At least It was advertisod to bo a mass mooting, but for some reason tho masses failed to turn out. If tho attendance was a disappointment, tho speeches mado were more so. It had boen heralded on the street corners that on Wednesday night the Republicans would dig a grave broad and deep for the Willard administration. But tho speakers forgot to bring their spades along, and the few hand-fuls of dirt they scooped out was not noticeable Mr. Tosh, the first speaker, waved tho bloody shirt in front of the Democrats and ended up by slapping them over tho mouth with tho bloodiest part of the tail.

Mr. Crawford, who followed, made one of his characteristic stump speeches and tried to coax the negroes to wipe off the blood Mr. Tosh had dashed on the Democrats. Mr. Frankey, who It was claimed knew all about It, for some reason or other would not tell it.

ne discoursed learnedly on municipal theories and told of experiences of his own' In striving for municipal reforms In other towns but little, very little, was said about Argentine, save and except as to its rock pile. That was thr bugaboo that Frankey chased, and he told of going down the street a day or two ago and catching it, and of what a monster it was and how much it took to feed it, and ended by claiming that it was a white elephant. The meeting called for Thursday night by the Citizens' convention was in strong contrast to the one of the night before. Metropolitan hall was crowded. There was but one speaker, but he was a host in himself.

A full report of his (Mayor Willard's) speech will be found in another column. New toe it ana new styles of shoes at Holzmarks. All the Spring styles of black and russet shoes at Holmarks.

THE SECOND STREET FIRE. Wh.at might have been a very serious disaster was averted last Thursday afternobn by the skill and celer ity of our fire department, aided by the energy of our business men. About 2 p. as Fire Chief Geary was sitting in front of tho hose station he heard a boy call out "Fire!" He saw smoke arising from the direction of Second and Ruby, and before any alarm could be made he was on the way. He connected with the large main on Ruby avenue and also with the smaller one on Silver street, and in less than a minute had two streams playing on the fire, which, owing to the nature of the buildings dry, wooden shells had made considerable headway, and promlzed at one time to eat up the whole block.

Happily, no accident occurred and the water pressure was powerful.and through the skll of the fire boys and the energy of the citizons the fire was soon put out. Had that fire taken place in the night, when citizen assistance would have been slower to arrive, or had a strong north wind been blowing, nothing could have saved the block. Rumor has it that the fire was caused by some boy's upsetting a can of gasoline and then setting a match to it to see it burn. The small build ing on the alley and Socond street was owned by Mr. Schmidt, the baker, and was insured for $300.

The larger building across the alley was owned by a Mr. Johnson and was occupied by Mrs. Lott, who kept a boarding house. She had some $400 insurance on her furniture. Mr.

Johnson had $800 on the building. Both buildings were practically completely destroyed, as were a number of sheds at the rear. Knee pants from 25c up at Holzmarks. Finest and largest stock of gasoline stoves ever received in the city now on sale at Welborn's. All sizes and kinds.
