ONE OF THE BEST
AND MOST MODERN
SUCH is THE OPINION OF PEo.
PIE REGARDING THE IMPERIAL
LAUNDRY.

One field of industry not to be over
looked in Albuquerque is that filled
by the laundries, which not only cover
the local field, but Vs work for many
outside towns that have no laundries
Standing out In prominence In the
laundry industry Is the Imperial
Laundry company, under the direct
management OF the igar brothers,
two thoroughly experienced laundry
men. who have made tbis particular
field their speciality for many years.
Their industry, located at 213 West
Silver avenue, directly in the rear oI
the postoffice, Is thoroughly equipped
with the very latest in laundry ma
chinery for the correct execution of
domestic and gloss finish work. Over
thirty workmen are employed in the
laundry to operate the eight wash
ers. the several ironing machines,
three wagons, and o.her things incl
dental to the businesr. The company
has just let plans for the erection Of
new two-story laundry building on
the lot adjoining their present loca
tion. Their present building will have
a second story added also, their force
of wOrkmen will be increased to forty,
two extra wagons will be put on and
new and up to date machinery in
stalled in both buildings. thereby in
suring the people of Albuquerque one
of the finest laundry establishments
to be found in the southwest, barring
none. The Edgar brothers expect to
have their new building completed
and ready for occupancy by March
/, 1906.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.

Judging from the latest adyices
from Phoenix, Albuquerque horses
are taking everything good in sight
at the Arizona territorial fair. which
Is now i'm progress. Yesterday The
Citizen announced that Joe Barnett's
Stranger O had captured the biggest
pure Of the meet by winning the
POS pace in 2:09h. Today The Citi-
zen tells OF the record breaking stunt
OF Hallina Morgan, Mr.. Barnett's g.,
yearOld While pitted against the
already famous New York horse. Bill.
lings, Hallina took the last three heats
of the 3-year-old pace, beating the
favOrite from a half to two lengths
after the New York horse had cap
rured the first two heats. 1t was a
real show of quality in the Albuquer-
Que horse. After losing two heats II
became evident 10 Frost, the driver
that he must use the whip. In the
third heat he drove the New York an
nal Off its feet, and the rest was
easy.
II is understood that Mr. Barnett
backed the little mare heavily for the
race and took down a considerable
sum of money on the result.

AMERICAN WHEAT NEEDED
BY SOUTHERN NEIGHBOR.

City of Mexico, Dec. 30.-Owing TO
the scarcity OF wheat caused by the
partial failure Of the wheat crop, the
government has removed the duty on
American and Canadian wheat be-
ginning with January /. When 1t was
realized in the beginning of fall that
the crop was short, the duties we're
lowered by the government, but the
entire removal became imperative,
when the reports of the actual crop
showed that it was even smaller than
had been expected. The city bakers
have reduced the size of their loaves
Of bread, asserting that it is impossi-
bic for them to give the same weight
as formerly. There is a small sup
ply still In the hands of the farmers
but not sufficient to bring down the
price. The price of corn is also very
high and this causes great hardship
among the poor.

CHICAGO OBSERVES
CITY'S SADDEST DAY
Public COmmemOratiOn of lrOquOis Theater Fire,
When Nearly 600 Lives We're Lost. Chiefly
Women and Children.

Chicago. Dec. 30--TWo years ago
today the Iroquols theater was de-
stroyed by fire and nearly 900 lives,
mostly women and children, were lost
in the holocaust. The day is OBJ

Protestant churches will hold special
services this evening The graves OF
hundreds of victims Of the disaster in
the various cemeteries were decorat-
ed with wreaths and other floral Of
terings The graves Of the unidentl-
fed victims were also decorated.
The fire at the lrOquois theater was
the most appalling disaster that ever
visited this city and will long be re-
membered by hundreds of families
who lost one or more OF their mem
bers in the catastrophe. The fire or
iginated on the stage of the theater
during the matinee performance of
December 80, 1903, at a time when
every part OF the house was crowded
with the usual holiday crowds OF wom-
en- and children. The theater was
practically new, having been opened
only a few weeks previous to the fire.
The attraction was "Bluebeard, which
had been running there since the

LADIES ENTERTAINED
BY GENTLEMEN
A DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION TO
LADIES OF HIGHLAND METHO-
DIST CHURCH.

