THIS MORNING.
Upper Floors Scorched> and Dripping
Wet-Guests Forced to Seek
Outside Accommodations.

Damage caused by yesterdays fire
at the Hotel Dacres will probably foot
up $1,000 If not more. Manager Catron

condition Of the hotel last evening

furnishings alone will total $4,000 Will.
the damage to the building will amount
to $4,000. Forty-five rooms were rem
dered uninhabitable through water
and smoke. The dining room and
kitchen were put out of commission by
water flooding the rooms and guests at
the hotel were compelled to seek res
taurants last night and today. Car
pets and much of the furniture were
rendered useless by water and will be
total loss to the hotel.
1T will probably be a day or so be-
fore we can open the dining room,"
Manager Catron said this morning.
Insurance adjusters will be on the
ground this evening or tomorrow and
the work of adjusting the losses will
be finished as quickly as possible as
it is imperative that the hotel resume
business Immediately. Guests will be
compelled to seek restaurants for the
next day or so, but by Monday evening
expect to have the dining room
opened
Cleaning Up Commenced.
Twenty minutes after Chief Metz
announced that the fire was out yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Catron had a big
force of men at work cleaning up the
debris. Water on the second and third
floors stood several inches deep in
places while huge piles of plaster from
the water-soaked ceilings dotted the
rooms and Railways. The ceilings and
walls were still dripping wet this
morning and it will be several days
before the building will be dry enough
for carpenters and bricklayers to COM
mence repairing the damage. Most of
the damage was confined to the south
eastern part of the building. Several
rooms We're badly Quilted and others
scorched while a part of the roof will
have to be replaced.

Accidents at Yesterdays Fire.

Captain William Forster Of engine
company No. 2 had a narrow escape
from a serious accident yesterday af-
ternoon at the Dacres Hotel fire. He
was cutting holes in the roof of the
building when a portion of it gave
away and Captain Forster fell through
a skylignt. He managed to grasp one
of the supports and pulled himself up.
Had he fallen all the way through he
would probably have been badly in
jured. The only injury that he sus-
tanned was a deep cut in his right leg.
While assisting the firemen John
Scnwager, an engineer on the w. & G.
R., severaly sprained the muscles in
his back and ne was taken to a hos
pital for treatment last night.

THEY KNOW HOW.
Topeka's Conclusion About the
Baseball Team.
An Excellent Game Sunday
Despite the Cold.
ONLY A SMALL CROWD.
Chambers Hitting One Of the
Features.
Alderman Shows Form IS a
Pitcher.
SMALL CROWD.
Alderman

The 200 fans who went to Association
park on Sunday afternoon and braved
through the biting cold wind which sift-
ed through the grandstand and bleach
ers from the north, were rewarded by
seeing a rafting good game of baseball
so far as baseball goes at this time
OF the year. The Yannigans. reinforced
by several of the best men of the first
team, were beaten blythe Regulars by
a score of to. ?.
1t was even break on hits-both sides
getting five. The scrubs made four err
rors, while those who are going to stick
made three. There was no dumb play
ing at any stage of the game, and tax
ing it altogether, and considering the
fact that most of the players were fro
zen stiff as mummies, the 1racas was
good.
Long Tom Hughes led off the pitch
ing for the Regulars. Four innings he
whitewashed the Colts without a hit.
Stewart got q. little bingle in the fifth
round but it proved harmless Lynch
then took up the duties of the squared
circle, and was found for four hits, out
Of which two runs We're hashed up.
Some bad base throwing materially as
sisted in making these scores.
Letheby went on the rubber for the
Yannigans, and in the four innings
which he presided was touched up for
five hits. These bingles aided and abet-
ted by errors brought in four runs.
Curly Alderman then got on the slab
and during the four remaining innings
BANKED the regulars without a hit. He
showed the best form yesterday which
he has yet produced this season. He
steadied down, put ballast on his BEN
derinos and gave but one base on balls.
Chambers hitting was one of the fea-
lures of the game, and Howie's work
on second base was the other. Chandler
got three safe drives out of four times
up, one a two-bagger. HOWE played
the second sack as though he had been
born and reared there, having three
put-outs, five assists and no errors to
his credit.
From now on the fans who go to the
park will see only the squad which win
represent Topeka this summer. Chand-
Ter, Kean, Frank Lynch and Charles
Lynch will be let go. An attempt will
be made to place Kean and Chandler IN
some other Association town. Chandler
is a good man, and it is possible that
before the summer is over he will be
able to make several nfielders in
Shiveley's circuit hunt for another job.
Ellsworth, Hutchings and Elmore, To-
cal celebrities, helped to make double
lineup from one squad. Carter did not
play. He never plays in Sunday games.

LeaVenWOrth, ApTiI I7.-Ihe LeaVen-
worth grand jury, which has been in
session four days, was dismissed Satur-
day afternoon after reporting that it
had no indictments to return. Thirty
witnesses in all were examined and
many of the county records were called
for during the sitting of the jury. The
Taxpayers League, which was instru-
mental in having the jury called, after
seeing the list of jurors drawn, decided
not to press any charges against county
officials, feeling sure that the jury
would never bring in an Indictment. In
their report to the judge the jury do
not exonerate any of the county Off
Gals who have been censured by the
league, but cOmmends sheir apparent
determination to do right hereafter.
