a flag to the school and to hold exer-

the school authorities refused to allow
any exercises to he held on the school

been no one seems to know. The

THE JOHN WANAMAKER
STORE

THE JOHN WANAMAKER
STORE
is one of the principal sights
OF the city, occupying a full
city block, midway between the
Pennsylvania Railroad Station
and the Reading Terminal,
next to the new City Hall ;
within three minutes walk of
either depot, and conveniently
reached from any part of the
city or nearby country by the
fast trolley lines which transfer
direct to the store.
This store was begun in
1876 in the old depot OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Freight
Station. The building is
modest, old-fashioned, finely
lighted structure, containing
over IS acres of floor space,
all in use for the retail busi-
ness. The new system of Dry
Goods business was originated
by the proprietor, who intro
duced into the United States
manv new customs, chiefly
that of not only inviting, but
insisting upon the return Of
goods that for any reason failed
to please.
For eighteen years the store
has stood staunchly for accu-
rate statements in the press
and at its counters. 1t main
tains fixed prices, and its
prices have become the STAN
dard Of value on almost all ar
ticles it sells. Why shouldn't
it be so, when any article re-
turned in the same order in
which it was sold is like a
cheque on a bank-met with
instant payment Of the amount
it represents?
The store contains So dis
tinct selling department, and,
as can be easily seen, there is
no other stock in the United
States at retail so large and

storage was delusion and a snare and
that butter wouldn't keep in cold storage
and be good anyhow. A Kansas City
man arose at this and declared that he
had held a lot Of butter in cold storage
for three months during the summer just

considered that while il might be a good
scheme to have a place where the butter

TEN HORSES BURNED.
A Disastrous Fire Causes a Serious Loss to

A Disastrous Fire Causes Serious Loss to
Green & KaIe.
Ten horses died from suffocation in a
fire at $40 this morning in Green &
Kale's barn, near the corner of Laurent
str eet and Kansas avenue.
There appears TO be little doubt that
tn G ire was incendiary. The barn is a
new one, a substantial twO-s story brick
structure, and there was nothing from
which it could have caught fire spontan-
eOusly. There was less than half a ton
Of hay in the loft The loft opens onto
the alley with a lattice door and directly
under this door stood a wagon. A man
by getting on the wagon could easily
start fire through the lattice doOr- The
IRE started, as nearly as can be judged,
in this very place, and this strenghthens
the assumption that the fire was incen-
diary
The alarm for the fire was sent in from
box IA, and the firemen from station No.
1, who were the first to arrive, heard the
GrOans of agony from the i'm prIsOned
horses. Before they could get into the
building the grOans had ceased and
VIII en- entrance was finally made not
one Of the unfortunate beasts was alive.
The fire. which started in the NOW. b ad
run down the hay chutes connecting
with each manger, so that the horses re-
ceived the full benefit of all the smoke.
One or two of them were burned about
the head and neck, but the death Of all
was due to suffocatiOn.
The building was saved. The fire was
confined principally to the loft The roof
was not damaged, and the floor only
slightly The barn is separated from
Green s. Kale's new store by a continu-
GUS shed, the barn occupying the rear
portion of the lot Had the fire smoul-
dered much longer undiscovered the
main store would have been in serious
danger.
Messrs. Green & Kale estimate their
loss this way:
Ten horses a $50 observation-disclosures 5000
Loss on harness 125
Loss on building 1OO
Total. 1928
The property is insured with $500 on
the building, $500 on the horses and $50
the harness.

ON WITH THE BRIDGE.

or Rather the Bridge Floor-It Needs
Repair.
The condition of the Kansas avenue
bridge grows worse daily. The street
commissioner now receives several calls
every day to make repairs. The planks
are giving out one by one and they are
being broken continually.
When the contract to repair the bridge
was let to 0. Swanson it was contemplat-
ed that the work would be completed be-
fore this. He was allowed 80 days in
which to finish the repairs but the limit
expired several days ago and not thing
has been done.
The contractor says that the delay IS
caused by failure to secure lumber
Nearly everything used must be Of oak
and the pieces had to be especially saw
ed. The lumber is expected daily. but
meanwhile the street commissioner Is
busy keeping the bridge from being i'm
pas5able.
hir. Swanson says ne viii not wait for
the trouble between the mayor and coun-
ell to be settled, but will do the work
without the supervision of a city en-
piuoor.
