a few hundred dollars’ expense in this respect would not be justifiable, when the loss it might entail in the matter of future defects in the main structure is considered. The Review is willing to trust the good sense of the court in this matter and reserves its criticisms until that body demon- strates its unfitness to carry out the trust imposed. Anybody ean howl, remonstrate and object, but it re- quires nerve and judgment to meet deficiencies and defects. If any mis takes have been made, therefore, the proper thing to do is to correct them before it is too late, and no doubt our county will look after this. judges BOYS CONCOCT BOLD PLOT.