One of the most unique social affairs
of this holiday week was a reception
given by the gentlemen of the High
land Methodist church, to the ladies.
They had a most delightful program.
Rev. w D. Clayton opened with
feeling and appropriate prayer. Rev.
Sollie rendered a school Boys
Speech of Other Days" which was
surely appreciated. The next was to
have been a recitation, but the gem
tleman got afraid of the snow and
failed to appear. J. d. Emmons' How
Terry Saved the Bacon" was so good
that those present insisted on an en-
core and it was equally good Mr..
BiXler's solo, "BObbing Around" was
TOO good not to have more from him,
but when he asked us to join in the
chorus of his second solo, we all real
lied that it was only to be attained
by beginning in infancy, DR. Wilson's
reading, "Ruby's Play" was listened
10 with both laughter and sadness. A
song by the men was good; but
sounded strange without any of our
voices to help them along. r, S.
Owens gave us a poem that took us
all back TO early days. and was so

Warlick's reading was amusing and

Iul manner. but the last verse was
nearly spoiled for most of us, as the

10 prepare our refreshments and the
stove was refusing to act right, and it
was between us and the door. The
next was to have been a violin solo,
but this gentleman was, also, afraid
of the snow. Mr. Davis How

highly appreciated and his encore

the curtain, which could not be low
cred for some time. When il was
finally released the fire had made
such progress on the stage that the
employees became panic-stricken and
opened the large double door in the
rear Of the stage, and leading 10 the
court behind the theater. through
which the scenery was brought into
and out of the theater.
The terrific draft caused the "hre-
proof curtain, thin and himsy af-
fair, TO bulge out into the house, and
In few minutes II tore and fell and
immense volumes OF smoke and flame
poured into the auditorium. Al that
time most OF the seats In the house
had been emptied by the panic
stricken spectators, and they were
crowding through the few doors as
fast as they could When the smoke
and tiames poured into the audltOri-
um, sweeping the whole interior, hun
dreds OF people were overcome They
fell In heaps right at the exits and
were sufOcated by the smoke and
heat. Those on top of the pile were
scorched beyond recognition. The sit
uation was greatly aggravated by the
fact that the ushers, thinking only Of
their own safety, had fed for their
lives, without stopping long enough to
unlock and unbolt the safety exits
provided for on every floor.
The case was investigated by the
coroner and the blame fixed upon the
owners and builders Of the house, the
building department and some OF the
employees of the theater. Since then
hundreds OF suits for damages grow
ing out OF the loss OF life and Injuries
received during the FIRE have been
filed against the proprietors OF the III
fatesi IrOquois theater. The amount
'Of damages asked for now aggregates
several million dollars.

EMERY WAS UNABLE TO
LOCATE A B0NDSMAN

A.. c. Emory, who was arrested for
the alleged crime of larceny from the
person of Ferdinand Bowen, particu-
lars of which appeared in The Even
ing Citizen yesterday, was very prompt
when arraigned before Police Judge
Crawford, to waive examination. The
case was sent to the grand jury by
tne police justice and bail fixed at
$500.
Emory, it is said. regretted his hasty
decision afterwards. because 1t Is not
the easiest thing always to find a
bondsman willing 10 risk half thou
sand on person whose police rec
ord is unsavory. Emory discovered
this fact after he had interviewed
several acquaintances, with no sue
cess. He gave up the task finally,
and accompanied an officer to jail,
where he will in all probability Ian
guish until the grand jury sits in
March.
