. STORE IS BURNED
FIRE ON HOUSTON STREET THIS
 MORNING.
PIace of Business of Carr aud DOSIcr Destroyed--EntaiIing Loss Estt-
 mated at &3,0OO.

Fire at the corner of Houston and Hall streets destroyed the store of | Corr and Dozier, dealers in general 1 merchandise, at an carly hour this morning, completely ruining their stock and placing in jeopardy the lives of 1T. V. Corr and his family, who oc- cupied a two-roomed cottage connect cd with the store building. While the total, loss could not be definitely stated this morning, 1t was estimated that it will reach $3.000 on the building and it's contents, part of which was insured
 The family of Mir, Corr. one of the partners in the firm. narrowly escaped death in the flames, being awakened by neighbors after the Are had ob- tained full headway, and leaving the building with the roof blazing over their heads. A few minutes after their escape the roof timbers gave way and fell in.
 The store was one story frame structure, with a two-room cottage att tached. in which MT. Corr and his fam fly lived. The blaze had it's start in the store proper. later spreading to the cottage annex. Owing to the lateness of the hour considerable delay was ex- perienced in sending in an alarm, and before the department could make the long run to the scene of the confla- grafton. the place was practically de- stroyed.
 The building was the property of Dr. B. s. Chapman, and was valued at about $500. on which insurance was carried
 The stock, it was understood, was new, and was valued at over $2,000. whether insurance was carried on the stock could not be learned.
 The fire of this morning, Is the third within two weeks which has occurred near or later than midnight, and in each case lives have been endangered.

 hurried away by the most quiet street
 toward his factory His coming was a ! great surprise to the clerks in the
 ment in greeting them all, he went to l his private room.
 His secretary welcomed him in as- tonishment. They had not expected him home for months yet. No, MT. 1 William was not in. He had been call
 ed suddenly to inspect new source | of water supply down in the marsh | mile away. The trip had promised to be muddy one and he | had exchanged his business suit for a suot of jumpers kept for shop emer- geneies and had left some three hours l ago. He was expected back now at any moment. MT. James Beggs went into the rear office to brush up a bit. Sure enough there lay dear old Bllly's duds, sprawled indiserimi1etely over every thing. The garments seemed sudden

 idea shone out of the blue orbs of MT. James Beggs. He hesitated at first. but the lines of determination settled finally about his mouth.

He was not long getting into his brothers clothes, and opening the side door, he hurried out into the hall and took the least frequent street that led to he old Beggs home where William had in- stalled his bride
 They're all alike-these women.' he thought as he hurried along. All a man needs to do Is to throw a good big scare into em once and settle it for good If a fellow does that right in the beginning, they'll come down of their perch and never want to climb up again. But Billy isn't the boy to take a stand like that He'd tn very first thing. and that what he has done. evidently"
 He tried to conjure up the recep- ton Mrs. William Beggs was likely to give him. He was sure she would say sarcastic about his early return from the factory. Women who bullied their husbands never lacked for sarcastis things to say. Well, he was itching for just such a start, If she survived what he had in store for her, he didn't doubt that she would be d different woman henceforward. And after 1t was all over he would stalk out the door in righteous victory and hustle down and tell the admiring and

QUEEN BEES AT WILL.
Man Takes the Matter Into His Oun
 Hznda.

