TROUBLE BREWING
 IN PENSACOLA

Montgomery, August 15.-A special to the Advertiser from Pensacola, Fla, says:
 Finding that the negro under arrest in Milton is not the man who assaulted Mrs. Moclair, and believing that the sheriff has the criminal concealed in some other county, crowds of angry and disappointed men gathered on Palafox street early to- night and shotguns, revolvers and rifles were much in evidence
 Some of the crowds were in an ugly mood. and in more than one instance ne- groes who were passing were told to run which they did without hesitating. The probable reason for this violence was the report that the negroes were hoioihs se- cret meetings.
 Late in the.afternoon hardware stores did a rushing business, selling shotguns and other arms, as well as ammunition.

BIG HOTEL BURNED
 IN OKLAHOMA CITY

Oklahoma City, Okla., August 15.-(spe- cial.)-Fire starting in the basement from defective wiring, tonight totally destroyed the Lee Huckins hotel, the largest hotel in Oklahoma City. The loss will total $l5o,OO0, with insurance at N5,0OO. The new seven-story annex recently erected at a cost of s75,0OO was only saved by the fire- men concentrating their efforts on 1t and adjoining buildings, the walls being kept wet by constant streams of water. The hotel proper was a five-story brick. It was miraculous that no lives were lost.
 The fire was discovered shortly after 9 o'clock, and 15 minutes afterward all es- cape was cut off. One woman caught on the seventh story of the annex was res- cued by the fremen. The structure was owned by the Lee Huckins Hotel com pany, which owns hotels in Shreveport, La., and Texarkana, Tex.

Cologne and Its Trade Secret.
the Portland Telegram.

From the Portland Telegram
 The River Rhine, it is well known,
 Doth wash your City of Cologne;
 But tell me, nymphs! what power divine
 Shall henceforth wash the River Rhine?
 That stanza of Coleridge's comprises the sum of the average untraveled man S knowledge of the famous German city Cologne has guarded its trade secrets well, and even today, Vice Consul Le- Simple says, it is difficult 10 get infolma- tion about it's principal industry. He has, however, gleaned some interesting facts. which are presented in recent re- port to the state department. He says:
 'The toilet water industry in Cologne was established in the beginning of the seventeenth century. At that time the city numbered about 30. GOO inhabitants, while the present population is 45O,0O0. Cologne gained pre-eminence in this in- dustry through the inventors of toilet water CEau de Cologne). These were Paul Feminis and Maria Clementine, a Cath ollie nun. who came to Cologne, where for many years they manufactured the Eau de Cologne, and so founded the toilet water industry of this city. This was begun on a small scale, with only a few persons employed. whom they did not in- itiate into the secrets of the whole pro- cess, the last and most important mixture being made by the inventors themselves.
  Tarina family while the nun nequeathed the secret to one Peter Schaeben. who had been her assistant for many years. Both families still carry on the business and are the leading manufacturers.
 "The importance of the industry is by no means great enough to make the city dependent upon it. There are about 20 manufactures of Eau de Cologne in this city, five of them being of importance. They each employ on an average 10 men The wages paid to employees vary between s1 .25 and s2 per day, while the office men receive salaries, according to their ability ranging from $150O to $2O0O.
 "It is difficult to approximate the money invested in the business, but it may be stated that the outlay by the different firms varies from $1O,0O0 to S2oO,o0o. The toilet water industry is confined to the City of Cologne. The chief countries mak- ing purchases are England and its col onies, Austria and Russia"

 In speaking Of this matter yesterday. afternoon Sheriff Higdon said:
 According to reports Judge Weaver re- bnlled the entire sheriffs office for this, which is not true. In fact, he commend ed the work of this department, and he set. the case for this morning in order that Linn might present. I have always said that I would prosecute one of my deputies for a violation of the law as quickly as I would any one else, and as soon as this case was brought to light the warrant was sworn out.
 Linn after getting out of his troubles came to me and promised to be good, and asked that I make him a deputy, as he could turn up some much wanted crim- inals. I did so and he made a heavy bond, and he did as he had agreed, turn ing up two or three murderers and other criminals who had escaped and were liv- ing in other parts. He was kept en- tirely on special work"

Says He Paid the Deputy $13.25 To Turn Him Loose After Being Arrested For Gambling.
 Woman Implicated,

A warrant for the arrest of Special Deputy Sheriff Oscar Linn was sworn out by Sheriff E, L. Higdon yesterday morn Ing. charging Linn with having accepted a hrihe for the release of a negro whom he had placed under arrest Linn has not yet been apprehended,
 The swearing out of the warrant was the result of the trying of eight negroes before Judge Weaver on the charge of gaming, who with four others were re- leased on bond and their cases set for another time Tine other negro, Will White, it is alleged. presented Linn with s13,25, whereupon the officer released him.
 The eight cases were called Thursday morning, Tom Gardner being the first one tried. Linn was placed upon the stand first and told the story of how he had caught the negroes gaming and had ar rested them, producing one of tho packs of cards with which they had played. Gardner was afterwards placed on the stand and the story of the bribe fol- lowed,
 After hearing further testimony along this line Judge Weaver continued the case until Friday morning at 10:30 o'clock Linn having disappeared after the giving of his testimony At the appointed time he failed to put in an appearance and tho warrant was immediately sworn out for his arrest by Sheriff Higdon. In issuing the warrant Sheriff IIigdon stated that while his personal opinion was that Linn was innocent, the charges were serious, and that he would prosecute one of his deputies just quickly as any one else for violation of the law.
 Hattie Campbell, negro, was in the court room at the time of the trials and was put under arrest in connection with the bribery charges, it being alleged that she furnished White with part of the money he paid to Linn.
 Judge Weaver dismissed the cases

The proprietor of a Chicago hotel tells of an eccentric guest who registered with him about the time of the simpliffed spelling furry, and who undertook, in an ingenious way, to show his contempt for the opponents of the proposed reform.
 When the newcomer spread his sigma ture on the register, it was at once ob- served that the name was most un- usual one-"E. K. Phtholognyrrh.'
 Beg your pardon, sir, said the clerk, "but how do you pronounce it?'
 Turner" was the reply, and spelled in approved fashion. too
 twill you kindly explain?'
 Simplest thing in the world" said Turner First. we have 'phth,' the sound of t in phthisfs' then, 'olo, the sound of 'ur' in colonel; thirdly, 'gn representing the sound of m in 'gnat' and, finally, 'yrrh,' the equivalent of 'er in 'myrrh." If the combination doesn't spell Turner, what does it spell?

The case will probably be concluded to- day.
