ON HOTEL WINDOWS.


A Wichita commercial traveller claims he
can tell the occupant of hotel room by
the windows. He says:
AS matter of fact, these things are
shown SO plainly that they are apparent
to the most casual inspection.
The windows of some rooms occupied by
people of the stage are those which most
compel attention in. this respect.
On Monday morning the sashes are wide
up to air the room. a dusky maid may
be seen fitting TO and fro, and presently
one or two gaudy gowns-such as look
best in the glare of the footlights-are
displayed upon the back of q chair near
the window Tuesday morning the shades
are drawn until noon, and when they are
raised ostentatious bouquets dawn upon

ABOUT DEEP BREATHING.

Henry Fellows of this city believes that
deep breathing is a great remedy. He
has printed a slip telling about it and
gives it his friends. This slip reads as

People who have suffered for months or

About this time Willis Hun ter of the Silver Dollar barrier shop was going home, accompanied by his wife, when the couple were murder ously waylaid and assaulted by a brace of thugs. One man struck Mrs. Hun ter a severe blow and attempted to drag her to the earth, but she strug- gled with all her strength and escaped by leaving her cape in the hands of her assailant.

DISASTROUS FIRE
Tombstone Suffers From the Work of
 an Incendiary.

Within the last two weeks several fires evidently of incendiary origin have been kindled in Tucson and a similar report was heard from Tombstone. Following these events comes the Tombstone Prospeetor of the 26th with the account appearing below of other attempts which were in q measure sue cessful and showing, too, that the fire bugs cannot for their own safety be too careful in concealing their iden- tity:
 On Christmas morning about i o'clock the Tombstone populace was aroused by an alarm of fire. The con- aagration proved to be in the rear of YapIe's store and was the fiendish and malicious work of some fire bug who has been trying to fire our city, The fire proved to be a disastrous one, the entire rear of the store and candy kitchen is wrecked while the damage to. goods in the store from water and smoke will reach s1,20O. The rear yard of s. M. Barrow's place adjoining was also burned and smoke which filled the big store damaged the stock to an ex- tent not yet ascertained but will foot up to considerable amount. The fire was fierce and but for the heroic work of the firemen the entire block would have been consumed. MT. Yaple sus- tained several serious burns and bruises while trying to extinguish the flames. He had permitted his fire insurance to lapse recently, therefore the loss falls quite heavily upon him. MT. Barrow was lightly insured.
 About two hours after the above fire another alarm was sent in and proved to be vacant building near Flys pho tograph gallery. This fire was set on the inside, some chips and papers be- ing found in the corner showing unmis- ,akably the work and design of the fire fiend.
 man was seen running from a house on Allen street near Third by John Martin about 6:3O a. m. An in vestigation showed that whittled sticks and papers were placed in the corner of the building. The fire bug evident ly intended to set the building ablaze when frightened away by the coming of MT. Martin. Being minus one leg Mr. Martin could not give chase.
 Last night an attempt to burn the old Oriental corner was evidently made. The only thing preventing the same was the burning out of the kindling be- fore the woodwork had become ignited. The fire had been started in a small shed in the rear of the building and the scorched sides of the shed are yet to be seen. Several other places are re- ported where there are evidences of the visitation of the incendiary and his hurried departure before he had got the blaze under way.
 The citizens have become thoroughly aroused and their wrath will find cul- imitation in wreaking vengeance on the vicious profligate who is committing these incendiaries, by hanging him to the nearest telegraph pole should he be caught in his work,

HOW ABOUT IRRIGATION?

The geographical center of the coun- try not including Alaska or any islands far from the mainland, is near the mid dle of Kansas, but it is very improb- able that the center of population will ever go as far west as the Mississippi. It will remain many hundred miles east of the geographical halfway point between the Atlantic and the Pacific. Nature has settled that point by such tremendous forces as rainfall and eli mate, topography and soil.-Cleveland Leader.
