A LAMP STARTS THE BLAZE

Searsboro, June This little city
suffered from quite a severe fire early
last evening. The fire started in the
furniture store Of A. NJ. Evans and
spread north and south to tile build
ings occupied by DIR. f. N. Cooper's
office and to the barber shop Of A. J..
Crayer. All of the buildings were to-
tally destroyed Small insurance.
The fire started about $3.50 o'clock.
A ramp in some way was overturned
in the furniture store and it exploded
and communicated the fire to all
parts of the room: The building was
a white hot furnace in very short
space of time, so that nothing could
be saved. The building and contents
is a total loss. Mr.. Evans, owner ana
occupant of the building, lived in the
second story of the structure and all
Of his household effects, clothing, ETC.,
were destroyed.
The fire burned very rapidly and
could not Ne confined to the building
where it started The flames spread
on the north to the building owned
and Occupied by DR.. r. N. Cooper.
The furniture and contents of the of
fee were removed before any great
damage had been, done and the loss
here will be on the building alone,
amounting to possibly five hundred
dollars. The A. ]. Craver barber
shop on the south of the Evans store
shared the fate of the doctors office.
1t was likewise a one-story structure
worth possibly five hundred dollars.
The shop equipment was removed be-
fore the fire reached it.
The losses are as follows:
A. M, Evans, building, $1,500.00.
A.. M. Evans, stock, 100000.
A. M. Evans. dwelling, 100000.
DR.. F., N. Cooper, $4,000.

A part of the loss is covered by in
surance. The amounts and compa-
MES liable could not be ascertained.

Thought to be dead for a time, and
the incident created quite stir for
a few moments.
D fThe buildings burned were located
at the north end of the street and on
the east side. They were somewhat
separated from the business section
Of the town, a little to the south. Had
the fire got start in the blocks to
the south it would have been impos-
Z sible to save any part Of the business
section. The citizens worked like
Trojans to save property and to con-
fine the flames. Several lines of buck
cts did service and almost all of the
wells in the neighborhood were pump
ed dry.
The fire was the most costly in the
history of the town.

Government Agents Reach ST. Louis
to Probe Into Combine.
st. Louis, April A corps of
agents of the United States department
of commerce is in st. Louis inquiring
into the operations of the so-called beef
trusl. Their names and movements
are kept secret. According to infor-
nation they have been sent here by
Secretary Cortelyou, in accordance
with resolution of congress instruct
ing him to investigate "the cause of
the alleged low prices of beef cattle in
the United States in July and the un-
usually large margin between the
prices of beef cattle and the selling of
fresh beef"
The resolution directs Secretary Cor
telyou to ascertain and report whether
thep rices have been manipulated by
any corporate combination and If so,
what the capitalization, management
and profits of such combinations are.
From st. Louis the inspectors will
go to Chicago, Kansas City, st. Joseph
and probably also to Omaha.

MIGHT MAKE A DEAL.
Free Hand In Thibet for Free Hand
in Manchuria.

Free Hand In Thibet for Free Hand
in Manchuria.
ST. Petersburg, April 2.-Although
no official expression regarding the
victory of the British expedition to
Thibet is obtainable, it is certain that
the matter will not attract the atten-
ton which it would have done before
the outbreak of the war with Japan,
when Russian interest in the result of
the expedition was very keen.
The real purposes of the expedition
were then viewed with the greatest
suspicion, it being feared that defin-
lite establishment of British influence
over the grand lama of Lhassa, which
was regarded as Great Britain's object,
would be regarded as a severe blow
to Russian Prestige both in Thibet and
China.
The situation is now changed, be-
cause Russia g hands are at present too
full to leave her free to act, even if so
disposed, and, secondly, perhaps of
more Importance, because there are
now increasing indications that better
relations between Great Britain and
Russia are now in sight, or, at least,
there is an increasing desire for such
relations by both countries.
Some of the leading newspapers
have turned a complete somersault,
notably the Novoe Vremya. Only yes
terday morning the Novosti calmly
discussed Great Britain's long-sustain-
cd <~ col 1sak 10
over Thibet as being in fair way to
succeed, declaring that neither Russia
nor China would object, while spe-
cial dispatch from Paris correspond
ent Of the Novoe Vremya said that an
entente between Russia and Great
Britain would be effected on basis of
a Russian free hand in Manchuria and
British free hand in Thibet.
In best informed circles, however,
a definite rapproachment is regarded
as premature at the present time, and,
indeed, impossible, while Great Brit
aims ally is at war with Russia New
ertheless. the Associated Press is in
possession of information that King
Edward is looking forward to and
| clearing the way for an intente.
One Of the best informed diplomats
is bold enough to predict that the ba-
sis of settlement will include giving
Russia, If victorious, what she wants
in Manchuria, the opening or neutral
ization Of the Dardanelles and the out
Let to the Persian gulf in return for an
absolute guarantee Of Great Britain's
Indian frontier and of her predominant
| ing influence in Thibet.

FIGHTING IN THIBET
COL. YOUN0HUSBAND'S FORcE
ATTACKED NEAR 0URU.
British Were Taken Completely NV
Surprise, Not Anticipating ANY
Hostile Demonstration - Grea,
Britain and Russia May Make
Deal.

London, April 2.-The India Office
has issued long dispatches, sent by
Col. Yonughusband, commanding the
British mission to Thibet, through
Lord Curzon, viceroy of India, which
confirm the statement of the Associated
Press concerning the engagement be-
tween the British and Thibetans. near
Guru.
The dispatches add that it was the
Lhassa general who fired the first shot.
thereby exciting the Thibetans to at
tack, and show that but for the fact
that the Thibetans were so hemmed in
that they could not use their weapons
the British loss might have been much
more serious.
Later dispatches to the Associated
Press show that so little was the onset
expercted that the British officers were
eating sandwiches and adjusting cam
eras. Mr.. Gambler, the unfortunate
correspondent of the Daily Mail, was
sitting unarmed, writing He had a
narrow escape from death, receiving
twelve wounds.
Col. Younghusband and his staff
were not far distant, and also wholly
unframed, and it is evident that but
for the personal courage and presence
of Col. Macdonald and his officers a
serious disaster might have occurred.
