FATAL TORNADO IN THE SOUTH
A Number Of People Killed in Texas
and Arkansas and Much Prop.
erty Destroyed.

Chicago, March 12.-Ten persons
were killed, a number probably fatal
ly injured and score wounded by the
explosion of the boiler of the Doremus
laundry, 45S West Madison sstreet, at
8:14 o'clock in the morning. The
building was formerly known as the
Waverly theater, the adjoining section
on the west being occupied by the Vol
unteers of America as divisional head
quarters. 1t was almost wholly shat
tered, leaving the walls in a tOttering
condition and rendering the work of
rescue both hazardous and slow. Pc
lice patrol wagons and ambulances
were soon Oh the scene and into them
were placed the manned victims.
They were takn to the county hospital.
They were taken to the county hOSpl-
tai
Explosion Badly Felt.
The noise and shock of the eXp1O-
sion were widely felt, buildings in all
directions having been shaken and in
many instances the heavy plate-glass
windows in neighboring shops were
shattered. Thousands of persons were
attracted to the scene, hundreds pour
ing out of the cable cars which were
blocked east and west for many
blocks.
Aided by the police and firemen and
the corps of city police and Red Cross
ambulances, physicians from the
neighborhoOd rendered effective serv-
ice in the rescue and proper handling
of the wounded. All sorts of rumOrS
flew thick and fast. An early report
was that most of the 100 employees
of the laundry were carried down and
killed under the boiler.
One Man saves Four Girls.
William Nugent, 80 Sheldon street,
who was among the first on the spot,
brought credit to himself by quick
ly removing four young women from
places of danger in the second floor
of the laundry. He rugged up board and
tackle and lowered them to the ground.
The defamation was heard as far
east as the river and to Western ave-
nue. on the west The excitement was
intense and in short time West Mad
ison street from Elizabeth to Center
avenue was crowded. To add to the
confusion and danger fire started in
the building. 1t was quickly eXtin-
guished, however.
A. f. DOremuS, owner of the laun-
dry, was arrested shortly before noon.
1t is said that he was warned by the
city boiler inspector not to use the
boiler in his establishment.

COL. HOYE
Was Bound to Pro-
tect the City.
A Smallpox Scare Start
ed From Canton
But It Was Headed
Away From Here.
Explanation, However, Secured
Release From Quarantine.

There was considerable excitement
at the Health department Thursday
evening, when the Health officer Of
Canton telephoned here to look out
for one c. E Smith, formerly of Can
ton, but now n night operator at u
local railway office. Why Mr.. Smith
was to be looked out for, the Canton
officials said, was that while in the
Deuber City, he had visited a board
ing house where there was a case of
smallpox. The message announced
that Mr.. Smith was on his way from
Canton to Akron, and should be met
at the depot when he arrived here
and placed under quarantine.
Col. Hoye went at once to see about
the case, and found that the man had
already reached Akron and left for
Peninsula. Learning when he would
return, Col. Hoye was promptly on
ut tut ucpOt, Nllcll ille W., l.. "
V. train arrived from Peninsula at
T:30, and refused TO permit Mr.. Smith
to leave the train compelling him to go
on TO Canton, where he was taken
in hand by the Health authorities of
that city.
He was released, after an explana-
ton, and came back to work Friday.
Mr.. Smith says that he owed n board
| bill in Canton. and had gone there
Thursday to pay It. Upon learning
| that there was a case of smallpox
at the house, he stood in the street,
attracted the attention of the land
lady and threw the money on the
porch. He established this fact, and
was pronounced all right, but Col
Hoye says he'll never run any risk
with the smallpox business, and
hence his vigilance.

FIVE MILES
OF Stairs Are Avoided
Every Day
By One Elevator In an Akron
Block.

The ups and downs of an elevator
boy in a building such as the Hamil-
ton building carry him possibly great
deal further, during days work, than
many people would imagine. And
think of the myriad of palpitations
and weak knees which are obviated
by the same elevator boy The shaft
Of the Hamilton building Is nearly 90
feet deep and the youngster in charge
makes on an average of POO round trips
each day. This means, roughly, n
distance of $4,000 feet or more than
five miles.
Providing too many interesting base
ball games do not come to break the
monotony of his young career, the
youngster travels more than 120 miles
within that narrow cage, each year.
But he saves the people OF the build
ing the necessity of climbing up miles
and miles of steps and then hulrying
back down.

BLUEGILL EXPERTS.
The Number of Fish They Ate
Was Astonishing.

Messrs. Geo. w. Schick, w. ]. Hoye
Geo. I. Mexican, o. S. Hart, W. r.
Snyder and w. d. Kittinger, are blue
gill experts, whose frequent visits to
Long Lake park hotel, collectively or
individually, are doing much to spread
Landlord Frank y. Menegay's fame
as an artist in the preparation of fish
fry suppers. Mr.. Hart is mathema-
tician and Mr.. Schick can also figure
like lightning calculator but between
them they have been unable to com
pute the number of blue gills dis
posed of by the party at the Long Lake
park hotel one night this week This
was partly due to the fact that Mr..
Menegay by some "deft turn at the
proper moment fries the fish in
such way that, though the bones are
less troublesome, they do not seem to
accumulate on ones plate as they us
ually do, and small pile of bones may
mean great many fish.
