Mrs. Bert lived in Kansas City.
The fire started from an explosion OF
natural gas in the basement. The flames
and dense smoke spread quickly through
out the building. and before an alarm
could be given all means OF escape by
the ordinary exits had been shut off. The
five persons who lost their lives were
asleep on the third floor, and all were
burned to death in their rooms, except

Gated. and none apparently had even made
an attempt to escape. Before the fire.

flames, and the rooms on the upper floors
could not be entered.
Tried to Rouse the Sleepers.
Mabel Porter and Nina Graves. two of
the dead, occupied a room together. The
injured slept on the lower floors and in
the basement. Most of these escaped
without aid fighting their way through,

able to rescue others from the burning
building.
Mrs Bert lost her life in trying to
arouse the inmates. The dense smoke
pouring up the stairway soon filed the

LONDON TIMES LAUDS MESSAGE
Declares Presidents Pluck and Cour-
age Never Better Exemplified.

LONDON. February 1.-The Times IN
an editorial this morning on President
Roosevelt's message to Congress. says:
Nobody expected President Roosevelt
to be much frightened by the charges
that the recent financial crisis was an
outcome of his energetic action, but few
persons thought he would take up the
challenge in the audacious spirit of his
latest message. He. indeed, is SO far
from showing any signs of penitence that
he filings back tauht for taunt into his
opponents faces. and. further, takes oc-
casion to read his countrymen such a
lesson on their financial and political
methods as they never would stand from
any foreigner and have rarely, if ever,
heard from one OF themselves.
His pluck and persevering courage
never have been SO strikingly demon
stratcd as on this occasion. Roosevelt
has been the first since Lincoln's day to
see that the responsibilities of the United
States on the American continent and in
the world demand greater earnestness in
treatment"

The letter from the Fourth Assist

printed elsewhere in this issue, should
he the means of creating a deeper IN
terest in the public highways OF our
county. It is a deplocable fact that
the government finds it necessary to
take the matter in hand. 1t is a
shame and disgrace to the grand
old county of Lexington, that her
people take SO little interest in the
roads over which the rural mail car
riers have to travel. Let everybody
get together and work for the better
ment of our roads, 50 that the post
Office department. will not find it
necessary to discontinue any OF the
routes in this county On account OF
the bad condition of the roads.
