The yellow pine lumber market IS l showing signs of nervousness born or the near election. The situation was expected but there are certain natural causes. too. that are operating on the factors
 The mills have opened up wonder fully of late. They are reported as having stocked up considerably and are fiilinR orders of more various grades than. a week ago. It has tend ed to reduce the firm position of the manufacturers who insisted on selling certain finer grades of stuff for two and three weeks delivery at pre- mium.
 There Is demand. of course. wheth- CT t6e Prince of Wth)aies of the House of, Teddy or pr. William. Jen- nings Bryan. of the Publicity House. is named to sit in the White House. houses are going to be built Both sides may rail all they want at the times as they will do if the other fel- low gets in the Presidential chair. the lumber Is going to be in demand and the fact that the past week has. witt messed a slight decline under two weeks ago In the yellow pine lumber market has not cut down the demand to, any alarming extent. Nobody Is weeping to hurt.
 There lis considerable pickup in building activity in Montgomery's limits. This taken in connection with the general improvement of building In the surrounding towns gives a fair stimulation to the retail and whole sale market of this section.
 Local dealers report a fair volume of trade. slightly under the business of two weeks ago.
 As for the mill men tfey have not worn, off their. smiles put on by. the kangaroo motion of the tint Der market a few days back. They are cutting full time and placing orders at healthy prices. Export demand is holding its own and interior inquiries have been rather brisk. No recession to the levels of six months ago Is expected.

Agonized Grief-Theatre
Fire.

Boyertown. Pa, January 13.-Be-
tween fifty and seveaty-five persons
were burned to death tonight in fire
which completely destroyed Rhoad's
opera house, in tnis place.
The opera house was crowded with
members of St. Johns Lutheran
Sunday school, who were attending a
benefit given for that church. While
the show was il progress tank ex-
ploded. The actors endeavored to
quiet the audience, but in their anx-
ietv to make themselves heard and
to avoid the awful stampede Of the
komen and children the coal oil
lamps which were used as footlights
were overturned, setting the place on
fire. The flames, fed by the oil, rose
almost to the ceiling, and there was
a rush Of the seven hundred persons
to escape from the burning building.
Scores of women and children We're
trampled upon and several who es-
capped being burned to death died af-
ter being dragged from the opera
house.
Boyertown, Pa, Jan. 14.-Whe;l
nightfaN put a stop to the work Of
recovering the dead from the ruins of
the Rhoades opera house, where last
nights holocaust occurred, the official
roll of victims numbered 167. Wheth-
er any more bodies are buried be-
meath the ruins can not be positively
stated, but it is believed that the to-
tai list Of victims will rot, go above
no. The ratio Of women and girls to
men and boys is about nine to one.
The work Of Identification Will not be
begun until tomorrow as most OF the
bodies are lying in a confused state

Addresses Prohibitionists of District
Of Columb bia in Favor of
the G.. M. I.

4 special frcm Washington to the
Columbia State. under late of De-
cember II. says:
Senator Tillman tonight proposed
to the prohibitionists cf the District
of Columbia. who are making a fight
for prohibition in Washington, that
they establish the dispe1sary. He
reviewed the history of the G. NJ. [.
in Sout:1 Carolina during its long ca
reer and said that it was a success
and would be the thing to- establish
here. The prohiibitionists held large
meeting in the First Congregational
church and Tillmal was one of the
speakers.
It was a new thing for the senator
to be making a speech in church,
but he made the same sort Of speech
that ne is wont to make on the stump
in South Carolina while preaching the
gospel of good "licker' and he used
the same sort Of words.
The church was filled to its utmost
and Tillmaa's remarks created the
great interest that they usually do in
Northern audiences.
