DISASTROUS BLAZE At LIBERTY
Town without Fire Protection Loses

Town without Fire Protection Loses
-Four stores By Flames,
BEATRICE. Neb., March 12-(Special
Telegram. THE most destructive fire In
the history Of liberty, this county, visited
that place at an early hour this morning.
wiping out four of the leading business
houses of the town and entailing a loss es-
timated at between $4,000 and $4,000.
The fire was discovered in the rear of
Goldberg's department store at o'clock
AS the town is without means OF fire pro-
lection the flames spread rapidly and
quickly communicated to Moore's drug
store. This place was consumed in a short
time and the flames then spread to Baw-
hays hardware End furniture store and
Corbin's large department store. Before
these places caught fire the whole town
turned out to fight the flames, but the in
tense cold made fire fighting extremely
dificult. The entire block was destroyed
before the flames were subdued and the
citizens of the town had the hardest kind
of work to prevent the fire from spreading
to other parts OF the business district. The
losses are estimated as follows: Corbin,
$40, 900; Moore. $1,000; Goldberg. 5000; Baw-
hay. S11,OOO. About half the loss is covered
BY insurance.

SNOW BLOCKS TRAINS in WEST
Drifts in wyoming Make IL Hard for
Union Pacific to Pull
Through.

Union Pacific trains from the west had
a hard time with the snow Sunday. Many
Of the trains arrived Monday morning a
day late. No. of Sunday arrived Monday
morning at $3.50 and was the first train
through, the others following. The trouble
was in the cuts in Wyoming, where the
snow drifted until the trains could not get
through. In several instances the engine
was detached from the train and used as
a battering ram to force a path through
the snow. On one occasion the engine
made a hard run and was with difficulty
backed out OF the heavy drift. No. T. due

BOTH FOOD
AND MEDICINE.

We like best to call SCOTS
Emulsion a food-medicine. 1t
is a term that aptly describes
the character and action of
our Emulsion. More than a
medicine-more than a food,
yet combining the vital prin-
ciples OF both. 1t is for this
reason that SCOTS Emulsion
has a distinct and special
value in all wasting diseases.
There is nothing better to
remedy the troubles of inn
perfect growth and delicate
health in children. The action
Of SCOTS Emulsion is just as
effective in treating weak
ness and wasting in adults.

STOCKTON, March 25. - Develop
ments today show that the man found
dead in a trunk at the Southern Pa
cific station in this city last night muir
dered was Albert N. McVicar, who
had been employed as timber man in
the Rawhide mine at jamestown, Tuo-
lumne county. The officers do not
hesitate to say that the person respon-
sible for his death is Mrs. McVlcar,
or the woman who went by that name
and whom he registered at the Cali
fornia rooming house here as his wife.
The police have found that she pur-
chased of a local dealer Saturday
morning the trunk in which the re-
mains were found, and they have also
discovered where she purchased the
rope with which she tied the trunk.
The expressman who hauled the empty
trunk to the room and later took 1t to
the depot with the bloody remains Of
the man inside has also related these
facts to the police.
Everything points to the woman as
the murderess, though the officers are
inclined to the belief that IL she did
not have help in the actual killing, a
imam at least assisted her in forcing
the remains into the trunk. She Is only
q woman of ordinary size, while he was
man Weighing in the neighborhood
of 100 pounds.
In support of this theory is the state
ment of the little daughter of Officer
Van Landingham, who occupied room
across the hall from that occupied by
the McVicars. She says she saw a
smaller man than the deceased come
and go from the place. The baggage
men also declare that they saw an
other man with the woman's hand
satchel shortly after she took it from
the baggage room. He was walking
nervously up and down on the lawn
near the depot. He is described as
man of black moustache and ordinary

