THE PRIMARIES. The attendance at the primaries last evening was unusually large and the nominations good. While success is not an easy thing to secure with a large majority in opposition the candidates are worthy of success. In the first ward JAMES H. was nominated for councilman.

Mr. Wise has been a resident of Logansport for almost twenty years. He is a carpenter by trade and formerly found employment at the Pan Handle shops. He is a property holder and tax payer and will make an able Councilman ft chosen to that body. Mr.

Wise is much interested in drill work and will be remembered as the -gentleman who took a prize for the best work at one of the contests by one of the societies at Chicago. He is an industrious citizen and deserves success. J. C- BRIDGE. In the second ward is well-known to 'the citizens of Logansport.

He has been in the music business many years and has been a member of most of the Eepubiican glee clubs. He, is a good citizen and will make a good councilman if elected. Like his colleague in the first ward he lias a Democratic majority Mm -and his handicapped in the race." D. MIN.THOBN, In the third ward is a popular Pan Handle train dispatcher who has served the company for ten years in that capacity and fact alone is a -sufficient his business ability and carefulness. He is a young man of energy and ability and at a time when the new tax law and new appraisement is disturbing the people they could not do better than to choose Mr.

Minthorn for councilman. J. C. HADLEY. In the fourth ward- 1 needs- no introduction to the people of Logansport since he has been prominently before them.

He should be complimented strengthened in by a full Republican L. L. TKIfMAN In the fifth ward receives a re- jiomination. Some opposition was made to him, not on personal grounds but from a fear that vote for the $250 license would make him a weak candidate. The Journal does not believe that this is correct.

Mr. Truman has always voted right on all questions affecting- the interests of the city and he will continue to'dp so. No man should lose a Republican vote lor having done his DID it ever to you that the IcKinley bill as a law upon the statute books should be entitled "a law governing the rights of foreign merchants and manufacturers" and that it has very little direct force upon citizens of the United States? We as a people have greater privileges and greater. prosperity than that of any other country. We are free to fix our own rates and scale of prices by supply and demand or'by organization.

The McKinlcy bill The object of legislation is to protect life, liberty and property equally. It" is not its object to create or change values. Every effort should be to secure stability that the dollar wh ich the poor man lays up in his youth may be a full dollar in his old age. Commercial organization does not result from legislation but in spite of it and commerdial organization should be met by organization, The farmers see this and should they be able to control the output of wheat for instance they would control the prices of the Nation. Legislation will not help them but good business sense will.

Undertakers and Grave Diggers 'Ravages of the Disease in West Virginia. DEATH'S HARVEST. YORK, April were a remarkable number of funerals Sunday. From early in the day until late in the afternoon the thoroughfares leading to the Long- Island ferries were crowded with hearses and funeral parties. At a low estimate 500 corpses were taken across the river for interment The road from Long Island City to Calvary cemeteny was black with funeral corteges.

The number of funerals in Brooklyn were far beyond the usual Sunday average, and there was a greater demand for hearses than could be supplied. Few could be secured from this city owing to the demand here from the same causes, and those owned in the Long Island towns were sent for. The streets of Brooklyn were filled processions passing to the various cemeteries, and so many coaches ivere hired that in some cases the prices were increased. Extra forces of men were employed at grave digging in the cemeteries on Saturday in spite of the storm, and many bodies had to be placed in the receiving vaults on account of the lack of time to make graves ready. The number of deaths last week in Brooklyn was 630 and largest number in one day was 114 on Friday.

The number of deaths last week which was 138 more than in the week before, was the largest ever known in Brooklyn. While only 10 were directly attributed to the grip, there were 163 from pneumonia, 60 from bronchitis, 48 from consumption, 19'from diphtheria, in all of the grip might have been a secondary cause and in many of which it hastened a fatal ending. In one week of 1890, when the grip was at its height, the number of deaths was 634, and this had not been exceeded even in heated terms in summer when infant mortality is greatest, NEW YORK, April victim of the grip killed himself while in the delirium of fever by jumping from the fifth-story window of the tenement house at 531 First avenue. His name Louis, Wilhelm and he is a German mill hand. Every bone in the poor victim's body was broken, but despite his injuries he for an hour after being taken up.

"VVilhelm is the third victim of the grip who has killed himself in this way during the last ten days. WHEELING, W. April grippe has caused an extraordinary mortality among old people in this state during the past week.

Elizabeth Keys died in Doddridge county, aged 99. CEDAB RAPIDS, April night John Irkal, while temporarily insane from the effects of the grip, his head off with a shotgun. A BIG BLAZE. CHICAGO, April of the fiercest and most disastrous fires the Chicago department has fought in many years swept through West Madison street Sunday afternoon. The big Smyth building that extends from Union half way to Hoisted street was destroyed, and wrui the consents of John M.

Smyth's furniture house, the largest retail establishment in the world. All that is loft of Kohl Middleton's west side dime museum is a heap of bricks and charred timber. On the north side of Madison street from Union street to the Haymarket theater block five buildings were destroyed. Three of them tumbled down before the maelstrom of fli-e, and at one time the roof and a portion of the front of the theater building was burning so fiercely that everybody thought it would share the fate of its neighbors, but the firemen managed to save the structure, but in a seriously damaged condition. The total loss is estimated at 55862,200.

John M. Smyth Co. alone will lose $600,000. The fire originated in the wagon shed of John M. Smyth directlv in the rear of the museum.

