Wood Alcohol in Whisky

Some of the brands of whisky sold by the
druggists in this state about as far from
the standard of purity the foodstuffs, accord
ing to the Investigations of Commissioner Laid.
Samples of whisky submitted to him for analy-
sis have shown high 10 per cent Of wood
alcohol. Other samples have contained ingre-
dents that even the most confirmed boozer would
hesitate to pour into his system.
The commissioner is also examining other
brands of paint and finds that many contain as
high 20 per cent Of water. Others are en-
tirely deficient in white lead, despite the claims
in that respect. 1t seems to be the custom OF
many manufacturers to substitutes instead
of the real white lead.

Unpopularity Of the Rockefeller Product

Fargo, n. D., April 16.-The threatened in

appropriately of the Rockefeller output and the
reduced rates granted by the railroads on ship

make this field desirable for the men anx-

of three Independent concerns have been here,

A WORKING GIRLS HOTEL.

A hotel for working girls who earn
not more than SIS a week has been
erected in New York. 1t will be styl.
ed the Trowmart inn and will be
opened for business next Wednesday
Its patrons will be exclusively work
ing women under 35 years. For $5 a
week any deserving person of that
class may have room alone, with
breakfast and dinner. Two girls in
one room may have the same accom-
modations for $3.50 a week. On Sun
days and holidays, luncheon will be
served for Is cents. Connected with
the hotel there will be meeting rooms
and library for the use of all guests.
The purpose, evidently, is to provide
for working women accommodations
such as the Mills hotels have provid-
ed for men and the Martha Wash
ington hotel has provided for well-to-
do women. The purpose is worthy
and the need Is apparent Success
should follow if there is wise man.
agement-frst, in removing from It
every semblance of charity and con-
descension and, second, in emitting
needless and annoying restrictions
No patron should feel that she has
surrendered her proper liberty of &C,
ton, while each should feel that she
is paying for the service rendered but
getting for every dollar spent its full
value. The real benevolence of every
such institution consists in the econo-
my of combined service and the cut
ting out of the landlords profit.
Planned and conducted on suvh lines,
there can be no doubt that the inn
will prove to be an important benef1-
cence, for New York has many work
ing girls who are without homes of
their own. In Boston, where service
along this line has progressed further
its worth was long ago demonstrated.

How Il Happened
The Piano Manufacture
ers and Real Estate
Dealers Get
Together.

Just how II is possible for l. d.
Lovett to present all of his piano GUS
toners this week with lot worth at
least $3.50, is not so much mystery
after knowing the facts. The real es-
tate owner, wishing to enhance the
value of his allotment, sells every al
ternate lot to l. D. Loyett at a very
low price The piano manufacturer,
who wants to introduce his piano
without a cut in retail prices, gives
Mr.. Lovett a discount that helps to
defray a part of the expenses of the
lot S
1t is rare opportunity for the
prospective piano buyer to save at
least one-half the price of piano,
by obtaining free of expense to him,
the foundation to a home. worth one
half or more the value of the average
piano offered in this sale.
Like all other occasions of this sort.
the early buyer gets not only the
choice lot but selection from the
stock, which Mr.. Lovett is making
great efforts to reduce, for reasons
which will be seen later in the season.
Open till 8 D. m. this week.

FIRE BROKE
Out in Salvation Army
Hotel During Prayer
Meeting and One Un-
known was Killed.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 5.-Shortly ar
ter p. IN. Sunday fire broke out
in the waste paper room on the fourth
floor of the Salvation Army head
quarters at Eighth and Walnut
streets. A double alarm brought II
engines to the scene and they finally
succeeded in confning the flames
to the fiercely burning building which
is a total loss.
An inmate of the hotel whose name
could not be learned, who was room
ing on the fourth floor, slipped while
descending the fire escape and fell
from the third story to the pavement
and was killed. The building was
used by the Salvation Army as q no
tel and Offices and contained about
200 rooms. Loss on furniture and fix
lures is estimated at 100000. The
building which belonged to the Cup
pless estate, was an old structure and
worth about $4,000.
A prayer meeting was in progress in
room on the lower floor, when the
fire. which it was thought, had been
caused by spontaneous combustion,
broke out The building was called
the Southwestern hotel and was used
as the headquarters of the Southwest
ern province of the Salvation Army.

these so-called leaders that the very
means used by the president to roll
up his splendid vote in 1904 we're the
same ones Pattison used year later
so effectively in his campaign. Both
regarded public Office at trust OF the
people and not of the corporations.
Both held their oaths of Office sacred
Both took the people into their conf
dence. Both came to be regarded as
Slick politicians" because they beat
the politicians at the only game the
politician knows and by means the
politician holds in contempt because
he can never use them himself
But because there is no other Dem
ocratic Pattison looming big on the
political horizon of the state, Dick
and his henchmen evidently think the
coast is clear to resort to the old
machine methods which are perfectly
safe to employ when the opposition
offers nothing better, or perhaps a
shade worse. But it is a significant
fact that the people have never been
long in need oI a real leader, One
party or the other will supply it.
The prospect at present, it must be
admitted, is not encouraging. 1t is
not improbable that President Roose
welt could duplicate his performance
of two years ago, but he is not a can
didate for Office this year. In the
meantime he is chagrined that his
party associates in this great hotbed
of politics are not wise enough to
heed the lessons which were so unmis-
takably taught both people and poll
ticians in two successive campaigns
At all events the lesson has not been
wholly lost on the people. The tide
of independence that has been set
moving in Ohio politics is still run
ming high.

AS the hours go by it's becomes more
apparent that the authorities are get

The general strike movement is

Minor riots are reported in many

At NIGHT
knabenshue and Thomas
Took Flight in Airship
and Encountered Peril
in Star Gazing Trip.

New York, August 5.-With 10000
persons cheering the balloon Nire-
vana, carrying DR.. Jullna P. Thomas,
amateur aeronaut and Roy Knaben-
shue, scared from the Central Union
gas works, in the Bronx tonight after
dark. DR.. Thomas was eager for a
trip in the moonlight through the
clouds and an opportunity to do some
star gazing. while Knabenshue aim
ed to remain up all night with a view
to breaking the record in this section
for time spent in the air and distance
covered.
The balloon drifted over Long Is
land and the air currents were such
as the balloon passed over City Island
there seemed danger Of the men
being blown out to sea. The air cur
rent carried them over the sound and
was blowing in such a direction that
1t would only carry them over to Long
Island. If they threw out ballast and
ascended higher they would have
caught seaward current. When spin
ming along at an altitude OF 100 feet
the balloon passed over City Island
at $3.50 and Thomas and Knabenshue
were heard calling for assistance and
directions as to landing place.
A few minutes afterward Mrs.
Thomas arrived in City Island in an
automobile and rushing to the east
shore life saving station, begged Cap
tain Lane to go out after her husband.
She was greatly excited and feared he
would be carried to sea.
AS Captain Lanes crew could not
be collected Immediately others vol
unteered to go out in a boat after
the balloon. They had no difficulty
in tracing it, for the moon was shin
ing brightly and the flickers of head
electric light showed the men where
to follow accurately. The balloon
seemed to be dropping. The boatmen
tugged vigorously at the oars. They
had rowed more than three miles when
the balloon disappeared behind
point of land seven miles ahead.
When Cautain Lane returned he
said the strong tide had made it i'm
possible to go farther.
