A Rad Fire at L.lano.

Last Monday morning at 3
o'clock, fire broke out in the
Eastern Hotel on main street,
and destroyed that building and
the buildings containing j. M.
Wilson's grocery store, the Palace
meat market, the oressmaking
establishment of Mrs. Meek g,
the express office and the assay
ing office of G.. G Nunnelly.
The Eastern Hotel belonging to
Mrs. Laura Frazier and occupied
by Mrs. Milan, was worth, in
GLIDING furniture, about 81 800,
on which there was no insurance
Wilson had about $500 IN stock
and saved about SO worth, no
insurance. The meat market,
owned by Oscar Bugusch, suffered
u loss of about $500 with no in
surance. These two last named
buildings belonged to J. 7. White,
worth about $3.50 on which there
was $3.50 insurance. Mrs. Meeks
lost about 5000 with no insur-
ance. At the express Office and
G.. G. Nunnelly's Office almost
everything was saved. These
three last named buildings be.
longed to John Goodman, with
5000 insurance.
The cause of the fire is un-
known. The Eastern hotel was
in light flame when the fire was
first discovered. A large crowd
assembled and made brave fight
to save the buildings west OF
those burned in same block as
well as Kothmann's livery stable,
W. j. Moore's residence and the
buildings on opposite side OF
main street, which succeeded.
Those who suffered from the
fire have the sympathy of the en-.
tire community.
This is the second time that
every building has been burned
off of this ground, We suggest
that it would be far better and
cheaper in the long run to build
with stone or brick. -Llano

DEATH ROLL.
John Perry.

Del Rio, Tex, Jan, 15.-John
Perry, a wealthy citizen, and one
of the founders of Del Rio, who
settled here long before Val
Verde county was organized, was
found dead in bed this morning.
The cause of his death is old age.
He was a veteran of the Mexican
war and is thought to have been
the last of the 100 Mier prisoners
who drew white beans in the
fatal lottery at SaladO, March %,
1912. John Twohig, who after
ward became a banker of San
Antonio, was a fellow prisoner of
Mr.. Perry, and they remained
fast friends until Mr.. Twohig's
death.
He is survived by six children,
all grown, except a child of his
second wife. Their names are
Sam Perry, os Devils River
ranch, this county; John G. and
George Perry, who reside in the
Argentine Republic; Mrs. John
Hennings, of Roswell, n. NJ. ;
Mrs. Eugene Edwards, of New
York.

San Angeles Old Debt.

The City Council has under con-
sideration, a proposition from the
holders of the old City bonds to
accept in settlement of those
bonds, new bonds payable on or
before twenty years with 4% in
terest. This seems reasonable
as that is a much smaller amount
of interest than the old bonds
drew. Do the people wish our
good name and commercial faith
kept? If they do, the transaction
should be consumated.

How Cheap Baking Powder is Made

A seizure of II lot of "cheapn
baking powders by the authorities
of neighhoring city has exposed
the character of the low priced
brands of baking powders which
many manufacturers are Offering
throughout the country. The
price of the powder first attracted
attention to them. Samples were
taken and Analysed. The official
report Of the analysis showed the
stuff to be "alum powders, " com
posed chiefly of alum, sulphuric
acid and pulverized rock. The
powders were declared dangerous
TO health and several thousand
pounds were conliscated and de-
stroyed,
Physicians have frequently
cautioned consumers against NIX
ing food with these so.called
"cheap" taking powders They
are all found when Analysed, to
contain large percentages of alum
and 5ulphuric acid to which are
added various sorts of filling mat
ter sometimes both injurious and
nasty.
The high class cream of tarter
baking powders, are the most eco
nomical and wholesome and
should alu avs be selected for us.
They will be found cheaper in
the end, besides making the food
better and more healthful.

REED RELEASED.
Topeka Boys PRANK Is Rather Ex-
pensive, However.

The Emporia Republican says: s.
Reed, the Topeka boy who was brought
here yesterday by Undersheriff Cowan
on charge of petty larceny preferred
by o. NJ. White, was let go this morn
ing without a charge being made
against him in court.
The act was only boyish prank and
NJ. White was of the opinion that af-
ter paying the costs which amounted
to about $35, Reed was sufficiently pun
ished and the matter was dropped.
Young Reed is a student in the high
school at Topeka and has a most ex-
cellent reputation He was accom-
matters for him. This has been a les
son to him and to the other members
of the college and high school teams
who allow themselves to play too many
practical jokes when away from home

