italians Love Tomatoes.

Italians more than any other people
value tomatoes, and each one that
comes to perfection is as carefully tend
ed as though it were an apple of gold.
Not only do the housewives delight in
the fresh vegetables themselves, but,
generally speaking, those home tended
are better than any purchased at the
market, and so each one is jealousy
saved to make tomatoe sauce for the
spaghetti, without which no Italian
Sunday would be Sunday. One soapboX
gardener one season sold enough toma,.
toes to give her quite little pin money.
No one who knows the Italian well will
be surprised TO learn that many of the
boxes are devoted to peppers for they
in truth furnish much of their spice of
life, and even the little Italian girls
know how to stuff and cook them in q
dozen different ways that tempt t&sa
palate.--Boston Transcript. .4sss

Hill on the Great i>o.t-4e.n n -ailway is

of government supplies to the 4'ailip-
pines. The Hill interests want to
make Seattle the shipping point and
their bids for sending government
business from the Pacific coast to Ma
Mia are below any other propositions.
Mr. Hills presence in Washington
has revived interest in the efforts to
settle 8the shipping point of govern
ment supplies for the Philippines. On
this point Mr.. Hill says that he has no
interest in having the government give
up LIS line OI transports now plying
between San Francisco and Manila
and turn the business over to the line
between Seattle and Manila beyond
the fact that if the change were made
it would make an excellent connection
for his railroad lines Mr.. Hill added
that he has no direct interest in the
Boston Steamship company, which has
made bid for the government busi-
ness. He said that the bid was so low
that il is simply impossible for the
government to do business at an equal
cost. end it is impossible, too, for any
company to buy the government trans
ports ana enter into competition with
the Seattle bid.

IN positions OF SlumDer.< UCnerS were
found in the Railways lying face down
ward npositions that mutely portrayed
how they had vainly endeavored to
save their lives. Some were half clad
and others wore nothing but night
clothing. 1t was by means of arti-
cles and letters in the pockets of what
little clothing some of the dead per-
sons wore that many identifcations
were made.
All the Rooms Were Filled.
F. A. Smith, proprietor of the hotel,
said:
81 am certainly not to blame for this
awful catastrophe. Three weeks ago
the agents of this building were noti-
fed to place a stairway in the rear of
the building and also to build a fire
wall around the freight elevator shaft
in the rear. The contractors came and
looked the building over, but nothing
was done. When the fire occurred our
seventy rooms were all filed and |
should judge that we had about 125 to
$50 guests. Most OF our guests were
persons who came to Chicago to visit
the stock show and knew little of the
DullQlnS.
Chief Musham of the fire depart
ment said that it was the worst fire
he had attended during his career as
a fireman and that so dense was the
smoke that it was impossible to reach
the imprisoned guests, who died like
rats in a cage When the firemen
finally managed to make their way
into the rooms the sight that met their
gaze was appalling. Men, women and
children lay about the floors OF the
rooms and Railways where they had
fallen in their eagerness to escape.
The building" said the chief, was
one of the worst fretraps l have ever
seen. The floors in places had cracks
in them large enough to drop penny
through and the smoke just slfted
through and suffocated the inmates OF
the rooms before they had time to
make their way into the Railways.
OF the people injured it was neces-
sary to take only three to the hospital
The others, suffering from slight cuts
and bruises or from the inhalation OF
smoke, were cared for at neighb0Ting
drug stores and departed without
their names being reported to the po-
lice. One Of the injured taken to the
hospital is w. G. Thomas Of Cedar
Rapids, a., who was badly cut and

car escaped serious injury. The men
were on their way to the bottom of
the slope for the purpose of building
platforms for the erection of pumps
that had been removed during the

TO REPEAL LAND LAWS.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Senator Quar-
les of Wisconsin has introduced bill
for the repeal of the desert land law
and the law authorizing the entry to
timber and stone lands under the
placer mining laws. and also pro-
vision for the homestead law, permit
ting the communication of homestead
entries. Senator Quarles said the in
tention of the bill is to preserve the
public lands for actual settlers, and
to that end he desired to have all laws
for the opening of the public lands,
except the homestead law, repealed.
He was convinced, he said, that these
laws had been abused. The senator
announced his determination to press
consideration of the bill. Representa-
tive Powers of Massachusetts intro
duced a similar bill in the house.

Up to 10 o'clock the previous night
persons were taken in at the hotel
and in every room or place in which
a cot could be erected it is said guests
were accommodated. At that time a
large number of stockmen with their
families were turned away. The ho-
tel was filled. Shortly after the fire
broke out the firemen rushed up the
stairway into the place and began the
work of rescue. Men, women and chill
dren were carried down ladders, fire
escapes and smoke-filled halls. In one
instance fireman of Engine company
No. 2 saved woman from running to
the rear of the building to certain
death on the fourth floor, only to be
forced to drop her from the third floor
to the roof of the building at 176 Mad

en-year-old son in her arms. She was
then carried from the roof of the build
ing to the Brevoort House, where a
physician was summoned. 1t was
found that their injuries were slight.
The building is constructed of brick
with but one stairway leading to the
upper floors and a fire escape in the
front of the building.
f. G. Weber, the night clerk, was
one of the first persons to discover
smoke on the second floor. Weber re-
fused to make any statement and after
he had secured possession of the no

Hand Blown Off.

