College Girls Rooted Out of Bed by
Fire in House.

Des Moines, Jan. U.s. Sitting
smoke broke the beauty slumber Of
Highland Park college girls in their
Hawthorne cottage dormitory last
night at 10 o'clock, and they were
forced to flee from flames into the
cold night thinly clad, while young
men students rescued their trunks
and belongings.
The flames, which nearly destroyed
the building, originated from defec-
tive fiue, and though the fire COM
pany brought three streams of water
to play upon the building it had
great difficulty in getting control OF
the fire. 1t is claimed the loss will
be about $4,000.
The fire started on the second floor,
where the girls sleep, and as they
rushed through the smoke-filled hall
ways their screams gave tine alarm to
the neighborhood. AS they fled into
the bitter cold they were. met by
kindly neighbors who hurried them
into warm homes.

thrown ont of work and not a single
wage has been reduced. The strikes,
particularly in the building industries
OF the country, have resulted in the
idleness OF more than a hundred thou
sand men for a greater or less portion
of time during the past few months.
The eXorbitant high price of raw cot
ton has made its use almost prOhib-
tive, and it has been necessary recent
ly TO meet this enhanced price of
raw material by a slight reduction
in the wages of operatives. The fall
ing off in building and constructive
enterprises has reduced to some eX-
tent the demand upon our iron and
steel Industries, and yet the business
being done is very satisfactory. The
railroads of the country have been
for months, and are still, unable to
handle all the business offered them,
and the gross and net earnings of
nearly every road in the country is
still around high water mark regard
less of the fact that the quotations
OF the stock of those roads have
fallen in some cases from 20 to so

reduce our duties. Moreover there Is
no reason why we should not enjoy
still increased prosperity IL VIC should
increase the duties upon commodi.
ties, which would insure a home pro.
duction instead Of importations on
commodities amounting to nearly half
a biliioa dollars annually.
Much as we need greater protec.

better on the whole that we do not
change the tariff in any respect for
some time to come. Let II remain as
it is, the great saving factor, as it
