The Other Side OF It.

EDITOR JOURNAL:-I wonder II it
ever occurred to anybody that the cy-
clist might have something To COM
plain Of. Now, no sensible person,
even though he rides a bicycle, will for
a moment claim the reckless riding,
which we all see done, TO be defensi-
ble, but there are many vino apply
themselves to the task in perfectly
proper manuer, and who would never
knowingly annoy any pedestrian. L
claim TO belong To this class. and
while l do not intend this as q COM
plant, could name a great many in
stances where l have been abused and
insulted by people who call them
selves ladies and gentlemen because
they were abliged 10 move foot or so

sorry indeed to zee any action taken
which would prevent riding on tue
sidewalks, as that would practically
mean no riding at all. that is 50 far a.

poses is concerned.
do not believe there is any need of
uch action nor is there any need for
the annoyance referred 10. Let the
pedestrian use little common sense.
Never trouble yourselves to look
around, just quietly step a little to
one side and the rider will always find
the opening. 1t takes no more room
than if he was walking. Let US be
friends about this, for l want to ride
my wheel, and 1 will help 90 for the

CABINET MEETING.

Devoted Almost Entirely to a Discus,

Washington. D. c., Dec. 21.-Today's
cabinet meeting was devoted almost
entirely to the discussion Of the oper-
alton Of the civil service law. The
resolution adopted by the senate last
Friday. called upon the executive
heads of the several departments of
the government for information con-
corning the application of civil service
to their departments and for an ex.

If any, notifications ought 10 be made
in it. was discussed. 1t can be said
upon authority BY three members of
the cabinet, that no definite policy was
outlined. beyond a determination to
maintain the principle of the civil SER
vice. No effort was made today to
adopt a reply to the senate that would
embody uniform expressions OF opn-
ion. 1t is likely each member Of the
cabinet will prepare a reply embody-
ing such suggestions as he may deem
proper.

KANSAS CITY FIRE.
THE BIGGEST AUDITORIUM WEST
OF CHICAGO, WITH HOTEL
Connections, BURNED.
Fire Started in the Theater. But Soon
Enveloped the Entire Building
Many Narrow Escapes Reported
Loss Will Reach $450, 0O0-History
of the Structure.

Kansas City. Dec. 21.-The Audi
torium, the largest and finest play
house west of Chicago, and the Audi
torium hotel, one of the most fashion
able of family hostelries in the city
situated at Holmes and Ninth street,
were Quilted by fire that started in the
theater part shortly after l O'Clock this
morning. The 100 hotel guests escaped
in safety. although many were compell-
ed to leave the building in their night
clothes. The loss on the entire proper.
ty, which is now owned by Alex. Fras'
err, a local business man, will aggregate
$3.50 900. The aggregate insurance
amounts to but $S5 900. Owing to a
high insurance rate. a great deal Of the
insurance had been allowed to lapse.
The fire originated in an unoccupied
room on the sixth floor Of the theater,
and resulted from the crossing Of cleo
trio light wires. 1t was first noticed by
Night Clerk Haak, who turned in an
alarm at 1:12.
Haak Immediately awoke the guests.
They included many families and chill
dren of all ages, and the greatest con-
fusion ensued. For a time it seemed
that the flames would be confined to a
single floor, but after it had apparently
been gotten under control it burst forth
again and defied all efforts Of the fire.
men, Many of the guests, assured after
the first alarm that the fire would not
spread. returned to their rooms.
Delay in getting a continuous stream
on the fire. however, enabled 1t to get
beyond the firemen's control. The
flames spread rapidly along the tier OF
rooms on the fifth and sixth floors. and
soon communicated with the hotel
through the small apertures in the fire
wall which separated it from the thea,
ter. Once in the hotel, the flames were
beyond control.
The excitement broke out among the
hotel guests afresh. and hurried scram-
bles to save their personal effects n
sued.
Everything available was pressed in
to service as receptacles for the valu-
ables. and before the guests had been
ordered from the building a second
time, the bulk of their belongings had
been carried out. More timid ones who
had fled from their room in their night
clothes at the start, were given quarters
in a neighboring hotel.
In the theater, the Woodward stock
company. which had been the standing
attraction since the reopening OF the
playhouse last October, managed to
save the bulk OF its property.
Early after the second burst OF
flames. the firemen gave up hopes Of
saving the structure. Although the
building in which the fire started Is
practically a one-front annex to the
Auditorium building. there were open.

