FIRE AT KEDDING.
A Large Amount of Valuable Business
Property Burned.

n
Property Burned.
REDDING., CAL, July 13.-At II p. m.
last night fire broke out in Willard &
Yields store, and proved to be one OF
the most disastrous that ever struck the
town. The water supply was entirely
inadequate. The fire consumed Willard
q Yields store, Mrs. M. A. Mitchell's
millinery store, John Hazinger's boot
and shoe shop and Martin Parkinss new
dwelling, all on the east side of Market
street; Olney's saloon, on the
corner of Market and Tehama,
Byer's notion store, Menzel Brothers
shop, and Adams's boot and shoe shop,
the fremont hoteland Craddock's stable
on the west side of Market street. Much
damage was done to goods carried from
the buildings on the west side of the
alley from the fremont hotel, and north
side of Tehama street. At one time it
seemed impossible to save Odd Fellows
hall, the Breslauer buildings and the
Bush block. Fortunately the wind was
not high and by tearing down portion
of Nathan s fruit store and using buckets,
the fire was prevented from crossing
Butte street. 1t is impossible to estimate
the damage at this time, but it is very
heavy for the losers.
The total loss is estimated at from
$4,000 to $4,000. Following is list Of
the losers with estimated losses and in
surance:
Willard & We'll, loss, SIS, 5000; insur-
ance, $4,000.
e.. Farliner, loss, $4,000; insurance,
$4,000.
M. A. Mitchell, loss, 50 900; insurance,
81 900.
Frank Thompson, loss, $4,000; in
surance, $4,000
John Craddock, loss, $4,000; insur-
ance, $4,000.
Martin Parker, loss, 81 800; insurance,
81, 800.
Menzel Bros, loss, SIS, 900; insurance,
$4,000.
Scattering, $4,000; insurance, $1,000.
At midnight it was under control. but
still burning brightly. A number OF
heat prostrations occurred, but no Sc
rious accidents. Brick blocks will
be built over the burnt district.
The Willard & We'll building,
in which the fire originated, occu-
pied the site on which the new
$40, 900 Masonic temple is to be built.
The residence of Martin Parker was lost
on the sole account of an inadequate
water supply. The fire department was
crippled with rotten hose.
At this writing the origin of the fire
is unknown, but it is known to have
| bursted out of j. G. Farliner's furniture
store under Willard & Weils's roof, and
communicating to the adjoining build

INDICATIONS OF MURDER.
The Bodies of a Man and Two Stolen
Horses Found.

PHOENIX, Ariz., July 13.-Tbe body of
man has been found near Hole-in-
Rock, seven miles from town, the indi-
cations being that he was murdered.
His clothing and flesh are gone, nothing
being left to identity the remains. The
back part of the skull was smashed in as
with some blunt instrument. Several
months ago two fine horses were stolen
from the ranch of Oscar Gibbs, and the
bodies of the horses were today found
near the body OF the dead man. The
horses had been lariated to giant cacti,
and all were starved to death. 1t is
thought the later find may have some
connection with horse-stealing. An in
quest will be held tomorrow.

THAT TERRIBLE GRIPPE.
What It Really Is Explained by One Z
the Best Informed Men in America.

The President of one of the leading New
York Medical colleges. in conversation with the
writer the other evening, said.
La Grippe the Russian influenza, that has
caused so much talk, is more severe affection
tn people usually think. 1t arises mysteriously
and appears to have its origin in the atmos-
phere. The last time it visited America was in
1903, and it came them as now, from Asia. The
name influenza comes from the suggestion
that the malady was due to the influences of
the heavenly bodies, but more modern science
has discovered that it is due to the changes in
the electrical conditions. Whatever may be
the cause, it is a strong congestion of the blood
vessels and mucous membrane principally in
the head and throat and nothing but strong
stimulants will check this congestion and keep
the blood actually circulating. For this pur-
pose know ofnothipg better than pure whisky,
and believe uffy 8 Pure Malt TO be the best
and purest whisky known to the world.
Formerly this influenza was said to precede
an epidemic of the plague, and the person who
was about to be taken with the latter, has as
preliminary, fit of sneeziug Now it preeedes
worse epidemic than the plague, namely. the
terrible pneumonia. its beginning is slight, but
back, chest and head; sore throat and lack
are some of the symptoms of this dread disease.
Upon the slightest approach of any of these
symptoms, nervous feeling, or lassitude, resort
should be had to pure whisky, which is the
only certain means of breaking up this cpl
dsmic before it secures hold upon the system
or check iG when it becomes started. Care
should be taken, however, to secure only that
which is pure, as the article above named Ger.
tainl, is

