THE ELK scoRcHED.
Overheated Furnace in Basement
Causes Slight Damage.

Between 9 and 10 o'clock Wednes-
day night, when the wind that was
sweeping through the valley was at
it's worst, an alarm of fire was sound
ed and considerable apprehension was
felt by many lest the fire might get
beyond the control of the department
and serious loss ensue. With usual
promptness the department responded
and soon succeeded in extinguishing
the blaze, which proved to be in the
basement of the Elk, James McCor-
mick's hotel
The fire was caused by an over
heated furnace, the hot air pipes OF
which were placed too closely to the
ceiling overhead and also against a
partition on one side. When discover
ed the fire had gained considerable
headway and soon would have assum-
ed dangerous proportions. To get at
it effectively hole had to be cut into
the floor above and into this the
streams of the chemical engines were
turned. After a stubborn little fight
it, was extinguished, entailing damage
to the extent of about $50.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison (Kan.) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every neigh
borhood. One of the most terrible
things in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the night by whoop
from one of the children. The Group
remedies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of Group, as a revolver is
sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tulu, but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better, and does not cost
so much. 1t causes the patient to
throw up the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

1T WAS GENERAL.
Wednesdays Storm Extended Over
Great Part of West.

Wednesdays snowstorm, unexpected
as it proved to be and unusual for
this season as it is regarded, seems
to have been only the fag end of
as the coast and south into Colorado,
Wyoming, Utah and Nevada 1t origi-
mated on the coast, taking the form OF
torrential rains in California, Oregon
and western Washington, accompan-
led by gales that threatened to demol-
ish everything in their path On the
coast it had its beginning last Satur-
day and the intervening time was
required for it to reach the country
on the east side of the Sierras and
Cascades. For five days it rained
without cessation in the Puget sound
regions, finally ending in snow
storm, something of rare occurrence
in those parts. In the passes of the
Cascade mountains snow fell to
depth of five feet on level and it
was still showing when the local storm
began.
At Butte much snow fell and the
temperature was decidedly low, in
fact ice formed of sufficient thickness
to make skating possible and the rinks
there have opened for the season.
Helena was not sighted and received
about six inches of snow, while the
thermometer was not at all backward
in getting out of sight in the lower
levels. Street car traffic was greatly
interfered with because of drifting
snow and stormy weather.
All of the counties of the western
part of the state report much snow
and cold. The same report comes from
the counties on this side of the main
range, but the storm proved welcome
there, as it afforded the long and much
needed moisture for the range. The
only fear expressed was that excep-
tionally cold weather might follow,
which would have disastrous results
for the stockmen. In Madison county
the snow was reported as being two
feet deep, but chinook followed i'm
mediately in the wake of the storm
and the snow began to disappear rapid
ly. The same report was made from
Beaverhead county.

and the court decides that the legisla-

different punishments for the two

The poolrooms Of the state are not
closed except at Dallas and those are

was originally aimed at them, but
they have found way to evade it and

homes and owning the houses in which
they live.
The city was laid out according to
the Spanish idea, and the buildings are
entirely of Spanish or Moorish de

are similar to both the French and the
Spanish in construction They are all

The houses are two stories in height,
the second story extending out some

dants from woman who for forty
years was "a thief, drunkard and a

to an end in the last year of the eight

traced the lives of 709 of this woman's
descendants from youth to old age and
of these 142 were beggars and sixty.
TOUR more lived on charity. Among the
women 181 lived disreputable lives and
there were in the family seventy-six

All over Manila the houses are in

they are most numerous in the older
houses of the walled city, where their
prey is more plentiful. These little
hazards feed upon all kinds of insects,
and, to large extent are probably
the cause of the scarcity of flies and
other insects.
No screens of any kind are found in
any of the houses, and Mandates con.