ST. JOHNS, N. F., March 25.-After
being in peril from fire at sea, and
managing by desperate efforts to
reach this port in the midst Of gale
and a binding snowstorm, the British
freight steamer Titania struck a sub

late last night, had a hole torn in her
hull and today lies on the beach, where
she was put to prevent sinking. The
fire in the midship hold is still burn
ing fiercely. The Titania is in no SER
ious danger on the beach, but 1t is
probable that before the fire can be ex-
tinguished the midship hold will have
to be flooded. 1t is believed that the
greater portion of the cargo has either
been burned or ruined by water
The Titania sailed from New York,
March 18, for Lancaster. Early yes
terday she was reported afire off Sable
island and endeavoring to make this
port. The report created alarm for the
safety Of the crew, as it was feared
that in the storm she would be unable
to gain the harbor. The steamer man

she picked up pilot.
The ship had barely gotten under

Rapid Growth interesting in View OF
Varying Conditions Which Have
Existed Since 1855 - Over Two
Hundred Millions Last Year

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Trade of
the United States with Canada in the
fiscal year 1905 aggregating $2O2, ,949, 2l3,
against $50 429,096 in 1895, according to
a bulletin issued by the department OF
commerce and labor. It shows that in
the twenty years from 1875 to 1895 our
trade with Canada increased $67,O00,OOO
and from 1895 to 1905 it increased $114.-
O0o, 900. The larger portion of this growth
has been on the export side. The inn
ports increased from $27,S67,615 In 1885
to S62, ass, ,6S2 in 1905, and exports ad-
vanced from $34,547, ,219 in 1875 to $14o,-
529,5S1 in 1905.
This rapid growth in trade relations
with Canada" says the bulletin, rs
especially interesting in view of the
VARYING conditions to which commerce
with Canda has been subjected. During
the period from 1856 to 1866 reciprocity
treaty. was in force between Canada and
the United States, but in the latter
year it was terminated so that congress
between the two countries was unaf-
fected by special trade arrangements
until April, 1897, when the United States
was placed at slight disadvantage as
compared with the United Kingdom
products from that country entering
the Dominion of Canada being admitted
by special arrangement at reduction
of 121a per cent of the tariff levied on
imports from other countries. On Au-
gust /, 1898, the reduction of British
products was increased to % per cent
and on July 1, 1900, was still further
increased to 33 1-3 per cent
Despite these advantages in favor
of goods entering Canada from the
United Kingdom, exports to Canada
from the United States grew from
s29, 74S, 1893 in 1897 to S59,SO3,556 in 1904,

Gov. Curry in Hiding
from Warning
Pulajanes
Sixteen Americans Killed and Injured
in Latest Battle With FlIipinos,
Who Brought It About
Through Treaehery
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
MANILA, March 26.-According to
advices received today, the recent fight
at Magtaon, samar, between the con-
stabulary and the Pulajanes was the
result of base treachery on the part Of
natives. AS a result of the fight thirty
PulaJanes were killed and sixteen of
the constabulary killed and wounded.
A dispatch received from Captain
Jones of the constabulary at Magtaon
says that on March % Governor Curry,
Judge Lobinger and Superintendent of
Schools Hoover arrived there and
camped over night near the Pulajanes.
The presence of the officials was made
known to the rebellious natives, and
their leader announced that he would
surrender his force the next day. AS
result of this promise the Americans
returned to the town of Magtaon, ac-
companied by Colonel Aguilliar, an
other Pulajane chief.
The next day. Saturday morning, four
chiefs of the Pulajanes with over 100
men and fourteen guns, appeared at
Magtaon and lined up in front of the
constabulary barracks. Between the
barracks ahd the Pulajanes stood the
ground of American officials.
One OF the Cn1eIS expressed WISH
that his party be photographed in the
act of surrendering, and Superintendent
Hoover in compliance with his request
was adjusting his camera, when the
Pulajanes leader blew a whistle and
gave an order to advance. The entire
party of natives thereupon rushed upon
the American officials, who escaped to
the Magtaon river and swan to the op-
posite bank. When the treachery of
the natives was apparent the constabu-
larry opened fire, and a fierce fight en-
sued in which the constabulary gained
a decisive victory.
| The American officials were later
found, with the exception of Governor
Curry. He was last seen being chased
by PuIajanes, and is now believed to
be hiding in the dense brush in that
locality.
Three hundred constabulary are now
on the trail of the fugitive natives and
searching for Governor Curry.
