EXPLOSION AND FIRE.

Fire, following an explosion OF
mysterious origin, broke out simulta'
neously OF 6 o'clock yesterday evening
in the Cambria Hotel, one of the most
famous in southwest Virginia, about a
mile from Christiansburg, and in the ad,
joining building, the residence of c. A.
Campbell.
Before it could be gotten under con
troll it had practically destroyed the
hotel, the Campbell residence, a store
owned by Harvey E. Akers, and bar
Der shop, owned by E. S. Tate. The
Cambria Bank building, the Surcase
wholesale grocery building and: the
stores OF E. A. Myers and Charles
Walthall, were badly damaged. The
total loss will reach $4,000. The insur-
ance amounts to 81, 900.
A. G. Barnes, manager OF the hotel,

on the third floor of the building, and
was barely rescued when the flames
had cut off all escape. His condition is
critical.
The hotel which was a three-story
frame structure was almost filled with
guests but all escaped without injury.

WILL NOT MARRY HIS SISTER.

The Crown Prince OF Siam is adding
gray hairs to the head OF his royal
father, King Chulalongkorn, and has
set the country by the ears generally by
defying the traditions of a long ances-
trail line in refusing to marry his sister.
According to Rev. William G. Dodd,
Presbyterian missionary, who recent
arrived at San Francisco, all Siam is
agog over the princes announcement.
From time immemorial, the missionary
says, it has been the Siamese custom
for the crown prince to we'd his sister,
or if he has none, then half sister, the
daughter OF one OF his fathers nu-
merous wives. Tie present crown
prince has asserted his independence by
publicly declaring that he intends to
have but one wife, and that one OF his
own choosing.

versus James B. Allison, charged with
the murder OF Floyd McGhee on July
5, returned verdict OF murder in the
first degree at Asheville, N. c., Satur,

THE BRIBERY CHARGES.

Not,only Jake l.. Hamon. but ]. F.
McMurray was named as would-be
briber in the investigation of ofthe$30, 900,
900 Oklahoma Indian land deal before
the special congressional committee at
Muskogee, Okla, on Saturday. Nc
Murray is the holder of the contracts
with the Choctaw and Chickasaw In
dians, to promote which in Congress
Senator Thomas P. Gore charged ne
was offered bribe.
D. G. McCurtain, Choctaw Indian
and a delegate to Washington for his
tribe, charged that McMurray, in 1906
offered him bribe Of $50, 900 to with
draw opposition to the old tribal Nc
Curry contracts, which subsequently
we're disapproved by President Roose-
yelt.
Green McCurtain, chief of the 49,
600 Choctaws and venerable Indian
of G2 years with gray hair and brown
plump cheeks, then took the stand
and told the committee that one George
w. Scott, whom he believed acted in
the interest OF McMurray, had offered
him one-fourth OF the, profits" to be
realized from the land deal, provid ed
he induced the tribe to withdraw all
opposition to the deal. This offer re :
ferred to new contracts held by Nc
Murray, which are the cause of the
present investigation.
the amount OF the bribe mentioned
by D. C. McCurtain, who is a son of
the chief, is the same rs that which
Senator Gore alleges was offered him
on May 6 last by Jake Hamon to put
through the pending contracts, which,
according to Senator Gore, would re-
suit in the selling of 100000 acres OF
coal, asphalt and timber lands, owned
by the Indians, to New York syndi-
cate ona basis that would give McNlur-
ray and his associates an attorneys 8

A FALL OF A METEOR.

Accompanied by q noise as loud as
thu nder, large meteor fell in the
neignborhood OF Council Bluffs, Iowa,
yesterday afternoon, shaking the city
and causing intense excitement. Search
ing parties were attempting all the
afternoon to locate the point where the
meteror fell. Hundreds of people heard
the explosion and felt the shock, but
because the sun was shining at the
time very few saw the acrolite itself.
The meteor, which is described as very
large and travelling from northwest to
Southeast, passed high in the air and
disappeared behind the hills.

