Some one has discovered that the beauti-

having their laundry work done by ma

laundry department. where the work for
the school is attended to.
1t has at last dawned upon some prac-

the girls from the teepees and the wig

able amount, while the buildings for the
detention of the prisoners would need to be
built as strongly as any prison, because
a large part of the men in the State Prison

such it has escaped record in the tables

Peoples Furniture House
 Has Close Call

What came near being a disasterous fire occurred in the furniture store of E. R. Peoples, on Fifth avenue, at $50 o'clock yesterday morning. The fire was ignited on the second floor of the building, and, though the fire was dis covered at once, before an alarm could be turned in it had such a start that the destruction Of the building was threatened But prompt action on the part of the fremen and Major Terrett's soldiers saved the day. It was just three minutes from the first tap of the bell until two steady streams of water were being played upon the flames.
 Though the fire was confined to the second floor Of the building, the stock Of goods down stairs was removed into the street
 The fire was started by the head of a match. which was struck on stove, flying across the room and lodging on an open bale of cotton, around which was other iudammable material.
 The loss will probably approximate 5000. There was no insurance.