Man Takes the Matter Into His Own Hands. Modern bee keepers do not leave the rearing of queens to their bee colonies, selves bees rear queens only when they want to sfarm, when their queen is ac- cidentaliy killed or when, on account of her age for some other reasons, she does not lay enough eggs, That Is natures way Man has dis severed that if colony has new queen every year or two he gets the best results. That is. he gets the Iarg- est colony and. therefore, the most honey.
 Consequently. he raises as many queens as he wants. Any Iarva. if fed on royal jelly, will develop into a. queen; fact which Is most convenient for the would-be queen reareF
 All he has to do Is to provide some artifical cells which ne daubs with royal jelly. Then he puts little of this jellAy in the cells and places a larva upon 1t.
 When this inviting start toward a future queen bee Is put into queen less hive the bees accept tae hint. build aroyal cell about the larva and feed 1t with royal jelly till the time comes to seal il up.
 Tn nature. when the young queens come out of their cells theEe is battle royal among them the final survivor being accepted as queen of the colony. But this is waste of good material which the modern bee keeper cannot permit So his art.ficaJiy reared queens emerge into little wire cages, or nurseries. where they can peithsr kill their neighbors nor be themselves ktil- ed
 In this way an adequate supply of queens is constantly available The progress of apiculture in this country may be inferred from the fact that queen bees of the Italian variety are actually shipped from the United states to Italy to be used there as breeders.

Washington. March 5.-SecretarS Root has returned to Washington from New York. Among his callers today was Senator Sanchez. who was Secre- tary of State in Santo Domingo under the administration of President Mor- ales He was received as an individual and not in any official capacity The special purpose of the call of Senator Sanchez was to ascertain what would be done by the State department in the event that the Senate failed to act on the pending Dominican treaty during the present session.
 Apparently Senator Sanchez wishes to know what was to be done with that part of the money which was col leeted during the Presidency of Mora les. Secretary Root declined to furnish

LEE WOULD WIN
AT ANTIETAM TODAY
Sweeping Victory Is Demon
Strated as Reproduced on
Salisbury Plain.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The report Of the
umpire on the battle OF Antictam, Gen.
Ion Hamilton. Is Just out. The reproduc-
ton was by British regular and yolun-
teer troops In the maneuvers on Sails
bury plain Sir Ion declares that under
modern conditions Lee would have won
a great victory.
The general remarks in the course Of
his report that the battles Of the Amer
lean civil war arc much neglected by
European students. The chief lesson to
be gained from the reproduction Of the
battle Of Antietam is that with modern
artillery, heavy field guns, howitzers
and quick-tiring ordnance field guns the
position OF the defender would be
changed Instead OF being forced 10
withdraw over the Potomac Lee with
these weapons could have secured a
sweeping victory.
The commander who was Lees under
study on Salisbury plain, General Allen
by, smashed up the enemy's advance,
and the disposition Of his troops was
such that they entirely deceived the at
lacking side. The Lee Of today. in Cen
cral Hamiltou's Judgment by virtue %
a line Of defense flled with modern
artillery armament can ncuualiZe the
numerical supremacy which Lee had 20
face.

 Editors Sick From Drinking at Fa-
 nous Pluto spring.
 CHICAGO, June 21.-Some 800 mem. bers of the National Editorial associa. ton, with fifty sick editors on their hands, have arrived in this city. Ru- nor had 1t that they were poisoned by eating potted ham down in Indiana. Physicians finally exonerated the pack CTS and exposed the simplicity of the editors.
 They passed day as the guests of Tom Taggnrt at French Lick. They were introduced to the famous. Pluto spring and drank deep of the water. Probably seventy-lve of the men car ried fiasks of stronger liquids in their baggage. They innocently mixed the whisky and Pluto and drank.
 Not only did they drink 1t themselves, but they gave 1t to some of their wo. men folk. The result was half hun. dred poisoned editors and score of women who believed their last day had come. They moaned and groaned on the train and yelled for physicians at every station. They said it was meat and sandwiches given them al different Indiana towns. When they were enlightened they promised never again."

 The other day his vigils were re- warded by seeing a big blacksnake glide under the COW. assume an atti- tnde like a corkscrew. without making noise like one. and proceed to milk that COW.
 Joseph. after batting his eyes for a few moments, 10 see whether there was anything the matter with his vision. ran home. got his shotgun. and killed the snake.
 Round about the end of June Joseph rather expects to see his COWS milked that way. for blacksnakes with fond ness for milk fresh from the COW are rather numerous around Locust Dale. but this Is the first time he has seen any of them SO early In the season
