LAND VALUES RAISED
Effect of the Advance in
Wheat Values.
HELPS ALL CLASSES OF TRADE
The Rise in Prices of Grain Causes
Great Excitement In San
Francisco.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 16.-The recent
and ell-founded increase in the prices
of wheat and barley has already caused
a demand for and enhanced the value of
grain lands. Practically all over 81 a
GENITAL is profit to the holder of wheat,
and the 30 cents and over advance a
GENITAL means just that percentage of
gain to the grower or the dealer. Cali
fornia is to be $4,000, 900 or $4,000, coo
richer than was anticipated, and crop
of leesees, with some purchasers, has
already appeared.
1t is calculated that each advance Of
10 cents GENITAL in the price of wheat
represents an increase of So an acre in
the land that produces the grain.
Farmers are not the only benefciaries.
San Francisco savings banks are also
greatly advantaged by the increased
value of their securities or the land in
those cases in which they have been
com PEELED to foreclose tor debt.

LONDON, Oct. 36.-The Daily News
publishes the following dispatch from
Rome:
The vatican, although in favor of Mr..
Mckinley, disapproves of Archbishop
Ireland's letter, because it openly mixes
religion and politics, which the vatican
desires to keep separate in the United
States. 1t is feared the letter will
displease the Eastern and Southern
Irish Catholics who are for Bryan. 1t is
probable that Instructions will be sent
to Monsignore Martinelli, the papal
delegate, concerning the attitude of the
Catholic clergy.

More Chicago New Women Arrested
For Gambling.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Another poolroom
patronized by women has been raided
by the police. Seventeen women and
two men were arrested by detectives in
room 6 of the Ricardo hotel, 168 Clark
street, and locked up at the Harrison
street police station. Unlike the women
arrested several weeks ago on the South
Side. the prisoners were not fashionable
women, but we're from the middle class,
apparently the wives of small shopkeep-
ers and artisans.
The arrests came about through the
refusal of the manager of the place to
allow mulatto women to patronize the
place after she had played once. With
the desire tor revenge she determined to
retaliate and at once swore out warrants
for Ralph Doe, keeper of the establish
ment, and for it's inmates. Charles
Ropy, the man who was found in the
room, was with the women, as was Ed
ward Dunn, the hotel-keeper, who was
sent along as reward for his efforts to
warn the women of the presence of the
detectives.
The Ricardo hotel is one of the Euro
pean hotel found in great numbers along
Clark street.

BURNED TO DEATH.

Children Lost Their Lives While Par
ents Were at a Political Meeting.
New WHATcoM. Wash, Oct. 10
Three children of J. F. Miller burned to
death last night four miles north of Lyn-
den, in this county. and about eighteen
miles from here. Frank Boise and an
other of the Miller children are go badly
burned that they are not expected to
live.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller came to What
com to take part in the Populist parade,
leaving their four children at home with
Frank Boise of Tacoma, who was visit
ing the family. The house took fire
during the night in some manner un-
known, and it is supposed most of the
inmates were suffocated. The house,
which was a story and a half frame
structure, was burned to the ground.
The eldest child was IA and the young
est 8. A messenger arrived this morn
ing, saying that the other child and Mr..
Boise cannot live. Boise has wife and
children at Tacoma. He formerly trav-
eled for the Washington Blank Book
Company, and later lived in Yakima
county.

SEATTLE, Oct. ia special to the
st-Intelligencer from Whatcom says:
Boise died shortly before IL O'Clock,
having been horribly burned from his
waist up in his efforts to save the chill
dren, four of whom were upstairs.
He was conscious up to a short time
before his death, and able to talk freely.
His story in substance is as follows:
Some time before going to bed down
stairs with the little boy years old, he
rose and built a hot fire in the kitchen
stove, and then went back to bed. He
was awakened about II o'clock, he
thought, by smoke and heat. He
dropped the little boy out of the win
dow, pulled on his trousers and went up
stairs. He awakened the children there,
and took one of them, a girl years old,
in his arms and carried her down, and
said to the eldest girl, aged 16: go
down with the youngest child" Then
he supposed them safe, the other girl,
aged 7, following. But it appears that,
instead of going out of the front door, as
they might have done, the children
tried to get out by the kitchen. They
were overcome close by the door, and
burned to death. The girl saved is
terribly burned. but may recover. Boise
ran to a neighbours quarter of mile
away, and back 10 another neighbours
nearer by, leaving the flesh from his
hands on the gate at one place and on
the window glass at another. There
was no chimney in the house. The
>etove was poor one, and the pipe pro-
jected through the shingle roof, where
the fire doubtless caught.
