WEDDING BELLS i Thomas Leonard Left this ' i Morning for Avilla to Claim His Bride TO WED WEDNESDAY To Miss Frances Blotkamp of Avilla—Will Return to Decatur Thomas Leonard, proprietor of the south Second street tin shop and one of the most popular young men of the city, left this morning for Avilla, Ind., where, Wednesday morning at eight o'clock he will be wedded to Miss Frances Blotkamp, a girl hailing from one of the most prominent families of that place. For a long time Mr. Leonard has lived in this city. He was for several months employed as tinner at the Loch, Dickson hardware store and fulfilled this capacity in an efficient manner. He was far above the average tinner and his services were indeed valuable. However he resigned from the employ of the Loch Dlrkson Company and left for a short time, returning in 1907. He then equipped a shop in the Siudabaker building and engaged in business for himself. Mr. Leonard has enjoyed a liberal patronage since being in business and has a prospective future. He has a host of staunch friends who join in extending their best wishes for a prosperous and happy matrimonial career. This couple will leave on a wedding tour after their marriage and will return to this city in about ten days, where they will make their future home. o A WONDERFUL SIRE (Continued from page 2.) sons. A large and sorrying group of admirers followed the monarch of sires to his last resting place, six feet below the turf, over which the fleet hoofs of his many descendants will skim for ages to come. A few years after the death of Hambletonian a large monument of granite, costing SIO,OOO, was raised by popular subscription over his grave with the inscription: PRIDE OF THE NATION. “Hambletonian, Monarch of ires, 1849-1876." He was the pride of a nation of breeders, and his blood is valued as drops of gold, and will be handed down to future breeders as more precious than that metal. The standard performers, both trotting and pacing, now number nearly 30,000. When the pedigree of the whole number are analyzed it will be found that nearly two-thirds of the performers have the blood of Hambletonian in their make-up. And nearly one-half have that blood in both sire and dam. The top trotting record has been broken by sixteen different horses during the past sixty years. Every horse that has taken the trotting records, excepting three. Lady Suffolk. 2 29%, 1845; Pelham, 2:28, 1849, and Flora Temple, 2:19%, 1859 were sired by Hambletonian or his sons or grandsons, and the dams of ten of the number were sired by Hambletonian or his sons or grandsons. Orlindo Junior has the blood of Owego (No. 15219) Onward (1411), George Wilkes (519) King Reno (1278) Hambletonian (10) Mambrino Chief (11) Abdallah (1) Almont (33) Henry Clay (8) Andrew Jackson (4) Brown Chief (4445) and Messenger the greatest stallions of history.

ELEVEN BODIES ARE RECOVERED (Continued from page 1.) ■ the marvelous escapes. Several slid down electric light wires to safety; lothrs crawled along an eighteen inch i ledge to other buildings; two leaped j from the fifth floor and were saved by striking electric light wires. The New Aveline hotel was a sixstory building of brick in the business center of the city. Its erection was begun in 1852 but it was not completed until several years later. In 1895 the building was extensively remodeled, and two stories were added. The hotel and furnishings were valued at SBO,OOO. Throughout the frame work of the interior was of wood, died like tinder from a half century’s seasoning and it burned with great rapidity. Within a quarter of an hour from the time the fire was discovered in the elevator shaft, practically the entire building was wrapped in flames. The whole interior became a roaring furnace and from basement to roof all was blazing at once. In rapid succession the floors fell to the basement, carrying their toll of dead. The Journal-Gazette this morning said: In the murk of the dying night, lighted up by the glare of the flames, shadowy forms dropped or climbed from upper windows of the hotel, and Other forms ran hither and to in the street below, terrified but brave and willing to help. From above cries—agonized, appealing cries for succor, were shouted, and from below came answering cries of and men toiled to rescue the imprisoned people and amid all—the glare and the roar and the shadows, death stalked and grasped his victims within the seething furnace. Choked with smoke, gasping out their last breath in the dark corridors, or less fortunate, writhing in the grasp of the flames, men and women on the inside were dying while those on the outside were striving to help