FIRE IN MIDLAND.
Hoo Hoos Tried to Extinguish 1t With
Bottlde Beer.

Kansas City, Jan. 25.-Fire broke out
in the dining room on the fifth floor of
the Midland hotel shortly before II
o'clock last night, destroying the dec
orations with which the room had been
ornamented for the Smoker which
was given last night for the members
of the Southwestern Lumbermen's as
ISOLATION. The fire was put out in a
few minutes by hand extinguishers and
the building cleared of smoke shortly
after midnight.
The blaze from a fashlight made by
a photographer who was taking a
photograph of the association feasting
was the cause of the fire. The room
was in darkness when the photographer
lighted the fuse. The flash caught in
the drapings in the top of the room and
ran along the full length of the dining
room. Three hundred and fifty mem
bers of the Continental Order of Hoo
Hoos were seated around tables and
each had a bottle Of beer. Each bottle
of beer was Immediately converted into
a fire extinguisher and each member
swinging his bottle, sprinkled beer in
the flames which covered the ceiling.
Some threw beer on each other.
James ]. Corbett, on one of the lower
rooms, was Il of the first to smell the
smoke and send in the alarm. He rush
ed down stairs and Informed Sam
GdIlDDEil, the Clerk, That the UuAlQlilS
was on fire. The clerk investigated and
when he learned the nature of the blaze,
telephoned to fire headquarters for
hand extinguishers. The whole depart
ment responded. By the time the de-
partment arrived the woodwork about
the windows was blazing and smoke
was pouring from the windows.
The lumbermen, with their eyes filled
with smoke and their hands and faces
b~lackened. were still fighting the fire
with beer bottles when the fremen ar
rived with hand extinguishers-the
paint on the ceiling of the dining room
was liQuified and it dropped on the
hands and faces of the lumbermen.
Many We're slightly burned in this way.
A. J. Dear of the hotel,
cleared the ROOM The guests filed the
halls and corridors, each with a bottle
of beer and a sandwich in his hand,
laughing and talking about the incident
of the fire. No one seemed to be fright
ened. The sleeping guests were not
awakened but most of them who were
awake left their rooms on count of
the smoke. Shortly after midnight the
guests were back to the room where
the anque had beer interrupted n
resumed the lunch.
An estimate of the fire department
at midnight was that the loss to the
building would be $500 and loss to the
contents and fixtures $500.

geles division of the Santa Fe. In
railroad circles the custom has been to
promote one of the division superin-
tendents to the position of general su-
perintendent. Tha this CUSTOM, which
has practically become a law, will be
followed in this case there is said to
be little doubt. as General Manager A.
G.. Wells, who is a stickler in such
matters, has the appointment in
charge. Candidates under this Gus
tom for the position, which is a trying
one in every respect, are: F. w.
Walker of Fresno, superintendent of
the Los Angeles division; John Denair
of Needles, superintendent of the Ari-
iona division, and E. ]. Gibson of
Winslow, superintendent of the Albu-
querque division. Mr.. Denair is the
Oldest of this quartet of division SUI
perintendents both in point of service
and in age. Mr.. Hubbard is second in
point of service but is a considerably
younger man. 1t is reported that Mr..
Denair does not care particularly for
the promotions; that he would rather
remain division superintendent at
Needles. This tends to give color to
the report that Mr.. Hibbard will be
Mr.. Shepard's successor. Conjecture
as to this, however, will not be settled
until Genera Manager Wells returns
from Arizona.

j. J. am PLANS Invasion.

The San Francisco, Idaho and Montana
railroad, which has just been incorporat-
ed and which is capitalized at $50. 100000, is
believed to be a move of J. J. Hill to
reach the south Pacific territory. While
the road has been Incorporated, It is not
considered probable that work will be be-
gun in the immediate future, as it de-
sires valuable concessions which will re-
Quire considerable time to secure.
The c~onpany's officers are; President,
William Peyton Mason of Minneapolis;
vice president, c.. H. Fleming of Mime
apolis; secretary, G. T. Proper of Boise;
treasurer, w. e. Foran of Boise. The in
corporators are prominent financial men
of Minneapolis, closely associated with
J. J. Hill.
The road will be about 1000 miles long,
win reduce the distance between San
Francisco and Butte more than 300 miles,
and will open up a rich section of the
country. It will go southwest from Butte
through the Mormon settlements, and on
from Salt Lake to San Francisco. Later
a road is to be built from Sioux City and
Omaha, across northern Nebraska to Den
yer and Salt Lake, connecting with the
line beyond that city to the coast. This
is the promised western line that Sioux
City is assured if it will make certain
valuable concessions to Hill.

YOU CAN INTEREST HIM.
Any Man Over Fifty.

You can interest any man over fifty
years of age in anything that will make
him feel better, because while he may
not as yet have any positive organic
disease he no longer feels the buoyancy
and vigor of twenty-five nor the free
dom from aches and pains he enjoyed
in earlier years. and he very naturally
examines with interest any proposition
looking to the Improvement and preser-
walton of his health.
He will notice among other things
that the stomach of fifty is a very diff
ferent one from the tomach he pos
sessed at twenty-five. That greatest
care must be exercised as to what is
eaten and how much of it, and even
with the best Of care, there will be in
creasing digestive weakness with ad-
vancing years.
A proposition to perfect or improve
the digestion and assimilation of food
is one which interests not only every
man of fifty but every man, woman
and child Of any age. because the whole
secret of good health, good blood,
strong nerves. is to have a stomach
which will promptly and thoroughly
digest wholesome food because blood,
nerves, brain tissue and every other
constituent of the body are entirely
the product of digestion, and no medi-
cine OF health" food can possibly ere
ate pure blood or restore shaky nerves.
when a weak tomac is replenishing
the daily wear and tear of the body
from a mass Of fermenting half-digeSt-
ed food.
No, the stomach itself wants help and
in no roundabout way, either; it wants
direct, unmistakable assistance, such as
is given by one or two Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets after each meal.
These tablets cure tomac trouble
because their use gives the tomac a
nance to rest and recuperate; one of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contains di-
gestive elements sufficient to digest
5000 grains of ordinary food such as
bread, meat, eggs. etc.
The plan of dieting is simply another
name for starvation, and the use of
prepared foods and new tangled break
fast foods simply makes matters worse,
as any dyspeptic who has tried them
knows.
AS DR.. Bennett says. the only reason
I can imagine why Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are not universally used by
everybody who is troubled in any way
with poor digestion is because many
people seem to hin that because a
medicine is advertised or is sold in drug
stores or is protected by a trade it
must be a humbug. where as as a mat
ter of truth any druggist who is OBJ
servant knows that StUart's Dyspepsia
Tablets have cured more people of in
digestion. heart burn, heart trouble,
nervous prost-ation and rundown con-
dition generally than all the patent
medicines and doctors prescriptions for
stomach trouble combined.

Salt Shippers Beat Railroads.

For several months certain eastern
shippers of salt have been working a
scheme whereby they practically secured
a reduction of 20 per cent from the freight
rates of the eastern and western roads.
Several years ago all the railroads adopt
ed certain rates per barrel" on sale. At
that time, and until recently, all barrels
weighed 800 pounds.
OF late the railroads have noted a mark
ed increase in the size of salt barrels
shipped by certain eastern concerns. Their
average weight has been $50 pounds, or 20
per cent more than the weight of the
standard barrel in use for many years.
It is stimated that through the use of
the larger barrels the railroads have lost
many thousands in the past few months.
