PEOPLE IN A PANIC.

Rucsrus. o.. oct. 14.-Fire originated
under the grandstand and wiped out
the Crawford fair buildings this after
noon. stampeding thousands of per
sons, many OF whom were hurt in
their frantic efforts to escape danger
A gasoline stove exploded and the FIRE
spread so rapidly that the flames got
beyond control in a few minutes. The
grandstand was crowded for the rae
ing and when the alarm was given,
flames and smoke We're issuing from
the floor and men. women and chill
dren made a mad rush for the exits.
Many were knocked down and jump
eel on while others Ieaped to the track.
u feet below.
suH others. caught in the flames were
badly burned, Within few moments
after the fire was discovered the entire
grandstand was wrapped in flames
which, driven by a stiff breeze, com
municated to buildings nearby. The
flames then ieaDed from building to
building until all were in ruins or 50
badly damaged that they are worthless.
Two women, it was rumored, were
burned in one of the buildings, but no
trace of the bodies can be found and
the report is thought to be untrue. The
buildings were insured but the loss on
exhibits was total
The canvas used by the farm nipple
ment was swept away and d mass of
flame from the building played upon
a acre OF implements, buggies and
Windmills destroying them Women
in charge of exhibits In the halls had
only time to seize their personal be-
longings and escape.
In less than half an hour the entire
fair was wiped out. Buildings not de-
stroyed were dismantled and valuable
exhibits burned.

had been scared away from the whale
by Raven boy.
They all laughed heartily, and the
seal meat and blubber was divided be-

the Seal-men said No; Mink-boy
could have a double portion. but not
Raveu-boy. Raven-boy had been too
impudent in trying to scare them away.

not get any meat at ALL"
They gave him one share, however
on his promising never to try to scare
ANYBODY again. and all had a most en-
JOyable party.

Solution to the Hunter Puzzle.

The hunter shown in last sundays
puzzle picture was hunting duck He
scored a hit with his last shot.
The fact that he was hunting duck
is shown by the surroundings. He was
in a boat and there was nothing ex-
cept water and low reeds in front Of
him.
That he hit with his last shot was
proved by the fact that no bird was
shown in the picture as flying away.
The smoke was still curling from the
muzzle of his gun, therefore the shot
had been fired that very moment and
if it had missed the bird would have
been seen escaping. At it was, it is
clear that his shot had hit the bird
and that it had fallen into the reeds.

Black as a thunder cloud am I,

Men can do little work and not
Have me lowering over the spot.
On every building that they shape
They leave a place for me to escape:
Man cannot keep warm or bake his

Without having me rise overhead.

The Arkansas river. says the
Hutchinson Bee. has always been
called the friend of southwestern
Kansas. We have dug its sand out
Of our eyes. watched it overflow our
crops. contributed few bridges to
its nav. but always stood by it..
When the irrigationists took the
moisture out to enrich eastern Colo
RADIO we took it for granted that the
river was not q party to the rob
berry; that the water was purlOined
while the river was fat on its bed,
50 to speak. But now that the state
Of Kansas is trying to regain from
Colorado the purloined gems Of
radiant moisture. the river refuses
to turn states evidence. 1t has. in
fact. become an accOmplice of Colo
RADIO, for every time the commits
sioners go on trip through the
valley securing testimony. the river
fills up on Colorado rain water and
goes on a tear. To-day the Colora-
do investigators are holding ses-
sion in Hutchinson before the
United States commissioner. and
the Arkansas river is just neatly
finishing a coup in which enough
Colorado rain was used to flush the
river valley from the mountains to
the Mississippi river. Inconsistent

In speaking Of the movement to
secure desirable class of immigra-
ton to the Arkansas Valley the
Pueblo Chieftain says:
1T ought to be borne in mind that
the conditions as they now exist In
the Arkansas Valley are quite differ
ent from those obtained in most re-
gions to which immigration is invit-
ed. There are no cheap" lands in
the Arkansas Valley in Colorado.
Every foot of land that can be irri-
gated is valuable. and the newcomers
must expect to pay more for small
er tract of land than they could Sc
cure in some Of the northern and
western states where irrigation is
not practiced. But the land is
worth all the money that is asked
for it..
When We consider the product
iveness of the soil, the certainty Of
water supply insuring the regularity
of the crops, the salubrity of the
climate both in summer and winter,
the nearness Of good markets and
other matters. the argument in IA
vor Of Colorado is one that cannot
be resisted by those that are famil-
lar with all the circumstances. But
because those circumstances differ
from those that commonly prevail in
in other parts Of our country is all
the more reason why our business
leaders should make it part Of their
duty TO supply reliable and intelligi-
bic information regarding Colorado
to those that would like to know
sbout these things"

CITY ceS~eu.

