Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-

pork" " was the advice to the
consumptivc 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the consumPtivc needs
most.

ception. all the dead are children and
eight were so badly hurt that they were
removed to a hospital. The oldest is IA
year old girl Incendiaries are thought 70

they were met with great clouds OF
choking smoke while the flames were
rapidly closing in about them. Be

serves from nearby station had res

building. When the firemen came
human lines were formed from the
fire escapes and the screaming women
and children were lowered to the
pavement The flames burst from
windows all about them, and the
clothes of many of them were burned
from their bodies.
At the same time firemen with seal
ing ladders had reached the roof and
were carrying down to safety the fren-
zied women and children who had been
driven from the blazing rooms. Many
persons unable to reach either roof

a blazing room by a fireman. Their
night clothes were burning, their hair
burned from their heads and their
bodies blistered. They We're taken to
a hospital in a serious condition. Their
rescuers suffered severely from smoke
and heat. A few moments later three

scious, were found in the upper part
of the building and carried out by
the firemen. IS the rescuers rushed
to the street, three other firemen,

READY TO MEDIATE.
President Roosevelt Will Act as Soon
as BelIigerents Are Willing.

Washington, Oct. 1.-THE war in
the east has enlisted the closest atten-
ton of the administration and it is felt
that the time is approaching when it
will be in order for the great neutral
powers to move towards the restora-
ton of peace. President Roosevelt has
from the first stood ready to use his
good offices to stop hostilities on a
basis honorable to both belligerents,
but he is estopped from moving by the
fact that it has been the unbroken
rule of our government to wait until it
is assured that both sides to a contro-
versy of this kind are willing that we
should act. There has so far been no
open proposition nor can it be truth
fully stated that even an indirect over
ture has come to Washington from ST.
Petersburg or Toxic. but it is believed
that the signs point to an early move
in that direction.

CAB FELL SO FEET.
Four Occupants Jumped in Time to

Kansas City, Oct. 1T.-Five persons
escaped certain death by almost a
hairs breadth at sig o'clock last evs

four were riding returning from a fu-
neral Elunged over the Troost ave-
nue. viaduct at the Belt Line tracks

before it fell were Edwin J. Colvin. vice
president of the Traders bank, Mr..
and Mrs. Harry E. Colvin, 423 jack

Colvin saw the danger and threw the
carriage door open, jumping out him

him. They fell to the pavement, but
were only slightly bruised. Mrs. Col

who sold the bonds to the school fund
were allowed to clip off the first cou-
pons coming due as a premium on
the bonds.
Mr. KelIy's theory might be correct
if the facts were not different. In
neither of these cases are the short
ages on the first coupons on the bonds
The johnson county bonds were pur-
chased in 1890, so that for ten years
the state had been collecting interest
on them. The coupons on which the
shortage of $2,625 occurred were the
twentieth coupon on each of the
bonds.
The Reno county bonds were pur-
chased in 1899. The shortage of ST.
$50 occurred in the payment of the
third coupon on each OF the Keno
county bonds, and not the first. That
is one reason why Mr.. Kelly's theory
is impossible.
Another reason is that the number
of coupons on each bond at the time
it goes to the auditors office is mat
ter of record in the auditors office.
There iS a possibility of clerical err
ror in this registration, but when it
is backed by other evidence the rec
ord certainly ought to be considered
correct. This is the way it became
known that Secretary of State Burrow
coupons from the Smith Center bonds
he sold to the state. From one bond
all he coupons had been clipped, and
this fact is so recorded in the auditors s
office.
Therefore, Mr. H. B. Kelly's ex-
planation does not explain, for he reas-
ons from the wrong premises. The
theory which he advances was all gone
over long ago, but the facts all dis
proved that it applies in any of the
shortages which have thus far been
reported in the state treasury.
Coleman Sees Bailey.
Attorney General Coleman had a con-

Bailey talked little about the matter.
The governor received a telephone mes

not reach Topeka until this evening Mr.
Rowett has been in New York for %he
past ten days investigating the records at
the fiscal agency and he was expected in
Topeka this morning, but he was about
sick when he reached his home in Kan
sas City, Kan, and stopped over there

SUPPLYING POLO PONIES.
some Sent from Colorado to Clubmes
In India and Asia-BrOncOs
DO Good Work.

The business of supplying polo
ponies to the crack clubs Of the big
cities has grown to such an extent in
Colorado that contractors now make
fancy terms every year furnishing
trained animals to the wealthy patrons
Of the sport OF late years there has
been an attemot to raise the standard
OF polo ponies as to blood, says Out
doors. Excellent results have been
achieved, and it is claimed that a we'll
bred pony, raised in the Rocky noun
tains and allowed to run until two years
old cannot be excelled for polo pur-
poses. Another good class Is the bron-
cho that has been trained to cattle work.
A broncho of this sort is used for pick
Ing certain cattle from a herd and to
obeying almost every thought of his
rider. This training is invaluable to
the polo field. where pony must act
largely of his own accord. Consequent
ly many cowboy. tempted by a good
offer. has parted with his dearest COM
panion, while the alert little broncho,
that has spent his early years nosing
out cattle or in participatingiin the ex-
elements Of the roundup, wins the APP
plause of connoisseurs at many we'll
fought field battle.
Some of the polo ponies from the
western range have been sent to In
dia, and others have gone to some of
the wealthy English clubmen at
Asiatic stations. They rarely break
down, except from age. and seem to be
good for many years of hard polo work
In any climate. Their good record in
this most difficult and dangerous of
sports is fine tribute to the quality
and staying powers Of American
horses.
