SOLOMON, Jan. 12. The George
Cryderman hotel at Solomon was
completely destroyed by fire about 2
O'Clock Monday morning. It was d
two-story building Of twenty-five
rooms and was one Of the first hotel
buildings In this part Of the state
For many years 1t was the only one
at Solomon and all the early settlers
in that part were compelled to spend
their first days in Western Kansas
there.
The fire was discovered about mid
night and was on the roof, having
been caused by a defective flue. Mr..
and Mrs. Cryderman and their two
children lived in the building and
there were several guests. Nearly all
af them had retired for the night but
all were able to escape with their
clothing and without accident.
A feature Of the fire was the refusal
Of SolomoA's recently purchased FIRE
engine to work. 1t Is operated by
gasoline and the battery wires were
found to be disconnected from the
Sparker when it was run out for
work. The old hand engine was used
by the department under the leader
ship Of Chief VIII Devices until the
now tangled contraption could be
coaxed to work.
1t was soon discovered that II

Across the road from it were Matt

The h tel building was owned by
Mr.. Cryderman, who bought 1t from
Tim Mahoney some years ago, The
total loss lis estimated at "a, 800 to

about $4,000. Mr.. Cryderman al.

Under the new plan everyone would
have to pay the tax. The bill has the
endorsement Of real estate men and

BEWARE or THE
COMETS TAIL
Professor Of Astronomy Expects to Be
Whisked OFF the Earth Next lime.

Professor of Astronomy Expects to Be
Whisked OFF the Earth Next June.
MACON, Missouri, November 90
Prof. J. Green Mackenzie, teacher of
! astronomy and sciences in the Atlanta
Macon County, School, has figured it
out that Halley's comet will sweep the
| earth with its tail on June IS.
He says that from 8 to o clock on
that date human life will be wiped out,
except those who arrange alright
chambers with means for artificial res
piration.
Snakes and other creeping things
which can stand noxious vapors may
live through it, but the higher order of
animals must find refuge now or perish
miserably Professor Mackenzie says:
"Eaeh day brings this luminous Wis
itor 100000 miles in closer relation
ship with us. By the last of December
it will be in plain view to the naked
eye, and the new year will be nshered
in under its weird glow.
mot only is our heavenly traveller
the most fascinating object astronom-
ers have had before their lenses for
many years, but there is a strong ele-
ment of danger in this tremendous ap-
partition which quiekens one s mag
ination.
"About clock in the afternoon
of June IS, 1910, the tail of the comet
win swing parallel to and across the
plane of the elliptic, and in the direct
path of the earth. This has never hap
pened before, unless it was in the days
of the plaques of Egypt, when Pharaoh
was tyrannizlng over the Israeites.
.For several hours the earth will be
enveloped or deluged by the gaseous
fold of the comet s tail, tail said to
be 00,000,000 miles in length Just
what percentage of cyanogen gas will
obtain throughout the earth during this
contact can not be accurately foretold.
Doubtless astronomers will be able to
determine the full extent of the danger
III time for people to prepare for it.
. Ii the percentage of gas is any way
commensurate with the size of the
comet, all oxygen breathing life will be
snuffed out, unless artificial means Of
respiration are provided during the
sweep of the tail across the earth Rep
tilia and some of the lower animals
which have the power of living in the
worst of atmospheres, may survive.
But l imagine that astronomers will
keep the world so fully advised of what
is ahead that adequate precautions will
be taken among the civilized nations of
| the earth, and that if found that the
danger is imminent, ambassadors viii
be sent to the heather lands to warn
the people there and arrange for means
of preservation. -
The astronomer at Macon, Prof.
John Cook, who owns a splendid OBJ
| sergatory, laughs at the idea of danger
from the big comet. He says the earth s
| atmosphere is so much denser that it
would be impossible for the comet Is tail
to affect the surface. 1t would be
| about the same as if one would try to
throw thin pine shaving TO the bot
tom OF well containing so feet of
| water.
We hope to make many most inter
| estIng and important observations dur
ing the comets stay with u.s. said
