TWO THOUSAND DOLLAR FIRE
Warehouse Of J. w. Cookery Com
pletely Destroyed.

Fire last night destroyed a barn used
as a warehouse by J. w. Cookery, the
undertaken. The building was located
in the rear of the Cookery residence
on First street, and the fire was dis
covered about II o'clock. The firemen
from house No. / made a prompt re-
Spouse to the alarm, but owing to the
fact that the water mains on First
street were being replaced with new
ones, it was necessary to locate the
steamer at the corner of Second and
Birch. Just as the engine was started
up a hose coupling was blown off
which occasioned a short delay. The
building and it's contents, consisting
of caskets and other undertaking ma
terial, were completely destroyed. Mr..
Cookery places his loss at $4,000, with
$1,000 insurance carried on the stock.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but
it is supposed to have been incendiary.

OLD MARROW GAUGE THROUGH
GREEN'S ANNEX TO BE
TAKEN UP.
-Rumors Of Extensive Railway
Building Are Renewed.

With work well under way for stand
running from Walla Walla to Dudley,
which recently passed into the hands
of the w. & c. R. in exchange for
Northern Pacific trackage from Day
ton to Turner station, rumors are be-
ing revived that the Hill interests are
making the first step toward extending
line into the Wallowa country
through the Blue mountains, tapping
rich section of country now the ex-
elusive territory of the o. r. & N.
The work of standardizing a mile
and a quarter of the narrow guage has
just been finished. The completed sec
ton extends from the w. & c. r. main
tracks just east of the city to point
addition The work of construction
has been under the supervision of w.
G. Sayles.
| AS soon as rails and material can
| be shipped in the work Of replacing
| the remainder Of hte narrow guage
track with standard rails will be taken
up. 1t is the intention of the Northern
Pacific to have the road finished in
time to handle this seasons wheat crop.
Whether it is the intention of the
company to extend the line further
into the wheat belt of that section this
year is a matter that is being kept
rather secret, but rumor has it that
branch lines will eventually be laid
rich wheat section and also up Blue
creek in order to handle the wheat
business of that region. II these
branch lines are built it will be neces-
sary to extend the main line from Dud-
ley UP Mill creek in order to obtain an
easy grade to reach the high plateaus,
now only reached by Indifferent wagon
roads A considerable portion of the
wheat raised in the Russell creek
| country goes to the y. H. q N. road
and it is to secure a share of this
! business that the Northern Pacific
| contemplates extending it's lines.
| The building of a road up Blue
creek it is believed is merely the fore
runner of the line that will eventually
have it's terminal at some point in the
| Wallowa country. Surveys through
| the mountains were made several years
ago before the Hill and Hartman in
terests reached an agreement regard
| ing the territory each road was to re-
main in control of. These agreements
have now been abrogated and it is said
| that the Northern Pacific is free to
proceed with the building OF ROADS
under contemplation several years ago.

RULED BY COOK, NOT MOTHER.
Mrs. Jones Of Kalamazoo Says tn
Kitchen Is the Foundation.

CHICAGO, March 16.-'"The hand
that yields the cooking spoon is the
hand that rules the world-far more
effectively than the hand that rocks
the cradle" said Mrs. Nellie Kedzie
Jones Of Kalamazoo, Mich, for the
hand of the cook holds the key to the
health Of the future homemakers and
lawmakers of our land, who are to
compose the bone and sinew of the ma
ton. Our great leaders in statesman
ship, morals and industry owe far
more of their success to proper nour-
ishment during their youth than they
do to their college studies or to their
fathers mature advice.
"a modern knowledge of bread
making on the part of their cooks
might nave made optimists out of such
great minds as Carlyle and Voltaire. A
sound mind is impossible in an I'M
sound body. A practical knowledge of
applied chemistry in the kitchen will
ultimately prove far more enlightening
to the nation than all the theoretical
and polite sciences composing the cur
ricula of our universities
Mrs. Jones was lecturing on DO
nestle Science in the House." before
the Archer club.
The lecturer urged the teaching Of
good conversation to girls as being as
eficacious in securing good husbands
in many instances as a boosted knowl-
contentment into the nome, but pleas
ant conversation will bring happiness"
she declared.

