Fire in MeScrve'S
New Building.

At :45 last night fire broke out in
the rear of the Meserve building on
Main street. Some of the wooden
partitions built close to the brick
chimney caught fire from the intense
heat Of the fiue. There were dozen
boys swimming in the Natatorium
pool which is located Immediately in
front Of the one where the fire broke
out. They were the first to notice
the smoke and they asked that an in
vestigation be made. William Mes
erve was present. He went into the
back room and discovered the flames.
The boys scrambled out of the pool
when they heard Of their proximity
to danger. Some of them started to
run out into the bitter cold night with
nothing on but their bathing suits.
One boy in the excitement stayed be-
hind long enough to wrap his collar
around his neck and without putting
his shirt on made a dive for the front
door. The lads were held back and
told to stay where it was warm and
clothe themselves. They were soon
quieted and behaved themselves ad-
nirably after that.
OF course all this took place in less
time than it takes to tell it. Mean
while. Will Feltman one Of the boys
who happened to be dressed was told
to send in the alarm. He did so. The
fire BOYS made very quick run. They
had their wagon on the scene of the
confagrstion in the twinklinR of an
eye. it seemed They were handi-
capped at first by not being able to
see any fire from the front of the
store ON Main street. They stretched
a line of hose from the corner of
Fourth and Main. then from Fourth
and Colorado. down the post Office al
sley to the rear Of the Meserve build
ing. The fire soon yielded to the
stream that was turned uuon it. As
the walls of the building were OF
brick, there was little chance of the
fire spreading.
Only the woodwork on the inside
suffered to any extent. The damage
done. amounting to about 1915 is COW
cred by insurance.

torium held the crowd at bay that
struggled to get into the building bv
the front door.
The swimming pool was not dam
aged in the least SO that the fire will
not interfere with business.

Thursday Matinee and Night
 Lost River.

Joseph Arthur's latest play. Lost River" Is a scenic melodrama somewhat akin to Blue Jeans'' in its sensational scenes and effects. but a much better play as regards construction and dialogue. There are number of mechanical devices and much live stock used in Lost River which is described as poem of rural life. There are also some tremendously strong dramatic situations. The comedy scenea are clever and amusing, while the pathos of some of the incidents and dialogue in the Hcosier farm will appeal strongly to all lovers of somelike scenes and charac- ters. Lost River will appear at the Montgomery Theatre Thursday matinee and night. Seat sale opens this morning

ADJUSTMENTS. A Montgomery Theatre
 Tonight
The Four Cohans.

George M. Cohan's wholesome musical farce, The Governors Son." will be seen at the Montgomery Theatre tonight. Since the return to popularity of musical come dies, none have been so successful as the Four Cohans. Although most musical comedies depend upon their music and chorus many are filled to overflowing with music that does not satisfy the ear and borders too much on the operatic. Not so with The Governors Son. with it's many musical numbers. They are all bright and catchy. Music you want to hear repeated; music you can teach and learn readily. and then hum or whistle for some time to come. In regard to the chorus and the mounting of the play. nothing could be better. The chorus is 6 bevy of singing beauties. and the scenic effects and costumes are magnificent. Nearly sixty people are employed and ap- pear In the production. Seats now on sale,

PARKS IN KANSAS CITY.
Bitter Fight I'm store for Presidency of
Iron Workers.

Iron Workers.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 20.-Samuel j.
Parks Of New York arrived in this city
tonight to attend the convention of
the International Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers, which will meet here to-
morrow. His arrival aroused much ac-
tivity among the delegates already here,
which presages lively fight when the
committee on credentials shall report
on the convention in the morning. Parks
is a member of local union No. 2, which
was suspended by President Buchanan
after Parks recent imprisonment and
another local No. was established. The
executive committee of the organization
did not ratify the action of President
Buchanan and Parks and his partisans
assert that the action Of the president
is therefore null and void. The local
union of which Parks was, or is a mem
ber, in New York, has sent a delegation
of which Parks is member, to the con-
vention and the local union which was
organized after Parks and his local
union were suspended. also sent dele
cation. The strength of the Park and
anti-Parks factions in the convention
will be decided when one of these con-
testing delegations shall be seated. Each
faction is unyielding in its attitude.
President Frank Buchanan Of Chicago,
Who is an anti-Parks man, is a candi-
date for reelection. H. F. Donnelly of
Albany, N. Y, Parks supporter, is also
a candidate for president.
