FLAMES TFRRORIzE
CIRCUS ANIMALS
Elephants Trumpet and Lions
Roar When Fire Menaces
Big Tent With Destruction

Elephants, trumpeting in fright
ened chorus, tugged violently at their
emergency chains and a dozen lions
roared in their darkened cages yes
terday when a fire, which destroyed the
John Quadt paint factory, at Market
and Tenth streets, enveloped In smoke
and threatened Barnum & Bailey's big
circus tent. 1t was only after the
most determined efforts that the keep
ers were able to subdue the beasts and
avert stampede.
While the trainers were roping the
animals in their cages, the fire depart
ment near byAwaS fighting to stay the
progress of the flames. Four firemen
sustained injuries, none of which was
considered very serious. Those hurt
were:
Captain Gillid, of chemical engine
No. A; knocked down by a horse, back
wrencbed.
C. w. Hall, engine 10; wounded in
left foot.
j. O'Brien, engine 20, hands burned
Charles Sullivan, engine "a; hands
burned.
The Gagged animals began TO display
signs of restlessness as soon as they
shifted the smoke, and few minutes
later, when they saw the glare OF the
fire and felt the hot wind they strained
at the bars in mad terror. In a few
minutes they had begun to below and
roar in their fright. Without mo-
ment's delay Harry Mooney, head ele-
phant keeper, rounded up his men and
with heavy iron chains fastened the
beasts by the legs to posts driven in
the ground.
In Riverside few months ago the
circus animals stampeded through the
city, killing a woman in their fright
during just such fire as threatened
them yesterday.
The blaze broke out at 1890 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the rear of the
Quadt establishment at 1421-1431 Mar
ket street, and caused a loss figured
at about 100000. In addition to the
paint, oil and wall paper departments
of Quadt's place, the clothing store OF
A. Lutz, adjoining, was burned The
blaze was attributed to spontaneous
combustion in oil soaked rags. Will
lam J. Conrad, foreman of the paint
.shop, had left but half an hour be-
fore and had not seen any evidences
of fire.

awful. He suffered dreadfully, and
screamed until we thought he would go

called In another doctor. He pre-
soribed the Cuticura Remedies. The
baby commenced to get better right
away, although by this time the disease
had Q good start. / don't think we
used more than three bottles Of the
Cuticura Resolvent, together with the
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.
1t was perhaps several months before
all traces of the eczema were gone, the
last being behind the ears, but the
Cuticura Remedies cured him COM
pletely, and he had the prettiest head Of

Planting Street Trees.

In laying out for street planting let
the first stakes be set at the street
crossings, says Park and Cemetery.
When the AUDITING streets also are to
be planted, place two stakes at each
corner about thirty feet from the point
Of intersection of the curb line on each
street. Then space off the intervening
distance, setting the stakes equally dis
tant apart, but not less than sixty-fve
feet as the shortest distance Street
trees generally are planted too closely
together. Sometimes this is done with
the intention Of cutting out alternate
ones, as the growth of the trees re-
quires. This, however, is seldom done,
and the trees grow up too thickly,
thereby overcrowding and injuring one
another, destroying all the individual
beauty of the trees and the symmet-
rical arrangement which an avenue of
trees should have.

refresh himself without having to go
to hotel to do it. People can also get

fore filling business engagements. It is

RATS of logs on account OF the hlgh
water and swift current in the river.
MANY logs GET away and 60 down the
river.
There are quite number OF idle men
on this side of the line as we'll as IN new
town. 1t is wrong to advertise in the
Spokane papers that there is plenty OF
work at this point. 1t only causes
knock for the town when men come
here after having read that there Is
plenty of work here to find that every
lob is filled and men waiting to do al
most any kind of work. The CORE
spondents should use little judgment
or ascertain the real facts in the case
before sending ia such stuff.
That sidewalk that the citizens of new
town were going to build last winter
would come in mighty handy right now
during this rainy weather. Pine street
is practically impossible on account OF
the piles of sawlogs and now somebody
has blocked the trail north OF the street
with a carload of shingles. Surely the
resident of old town who desires to pat
ronize the merchants on the other side
of the line has troubles of his own in
getting over there.
