river broke loose at the Eleventh street
bridge in Covington last evening. The
ice had been gorged there eight or ten
feet high and when it broke the ice

STATE HOUSE IN ASHES.

The Capitol at Harrisburg, Pa, Is De-
stroyed by Fire, Entail ing Loss OF
O76O,OOO.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Feb. ga fire.
which started in the rooms of Lieut..
Gov. Lyon yesterday swept through
the ancient Capitol of Pennsylvania,
and within an hour and half after
the breaking out of the flames the
structure was in ruins The senate
and house were about to reconvene for
their afternoon session when the fire
burst through the walls and the law
makers were driven for their lives to
the open air. No one was killed, but a
number of people were in the building
trying to save furniture and other
effects when the dome fell in and
quite a number of people were cut and
bruised by falling debris or half smoth-
cred by smoke.
The most valuable of the state and
legislative records in the building were
saved, but the records and statistics of
the department of public instruction,
which included much valuable infor-
nation bearing upon the public schools
OF the state, were destroyed. The leg
islature will find temporary home to-
day, the senate in the rooms of the su-
preme court and the house in the
United States district court. The leg
islature will at once take steps to have
the Capitol rebuilt.

600, on which there is an insurance of
but 100000. The origin of the fire is
unknown.
During the morning session of the
senate smoke was smelled, but could
not be traced and but little heed was
given to it. Shortly before 10 o'clock
as the president of the senate was rap
ping that body to order, puff of smoke
made its way into the chamber. Some
little excitement followed. Chief Clerk
Smiley improvised hasty bucket bri-
gade made up of senate attaches and
senator's. This amateur fire force
traced the fire to the apartments of
Lieut. Gov. Lyon on the floor above the
senate chamber. An ak speedily shiv-
cred the woodwork and a column of
flame shot out. The efforts Of the
bucket brigade were useless, as the dry
and rotten timbers composing the raf-
ters and joists of the building burned
like gun cotton and the fire ate its way
downward and through the ceiling into
the senate chamber.
When it seemed that the building
was in serious danger the senate at
taches turned their attention to saving
the senate and state records and the
handsome furniture, and before this
work was completed many of the men
were laboring at the risk of their lives
in a sitting atmosphere and amidst
falling brands.
The Capitol was a handsome brick
structure situated on knoll in a park
Of ten acres. 1t was 1s0 feet long, 80
feet wide, with a circular Ionic portico
in front and was surmonnted by a fine
dome. 1t was begun in 1919 and first
occupied January 2s, 1899. The orig
inal cost of the structure, including
grounds, was 1921, ,6ss, but since its
erection it has been frequently embel-
lished at large cost. Within the last
two years 1t has been remodelled at
cost of $150,000 and the handsome fres-
Going in the legislative chambers was
uncompleted.

his defeat to the opposition of the
Mormon church leaders. Henderson
was the church candidate, but, despair

on Rawlins.

Four Minutes
OF Your Time.

While we tell you about our "Gol-
den Fleece" tea. The tea you drink
should be
/. Pure.
2. Wholesome.
3. Pleasant.
4. Economical,
and Golden Fleece" justly claims pre-
eminence on these grounds.
The manipulation of tea is an art in
which the Chinaman excels, and in
many of the inferior kinds the quality
is infinitely deteriorated thus:
"The dust of the leaf is mixed with
clay and manipulated into the form of
the orninary leaf" This with the ap-
propiate term "lie" tea.
"Tea leaves which have already
been used are again manipulated and
rolled into shape and sold as genuine
tea."
In buying and drinking "Golden
Fleece" tea you get perfection being
the result of civilized labor and intel
ligence.
Golden fleece" is undoubtly the
best SOC tea in the market today. Are
you using itP If not, try it the first
opportunity.
Golden Fleece" is making friends
wherever it goes, and it is going into
new homes every day.
Golden Fleece" will take the place
of any Japan tea you ever drank, no
matter what the price you have been
paying.
Golden Fleece" once tried, always
used.
We shall be glad to give you sample
OF Golden Fleece" feeling sure that
if you try it you will use no other. We
want this name Golden Fleece" to
run in your mind from now until you
want tea again, so you will ask for
Golden Fleece" Think of it when
you are sleeping tea think of it when
you are pouring tea, think of it when
drinking tea, think of it when you
start to buy more tea, keep thinking
about it until you reach Bowlby &
