HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE

CRIPPLE CREEK, COLORADO, IN RUINS. im ? Several Squares Swept by <hfe Flames —Plague Spots Wiped Out— Damage Over sl,boo,oOO < with but Light Insurance—3,ooo People Homeless. * Eight Blocks Butin. One million dollars is a conservative estimate, of the damage done by fire at Cripple Creek, Colo. The amount of insurance, as nearly as tan be arrived at, will not exceed $200,000. When the fire broke out in a second-hand store the danger of a big conflagration was not perceived, and it was thought that the firemen, who Were early onifie scene, would have the flames under control in a very few minutes. But in a short time the fire had spread to the adjoining buildings and a brisk wind sprung up. Theq it was conceded by all that at least half a dozen buildings on the corner of Meyers and Third streets would go, and the occupants “Megan tomove. out. but maiij had waited too long and were unable to save their goods. Some barely escaped with their lives. Several women were dangerously burned. Every minute added fury to the flames, and when the. fire had spread several doors on either side the danger to the city was observed, but no one could realize how great the damage would be. The heat became so intense that buildings on the north side of Meyers street took fire. Then it was that occupants of stores and offices began to make preparations to save their possessions. Every wagon in town was pressed into service. Not a tenth part of the goods were saved. By the time the postoffiee had caught it became evident that the only way to stop the progress of the fire was to blow up the buildings with dynamite. This was done nnder the supervision of the firemen, and a number of buildings had to be sacrificed before the fire had reached them. The fire started about 1 o’clock, and by 4 it had demolished the blocks in Meyers between Third and Fifth streets, and in

Nearly fill the buildings between Third and Firth streets in Eaton were destroyed.’ Many people lost everything they had. Twenty Thousand Letters Destroyed. The property in Meyers street was occupied in the most part by saloons. The two variety theaters, Topic and Hollang's, were there, and innumerable dance halls. Grace Clifton was badly burned about the face and hands. J. Anderson, while placing a charge of dynamite under the Sisters’ hospital to blow it up, had a leg torn off by a premature explosion. The postoffice in Bennett Avenue is a total wreck, only the vault standing. Twenty thousand letters and thousands of packages” were destroyed. The First National Bank vault is standing. All the books and papers were .saved, and the bank opened for business while its building was burning In a room adjoining the Bimetallic Bank. The Episcopal and Congregational churches were destroyed. The city jail, In which were confined about twenty prisoners, has only the iron cages left. The prisoners were released. The Sisters’ hospital was blown up after the patients had been removed tblhe Pike’s Peak hospital. Mayor Steele ordered all saloons closed, which prevented lawlessness. A report was started that thieves. were busy and a hundred deputies were at once sworn in and the militia was called out, but no depredations were committed. Thousands of people were made homeless, but they were all given shelter by the generous people of the town. The burned section is to be built up at once with brick and stone. Work of Rebuilding Beeun. Already the worn of rebuilding the burned district has begun. At a meeting of the City Council a resolution was passed allowing the erection of temporary buildings within the fire limits with the provision that all must be removed within sixty days to give place to buildings of stone and brick. Before nightfall fully twenty-five buildings were under way and quite a number are occupied. With 3,000 people rendered homeless in a day, of course lodging houses are in greatest demand, and many of these are rupidly progressing. At an early hour telegrams began coming to the Mayor from cities and towns of the State offering financial aid. These were turned over to the committee, who replied with thanks, but declining the kindly offers. Cripple Creek will take care of her own. Mayor Steele prepared a proclamation to the general public, saying that outside assistance Is not needed.

EGBERT KILLS FIVE PERSONS.

