There are yet many bargains for all classes of people, everything going av, less than one-third of Biederman’s prices. This will be the last week. 402 Bradway, Council Bluffs, ——— O.

The building ana all its contents wero destroyed, Thoslip on the south of the shed soparating it from the Erie grain elevator was filled with barges and caoal boats. Many of them ook fire and it looked at one time as if the elevator would huveto go. The tug boats were pressed into servico and the ship was finally cleared, but not until the barges Bur- hinghame, Suffolk, Huntlsy and Mary Eliza- beth had been badly burned. Two canal boats loaded with grain were destroyed. An unkuown deck hand is believed to have been drowned. Another man empioyed on the Huntley fel overboard but was rescued. ‘The steam pumps in the Gray elevator were busy wetting down the structure until all danger of a spread of the fire was over. From the hay the flames spread to & long uarrow platform used as u milk depot, which was totally destroyed.

MecClure, editor of the Philadelphia Times, was in Charleston for a fow hours to- day en route to Philadelphia. In an inter- view with a reporter of the News and Courier today he discussed the prasidential situation and relative standing of Eiill and Cleveland. He said: *No man of average intelligence who dis- assionately roviews the political situation u the north can _hope for a single northern state voting for Senator Hill if nominated at Chicago, and the largest majority against him in any state will be in New York. This fact will be clearly presented and under- stood at Chicago, and the nomination of Hill will not be seriously thought of when the convention moets. The oniy possible effect of the Hill movemont is the defear of Cleve- land, but this 15 by no means certain, as he is tho choico of two-thirds of the people who will elect a domocratic president if one shall be elected this year, and he caunot be de- feated by a raid of hothouse machine politi- ciaus on the presidency. Attractiveness of Hill's Metho “Senator Hill's political system has many attractions for a considerablo class of men who are active in modern poiitics. It offers plunder for the venal, place for the ambitious and flattery for fools, wnd if his election to the presidoncy wero possiblo there would bo ten- old mora disappointment in political circles of the suocesstul party than there was under Cieveland. The fact_ that Clevelana's can- didacy does not appenl to the jobber or to tho vamty of the weak is the chiof reason why he is the sirongest possivle candidate the democrats could present for president this year, and the fact that this can be ous objection to him for president in any state of the country suzgests a measure of degrada- tion in American politics \hat is unexampled in the history of the republic.” Towa Legislative Proceedings.
