Too Soon.

Bill Mack, alias jim Mack, alias
Lucius Reese, a. Mayesville coon, was
an early arrival yesterday and

cius was trying to trade, and con-
cluded that it was too soon for the live
stock market to open. Lucius got
tangled in trying to tell plausible

led to the guard house and the cow
was turned into Mr.. Boyle's lot to
await the coming Of her owner.
Further investigation disclosed the
fact, that Lucius had stolen the cow
from his mother and was trying to
raise enough money to get out Of the

WRECK IN MONTANA

MissouIa, Mont, Feb. 23.-The east
bound Twin City express on the North
ern Pacific railroad crashed into the
rear of an eastbound freight train at
Plains Tuesday morning and several
persons were injured, two seriously.
The freight had pulled onto a side
track to allow the passenger to go by.
The caboose and the last car of the
freight were. left part of the way en-
the main line. Although the passen-
ger was running slowly the engine
carshed into the caboose with sufficient
force to knock it into kingling wood.
Two women from Missoula, Mrs. Mid
get Gilbert and May Wright, were in
the: caboose with Conductor Snyder and
Brakeman Murray when the crash
came. The Gilbert woman was picked
up from the pilot of the engine in a
serious condition, her spine being bad
ly injured and her body otherwise con-
fused. The Wright woman was cut
about the head and body and, it is
feared, sustained internal injuries.
Conductor Snyder had his right leg
broken in two places and received
other injuries which, it is Feared, will
prove fatal Brakeman Murray was
injured about the head andl body and
complains of severe internal pains.
Three children in the first coach of
the express train were thrown from
their seats and bruised. They proceed
ed east while the four others were
brought here and are in the hospital.
Blame is attached to the freight crew
for not clearing the main line.

WHOLESALE DISTRICT SUFFERS A
Sl,5OO,OOO LOSS.
Eight Buildings, Including Three Ho-
tells, Prey of the Flames-Firebrands
Fall in a Perfect Storm All Over the
City Serious Explosions - Small
Blaze Later.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 29.-For
four hours Sunday night the wholesale
district bounded by Georgia and Merid-
ian streets, Jackson place and the
Union depot sheds, were menaced by
a fire which started in the wholesale
warerooms of the Fahnley & McCrea
Millinery company. At $50 o'clock
three general alarms brought into ac-
ton every department in the city and
suburbs. When the fire was brought
under control eight buildings, among
which were three hotels. had been COM
pletely destroyed, causing a loss esti-
mated at S1,500,000. One fireman was
hurt by falling walls.
Fire brands fell in perfect storm
over the business portion of the city
and on every building were stationed
companies of men with fire fighting
apparatus and a general conf1agration
was prevented.
Explosions Add to Terror.
In the A. Kiefer Drug company's
warerooms, where many barrels of oil
and other explosives were stored, and
in the Delmetsch company's wholesale
warehouse a seasons stock of fire.
works were located several serious
explosions occurred. Hundreds of
spectators narrowly escaped death or
serious injury.
Got Disastrous Start.
The fire, which was one of the most
spectacular in the history of the city,
was under full Roadway before an
alarm was sounded
The occupants of the hotel, many
of whom had not retired, escaped with
out injury.
Embers Fall in All Sections.
Repeated explosions in the burning
section sent skyward veritable storm
of burning embers which, famed by a
stiff breeze from the southwest, were
carried into the retail district where
they fell, still burning, upon the roofs
of the principal business houses.
Within four hours eight buildings in
the threatened district had been to-
tally destroyed.
A spark from the fire in the whole
sale district, several blocks away, set
fire to the roof of the Grand hotel. An
alarm again summoned all fire depart
ments. All the guests were aroused
and because of the water were COM
PEELED to seek other lodgings. Loss,
$500.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Japs Threaten Russian Line of Com
nunication,

Last week was one of activity at
no developments that resulted in i'm
portant gains for either contestant
There was almost uninterrupted bonn
bardment throughout the week by both
sides on both TANKS and at the center.
There was hard fighting between a
cold weather prevented anything like
a general engagement. 1t is still diff
ficult to maneuver with large bodies
of men, and the hospitals on both sides
are said to be filled with frostbitten
soldiers.
Early in the week the Russians
drove the Japanese from Nangazi on
the latter's left, and Slav cavalry in
considerable numbers made a daring
raid on the west of the Lao river to
a point as far south as Liaoyang. Dur
ing the week the japanese began a
severe bombardment of the famous
Lone Tree hill, and as siege guns had
been brought up from Port Arthur for
this purpose the fire was destructive
The Japanese are doing their best to
circulate the news of Russian disor-
ders at home throughout Kuropatkin' S
army and have met with considerable
success in this work.
Although the greatest Russian &C
tivity has heretofore been against
Oyama's left, during the week more
aggreSSiyeneSS has been shown on the
Russian left to which General Kuroki
is opposed.
There is apprehension over the ac-
tons of Japanese cavalry and Chinese
bandits who have begun to operate
from Mongolia and are attempting to
get behind the Russian position and
cut communications. During the week
a portion of the third Baltic squadron
sailed for the far east.

Miners ENTOMbED

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-By an
explosion in the Virginia mine, about
s miles southwest of Birmingham, at
4 O'Clock Monday afternoon, between
ITO and 1876 union miners are entomb-
ed land it is believed the entire number
suffered awful death. Scores of vigor-
GUS rescuers are at work digging into
the mine to relieve thier friends and
comrades in the inside.
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
dust, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free from
Dust. 1t is also believed that as the
entire quota has probably been killed
the details of the cause off the disaster
will never be known.
The camp is isolated from the rest of
the world, as there is no telephone sta
ton at Virginia. Details of the disas-
ter were slow to come in.
The class of miners employed was
the best in the district, and all belong
ed to the United Mineworkers of
America. Since the strike has been on
in the Birmingham district, many of
the most industrious and thrifty miners
of Pratt City and other important min
ing points have removed to the Virgin
ia mines, so that the mines were being
worked to their full capacity by the
most skilled miners in the community.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from both
Birmingham and Bessemer as soon as
the news was learned. It is thought
it will be noon on Wednesday before
the interior of the stope is reached.
The Slopes are we'll arranged, and
th.re has never been the least trouble
in the mines before. They are owned
by the Alabama Steel & Wire COM
pany, but are leased and operated by
Reid & Co.
President Edward Flynn of the Ala
bama United Mineworkers and Nation
al Committeeman Farley, together
with J. R. Allier, district organizer,
have left for the scene.
President Flynne, said before leaving
that there were 1856 men employed in
the mine regularly, but as Monday was
payday he could not say whether the
full quota was in the mine at the time
OF the disaster or not.

TERMS OF PEACE

London, Feb. 23.-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from St.
Petersburg, confirming the Associated
Press advices of February II and 10,
from st. Petersburg to the effect that
peace was unedr consideration, adds:
1.-THE conditions under which Russia
is prepared to makepeace have practi-
cally been agreed upon. These are as
follows:
Korea to be plcaed under japanese
suzerainty.
Port Arthur and the Liaotung PEN
insual to be seeded to Japan.
"Vladivostok to be declared a neu-
trail port, with an open door.
1.-THE eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international adj
ministration.
"Manchuria as far north IS Hardin
to be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
1.-THE difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity, upon which it
is known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that the difference is not insu-
perable.
'"The most trustworthy opinion at
st. Petersburg is that, in view of the
internal situation and the enormor 8
difficulty mic AIRY on war, peace on tt e
terms above will be concluded within a
comparatively shcrt time if the indem-
nifty question can be arranged, but it is
quite possible that Russia will risk an
other battle before decision is reach.
