ruins are cleared up.
1t was only a very few of the guests
who were first awakened that were
able to escape through the halls and
stairways. As soon as the alarm be-
came general the guests were forced
to seek other means for their safety
The alarm wires in the hotel were
burned out and the negro porters as
sisted in spreading a general alarm.
The negroes worked hard and inces-
sanity in the rescue work. Col. Cor
don himself awakened Ex-Governor
Click and other guests. Guests who
stopped to gather their belongings
were dragged from their rooms by the
porters and carried to places of safe
ty. These two men worked until ev-

pointed to way of escape.

Chambermaid Tells Story
Mrs. Anastasia Herman. chamber
maid who slept on the second floor was
one of the first to escape from the
building. Mrs. Herman jumped from
hall window in the southeast part of
the building. She tells the following
interesting story of her escape and her
impressions of the affair:
Some time about o'clock in the
morning I awoke and found everything
quiet but the room was intensely cold.
I tried to turn on the heat but the
pipes remained cold and so I returned
to bed. Shortly after this. 1 was
startled by a. noise in the club room
above me. 1t sounded as though some
one was picking up chairs and throw
ing them from one part of the room to
another. I was preparing to lie down,
when the same noise was made in the
kitchen. I then began to think that a
fight was in progress and that the
participants had fought their way down
to the kitchen. Then I put on my shoes
and made my way down the back
stairs 10 the kitchen to see what was
going on. / opened the kitchen door
and the fire and smoke issued forth. l

ToDAY's MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago. Jan. 15.-WHEAT-Timidity of
local bears who had been severely punish
ed the past two days had a tendency to
restrict trading in wheat today. There
was no great support from bull leaders in
evidence and as a result sentiment in the
pit was weak At the opening prices were
1s1sc to sc lower with initial quotations on
May at $.067z61 06ss. Later May sold
off to S1.06ss Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi
cago reported receipts 159 cars.
The market became weaker the ses-
sion advanced. Liberal shipments from
Argentina and Australia brought out ad-
ditional offerings For May. the low point
was reached at S1.0512. The close was weak
with May off 1G14sc at $1055s@1O5A.
CORN-Increased offerings of corn from
Iowa and Nebraska had a depressing ef-
feet on the market for that grain. Com
mission houses were the chief sellers and
buying was scattered May opened a shade

Wall St, New York, Jan. 15.-STOCKS-
Opening prices of stocks today were but
slightly changed from last night. Gains
were the more numerous, but there were
a few small declines, including the copper
industrials. Dealings were a liberal
scale. The market was without any spec
iaI feature.
The floating supply of stock around the
opening level was soon cleaned up and
bids were advanced until all of the i'm
portant stocks were ruling substantial
fractions above yesterdays close. Profit
taking sales then began and most of the
rise was lost, though some of the minor
stocks continued in brisk demand. The

Three policemen are in charge of the

have come up within the last month were held back somewhat by the cold weather. but they are now ready to make a big growth. The beets that were up some time before the cold weather set in were not affected in the least and their growth has been rapid.
 The Salt river valley seems to be free from the chief drawback in the growing of sugar beets and that is the getting of a stand. Hardly a single field. if any. has failed to come up or has had to be planted a second time in order to get a good stand. Almost every seed planted has grown. This is more than most sugar beet cOun tries can say. and a country that can get the beets up without any trouble is sure to make a success of the sugar beet industry
