thousand dollars in gold is offered
as a reward in Spokane for the re-
covery of IS black diamonds and so
chip diamonds, valued at $4,000,
stolen from the Diamond Drill com
pany at the Centre Star Mine. Ross
land. B. e., the morning of June 2l
The diamonds were owned by Fred
Stone and E. H. knight of Spokane,
who used them in drilling. While
there is no clue, the police believe
that some one familiar with the of
flee is responsible for the loss of the
gems. The workmen fastened the
door when they quit work the night
of June 20, but failed to place the
diamonds in the safe On their re-
turn the following morning they
found the door unlocked and the
stones gone. Thomas Connor. mana
ger of the company at the mine and
the night watchman say they did
not notice any one in the office after
the workmen left the building. The

ion that an attempt will be made to
bring the diamonds into the United

EXPLOSION Of FIREWORKS
In Panic that Ensued Many Girls
Leaped from Upper Windows Re-
ceiving Painful Injuries-A
Jam in Doorways.

Cleveland, July 4.-Seven persons
were killed, at least two others were
fatally injured and fully thirty more
were severely hurt as the result of a
fire in S. H. Kress' five and ten-cent
store on Ontario street yesterday
The fire followed an explosion of
fireworks on display in the store
Opinions differ as to the exact cause
of the explosion. A woman who was
at the fireworks counter said the
stock was ignited by sparks from
device which was being demonstrated
to her by a clerk Chief Wallace and
the store manager were of the opin-
ion that the pieces were ignited by
an arc light.
Immediately following the explos-
ion an alarm of fire was sounded and
a panic seized the hundreds of clerks
and shoppers. A mad rush was made
for the doors and windows. Many
jumped from the second and third
floor windows.
The store, which is located near
the busiest corner in the downtown
district, was we'll filled with shop
pers, mostly women and children
/ Practically all the clerks were young
| girls. Although the explosion of the
/. fireworks caused CONSERVATION, the
real panic did not occur until some
one shouted fire
For an instant a hush came over
the crowd. Then women screamed,
some tainted and sudden fear over
came them. Crazed by the possibility
of injury or death, all on the main
floor rushed for the front and rear
doors. Quickly they were jammed in
the front doorway. During the jam
those who had attempted to escape
by the rear door were blocked in
their progress. The back door was
too small for all who sought safety
and the rear windows were closed
F.; with iron bars. Those who could not
escape in this direction turned to the
/ front door. While practically every
one on the main floor was able to
leave without injury through the
front door it was mainly because of
the jam at that door that the un-
fortunate women lost their lives.
Two of the clerks seeing no possibili-
, ty of immediate escape at the front
door, ran to the basement. The base
ment windows also were barred with
iron and their return to the main
floor was cut off by the approach of
the flames. The other women again
forced to the rear of the store by
the approaching flames, finally
sought safety under counter where
their bodies were found two hours
after the explosion. All had been
suffocated

Dearest father, you have left US;
One sad year since you have gone,
But we know you are in heaven,
Lingering with the happy throng.
How we watch to see you coming,
How we wait to hear you call;
How we miss you, darling father,
One we loved, SO dear to all.
When the Lord said, you have finished;
Come up higher, father dear,
You have won a crown in heaven,
But your pain you suffered here
Those who saw you in your casket,
Pure and white and oh. so fair,
Thought you were the bride of Heaven,
AS you lay so sweetly there.
