gttfc0 TD-OE FIRE IN DETROIT. Twenty Firemen Buried Beneath the Falling Walls. IN IOWA. Gov. McKinley Receiving Ovations in the Hawkeye State.

Joined by a Number of Old Friends at Council Bluffs. (Corner of Main and First Avenue) POINTER No. 8. The swiftest runner wins the race This store, AND THIS STORE ALONE, IN HUTCHINSON, gives to its patrons the benefits subsequent to a STRICTLY CASH BASIS of dealing: in buying, in selling, in paying- Did it ever enter your mind that the consumer who deals with the merchant who buys his wares for cash and retails them on the old credit plan, is just as foolish as the one who may trade with a dealer who sells for cash (or claims to) and borrows the money (or a big part of it) to conduct his business. To the one the customer makes up the deficiencies of the delinquent trader; to the other, the unfortunate customer helps pay interest on borrowed capital.

Cash buyers who wish to enjoy the advantages to which their cash entitles them should trade here. Cloaks. It seems from all appearances so far that this ''busy corner" has virtually no competion for the cloak trade this season, and its not to be wondered at either, when you consider the advantages to be had here in cloak buying. Cash paid for them, cash will buy them here at city prices (and less); besides, there is no comparing our nice, NEW, WELL MADE, STYLISH Outer-garments with "carried over" stuff, which experience has taught people to expect from some stores. if here and there, a dozen famous battles of the war being mentioned.

Meanwhile the rest of the party had reached the train and it had pulled out of the station. The absence of Colonel Grant was not noticed until Walnut, some fourteen miles distant, had been reached. Here a wired inquiry developed the fact that Avoca being a changing station he had managed to se-sure a special engine and was speeding eastward. Half an hour later he rejoined his party. "Its the first time a Grant ever got left," said General Howard, and above the roar of laughter Colonel Grant shouted, "But it was worth while being left for the experience." From this point the party received a continuous ovation.

At Atlantic, Adair, Casey, Stewart, Dexter, Earlham and several other stopping places large crowds were assembled and addresses were made by Colonel Grant and Colonel Sherman. At Stewart, where there was an immense crowd, Colonel Grant said: "When I was left, for the first time in my life, at Avoca just now, I got to talking to an old veteran about horses. He told me they were no longer of any use, and it did not pay to breed them. The men used the trolleys, the girls used b'cycles, and now that the government was run by Jackasses there was no longer any places left for the usefulness of the horses." A roar of laughter drowned Colonel Grant's words and amid cheers that followed he retired to his car. Des Moines was reached shortly after six o'clock.

Since leaving Omaha in the morning Governor McKinley and his friends had addressed fourteen crowds aggregating some forty thousand men, women and children and bowed his thanks in response to greetings from assemblages at a dozen additional points. When the capitol city was reached it seemed as though half of the state had turned out to bid welcome to the visitors. The wide thoroughfares leading from the depot to the Savoy House were almost impassible and the cheering was tremendous. Every few feet the carriages containing Governor McKinley, General Howard, Colonel Grant, Mr. Sherman and others of the party were compelled to come to a standstill and old army veterans fought with each other for a chance to shake hands with the sons of warriors, statesmen and the general of the armies.

To-night Governor McKinley addressed an audience of 5,000 at the tabernacle and a second meeting at Foster's opera he-use, where five times as many people as received admission tickets remain -a the outside and were iiddi-eSbicu. lier speakers. At the tabernacle Governor McKinley made an energetic address, in the course of which he said: "This year the democratic party is so divided upon the great public questions that the man who deposits a democratic ticket does not know whether it is to endorse Mr. Cleveland or whether it is to endorse some populist who does not belong to the democratic party at all, so you can see the embarassment, and therefore a great many men who had hitherto belonged to that party in this state, as in Ohio last year, preferred the prosperity of the country and joined forces with the party that stands for the prosperity of the country. After the meetings.

