SandOn, B. C. is Completely De-
strOyed by Fire.

Spokane, Wash. May 5.-A special
to the Spokesman Review from Kaslo,
B. c., says: Sandon, the second mining
town of Importance in the SLOGAN dis
trict, has been completely destroyed by
fire and nearly all of its 1900 people are
homeless and ruined. Kaslo is % miles
from Sandon, but about midnight large
clouds of smoke came rolling over this
town from Sandon. At once word went
out that Sandon was destroyed, but no
news could be had from the desolate
town, as all wires were down. Several
hours later a train came in from San
don bringing a number of those who
lost all their property. They reported
that the total loss was between $500, 600
and s1.OOO,OOO, while the insurance could
only have been about s25,o0O.
The flames started between Spencer's
hall and Browns store. Two streams
seemed to hold the flames in check for
a while. Then one stream gave out and
the flames spread rapidly. After that
it was only a matter of the fire burning
itself out.
The miners hospital was blown up in
an effort to check the flames By this
time all the lower part of the town, in
Guiding the tenderloin and many busi-
ness places were gone Then the fire.
men blew up the Echo hotel, one of the
finest buildings in the Kootenay coun-
try, the Canadian Pacific railroad sta
ton and other buildings in order to save
the stores of H. Geirich and H. Byers &
Co. This was accomplished Half a
dozen other buildings including the cleo
trio power house aA the extreme end OF
the town were saved. The rest of the
town was destroyed.
Relief measures were taken immed-
lately The officers of Sandon donated
/ $500 and mining men there contributed
| $1,000 Kaslo raised $500 and sent VI
a special train with large supplies OF
food, tents and clothing. More relief is
! needed.

PULLMAN SUED.
Made Defendant and Co-RespOn-
dent in Matrimonial Tangle.

New York, May 5.-The matrimonial
tangle which surrounds Geo. NJ. Pull
man is about to be unraveled by the
courts. Frederick V. Bowers, the song
writer, who says the woman registered
at the Hotel Girard as Mrs. Geo. NJ.
Pullman is still his wife, has brought
suit against her for absolute divorce,
naming young Pullman as co-respon-
dent.
He has also brought suit against Pull
man for 100000 for the alleged aliena-
ton of his wife's affections.
Both suits were instituted yesterday
by Bowers attorney. The papers were
served on the couple last night atForty-
fourth street and Sixth avenue.
A process server went to the Hotel Gil
rard but found that the couple were out
driving. Sanger Pullman. a, twin brother
of George, heard of the fact that the pa
pers were to be served and took a car,
presumably to head off his brother.
The process server took a cab and des-
cried the PulImans in a coach near Forty
fourth street, where they had stopped to
talk to friends. The server alighted and
went to the coach window. The couple
admitted their identity and accepted SER
vice without comment. They will have 2O
days in which to file an answer to the
papers.

In His Honor.

to allow some of the admiraTs old
friends an opportunity to meet him again.
Tomorrow morning at o'clock the ad-
miral and party will leave for Memphis.
The parade in which nearly a hundred
different organizations took part was
Witnessed by hundreds of thousands of
people who gave the admiral an enthus-
iastic greeting all along the line of
march The day was ideal hardly a
cloud fiecking the sky while just enough
wind was blowing to temper the
warmth of the sun and keep f1uttering
the thousands of flags with which the
buildings along the line of march were
decorated Excursion trains by the
dozens brought in their loads of out of
town sight seers and for hours before
the parade was scheduled to start the
miles of streets in the business district
over which the admiral was to pass
were packed almost to suffocation
Shortly before 1 o'clock accompanied
by Lieut.. Caldwell and O. L. Whitlaw
the admiral left his apartments at the
Planters hotel and was driven rapidly
to the corner of Washington and Grand
avenues, where the parade was formed
and a moment after his arrival the sig
nal for the start was given. The line
of march was as follows: East on
Washington to Charming, south on
| Claiming to Locust, east on Locust to
Fifteenth, north on Fifteenth to Wash
/ ington, east on Washington to Fourth,
n - IL
| to broadway, north on Broadway to
| Olive, west on Olive to Seventeenth,
south on Seventeenth to Pine, west on
| Pine to Twentieth and diSband.
| All along this route the admiral was
! kept busy bowing to the greetings of
/ the thousands, the cheering and waving
of flags being almost continuous. At
Thirteenth and Olive streets in front of
the Exposition building, the admiral
and his party aHghted and ascending
the grandstand reviewed the parade,
which occupied nearly two hours in
| passing At its conclusion he was
| driven to the Planters hotel.

WHOLE FORCE MOVING.

London, May 5.-Lord Roberts is evil
IDENTIFY losing no time in following up
the substantial advantage gained by
the occupation of Brandfort, and his
whole force is APPARENTLY moving on
Winburg. Gen. Ian Hamilton seems to
be midway between Houtnek and Win
burg and has thus got between Win
burg and Gen. Olivier's command from
Wepener. which is occupying Thaba
Patchoa. Between Thaba N'Chu, Lady
brand and Winburg, the country is
rough and suited for Boer tactics, so
the British are liable to be consider
ably harassed before they capture the
stronghold
Roberts is bound towards Kroonstadt,
or In the direction of Bethlehem. The
latter place is the terminus of the line
Joining with the Natal railroad at Van
Reenans pass and the capture Of that
place would probably compel the Beers
to leave the Drakenburg range and thus
open the way for Gen. Buffers advance
The British will have to repair the
bridge over the Vet before the railroad
between Brandfort and Winburg be-
comes available.
ATTEMPT TO KILL SCHREINER
Cape Town, May 5.-The South Afri-
| can News says that a policeman who
was guarding Premier Schreiner's house
mas peen shot. adding that the police
man was smoking a cigar at the time
] upon which fact is based an assertion
! that the bullet was evidently intended
for the premier, who is an inveterate
| smoker.
The African bund papers are making
] sensation out of the affair." declaring
| an anti-Dutch plot is on foot.
PASSAGE OF THE VAAL.
London, May 5.-The war office this
! evening issued the following from Lord
| Roberts dated Bloemfontein Friday.
| May 4;
1.-The mounted infantry have gone on
to the Vet river. The rest of the force
will march there tomorrow. The rail-
way has been repaired to this.
Hunter reports very satisfactory
| news-that the passage of the Vaal has
! been carried at Windsorton without op-
| position.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
One Topeka Druggist Introduces a
Worthy Innovation.

Soda water. ice cream sodas and ices
are the delight of Topeka children. but
in the years past the little ones have
been compelled to dangIe their feet from
uncomfortable high stools while con-
suming the mysteries of a soda foun-
tain.
Mr. Weightman who fills prescrip-
tions, too, with first class drugs, has
presented to his patrons an innovation
which appeals to the little folks. In
the window of the store Mr.. Weightman
has placed a miniature table, surround
ed by small wire chairs, where children
can sit down and drink soda with com
fort, and like their elders. This new
enterprise is in keeping with the pro-
gressive business methods which obtain
in Mr.. Weightman's store.

means a greater demand for property
and consequent advance in prices. To
the merchant it means a great increase

with goods