TAR AND FEATHER ACTORS,

Angry because itinerant vaudeville
actors used questionable language at
show given in the Brownlee school
house, at Wylandville, Pa, Friday
night, band of young farmers tarred
and feathered six Of the actors, ducked
them in creek and later drove them
from the village.
The vaudeville troope was billed for
two nights, the affair being advertised
as a clean performance with four
big acts" The schoolhouse was jam
med. An attempt by one of the
actors to produce "a laugh by an OBJ
sene joke drew protest from one OF
the young farmers. The protest went
unheeded.
A majority of the farmers led their
sweethearts from the building. Later
every young man in the neighborhood
rcappeared with buckets of tar and
some feathers.
They coated the six offending actors,
not sparing the two women OF the
troope. Following the tarring all SIX
we're dumped into creek and then
told to hasten out OF the village. They
walked eight miles to Washington,
Pa, after midnight, but were told there
to keep moving.

WHY AGAR COMPANY FAILED.
Packing Plant Made Big Profit But
Lacked Storage Facilities.

Des Moines. No: l6-That the Agar
Packing Company would have made
Il profit Of $241000 on an investment
of sl25. 900 in the last five years but
for a huge Unnecessary expense of
charges paid to Chicago cold storage
warehouses was shown by n report
made to the Greater Dcs Moines com
nittee by Ralph Bolton. This rcpor.
was prepared by chartered account
ants hired at the expense of the Greater
Des Moines committee The boosters
voted to mca- on Thursday with II. A.
Wheeler of the Union Trust Company,
of Chicago. the chief creditor OF the
Agar concern and confer with him re-
garding the rehabilitation of the plant.
The report showed also that the plant
did actually make $4,000 in FIVE years
and that the monster amounts paid out
to the Chicago cold storage houses
were expended because OF a lack OF
working capital. Pork and beef sent
to Chicago for storage during the cur
ing stage might as well have been
stored in the curing rooms of the plant
here, but that the concern had to raise
money on the storage warehouse re-
ceipts from the Chicago warehouss ,
concerns. They had to have that money
for working capital. And the expense
of freight both ways and OF storage
charges in Chicago thus made grea.

COMMERCE COMMISSION TIES UP
TARIFFS OF RIVER TO

LONG FIGHT BETWEEN ST
LOUIS AND KANSAS CITY
River Points Were Entitled to Rate
Lower Than to Mississippi, Wiki Le-
cal Rate Added-Roads Planned to

Washington. Nov. 16.-The attempt
Of the railroads operating between the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers TO re-
sumo advances in rates already con-
demned from Washington was thwart-
ed by the suspension of the order. an
nounced 10y the interstate commerce
commission today.
The suspension involves long
standing fight between ST. Louis and
Kansas City jobbing interests and af-
fects immense traffic from the east. The
ultimate decision will be Of vital i'm
portance to not only the immediate
volume OF business, but as Il precedent
as to rate making by basic points. The
commission ordered class rates from
the Mississippi 70 .'1e Missouri applic-
able on shipments moving from points
east of St. Louis to Kansas City and
beyond.
The principle involved IS that rates
from the east ID Kansas City should be
lower than the aggregate of rates from
the east to ST. Louis and ST. Louis to
Kansas City. The railroads appealed
to the courts, aud when the supreme
court of the United States sustained
the commission the railroads put into
effect decreased rates. With the near
expiration of q fixed period, the roads
gave notice Of contemplated restora- :
ton Of tht. rates which had been con-

LARGE CROPS A FACTOR IN
PRICES OF MEATS.
RUSH OF STOCK TO MARKET
ALSO STRONG FACTOR
Wilson Of the Opinion That Farmer !;
Foresaw Break in Prices and Hastei :
ed to Market Holdings in Preference
to Winter Feeding-Armour Says
Price Recessions Will Come Slowly.

Washington Nov. l6.--Full blns of
corn and oats have had much to do
with the fall in meat prices, in the
opinion of Secretary Wilson
The present break in meat prices
said Wilson. "is hardly q normal mar
ket development. While it is true we
should expect a downward trend of
prices because of the great crops of
corn and OATS we have had. the present
sudden drop an meats is too pronounc-
ed to be an effect from that cause al
together. I believe the drouth in the
southwest and consequent shortage and
high prices are responsible for the
m ovement for this season of farmers
rushing to the market with their stock.
They see it pays better to sell now
than to feed thru the winter. They
probably are also influenced by antici-
patton of a lower market
1T is too soon after election to con-
meet politics with a decline OF prices.
The country is full of corn and oats
and that is the reason fundamentally
for the lowering of prices
