DISASTROUS FIRE
AT ELDORADO
N. H. Cruce Burned to Death. Five
Business Houses DESTROYED.

N. H. Cruce Burned to Death. Fiv,
Business Houses Destroyed.
Eldrrado Sun
One of the most disastrous fires in
the history of ElDorado occurred
Friday morning at $3.50 at which time
the New Cruce Block, and four other
business houses all in one of the
principal blocks of the city, were
consumed in the terrible holocaust.
The fire, the origin of which cannot
be accounted for, was first discover
ed at about $40 a. m. in the north
room of the New Cruce block, for
merly occupied by the Lyric theater,
and had it not been that the nozzles
on the hose had been hidden by some
miscreant, it is believed that the
flames dould have been quenched;
but when the nozzles were found
some twenty minutes later, the fire
had made such progress that it was
found impossible to stop it; and had
it not been for the heroic efforts of
the fire boys, the whole block on the
east side of North Main street would
undoubtedly been destroyed. In the
burnt zone, the building occupied by
the Bank of Ell Dorado, was the only
one that offered any resistance to the
raging and devouring flames. This
building had been built with an en-
deavor to make it fire proof and the
only damage it sustained was in the
rear rooms upstairs.
The most pathetic feature of the
terrible disaster was the burning of
Cruce, a brother of N. H.
Cruce an old and we'll known resi-
dent of this place. He was cripple
and last evening his condition from
4 temporary illness was such that he
had to be carried to his room which
was in the extreme rear of the New
Cruce block, upstairs. Whether he
was aware of the fire and made an
effort to escape will never be known.
frantic efforts We're made to effect {
lis recue, but the heat was so intense ;
hat nothing could be done. The
body of the unfortunate man, burned |
md charred into an unrecognizable |
mass with limbs gone, was extricated

President Taft, the head of the
Republican party, has knocked sides
and bottom out of the Republican
press argument that the high tariff
has brought prosperity to the farm
ers. Taft has just issued statement
that the high cost of living will be
materially reduced by the bumper
crops. That statement says the
farmers bumper crop will reduce
prices of all food products. If big
crops will reduce the price, poor
crops will and did raise the price
of food stuff and the high tariff had
nothing to do with it. On the other
hand, Mr.. Farmer, how about the
manufactured necessities you are go
ing to buy? The high tariff will
keep those prices up to where they
have been. The bumper crop will
reduce the price Of yonr products,
but the high tariff will not reduce
the price of your clothing, shoes and
the implements you buy. There is
no high tariff to keep up the price Of
your corn, wheat flax and other
products. The Republican paru's
high tariff prosperity win not look
good to the farmer now.-Nevada

can snare IN the rewards offered by
the state, as aid in permanent road
building, as well as offer an induce
ment to people that have been use
to good public improvements to settle
in our midst.
Do you know that Missouri stands
third of all the states in the Union in
permanent road building at the pres
ent time and offers to pay half of all
permanent roads built in the state.
But this does not apply to counties
under township organization, as the
supreme court has decided that where
townships are organized as munich
palities that no further organization
Of road districts are permissible, as
the people already have all the ex-
pense they can carry. As a result
practically all the progress, that
makes Missouri third, is being done
in counties under county organization.
The reason that we stand third in
permanent road building is not that
we are making any greater strides
than other states but that practically
eli the states east Of rs have built
their permanent roads and are enjoy.

Sporting Language of France

The awakening of France has its
comic side. The demand for France,
the French and nothing but the French
has recently manifested itself in a
protest against the use OF English
words in sporting circles. Let Us take
advantage OF our magnificent patriotic
revival" runs the appeal, and re-
move this alien paragon from our yo-
cabulary. The young generation talks
of nothing but lie rowing, lie football,
le wonderland, lie cross-country, les
uppercuts. Unfortunately for this de-
sire sport is so mysterious a thing
that the French into which these
phrases might be translated would be
almost unintelligible. Feather
weights and fiyweights" are under
stood: but il would be very diff
ferent matter with "poids-coqs" and
poids-mouches. Consequently the few
French sporting reporters who abturc
the English word put terrible strain
on the French language. and France
is really against them. France VIII,
indeed, be French, but in the matter
of sport she will out-English the Eng
lish, and no amount OF patriotic re-
vivalism will kill the English sport
ing phrase.-Westminst Gazette.

would find new rallying point which
would be very likely TO attract con-
siderable southern support: and we
should see fresh alignment OF the
