The "key of death" is apparently a
large key which Is shown among the
weapons at the arsenal at Venice. 1t
was invented by Tibaldo, who, disap-
pointed in love, designed this instru-
ment for the destruction of his rival.
The key is so constructed that the
handle may be turned around, reveal
ing small spring, which being press
ed very fine needle is driven with
considerable force from the other end.
This needle is so very fine that the
flesh closes over the wound immediate
ly, leaving no mark, but the death OF
the victim is almost instantaneous.

other hotels. For year he had charge

Mr.. and Mrs. D. w. Ranlet, one sister,
Miss Ressye Ranlet, and one brother,
Dan Ranlet, of Flushing, L. |.
Mr. Ranlet's business standing is in
dicated by the following excerpts from
letters received since his death.
The following is from r. c. McQuilen.

grateful than words can express.

OTHER LOSSES.

The families living on the third and
fourth floors lost everything they had.
So many of them are dead tits impossible
to get an accurate estimate OF their
property losses.
George Severance, one of the victims,
who was badly burned, lost $3.50 in
money, as much more in clothing and
three watches. He carried an accident
policy and his goods were also insured.
1t was learned Monday that Stephen
Cushman carried life insurance policy
for $500, which was written by B. c.
Sheldon, proprietor of the Cottage
Hotel. The policy was issued about
two years ago when Cushman was at
work for A. L. Bragg on the school
house at Barton and expired Nov. l, just
two days after his death.

Chamberlin Post, G. A. R. lost every

Gen John A. Logan. They were insured
for 500. but this will not cover the loss.

Occupants and Losses.

ing people,
In the basement:-C E. Stoliker and
son, restaurant, goods damaged by wa
ter to extent of $1,000, no insurance;
goods removed to house.
John Bernier barber; loss 5000, insur-
ance $3.50; expects to continue business
in his present quarters.
Carl M. Howe's loss on furniture and
personal effects in their rooms will pro-
baby reach $500. The goods were in
sured but as Mr. and Mrs. Howe had
moved into the block only three days be-
fore the fire, the policy had not been
transferred The loss in Mr. Howe's
market will be nearly covered by insur-
ance of $500 and it is expected that he
will resume business in the same place
the last of this week.
=, On THE FIRST FLOOR.
The Citizens Savings Bank and Trust
Company, the owners of the block, OF
course are the heaviest losers but the di-
rectors feel that it is practically covered
by insurance of 100000 on the block.
The contents of the big vault were
not damaged in any way. The
officers of the bank are conducting
the banks business at the Gas company's
office on Railroad street until they can
get their rooms in condition which they
expect to do within a week or ten days.
The walls of the block stapd apparently
as solid as the day they were built and
the bank will construct permanent root
at once and begin rebuilding the block.
The stock of James Richie, dry
goods merchant, suffered loss of about
| SIS, 900 and his insurance is only for
$8,200 For the present he is located in
| the PRESBYTERIAN church on Eastern Az
enue but if it is possible he will reopen his
store in the block when his stock is
ready tor disposal. One sad feature of
Mr.. Ritchie's loss is about 81 900 worth
of dress goods that had been engaged for
delivery on Saturday and were in the
store at the time of the fire.
Lurchin and Lurchin, jewelers., suffered
loss of about 81 500 and had $4,000
insurance. They have transferred their
business to the gas Office for the present

of the fire unchanged.

Gen. Sheridan Council, X. of c. lost
nearly $1,000. They carried insurance
of $500 but the policy had not been
transferred since they moved into their

paraphernalia. They have rented room
in the Caldbeck block for the present.

OrENcHING THE FLAMES.

AS soon as it was found that every per-
son alive had been removed from the
building the firemen gave their undivided
attention to extingulshing the blaze. A
large river of water was poured on II
from every point of vantage but IT ate us
way through everything down to the
first story where after hours OF struggle
it was quenched. The wind was from
the north and this probably saved the
fire from eating its way through the BUS
mess blocks along the whole side OF the
street

Kooskia will be noted not alone for
her beauty but for her industrial life
and pay rolls. The last obstacle
which has stood in the way of the
erection Of a big paper mill at that
point has been removed, the patent for
the Indian grounds upon which it is
desired to erect the buildings for the
plant has been secured and construc-
ton work will begin soon.
Over 81, 100000 will be put in the
business and before We say 1911 one
the biggest paper mills in the world
will be utilizing the timber tributary
to the Middle Fork in manufacture of
print paper. The men who are back
ing this project are many of means,
men who are familiar with the business
and have made fortunes in Wisconsin
and Michigan from turning forests in
to paper. Within the next two years
much money will be paid out in con-
struction of the plant and when COM
pleted there will be a monthly pay

There is every reason in the world
for believing the present prosperous
little village of Kooskia which nestles
peacefully at the confluence of the
Middle Fork and the Clearwater will
awaken one of these fine days to find
itself a lively little city, filled with
life, hustle and business. Where now
the village cows Craze in peace and
plenty will be streets crowded with
traffic and the smoke from surround
ing Indian tepees will be supplanted
belching black volumes from tall
stacks.
There is no more beautiful spot on
the Clearwater than Kooskia, how
many of us when passing over the
railroad line in the spring on our way
to Sites, with the thought of the
twenty-mile dobe ride to Grangeville,
have left with regret this beautiful
little village clothed in early spring
green and blossoms.
The time is near at hand when
