The little son Of Mrs. Martin was
almost suffocated and fell down the

he had sufficiently recovered to tell
what caused him to fall the fire bad

not be extinguished. The other
small boy, a son of r. Gray, could
not be rescued and was burned with
the building. This should be a
warning to parents not to allow
their children to play with matches.

LUSITANIA MAKES NEW WORLDS
RECORD FOR TRANS-ATLAN-
TIC PASSAGE MADE BY
SAME VESSEL.
One Hour and Twelve Minutes Taken
From Time of Recent Best Voyage,
and Several Other Records Sur
passed-vesseI Brought Immense
Amount Of Gold to Be Added to
Available Cash Of This Country.

New York, Nov. S.-The marvellous
record established less than a month
ago by the giant Cunarder, Lusitania,
when she cut several hours from the
passage time across the Atlantic, was
broken by the anne vessel in the trip
completed early this morning, and in
cidentally several new records were
made.
Better Than Twenty-four Knots.
These include the best run 61S
knots, an average of more than 600
knots for every full day and an hv-
erage hourly speed Of 24.25 knots for
the full 2,7S1 miles On the last voyage
the Lusitania covered the distance in
4 days, 10 hours and so minutes.
Cuts One and One-fifth Hours.
The voyage ended today was COM
pleted in 4 days, IS hours and 40 min
This was done under weather
conditions far from favorable.
Immense Shipment Of Gold.
The Lusitania brought over nearly
$12, 900 900 in gold, more than a quar-
ter OF the immense total which has
been engaged abroad by American
bankers since the present movement
began. This gold was transferred to
the consignees and was then added to
the country's available circulation.

Benefit Supper a Success.

The benefit supper and dance given
at Maennerchor hall last night, by a
number of kindly disposed men and
women of the city for the relief OF
William Hyland, a former conductor
here, who is blind and bedridden from
paralysis, resulted in both a financial
and social success. A committee con-
sisting of Mrs. Oscar Morris, Mrs. John
Smart, Mrs. ]. l.. Kissick and Mrs.
Louie Byrnes had charge of the affair,
serving both an early and late supper,
feeding more than 400 persons during
the evening. The dance was quite well
attended and heartily enjoyed, the
Neithe orchestra furnishing excellent
music. Mr.. Hyland has a family in
this city and since he was stricken
they have had to make their own way.
The ladies having charge of the sup,
per and dance are glad to be able TO
hand a considerable sum to the head
of the household for necessary ex-

site, returned to the city yesterday
afternoon. He expects to begin opera

Distance Of the Line.
BY the accepted route of the propoi
ed extension of the line from Centen.
NAL, Mr.. Stewart finds that there are
thirty-three miles between Centennial
ind the state line and forty-four miles
of line in the State of Colorado, which,
will take him to the Raich coal Ill
by way of Walden. The distance from
here to Centennial is thirty miles,
making LOT miles for the line as at
present decided upon. 1t was found
that the distance by way of Walden
was greater than the first line run, but
that the probable increase in business
and consequent revenue for the COM
pany would be correspondingly great,
justifying the added mileage.

FORT COLLINS BUYER
MAKES BAD RARGAIN


A sheep feeder named Louis Kearns,
from Fort Collins, Colo, bought about
100000 worth Of sheep from Fred
Henderson, Alex T. Butler and d. c.
Clapp, a month ago, says the Casper
Tribune, paying $1,000 each to Mr..
Henderson and Mr.. Butler and $500 to
Mr.. Clapp, with the understanding that
the sheep were to be delivered on the
25th of october, but on account of the
slump in the stock market as well as
the money market, Kearns failed to
take the sheep and he is u the $500,
but those who sold to him claim that
the money they received as first pay
ment will not pay them for the loss
they sustained. He left Casper in the
night by team and buggy n the peo-
pie who sold to him did not know he
gone until he was out Of the coun.
try. Kearns is the same man with
whom Eugene Mccarthy had consider
able trouble several years ago in col
lecting money for sheep sold to him.

that Secretary Taft will also seek an

Trying to stem Golden Tide.


