STREAMS OF LAVA
FROM MOUNT ETNA
Thousands In Path Of Flood
Abandon Homes.

Catanfa, Sicily, March 26.-An off,
cial report on the volcanic disturb
ances In the Mount Etna district con-
firms the gravity of the situation, but
holds out hope that the worst is over.
Four streams of lava, pouring out
from as many craters, have united at
the foot of Mount Castellazzo and
formed great river of lava that is
bringing death and desolation to the
invaded districts. Plants, trees, whole
vineyards and orchards have been de-
stroyed by the consuming food. The
lava river has extended nine miles
from the source.
In the path of the advancing food
thousands of people abandoned their
homes. The roaring of Mount Etna
continues without interruption and a
rain of cinders fell for miles distant.
Several homes have already been de-
stroyed and 1t is feared that II the
flow does not cease soon the food will
enter Borrelo. Caravans OF peasants
carrying all their transportable pos
sessions are moving to places of
safety and present pathetic sight.
At many homes the molten mass has
entered the cisterns and caused de-
structive explosions.
During the last forty-eight hours
the emission of lava, 1t is estimated,
has amounted to 100000 cubic
yards.

SCORE OF GIRLS
PERISH IN FIRE
Trapped on Upper Floors Of
Burning Building.
CATASTROPHE AT CHICAGO

Victims Cut OF From Escape by the
Rapid Spread of the Flames Gather
at the Windows and Appeal for
Help, but Go Down With the Fall
ing Floors Before Rescuers Arrive.
One Young Woman Jumps to Street
and Sustans Fatal Injuries.
Chicago, March 26.-Twenty or
more lives, mostly those of young
girls, are believed to have been sacri-
feed in fire which destroyed one of
the l.. Fish Furniture company's
stores at 1906-19OS Wabash avenue.
Seven bodies have been recovered.
One of them, Emma Lichtenstein,
was killed In jumping from the sixth
or top floor window.
The deaths occurred on the fifth
and sixth floors. Employees of these
floors were cut off from escape by fire
which enveloped the building almost
instantaneously following the explo-
sion of several cans of benzine.
1t is said there were twenty-five en-
ployes on the fifth and sixth floors of
the building. While some of these
may have escaped in many quarters it
is believed that all are dead. 1t will
be many hours, If not days, before the
exact number can be ascertained.
Many girls were at work on the
sixth floor when the explosion occur
red. The spread of the flames
throughout the upper floors was al
most instantaneous and when the girls
rushed to the stairways they found
their escape cut off. They next
turned to the front of the building,
smashing the glass in the frames.
Horrified spectators in the street,
looking through the haze of flames,
smoke and spray of the water, could
see dimly the faces of the girls framed
in the windows above.
Girl PIunses From Window.
Then suddenly Emma Lichtenstein
stepped to the window ledge, her face
a picture of terror, and screamed for
help. Her shrieks came piercingly
clear above the turmoil below, which
suddenly turned to silence as the
young form poised and then sprang to
the street below.
She fell on the awning over the front
entrance to the store, where she lay
unconscious until DIR. William /. Kin
sey, creeping out on the canopy, lifted
her up. She was taken at once to st.
Luke's hospital, only a few blocks
away, but died soon afterward.
Soon after Miss Lichtenstein's des-
perate leap crash as if of floors fall
ing was heard and the faces at the
windows disappeared.
The financial loss is placed at $780,
600, equally divided between building
and stock
Simon Fish, a member of the furni-
ture company, while the blaze was at
its height, created a sensation by max
ing charges of negligence against the
firemen.
In bitter language he declared the
Aremen were slow in responding to
the alarm and tardy In raising ladders
to the upper stories. He protested
that firernen interfered with employees
who were attempting to make rescues.
and declared that he would prefer
charges against the fire department.

There's No Lie About This

Discussing the proposal of an
endowed newspaper, Mr.. Car
negie SAID that he had dismissed
the idea, as he thought no one
would care to read a subsidized
journal. He is correct. There
are many instances now of sub
sidized journals, and the thin
ness Of their subscription lists
and the feebleness of their inf1u-
ence is ample proof of what Mr..
Carnegie says.
The only kind of a subsidized
newspaper that can possibly win
is a newspaper subsidized by the
people with their patronage.
And the only kind of a news
paper that can win that sort of
subsidy is the newspaper that
recognizes it's mission, and. holds
sacred its duty as a public ser
want - untrammeled, unbiased
and without fear.

A Dose of Sour Grapes

The base ball game at Wins
low Sunday was a close one, and
if the Holbrook nine would have
been given a square deal, they
would have won. Up to the last
inning the game was 5 to 7 in
favor of HOlbrook. The Wins
low team was last to the bat,
and they changed the batters,
putting the same one who had
batted last in the last, or eighth
inning, to the bat. Then they
allowed two or three very rank
plays to go as fair. In plain
words, they cheated Holbrook
out of the game. e.-News.

