N HOUSE BURNED
The Dwelling Of Mr.. 'and Mrs. Charles
Mckay Burned to the Ground Last
Wednesday evening-A total loss.


The most destructive fire that
has ever visited this valley left
the beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Mckay, of Brush
creek, in ashes last "Wednesday
evening. MI. Mckay had taken
a bath in the kitchen about half
past 3 O'Clock IN the evening and
at a quarter to six went into the
dining room and laid down on the
lounge without dressing, closing
the door between the kitchen and
the dining room. Mrs. Mckay
was busy putting things back into
one of the bedrooms, which she
had cleaned that day, on the OPP
posite side of the house. She
happened 70 pass near the kitchen
door when she heard their old cat
crying inside. When she opened
the door she saw that the entire
room was in flames. She gave
the alarm to Mr.. Mckay and they
worked heroically but, so rapidly
did the flames spread, they were
able to save but little. One of
the first things carried out a
the clock, which was stopped at
five minutes of 6 o'clock, showing
that the fire had started and gain
ed control inside of ten minutes.
They saved the sewing machine.
some of their clothing and the
drawers from the dining room
sideboard. In seven minutes
from the time of the discovery of
the fire the entire roof of the
house fell in and in Is minutes
the entire house was a heap of
burning Goals.
One or two of their neighbors,
who lived a mile or 50 distant, saw
the fire and fastened to help but,
though they rode furiously, they
were not able to get there in time
to save anything. A strong wind
from the west famed the flames
and made any attempt to a the
house useless. 1t is not known
how the fire started but the fact
of the roof falling in SO soon after
wards makes it almost certain
that it originated from the kitchen
stove. Mrs. Mckay had been
ironing hat day but had closed
up the stove aud the fire was sup
posed to have gone down.
There was no insurance on the
building, which was one of the
best built ranch houses in the en-.
tire valley, The loss is a very
serious one and they will not be
able to build again this summer
Fortunately an old bunk house
with II dirt roof some 80 or 80 fee
away, did not burn and they vii
make their home in that.

Stand Up For Wyoming.

There seems to be a strong ten
dency on the part of many of our
citizens to migrate to other states
as soon as they accumulate a COM
potency. 1t is their privilege,
but still it is unfortunate for the
state, and there is no reason for it.
We have a healthful climate,
splendid educational institutions,
magnificent summer resorts. I'M
surpassed hunting and fishing,
and undeveloped resources I'M
equaled in promise. Here is
where our men of wealth should
establish their homes for all time,
building up the state that gave
them their start in life. Let them
put their shoulders to the wheel,
as the financial men of Colorado
have done, and make of Wyoming
a state to be proud of. Stand up
for Wyomiug.--Larami Repub-

AN EXPENSIVE BUSINESS
Winston Churchill Says England Must
 Send More Men

London, April 16.-Winston Churchill, telegraphing to the Morning Post from Bloemfontein, under Saturdays date, iterating his opionion that the war is bound to prove an extremely expensive business. He says:
 1.-TWO hundred and fifty thousand men will be needed before the end is attained The question of re-mounts will continue one of vital importance. Great numbers are now arriving, but owing to the fact that they have to be put to work before time is given to them to recover from the effects of the voyage, their condition Is slow and the death rate among them high.
 Thousands, therefore, will be wanted in addition to those now here and on the way, and great resting depots must be formed together with an ample staff to nurse and exercise them. If that is done then about four or five months hence you will be able to give your cavalry new lease of life and strength"

LABORERS STRIKE
 AT THE CROTON DAM Three Hundred Armed Deputies
 Guarding the Works. QUIET RtI6NS SUPREME
Italians Are Determined and Will Not Return to Work Nor Let Out siders Take Their Places Un-
 til Demands Are Met

Croton Landing N. Y, April 15.-While everything is quiet and peaceful in the neighborhood of the Cornell dam tonight nearly 300 armed deputies are guarding the works. and each one of them is guessing al to what tomorrow may bring forth.
 The striking Italian laborers, whose homes are in the vicinity of the works, arc behaving themselves excellently. But un' derneath their assumed quiet there Is stubborn resolve not to go back to work nor let any outsiders take their places un- til the contractors agree to pay the ih' crease of wages demanded. Ihe stflkers say they will fight the new men, and' II necessary, the soldiers. Strenuous ehorts are being made by Italian Consul Branch and State Arbitrator Delehanty to bring about a settlement of the difficulty. Much depends on the outcome of a conference which is to be held in New York between the two contractors and General Roe and Sheriff Malloy this evening.
 The strikers are all well armed with guns and pistols, and in this regard they have a decided advantage over the sherin dep uties, who have only long night sticks and 32- 2-canDre reVOlVerS. lHe ueputicS "iS III a valley, while the strikers command an adjoining hill. With the guns, the Italians could riddle the sheriff's men, who in re- turn could not send bullet from their re- volvers half way up the hillside in case fight should take place. Most of the dep uties are being fed at a nearby boarding house, and many of them complained to- day of being insufficiently supplied with food In addition to this, they claim they are made to work overtime, and threats of strike among them were rife today.
 The feature of the day was the mingling of the strikers and the deputies at the Eas- ter service in the little Roman Catholic chapel in the valley The best of feeling prevailed.

