Lives Lost in Hotel Fire.

A special from Lowell. Mass, says that
several persons are thought to have lost
their lives and more than twenty injured
in fire which partly destroyed the Rich
ardsOn hotel, one of the leading public
houses in that city. The Richardson hotel
is mOderate-sized structure of brick and
is four stories high. When the firemen
reached the scene the flames had pene-
trated to several of the floors and dense
smoke was issuing from the windows
TO which many of the guests in the up
per part of the structure had fled to es-
cape suffocation. The firemen and police
rescued many guests, twenty or more of
whom had been injured. The firemen re-
ported that they had seen a half-dozen
bodies of women on the fourth floor.

Office made a report to Gov. Hanly, show
Ing that the amount still unpaid and due
the state from David f. Sherrick. ex-
auditor of state, is sJO,S47.O2, about 1000
In excess of what was thought to be the
sum due. Based on the figures submitted

exposure, after subsequent payments due,
was figured at $4,000 This amount had
been raised and was ready to be paid over
to the state, but payment was delayed to
ascertain whether OF not that was the sum
needed TO square the account.

When lost in heavy woods,
ones best course, when pos
sible. is to climb a tall tree and
endeavOr to get some sort OF
bearings. In any event, keep
going as straight and as far
as possible. If one travels tar
enough, he is bound to come
out somewhere, and just where
that may be does not matter,
as long as one comes out at
all. When working in strange
woods, | endeavOr either to get
into a narrow valley or else to
work along a trout or other
stream. In either case there is
little excuse for getting lost,
for one scarcely can travel out
of valley without noticing the
ascent, while the man on the
stream has only to mark the
flow at the starting point to
learn if he is bound up or down
stream, and then be guided by
the current when he concludes
to turn campward.
To get lost in heavy timber
is bad enough, but dense
growths are the worst, for on

most invariably the gong IS

1t is curious how similar is the effect
OF being lost upon different types of
men. Some at first Will laugh and
make light of the matter, while others

that few men know how to take care

The sale of these bonds which were au-

Shortly afte- the bonds were authorized.
r. A. Mitchell and associates through
their attorneys secured an injunction re-

was secured were that the city authori-

POLITICS WARMING

A NUMBER OF CANDIDATES ARE
EXPECTED TO ENTER RACE FOR
MAYOR AND AS MEMBERS OF
TOWN COUNCIL.

East Lake, Ala, March 3l.-(Special)-
beginning to warm up The municipal
election will be held ON the first Monday
In May and a mayor. eight councilmen
and four members of the school board
will be elected. As yet no one has an
nounced for any office, but number
of candidates are expected to enter the
field in the near future.
w. j. Martin is spoken of as a prob
able .didate for the mayoralty, and he
may be the only aspirant for the office.
Mr. Martin has held the office of alder
man and is the present city attorney
He has been a resident of East Lake
for number of years.
The interest of the town is eentered
in street and sanitary improvements, and
as the state legislature will meet next
year. great effort will be- made to pass
an amendment to the present charter. 1t
Is desired that broader powers may be
granted as 1t Is impossible under the
present charter to improve and beautify
the town in a satisfactory manner
AS Mr.. Martin is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of East Lake In conse-
quence of his former ofhelal positions. II
is claimed that a large number of the
citizens regard him as the logical man
for the office.
All the present members of the hoard
of aldermen will possibly stand for re-
election but It Is rumored that the fol-
lowing gentlemen have aspirations for
seats:

that no opposition will develop to the
