ceived here indicate that five persons
have been burned to death and 5000
square miles of territory in Kiowa and
Comanchc counties swept by prairie fires.
| Hundreds of people are homeless, and it
is impossible to estimate accurately the
financial loss, owing to the wide extent
of country affected. Lives have also
been lost by fires in other sections.
Following is partial list of the killed
and injured.
ID. Harmond, living six miles north.
east of Lawton, burned to crisp.
John Harmond; cannot live.
A. y. Crawford, near Lawton; seri-
ously burned.
Mrs Henderson, widow, living near
Lawton, and two daughters seriously
burned; one cannot live.
At Hobart, the county seat of Kiowa
county, the fire approached from the
cast, destroying the stables and 10 race
horses, 10 residences, two business
houses and various small buildings.
Spreading to the southwest the fire
swept ~, 600 acres of government mill
tary and timber reserve and Indian
school reserve destroying several Indian
houses and 40 head of government cattle.
Spreading westward the flames covered
miles of the Homestead district, destroy
ing houses, barns and stock. 1t was in
this district that five persons are report
ed to have perished in attempting to
protect their property. The names OF
three have been learned. They are as
follows:

Ting with the approaching flames. The
advance line of the fire was fully two
miles in length, and came in semi
circular form.
A thousand men turned their efforts to
checking the grass borders Of the rcser-
walton at the city limits. Water from
every source carried in every conceiv-
able way, was distributed along this
line and carried all around the city
limits This served the purpose Of check
ing the advance lines of the fire. but was
of little avail in hindering the continual
rolling OF the fircbrands into the streets
Of the city.

 Mayor Elton may expostulate as long and as eloquently as he pleases upon the merits of his street cleaning brigade, but he never can convince the public that it is in it at that busi- ness with rattling thunder shower, such as we had last night. The streets never were cleaner than they are at the present time, but his honor needn't think he can fool the taxpayers into the belief that this is due to the good offices of a republican administration. The elements did the job and there was no politics in it's movements, eith- CT, the democratic districts coming in for share of the cleaning up just the same as places where members of the opposite party are in the ascendancy.

Well, II they do not partake of the kind of drinks we sell it's their own fault. We ad- vertise our goods every morning ana evening and we always claim to pc able to strengthen the nerves and keep the brain in good working order therefore it's up to you.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneu- monia always results from cold or from an attack of the grip, and by the proper treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as during the thirty years and more that Chamber lain's Cough Remedy has been used, we have yet to learn of single case of a cold or attack of the grip having re- suited in pneumonia when this remedy was used It is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. pr. w. J. Smith, of Sanders. Ala, who is also a druggist, says of it: 'I have been selling Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and prescrib- ing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best re- sults." Sold by all druggists.

 The new D. c. power line to the concentrator was finished Thursday. The line is to carry 150 horse power for the present, but increase of its ca pacity will speedily be necessary. Work for 200 horse power is said 10 have been laid out already for the line at the concentrator end. The poles put up are substantial and the wiring good job. No difficulty will present to greatly increase the voltage of the line.
 Since the Montezuma and Yankee blacksmith shop fires, the D. c. has had an increased supply of fire extin- guishers placed at all of it's buildings on that side of town. Used promptly | these extinguishers will get in quick work with most any ordinary blaze, as was well demonstrated in the recent Blue mine fire.

 While endeavoring to shove a big block of ore i1to the chute at the con- centrator Wednesday, the crowbar with which A. H. Anderson was wotk- ing slipped. The man was thrown head first into the chute, striking the ore which filled it to within twelve feet of the top on his shoulders. He was thought to have been seriously hurt at first, but on examination at the hos pital it was found that though severe, his injuries were not likely to prove serious Had the accident happened the day before Anderson could have fallen sixty feet, the chute being thea about empty. A fall of that length into the chute would have almost necessar- fly been fatal.

One day young boy came running breathlessly toward him. Say teacher" he gasped, my ma wants to know if you like pork?" Indeed, I do like pork" the teacher
