FIRE DESTROYED N. FOREST HOME

The three room house occupied by
w. e. Brown and wife and baby at
6O2 North Forest was practically des-
troyed by fire about thee o'clock Tues
morning. Some little furniture was
saved from burning but it is nearly
ruined. The house was owned by the
occupants father W. T. Brown who
lives at SO2 N. Santa F'e- He carried
$500 insurance which he considers
will go largely toward covering the
loss as parts of the house walls and
the floor can be used. w. E. Brown
who has been in the cement sidewalk
business will with his family live with
his father for time.
The fire was discovered by Mr0.
Brown who was wakeful on account
of the baby's sickness. 1t was
evidently started from a defective
flue as the roof nearest the chimney
fell in first. The alarm was sent 10
by VIM. Beamer whose house is but
ten feet north of the destroyed house.
When the fire wagon arrived the
Brown house was practically doomed
and Chief McClane feels that the de-
partment is fortunate in being able
to save the Beamer two story house
from even being scorched in view of
the wind blowing from the south.
Chief McClane is inclined to con.
slider North Forest something of
hoodoo to the fire department because
OF the number of runs he has had to
make Oh that street. The new nurse
was not In on the run as he cannot be
put actively into the service until
larger collar which has been ordered
shall arrive.

vocated for many of the aches and
pains OF life which frequently arise
from overweight or disordered
nerves 1t has been discovered that
the rose will cure a headache. Its
perfume acts as a medicine upon the
nerves. Its color-particularl If deep

Baby as Luggage.

The latest style of baby carriages
was seen In the Union depot recently.
1t is simple affair-the baby, board
and several straps. At first glance
the baby might be mistaken for a

an old fashioned shawl strap. but on
looking closer you see that on the
child's back board was placed. and
three stout straps bound the young
ster to it. A leather added to Ito

Never Drink Water.

In Lower California a large number
of the smaller desert mammals never
drink water, according to American
scientists who have recently visited
the peninsula. They live and thrive
on dry seeds and scraps of vegetation
in places where the heat and aridity
are excessive without ever touching
their lips to water, and 1t has even
been found impossible to teach some
of them to take water in captivity.

Next to requited attachment, one
Of the most convenient things young

exercise. he can mourn over his lost
love and be very happy in tender
twilight fashion.-Rudyard Kipling.

Tornado Ragged in Wisconsin

Chanute was much more fortunate
in the storm which struck here
Saturday afternoon than many
other towns in the middle West.
The gas pressure here was on the
whole satisfactory Saturday night
and Sunday whereas 1t was
very weak in Kansas City. The mini
mum temperature registered here
was SIS degrees accord ng to Chas,
Browns government thermometer
but in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa
several persons were frozen to death.
The storm in Wisconsin assumed
the tornado nature SO that at lanes
vile eight persons were killed out
right, others seriously injured and
million dollars damage done to
property.
The weather change in Oklahoma
developed into severe sandstone
at many places. At Oklahoma City
the sandstone Fl n the streets to
the extent that traffic was practically
suspended while lC ragged. The
storm throughout Missouri was fully
as severe as in Kansas. The worst
is evidently over time as the

and warmer though the prophecy
Tuesday is unsettled weather and
probably rain or snow.
