HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST IN 4 CHICAGO THEATRE,
OVER SEVEN HUNDRED KNOWN TO HAVE pERI5HED.

passed and repassed within a block
without it. Hundredsrof police
men stationed in the roadway were
asking one another if there had
been any of the audience badly
hurt. But when from the inside
began to stream a procession of
hremen carrying bodies, the scene
without changed as if by magic
From every business street of the
city men whose wives and families
had gone to the matinee, streamed
10 the theatre with white faces and
eyes blinded with tears and scream
ed like madmen the names of those
they were seeking. Many of them
found their loved ones safe. but
still half crazed in surrounding
stores and hotels. Others discov
cred them among the dead by some
particle of dress, a halfcharred
hair ribbon, shoe or a locket
Others are still searching .,and will
continue to search, before they can
finally assure themselves that the
happiness of their lives has been
hopelessly blighted. No list of
the dead has as yet been given out,
nor will it be until late this even
ing, and it is thought by many
when the count is made of the
bodies of little children who were
helpless to eXtricate themselves or
to light for their liberty, the mum
Der of the dead will exceed one
thousand.

This is by far the most horrible
occurrence of the year, and the
scenes described are awful in their
intensity. From pit to dome the
house was packed, the wealth and
fashion of the city being present.
Even the boxes were crowded to
their utmost capacity, while the
first floor, the galleries and the pit
were literally damned with people.
Eddie Foy, the chief comedian of
the "Mr. Bluebeard" company was
the first to discover the fire and as
it burst upon the gaze of the vast
assemblage he very heroically
stepped forward and endeavored to
quiet the audience. Before man
or woman could raise from their
seats the flames had burst forth all
about the stage and were spread
ing to the ceiling. For a moment
speechless horror reigned, then
followed an agonized vail and be-
gun the terrible scenes of death.
Women and girls in the gallery
never had a chance for life. They
met the end still seated in their
theatre chairs, their hands burned
into one commingled cinder with
the sides of the seats they had
when the panic came.
Others who had managed by sheer
strength of terror to get into the
aisles found their end in a mingled

"eihS fnbiished in West Virginia News

The newspapers of the border

Gently been publishing veryIalarm-
ing and false reports with reference
to the smallpox situation in Oak
land.
Last night the attention of this
paper was directed to adjudication
appearing in the Kingwood Leaaer
whereby it was made to appear in
scare headlines that at present there
are thlrty-seven casesof smallpox in
Oakland and that the daughter of
Mr.. John Elliott, of Loeb LYNN
Heights, had died as a result of
the disease, the physicians treat
ing the child for scarlet fever.
These statements cannot be borne
out by the facts and are false in
every particular There are less
than thirty-seven cases of smallpox
III the entire county of which num-
Der there are eight in Oakland.
The child Of Mr.. Elliot's above re-
terred to was i'll of scarlet fever
and was convalescent when it in
some manner bruised its elbow
and as a result of this injury gang
rene took place which was the di-
rect cause of its death. The daueh-

contracted the disease by coming
in contact with persons who had
developed the disease at Loeb

HICKS PREDIcrs/BAD WEATHER.
First Month of IoS4 viii Give Us Wide
Variety.

Rev Irl R Hicks, the St. Louis
weather man makes these predic.
tions for January
By the 2hd wave of rising TEN.
perature 9ud falling barometer will
appear iE western sections, cloudi-
ness Will quickly gather in the
same 9reas, and storms of rain and
then fleet and snow will pass east
wardly over the country, on and
aboht the 3rd and 4th. Winter
thEnder storms on and touching
the 4th should be no surprise, and
2 rapid and violent change to high
barometer, high northwesterly
gales and very cold, should be
counted on in the immediate rear
OF the storm areas. Shelter should
be sought for man and beast while
the barometer is still low, and be-
fore the storms eliminate.
The days of the greatest storm
probability are the Sth, roth and
nth. AS we enter this period
look for changes to warmer in the
west, winds will shift to southerly
and easterly, and the barometer
will fall. Reactionary period is
central on the I4th, 18th and 10th.
The prevailing cold will soften
about the 18th and the barometer
will fall in the west, bringing
renewal of rain and snow-mostlv
snow as the wave works eastward
during the 18th and 10th. It is
rare thing for storm conditions to
break up Immediately preceding a
new moon. When the moon is
nearing the celestial equator, espe-
cially when on its way from south
declination, the effect is to prolong
high temperature and low barom-
eter.
The probabilities are that most
parts of the country will enter the
fourth storm period from the 18th
to ED, in perturbed, if not stormy
state of weather. A marked in
crease of warmth will be noticeable
on and about the 10Th, with posi-
bly, winter lightning and thunder.
Look for rain about the same time,
turning into Billiards and snow
and sleet, as the storm areas travel
eastward across the country during
the goth, 2Ist and 22nd.
The 25th, 10th and 27th are the
central days of the fifth storm ne
Rod. AT this, as we'll as other
storm periods, perceptible rise of
temperature will set in early in the
west, falling barometer will quick !
Iy ensue, and cloudiness, with
return of rain and snow, will make
their regular march eastward across
the country.
