injured more or less seriously
The fire originated from an unknown
cause in the Woodruff Hardware Cos
seyea-story building, which was re-
uuced to ashes, causing loss now es-
timated at $4,000. The recently com
pleted five-story marble front building
occupied by the Gable Piano Co. was
wrecked by the explosion, and the six
story Arnold, Henegar & Doyle whole
sale shoe house was damaged by both
fire and water. These latter buildings
were neTth and south of the Woodruff
block, respectively. AS result OF the
explosion almost all window glasses
and many show cases in nearly every
store within a radius of two blocks ~
the fire were shattered. The streets
were completely showered with frag'
ments of glass.
The blaze was confined to the Wood

opinion that they were those or an

in form it was something between a
lizard and a bird. There is evidence
that the creature was about so feet in
length. and he estimates that it's legs
were several feet long, and at least
two feet in circumference. Some
idea of the gigantic size Of the ami

presence felt in manufacturing. They
make the agricultural implements
with which the world tills Its fields,
and not long ago the writer heard an
Eastern shoe dealer say that he could
get better and cheaper shoes from
Ohio than from assachusetts. These
are only few Of the straws that show
which way the wind is blowing.
The Middle West is still inha bited
by a pioneer people: they have been
so busy getting things going that they
have had scarcely time to acquire all
the refnements (sic) Of the East, but
they are doing their best. 1t Is true
succeeded in downing the elevens Of
the Eastern universities; still we have
reason to believe that Western colleges
are fairly efficient, and turn out men
whose scholarship Is not unworthy.
When we have a great educator say
ing that the public schools OF Indian
apolis are better than those Of Boston
the West need not greatly lament its
savagery, nor resent the occasional
condescemiing smile which comes to 1t
from the Alleghanies. The East must
have some solace. and the Westerners
do not mind. They go on building
schoolhouses and roads and making
their cities beautiful.

and turning them to account In her
own housekeeping. Some Of her sons
go East and run the newspapers and
the counting houses; and some of her
daughters marry dukes and princes
and sit on thrones and other desirable
seats specially reserved for the
mighty. This does not mean that they
love the West less. but that they are

Kansas Supreme Court Holds The,
Cannot BE Prosecuted.

Kansas Supreme Court Holds They
Cannot BE Prosecuted.
Topeka, Kan, May 9.-The state
supreme court has pheld the decision
OF District Judge Hazen, in the coal
trust case, so-called, who last winter
sentenced two Kansas coal operators
for contempt of COURT for refusing to
answer questions put by county at
torney in a state investigation into the
workings of an alleged coal combine.
John Jack and John Bell, the opera
tors, refused to testify on the ground
that their testimony might incriminate
them, and were sentenced to the coun-
ty Jail.
They applied to the supreme court
for release on habeas corpus. The su-
preme court, while upholding the de-
cision Of the lower court, however,
holds that persons cannot be prosecuted
for any disclosures they may make on
the witness stand. This decision is of
the utmost importance to the state, as
it makes it possible for the attorney
general and county attorney to investi-
gate alleged violations of the law by
trusts.
