BREWERY is BURNED.
Hamm Company, St. Paul. Has Loss
of Hundred Thousand.

st. Paul, April 6.-Fire which origi'
mated in the bottling department of the
Hamm Brewing Company's plant, st.
Paul, practically destroyed the entire
bottling plant with equipment, of an
estimated value of about 100000, and
did damage to other parts of the brew
cry plant which at this time cannot
be estimated. The fire is still burning.
An employee about to enter the build
ing discovered smoke emerging from
second story window. An explosion,
the report of which could be heard for
blocks, wrecked the staircase which he
was about to ascend, throwing frag-
ments of it all about him. The cause
of the explosion is not known, but the
fire is ascribed to crossed electric
wires.
William H. Hamm, president of the
Hamm Brewing Company, estimated
his loss up to that time at 100000.
He said the machinery was valued at
100000 and the building which COW
ers an entire block, was worth a lit
tie more than 100000 The structure
is practically new, having been erected
seven years ago, and all of the machin-
cry and equipment is of the latest pat
term The building is two stories high
and has basement.
Tunnels which lead from the bot
thing house to all other departments
of the brewing plant were filled with
water, and it is feared that all of the
other Easements in the big institution
were flooded in this way, adding great
ly to the loss. Although the bottling
plant is burned freely and the entire
ST. Paul fire department was out none
of the other buildings were burned.
Over $50 men were employed in the
bottling house. These will be thrown
out of employment. Many of them
were on the scene assisting the fire.
men in fighting the flames.

ROADS IN FIGHT FOR MAIL.
Santa re Making Effort to Regain
Trans-Continenta Business.

Kansas City, April G. A fight be-
tween several big railroads for the
privilege of carrying transcontinental
mail centered here. The Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fee system, which is
attempting to increase it's transcon-
tinental business, changed the start
ing point of it's westbound early morn
ing mail train from the Union depot
to the Grand Avenue station, three
miles away.
AS result, when the Missouri Pa
cific fast mail from st. Louis reached
the accustomed point of transfer there
were no cars into which the west
bound mail could be placed.
1t is now said the Missouri Pacific
will rush westbound mail across town
in motor cars to the Grand Avenue
depot. The real cause for the Santa
Fes move is said to be the loss of
transcontinental mail out of Chicago.

new JERSEY DEMOCRATS dine
WILLIAM J. BRYAN THE LEADING
SPEAKER.
Governor Wilson, Senator MARITIME
and Others on the Pro-
gram.

Burlington, N. j., April 6.-The
auditorium was packed for the cele-
bration by the Democratic club of
Burlington county of the birthday OF
Thomas Jefferson. William J. Bryan,
Governor Wilson, United States Sen
ator James E. MARITIME and Frank S.
Katzenbach, Jr., were among the
speakers.
Colonel Bryan was the first speaker
and received an ovation. His subject
was ''Watchman, What of the Night?"
He said that this country led the
world in progress and that the Demo
cratic party led the country.
Colonel Bryan paid a tribute to
Governor Wilson and said that his
courageous fight and victory last fall
meant that New Jersey had joined the
great movement for progress.
James E. MARITIME, the new United
States senator from New Jersey, dur
ing a brief address, evoked great APP
plause when he said, slightly turning
toward Governor Wilson: Il will
come back here next year, if spared,
to plead the cause and candidacy of
fellow Jersey man for the presidency
of the United States"
Governor Wilson was given a hear
ty reception when he arose to speak
Speaking to the toast, 'The State
of New Jersey" he said that it was
against the theory of government by
superior people" that the great re-
action" had set in.
New Jersey had awakened to this"
he said, walked up to the reconstruc-
ton necessary to revive and recon
stitute our democracy and put our in
situations once more on the footing of
their original conception and inspira-
ton.
THE country had supposed New
Jersey devoted to the service of in
terests, of big business, irrespective
of the interests of humanity" he con-
tinued, and it was taken for granted
that she was too completely controlled
by the great combinations of capital
to follow the impulse of her people,
even if they should feel the impulse
of the change which is now every
where else abroad"

MRS. ARMOUR PARDONS THIEF
SECURITIES DISPOSED OF BY FUR
CHASE OF JEWELRY.
Recent Theft of sos, 900 in Stocks and
Bonds Traced to Ac-
quaintance.

Kansas City, April 6.-Stocks and
monds to the value of 100000 were
stolen recently from a safety deposit
box in this city owned by Mrs. S. B.
Armour, widow of the late Simeon B.
Armour of the Armour Packing COM
pany, and sold. All but a few thou
sand dollars has been restored to Mrs.
Armour and no prosecutions will fol
low. None of those who have acted
as advisers in the case for Mrs. Arm
our would make public the name of
the guilty person.
The theft came to light through pur-
chases made with money derived from
the sale of the securities. These pur
chases consisted of rare etchings, ORR
entail rugs, silverware, jewelry and
works of art. Goods costing more than
$4,000 were bought of one jewelry
store and were ordered sent to storage
by the purchaser. When Mrs. Armour
discovered her loss and her attorneys
had traced the stolen securities. the
goods were found still in storage
houses. They were sold for the benefit
of Mrs Armour.
The stolen securities were taken
from the safe deposit vault and were
negotiated through brokers in Kansas
City. They were sent by a negro
messenger to the brokers with a note
asking that they be sold. The brokers
who sold the securities believed the
money was being used by Mrs. Armour
for charities and that she possibly was
hiding her generosity in that way.
The thief, who is close to Mrs. Ar
mour, has confessed and been for
given. No prosecution will follow,
partly on account of Mrs. Armour
sympathizing with the guilty person
and also because of the advanced age
of Mrs. Armour. She is Is years old
Many of the stocks and bonds were
sold. Part of them have been recov.

3he strength of the spider and of the
materials it employs is something al
most incomprehensible when the size
Of tie insect and the thickness of it's

experiments have shown that a single

supported endwise a weight Of four

ing his thread at all we may be per-
fectly sure that he is not only in no
danger of falling, but that he could
carry seventy-three other spiders down
with him on his invisible rope.
Knowing this fact with reference to
q single thread, we need not be sur
