One Dead; Six Seriously Hurt-B Burn
cd Area One and One-Half Miles
Long and Half Mile Wide.

Fort Worth. Tex.-Within the brief
space of three hours Saturday afternoon
n of the fairest sections of Fort Worth
residence district was laid waste by fire,
one life was lost, six persons were seri-
ously injured, a property loss of approx
imately 81, 0 600 inflicted and about
500 families rendered homeless.
The fire started in a barn on the cor
ner of May and Tucker streets, on the
south side, and famed by a gale, which
at the time reached a velocity of forty
miles an hour, swept northeast to the
| Texas & Pacific railroad and east to the
Santa Fe tracks. The burned area is
approximately one and a half miles long
and half a mile wide.
Three hundred and nine residences
were completely destroyed, four lumber
manufacturing plants, the Texas & Pa
cific car shops, the Sawyer electrical!
manufacturing plant and five large ware
houses, in addition to three churches ane
one sanitarium, were the business con
Germs of Importance destroyed.
The extreme dryness of the building
after a drouth and a high wind rendered
all efforts by the combined fire depart
ments of Fort Worth and Dallas to chec|
the fire u%navailing, and only the ope1
space about the Texas 4 Pacific track
saved the business district from destru'

IT WAS NOT HER BACK.
Woman Had No Idea Of Being Proxy
for Medical Treatment.

A missionary, discoursing upon
India. told of a woman who had come
to her complaining Of a very sore
back and desired that she pray for Its
cure. This Mrs. Jackson did, but the
m again appeared before her and
declared that the back was still in q
bad condition. Mrs. Jackson advised
the use of an application of iodine.
and brought out a bottle of the drug
to apply upon the afflicted part of the
woman's anatomy. But she regarded
the bottle suspiciously and acted as
though it would hurt her were she to
use it. To allay her fears upon this
score Mrs. Jackson applied some OF
the drug to her own finger and showed
her that it would not burn, and that
she had better allow her to put some
of 1t upon her back.
But" said the woman, ut would
do no good"
How so?" inquired Mrs. Jackson,
alphabetically. .

RoosEvELTFEL IN The SEA
Great Wave Swept Him From Small
Boat-Accident of tho Azores.

Gibraltar.-Theodor Roosevelt was
in serious danger Tuesday afternoon OFT
Ponta del Gado, in the Azores. A great
wave swept him into the sea from a small
boat in which he was returning from a
visit to that city. He might have lost
his life had not two brawny sailors
caught him when another wav pitched
him toward the side of the Hamburg.
Mr.. Roosevelt's patriotism placed him
in danger. He had been visiting the
American consul at Ponta del Gado, and
as the small boat neared the side Of the
liner on the return trip the band struck
up "The Star Spangled Banner"
The former president rose and barred
his head in respect for the anthem. Two
sailors held him, for the sea was run
ming high and choppy. As the national
hymn ended the boat was pitching be
side the Hamburg, and Mr.. Roosevelt
made a flying leap for the rope ladder
that dangled from the side of the vessel
Just then the big wave tossed the boat
threw him from his balance and he wen
into the sea. Two seamen who wer'
hanging to that grabbed his arms ant
held him until ha got a grip on the lad
der and clambered up.

De SAGAN HEIR IS EXPECTED
Princess Anna Will Hold Whip Over
Former Husband.

Paris.-A bomb shell that will %sl,atter
all the financial hopes OF Count Bonn de
Castellane is contained in the news that
the Princess de Sagan expects the ar
rival of a new heir to the De Sagan title
and the Gould millions some time in
June or July.
The arrival of a De Sagan heir will
give the Princess Anna the whip hand
over Count Boni and force him to dcslst
from the campaign of unpleasant lrrita'
ton he has 50 persistently carried on
since his divorced wife's marriage to De
Sagan. Count Boni really has a true at
lection for his children as deep as his
hatred for De Sagan.
By the terms of her fathers Will,
Princess Anna was permitted to leave
her fortune to any child or children she
might have.
This places her in the position of be-
ing able to hold Count Boni's chlldren,s
| future inheritance and welfare over his
head to whip him into a more reason
| able and less warlike frame of mind, TO-
should the persistent efforts of Coun
Boni estrange the children from thel
mother and embitter them against u
Sagan, it is in Princess Annals power t
cut off the De Castellane children &c
the benefit of the De Sagan heir.

SISTERS TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.