Peter Egbert, a Rockville, Ind., carpenter, H!2 years old and unmarried, Saturday morning, without apparent cause or provocation, shot and instantly killed Mrs. Herman Haschke and two children, nest door He then reloaded his gun, and, going up town, saw Sheriff W. M. Mull and Deputy Sheriff Sweem in the National Bank stairway. Egbert put up his weapon and shot the sheriff in the back of the head, killing IrtfiT instantly. Deputy Sheriff Sweem was at the bottom of the stairs and was shot in the right side of the neck, being instantly killed. Egbert then made his escape to the fair grounds, just outside of town. A posse was immediately organised and started in pursuit. Fifty or more men, armed with shotguns, rifles and pistols, surrounded the grounds. Here, when'Egbert found escape impossible, he fired a charge of buckshot into his own head and expired Immediately. Miss Florence Egbert, the sister of the murderer, when she heard the details of the horrible affair and that her own brother was the central figure of the various tragedies became frantic and died immediately from the shock; She was in bed suffering with typhoid fever. Egbert was about 21 years old and unmarried. He was d great, reader and studied Shakspeare much. His companions say hs frequently remarked that if

TRAILS OF DEATH LEFT.

Eigbt Persons Killed Outright In a Kansas Cyclone. - A cyclone swept through Clay County, Kansas Saturday night, leaving a trail of destruction and death to mark its visit. Eight persons were instantly killed and four fatally hurt, so far as known, although investigation is likely to add to this grewsome list. In addition a number of others were more or less seriously hurt, and property worth thousands of ~dotfacrß7 herds'or stock and growing crops became the plaything of the devastating tornado. To add to the terror of the occasion, the storm came at night, arousing the paniej stricken pebple from their slumber to face death in terrible form. There was scant warning, a few fleecy clouds in the evening giving no sign of the howling tempest that was tp descend three hours later. The list of killed, so far as reported, is as follows: E. Beltzor, Mrs. Beltzor, Jessie Hall, aged 5 years; Mrs. Ole Halverson, J. Haynes, Mrs. Frank Peterson, Selma Peterson, aged 10 years; Joseph Trembly. The fatally injured: John Morris, Frank Peterson, aged 40 years; Julia Peterson, aged 8 years; Mrs. Frank Wilkerson. ■A mile east of St. Joseph.the first victims of the storm were found. There dwelt a well-to-do Frenchman, Eli Beltzor, his wife and six children. The farm house and outbuildings were torn to pieces and Mr. Beltzor and his wife killed. The family were preparing to go into the cellar the storm struck them. Just east of there another farmer. Joseph Trembly,

was killed. None of the family, so far as can be learned, whs injured. Three miles south of Clifton several houses were torn down and a Sophs? killed. = The cyclone took tne people unawares. There had been indications of a heavy rain all day, with local showers, but no--body expected a storm. So far as learned, the victims were in their houses, and most of them had retired. The storm struck Peter Anderson’s house at 9:30 o’clock. This was about a mile from the starting point. The house was demolished in an instant. Every member of the Anderson family was injured. When they had extricated themselves from the debris they discovered that Anderson’s grandchild was missing. The dead body of the child was found in a ravine half a mile away. It evidently had been carried there by the wind. Anderson alarmed the neighbors who lived out of the track of the storm, and search was commenced for victims. A large number of cattle and horses were killed, and fruit in the storm’s track was ruined. It is impossible at this time to estimate the damage to buildings and other property. Heartrending tales of suffering are told by persons who visited the scenes of the storm. Many of the injured lay all night, pinned down by wreckage or paralyzed in the mud, while others crawled or hobbled across the country to a neighbor’s house. In several instances people were lifted into the air by the cyclone and carried for a distance, and then suddenly dropped. Buildings were liftbd up and then hurled to the ground with foree enough” to demolish them. The wife and daughter of John Morris were reading when the shock came. The house waadivided. The women managed to get out. when the wind picked them up, carried them 200 yards and let them safely down on a pile of straw, just away from the storm’s track.

FIGURING ON THE DEFICIT.