The city council met last Friday
night in adjourned session to discuss
the question of raising funds to inn
prove the water plant and make the
extensions that have already been
ordered in Bradish addition. The
twelve-inch wooden stave pipe line
leading from the reservoir south to
Ration avenue, for distance Of over
1000 feet, is leaking badly and will
either have to be taken up and re-
placed with iron pipe or repaired
temporarily. II is also the inten-
ton to lay a cross main east and
west. near the city limits, in order
to connect the dead ends" Of
mains running north and south,
which will give a continuous circuit
and improve the service on Mob
hill in the southwest part Of town.
Extensive improvements are also
necessary at the pump house. and it
is thought that not less than
800 will be needed to place the
water plant in first-claS shape.
City Attorney Miller was instructed
to correspond with the Rollins In
vestment Company. Of Denver, with
q view to securing their services in
handling q bond issue for that
amount.
Owing to the enormous expense
Of operating the water plant ut the
present time the city council decided
to enforce the ordinance regulating
the hours of irrigation. The ordi-
nsn~e he's not been enforced for
nenriy two years, and in conse-
ounce the cost of fuel for oper-
atin9 the water plant has increased
from 81 500 to s., 400 per annum.
Lex Monday 10000 gallons OF
wutes were pumped. There are
60 hyarants, and this is m average
Of S&O gallons per day for each
hydrant, many of which are not
used for irrigating purposes- !he

BOWEN MUST BACK
CHARGES OR GO
Minister TO Be Ordered to Washington
to Explain the Loomis Matter
Which Has Been So Thor
oughly Aired.

Washington, D. c., April 29.Min-
lister Bowen will be forced to leave his
Venezuelan post and sooner or later, the
diplomatic service, according to state
ments in high official quarters.
1t is said now that the only thing
that will save him from retirement will
be substantiation Of the charges
against Assistant Secretary Loomis.
Secretary Taft has, it is said, resolved
to call him here to present his proofs,
if he has any. Ii the president assents
the order will be issued at once.
Mr. Loomis had nothing to add yes
terday TO the statement he prepared
Thursday night, specifically denying the
three principapl charges against him.
The fact that he gave out this state
ment after consulting Secretary Taft
Is taken to prove that he has the back
ing Of the administration; and that
10th the president aud Taft win sup
port Loomis rather than Bowen.
An early result of the controversy
will be general shifting around Of
ministers in South America. Bowen
will leave Venezuela, but it cannot yet
be learned whether he win be dropped
or shifted. Minister Dudley, in Peru,
or Minister Russell in Colombia, will
go TO Caracas. John Barrett will be
displaced at Panama by Judge Charles
+. Magoon, but will be given berth.
There is Il vacancy now in Chill, which
he may get, or he may replace Dudley
or Russell. If Bowen is to be dropped
at once new man win have to be
named for one Of the posts.
President Roosevelt's return, in spite
Of official denials, has undoubtedly been
FASTENED by the charges against Loomis
and the need of shifting Of ministers in
South America.

while transmitting reports of the pan
icky fears regarding the events Of Sun
day next, the Russian Easter, say they
do not believe it Is probable that any
thing serious will happen. They init
mate that so much of the alarm as il
not sheer panic was initiated and fos-
tered Tor a purpose.
Apart from st. Petersburg there are
threatened troubles in provincial towns,
including, according to the Telegraph
st. Petersburg correspondent, Jitomir,
Poland, where $1,000 Jews and $4,000
orthodox Russians dwell together.
The Mayor and Councillors assert that
the police are melting a mob to riot.
Many of the respectable residents are
receiving threatening letters. 1t is stat
ed that serious disorders have broken
out at Cheliabinsk, and that troops have
been sent there.
