Mountain Grove Journal. At three o'clock Monday morning the lire alarm was sounded and good part of the population of Mountain Grove turned out to fight the flames that were rapidly de vouriug the old frame buildings on the southeast corner of the square It was apparent to those who ar rived at the scene of the fire first that the blaze had started in i room at the rear of W. R. Blanch ard's grocery store. The big frame livery barn on First street butted up against the 131anchard buildiug aud the flames soon reached the hay loft of barn.

The livery barn was owned by L. H. Williams, while the livery stock was the property of Otis Ellis, who was sleeping iu the office of the baru The horses and vehicles and most of the harness were saved by prompt actio'i. The feed was lost. When the fire started, the wind was blowing a stiff breeze from the northeast and had this kept up the old Commepial hotel buildiug on the corner near the depot would have burned aud then it would have been next to impossible to save the Frisco depot, but the wind veered- to the east and helped the fire fighters greatly iu their battle to save property.

The livery barn, the Blanchard building, the building occupied by Tom Holt as a shoe shop, the Simpson restaurant, the Fraser real estate office, the building used as a residence by Mrs. West, the buildiug occupied by H. A. Lang's tailor shop were left iu ashes. L.

H. Williams had J500 insurance on the livery barn and estimates his loss $1500. Mr. Blanchard had $500 iu groceries, had no insurance and lost all, even his books going up in smoke. H.

A. Lang carried insurance to amount of $400 aud will not suffer a heavy loss. Tom Holt had no iusurauce aud lost all his tools. J. R.

Simp-sou saved most of his restaurant goods. D. J. Fraser lost all his office supplies in his real estate office. Attorney G.

M. Smith lost his law library, valued at $500. Mrs. West saved only a part of her household goods. W.

P. Gooch lost considerable bedding, and J. J. Brown, the owner of the furnishings of the Commercial Hotel, suffered a heavy loss from breakage iu moving all the fixtures out of the hotel. All the buildings burned were owned by the First National Bank, except the livery barn which was the property of L.

H. Williams, as before stated. For some time it looked like the fire was going to be a disastrous one for Mtn. Grove, but a faithful band fought the flames with every means that could be utilized. The origin of the fire is a mystery, but it is believed that it is a mystery that can be solved.

That it was the work of an incendiary goes without much question. That it should get mighty hot for the party who deliberately applied the match is the verdict of all.

There were 349,100 Votes cast for Democratic candidates for the legislature two years ago aud votes cast for Republican candidates. Aud yet owing to the infamous Republican gerrymander in St. Louis the Republicans had a working majority in the lower house of the last general assembly, And the Globe-Democrat harps upon the unfairness of the Democratic Senatorial districts. The reformer should bring to the work of reform clean hands. Ex.

Three Candidates For Presidential Nominations. Washinutos, D. July 22. Three men are now regarded in Democratic circles as candidates for the party's presidential nomination. They are Governor Harmon, of Ohio, Mayor Gaynor of New York, and former Governor Folk of Missouri.

Others are discussed, including Governor Marshall of Indiana and Champ Clark of Missouri, but they are not in any sense before the country as candidates. It it reasonably certain that the Ohio, New York and Missouri delegations in the 1912 National Democratic Convention will present the names of Harmon, Folk and Gaynor. Indiana may do the same for Marshall, although no definite indication of such a purpose as yet has come from that state. Friends of Governor Folk are busy in the Fast, aud his candidacy is considerable nttemion in the Eastern newspapers. liar Dion's name has been persistently put forward ever since he became Governor of Ohio.

If he wins a re-election in November, a deter mined campaign in behalf of his nomination for the presidency will begin at once. Gaynor National Figure. Since becoming Mayor of New York Mr. Gaynor has been a national figure of growing proportions. Gaynor has a faculty of voicing epigrams that hold public attention, such as "Ours is government of law, not of men," which serve effectively in defining the issues and winning popularity.

In order to take advantage of Republican divisions, the Democrats are doing their best to "get together." The man upon whom all factions can agree will have the best chance of nomination. Though a thrice defeated candidate, William J. Bryan has a tremendous influence within the Dem ocratic party. To obtain hanuuiiy Bryan's whole-souled support of the candidate is essential. While no public expression from either man is available, there is good ground for believing that Messrs.

Harmon and Bryan are not likely to co-opernte. On the surface, Harmon now appears to be the strongest candidate, but his nomination, if not satisfactory to Bryan would be unlikely. The advices received here up to date are that the Nebraskan thinks equally well of Mayor Gaynor and Governor Folk. The availibility of Representee Eugene Fobs of Massachusetts as a vice presidential possibility is being widely discussed by Democratic politicians. It has been a policy of the Dem ocrats to pick a New England man for second place on their tickets when such a man was big enough and willing to take the nomination.

Foss Qlalued Fob Place. Fobs is undoubtedly big enough. Tie gained a national reputation by carrying a strong Republican district in a special election for Congress. Ho ran on a low tariff platform, and it is upon the same kind of platform that the Democrats will go before the people next full and ask for support. The Massachusetts Congressman is, therefore, qualified from all points of view, to be the running mate of a presidential candidate.

He is a New Englander, his politics are straight and his force as a public speaker aud a capable campaigner bus been demonstrated. It is known that Mr. Foss himself taken by people in tropi cal countries all the year It stops wasting and keess UD the Strength and vitality in summer as well as winter.

It would show the Democrats of the country that with the proper kind of campaign even the rock-riDbea strongnoia of Republicanism could be invad" ed. All that can be said of Foss as a presidential possiumty can ue said with equal force iu his favor as a vice presidential candidate, his friends here contend.

These friends further assert that their man can be prevailed upon to take the second place on the ticket, should the first place go elsewhere. Missouri's Dad Eggs. Missouri is making war on the sale of eggs unlit for human food. Iu a letter to the Journal of Agriculture, Dr. Cutler, Stjite Food and Drug Commissioner, has this to say The sale or offering for sale of eggs not fit for use is not only unlawful, but their entry into the channels of trade has the effect of reducing the price of the Missouri product below the current prices of the market, the loss of which is, of course, borne by the producer and dealer.

It is to the farmers' and dealers' advantage, therefore, to use greatest care in culling out all eggs unfit for food. From aud after July 15, 1910, all eggs should be bought and sold only on the "loss off" basis, in order that the provision of the law may be faith fully observed. The Missouri Pure Food Law forbids the sale or offering for sale of eggs unfit for human food. Regulation 12, division 0, section 14, approved March 15, 1007, reads: "The sale, keeping for sale or offering for sale of tainted or rotten eggs is prohibited. Any person, firm, association, or corporation who shall, within this State manufacture or produce, of fer or expose for sale, or shall sell or deliver, or have in his or their possession with intent to sell, any food, as defined in this act, shaJl be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished for every such offense by a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $500, or by imprisonment iu the county jail not to exceed six months, or both such fino and imprisonment; and shall, in addition, be adjudged to pay all ousts a'ld expenses incurred in inspecting and analyzing such food or drug.
