SMALLPOX DISTRIBUTORS.
How the Germs Are Nurtured and the
Disease Is Spread.

| Disease Is Spreau'
It would seem that people will never
learn to be careful. The recent alarm
ing spread of that dire epidemic,
smallpox, throughout different Sec
lions Of the country has been traced
by physicians and sanitarians in many
instances directly to the moldy and
rotting layers Of paper and paste
which cover the walls of many houses.
The practice of laying layer after layer
of paper on a wall, using common
-four paste, is especially calculated to
| create homes for disease germs. Peo-
pie could not do more to effect such a
result If they tried. The rotting vege-
table matter affords caves from which
are ready to dart forth the infection
at every opportunity. There is no ex-
cuse for this practice, as walls and
ceilings can be coated with a pure,
Clearly and sanitary material like Ala
bastine, for instance, at no greater ex-
pense. Alabastine is a rock-base
cement, which incorporates itself with
the wall or ceiling. 1t is easily ap-
FLIED, comes ready to mix with cold
water, requires no washing or scrap
ing before renewing or retinting, is
beautiful, long-lasting and safe.
For walls that have been infected,
nothing is equal to Alabastine as a
disinfectant to render them pure and
clean and the rooms once more habit
able.

Lumbermen Kick.

Topeka, March 1O.-The Kansas
State Lumbermen's Association pro-
poses to carry its fight against the rail-
roads for a reduction in lumber freight
rates to the interstate commission. At
the conference held in Kansas City the
other day the railroads refused to
accede to the demands of the lumber
men. The Kansas dealers claim that
they arc being Disseminated against
and that they will get concessions or
die in the last ditch fighting for them.
They say they do not like to resort to
threats to secure fair treatment, but if
necessary they will do so.

Jevelry Marked by Tiny Numbers.

On every piece of worthy 1ewelry
there will be found series Of num-
bers SO fine that glass is needed to
correctly read them. These numbers
are there to protect the owner in event
Of loss. 1t is unkind to say 1t, but
pawnbrokers have also adopted the
numbering scheme to protect them
selves from thieves. Every pawnbrok-
er knows where to look for these sig
niflcant numbers and In the case Of a
rare bit of jewelry its travels from the
factory to store and from store to
pawnbroker and from shop to shop
can be traced with aggravating ac-
curacy.

THEATRE FRANCHISE BURNED
Great Destruction of Priceless
Works of Art.
ONE ACTOR WAS BURNED

Paris, March 10.-The Theater Fran
caise, the historical playhouse of Paris
and the home of the world-famed
Coincide Franchise, is mass of ruins.
Only the mere outside shell remains
standing. The dome has collapsed and
the interior is an utter wreck. The
magnigcent ceiling, bearing the allie
gorical painting by Mazerolle, the
ceiling painting by Debufe the Young
err, of "Truth Enlightening the World"
which adorned the foyer, and u number
of other mural tableaux and works of
art, together with portion of the in
valuable library of manuscript, perish
ed in the flames.
The only victim of the fire, so far as
known, was Mdlle. Henriot, beauti-
full young actress of 10, whose photo
graph has been displayed in the shop
windows along the boulevard as type
of beauty.
1t was only matter of an hour that
saved Paris repetition of the Opera
Comique catastrophe, as a crowd Of
women and children had already gath
cred at the doors, awaiting the open
ing of the matinee, when the alarm
was raised. Had the performance
begun, few probably would have es-
capped, owing to the rapidity with
which the flames spread, settling the
fate of the building before the firemen
could even get to work.
1t is now asserted that the disaster
was not accidental but due to malevo-
lence. M. Girard, chief of the munich
pal laboratory, is convinced that the
fire was due neither to gas nor cleo
tricity, because he ascertained that
several dressing rooms were on fire at
the same time.

A Half MILLION Fire.

Lead, S. d., March 1s.-Fire which
broke out in the Dalkenburg saloon
consumed forty buildings before it was
distinguished and caused a loss of
100000. The Deadwood fire depart
ment was called on for assistance and
responded. 1t was found necessary to
blow up buildings in the path of the
fire with dynamite in order to stop its
spread. Owing to the high wind and
the scarcity of water the iremen were
unable to do anything to stay the
flames in any other way.
