LONDON CONFEDERATION.
Department Store Suffers a Loss of
$780, oo-Customer Escape
in Safety.

London. Dec. 21.-At least three
lives were lost and many persons were
seriously hurt in a fire which de-
stroyed the big drapery store of Ard
ing & Hobbs at Chaplain, south
western quarter of London.
The fire was due, it is believed, to
the breaking of an electric light bulb
among cellulOid articles.
The store, which covered an acre of
ground and had five floors and a hun
dred departments, was crowded with
Christmas shoppers. In little more
than an hour the building was a mass
of ruins. The damage is estimated at
S2,500,000
All the customers made their way
to the street in safety. The 800 en-
ployes followed them. The progress of
the flames, which was assisted by the
Christmas decorations and festoons,
was so rapid that sor.e~of the EN-
ployes were caught in the upper floors.
One girl fell from the second floor
and was killed. Two men then Jumped
and lost their lives.

BURLINGTON WILL PAY TAX
LONG DRAWN OUT DISPUTE Is
NOW AT AN END.
Western Union, c. 3. G. O., and State
Of Iowa Come To An Agreement
On Taxes From 1908 to Now.

Des Moines, Dec 21.-The c., B. &
Q. Railway company has agreed to pay
the taxes on the Western Union Tele-
graLh cctnpany's wires strung along
the Burlington tracks in Iowa, and the
injunction proceedings instituted by
the railway company in 1903 which
have prevented the collection of the
tax from the Burlington company will
be dismissed.
This was the result of a conference
held yesterday afternoon in the office
of Governor Carroll between officers
of the railway company, Attorney
James Hewitt, representing the West
ern Union, the members of the state
executive council and the attorney
general.
Secretary of State Hayward will at
once certify the assessments down to
the various counties in which it is
collectable, and payments will be made
at once by the Burlington.
The assessment on which the Bur
lington kicked was made in 1903 by
| Tie SCdIS. Az UlldI lIlllS 'UllG IdA was
charged up to the Burlington, but the
| latter claimed it did not own the West
ern Union lines and was therefore not
liable for the tax. An injunction was
issued preventing the state from certi-
flying the assessments down to the var
ious counties, and this injunction &C
ton has been pending ever since,
awaiting a settlement between the
Burlington and the Western Union as
to which corporation should pay the
tax.
1t was finally agreed that the rail
way company should pay the taxes and
the conference of yesterday and the
dismissal of tine injunction proceed
| ings Is the result.
1t is not known exactly what amount
will be brought in by the collection of
the tax, as tine rate of the various
counties is not known. The assess
ment valuation of the Western Union
property along the Burlington system
is $500 a mile, however, which brings
the total assessed valuation for the six
years UP to date TO $675,000.

Daily Helps to Health
and Happiness
By GEORGE F. BUTLER. A. M, M. D.

A mental emotion, indulgence
of the Imagination or mental
friction is as competent to i'm
pair the health as any physical
cause. In great many dis
eases recovery is retarded or
rendered impossible by mental
conditions. The condition Of
the mind has a great dea! to do
with both the cause and the
cure of many diseases. There 10
no greater predisposition to dis
ease than fear, which renders
the body negative ard di3ar~?s
the mind of ell reeic.ancc to
sickness. CheerfuInc7a is
great promoter of heath, and
yet many persons are from tenn
permanent and Inheritance NOR
bid and melancholy. The edu-
cation of an individu-i is insep-
arabic from his inheritance, and
always commences Ior9 before
he is born. Whenever parents
begin to realize this fact they
will be able to proven: many
of those calamities that now en-
tail untold misery. Coco health
depends far less on drugs
than on the correction Of bad
habits, he they of body or Of
mind. People often regard these
measures as ridiculousIy simple,
and in other cases are unwilling
to forego the self-denial and
take the trouble necessary to re-
covery. Many people think that,
when sick, it is only necessary
to consult a doctor, pay him a
fee, take some medicine, and
straiehtway be as though the
sickness had never occurred.
This Is foollshness.