Officials Estimate the Total for the Fiscal Year Will Be $25,000,000. The treasury deficit for tne fiscal year ending June 30, 1890, will-be approximately $25,000,000. This, according to a Washington dispatch, is the opinion of officials and others best qualified to make an intelligent estimate of the result of the fiscal operations of the year. In his arihual estimates sent to Congress at the beginning of the present session, the Secretary of thfr Treasury estimated the receipts from customs during the fiscal year at $172,000,000. So far, with nearly ten months of the year gone, the customs re>ceipts have reachea about $137,000,000, with a fair prospect of increasing to $165,000,000 by the close of the year. The estimate of the receipts from internal revenue sources was $158,000,000. Up to this time they have reached $120,000,000 and It Is expected that the figures for the completed year will be about $146,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous screes are expected to slightly exceed the estimates of $15,000,000, making the total receipts for the year about $327,000,000. The Secretary’s estimate of the year’s expenditures was $362,000,000, which, according to his figures, would lcavq,a deficiency of $17,000,000. £ The actual expenditures, however, It is now thought, will aggregate about $352,000,000, or $10.000,000 less than Mr. Carlisle’s estimate in December last, so that the deficit at the close of the year, it is believed, will not show any very material change from Saturday's figures, $25,162,423. This makes the total deficit for the three fiscal years ending June 30, 1896, $136,561,812. 'At an dfcrly hour in the morning the police discovered a house to be on firs at Columbus, O. By breaking in the door they rescued Col. John A. Keith, well known in State and national Grand Army of the Republic circles, who was asleep and almost suffocated by the smoke.

An hour later a man dressed, in a heavy suit of dark clothes stepped up to the desk arid asked if I could, give him the room hevwas waiting for. I looked more closely and discovered that be was my Jewish friend from St. Louis. He had stepped Into an alcove opposite the elevator and had actually changed his clothes., there, where at least a score of have passed him.

The changes are in the form of a double list showing the old room numbers and the rooms to which the guests were golng. The boy came back In a few minutes. and, pushing his way through the crowd of guests at the desk, he laid down the list and sai();: ‘A gig and a saddle, sah.’ 1 . ‘ i “I told him that this was not a policy shop, but he said that the gentleman in 135 had said it was a gig and a saddle. The guest had crossed off a number iri eaich list and serit the boy back, thinking to have some fun.”

Simple Lives.

Machinery has not been introduced in Spain, and everything must be done by mauual labor. The peasants are in the fields from dawn till night, having no rest and leisure except on Sundays. Yet they are happy, as people living under a warm sun and generous climate generally are. Wisdom has taught them nrit to expect the Impossible, and they are t easily contented. Fun and laughter, a light heart ami gay temperament are the characteristice of the dwellers in the plains; healthy lives arid Tiiflueri'ees fvbich bea r good fruit. As a result of their toil many an acre, many a mile of the plain country will be seen at certain seasons gorgeous with the yellow flower of the saffron. This is in great demand in Spain; no kitchen Is without a large supply, and it is said to cause tbe yellow t.lnge that often (distinguishes the Spanish features. Otlier erops grown in the plains are Indian maize in great abundance and chick peas. The latter forms almost the staple food of the peasantry’, and Is the foundation of many Spanish dishes.

On- the second floor of one of our neatbusiness buildiNo. 125 VY est b ront street, is jffie home of Constable and Mrs, M. O. Briggs, and it was visited to-day for the purpose of speaking to Mrs. Briggs on a question of considerable 'weight to her. The reporter upon caHing found Mrs. Briggs a little indisposed (not, however, with her former complaint), but nevertheless in a very congenial mood. Upon inquiry as to the benefit she derived from me use of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pillq for I’ale People, she said: “About eighteen irisnths since I was taken down with selktic rheumatism in my lower limbs, especially my right leg. and so fierce was thevattack that I could not vralk at all. After trying various remedies, ail wirhou£»yail. a lady neighbor of mine, Mrs. Jbpn Yoder, who, I think, is now living >b Eldon, mentioned Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and said she bad used them for similar trouble and had found them very beneficial. I purchased a box of pills at F. Nesper & Co.’s drug store, and before I had taken all of the first box I began to feel much improved and the pain began to ease. I continued to take them, buying a second box, and when I had nearly finished the second box I was able to walk about as ably as ever and have not had an attack since. “I heartily endorse Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People and feel confident that anyone afflicted as I was could be easily restored to their usual health by their use.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain, in a condensed form, all the elements necessary to give new life And richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism. nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions,, all forms of w eakness either in male oFfemale.

