WOMEN AND CHILDREN
TRAMPLtD TO DEATH
Bodies Covered With Coal Oil and
Will Never BE Identified-
Pitiful Scene.

BOYERTON, Pa, Jan. 13.--
Nearly 100 persons of this borough
were killed in theatre fire and
panic tonight, and nearly three
score injured, many fatally. The
majority Of the killed were members
of leading families of the town
The opera house was crowded
with members of St. Johns Luth-
eran Sunday School attending a
benefit given for that church. While
the show was in progress a tank
exploded the actors endeavored to
quiet the audience, but in their
anxiety to make themselves heard
and to avoid an awful stampede, coal
oil lamps used as footlights we're
overturned, setting the place on fire.
Flames fed by oil shot up almost to
tie ceiling and there was wild
lush of 700 persons to escape from
the building. Scores of women and
children We're trampled and several
who escaped being burned to death
in the theatre, died after being
dragged from the opera house. In
many cases, it is said, entire fami-
LETS have been wiped cut.
The scene which followed The ex-
plosion is indeseribable. Scores Of
persons who were in the balcony at
the time the explosion occurred
jumped from windows and sustained
fractured limbs ard SOULS. To add
to the terrible disaster, the fire ap.
paratus became disabled and the
structure was left to the mercy Of
the flames. 1t is almost certain not
a vestige of the bodies OF the un-
fortunates overcome by smoke and
persisted will ever be found. AS
sistance was asked from Pottstown,
but just before the fire apparatus
from that place reached here, the
entire structure was roaring fur
mace. Had the women and children
needed the warning of cooler heads
in the audience, the horrible loss Of
life might have been avoided, hut
there was the usual panic and STAN
pede which Invariably follows such
a catastrophe. Special trains car
rying nurses and doctors We're rush
ed to this place from both Potts
town and Reading Every home
within radius of half a dozen
blocks of the opera house was made
a temporary hospital where the
wounded were hurried. Boyers-

ton of about $500, and is located

turned from North Yakima, where
he spent Christmas with his family
New cars will be put on early in the
spring and several additional miles
of track will be laid, says the Taco
ma Ledger.
1.-THE present city traction line in
North Yakima was built by a COM
pany composed entirely of local cap
italists. The franchise obtained from
the city by the company required
that three miles of road be COM
pleted and in operation by January
/, and the contractors finished the
work month ahead of time. At
present there are two cars in use,
bought from the Tacoma Railway &
Power company and formerly used
in Tacoma; but early in the spring
new and modern car will be put in
to service and | am told that sew
eral milees of additional trackage
will be laid
Construction of electric lines is
now occupying a great deal of at
tention in North Yakima. A large
number of the business men have
money invested in traction stock.
Early in the spring work will be be-
gun on the construction of an cleo
trio line from North Yakima east to
the Columbia river. The surveys for
this road, which will be built by the
Hannaford Irrigation Company,
were completed several monts ago
and active preparations are being

made to begin its actual construc-
ton. The road is intended to con-
meet North Yakima with the North
ern Pacific north of Kennewick and
will furnish long needed shipping
medium for fruit growers in the
Yakima valley. The shortest dis
lance from North Yakima to the CO.
lumbia river is about twenty-eight
miles. The new road will be link
in the chain of electric lines which
it is claimed Will eventually connect
North Yakima and Spokane. Al
though designed for freight business
passenger business will play an i'm
portant part in its operation.
"North Yakima is getting ready
for an active season. large amount
of street paving will be done this
spring, and the city council is now
considering whether brick or as
phalt will be used. North Yakima
is growing with wonderful rapidity.
For its size it is possibly the most
prosperous city in the state.

by any produce or commission trust
Mr. Louis V. Plugardt, formerly chief
clerk at the Hotel Yakima, and the
two twin sons of Mrs. Johnson, will

In Tacoma and North Yakima
Mrs. Johnson was very much of Il
society favorite and her houses were
frequently the scene of brilliant So
cial functions. The St. Francis has
already been the scene of many nota-
BILE banquets and gatherings, and with
a former Tacoma society leader as
hostess it will undoubtedly take high
rank among Seattle's select houses.
This enterprising woman is au-
thority for the statement that she
does not care whether the St. Fran
els does more than make expenses
for the next year, providing she IS
able to conduct it to the satisfaction
of herself and friends, and as she be-
lieves a swell family house should
be run. She said: cat the end of

efforts and be willing to pay for wha.