and spread the rest all over the car.
At Spokane a guard named Smith
was taken on to assist Mr.. Stringer,
but Smith wanted to quit his job be-
fore the train got to Idaho. At st. Paul
it required outside assistance to get
Watts out Of the car, SO fercely did
he resist, but when he was once on the
ground he fell as limp as rag and had
to be carried to the next train. This
trouble kept up all the way to Wash

Better health because the use of the
Acetylene light does not vitiate the
atmosphere Of apartments like oil,
gas or gasoline. The consumption of
oxygen is much smaller and the pro-
ducts of combustion are vastly less
and nothing like so poisonous. House
plants will flourish where Acetylene is
used, but they will droop and die in
the presence of other gas consump
quently the atmospheric conditions
are less debilitating. Better inform

AT IT AGAIN.
Man Jailed for Breaking Windows. Broke More
 When Released.

New York, Feb 16.-Within twenty four hours after his release from prison, where he had served sen tcnce for smashing more than $2.OOO worth of plate glass windows, John Grogan early to-day returned to the scene of his escapade and started in to duplicate the feat of two months ago. He was not so successful this time, however, having broken only three or tLe large show windows when he was oHerrowered and again taken to a cell.
 Two months ago to-day Grogan ap pea"ed at the corner of Twenty-third street and Fourth avenue altogether nude and armed with short iron crow bar. Running rapidly down the street ht' swung the crowbar through every window for nearly block before q policeman attacked him. Grogan then perched himself upon heap of snow 1r the street and by freely swinging his crowbar defied arrest until after more than dozen policemen had reached the scene. When he reached the place today he was stripped to the waist, although the thermometer was near the zero mark, and had as a weapon of destruction half a brick in 8 stocking. He was traversing the same route which he took two months ago, swinging the brick through ono window after another when police, man crept up behind him and felled him with a night stick.

ATTORNEY PATRICK HAS
 GAINED SLIGHT POINT.
Committee from the hedico Legal Society Has Answered the Prisoners Questions Committee Claims Valet Jones Was Wrong About Administering Chloro. form-Embalming Fluid Would Act Similarly

New York, Feb 16.--A local commit. tee selected by the Medico-Legal soci- ety to investigate the cause of death of William Marsh Rice, the aged mil- lionaire, who died In 1900, and for whose murder Attorney Albert T. Pat rick has been awaiting execution tbir- ty-tive months. has made its report.
 The committee furnished replies to Il list of hypothetical questions and as serts, in substance. that Valet Charles Jones made q misstatement when ho testified to having administered chloro' form to Rice. The assertion is made that such an amount of the cholOform as was said to have been used would have left an odor which could have been detected for hours afterward.
 In reply to the question as to wheth- CT embalming fluid would produce con gcstion of the lungs resembling that caused by ch,oroform. the committee claims it could not, but that a condi. ton so nearly like true congestion i1ight follow that it could only be dis t;NGuished by meteorological examina- tion,
 Eatrick's appeal probably will come up ln court at the March term.

P POUNDS OF CASH.
Weird Dress of Sailors Apple Mary
 ls Her Savings Bank, Too.

There were 1900 pennies and S25 ill nickels. She has also has bank book showing a S2O0 deposit
 This is the only genuine Apple Mary. the police declare Her real name is Mary Ward. and she was born in Ire land about 70 years ago. She came here when 9. Some years later she lost her invalid husband through acci- dentally giving him poison instead Of medicine. A few years later her if. year-old son was drowned while swim ming off Market street pier. and his body was never recovered.
 The woman became entirely unbal anced after this. The lad left his school books on the pier. and police. men who were boys then tell how she would read them there by the hour and then look over the water as if seeking her boys body. For years she carried his books to school every morning.
 Then her means gave out and she took to selling apples along the docks. No one ever bought them, but many gave her money. She went aboard the ships from Corlears Hook to the Bat tery, and there are few sailors and lcngshoremen on the docks who have not given her a nickel Money became her mania. Although arrested and sen- fenced to terms of thirty days to six months for vagrancy perhaps twenty times, she always became the sailors Apple Mary again on being released She lives at q Washington street.
 The matron at the Oak street station said to her, You love money, don't you, Mary?'
