FATAL KANSAS CITY FIRE.
Several Dead and Many Injured ny the Burning of the Pepper
 Building.

Kansas City, May 9.-A disastrous fire in which several persons were killed and numerous others were h. jured started Wednesday at o'clock in the Pepper building, Ninth and Locust streets. Little is known of how the fire started, but in few minutes the flames were leaping from floor to floor, consuming the impris- oned inmates of the building wao could not reach the lower floors De- cause of the flames which were eat ing their way up from below.
 Many, finding that they could not reach the ground in safety, leaped from the upper floors to the hard pavement below, where they met al- most instant death
 Among these were Prof. Demar, a teacher of vocal music, who, finding that it was impossible for him to reach the lower floors in safety, leaped to the pavement from the sixth floor and was dashed to death ,n the pavement below His body fell at the feet of a reporter for The Pos, who was a witness of the ca- tastrophe. After hitting the pave ment he never moved being instantly killed
 The fire started on the second floor of the building and its course was so rapid that in ten minutes all escape had been cut off. The origin of the blaze is mystery, but 1t is supposed the careless handling of matches or careless smoking in the rooms oc- cupied by Montgomery Ward & Co.,, was the cause. At the time the fire started 12 women were in the Athen- aeum rooms and at the first alarm the matter was treated as a joke.
 The dead: Prof. George Demar, vocal teacher, jumped from sixth floor; J. A. Farrell, vocal teacher, jumped from third floor; Edith Lowe, daugh- ter of Frank NJ. Lowe; Lena Weber, daughter of Adolph Weber.
 The injured: Maude Speyer, fell from fire escape, will die; Miss Alex Rndra Blumberg. vocal teacher, jump ed. will die; Mrs. James H. Boyle, Sheridan, Mo: E.W Brown, BIO East Eleventh street, fell from fourth floor while being carried to safety by fire. nan

FRUIT JUICES KILL GERMS.
Lemons and Apples Fatal to Cholers
 and Typhoid BaciIli.

Among some "science notes" re published by the Indian Mirror tht following relate to the virtues oi fruit. This is supplemental to tho well-known effect of the juice of acid fruits, such as lines, apples, pineap' pies, etc, in mitigating the craving for alcoholic drinks.
 It is said that an eminent Japan csc baeteriologist has recently shown witt success that the acids oi lemons, apples and some other fruit; are capable of destroying all kinds and varieties of the germs which cause disease and pain in the human body. The acids, citric and malic, contained in the fruit juices prob ably have the effect of killing these disease germs.
 Cholera germs are said to be killed in l5 minutes by lemon juice or ap- pie juice and even typhoid germs, which have great resisting power, are killed in about 30 minutes by either of these acids, even in a very diluted form. A tumbler full of cold water saturated with cholera bacilli might be gulped down ones throat with impunity provided a lemon has been squeezed into it l5 or 20 minutes prior to the act. The safety here lies in the absolute eer- tainty of the destruction of the bacilh by the action of the lemon juice What is a delicious drink to the human being is here evidently a poison to these micro-organisms.
 Thus the two most dreaded dis eases in India-that is, Asiatic chol- era and typhoid fever-haye a sim pie remedy to eheckmate their rav- ages. These prevalent and aniver- sal diseases have now this universal remedy. Lines are within the reach of the poorest people in India and they could be secured for very email price, even in the districts of great scarcity. Even the people by having a plentiful supply of lemons and oranges in the times of epide;n- ics could tide over the infection with rrnaf credit

WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS IS ISSUED

St. Louis. May 9.--Thorough his at torney, J. D. Johnson, H. Clay Pierce, chairman of the board of the directors of the Waters Pierce oil company, sur rendered himself Wednesday on the indictment returned against him in Texas. charging perjury in an affi- davit he made to the attorney gen eral of the state of Texas, the purpose of the affidavit being to reinstate the Waters-Pierce Oil company in the state of Texas from which it had been busted from doing business on the grounds that it was d part of the Standard Oil company.

Pierce.
 The writ was issued by Judge Adams, returnable forthwith, and it was said by the clerk of the court that as soon as it could be served on Chief of Police Creecy Mir Pierce would be taken into court.
 Chief of Police Creecy stated that Pierce had voluntarily surrendered, word having been received that Pierce was waiting in the office of his coun- sel, Attorsey Johnson.

Sleep and Old Ace.

There is no question that the quan. tity of sleep required steadily dimin- ishes from infancy to old age. This is rather interesting exception to the general rule that, as in so many matters, old age returns to the needs of infancy. As regards sleep, old age is more remote in its needs from infancy than is any other pc. riod of life. If elderly people ob, tain good sleep during the first few hours and if they have not lost that delight in reading which we all had in youth, but which so many of us curiously lose, their case is not to be grieyed over. The special value of the earliest hours of sleep, by the way, has been proved by psychologi cal experiment. The popular phrase beauty sleep" Is we'll warranted. It is the early (the deepest) hours of sleep that make for health and beauty.
