Republican GubernatoriaI Contest rn
 Doubt-Both Sides Confident.
 HARRISBURG, Pa, June 10-With the chances apparently about even be- tween Judge Samuel W. Pennypacker of Philadelphia and Attorney General John P. Elkins of Indiana and the manager of ex-Lieutenant Governor Louis A. Waters of Scranton claiming he holds the balance of power, the re- suit of the contest for the Republican nomination for governor remains very uncertain. United States Senator Quay, who is directing the Pennypacker forces, with the assistance of United States Senator Penrose and Insurance Commissioner Durham, said last night that he was confident the judge will be nominated and that he saw no req son to change his statement that he will have 225 of the 35S delegates in the state convention.
 General Elkins said that the result was more positive and that his friends were standing up at every point and would control the convention. Every thing is coming our way,'' he added. T have heard from several counties which were supposed to be doubtful, and they are all favorable"

MANY FIRE VICTIMS.

LIST OF INJURED NUMBERS THIRTY
Burning of sanitarium In Which Were Scores of Helpless Patients Causes a Pitifu1 Spectacle IR
 Middle West Metropolis.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Twelve men and one woman were killed and about thirty persons were injured in a fire which late yesterday destroyed the sanitarium conducted by the St. Luke society at the corner of Wabash avenue and Twenty-6rst street. The society occupied the building which was long known as the Hotel Woodruff and for brief period as the Hotel Lancaster. By far the greater portion of the pa tients received in the institution were those seeking cure from the drink hab- it and those who were addicted to the use of drugs.
 When the fire broke out, there was on the fifth floor a number of patients suf fering from delirium tremens and some who were deranged by drugs. Several of these were strapped to their beds, and it was found impossible to save them, so rapidly did the fire spread through the building.
 The fire originated in the basement of the building and spread rapidly to the upper stories through the elevator shaft. The blaze was discovered by James Newell, grocer, who was driv- ing through the alley in the rear of the building. He noticed smoke coming from one of the basement windows and ran into the engine room to dis cover its cause Behind the boilers in the center of the cellar and within a few feet of the elevator shaft he saw small flame. The next instant the flames were caught by the draft in the elevator shaft and carried up with a. roar.
 Newell shouted to several men in the alley to give the alarm and to alarm the inmates of the building. Several hurried to do this, but by the time they reached the first floor of the building the flames had been carried to the roof, had eaten through it and were leaping high in the air.
 As the cry of fire rang through the building patients sprang from their beds, and before they could be pre- vented several had jumped from the windows to the pavement. The fire de- partment was on the scene within few minutes, and as the windows were filled with people shrieking for help the firemen devoted their first efforts to save lives and allowed the fire to burn. While this was the means of saving a large number of people, who were car ried down the ladders by the firemen, it gave the fire such a headway that there was almost no chance for those on the upper floors of the building to make their escape, and such of them as were not suffocated were killed or badly injured by leaping from the win doWR

The Mines Were Right in the Same Places and Worth About as Much

''I had lot of old mining stocks in the house." said Detroiter who, ac- cording to the Free Press, invests in snost anything to oblige a friend, ''and when went west last fall 1 took a list of them. One day in q Nevada town asked real estate man if he had ever heard of the Red Bird mine.

THE coLoRs TO WEAR.
Those That Harmonfze with the
 Wearer's Complexion Should
 Re Selected.

Blondes as a rule look their best in pure white, while brunettes nearly al- ways look better in cream than in pure white.
 Don't attempt to wear pearl or light gray unless you have consider able color; dark iron gray and oxford, however, are generally safe, advises American Queen.
 Brown eyes and brown dress go well together, while blue-eyed girls should wear blue as often as possible.
 Red is becoming to most young wom- en, and pale face is always bright ened by red hat or gown.
 Thin, colorless women should strictly avoid black, plum and navy blue; these are the most trying dark colors
 If you have red hair you will prob ably look well in brown, any shade from biscuit to seal, also any shade of green, and medium or dark gray; and for summer or evening wear, white and very pale tints of green, blue, lilac, corn color or buff.
 If you are determined to wear black let it be the best material that you can afford Dull black is best for pure blondes and a lustrous black for bru- nettes. Many physicians forbid their patients to wear black, especially crepe veils,'as the rays of the sun do not pen etrate black and we need the sums ac- tion on our bodies.
 White absorbs heat the least of any color; then comes yellow, red, green, blue and black. The heat-absorbing property of colors can only act when they are worn outside; the oldfash- toned idea that red flannel undergar- ment is warmer than a white one is purely imaginary. It is a mistake to wear colored garments next to the skin as the dyes are apt to be poison ous and irritating.

HER MONEY DISAPPEARED.
Funds of a Dead Woman Missing
From the House.

Fort scott,Apri 2-There is something
of a mystery surrounding the disappear
ance of s, 63S from the estate of the late
Mrs. Mary Sivey the aged woman who
died at her home on the north side on
the 18th day of last month.
1t is claimed that the money was
taken from the mattress upon which she
died sometime shortly before she died
or directly thereafter. AT any rate the
money was there several days previous
to her death and it is claimed that after
wards it suddenly disappeared The
original amount was $1.7S3, so the story
goes. and when it was looked for after
her death there was but $3.50 left The
case is being investigated and there may
be some arrests or civil proceedings in
stit14ed by the administrator when one
is appointed.

MEAT PRICES HIGHER.
Beef Advances 50 Per 100
Pounds in Topeka.

The prices of meats have been on a
steady gradual increase during the past
six months, and the local market shows
the following advance for the six weeks
ending March 80:
Dressed beef, 81 per 100 pounds.
Dressed mutton, 81 per 100 pounds.
Provisions from 50 cents to IS cents.
Livestock, hogs 50 cents to rs cents
per hundred pounds.
Cattle 81 to S1.50 per hundred pounds.
The same conditions prevail at all the
cattle and stock markets. 1T can only
be a matter of conjecture whether the
prices viii continue to advance" said d
local buyer today, but the indications
are that they viii The price of pork
viii undoubtedly go higher although it
is very high now
The high prices being paid and asked
for cattle and provisions it is said is di-
rectly traceable to the dry weather of
the last year This is the explanation
given: AT the time it seemed that a
famine of feed was inevitable, the stock
men sold off all the stock they could
dispose of and now there is a scarcity
because the stock that should be put on
the market at this time, has been dis
posed Of and out of the way long
ago"