Governors "McKinley and Jackson, General Howard, Colonel Grant, Tecumseh Sherman and others of the visitors were tendered an elaborate banquet. Covers were laid for 250. Governor McKinley resumes his trip at (3 in the morning, making the first speech at Ames at 7 and reaching St. Paul at dusk. Ladies ion TT i lies' 30-inch Kersev Cloth Jacket, Finished, onlv $3.95.

Detroit, Oct. 5. Fire at 8 o'clock this morning completely gutted the five story brick building, Nos. 213, 215 and 217 Woodward avenue, owned by Traugott Schmidt and occupied by Keenan Jahn, dealers in furniture, entailing a loss of $80,000. The walls of the gutted building collapsed shortly after 9 o'clock burying twenty firemen in the debris, six of whom were killed and eleven more or less seriously injured.

2 and 6, and in the doorway in the front were Paget, Dcly Donoghue, and Cummings with box pouring water into the almost gutted building. At 9:15 there was a slight shock. The front wall seemed to settle perpendicularly about two feet. The columns of the front sagged forward." the wall crumbled in mid air and the red hot bricks, mortar, burning timbers and iron pillars crashed upon the sidewalk, buiwing all of the men at work under the tons of debris. The work of rescue was begun at once.

Fred Bussey an electrical worker, was the first victim taken from the debris in the alley. He was alive but died on his way to the hospital. The rest of the men who were at work in the alley were rescued, ali more or less seriously injured but not fatally. The men in front had not fared so well, however, Donoughue, Paget, Ball and Dely and Cummings were all taken out dead, the bodies of the two latter not being recovered for six hours. All of the bodies were frightfully mangled.

As fast as the injured men wrere rescued they were taken to hospitals. All were doing well to-night and it is not thought that any are fatally injured. After the walls fell, the fire was gotten under control. While the burned building had never been officially condemned it has been considered unsafe. It was valued at $30,000 and was insured for $25,000.

Keenan cSr Jahns loss is between $50,000 and $00,000 of which there is $45,000 insurance. Farmers National Congress. Parkeusbukg, W. Oct. 5.

The farmers national congress opened this morning in the Academy of Music by General Stone of the agricultural depratment, who spoke on improved roads. Resolutions were introduced as follows: On the temperance question by Kingsbury of Indiana, in regard to American encyclopedia, by Colonel Need ham, of Massachusetts, and to put agricultural products on the free list, by Moore of. Penn. In the afternoon McNeil of West Virginia introduced a resolution on alien ownership of lands and another on election of United States senators by the people.

The men will be given a week cruise and four days practice with the great guns Fred Grant, Major Howard and Major Sherman Join the Party An Affecting Scene at a Veterans' Reunion.

Des Moixes, Iowa, Oct. 5. A son of the "Great commander" a favorite son of the lamented warrior who led the march from Atlanta to the sea; a grizzled major general of the regular army, now on the eve of retirement from the service of his country, and the governors of two of the most potential states of the Union, stood shoulder to shoulder to-day, and crossing the Hawkeye state from the borderland on the Missouri river to the capital in its center, exchanged words of good cheer with scores of thousands of itscitizens. It was a remarkable group an extraordinary blending of politics and patriotic sentiment and a tribute to the living as the blood representatives of the nations dead, such as possibly has never before been witnessed in the country. The effective climax came when Colonel Fred Grant was literally captured by men who wore the blue and compelled to make a race of fourteen miles in order to rejoin his friends and his associates.

There was nothing pre-arranged about the incidents of to-day beyond the fact that the republican state central committee had arranged for a series of meetings to be addressed by Governor McKinley as a part of the program of his present trip. When the chief apostle of high protective duties reached Council Bluffs from Omaha, after breakfast this morning, he found awaiting him a large number of his friends from different parts of the country, who had been participating in the annual reunion of the Army of the Tennessee. Among them were General O. O. Howard, U.