Fear to Sell Booze to Young Men

Since the licenses of the Casino.
Midway and Palace saloons in
Phoenix were revoked by Judge
Kent, some of the bar tenders of
that city have become so ti1nid
that they will not sell liquor to
any person who cannot show
gray hairs above a face that
makes those gray hairs look nat
ural and not premature.
It's dangerous to sell liquor to
a minor in Phoenix. The saloon
lists realize that it is just as dis
astrOus to sell booze to a young
ster on the wrong side of 21, as
it will be if the Hamilton Owens
bill passes Congress or the coun-
ty goes for no license next May.
A report is going the rounds that
young men of 26 and 27 have
been turned down within the
last day or two by bar tenders,
who feared that they might be
minors. The suggestion has been
facetiously made that the bar
tenders establish a court and is
sue licenses to all who apply,
provided they can prove their
ages to be more than 21 years.

Sheepmen Have Not
Been So Unfortunate

James Scott, who has just
completed the shearing of his
sheep, which were wintered on
the desert near the foothills east
of town, reports that his bands
are crossing the river at the pres
ent time. One of the things for
which Mr.. Scott has to be thank
full for is the condition in which
he found his animals. The i'm
preston has gained some head
way that the sheep were in very
poor condition. This, Mr.. Scott
says, is not true to a very great
extent with his bands. He re-
ports to the effect that the amin
ais are in much better condition
than he expected, and that they
are going into the hills in good
condition. The reports to the
effect that the northern part of
the territory has been visited
with rains also came as good
news to the sheepmen who are
taking their herds in that direc-
ton. The result of the clipping
has also developed that the aver
age this year is up to the stand
ard of recent years. = Phoenix

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock yards,
April 4, 1910. Buyers dominat-
ed the cattle market last week
up to Wednesday, and succeeded
in reducing prices 20 to SO cents.
The bear campaign was run on
the basis of liberal cattle receipts
but it became evident Thursday
that the totalfo the week would
fall short o f any recent week,
and some frmness was injected
into the situation the last days
of the week, leaving it in good
shape for the opening this week.
Predictions OF meagre receipts
at the markets today were veri-
fed, the supply here 1000 head,
a II d moderate elsewhere. A
&C OOd many contract cattle
bought for delivery April 1st
came in last week, but this in
huence is absent to- day, and
prospects favor light receipts
balance of this week. Nobody
believed the market was very
badly hurt at any time last week,
and it was always in good posi-
tion for Il rapid recovery. The
slim receipts today put matters
back into the hands of sellers,
and prices are 10 to 25 higher
mostly 10 to Is up. Nothing
choice is here today, but prime
steers are quotable at $S:15 to
to $40 today, bulk of steers
selling at $500 to $3.50, very
few steers for less than $6.4O,
COWS $4.25 to $3.50, heifers
$500 to 800, bulls - 25 to
$6.15, calves $3.50 0 rs Is.
A good many helfers are said to
be on feed in Nebraska, and
some good strings will be run to
market this week. Country
buyers lost some of their enthus-
lasm last week also, and prices
closed lower, but the market is
firm today stockers at $40 to
$6.25, feeders $5.75 to 6.6O.
There was a small increase in
the hog supply last week over
previous weeks in the last month
and the market drifted along in
rut, without much net change
for the week. Supply today is
5000 head, market opened
strong but the close was week
to five lower, top $1O.75. bulk

Much Senatorial Timber

The following is taken from
the Arizona (Phoenix) Democrat,
and illustrates that as the wealth
er warns up in the Capital City.
it also warns up their political
instincts.
Prescott can indeed furnish an
excellent assortment of SENATOR'S;
that is to say, men qualified for
that or any other honor, but the
Democrat errS in that Mr.. Muir
phv will be the only 'receptive"
candidate on the Republican
side. On the contrary, there are
several Republicans IN the frame
of mind attributed to the late
Mr. Barkis. Among the willing
is Hon R. E Morrison, who has
not formally authorized the press
to deny his candidacy:
"Yavapai has the most prolific
crop of senatorial candidates of
anv county in the territory"
stated a gentleman who arrived
from the north.
He was asked to give a list of
the men who had political bees
= buzzing in their bonnets, but he
stated it would be much easier
to write a list of the prominent
men not out for the office, than
to compile a directory of those
who were.
Among the ranks OF the demo
cratic brethren, he stated, Reese
M. Ling, Henry Ashurst, Judge
]. ]. Hawkins, Mayor Morris
Goldwater and r. n. Fredericks
were being mentioned, and al of
them have signihed their will
ingness to accept the senatorial
toga were it thrust upon them.
Ashurst has been mentioned
prominently for the lower house
OF congress, but maintains the
position he has held from the
first, namely, that he is after the
senatorship and will not con-
slider the lower house
Mayor Goldwater and r n
Fredericks, the banker, are very
often mentioned, while friends of
Reese NJ Ling say it's all over
except the shouting.
In the republican ranks things
are a great deal quieter, and the
name of Frank NJ. Murphy is
about the only one mentioned.
The lack of interest IN the repub-
lican party is said to be due to
the very slight chances of a re-
publican securing the plum

Railroads Move For Safety Appliances
Laws passed bv legislatures of
various states of the Northwest
last year have forced the Great