How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee aend is
an interesting tale:
II was a coffee fend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. l Knocked at Postum and
would have non of it.
zone day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what It was. l noticed the richness OF
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
[ was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"she kept the secret and kept Civ.
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
| grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks n
a clearness to my eyes. then she told
me of the health-giving, , nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place Of my morning coffee.
From that time l became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. l will not try to tell it, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow
err to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's a Reason.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, The Road to MELVILLE"
Ever read the above letter: 4 NO."
one appears from time to time. they
are genuine, true, and full o. h'nhau

AUTO COMPLETELY CRUSHED
Gets TANNED Between Cars-Three
May Die.

New York.-Crushed between two
trolley cars at Lee avenue and Wilson
street, Williamsburg, a touring automo-
bile was ground down to its steel frame
work and its three occupants, Mr.. and
Mrs. Clarence Veit and their 10-year-old
son, Clarence, badly hurt. For a quar-
ter of an hour, until they were pried
out of the ruins, it looked as though a
triple tragedy had occurred. The crash
was due to the attempt Of the automo.
bile to cross between an eastbound and
a w~estbound car.
When the crash came the woodwork
of the motor went to splinters and the
sides and windows of the trolley cars
were broken. The eighty passengers in
the two trolley cars were tumbled about
amid screaming from the women and
wells of the men. When rescuers went
to the aid of the Vets they were not to
DO seen. They were laying in the street
beneath the ruins of the car. When the
wreckage was cleared away Mrs. Welt
and the boy were found to be badly cut
and had possibly internal injuries.

MILITARY PRISON BURNS.
Prisoners Were All Rescued Without
Single Escape.

Leavenworth, HANS, March 3l.--The
military prison at Fort Leavenworth was
destroyed by fire late tonight. The
prisoners were removed from the cell
house under a heavy guard Of United
States troops and confined in a stockade.
None of the prisoners decamped, so
far as a hasty resume of the situation
aftermidnight showed, but this may not
be definitely known until daylight.
Owing to the low water pressure, the
fire department was almost useless. The
fire was fought by the soldiers OF the
fort. who were ordered out of their
quarters. and those who were on leave
in the city were at once called back to
the fort.
Much excitement attended the removal
of the prisoners, many of whom were
desperate characters. 1t was feared they
would make an organized break for
safety.
The fire broke out at 10 o'clock in Che
tailor shop and soon it was seen that
the building was doomed. A great cry
at once broke out in the prison, the con
victs fearing they would be burned tt
death. They battered on the doors Of
their cells as the light of the fire
streamed in through the windows. Many
screamed in terror as the authorities fo1
the moment refused to remove them.

JOKER COSTS $45, 100000.
Size of Tobacco Packages Were Not
Restored After War.

Washington, D. C.-What is designat-
ed as a joker that has cost the consum'
ers of tobacco in this country nearly
$45, OOO, 900 has been discovered in the
existing revenue laws of the United
States by Representative Dawson OF
Iowa, who at once introduced a bill to
correct the error.
Under the Dingley tariff law, the two
ounce packages of tobacco sell to the
consumer at S cents and the four-ounce
packages for 10 cents. In 1898, a war
revenue tax of 6 cents a pound addl.
tional was levied on tobacco. At the
same time, in order to serve the con-
venience of the trade, authorization was
given for the reduction of the sizes of
packages from two, three and four
ounces to 1873, ~ and 1-3 ounces,
thus enabling the smoker to procure a
scent and a 1O-cent package of tobacco
sat the store"
In due time the war revenue tax was
repealed. Somebody forgot, Mr.. Daw.
son believes, to restore the packages of
tobacco to the original sizes, and hence,
ever since 1902, the u of tobacco
has been paying the equivalent of the
war revenue tax to the manufacturers OF
tobacco.

INTERNAL REVENUE REPORT
Illicit Stills springing Up Like Mush-
rooms in Dry States.

Washington.-Offcials of the internal
revenue bureau of the treasury depart.
ment are of the opinion that the temper.
ance movement, which has taken such
strong hold of certain sections of the
country, particularly in the South, has
resulted in increasing the number of VIC
lations of internal revenue laws in the
distillation of illicit whisky.
The records up to the first of last year
did not show any very marked increase
in the number of illicit distilleries de.
stroyed or in the number of arrests
made, but recent reports indicate that
in many Southern States, and especially
in Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina,
there has been greater activity displayed
among mountain men, who have always
been troublesome to the revenue agents,
than in many years.
This is accounted for by the fact that
the legislatures of these three States
have enacted laws prohibiting distillers
from operating within their borders
Very many of the legitimate distilleries
have moved their plants to Florida and
other border States, where the inhibition
does not exist.
The fact that whisky is more diff
cult to obtain in a legitimate way has
greatly increased the profits of illicit dis
tilling, with the result that the activities
of the internal revenue bureau at thi
time are largely directed toward TIN
mountain sections of these three States
