St.eln‘l. eputy. 2t Thurs: Jan. 12th and 19th HALF A DOZEN MEN MISSING Believed Six Perished in Cin= cinnati Fire. LOSS OVER HALF MILLION Building Destroyed Was Occupied by the Chamber of Commerce and Was One of the Finest Structures in the City—Lives of Several Hundred Ban- quetters Endangered by Flames. Cincinnati, Jan. 12.—Six bodies are believed to be buried in the ruins of the seven-story granite building occu- pied by the chamber of commerce, which was destroyed by fire with a loss which it is believed will be more than $500,000. Sixteen firemen and spectators were injured during the fire, which was marked by two violent explosions, be- lieved to have been from gas. The windows in the lower part of the Fourth street side of the new Sin- ton hotel and on the Baker alley side of the famous old Burnett House were shattered by the explosions and guests at both hotels were panic stricken. The explosions followed the crash of the roof of the great building, carrying with it the two upper stories, which were hung by girders from the roof supports. The missing are: Charles S. Sibbold, secretary of the Early & Daniels company, grain and hay dealers; Brent Marshall, Coving- ton, Ky., vice president of the same firm; Harry Leslie, negro porter; Les- lie Buchanan, aged seventeen, em- ployed by the Union Grain and Hay company; Fred Selm, night engineer; Christ Nieuts, night foreman. The first three named were working in the office of the Early & Daniels company, on the first floor of the building. They have not been seen since. It is supposed they were caught when the floors fell. Two Trapped in Basement. The Buchanan boy was working in the office of the Union Hay and Grain company and has not been seen since the fire. The engineer and fireman of the building are believed to have been trapped in the basement. Fire Chief Archibald declared that it ‘would be several days before the ruins would be cool enough to begin a search for the bodies. The fire originated in a storeroom over the kitchen of the Business Men’s club on the sixth floor. This organization occupied the two upper floors. With two banquets in progress in the Business Men’s club when the fire started there were about 200 persons endangered. A suburban business or- ganization was holding a banquet, while members of the Accident Insur- ance Underwriters’ association were holding a dinner. The banquetters re- fused to leave the tables until flames burst through the ceiling and the roof began to crack over their heads. All the banquet guests escaped un- hurt, but a number of employes of the Business Men’s club were overcome by smoke and rescued by firemen. The ruined building is located in the heart of the shopping and hotel dis- trict and was the finest structure in the city. IN ORDER TO SAVE COSTS Missouri Democratic Legislators Vote to Seat Republicans. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 12.—The Jefferson-Wightman contest that has blockaded the legislature for six days is ended. The Democrats of both houses, in joint secret caucus, voted, 45 to 29, to seat Wightman, the Republican candi- date, for railroad commissioner, and ‘W. P. Evans, Republican, for educa- tion superintendent. The Democrats refused to stand by Bradbury, their candidate, because to do so would mean a complete recount of all the state vote, a total blockade of legislation for two months and a cost to-the state of more than $250,000. POLICE GUARD CLOSED BANK Hundreds of Frantic Foreigners Start a Demonstration. New York, Jan. 12—A cordon of policemen stood guard outside the closed East Side banking house of Cleto Sciandone on One Hundred and Sixth street as the result of a demon- stration by several hundred frantic foreigners who had placed their sav- ings on deposit there It was feared that an attempt would be made to blow up the building. The banker has been missing, the police say, since Monday morning. He had been in business for five years and had won the confidence of the up town Italian colony until his depos- itors numbered more than 3,500. Two Children Burned to Death. Indianapolis, Jan. 12.—The charred bodies of Lawrence Huntington, aged four, and Spencer Hoag, aged five, were found in the burned barn on their grandfathei’s farm near here. It is thought the children accidentally fired the hay in the loft and were too frightened to escape. FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY Cash in Chicago Sub-Treasury Passes $100,000,000 Mark. Chicago, Jan. 12.