them. The Aveline hotel in ten minutes was changed from one of men’s abiding places to a torture chamber; in an hour to a charnel house. When the flames had done their ; work, and the firemen saw steam in- i stead of fire and smoke rising from ' within the desolate walls, they turn- 1 ed their attention to the most ghast- ( ly task yet before them. Dead men and women were there below them, I how many no one knew, and they ' must be taken from the mass of wreck- 1 age. While yfet the streams of water were pouring in on the pile men began their explorations to bring out I the dead. Within the four bare walls * the work went on unceasing, through- s out the sunlight morning, the balmy ! afternoon, and all through the night The four walls were as the walls of ] a vast tomb. The sun beamed down , through the roofless structure upon the j toiling figures, upon the confused mass ( of twisted iron, broken and blackened wood and masonry. The sun . went down and the stars kept vigil throughout the night while the men worked with hand and pick and shovel. pausing now and then to work with more tender hands, because flesh and blood must be needs be touched with more reverence than stone and wood. And the watching crowds would shudder in horror at each pause, and silence would fall on the voluble throng < as blackened, broken trunks that had bnt a few hours before been full of life and strength and the beauty of manhood and womanhood were borne out from the ruins. Another dawn came, and still the army of searchers toiled on, more bodies were digged from the splntered, broken, grimy wreck, and every blackened corpse added to the heartbreak of it all, and the workers knew that down in the depths there were more human remnants to be reached. That is the story of the day of sorrow and horror, the story of the grav- ! est and greatest catastrophe Fort Wayne has known In the hundred years of her existence. The churchbells, catling the people to worship In the bright spring morning, rang the deathknell of a dozen or a score of people. The church- going throngs had their prayerful atten- ■ tion distracted by the raucious cries of the newsboys, calling out the extras telling the story of the disaster. In many pulpits the awful tragedy was touched upon by the preachers; at many altars there were prayers for the afflicted and for the dead, and the sunlight streaming through stained glass did not dispel the gloom l that lay heavy on thousands of hearts that ached for the suffering the dawn had risen upon. o— NOTICE TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

( If any one has any doubts as to the virtue of Foley’s Kidney Cure, they need only to refer to Mr. Alvin H. 1 Stimpson, of Willimantic, Conn., who, after losing- hope of recovery, on ac- . count of the failure of so many remedies, finally tried Finley's Kidney Cure, which he says was “just the thing’’ for him. as four bottles cured him completely. He is now entirely well and free from all the suffering incident to acute kidney trouble. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. — a — Kidney complaint kills more people than any other disease. This is due to the disease being so insidious that it gets a good hold on the system before it is recognized. Foley’s Kidney Cure will prevent the development of fatal disease if taken in time. THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. Orino Laxative Fruit Syrup is best for women ana ehiidien. Its mild action and pleasant taste makes it preferable to violent purgatives, such as pills, tablets, etc. Get the booklet and a sample of Orino at THE IIOLTHOUSE DRUG CO __o Mr. John Riha, of Vining. la., says, “I have been selling DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills for about a year and they give better satisfaction than any pill 1 ever sold. There are a dozen people here who have used them and they give perfect satisfaction in every case. I have used them myself with fine results.” Sold by B. Doolittle. o Mrs. S. Joyce, 180 Sullivan St., Claremont, N. H„ writes: “About a year ago I bought two bottles of Fo ley’s Kidney Cure. It cured me of a severe case of Kidney trouble of several years’ standing. It certainly is a grand, good medicine, and I heartily recommend it.” THE HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. o The trouble with most cough cures is that they constipate. Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup does not constipate, but on the other hand its lavative principles gently move the bowels. It is pleasant to take and it it especially recommended for children. as it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. Sold by B.
