She can not change the shape,
which is fortunate, for this would

is ever satisfied with her nose. But
she can put little powder on the end
and hide the pinkish hue or cover the
shiny spot
She could, OF course, so to the root

DISASTROUS FIRE SWEEPING
CLEARWATER

The following special by long dis.

Tribune: ;.
Clearwater, June ga disastrous
fire which has been raging here since
1870 o'clock this morning is still be-
yond the control of the entire popula-
ton of the city, which has turned out
to combat the flames. The fire has
already swept away the immense
properties of ]. J. Mendenhall, in
Guiding the big lumber yard, with mil
lions of feet of lumber, the veneer
works, packing house and smaller
buildings and dry kilns.
In the immediate vicinity of the
flames there are other buildings which
at this time are believed to be doom
ed. Among these is the West Coast
Packing house.
The loss, roughly estimated at this
time, will amount to nearly 5000, 900,
and reports from the scene of the fire
which is directly in the retail bust.
ness section of the city, indicate that
1t will mount much higher unless the
flames are under control shortly.
The southbound train on the At
lantic Coast Line arrived after the fire
was well under way. The packing
house was so close to the track that
the train was unable to pass at first,
but finally tried fast run almost
through the flames and was badly
scorched.
At $3.50 homes of J. d. Fogg, B. M.
Carruthers and H. Kilgore were re-
ported burning, with other smaller
dwellings in the vicinity in immediate
danger.
The entire population has turned
out, and everyone is fighting desper-
ately to prevent spread of the fire.
Had the wind been in another direc-
tion it is believed certain that the en-
tire city would have been swept away.
The origin of the fire is not known at
this time. 1t was reported that the
night Waterman had been burned,
but this cannot be verified.

VILLA DETERMINED TO CAP.
TuRE MEXICO CITY
',fBy Associated Press.l


Washington, June 23.-The media
ton outlook is now considered more
hopeful. This is because it now ap-
pears probable that Huerta's dele
gates will confer with Carranza. 1t
also seemed possible that the person
mel of the constitutionalist delegation
would be announced before night.
The differences between Villa and
Carranza, however, may prove a men
ace to the success of the plans, as
Villa is reported to be determined to
capture Mexico City.
An arimstice is not contemplated
in the meeting of the Carranza and
Huerta delegations at Niagara Falls
Neither will try to halt hostilities I'M
til there is some definite decision on
the provisional government. If Car
rama sends delegates to Niagara
Falls they will confer with Huerta's
mission alone.
The formal mediation proceedings
will be confined entirely to interna
tional phases, and it is probable that
the constitutionalists will be admitted
TO signing the final protocol.

The Ocala reading club held their
last meeting of the year Tuesday aft

pleting their study of Belgium, which
has proved of unusual interest to the

this course were especially good and
the study of this country, of which
most of the members knew only little,
has proven of much benefit.
Next fall the club will take up a
course on music and art, and will
start the new year early in October.