—Cashier Russell of the government sub-treasury an- nounced to Sub-Treasurer Len Small that the actual cash in the vaults had passed the $100,000,000 mark for the first time in the history of the Chi- cago sub-treasury. Most of the money in the vaults 1s in gold coins of various denomina- tions; _there 15 $4000,000 in- bills. When Mr. Russell becdme cashier ot the sub-treasury twelve years ago there was between - $25,000,000 and $30,000,000 in its vaults, BIG OIL WELL IN FLAMES Standard Oil Gusher in California on Fire. Bakersfield, Cal, Jan. 12.—One of the great gushers of the Standard Ol company near.here is on fire, sending up a column of smoke that can be seen for miles. One hundred - men worked all night to concentrate the steam from several boilers on the flames. The well was “brought in” about two months ago and is one of the big- gest producers in the fleld, New York City After Hatpin, New York, Jan. 12.—New York city will join the list of cities which have legislated against the long hatpin, if an ordinance now before the board of aldermen becomes a law. The or- dinance provides a fine of not more than $50 for any woman whose hat- pin, unless suitably guarded, protrudes “more than half an inch from the crown or other portion of the hat.” Indispensable, Three camels presented themselves at the dock where the ark was tted up, whereas but two animals of a kind had been called for. “One of you fellows will have to step aside!” shouted Noah very per- emptorily. But the three ships of the desert smiled knowingly. “I,” said the first of them, “am the camel which shall pass through the eye of a necdle sooner than a rich man shall enter the kingdom of heaven.” “I,” said the second, “am the camel which so many people swallow while straining at a gonat.” “And 1" said the third and last, “am the camel whose back was bro- ken by the last straw.” Whereupon Noah, perceiving tbat posterity could ill spare any of these and would be lost for illustrations without them, graciously made an ex- ception in their favor.—Puck. Wellington’s Cooln: The Duke of Wellington was one day sitting at his library table when the door opened and without any an- nouncement in stalked a figure of sin- gularly ill omen. “Who are you?” asked the duke in his short and dry manner, looking up without the slightest change of coun tenance upon the intruder. “I am Apollyon. 1 am sent here to kill you.” “Kill me? Very odd.” “I am Apollyon and must put you to death.” “’Bliged to do it today?” “I am not told the day or the hour, but I must do my mission.” “Very inconvenient; very busy; great many letters to write. Call again or write me word. 1'll be ready for you.” The duke then went on with his cor- respondence. The maniac. appalled probably by the stern, immovable old gentleman, backed out of the room and in half an hour was in an asylum. A Good Sleeper. - Talleyrand used to tell an extraordi- nary story of the impassiveness of Louis XVIIL. When he was minister of foreign affairs a courier came to bim one evening bearing unpleasant news, and he therefore postponed the communication of it to the king till next morning, when he explained that he was afraid the tidings might have disturbed his majesty’'s sleep. The king replied: “Nothing disturbs my sleep, us you may see from this in- stance. The most dreadful blow of my life was my brother’s death. The courier who brought this dreadful news arrived at 8 o'clock in the even- lng. Kor many hours 1 was quite overcome, but at midnight I went to bed and slept my usual eight hours.” The story is told by the Duchesse de Dino, Talleyrand’s nlece, in her mem- ofra. The Change of a Name, How family names change-in the coirse of many years is fllustrated by the conversion of “Botevile” into “Thynne.” . An English deed bearing date in the closing days of the fifteenth century shows three brothers then flourishing—John Botevile of Botevile and Thomas and William Botevile. The trio are distinguished from all oth- er Boteviles by the explanation “of the Inne,” or family residence, the title to which had come to their joint posses- sion. John’s grandson was known a8 Ralph Botevile-of-the-Inne, from which the transition to Ralph Thyme is easy. His descendants bave been Thynnes ever since. Court Trains. At the coronation of Queen Adelaide that lady’s train tore itself away from the bodice, taking part of the latter with it. When Elizabeth of Austria entered ‘Paris to marry Charles IX. her train was seventy feet long and greatly admired by the people. Eliza- beth of Valois wore a train six yards long, which was carried after her by gentlemen as she danced. Mary, queen of Scots, is said to have worn a twelve yard train at balls, also carried by a gentleman.