The Klondike was vaudeville

lived at Hurley, and Thomas Le Claire
was brother OF the proprietor Of the
theater.
The fire started on the stage and in
a few minutes the entire structure
was a mass of flames. The third story
was used as sleeping quarters and the
rapid spread Of the flames cut on the
escape OF the occupants.
The theater building was quickly
consumed and the flames spread to
adjoining structures. The Ironwood
fire department was called to the as

only by hardest work was the town
saved from being wiped out

The Columbus Dispatch has the fol-
lowing to say of the dedication of the
building:
The first public building in Ohio
bearing the name of William McKin-
= ley will soon be dedicated. 1t is the
amusement hall and chapel of the new
state hospital for insane at Massillon.
1t was designed and the foundations
were laid with the intention of making
1t the administration building, but later
the plans were changed and a smaller
structure for both administration and
superintendent's residence was erect
ed.
: The Massillon hospital engaged the
careful attention of Mr.. Mckinley
from the first for many reasons. 1t
f.. was projected while he was governor
and he appointed the board that Sc
lected the site for it, He appointed
the first board of trustees. 1t was the
first insane hospital in the state to
be constructed on the new cottage plan
and the first to be planned and equip
ped in accordance with modern meth
DDS of treating insanity. 1t became at
once the most important insane hos
pital in the country.
1t was at his suggestion and request
that DR.. A. B. Richardson was taken
from the Columbus hospital as its su-
perintendent to be made the first su-
perintendent of the Massillon insti-
tuition. When he was elevated to the
Office of president he took DR.. Rich
ardson with him to be superintendent
of the national insane hospital at the
capital.
For all these reasons it has seemed
peculiarly fitting to the board of trus-
tees that the new building which is
now known locally as the main build
ing, should bear the name of the dead
president. 1t was decided at the re-
cent meeting of the board to SO dedi-
cate 1t and the dedication exercises 1t
is hoped will be held on November 81
There is several weeks work yet to
be done, but with proper expedition
1t can be ready for the dedication by
the 21st.

eral City elopers, Mrs. VanKirk and
DR.. Parker, is well acquainted with
Uncle Charlie Lowery. who escaped
Saturday while Guard Bowman was
bringing him to Columbus. He is not
only clever crook ami bank robber
but Detective Murphy says that he is,
in reality, murderer, though 1t might
be difficult to
TRACE THE CRIME
directly to him. A few years ago a
posse of officers had fight with Low
cry and his gang near Washington,
Pa. The fellows were engaged in big
job when officers came upon them and
firing began. Lowery got away on a
handcar before the shooting had re-
ally commenced, hence escaped mur-
der charge, though two officers were
killed and one of the thugs and two
others captured. Lowery
NEVER DID TIME
for this, owing to his cleverness in
getting away.
At the penitentiary they are still
speculating as to the escape. Some of
the officials think Lowery has taken
to the mountains of Virginia. Others
believe he went north. The many
bank robberies in small towns north
give color to this theory, for it is
thought the robbers must have a rem
devious in some of the smaller ham,
let's. Detective Murphy thinks Low
cry went to Michigan and might be
found in one of the old haunts of
Blinky Morgan.
1t is now believed "Nell," the late
wife of Blinky Morgan and present
wife of Lowrey, did

that would do credit to the reputa-

cognizance of the situation and the
machinery OF the state will be put

The rescue of Lowery has served the
purpose, at least, of bringing the au-
thorities to a sense of their duty and
its boldness has shown Them that they

that Lowery will be captured but his
confidence is not shared by all of his

The state has doubled the usual re-
ward offered for escaped prisoners, and
500 is offered for Lowery.
The horse and buggy taken by Low

is no trace of the fugitives.

Columbus, Nov. 6.-It has been def
initely decided to dedicate the Massjl-
Ion hospital building just completed,
on November 21. For the first time in
the history of the state, building
at state institution is to bear the
name of former governor. In this
instance the title will be accentuated
by the further fact that the governor
later became president. 1t will be
known as the Mckinley building. The
suggestion came to the state board Of
charities and to the trustees through
DR.. Richardson. first superintendent OF
the hospital and who was later pro-
NOTED by President Mckinley to the
superintendency Of a national hospital

Some urban streets are still shaded

England and in the southern states.
But most communities feeling them
selves on the verge Of metropolitan
ism consider the destruction Of over

ers Of the gospel Of trees Of whom the
Hon. j. Sterling Morton is the most
distinguished and devoted, have
established school whose opponents
are making converts to arboriculture
every season. Even the politician,
whose respect is small for all innova-
tiOns nOt-immediately useful to his
career. has begun to realize that trees
planted in certain localities are vote
catchers. Harper's Weekly offers
some excellent suggestions to those
lords Of our environment, the mayor
and councilmen, in regard to trees:
l. A narrow tree-shaded street is
better than a bare wide one.
2. A walk under trees is more i'm
proving than a trolley ride under

3. The man who cuts down a tree,

In the forest the beauty Of single

tree in the city is refreshment and
suggests mountains, valleys and

say that beauty is in the eye Of the
beholder. II this be SO the stunted
tree, whose roots and expanding girth

whose leaves are covered with dust,