STARTLING STATEMENT Bi
81. PAUL FRUIT BUYER
States That Present Manner of Pack
ing Will Drive Price Down
to 30 Cents a Box.

UNLESS the fruit growers in the
Yakima Valley put a stop to their
present slip-shod method of packing
fruit, fifty cents a box will be he
highest price paid for Yakima fruit
before very long" said Charles A.
Moore, a member Of the J. B. Hoxsie
Co., the Oldest commission firm in
Minnesota.
I'VE have bought several car
loads of apples in this valley during
the past season and only two firms
have shown high grade ideas in their
packing. Whom a car of apples ar
rives we pick from the car several
boxes which we inspect. and if any
of those boxes show a poor quality
the car is graded accordingly, and
the price is Of necessity much lower
than it would be if the apples were
properly packed.
1--WE purchased during the last
year 10000 barrels of Michigan ap
pies, and I wish some Of the fruit
men in this valley could have seen
.hem. Every apple the same size,
same color, and all in the very best
condition.
1.-THE growers in that state, as
well as Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas
and other fruit states in the east are
making the packing of their fruit
the principal study and the result
is the very highest prices paid.
IN this valley, it looks as though
about every grower was trying to
see how many different sized apples
he could get into box without their
showing on the top layer. This is
all wrong, especial attention should.
be paid to having the apples uniform
in size and color, it makes very lit
lie difference whether they are large
or small as long as the whole box
is alike A box containing apples
the size of hens egg will bring
are large and the rest small
~ would suggest that your pack
ers stop crowding their fruit, by that
! mean it is a great deal better to
be one apple short in box than to
have nearly every apple more or less
rotten and bruised
1T seems to me your local mer-
chants do not consider the interests
of the fruit men or they would not
buy and sell apples that are affected
with moth or scale. If I were To-
cal man I would be inclined to in
troduce these apples which I pur-
chased today as evidence"
The apples We're Of the Pippin va

with a temperature of q, the first snow
of the season began falling shortly after
midnight just so il could get in under the
wire of the 18th. The precipitation is so
lght that 1t can be dignified only by the
meteorological record of r Crace). 1t was
sufficient in any. event to put a white

tinued with varying intervals all Of Fri

The first snow Of last year in November
was on the 10th of that month, the precipi-
tation being but on of an inch.
The snow Of Friday morning was sufti-
cient to bring juvenile America of Omaha
out onto the sidewalks with sleds. but ths
perverse snow was too insignificant to pre-
NIT coasting unless some industrious
youngster helped in pulling the sled down
hill.

STAMP TO RAISE SICK FUND
Red Cross Society Adopts Method of
Danish Government I'm Anti
Tuberculosis Cause.

-Four years ago the Danish government
issued a Christmas stamp with the kings
head and the word Jul" on 1t. Jul in
Denmark has the same significance that
'Yule" has in this country The stamp
vas not good for postage, but was intended
My as a sticker to be attached to Christ
mas letters and postcards.
Proceeds derived from the sale Of these
stamps were to be turned into a fund
toward building a tuberculosis hospital for
little children.
This method Of obtaining funds succeeded
beyond all expectation, and the Red Cross
society Of this country has issued a stamp
similar to the Danish sticker. Last year
the stamp was introduced in the state OF
Delaware and the demand exceeded the
supply. Nearly 5000 was cleared from the
penny stamp in that state alone.
This amount has been turned Into the gen.
eral fund of the Delaware Red Cross and
will be used in the crusade against the
great White Plague.
This year the American National Red
Cross has decided to issue the Christmas
stamp in every state in tho union. A
beautiful stamp has been especially de-
signed by Howard Pyle, the famous artist.
It bears a wreath of holly and MERRY
Christmas and Happy New Year" It will
be on sale at Red Cross headquarters ~
every state and will be handled throughout
the smaller towns by local dealers.
The stamps will be sold in sheets like
an ordinary postage stamp and also in
small books, nine for 10 cents, t~wenty-fouT
for 25 cents and forty-eight for 80 cents.
