AvERTS SERIOUS PANIC.
Bravery of Elevator Boy Saves Many
Lives.

Lives.
New York, April 24.-What prom
ised to be serious panic in a six
story apartment house on Lexington
avenue near Forty-eighth street was
averted by the quick wit and bravery
Of Charles Laundy, an eighteen-year-
old elevator boy. Fifty families oc-
cupy the house and it contained near
ly 200 women and children when
Laundy discovered threatening fire
in the basement Calling to another
employee to send in an alarm he
jumped it into his elevator, ran it to
the top floor and warned the tenants.
He took as many as his car would
hold, telling the others to run down
the stairWays. The alarmed tenants
on the fifth floor were then visited by
the boy in. the car and another big
load quickly removed. Laundy con-
tinued, keeping the car going up and
down, and by the time the firemen ar
rived the building was cleared of its
tenants. Fireman Martin Kelly was
overcome by poisonous gases while
fighting the flames, which were con-
fined to the lower portion of the
building and were extinguished with
comparative ease once the firemen got
at them.

DISCUSSES STATE RIGHTS
Senator Rayner of Maryland Makes
Interesting Speech.

Washington, April 24.-State rights
was the subject of an interesting
speech in the senate by Senator Ray.
ner of Maryland. Mr. Rayner spoke
on his resolution declaring that in the
opinion of the senate the powers dele
gated by the Constitution to the Unit
ed States must not be enlarged by i'm
plication or so construed as to con-
f1ict or encroach upon the reserved
rights of the states as guaranteed by
the tenth amendment.
"The trouble with the president is,
said Mr.. Rayner, land I always speak
of him not only deferentially but with
great personal respect, that he re-
CARDS himself as vested with unlim-
tied executive power under the Con
stitution.
Some of our prominent leaders,
with unrestricted exultation, have ap-
plauded the president to the echo and
in unmeasured terms have commend
ed his revised edition of the Constitu-
ton of the United States. A wild and
frantic hosanna lately pealed forth in
an adjoining chamber from Demo
cratic bosomS as a message replete
with the assumption of unlawful exec
utive authority resounded through the
hall If the president should be nom
mated by the next Republican con
vention what will our spokesman anH
orators say who have become the dis
ciples of his creed and in wOrshipfuB
idolatry have bowed at his shrine?"

Pittsburg, April 24.-Four men were
killed, three seriously injured and 100
others had a narrow escape from

EARLY FLOWING.
II Is q Most Effective Method Of De
stroying Weeds.

II has been demonstrated again and
again that early blowing Is a most
effective means Of destroying weeds.
J especially the perennials which are
propagated from roots that winter in
the soil rather than from seeds. The
wild artichoke has taken possession
OF many fields during the summer
where small grains were sowed last
! spring. This is due TO the fact that
water has covered these low lands for
! days. or even weeks, in some local.
ties, which drowned or rather smoth-
cred, the grain and the artchokes
prospered under the conditions that
prevailed. The Wild morning glory
