HOTEL HORROR.

Greenvillc, April Tho Ende Hoo
tel, IL two-story brick building in this
place, was blown down or fell, about
one o'clock this morning. There were
nearly City guests in the house, most
of whom were asleep when the crash
occurred, and of this number thirteen
were injured and crushed beneath the
ruins, land suffered the terrible tortures
of cremation, The town has but IA
small fire department aud tho scenes
were horrible beyond description. The
fire department of sherman, over forty
miles away, was tclegraphed for bnt
was three hours in reaching the scene.
The cries aud screams and gronns and
struggles of the victims to free them
selyos were heard and Witnessed by Il
helpless multitude offs pectatOrs Chaos
appeared to ensliroud the scene and
paralyze those who looked on. This
morning an effort was madO to organ
ize force to clear away the debris
and recover the charred remains of
those who had persisted, and the work
has progressed with but little advance
mont up tilfnight.
Up 10 tonight the working force at
the rnins have recovered tho remains
OF four victims, but they are burned
past recognition. Business is entirely
suspended and sorrow aud gloom
shrouda tho entire community. Re-
lief movements will be organized
throughout Texas and contributions
for the sufferers will be taken in the
churches to- morrow.

The indications all point to radical
changes in the business of raising and
shipping cattle, in Kansas and other
western portions of the country. A
general tendency is manifested on the
part of the most experienced and
sagacious of the cnttemen to discard
the range system, and adept the plan
of inclosing the herds by fencing, and
of improving the quality of the stock
instead of handling large numbers of
common cattle by the present waste
full methods.
In this connection it may he remark
ed that the recent improvement in the
manner of transporting dressed cattle
over long distances il having greater
influence than any one thing, perhaps,
in the way of disposing the cattlemen
to change their mode of doing bust
ress. IL is safe to say that the dag is
not very far distant when no cattle
will be sent alive moro than one or
two hundred milus. They Will he
slaughtered not far from the feeding
grounds, and sent to the leading mar
kcts in refrigerator ears, thus greatly
decreasing, if not practically destroy
ing, the present live cattle traffic in
such places as Kansas City, st. Louis
aud Chicago.
We hear of preparations being made
for slaughtering beoves on large
scale ut several points in Kansas, Ne
braska and Colorado, and it is alreany
no uncommon thing for ear loads Of
beef to go east from this side of tho
Missouri river in refrigerator cars. As
long ago as 1925 dressed beef was
shipped successfully from Kansas City
to the Atlantic in this way 30 that tho
matter has passed beyond the expert
mental stage, and no doubt is left in
the length aud breadth of the land as
to the entire practicability of tho
method. High rates of freight may
still stand in the way of the rapid
growth of business on far western
roads, and some depend for living
upon the livestock traffic as it is now
conducted may oppose the change, but
the change will como. Rates have ON
eastern railroads been adjusted to tho
demands of the new traffic, no doubt
they will do so on western roads.
Those who cannot adapt themselves to-
the coming change in the business
may suffer, for trade mercilesslys
brushes those who stands in the VIZ
of its onward movomont.-T~