the two buildings one, and made them
both an easy prey for the flames, once

firemen were confined to the outside.

heroically. but within a few hours both
theater and hotel had been Quilted, the
biggest part of the roof had fallen in,
and about one-third of the west wall OF

The Auditorium was built in 1896 by
Colonel George w. Warder at a cost o!

ropolitan style. After another failure,
the bank traded the property last Octo-
Der to Alexander Fraser. and the latter
leased the property to Paxton 4 Burgis.
Fraser expended $92, 900 in improve.

theater. Paxton & Burgis presented
the Woodland stock company and a list
of first class specialties at set prices OF
not over 10 and 25 cents. The plan
proved a decided success. and for the
first time since its inception the Audi,
forum. which had booked some of the
best companies on the road, became a

Within a recent period a remedy has
been discovered prepared solely to cure

the result Of injuries ~receiveGrin jump
ing from a third story window. Miss
Herbert's death was ~traceah,e Indirect
ly to an accident while HORSEBACK ric>
ing in her native state of Alabama
about W months ago.
She has always been enthusiastically
fond of riding, and while paying a visit
to her old home, started home on a
horse that had not been broken. 1t
stumbled and she was thrown violently
to the ground, sustaining severe in,
juries to her back.
She was brought back to Washing
ton. but recovery was exceedingly SLOW.
and it was not until last Sunday that
she was able to 60 out Of the house. On
that day she went driving for the first
time since the accident, and the attend
ing physician noticed considerable i'm
%provement. This morning she was IN
usually bright and cheerful and chatted
intimately with her married sister. Mrs.
Micou, who made her home with the
ex-secretary and his daughter.
1t had been Miss Herbert's custom
for several years to take her breakfast
in her room, and later prepare for the
social obligations OF the day. Shortly
before 10 o'clock she dressed to go
down stairs. but instead of descending
to the parlor went to the rear room Of
the third story from which she fell, sus-
tanning injuries which caused her death
before DR.. Johnson could arrive.

called on to take her place in the circle
of cabinet ladies, where she met with
success in the heavy social response

was exceedingly popular and her pres,
ence was sought at all gatherings. Her
social triumphs here were repeated in
Europe, where she went to attend the
great naval demonstration at Kiel
Within the past ear she has enjoyed
robust health, but this only induced her
to redOuble her devotion to ou~t-of-dooI
sports and exercises, and it was while
regaining her health by outdoor riding
that she met the accident hat indirect,

MAKING
Populist Indians Worrying about the
Debtor Glass.

Chicago, Dec. 21.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Wichita. Kan.
says:
Information has been received at the
office OF the United States marshal at
South McAlcster. l. T., to the effect
that the lawless sentiment among the
Indians has formed a conspiracy to
burn the United States court house
there. and other federal court build
ings in the Indian territory.
The burning OF the United States
court house at Ardmore, the other day
with all its records. is believed to be the
first attempt to carry out the plot. The
Indians are said to be growing more
FESTIVE as the first of January ap-
%proaches, as upon that day all Of their
trial courts will be abolished. and in
the federal counts have full Jurisdiction
in litigation affecting the Indians.
Under the Indian law one Indian can.
not sue another for a debt OF any nat.
ure. There are vast numbers of notes
held by such Indians against their less
provident brethren, now uncollectable
which a be sued on and collected as
soon as the Indians come in under the
federal law. 1t will ruin many thou.
sands of Indians who have heretofore
been considered wealthy, and it is the
discomfort Of the debtor class that il
thought to be responsible for the plot
to burn the court records and impede
as far as possible the administration
OF justice in the United States courts
Detectives are watching the movements
OF the suspected Indians.
