TERRIBLE FIRE
WINDSOR HOTEL OF NEW YORK
BURNS AND MANY LIVES
ARE LOST.
Warren Leland, Proprietor of the Hotel
Sees the Fire and is Now a Maniac
His Wife and Daughter Perish
in the Flames-Loss Estimated at
$1,000, OOO-Fifteen Lives Lost.

New York, March 17.-Horrors that
almost beggar description attended the
destruction of the Windsor hotel by
fire today.
Warren F. Leland, the proprietor,
saw it all and is now a maniac. His
wife and daughter are among the dead.
1t is impossible to determine the
number of the dead until the ruins are
searched, but 10 are are believed to
have lost their lives and a number of
others are missing.
Fifth avenue was black with the
mass of humanity that looked on while
frantic women leaped from windows to
certain death. The great crowd cheer
ed while the firemen performed dar-
ing deeds of rescue.
A feature of the fearful fire was the
earnest work of Miss Helen Gould, who
converted her home temporarily into
a hospital.
New York, March 17.-Flames which
originated from the igniting of a lace
curtain burst forth from the second
floor of the Windsor hotel, at Forty
seventh street and Fifth avenue, short
ly after 3 O'Clock this afternoon, just as
the st. Patrickis day parade was pass
ing the building, and in a few moments
the flames had leaped to the roof and
enveloped the entire avenue and the
Forty-seventh street fronts of the ho-
tel.
Ten minutes later the flames were
roaring through the interior of the ho-
tel, and all escape by means of stair
ways and elevators was cut off. There
was the widest scene of excitement
within and without the building. Hun
dreds Of guests and employees were in
the hotel when the fire broke out and
for many of them escape with safety
was impossible.
Propably from ten to fifteen lives
were lost within half an hour, and thir.
ty or forty persons were injured in
jumping from windws and in Tushine
through the roaring flames in the cor,
ridors and on the stairways.
Many who were injured died later II
near by residences and at hospitals, ant
others who made wild leaps to the stone
sidewalk were SO badly injured thai
they are still lowering between life anG
death.
1t may be t~wenty-four hours or more
before the complete list of fatalities be.
comes known, and it will be longer
than that before it can be ascertainet

aches and pains that follow healthy
organic functions.
Many years Of suffering might be
avoided, weary months of lost time put
to good service, and thousands OF lives
saved II persons who do not sleep we'll
and those with overworked brains and
nerves would take Paine's celery COM
pound. In the cure OF nervous diseases
this remedy has again and again DEM
onstrated its power to combat these
tenacious elements.
1t is to general poor health that we
are to look for the cause of headaches,
rheumatism and neuralgia, and to
vsrcom these troubles It Is the gem
eral health that must be raised. Sick
headaches that recur so periodically
with most women and are SO grievous
an affection should be treated as due to
lowered v tone, and a thorough
IMMIGRATION OF the body should be I'M
dertaker with Paine's celery COM
pound.
The best test of the wonderful value
OF Paine's celery compound Is to use it.
Amy woman will soon be convinced
that 1t is the remedy that a make
and keep her well and healthful and
strong.

PANTS

The following composition is said to
have originated with a Laramie school
boy. Its title is Pants" If any Rock
Springs boy can beat it he can get a
dollar for his production at the Miner
office:
Pants are made for men, and not
men for pants. Women are made for
men and not pants. When a man pants
for a woman and a woman pants for a
man, they are a pair of pants. Mistakes
are often made in such pants. Such
mistakes lead to breeches of promise.
are like molasses, they are thin
ner in summer and thicker in winter.
Men get on a tear in their pants, and it
is all right; but when the pants get
on a tear, it is all wrong. There has
been much discussion as TO whether
pants is singular or plural. Seems to
me when men wear pants they are
plural, and when they don't wear any,
they are singular."-Rock Springs
Miner.

PAYING OLD CLAIMS.
Government Paying Claims Under
Bowan and Tucker Acts.

Washington, March 1.-THE treasury
has begun the payment of
claims under the Bowman and Tucker
act. In all, these claims foot up $780,
600. AS a result the lawyers at the
capital who have been pushing myriads
of claims before congress for many
years are now jubilant, as they will alb
sorb at least one-third of the enormous
amount. The payments are for relief
of individuals who sustained dam
ages during the civil war, or who fur
nished supplies to the federal army;
also to pay French spoiliation claims,
Indian claims and miscellaneous ac-
counts against the government. Some
of them date back many years.

STATE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION.


The state board of equalization is in
session at the capitol and the assess
ment schedules are in process of incu-
baton and will probably be announced
tomorrow. The live stock valuations
will be materially Increased. The board
claims that the value of range cattle is
$50 a head, although 1t is not proposed
to increase the valuation to this figure.
In this regard there is a difference of
opinion.
In speaking of the increased valua-
tions Hon. H. G. Hay, one of thte most
prominent stockmen of the state and
one who appeared before the board yes
terday, defines his position by the fol
lowing course of reasoning. The sys-
TEN of live stock taxation is based on
the ~suppositiOn that all live stock is
taxed upon proper valuation. If this is
not the case in Wyoming on elsewhere,
it is the fault of the assessor and does
not alter the true principle of taxation.
Amy n man owning all the cattle and
all the sheep in Wyoming would con
slider that he was doing well If he could
dispose of the same at the rate of 50
for every sheep and SIS for every head
of cattle. The theory of taxation does
not exclude any sheep or n cattle.
On these grounds, Mr.. Hay opposed the
advancement of the valuation Of cattle
to $50 and was supported in his posi-
tion by the other stockmen who ap-
peared before the board and who made
the additional argument that the past
winter had been a particularly hard one
and Improbable to the stockmen of the
state.-Cheyenne Sun-Leader.

In Japan most If the horses are shod
with st!aw. Even tho clumsiest of cart
horses wear straw shoes, which, in
their cases, are tied around the ankle
with straw rope and are made of the
ordinary rice straw, braided SO as to
form u sole for the foot about half an
inch thick. These soles cost about 4
ha~lfpenny q pair. In Iceland horses are
shod with sleeps horn. In discussing
this subject a writer in The Horse
shoer's journal says: In the valley Of
the Upper Oxus the antlers Of the
mountain deer are used for the same
purpose, the shoes being fastened with
horn pins. lu the Sudan the horses are
shod with socks made of camel's skin.
In Australia horseshoes are made Of
cowhide. A German not long ago in
vented n horseshoe of paper, prepared
by saturating with oil, turpentine and
other ingredients. Thin layers of suoh
paper are glued to the hoof till the re-
quisite thickness is attained, and the
shoes thus made are durable and i'm
peuetrable by moisture.

Wheaton Keeps Up His Flight

Washington, d. c., March H.-There
War department today to discuss a ca
BILE dispatch from Gen. Otis, which was
regarded as most important to those
who read it, as indicating that hostil-
titles might cease suddenly in the Phil
ippines and a collapse of the insurrect-
ion come at any time.
The reason for the belief of Gen. Otis
that a climax might come at any hour
was not stated, but his assumption was
based on the favorable reports he had
received from various sources that the
Filipinos were tired of war and Aguin-
aldo's leadership.
1t is believed at the wal department
that the method in which the Ameri-
cans have conducted the fighting has
lone much to convince the Filipinos of
the uselessness of trying to drive out
the United States forces. The fighting
has been of different character from
that to which they were accustomed
when the Spaniards were in possession
OF Manila.
Gen. Otis cable has caused a great
deal OF qualification. 1t was sent to the
President at Townsville. The prep
arations have been under way to send
further troops and supplies to the Phil
ippines have not yet been arranged in