S. commanding the department of the east. Colonel Fred Grant. Tecumseh Sherman, Major Hoyt General G. M.

Dodge score of others. Nearly Sherman, and a the en- tire -number was east, ward bound a i -d. ftev Governor McKinley had ad- dressed the crowd in tlie public square v. ith an appropriate introduction from Governor Jackson, his special car with that of General Dodge was attached to the east bound liock Island train and the politicians and the veteran survivors of the Tennessee resumed their fraternal intercourse. The first slop was at Neola.

a strong populist center, where-Governor McKinley spoke briefly, the applause being interspersed witlif cheers for General James Weaver, the populist presidential nominee at the last election. There was a large crowd in waiting at Shelby and after Governor McKinley had asked his hearers to give an increased majority to Congressman Ilager, and thus endorse his vote and action on the last republican tariff bill, he gave way for an introduction of General Grant. The son of his father was received with a tumult of applause. "I thank you for your welcome," he said, "and I am sorry that I cannot make such a speech as that of Governor McKinley 's to fill pyoii with republican enthusiasm. But wneneveri get into sucn an internum crowd as this I find that they always vote that way" (Great cheering).

Major Hoyt Sherman, brother of "Old Tecumseh" was next brought forward, by Governor Jackson and heartily welcomed. "I am going to see this great republican demonstration," he said, "But I don't believe von want to see me. for I have sold great numbers of you town lots." Great laughter. "This meeting seems to indicate that you intend to vote right, but you want to see the rising generation" and amid great applause Major Sherman stepped back and pushed forward the son of the dead General Tecumseh Sherman. The latter was embarrassed by the warmth of his reception.

"I am always glad to be in Iowa," he said, "My heart is with the west and the people of the west, and like you, I hope to have the opportunity and the pleasure of voting for McKinley by and by." "And you bet you'll do," shouted a man in the crowd. "Here is Major Howard," said Governor McKinley, and as the one armed fighter stepped to the rails there was more cheering. "I am not going to make a speech," said General Howard, "I want Governor McKinley to have all the glory of this trip. But I hope you will vote all right and 1 am sure you will." General Dodge had just time to say that he believed in McKinley and agreed with him and that he hoped they ould vote as he did, as the train moved out. Avoca was the next stop and here the visitors were escorted to a platform in the bluffs, around which two thousand people had gathered.

A large proportion of the numbers were Grand Army veterans. Governor McKinley spoke for ten minutes and then gave way to Col. Grant. At the very mention of his name the veterans went frantic. They stormed the platform and almostmoth-ered him in their embraces.

His hands were caught and his arms stretched; and an old man clasped him around the neck and sobbed aloud, and exclamations of "God bless you," were mingled with cries of "I was with your father" rancv norn ruuron, jengin incnes. uur irnee cu.oo.

Tolley, of Akron, Ohio, Attempts to Assault Gertrude Lewis. Akrox. Ohio, Oct. 4. This city was stirred to the depths to-night by the news of a shocking deed attempted by a prominent young man of this city.

Henry D. Tolley attempted to assault Miss Gertrude Lewis and afterward shot himself through the heart. Tolley and Miss Lewis had been engaged until last June, when she broke the engagement because of his deception in regard to some business matters. He took the matter very much to heart, and so brooded over it that it drove him half crazy. He has several times threatened his own life as well as hers.

To-day he enticed her to his home on the pretext that his mother wanted to see her. He was alone and after some conversation left the room returning with a bottle and a hander-chief. She asked him what he had and he replied "'Chloroform" also giving her to understand that he intended to commit a foul crime. Then began a desperate struggle for her life and honor. She had partially succumbed to the influence of the drug, when her screams attracted the attention of Letter Carrier Wallace Newman, who rushed in and confronted Tolley.

The latter took matters very cooly and turning round went up stairs. The girl had, in the meantime tied to a mend house through the rain half a mile away. She was bareheaded and without a wrap hile her face bore marks of the struggle in several deep scratches. Officers were summoned but before they arrived Tolley's mother came home and found her son on the floor in a pool of blood. Tolley was twenty-seven years of age and until two weeks ago had been traveling for the Overman Wheel company of Chicopee Falls.

Mass. Miss Lewis is the daughter of Judge George W. Lewis of Medina, Ohio, and is an accomplished young lady and brilliant artist. Registered Mall Pouch Robbed. St.
