EIGHT LIVES WERE LOST
SPOKANE FIRE CASUALTIES FEWER
THAN FIRST REPORTED.
Bodies of the Victims in the Smoking
Ruins-$1, 100000 Elevator Fire at
East st. Louis, Ill.

SPOKANE, Wash, Jan. 25.-The Great
Eastern block, a six-story brick building
on Riverside avenue, was destroyed by fire
early this morning. The upper stories of
the structure were occupied by roomers and
families for light housekeeping and it is
said that nearly $50 people were in the
building when the fire broke out. Owing
to the excitement this morning, when the
first dispatches were sent East, it was i'm
possible to tell how many of the occupants
escaped, and rumors were current that fifty
or more had persisted. Fortunately, the
number was exaggerated. Eight now
known to have lost their lives. The dead
are:
MISS ALICE WILSON, aged eighteen
employed as hat trimmer.
MAUD WILSON, a sister of Alice aged
five years
MISS ROSE SMITH, aged twenty.
MRS. II. G. DAVIES, an elderly woman
from Nebraska City, Neb., who fell in de-
scending from the fifth story; died at the
hospital this morning.
w. B. GORDON, a mining engineer and
expert.
MRS. CORA PETERS and daughters
ETHEL and ALMA, aged nine and seven
years. respectively.
1t is also thought that Mrs. Peters's son
Charles. aged twelve years. persisted, but
there are reports that he was saved and
taken into the country by relatives Mrs.
Davies was living at her daughters, Mrs.
J. r. Pronger. They had rooms on the
fourth floor and were cut off from the stair
way and fire escape. The firemen failed in
their efforts to lift ladders to the fifth story
owing to a tangle of electric light and tele-
phone wires. Mr.. PrOnger caught tive large
wires running up the outer wall OF the
building. He crawled down these to the
fourth story and managed to catch the top
of long ladder. He descended to the
ground and was followed back up the ladder
by fireman carrying a light ladder on his
shoulder. This was connected to the large
ladder. Mr.. Pronger caught it, made 1t
fast to the other end and she descended in
safety. Meanwhile Mrs. Davies had tried to
follow Mr.. Pronger, but in the dense smoke
she missed the ladder. She came on down
hand under hard until she reached the sec
ond story. There she lost her hold and fell
to the stone pavement. She was seventy
two years old. One son, Charles Davies, is
a merchant at Nebraska City; another, Rev.
+. c. Davies, is pastor of the First Baptist
Church at Ottumwa, Ia.
None of the remains of those lost has
been recovered. The four walls of the big
building remain intact and the fire is still
burning in the basement. In the mass of
blackened debris lie the bodies of the vic
Tins. The local board of insurance agents
estimate the total property loss at $225 900;
insurance, $1S5,C00.

The SearchIight of Publicity is
Pleasing Ellsworth People.
Publicity is what the people want

Publicity is what the people want.
Let the public speak on the subject.
There has been too much claim-too lit :
tie proof.
Claims made by strangers are not proof.
Claims endorsed by strangers are not
proof.
There is only one kind OF proof for an
Ellsworth citizen
The experience of people we know
When friends and neighbors endorse,
Make public statement of their case,
There can be no question about such
evidence
This is the proof we have,
Which backs every box Of Doan's Kid
ney Pills,
No other kidney pills, no other kidney
remedy can produce such proof.
Here is one case OF the many we have:
Mr.. John Chapman, of Spring street,
near Birch avenue, says: Twelve years
ago hurt myself lifting some very heavy
boards. When letting them down | felt a
snap in my back as If something had
given away. For weeks after that | could
not lift as much as tive quart pail if
had been paid ten dollars. | had kidney
trouble afterwards and have been SO lame
in the back that it was hard to get around.
At times IT was painful that | was in
misery and at night was annoyed with a
urinary weakness which prevented me
from sleeping we'll. | spent dollar upon
doliar Trying 10 De cureu put remained
about the same. My wife saw an account
of Doans Kidney Pills in one of the Ban
gor papers which impressed her so that
she went to Virgins drug store and got a
box and insisted on me using them | am
glad that | did for they proved to be a
suitable remedy for any complaint and
have done me wonderful amount OF
good. ! prefer them to anything | ever
used. Other people tell me that they have
been helped by using Doan's Kidney
Pills"
For sale by all dealers, price so cents per

which faced the road were a woman and a
girl, the Latter about fifteen years of age.
The rapidly whirling carriages might
not have noticed the humble figures, but
just as they were dashing by the girl
raised both her hands and mOtioned
for the carriages to stop. The drivers
hauled the horses back upon their
launches, and out from the doorway
tripped the blushing young Porto Rican
maiden. In each of her small brown hands
she held great bouquets OF roses, red ana
white, and fragrant as the choicest of
greenhouse pets.
sylvan los Americanos!" she piped, as
she held one bouquet out to the forward
carriage, and repeating her salutation,
she tossed her other prize to the travellers
in the rear, and then fled to the home of
her fathers.
This was but hint of What was to fol-
low Groups of women gathered at the
wider spaces of the roadway, each with
flowers picked from the Porto Rican fields
with her own hand and crying s'Nivan
Americanosa ''Niya Porto Rico libre!n
pelted the passers- by with their tokens of
loyalty. The nearer the approach to the
village proper the thicker became the hail
of floral offerings. From the housetops,
the balconies, the wiz )ws, the trees even,
poured this rain of flowers. The horses
SHE'D and went tearing faster and faster,
while the cocheras howled profanely and
gleefully.
BY this time perfect mob was trailing
in the rear, and when Gen. Stone drew up
at the public square the entire town sur
rounded him, cheering, dancing, and still
raining their roses. EIbowing his way
through the throng came Theodore
Figueroa, the alcalde [mayorl OF Adjuntas.
With the smile of dapper dancing master
and the sweeping bow OF great patriot,
Senior Figueroa raised aloft an American
flag, which, he announced. had been made
by the women OF the town. They begged
the American general to do them the
honor to allow it to be raised, a request he
granted with great zest and alacrity.
The ceremony took place amid more
cheers at the town hall, and Gen. Stone
made brief speech and read Gen. Miles's
proclamation as to the purposes OF the
Americans in Porto Rico. This appeared
to please every one immensely, and they
"vivad", until the general had sought the
privacy Of a house and the few soldiers
had scattered.
