lyn, N. T., one other is dead and fou,
others injured.
Fort Wayne, Ind, May AT least
IL persons lost their lives in fire that
destroyed the New Ayeline hotel here
early Sunday. The entire interior OF
the building is a smoldering heap OF
ruins, and how many are concealed by
theNdebris can only be conjectured.
Chief of Police Anckerburck saws
that he believed 20 bodies were still in
the ruins.
The known dead: r. s. Johnson
Pana, ILL.,; M. Hirsch. New York; ]. B
Miller, Sheboygan, Wis; ]. E. Ellis
employee of Carson Pirie, Scott & Co.;
W. A. Pitcher, Fort Wayne, salesman
for S. F. Boyster & Co., Fort Wayne;
q. w. Deviny, salesman for Crawford
& Lehman, Philadelphia. Three un
Identified men.
The known missing: Max Wessem
wrestler, Fort Wayne, formerly of St
Louis; b. B. Atty, Fort Wayne
Charles Benjamin, salesman for the
Detroit Neckwear company; Mrs
Sarah Hathaway, Mishowalxa, Ind;
unknown woman, companion of Mrs
Hathaway.
The complete destruction of the in
terror of the hotel makes the work OF
recovering the bodies a difficult task
A confused heap of charred wood
bricks and twisted Orders is piled ur
between the bare walls to the second
story, Piece by piece, this must be
removed before the roll of the dead
can be completed. Some of the bodies
taken out are mangled and charred be-
yond recognition.
The fire was discovered at $3.50 a.
m. in the elevator shaft by Night
Clerk Ralph Hopkins. He rushed to
the upper floors alarming the guests
until the flames, which had spread
with appalling rapidity, drove him
back. His effoiAs, however, saved
many lives.
The hotel was erected half century
ago and the woodwork was dry as
finder.
The fire department rescued many
persons by means of ladders, but some
frenzied by the onward rush Of the
flames, leaped from high windows to
the paved streets.
R. S. Johnson Of Pana, Ill, jumped
from the fifth story. His body struck
balcony and bounded far into the
street. He was crushed and bleed
ing mass when taken up, and died a
short time later in st. Joseph's hospi-
tai.
AS the flames increased, men and
women were seen in the windows Of
their rooms, where they wildly i'm
plored help. Those who got from their
rooms before the flames cut off their
retreat were able to make their way
to the nre escapes and so were saved
with comparative ease. Soon the
flames curled about the fire escapes.
Some of the more hardy ones braved
the flames and made their way
through smoke and fire down the iron
stairways.

Tribute to S. E. Ha1ruan.

Entered into rest S. H. Harman on
the morning of the Goth of June, 1908,
in the 2sth year of his age. Today
marks sad event in the home and
in the heart Of one who has lost a
fond, faithful and true friend. His
presence is greatly missed, but his
memory will ever be cherished. His
chief aim was to do good, to merit the
friendship of all, to be hostile to none.
1t was source of JOY to him to re-
lieve distress, to protect the feeble
and friendless; more than usually gift
ed with talent, perseverance and en-
ergy, he succeeded in the profession
which he had chosen.
Heleaves fond father, with broth
ers and sisters to mourn his loss, for
his was such domestic affectionate
disposition that his place in the home
circle is sadly missed; but we are
taught that God does not willingly
aff1ict or grieve us, and it is hoped
that He may comfort them with the
thought that all is we'll with their
dear one, and that he has merely
passed from death unto life.

Dispensaries il Fine Shape.

MIR. G. A. Derrick, clerk Of the Lex
ington County Dispensary Board, has
received the following letter from
State Dispensary Auditor West,
who recently checked up the books
and accounts of the board:
81 beg to submit the following re-
port on the dispensaries operating IN
Lexington county. On the 9Th OF
April I went to Lexington court house
for the purpose of checking up the
books and accounts as kept by the
County Dispensary Board, and also
to investigate the management of
their affairs. I found the books and
accounts accurately kept, and the
statements that have been made from
time to time by the board have been
in exact accordance with the books.
I exanined the bids and awards, and
it is my opinion that the board IS ex-
ercising good judgment in the pur-
chasing, and that it is acting in per-
feet good faith in all of it's manage
ment of the affairs of the dispensary.
The expense account is low, and there
are vouchers on file for all moneys
handled by the board. 1 balanced
the cash and find the same has been
accurately kept by the book-keeper:
I beg to state here that I did not
check and verify the assets of the
board other than cash account, but II
appears from the books that the dis
pensers with the County Dispensary
Board are in perfect balance and that
there are no shortages existing"

Nine Negroes Were Lynched
in Texas.

Houston, Tex, June 22.-Nine ne
groes met death last night at the
hands of mob in the vicinity of
Hemphill, in Sabine county. To-Day
both races secured arms and the ten
sion is such that race clash appears
imminent.
The lynchings followed the killing
of two white men by negroes. Two
weeke ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited negro church
and school house, where dance was
in progress, presumably in quest of
liquor. During the evening Dean was
killed and six negroes were held for
the killing.
Saturday night last Aaron M. John
son, promincnJ farmer, was assassl-
mated while seated at the dining table
with his wife and child, the bullet be-
ing fired through window. For this
crime Perry Price, negro, was ar
rested, and, it is stated, confessed,
duplicating Robert Wright, relative
of one of the negroes held for Deans
murder. Price declared he was Of
fered S. to kill Johnson.
Then followed the forming of the
mob last night, overpowering of the
jailor at Hemphill and the lynchiDg
of the six negroes held for the muir
der of Dean. Five were hanged to
the same tree, while another attempt
ed to escape and was shot to death.
Later in the night William Mccoy,
another negro, was shot and killed
while standing at the gate of the
Johnson home, and this morning the
bodies of two more negroes were
found in the creek bottom.