STORM IN RAINS SAS
Two Deaths and Many Persons Have
 Been Injured

Kansas City, Mo, April 15.-A Journal special from Wichita, Kan says:
 "A storm approaching tornado in pro- portion is reported from near Winfield, be- tween here and Newton. and in the vicinity of Clearwater. Two deaths are reported and four people are said to have been in- jured by overturned houses. Wires are down, and names and particulars un- obtainable at l o'clock tonight.
 At Putnam it is said that several houses were blown down and six people injured seriously. Word was brought by passen gers on the southbound Santa Fe passen- ger train that two persons were killed, but it is impossible to confirm this report to- night. The telegraph and telephone wires were rendered useless by the wind, and all attempts to reach Putnam and Newton, af- fected points, have proven of no avail.
 West of Clearwater, in the country northeast of Adams on the Englewood branch of the Santa Fe railroad, it is re- ported that strip of country five miles long was swept by a storm at o'clock this evening, and several farm houses, barns and other buildings blown down. No casualties are reported from there."

 There is one method of ascertaining the amount of crop exactly, for there is one process, that of ginning, to which all cot ton for any commercial or industrial use whatever must be subjected. If one could obtain from the cotton gins of the coun- try reports of the amount of the staple they have turned out, the precise aggre- gate of the whole crop would be known. It is proposed to apply this process in talk ing the twelfth census, the field work of which is to begin on the first of June. An expert special agent has been appointed whose sole duty will be to obtain returns from all the ginning and bailing estab- lishments in the cotton growing region. No ginnery is too small or insignificant to be visited and asked for return.

NOTHING TO GIVE OUT
Rumor of General Brabant's Victory
 Thought to be Premature

London, April 16.-4:55 a. m.-The war office had nothing to communicate to the public yesterday. It may be taken for granted that the rumor of General Bra bant's victory at Wepener is premature With the remainder of his force he left Aliwahnorth Saturday for Rouxville, and there has scarcely been time for an en- gagement.
 There is practically no fresh news this morning. All the Bloemfontein dispatches, however breathe confident tone. There seems to be heavy demand on the rail- way, for so large army leaves the pop ulace bare of everything save the absolute necessities of life.
 The fact that the censors allowed Win ston Churchilrs dispatch on the subject of re-mounts to pass speaks volumes for the the prospect for any immediate advance toward Pretoria. The utmost that Lord Roberts will be able to do for some time to come will be in the direction of clear ing the Boers from the southern part of the Free State.
 The dispatches announce the approach of winter. The first pinch of frost has been felt at Bloemfontein, where considerable rain has fallen.
 It is said that President Kruger has wis., ited the camp at Kroonstad as well as at Brandfort.

It is understood that eight more of the man. ufacturers have decided to join the fight against those who sympathize with the striking employees of Kerbs, Wertheim & Shiffer, and 5000 more men and women will be locked out tomorrow. They, too, will at once declare a strike.
 A general strike throughout. the city IS threatened. The employers declare that unless the present situation is soon ended they will be compelled to move their fac tories away from the city to places where they can get labor at what they deem the proper scale of wages.

from returns so far in, won with hand some majorities.
 H. c. Miller and H. B. Gray ran close together in the race for county treasurer.
 For sheriff A. w Burgin leads his near est competitor, J. A. Downey, by GOO votes in thirty-seven precincts that have been heard from. The beats yet to report are mostly small and will not change the re- suit much either way.
 For clerk of the criminal court John G. Bradley had an easy victory, running sew eral hundred votes ahead of the next high est man.
 T. F.. Mclaughlin is reelected tax assess sor over John l.. Parker by majority or almost two to one.
 J. w. McAdory, the successful candidate for superintendent of education, received almost if not quite as many votes as both of his competitors.
 The complete returns from all the beats will probably be required to decide who are the successful candidates for members of the board of revenue. Complete returns had been received from 23 beats up to mid night last night, and taking these as an index to the balance of the county the fol- lowing are apparently elected: w. H. Will son, A. J. Tarrant, H. w. Crook, J. B. Rosenstihl and Hugh McGeever. Later re- turns may make some changes, however. The first two named are sure of maJorl- ties, while MT. Crook with the big vote of Bessemer expected to give him enough to assure him a place the board. McGeever leads Rosenstihl by 200 CT 300 votes, and Rosenstihl is that much ahead of the next highest man. Judge Samuel E. Greene, candidate for criminal court judge, and J. B. Francis for tax collector, had no opposition
 The managers at the Bessemer box were the last to finish the counting of the bal lots, they having gotten through about ] o'clock this morning. At Pratt City the count was finished about the middle of the afternoon, and at Cleveland beat, in Birmingham, about noon. There is some talk of fraud in some of | filed in at least four of the beats. Frank | Cahalan, one of the managers at the | Cleveland box, refused to continue the | count at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and | left the room, to which he did not again | return
 He stated ta an Age-Herald reporter last night that he refused to act longer because | he discovered some kind of trickery, but 1 said he did not know in whose interest the l efforts at fraud were being made.