if they are attended to when they are
young. A dressing of manure, ashes and
lime in the fall will be of great advantage.
Where the trees are thick they should be
thinned out. Too many trees prevent
rapid growth and extend the time when a
grove is well shaded. A single large tree
is better than two small ones.
William Falconer says in the Albany
Caltiudtor, that there is current idea that
arti6cially grown mushrooms are not as
good or well favored as are natural or wild
ones, but this is a great mistake; in fact
the contrary is the truth, and there is
not more delicious vegetable on the face
of the earth than plump, fresh, young
mushroom. And what delieacyl Mush-
rooms are healthfnl, digestible. nutritious
and powerfully invigorating; but they
must be used when they are young and
fresh.
He who experiments carefully and re-
peatedly under various circumstances as
regards breeds and feeding must reach
the certain conclusion that hens do now,
and have for the past twenty years in
this country, paid high profit. 1t is also
true that the difference between the money
paid out for feeding fowls and the same
gained from their produce tends constantly
to increase, as is evident from COMPARE
son of the market rates through series of
years. In other words, poultry keeping
continually grows more profitable.
1t is better to apply manure thick
than to attempt TO make it go as far as
possible by spreading it on in thin layers.
In the one case it must nourish more
plants than it possesses nutrition for the
purpose, and in the other case the plants
will have a suficiency and produce more
than if the supply is deficient. Plants
waste a portion of the manure in the
growth of stalks and leaves that are I'M
salable, and if they can be made to yield
more at less expense of growth the
manure will give better results and the
profit will be greater.

HINrs TO POULTRY FARMERS.


Perhaps no branch of stock raising has
been improved so much or made as profit
able within the past decade as poultry
raising. At the time of the Centennial
the use of incubators was well known, but
they had not been perfected. At the pres
ent day they are extensively used, and the
raising of early broilers for the New York
and Philadelphia markets is now lead
ing industry along the line of the Camden
and Atlantic Railroad, and the business Is
increasing. The town of Hammonton has
now about thirty broiler farms, ranging In
capacity from 1000 to 5000 broilers every
ten weeks, and at Ellwood and Dunbarton,
on the same railroad, are two of the larg
est establishments in the United States,
the buildings at the latter point being
nearly one-fourth of mile in length if
placed together, while those at Hammonton
would reach a much greater distance. AT
SMYRNA, Del, there is also very large
broiler establishment, and other points
may be mentioned as being interested in
the industry.
Careful experiments show that the food
necessary to produce one pound of broiler,
is five cents, and the chick should weigh
two pounds when ten weeks old, thus max
o ing the cost of food for q two-pound broller
ten cents. But this is not all the cost.
The chicks are brooded in buildings from
rs to 100 feet long, the heat being pro-
vided with hot-water pipes, the water be-
ing heated with a stove, which Is sur
rounded with a water jacket. Formerly
the pipes were placed below the floor, and
the heat brought up through tube, but
now the system of overhead pipes, under
which the chicks nestle at night, has been
found more advantageous, and Will be
adopted. The cost is therefore increased
by the coal used for warmth, and the in
terest on capital invested in buildings and
heating arrangements The principal cost
is the eggs, as they are worth about three
cents each in winter, and as many eggs do
not hatch the cost of the chicks depends
upon the number Matched. After this
they must be raised to a marketable age,
and in so doing there IS also some loss. If
the chicks do not entail over twenty cents
cost each before they are marketed they
will give fair profit.
The raising OF broilers is done in the
winter season, and principally by these
who cannot devote their time to stock
feeding. such as frllit-growers. The prices
obtained are very high during some sea-
sons. the best prices being in April, for
chicks weighing not over one and a half
pounds each, and very often they bring
fifty cents pound They are shipped
dressed and packed in boxes or barrels, as
there is no demand for them alive, and
each season the demand has beer. greater
than the supply. 1t is business that has
its proportion Of risks and disadvantages,
and to be successful one must begin with
few and gradually extend operations.
