DESTROYEDBYFIRE
BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT WAS
VALUED AT NEARLY
100000
Early Wednesday Morning Blaze Was
Discovered in Basement in Manual
Training Room-Cause Supposed to
Be Defective Wiring Discovered by
N. E. Hinch.

Cheney, Wash.-Fire, cause unknown,
discovered in the basement of the main
building of the state normal school in
this city Wednesday morning, spread
rapidly and by $3.50 o'clock the struc-
ture was to all practically destroyed.
The walls and tower were then standing,
but the interior of the building was
in ruins.
In a room in the third floor, Max
Miranda and J. w. Work, members of
the faculty, were asleep and when
aroused escape was cut off. Forced out
by the flames they jumped from the
window into rugs held by men on the
ground 60 feet below. Both men were
injured severely.
The fire spread with great rapidity
and such heat was developed that it is
feared the adjoining training school
building may also be destroyed. The
latter is smoking and window glass is
broken by the intense heat. The city
fire department has been pouring a
stream on this building and a call for
help has been telephoned to Spokane.
1t is doubted here, however, whether
aid can arrive in time to be of any
material service.
The cause of the fire has been thought
to be defective wiring, but this is sur
mise only as no chance for an investi-
cation has been had.
The blaze originated in the manual
training department in the basement
and was discovered by N. f. Hinch,
who was returning to his home late
from trip to Spangle.
The building with its equipment is
worth 100000 and the training school
building, a three-story brick, is worth
$4,000.

632 N. 5th ST., Terre Haute, Ind
MY little nephew, a boy OF four
years. had breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning I made strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After 1 had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and 1t did not leave scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week

Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin. with

who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
SO that no just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations of the strong
and the weak is that both are think.
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing that

heard. GIVE me that which is my
due, then I will pay you what owe.'

POPULAR SYMBOL OF VALUE
Young Man Evidently Was Lacking In
His Appreciation OF the coun-
try's Statesmen.

There is plenty of food for cynical
thoughts in the national capital, as Is
shown by the following incident which
happened on Washington street car:
A worldly young man, prone to crit
icise, was gazing at the advertise
ments which decorate the interior OF
the car. One advertised a new kind
of collar for men. The dome of the
capitol was represented encircled by
one of the collars, and on the SEN
ate and house wings of the build
ing were placards giving prices and
sizes. The placard on the senate end
of the capitol read, Quarter size,"
and that on the other end said, 1.-TWO
for quarter"
The worldly cynical young man
turned to his companion.

expresses my opinion of some of
these here congressmen"-J
