minutes was taken up in arousing the
drowsy watchmen and guiding them 10
fire escapes. When the fremen arrived
they made quick work OF the blaze and

THE UNBURNABLE BUILDING.
Fire Insurance Testing Laboratories
 Models Of Fireproof Design.

The city of Chicago has the latest thing in unburnable buildings model of fireproof construction for the whole country. This is the new testing laboratory supported by the big fire insurance companies. Here every material and device connected with the problem of fire prevention will be tried out and rated. The work of the lab oratories covers everything from bricks to hose nozzles.
 The laboratory building itself, from cellar to roof, contains nothing that will burn, affording monumental evil dence of the fact that it is not neces- sary that combustible materials should enter into the structural parts or equipment of a modern business build ing.
 The walls are of vitrified brick; cast iron columns protected by hollow tile support the steel girders for the floors and roof. The floors, roof and parti- tions are of semi-porous hollow terra cOtta with thick walls. All the open ings are framed in rolled steel. There is no clustering in any part of the building.

Covered With Scales and Scabs From Head to Foot-Doctors and All Other Remedies Fail Skin Now Smooth and Clear.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL , CURE BY CUTICURA

Writing under date of Sept. 7, 1904, Mrs. Matte Shafer, of Cumberland, Miss, says: "Some time ago I or dered and received your wonderful Cuticura Remedies, which I used on my little afflicted babe with wonder ful results. I had tried many other remedies without any benefit what ever, and Cuticura came to the rescue when my doctors and all other rem- ediSs had failed. One doctor pro- nounced it scrofula, the other eczema. The little one was one solid sore, with scales and scabs from head to foot, when I started using Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The result was won- derful, and now my baby's face and body are smooth and clear"

Vim. Riddly who was picked up off the street, where he was found Sunday noon drunk and otherwise obnoxious to the public, was given a nearing in Justice NeilsOn's court yesterday morning. It transpired that he was a miner of generally good reputation, with one failing-dTink. He was on his way from the southern part of the ter ritory to Saddle mountain. He had a ticket in his pocket on the Santa Fe as far as Florence in that direction, and arrived here on the train from the south Sunday morning. He mad in tended taking the noon train east, but while waiting for it he sought to while away the time, and by noon was in no condition to travel. His intentions were so good that the justice released him upon the promise that he would take the next train for Florence. John Doe was given fifteen days for selling bogus jewelry around town. The of fense in itself was not serious but it was thought best to make an example of him in the hope that it would be a warning to others who might be tempted to follow in his steps.

THE DUTYOF MOTHERS
At the First Sign of Disfiguring HumOrS Is to Use Cuticura.

Every child born into the world with an inherited tendency to tortur- ing, disfguring humors of the Skin and Scalp, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only be- cause of its suffering, but because of the dreadful fear that the disfguration is to be lifelong and mar it's future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint them selves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, viz: the Cuticura Treatment, consist ing of warm baths with Cuticura Soap, and gentle anointings with Cuticura Ointment, the great Skin Cure. Cures made in childhood are speedy, per manent, and economical.

For short time, at least, Liveryman Finch will be out O the use of one rig. Sunday one of his top buggies was let to couple of young men, who, during the day, imbibed a little too freely of the cup that cheers. The result was that they overestimated the capacity of the rig, and, with four in it, turn ed corner at a lively rate. The weight was too much for the body of the buggy and it was crushed down entirely demolishing it. The damage will amount to about S25

PRIMARY ENTERTAINMENT.

The entertainment given by the pri- mary association Saturday night was a very pleasing success. There was a large crowd to appreciate the come detta which was presented and the children were loudly applauded. The comedetta was entitled Where Was Elsie?" or the Saratoga Fairies" and was staged by F. T. Pomeroy. The children were all dressed as fairies and brownies. The principal parts were taken by Glen Stapley and Ethel Sir rine, who were the foster parents of Elsie, who was carried away by the fairies and welded to the prince of that realm.
 9 Ivan Pomeroy was the king of the fairies and Alberta Pederson was the queen, while Frank POmeroy was the prince, and Ivy Macdonald was MT. Jack OLantern, the guide. Loran Guthrie acted as the kings magician. There were several other minor parts, all of which were well performed, and the curtain went down in a storm of applause There were several tab leaux which added beauty to the scenes. At the close of the play while all of the fairies were putting on their shoesshoes and were sitting around the stage and their mothers and the work CTS were on the stage, the lights were suddenly turned out and the curtain rung up and tableau lights were turned on, and a tabIeau was shown to the audience, that they nor the actors were expecting. The chairs were then re- moved and the people engaged in dane ing until II o'clock. The fair was very successful throughout both as a social as we'll as a financial one.
 Orson Phelps, c. R. flakes, Jr., and Geo. w. Lewis were the speakers at the tabernacle Sunday.

Comfortable shoes

There's nothing more dstracting than an uncomfortable shoe; and nothing more un- necessary.
 The price of the shoe doesn't determine this question: It's more often the make. If you find the name Selz on the sole of a shoe, no matter what the price, you will know that the shoe is as good can be made for the price asked.
 Good material, we'll put together and made to fit feet and to be comfortable; that describes Selz Royal Blue and Perfecto shoes. We sell them. Ask for Selz Royal Blue or Perfecto the first time; you'll demand them the second time. The name IS always on the sole; an unfailing sign of shoe quality. Sold by the NEW YORK STORE

Mexican Guayule Rubber.