New York, Nov. 8.-The advance in
the discount rate Of the Imperial Bank
of Germany from 6s to tx per cent,
announced today, is further evidence
of the determination of the European
money centers to protect their gold
against depletion by the United States.
This rate is the highest the German
bank has ever had.
Too Late to Hurt Here.
American gold engagements already
placed in Europe approximate $40,-
900, 900. SO that the increase In the
foreign bank rate does not operate as
seriously as it might have done during
the earlier days of the money strin-
gency.
Twenty Millions Received.
About $40, 900, 900 of the gold has
already reached New York. including
$12, 0OO, 900 brought by the Lusitanla.

which she received in the schools.

1t vas announced here a few days
ago that at least two of the banks of
the state, one at Rawlins and one at
Rock Springs. had declined to cash
the checks of the railroad company,
contending that the company's deposit
tary at Omaha mad declined to advance
the money on these checks under the
so-called cashiers certificate plan
adopted by the banks of that city and
other large cities in the west, and the
question of getting money on the
checks was one that confronted a good
many people here and in every Union
Pacific town in the state, many of
whom could not afford to carry the
checks, the merchants having some
hesitancy, in the cities where the
banks had agreed not to take them.
and the action of Mr.. Crumrine and
his bank will have a tendency to allay
any fears of trouble when the October
checks are distributed here about the
18th. The statement by the vice pres.
ident will place the merchants on n
sound basis in the matter, and the
checks will continue to be handled as
heretofore, many of them coming to
the banks through the merchants, who
accept them in payment for goods.

LARAMIE LITERARY CLUB DOES

ING FOR THIS CITY.
Business Men and Others Severely
Taxed for Churches and Other
semi-PubIic Buildings, and Club
Thought Rest Would Be Better
Saloons and Liquor Traffic.
BY w. S. Ingham.

At the meeting last night OF the lar
annie Literary club, under the head OF
current topics, the establishment in
Laramie Of a Y. M. G. A. was dis
cussed. 1t appeared to be the feeling
of the members present that the time
was not opportune for a movement
toward the erection Of a building 1or
that purpose. 1t was stated that the
city has recently subscribed approx
imately $50, 900 toward the erection OF
churches, and that many people, es'
pecially the business men, consider
that the limit has been reached for
the time being. The opinion was also
expressed that the only way to sue
coed with Y. M. C. A. work is, first OF
all, to employ the services Of a mar
thoroughly trained in the work, who
would be abe to advise II the plan Is
feasible here, and, if he finds condi-
lions favorable, to proceed with a
thorough system of organization. 1t
was stated that the headquarters OF
the Y. NJ. G. A. a supply the mar
needed.
Saloons and Liquor Traf1c.
The subject led to the discussion OF
saloons and the liquor traffic. 1t was
the opinion of n member that the
best method to regulate the liquor traf.
fc is to take of all tax from the man
~ufacture and sale of in~toXicants, the
idea being that experience has shown
that such a course eliminates the
habitual drunkard, leaving those who
are able to exert self-restraint and
those best fitted to lead progressive
lives to carry on the work Of the coun-
try. Southern France and Italy were
cited as examples of such a state of
things and the Island Of Jersey and
Canada, before the excise laws, as ex
amples Of the good results Of absolute
ly free intoxicants.
Growth Of Sentiment.
The rapid spread of prohibition SEN
timent, especially as shown by the
elections Of this week, vas spoken Of
as Indicative of the whole nation being
pledged to prohibition within the next
twenty-five years. Kansas City, Kas.,
was spoken Of as showing that the
loss Of revenue derived from the tax
upon ~Nintoxicants was much more
than equalized by the decreased cost
Of maintaining the law and order and