Elmer HinksoD, whose home is in But
Ter county, met with a serious accident
while huntington the river hill a short
distance above West Hickory last Satur-
day forenoon. His companion in the
woods was Albert Bender, whom he had
asked for chew of tobacco, and while in
the act ofreaching for it he slipped from
a log on which he was standing, the
motion dscharging the shot gun and in
some unaccountable manner the full
charge passed through his left wrist. A
number of pellets also struck him in the
face, but beyond a swollen eye no trouble
is anticipated from this source. Or. w.
G. Morrow rendered the necessary surgi-
cal relief amputating the hand above the
wrist Joint. The hand was hanging only
by the skin and flesh, the bone being en-
tirely carried away by the shot. The
patient was sent on the evening train TO
the Oil City hospital, and at last accounts
was doing we'll. He is aged about Is
years, and had been employed for few
DAYS in the tannery at West Hickory.

Her suffering was terrible, but through
it all she never forgot to let her heart go
out to God, and as there would be times
when the pain would be less severe, she
would praise God and say, "Amen, Thy
will be done, Oh God" She always was
cheerful even when she was suffering
most. Surely she died triumphantly i'm
Christ. Her life was wrapped up in God,
through Christ, and all who knew her
loved her. She is now at rest, leaving us
to mourn her death bat her life aud death
will only lead us closer TO God. She is
survived by eight children and her hus-
band, who deeply mourn her taking
away. May God help us all to meet her
in heaven. H.H.s.

An "HOneSt Farmer" Who Didn't Care
TO Linger Longer.

The Titusville Herald contains the fol-
lowing: "Smith Eastman, the farmer re-
siding near Spartan burg who was ar
rested not long ago for attempting to ship
grouse by express from the Pennsylva-
MIA station at that place, has left the coun-
try. 1t is believed that he has gone to
Wisconsin, or at least to the West. Oni-
GERS haYe been searching for him and
have visited his home several times but
no trace OF him can be found. That he
had been engaged in the business Tor
some time may be judged from circum-
stance of a few weeks ago. Two Spar
tansburg gentlemen were drivit I in the
direction of Eastmau's one day and we, e
asked to leave satchel there for a young
lady who had been working in Sparlans-
burg. AS one of the men alighted from
the carriage and started toward the door,
carrying the satchel, Mrs. Eastman ap-
peared and called out, Here, you needn I
leave any partridges at this place From
present indications it would seem that
Eastman will go unpunished, but the
Spartansburg Gun Club is deserving Of
the thanks of all sportsmen for at least
ridding the country of such an undesir-
able character. Under the State law the

Mrs. DIR. Rumberger Seriously Injured.

While returning home from Foxburg
last Thursday night, Rev. c. c. Rumber-
ger and wife met with serious accident
on the new Emlenton and Foxburg road.
Rev. Rumberger and wife drove to Fox
burg to attend prayer meeting. After the
meeting they drove up the new road and
everything went well until within about
500 feet south of the Emlenton bridge,
when they met Perry Albert driving
horse hitched to a buggy going from
town. The hour was about 10 o'clock
and the night very dark. Mr.. Albert
made his presence known, the two stop
ped their horses, and Rev. Rumberger
got out from his buggy and taking his
lantern walked short distance ahead OF
his horse to look for suitable place for
the two rigs to pass. While doing this
Rev. Rumberger's horse began backing
and before he could reach him, horse,
buggy and Mrs. Rumberger ali went
over the steep embankment, landing
near the pipe line between thirty-iour
and iourty-four ieet from the road. Mrs.
Rumberger was thrown under the buggy
but fortunately between large stone and
log, so that the outfit did not rest heavy
upon her, and the horse was but a few
feet away. Rev. Rumberger aud young
Albert went to her rescue as soon as pos
sible and took her from beneath the
wreck, and placed her near tree eighty
eight feet from the road, and then made
an effort to free the horse from the buggy.
The tug, holdbac strap AMI thllcarrer
on one side were loosened, when the
horse, which had been badly stunned by
the fall, suddenly gave a fearful plunge
and landed in the river one hundred feet
from the road, taking the buggy witl'
him. As the horse and buggy passed the
tree against which Mrs. Rumberger vas
standing something hit her terrible
blow on the head rendering her uncon-
scious. Rev. Rumberger called across the
river for help, which soon arrived, and
Mrs. Rumberger was brought home and
given medical attention. The horse was
later brought over and placed in ". d.
McGinnis & Sons livery barn. Mrs.
Rumberger was not injured when taken
from beneath the buggy alter the accident
first occurred, aDd would have escaped
injury had the horse not made the fearful
plunge afterward. She has since been
confined to her bed suffering terribly
from nervous prostration occasioned by
the ordeal through which she passed.
Every one who has visited the scene
wonders how either Mrs. Rumberger or
the horse escaped alive. The horse, be-
sides being badly bruised, received bad
cut on top OF the head. The accident was
one of the worst to occur in our midst for
a long time, and the many friends Of Mrs.
Rumberger hope she may recover from
it.-EmlenlOn News.
