Collapse Of Denver Building.

collapse OF Denver BUILDING.
Denver, May 9.-One Woman is
dead. man is missing and probably
jured as n result Of the collapse of
the building at Nos. 1510-12-14 Lari-
mer street, little before s o'clock
last night. Firemen and policemen
persons were not accounted for and it
was feared had gone down with the
building.
Michaelson Brothers occupied the
ground floor of the building with n
large stock of furnishing goods
Above were rooms. in many of which
was valuable furniture and other per-
sonal property. All will be a total
loss. The financial loss is estimated
at 100000.
The building was undergoing repairs
which contemplated alterations to the
front. For this reason the front. was
temporarily supported by heavy tim
bers. 1t is supposed that the cause of
the collapse was the pushing over of
the old walls by the heavy supports
The contractor and others had said
that the work was being properly done
and the building perfectly safe.
Following are the dead and injured:
MRS. THOMAS MKERNAN, died

New Army Rifle Favored.

Washington, May 9.-The army
board which has been for months past
considering the merits of the new ser.
vice rifle or musket has finally de-
clared in favor of n weapon with n
barrel only twenty-four inches in
length, using n 80 ball.
The new gun is n remarkable weap-
on, according to the ordnance officers,
for while 1t is four inches shorter than
the krag, and only two inches longer
than the carbine. 1t is more powerful
than either, with higher initial We.
locity and flatter trajectory.
1t can easily penetrate twenty-four
one-inch pine planks. 1t is u pound
lighter than the service rifle, which
Is a consideration in the tropics. A
new feature is a complete encasement
OF the barrel in wood, to prevent burn
ing the hands of the marksman when
the gun is rapidly discharged.
The weapon was evolved by United
States army officers and is not patent
ed. 1t is asserted to be the most pow.
erful musket in the world.

WICHITA BARRIERS OBJECT.

Thu master BARRIERS OF Wichita met last
evening and adjourned to meet again
Thursday at 81 East Douglas avenue, for
the purpose OF forming an association
and considering the sterilizing system
that has been ordered by the state board
OF barber examiners to be used in every
shop in a town OF more than certain
number Of inhabitants.
The BARRIERS Of wichita in general con-
slider the sterilizing order. as gotten UP
hv the board. an unjust one They de-
clare that it carries the sterilizlng matter
TO an unnecessary extreme and useless
expense.
One OF the rules which are stuck up in
a prominent place in every shop is that
the floor must be scrubbed with Ger
tain temperature OF wate- every night
with certain disinfectants IN the water.
and thar the crevices in the woodwork
must be scraped out with some suitable
instrument. presumably such 2 one as a
hair pin. Again. q rule says that the bar

MEET WITH SUCCESS
Solicitors for Interurban Find
Plenty of Signers.
GOOD THINGS FOR FARMERS
They See Possibilities of Road
and Are Asking for 1t.

In the matter of progressive spirit the
farmers of Salem township are ahead so
far 1t is the first township along the
entire route OF eight miles to declare for
the interurban railroad The petitions are
all signed up there by a practically unan-
imous voice of the taxpayers.
The city of Wichita came next. The
petitions were completed yesterday, so
far as having enough names 10 call the
bond election is concerned. More people
are asking TO sign them and il is prob
able that the solicitors will take several
more days in order TO interest them in
the election.
The interurban company have begun the
circulation of petitions in Garden Plaine
township and so far have met with re-
markab bic success. Out of forty people
seen only two refused and one of them
said that while he was enthusiastically
in favor of getting the road he had some
personal reasons for not signing and
wished the canvasSers success.
Monday morning petitions will be
started in oxford township in Sumner
county. and splendid results are expected
from there.
1t is now almost safe TO say that the
interurban will be declared for by every
township along the line which shows
that the people not only intend To be up
TO date. but that they know a good thing
when they see it.
The building of the road will affect the
oil Of al h..
line in making ii desirable on account of
the accommodations it will afford as well
also as causing more people and more
business to concentrate near it. 1t will
be bon for the farmers who will live
adjacent to it by enabling them. among
other advantages, TO produce marketable
commodities that they cannot now find
market for without going 10 more ex-

and taxable values In there can be no
doubt
President 0. A Boyle OF the interurban
company is very much gratifed over the
outlook.

GET THE BUSINESS
Wichita Grain Dealers Handle
100000 Blu. of Wheat a Day.
MINNEAPOLIS COMES HERE
Dealers Have Purchased Half
Million Blu. of New " heat.

The grain dealers of this city are doing
history of the business here. Daniel Hee-
nan of c. X. Nevling Grain company
said last night that the dealers of this
city are handling over 100000 bushels of
wheat a day. Anyone he said could as
certain the truth of this statement by
ascertaining the amount Of money sent
to the county every day by the big banks
of this city.
Mr.. Stevens of the Stevens Scott Grain
company said that two of the leading
firms of Minneapolis had come TO Wich-
tia and made contracts to bring their
wheat hehe thus putting Wichita on
equal footing with Kansas City for the
northern business. Minneapolis dealers
have already secured about half mil
lion bushels of Kansas hard wheat from
the Wichita grain dealers.
1t is admitted that the grain business
here was given a boost by the food at
Kansas City. The railroads and the ele-
vators at Kansas City were put out of
business for considerable length of
time by the high water. UnGer ordinary
conditions an increase OF business that
came to one CONNIE vcial center on ac-
count of temporary misfortune of
competing point would not be lasting but
the grain dealers here claim that the
trade has simply returned to its natural
channels from which 1t had been turned
unnatural trade conditions created by the
\ hot NM n
the trade would remain here.
The Stevens-Scott Grain company is
rushing its elevator. The big stone foun-
dations are now completed and great
piles of lumber are being delivered on
the ground for the new building. The
switches will be put in this week. The
Great Western Manufacturing company
of Leavenwo-th has been given the con-
tract to furnish the machinery and the
company will send a mill wright to look
over the plans for the building and for
set the machinery The large timberS
already delivered on the ground indi-
Gates that the building will be strong and
durable.
II is the intention of the Stevens
Scott company to push the work until
the elevator Is coIHplcttN Ai-C WV &C.,
is needed very much at the present time.
The large Nevl.ng elevator is doing
large business ard the building is now
receiving a coat of black rust PROOF
paint The Stevens-Scott Grain company
will put in corn chop machinery of the
latest pattern in addition to the elevator
machinery.
When it is remembered that the ca
pacity of the Cudahy packing house Is
being redoubled. that the capacity OF the
Watson mills is being doubled and that
the location of Dolds car shops at this
place has been determined, some idea
of the increase of business in the pack
ing house district may be inferred. There
is no boom in that section but the growth
of business promises great things Tor