Shortly after 4 o'clock the fire started, and from the first it was stubborn, almost resistless. Kohl Middleton's museum, on the second floor, was filled with the usual crowd of Sunday visitors. They were scattered through the curio hall and the galleries, and a big audience was in one the theaters watching a stage performance. The first intimation of danger came whon every window cracked and shattered and flames leaped into the rooms. Where the fire came from no one seemed to know.

There were shrieks and cries, people pushed over each other and ran panic-stricken down the stairway and into the -street. Before they reached the street with the first alarm a curling cloud of black Smoke was rising from the rear of the building'. In the museum were specialty performers, attaches and "freaks," who did not rush out when the visitors beat their hasty retreat. Some wore their stage costumes and were hurriedly endeavoring to collect wardrobes and valuables. Within a brief minute they, too, were forced to leave, many without saving anything except the stage clothes they were wearing.

The fat woman, the bigheaded boy, the gypsies and the albino rushed into the street. When the fire department threw the first stream the Smyth building was entirely in flames. The great building burned as though it was stored with naphtha and tinder. A mass of blaze swept through the front and flung it- sp.lf half way across the street. Then it curled up and made the front a wall of roaring flames.

Firemen retreated before the attack, and from a safe distance, their rubber coats steaming and scorching, they sent a few punny splashes in to the fire. Almost at the same time the buildings across the way were ignited and each side of the street became ablaze. From Union street to the Haymarket theater a row of business houses faced the terrific onslaught of firebrands from the burning Smyth block. They did not withstand it long. Each one was afire within fifteen minutes after the first alarm, and the corner of the Haymarket theater building was smoking, with tongues of flame in a dozen different places.

A determined and successful effort to save the theater was made, but the row of buildings between it and Union street was doomed from the first. All later efforts of the firemen were 1 directed to checking the spread of the flames. These efforts were successful. At 8 o'clock last evening the two sides of West Madison street were tumbled and smoking ruins. The losses are distributed about as follows: John M.

Smyth, 150 to 165 Madlaon street, building anfl stock of furniture, Kohl ife Middleton, 154 Madison street, Neely boots and shoes. 152 Madison street, Adelbert Ksempfer, jewelry, ISO Madison street, $45,000: Alfred Peats, wall paper and furniture, 155 Madison street, P. J. Casey, building, 155 Madison street, $15.000: Baer hats, 157 Madison street, M. Irrman, cigars and tobacco, 159 Madison street, Hannah Hogs, saloon, 161 Madison street, Royal Tailors, 1C3 Madison street, Haymarket theater, Kb Madison street (flats), SlO.003; 1ST Madison street (flats), $5,000: 159 Madison street (flats), 181 to 189 Madison street (Haymarket building), board of education property, In the rear of the Smyth block, other losses, $8,000.

The insurance is light, John M. Smyth carrying only about while Kohl Middleton and M. Irrman, the cigar dealer, carried no insurance whatever, having allowed their policies to expire without renewal, as they had intended moving into new buildings soon. Alexander Grant, an employe in the museum, was seriously injured while making his escape from a third-story window. He crawled out on a sign and attempted to swing- down by means of a wire.

The wire broke under his weight, however, and he fell to the pavement, a distance of 50 feet, breaking his leg and frightfully bruising his-head and shoulders. His injuries, however, are considered not necessarily fatal. About fifty persons, including two policemen, stood watching the flames from the corner of Union and Meridian streets. The officers were keeping the crowd back, and as it was pushing and swaying- the wooden walk gave way and they fell about 10 feet. Mrs.

Bessie Higgins was probably fatal- iy iWjuivd by the fall and was taken to her home, 108 Washington street. Bernard b'toUl had leg broken at the same timr und was removed to the Emuryvney hospital. A.tiu 1 the firemen had got.tho flames under control and were playing upon the west end ol the Smyth building Francis Gamble, aged about 10 years, accompanied by Gus Hanshaw, who was a trifle older, went around behind the building and into a shed used as a storehouse. The rool came down with a crash, burying young Gamble in the ruins. Gamble waa quickly dug out and taken to the office of 'Dr.

Mac Kay, 101 South Malsted street, where it was found that his injuries were probably fatal. His hips and left leg were broken. It was thought also that his skull was fractured. A patrol wagon was summoned and he was taken to the county hospital, where he died at midnight. FIRK IN AN' OMAHA HOTEL.

OMAHA, April started about 10 o'clock Sunday night in the kitchen of the Paxton hotel, situated on the fourth floor of the annex back of the main building. While the firemen were putting up ladders to reach the flames the wall fell out, carrying down four of No. 2 Hose company's men. All were-, buried under a pile of hot brick and received serious injuries. FATAL AT A POOKHOUSE.

SAN AXTONIO, April sleeping coaches, the Ramulus and Vallejo, running- between the City of Mexico, San Antonio and Washington, D. via the Mexican road, reached here Sunday in a dilapidated condition. The Mexican train to which they were attached passed through a cyclone and hailstorm near Torreton, night. So large were the hailstones that the headlight of the engine and every pane of glass on one side of the train of cars were smashed. The tin roofs were battered so badly that not a particle of paint remained.

Several persons in the day coaches were injured, and a Mexican at Torreton station was killed. The train was forced to stop for half an hour until the storm passed. Those in the sleepers who reached here say the cyclone must have created great havoc. A BRIDE SOON WIDOWED. Death of Count I-ewenhaupt, Who Was Recently to Daughter of Secretury IJayard.
