MISTRESS OF BIG MANSION

After nine years the most costly house in
America has been finally completed. and presid-
ing over 1t will be a petite young lady who has
won her way to this queenly position through
courtship which once threatened to upset a Sec
tion of Washington politics. The house is that
of Senator w. A. Clark of Montana and New
York. and is situated at the corner of Fifth ave.
nue. and Seventy-seventh street. Manhattan.
The house. when viewed from the exterior,
appears rather heavy and massive for the space
occupied. but, once within. one appreciates the
real harmony of 1t all. Each Of the nine stories
is massed with every conceivable adjunct of COM
fort and luxury; from top to bottom is a store Of
storied wealth and mechanical device unsur.

CAIRO, H., Feb. 19.-Who killed
Alexander Halliday, victim Of the
rioting here Thursday night?
Did he die instantly?
These are the points that the cor
oner's inquest is trying to settle in
the inquest over Hallidays body,
which began today.
Halliday was killed when deputy
sheriffs in the jail fired on mob
that marched to the Jail with the
avowed intention of lynching two
negroes accused of snatching
purses from white women on the
street. Sheriff Nellis was the first
witness. He told how he had
planned to go to Belleville, ILL.,, to
see the execution of Willis Clark, a
negro. A warning, which it was at
first thought was not well founded,
told him of possible trouble in
Cairo.
"A man told me-" he said, mot to
go to Belleville, as a mob intended
to take John Pratt and another
negro prisoner named Wilson from
the Jail and hang them"
He then told how he endeavOred
to secure deputies to protect the
jail. He could not find the kind of
men he wanted, he said. so he
swore in anyone who would serve.
There were a number of negroes
among the hastily secured volun-
teers.
Nells said he instructed his men

TWO KINDS of

EASTERN BUTTER SOLD UN,

There are two styles Of the
Hardwood brand Of butter, but
only one Hardwood price. Dur.
ing the winter, when the people
we're paying SO cents per pound
for what they supposed was Hazel
wood butter made in Spokane,
they were consuming butter made
in the east and supplied with the
HazeIwood label after 1t reached
this city.
At the office of the Hazelwood
company the information was
CLEANED by The Press that but Is
per cent of the butter consumed in
Spokane is made in this city, the
other S5 per cent coming from
the east. The Hardwood COM
pany turns out some 25 or 80
brands and can give the retailer
almost any brand wanted if he
will buy enough of that special
make But the Hardwood brand
is the priced label of the company
and people are led to believe they
are getting something of special
excellence when they secure this
label
The Hazelwood state brand is
made in Spokane and the Hazel
wood without the state brand is
shipped in from the east. The
label "Hazelwood" is alike on the
two packages, the only difference
being that the Spokane made but

Who for two years guarded the

ing, brass studded harness that
served him as an official coat of
arms hangs mournfully on nail
in the "Bumblebee" cigar store, a
favorite rendezvous for the rail-
readers near Boomers old post OF
duty, and Boomer is a martyred
canine.
HE SAMPLED A sTREETCAR
MANS CALF.
Perhaps he is more martyr to
the idle pastimes of some of his
alleged human friends than to the
cause of life-saving. He sank his
keen white teeth into the mellow
calf of a streetcar mans leg few
days ago, and after that the whole
affair was resolved into question
of Boomers" speedy execution or
the suspension of streetcar traffic
across the dangerous intersection,
so it is declared.
Streetcar conductors refused
more to flag at this crossing while
the ambitious dog reveled there in
his official dignity, and the dog
catchers from the humane society
soon had cast their nets over poor
old Boomers" ebony being and
hurried him off to the pound. His
real friends hurried thence to plead
his cause and offered much to ap.
pease the wrath of the law and to
spare him from the fatal shot, but
it was too late. Petitions for len
iency were out of season. Boomer
had committed a criminal offense
according to the laws of dogdom
and his doom had been sealed.
Hardly had his human comrades,
members of the Switchmen's union,
turned away disheartened than a
shot rang out from the pound ana
Boomer" had gone to the erring
CANNES unknown beyond.
RAlLRoADERs GRIEVE HIS
FATE.
Some of the striking switchmen
and the railroaders shed tears when
they heard of Boomers" fate, for
he was their comrade through sun
and storm, through thick and thin.
They blame some of the "rowdies"
who used to gather across the cor
ner and encourage the old dog to
nip at the shins of streetcar men
to satisfy an old grudge that lin
gered between them, they declare.
Boomer got to thinking that this
was a part of his daily duty, when
there were no teams or pedestrians
to warn away from the dangerous
crossing and approaching trains,
and thus he signed his wealth war
rant by sampling calf, and died
martyr to the pleasures of those
who were the cause of his act.
HOW "BOOMER" GOT AC-

switchmen and railroaders began

For three days they floated, half

/ Tom Kedells remarkable career.
1t was not long afterward that he
was on the steamer Idaho near the
close of navigation. Old Idaho was
hard tub" to steer. The night
after the start of the voyage was
dark and stormy and the foghorn
was kept believing out it's warn

but few men aboard, but it was
jolly crew. The next morning the
Idaho was foundered off Sand

CLUNG TO MAST IN FREEZING
STORM.
The steamer had struck a rock
in the storm and four-fifths of the
crew were drowned almost in
twinkling. Kedell and the second
mate, who was on watch, stood the
best chance of escape and when
the Northern King, Great North
ern boat moved along side the
wreck on the next afternoon, just
these two were found still alive.
Old Jack Frost had covered them
with coating of icy spray from
the foaming waves and they were
frozen fast to mast prOtruding
but a little way out of the water.
To this they had chung with might
and main till that peculiar numb
ness spread over them and they
forgot everything. Both were drift

Four hours later Tom was ask

warm cot with a steaming bowl of
hot broth in hand, what had be-
come of his new hat he had on his
head when he went up on the deck
of the Idaho, and Johnnie Young,
the second mate, was wondering
what had made his tobacco wet.