—Pall Mall Magazine. A Heavyweight. “And then,” she said in telling of the romantic episode, ‘“she sprang to his arms.” “She did?" “Of course. Do you doubt it?” “Oh, no,” he replied, “but after see- ing her I can’t help thinking that it must have jarred him quite a bit.”"— Chicago Post. The Advantage. Tenant—Look bere, that house I took from you is extremely damp. House Agent 1bluntly)- Well,” don’t you see the great advantage of that? If it gets on fire it won’t burn. Right and Wrong. ‘Things should not be dope by Lalves It it Is right. do it boidly: If It Is wroug leave it undone. Every day Is a lttle life, and our whole life is but a day repeated. A really great man is known by three signs—generosity iu the design. bo manity 1u the execution and moders Hou 1o success.—Blsmarck. Hoyt's Hospitality. - T¢ was the babit of Charles H. Hoyt, thé dramatist, to invite almost. every- . body Lie met to come up and spend a few weéeks with him at his summer home in New Hampshire. One night Hoyt, Bert Dasher, W. H. Currle;’ Frank McKee and several other house guests of Hoyt were sitting on the veranda of Hoyt's summer house waiting for dinner. The train had just arrived, and they saw an old farmer and his wife coming up the path. “Who' are they?’ asked Hoyt. *“I1 never saw them before.” “The dickens you didn’t,”- replied Currie.” “That Is that old chap and his wife you talked to over at Spring- field and invited to visit you.” “Oh, well,” sald Hoyt, “maybe they are just coming in to dinnmer. They will take the night train back.” Then ‘he looked again and saw the hired ‘man 'behind the farmer and his wifé¢ wheeling a big trunk on a wheel- -barrow. “No, by George,” shouted Hoyt, “they are here for a run!” And they stayed a month.—Cleve- land Leader. Long and Short Story Writers. Which are the great short stories of the English language? - Not a bad basis for a debate! This I am sure of —that there are far fewer supremely good short stories than there ‘are su- premely good long -books. It takes more exquisite skill to carve the cameo than the statue. But the strangest thing is that the two excel- lences seem to be separate and even antagonistic. Skill In the one by no means insures skill In the other. The great masters of our literature, Field- ing, Scott, Dickens, Thackeray and Reade, have left no single short story of outstanding merit behind them, with' the possible exception of Wan- dering Willie's tale in “Red Gauntlet.” On the other hand, men who have been very great in the short story, Stevenson, Poe and. Bret Harte, have written no great book. The champion sprinter is seldom a five miler as well. Poe is the master of all. Poe Is, to my mind, the supreme original short story writer of all time.—Conan Doyle in “Through the Magic Door.” Yosemite Versus Grand Canyon. Yosemite for a home or-a camp, the Grand canyon for a spectacle. I saw a robin in ‘Yosemite valley. Think how forlorn and out of place a robin would seem In the Graud canyon! What would he do there? There is no turf for him to inspect, and there are no trees for him to perch on. 1 would pyramids of Egypt or amid the ruins of Karnak. The bluebird was there also, and the water ouzel haunted the lucid “waters. The reader may create for himself a good image of Yosemite by thinking of a section of seven or eight miles of the Hudson river nrid- way of its course as emptied of its waters and deepened 3.000 feet or more, having the sides nearly vertical, with snow white waterfalls' fluttering against them here and there, the fa- mous spires and domes planted along the rim, and the landscape of groves and glades, ‘with its' still, clear, wind- Ing river, occupying the bottom.