That Extreme tired feeling affliets nearly everybody at this season. .The hustlers cease to push, the tireless gfow weary, .the energetic become enervated. You know just what we mean. Some men and women endeavor temporarily to overcome that Tired Fee'ing by great force of will. But this is unsafe, as it pulls ' powerfully upon the nervous system, which will not long stand such strain. Too many people “work on their nerves,” and the result is seen in unfortunate wrecks marked “nervous prostration,” in every direction. That tired Feeling is a positive proof of thin, weak, impure blood; for, if the blood is rich, red, vitalized and vigorotff, it imparts life and energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body. The necessity of taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla for that tire! feeling is,therefore, apparent to every one, and the good it will do you is equally beyond question.

“Tree of Ten Thousand Images.”

In his “Souvenirs de Voyage au Thibet,” Pere Hue speaks of a wonderful tree which had the strange habit of producing images and hieroglyphics upon Its leaves. Sometiipes religious figures take the place of the letters. He called she mysterious thing "the tree of one thousand images.” These imagfts are found on the leaves, on the stems, and on the trtmk. Near the temple of Buddha, In the village of Liousar, Thibet, this great tree flourishes. In 1891 Mr. William Rock\vel| started out to see this famous tree. He went to Liousar, a village of about eight hundred Inhabitants, and possessing an immense lamanerie. It shelters about three thousand lamas, or Buddhist priests. But it was in February, and the tree had no leaves. At last Monseigneur Biet, of the foreign mission, the Apostolic Vicar of Thibet, has just solved the mystery. The fake was explained to him by a lamd, who adjured bis faith and became a Catholic. The trick was simple enough, like every other trick when it Is found out. In the spring and In the summer, on dark nights, a lama, with his pockets full of hand stamps, climbs all through the tree and stamps the leaves with all sorts of holy Images and characters, the most numerous being tbe following formula: “Om mane padme om”—glory to Buddha in the lotus. This Is also stamped upon the bark, and the leaves and portion of the bark are sold to the visitors.

Summer Homes.

In the lake regions of Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, lowa and Dakota, there are hundreds of charming loealities jH’fcemuiently -fitted for summer "Somes. Nearly all are located on or near lakes, which have not been fished out. Theae, resorts ure easily reached hy rail-_ way and range in variety from the “full dress for dinner” to the flanfel-shirt costume for every meal. Among the list are names familiar to many of onr readers as the perfection of Northern summer resorts. Nearly all of the ’Wisconsin points of interest are within a short distance from Chicago or Milwaukee, and none of them are so far away from the "busy niarta of eivilixation’lJ.hat they eatl- . not be reached in a few hours of travel, by frequent trains, over the finest road in the Northwest —the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway.

Poisonous Plants.

Swamp sumach Is the most dreaded 0* poisonous plants. Curiously enough the cure for this poison grows closely beside It in the swamp districts, and Its name, “Impaticus,” suggest* the feeling one has when afflicted by the pate X 1 cores, for If ever one patient It is when attacked by this enemy of physical comfort. Jewelneed is another name for this p ison antidote. It is a plant growing a.ioui fwo feet high, bearing a pale yellow flower, spotted With, brown, with a hanging sac, broader than ong. The leaves and blossoms should be steeped and the poisoned parts bathed with the tea. Northern Wisconsin contains many’ acres of fine timber and farming lands, which are attracting much’attention from home seekers throughout the country. Tomeet the many requests for information relative to this section of the country, Frederick Abbot, Milwaukee, Wis., the Land Commissioner of the Wisconsin Central Itsilroad, has prepared a very handsome booklet, filled with maps, illustrations and much valuable information, which he will send free to any one requesting the same.
