MICHIGAN NEWS SUMMARY.
Dolngs of the Week Recorded in a
Brief Style.
CONCISE AND INTERESTING.
Roof of New Theater Collar ses at De-
trolt Killing Twelve Men and Severely
Iujuring Nearly Score OF others
Our Troops Go TO Cuba.
Dreadful Disaster at Detroit.

The new Wonderland building, on
Monroe avenue, near the Campus Mar
thus, Detroit, was nearing completion
and was almost ready for. dsdieatiop.
as a playhouse for the people when
one of the most Terrible eastrephes~ &C.
Cured ever known in the history of
the Michigan metropolis.
A newly-patented roof, was just be-
ing completed. 1t consisted of heavy
trusses laced between with iron rods
in which was laid four inches of
cement and on this thick layer of
concrete. This made an absolutely
fire-proof roof and it was also of great
weight.
There were about 40 men employed
in the structure, when, without an in
stant's warning, the entire roof fell in
upon them carrying the upper gallery
floor and an immense amount of seat
folding and temporary work down to
the lower floor. The workmen were
buried under an indescribable mass of
debris consisting of heavy iron and
steel work-broken and twisted as
though they were lath-timbers of all
kinds, brick, cement and mortar.
Fortunately but small portion of
either wall fell or it is likely not
man in the building would ever have
escaped alive. The walls were left
standing in q dangerous condition.
The noise of the falling, crushing,
grinding mass was followed by the
cries and groans of the poor fellows in
the ruins The fire department and
hospital ambulanccs were on the scene
in very short time and even then the
work of rescue had been begun by
spectators who rislSed their lives under
the dangerous walls Nm immense
crowd soon blocked the street. Within
half an hour seven mangled forms had
been removed and sent TO the hospitals
and morgue. and the work was con-
tinued until 12 dead bodies had been
removed and Is badly injured work
men had been sent to the hospitals.
Two of the latter will probably die.
While the work of rescue was going
on at night 10y the aid of electric lights
which had been hastily put in, por-
ton of the east wall fell when about
25u persons were in the building. Most
OF the brick fell outside the structure,
however, and no one was severely in
jurcd, although a score were scratched
and bruised in their efforts to reach
the street.
The owners of the building, the
architect and the contractors declare
that they cannot say what was the
cause of the catastrophe. But thor
ough investigation will be made and
the blame placed if possible. Mayor
Maybury called u mass meeting of citi-
zens at which 81 900 was raised as a
nucleus of fund to assist the families
of the dead and injured. The financial
loss was about $4,000.

tract allowing the ID. & L. n. TO use
their tracks into Columbus that the
d. &c l.. n. will have to build a line
from Peoria to Columbus The road is
in straitened circumstances and nu-
merous claims have been allowed by

The Moauia:n CITY Road.

Clay 1rland informed the ISosPES-
DENT yesterday that the people Of
Mountain Home. Idaho, were MAX
ing big effort to build a wsgon
road from that place to Mountain
City, in order to control the trade of
the northern part of Ell5o county.
Should they succeed Elko will suffer.
In conversing about the matter Mr..
lrland said the road between here
and Mountain City could be short
ened ten miles and a better road
made than there LOW is by The ex-
penditure Of about $1,000. If this
matter was properly laid before the
commissioners, they might see their
way clear to furnish part, if not all, of
the money necessary to do the work.
Ia case that t'.e revenues of the
county would not justify that outlay
the business men of Elko should take
the matter In hand and raise suffic-
lent fumes to put the road in good
condition. Mountain City Is looking
up and the prospects are that before
the Summeg ends it will be a lively,
prosperous mining camp. Elko's
merchants should be awake if they
wish to hold the trade of that Sec
ton.

GRATIFYING RESULTS.
INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS
WITH The NEW STOM-
ACH REMEDY.
Not Patent Medicine, But u Safe
Cure for all Forms OF IndI-
Hestion.

The results of recent investigation
have established, beyond question, the
great value OF the new preparation
for indigestion and stomach troubles:
1t Is composed of the digestive aciIs,
pe2sin, b;snuth, Golden Seal and
similar stomachics, prepared in the
form of 20 grain lozenges, pleasant to
the taste, convenient to carry when
travelling, harmless to the most deli
cate stomach, and probably the SAT-
est, most etfectual cure yet discover.
ed for indigestion, sour stomach, loss
OF appetite and flesh, nausea, sick
headaches, palpitation of the heart,
and the many symptoms arising from
imperfect digestion of food. They
cure because they cause the food to
be promptly and thoroughly digested
before it has time to sour, ferment
and poison the blood and nervous
system. ......
Over six thousand people in the
state OF Michigan alone in 1894 were
cured OF stomach troubles by Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

at all druggists at 50c., or sent by