they reached Lunch Rock" the ter
mination of the journey made on horse
back by tourists, just half a mile from
the top. The worst of the journey was
yet to come. The last half mile which
no horse ever travelled before, is not
only a continuous succession of hard
ascents, but is attended by dangers. A
snow chute eighty feet deep and three
hundred yards wide, the feeder of the
south glacier, had first to be crossed,
and it was slippery, icy work for the
horses.
THE Slide" has been the obstacle
which has prevented all previous CHM
bers from getting a horse to the top.
Two attempts were made in 1897 by a
mountain climber named Bremen, and
both horses were lost in trying to get
up the $50 feet of THE Slide"
Four and a half hours were required to
get the animal over those dangerous $50
feet Jump Up did not belle his name.
Progress could be made only in jumps.
Beating his knees in the loose dirt, squat
ting on his launches, he went forward,
binary means of locOmotion for a horse.
These lunges~ We're punctuated by long
periods of rest Then there would come
more coaXing words from Watson, a few
encoura ging pulls the rope attached to
a halter around the animals neck, and
Jump Up would make another lunge-
1t was a tired animal that Watson and
the others had to work with, but he made
up in Willingness what he had lost in
strength. AT ha1f-paSt three O'Clock in
the afternoon the party of four and a
horse rested on the very top of uncon-
querable Shasta, 14444 feet above the
level of the sea. 1t was the first time g
horse had ever stood there.

WENT OVER THE ALTON.
How Weber and Fields Escaped an
Attachment Suit.

The box receipts of the Weber &
Fields company at the Grand opera
house. Kansas City, narrowly escaped
seizure by the sheriff last night. Weber
& Fields had contracted to go from here
to ST. Louis over the Chicago & Alton
railroad The rate for the company was
$547 Later the company began dicker-
ing to go over the Wabash for a lower
figure, and they notified the Chicago &
Alton late yesterday afternoon. There
upon the officials of the Chicago & Alton
instructed Scarritt, Griffith & Jones, at
torneys, to sue Weber & Fields and to
attach the box receipts for $547.
The suit was drawn and a deputy cir
cult clerk was found at o'clock and
the suit for attachment fled and placed
in the hands of the sheriff for service.
When the sheriff reached the theater
and Weber & Fields saw the trouble in
which they were about to get they stop
ped negotiations with the Wabash and
agreed to carry out their part of the
Contract and go over the Chicago &.
Alton, and this they did. The suit,
therefore, was dismissed this morning

WAS MRS. GEO. B. DUDLEY.
Woman Who Jumped from stormont
Hosnital WindoW.

The person who jumped out of the
third story window of StormOnt hospi-
tai, as reported in Wednesdays State
Journal, was Mrs. George b. Dudley,
the wife of the well known Topeka
sign painter. She was at the hospital
for an operation, which took place
three weeks ago. She had not recover
ed fully from the operation, and is sup
posed to have jumped from the windoY
while delirious. The only suspicious
thing about it is the fact that the hos
pital authorities denied all knowledge
of the accident
Mrs. Dudley sent the nurse from the
room to get something, and while she
was absent, climbed out of bed and
leaped from the window. She struck
the brick sidewalk below, and broke
her collar bone, one arm, and injured
herself internally.
Geo. B. Dudley said today: Il have
not been able to get much information
from the hospital management about
my wife's injury. They don't seem to
want to tell anybody about it. I don't
blame the doctors; I think they gave
her good treatment, but it seems to me
when a man is paying $25 a week for
her hospital care, and hires a special
nurse. they ought tc put screens in the
windows or something to prevent pa
tents getting out this way
Mr.. Dudley is now employed as 4
decorator of the wagons for the Sells
Downs circus. Mrs. Dudley is a cousin
of George Stansfield, the Topeka drug
giSt.

PONY UP MOUNT SHASTA.
For the First Time in History Horse
Reaches the Summit.


Dunsmuir, Cal, March 10.-A pony
has climbed Mount Shasta. the giant of
the coast range For the first time a
morse has stood upon the summit, a.
444 feet above the level of the sea. The
animal that made the long climb is a
muscular Indian pony. 1t was in
charge of Tom Watson, an old Shasta
guide.
All but overcome with fatigue the
little bronco not only made it's way
up the steep inelines and over the
treacherous passes but he carried upon
his rounded back little woman. Miss
Anna Cousins. Only for a stretch of
$50 feet up the shifting ground of "rhe
Slide" did the straining cayuse make
his way without this burden. And
when his hoofs touched the rocks of
the summit, worn out, detected and
apparently not at all elated over the
successful outcome of his difficult task,
he posed there for his photograph.
In this trip in which the old guide
accomplished the feat of getting the
first and only horse to the very top
of the mountain two days ws-e requir-
ed from Dunsmuir. The start was made
at daybreak in a surrey. An IL mile
jog along a fairly good mountain road
brought them to MeCloud, where they
stopped for luncheon. The rig was then
left behind and the procession went
ahead on horseback. The timber line,
% miles from Dunsmuir, was reached
before nightfall, and camp was struck
for the night.
The second days start was made at
three o'clock in the morning, before
even a few faint streakS of dawn were
to be seen. Watson knows every step
of his route so well that he could have
made the whole of it at night. Up they