—John Burruglg!m in Century. His Apology. A recent refusal by a member of the English parliament to withdraw “one comma” of what he had said about a member of the government recalls the fact that Richard Brinsley -Sheridan once declined to punctuate an apology. In' the house of commons one day Sheridan gave an opponent the lie di- rect. Called upon to apologize, the of- fender replied: “Mr. Speaker, I said the honorable membér was a liar it is true and 1 am sorry for it.” The Insulted party was not satisfied and said so. “8ir,” retorted Sheridan, “the honor- able member can interpret the terms of my statement according to his abil- ity, and he can put punctuatlon marks where it pleases him.” . Poets® Licenses. The poet was sick at heart. He just bad submitted one of his very best productions to an unfeeling editor. who bad rebuffed him in these gentle words: “l wish there was a law about poets’ licenses like the dog license law. If I had ‘my way a poet would have to take out a license every year and those who didn’t would be killed.”— New: York Press. Her Little Composition, A class was reciting in a school. “Who can give me,” said the teacher, “a sentence fn which the words ‘bit- ter end’ are used 7" Up jumped a little girl excitedly. “1 can, teacher. ‘The cat ran under the bureau and the dog ran after her and bit her end.’” Method In His Generosity. My husband is awfully good na- tured. I gave him a beautiful box of cigars for his birthday, and he only smoked one himself ‘and gave all the rest away to his friends.—London Opin- fon . 8trong Evidence. “What makes you think he had been to a drinking party?” “He came home,” sobbed the young 'wearing a phonograph horn for Louisville Courier-Journal, Always Happens. A man who goes around with a chip on his shoulder will finally encounter as big a fool as’ he is and there will be a fight.—Atchison Globe. The sense of smartness l. sure te mlh a man shallow.

The rajahs of Bustar are hybrld rajputs, claiming to be of the family of the moon, and have reigned in Bus- tar. for between five and six hundred years. The family bears the name of Rathputty, and every year the rajah has to sit on the rath at the festival of the Dusseerah wearing the jewels of the goddess Dunteshwarre, the tutelary goddess of the state, which are brought from Dantawara temple for the pur- pose. “Save for the jewels he is clnd only In wreaths of flowers,” says a writer in the Wide World, “and when we 8aw him he looked very solemn—al- most ashamed of himself—as he passed us. “In connection with this ceremony there us:d to be a brutal custom of dragging the rath, a huge sort of jug- gernaut car weighing many tous, over the bodies of Iive buffaloes, often only partly killing them. “This horrible practice was stopped by British officials.” Mean, First Fair One—How dreadful it {s to have a skeleton in the family!

How To Cure Yourself. It is no longer necessary to spend months and months undergoing a com- plicated treatment for rheumatism, kidney or bladder trouble, or spend a good many dollars in doctors’ bills, A new treatment can now be ob- tained which seems to act more like a marvel than a medicine. This treat- ment has produced such satisfactory results in a short time that it is now guaranteed from first to last. There should be no more doubt about the rapid cure of rheumatism, no fears of the fatal termination of treacherous kidney disease or dropsy. ! Rheumatism means nothing more nor | less than that your kidneys do not work properly. Your blood passes through the Kidneys hundreds of times a day to.be filtered and purified. When the kidneys are weak, the poisons are| not “taken out of the blood as they | should be. This leads to various dis- eases, such as rheumatism, terrible| Bright’s disease, diabetes, dropsy and| bladder trouble. | The new guarantéed treatment is Dr. | Derby's Kidney Pills. One day's use of them will prove their remarkable effect. M. T. Ridenour of Lima, Ohio, | says: “When I feel bad in my back, 1| just take a couple of Derby’s Kidney | Pills and get immediate relief.” It you have rheumatism anywhere, | back pains, cloudy, foul urine, pains. in the bladder, Bright's disease or dla-| betes, put vour whole confidence in Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills, and you will not| be disappointed. Dr. Derby’s Kidney Pills are sold at all drug stores—60 pills—10 days’ treat- ment—25 cents, or we will send them direct from the laboratory of Derby Medicine Co., Eaton Rapids, Mich., prepaid if you wish, If you want to try them first, just tell your druggist to give you a free sample package.
