FIVE ALARMS ARE
ANSWERED IN HOUR

Burning Rubbish,
FIREMEN Do GOOD WORK

Five fire alarms in one hour kept things
lively at the fire houses last evening. All
runs We're made by the companies be-
tween $50 and 7:30 p. m, and in every
instance no damage was done by the fire.
The first alarm was turned in about
$40. Immediately after the severe wind
storm reached the city. The compa nies
made 4 run to the St Francis hospital,
where fire was discovered in trash pile
Just south Of the building and was being
speedily scattered by the high wind.
There were Two alarms turned in at
6:50, one from Tenth and Waco. the other
from Chautauqua street, thirty blocks
east on First Hose company No. made
the run TO Waco and Tenth, while Hose
company No. made the run east.
Fire IN a rubbish pile was the cause for
the alarm from Waco avenue. while 4
burning fUe at the home Of Henry Ether.
2l5 North Chautauqua, occasiOned the
other call.
At 1:20 an alarm was turned in from
Waco and First. where a fire had started
in the Missouri Pacific oil house. The
fire originated By spontaneous combus-
ton in some waste piled in the corner
The damage was very slight.
The last alarm was a still cali turned
In by one Of the city officers at S:15- He
discovered sparks flying from the roof OF
The new building being erected on the
corner of Emporia and Douglas avenues.
The trucks from No. were ordered to
the scene and upon investigation it was
found that some workmen who had been
employed TO furnish the tin roof had
carelessly left three soldering cans con-
tanning live Goals on the roof when they
quit work last night.
All during the night every man employ
ed in the fire departments was on duty,
Including the fire chief. and everything
was in readiness to answer at a moments
notice.
The fire engines have been oiled and
are ready for instant use said Chief
Walden last night. and every man Will
be kept on duty until after the severe
wind has quieJed.
The people in this city" continued Mr..
Walden. should be more careful with
their trash burning, especially at ms
drv. season Of the year. when the wind Is
liable to rise TO high speed in a very short
time. They should always be careful ana
never leave a trash pile burning, but
should make it their business to see thal
the fire has been extineuished before II
IS left. Il this was done the companies
would be saved long, hard runs that are
unnecessary and the city would also oe
safer"

TWO THINGS TO DO.
See That Dues Are Paid and That
Your Neighbor Belongs.

Secretary Smith of the Chamber OF
Commerce has struck upon novel plan
for letting the citizens Of Wichita know
about his organization. and also unique
way OF informing his members that they
are in arrears with their dues. Mr. Smith
is a very loyal and alert worker for the
good of the city, as will be seen in the
letter which is printed below.
II viii be readily understood by the
language of the letter that Mr.. Smith
does not believe in being neglectful with
the interests Of Wichita and incidentally
with the Chamber Of Commerce Follow
ing is the letter written by Mr. Smith to
all the members of the Chamber of Com
merce:
Mr.. Wichita Kan.
Dear Sir-A sleepy old town is a good
place to rest in but not a good place to do
business in. You will never get rich in
town which is not doing something.
whose commercial blood does not circu-
late briskly and which is not of some
financial importance in the world.
You want your town to increase in
prosperity and population and only one
thing can do this. Stand by the organi-
zation that advertises. and work for
Wichita business interests by paying
your Chamber of Commerce dues, and
seeing to it that your next door neighbor
belons 10 this organization.
Yours TO wake up Wichita.
&c. W. SMITH. Sec'y"

Millard F. Cox, of the banking de-

explains the changes in bank items as
shown by the last report on Iowa state
md savings banks. There was de-
crease of s2,50o,O0o in deposits. This
is an item of decrease apparently due to
the fact that the credits subject to sight
draft decreased also. These credits
decreased $3,500.000. What happened
appears to be that the country banks
have had use for their money on de-
posit with the city banks and have
called it in. This caused the reduction
in the two items. 1t is one of the
changes incident to the conditions OF
the years season.

Russian Eastern Army.
Liao Yang. Aug. 3o.--Thruout Sat
urday and Sunday the Russian east
ern division continued to fall back III
good order on Lao Yang, but the
movement was slow on account of bad
roads and the difficulties of transpor-
tation. The Japanese pressed closely
several times with the light batteries,
dragging their guns to the hills and
shelling the troops whose retirement
was covered by the Russian guns. Con-
sequently there were frequent artillery
duels. General Marson was wounded,
and there were. other losses of about
$50 men.
The Russian retreat from Anshan-
shan was ordered for strategic reas-
ons, practically no resistance being Of
fered. The retreat was accomplished
under great difficulty. The roads We're
washed out and heavy with mud, and
many horses were exhausted. Cossacks
and infantrymen We're harnessed to
guns TO the guns and managed to haul
them along. From dawn until dark
Sunday the eastern troops, although
fatigued by four days fighting, sustain
ed a rear guard action.
