A panic was started in the Orpheum

The scene of the fire was the heart of

The fire started shortly after 10 o'clock

of fire made by people rushing by the

people, who soon were surging pell nell
for the exits. Many on the main floor
quickly reached the street without caus-

people in that part of the house were soon
blocked by a congestion in the narrow

In the midst of the turmoil Clifton Cor

few days ago there appeared in The
Herald news item dated jefferson City,
No. which, In substance, stated that the
legislature of that good old state had
passed a law reducing the tariff on intra-
state business to q basis of Is cents for
10 words and l cent for each additional
word. The present arrangement is what
might be called a sliding scale-that is to
say, telegraph companies divide their ter
ritory into geographical districts and are
not governed by state. county or Other
lines of boundary demarcation, except in
limited sense. The ordinary rate for
local business is % and ,
W. p s. Hawk. superintendent of this
olvlsion OF the Postal Telegraph company,
with headquarters in Salt Lake CITY was
asked questions with reference to Missou-
ri's new law.
1T is barely possible that the companies
can make the rate pay, but [ doubt 1t
very much. Local business involves an
expenditure that eats u7 nearly all of the
revenue derived from it Local business
must have the ordinary sending and re-
celvlng over the wires: it must have de-
livery and quick delivery. if it is gone
after at all. The telephone has cut into
the telegraph companies business locally
TO material degree.
Limit Reached Here.
In this region the proposed Missouri
rate would be utterly out of all proper
ton to the service entaiied. Here we
have immense distances with very very
few towns that furnish business. In Mis-
souri, and other eastern states the con-
ditions are different; the popula ton IS
dense and consequently there is more
traffic. / think we have about reached
our limit hereabOuts on low local rates.
"As your paper stated, there has re-
Gently been an increase in some of the
telegraph tariffs. This increase. however
affects only night messages. Heretofore
night messages have been handled on a
ridiculously low schedule. 1t is true that
it does not cost quite as much to trans
NIT and deliver night message as it does
g day message, but it costs nearly as
much. Some of the wires are relieved of
their burden during the early hours of the
morning and that is when we send our
reds; but it is also a fact that we must
keep our first-class operator in service
to send our reds as well as to handle
our blacks (day messages and our pinks
crush messages). Il is just as easy o.

1t has been recommended TO con-

carriers be increased but according
to a local dispenser of country mail
there is no reason why the carriers
should be begrudged their additional

to write his mind on the matter and
in unique form it follows:
1.-The rural mail carrier is of few
days and full of trouble. He goeth
forth in the morning full of joy and
singing, he returneth at the eventide
filled with trouble and with an empty

late he standeth at the postoffice and

it cometh he jumpeth up and down
and cracketh his heels together with
JOY. He rushetI to his desk and
worketh in great haste to route his

serve his route ninety minutes late.

PHYSICIANS ARE
BEING KEPT BUSY
New Castle People Having
Round With Grip and
Measles.
CAUSED BY WEATHER
ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MUCH
OF PRESENT SICKNESS - EPI-
DEMIC HELD IN CHECK.

New Castle, Ind, Feb. 16. (Spl) =
Physicians in this city are certainly
reaping a bountiful harvest now, as
they are kept on the move almost
constantly, looking after many cases
of sickness, especially grip and meas
les, which are most prevalent at the
present time. 1t is estimated that
there are over one. hundred cases of
grip now in the city and new cases
are being reported every day. In
some cases whole families are afflicted
and it seems that when the disease
once gets started in a family, almost
Those who are not afflicted are trying
to keep out of it's clutches by taking
all kinds of representatives. and taking
care of themselves. The present con-
dition is thought to be on account
of the many and sudden changes of
the weather and the many rains which
have fallen.
Measles are keeping the physicians
as busy as is the grip. The city health
officer reports that there are about
forty cases in the city and in many
instances adults are afflicted. But it
is believed that the epidemic is not
incre asing as the number of cases re-
ported has been about the same for
the past few weeks.
