MRS O'LEARY'S COW

THE Oldest odd Fellow having
passed away annually for the
- past ten years and there being
no more possibility of making
the public weep over the death of one
of that numerous progeny known in
newspaper annals as General WASH
ingtons Body Servants" the reporters
have turned their attention to less dis
tinguished personages.
News from Escanaba, Mich, is to
the effect that Mrs. Maggie O'Leary,
who for forty years lived alone in q
little farmhouse near that place and
who was the owner of a COW which
is credited with having caused the
Chicago fire in 1871, has gone to her
long reward. 1t will be recollected
that Mrs. O'Leary's COW won world
wide notoriety by kicking over a lamp
and thereby starting the conflagration
which has gone down into history as
the great Chicago fire."
Mrs. O'Leary was q modest woman,
who took no credit for the fact that
she was the one-time owner of the
COW that made Chicago famous. There
is legend to the effect that some of
the main streets of Boston and New
York grew up along paths made by
cows, but Mrs. O'Leary's COW is the
only member of the bovine race cred
tied by historians with the destruction
of great city. Thus are we again i'm
pressed with the gigantic possibilities
of small beginnings and the poten-
tialities of trivialities. Peace be to
her ashes.

A well-known florist has erected a
lighted bouquet in front of his place of

the Broadway trail by placing an cleo
trio diving girl atop of its roof. One
of these times somebody is going to
Harrisburg for the Great White
Way-but it is not nearly as way-ward.

Before Stock Taking
The Bargain Season

This is the month in which the
thrifty shopper scans the news
paper advertising closely.
1t Is the time just before stock
taking when merchants are anX-
ious to clean house.
1t is better business to sell
small lots of merchandise at
loss than to carry them over
another year.
Cash can be used-dead stocks
eat their heeads of.
So II is the custom of the
stores to make this month
clearance season.
Therefore the advertising col
umns of the Telegraph hold more
than their usual interest.

Fish dealers report a steadily increasing
demand from the Washington public for
the tile fish. which was discovered but
few weeks ago. The fish is found of
Gloucester. and is being widely adver-
tised by the Department of Commerce as
a pleasing edible.
The fish somewhat resembles the drum
fish. It weighs from ten to fifteen pounds
and has a remarkable flavor. Dealers are
keharging Is cents a pound for it. Whether
# will replace in popularity such common
fish as bass. trout and perch, dealers do
not predict
Meat Prices Advance.

prices advanced in the wholesale market.
but retail figures were practically un-
changed.
EGGS are now selling from 40 to so cents
a dozen, the highest this year. The quo
tation a week ago was 10 to a. Dealers
declare the commodity is becoming
scarcer every day because of the cool
and inclement weather. 1t is probable,
however. that the price will not go be-
yond the 50-cent figure before midwinter.
Butter prices remained firm during the
week, the best grades selling for from
IS to 20 cents a pounds and medium prod
ucts at IS cents. In the vegetable mar
kets, the only change OF Importance was
the advance in the price of lima beans.
which went from 30 cents a quart during

GREAT BEND, Kan, Nov. IL
Twelve persons are known to be dead
several are missing and scores injured
as results Of the tornado which swept
the southeast section of this city last
night. Property loss is placed at hall
a million.
The city light and water plants,
three big flour mills, the Santa Fe
depot and fifty residences were
wrecked. A thousand sheep that were
being fed in the stock pens were
killed.
The fire broke out in one of the
mills and soon spread to several dwell
lings adding to the havoc of the wind.
The tornado was accompanied by a
heavy rain which prevented the flames
from doing greater damage. Ply
sicians from neighboring towns are
aiding the injured.

INSPECTION
STARTED BY
FIRE CHIEF

"You had better look to your rub
bish piles and see that your flues are
ell o. X. and your stoves removed not
less than eighteen inches from the
wooden partitions"
So spoke Fire Chief Gattis this
morning. And the cause of the chiefs
remark is the starting out Of the boys
on their regular fall and winter tour
Of inspection of the residences and
business houses OF the city.
Members from each fire station
started out this morning on this in
spection trip and will comb the city in
the interests of safety first" as with
a fine tooth comb in the matter Of
hunting out and causing the removal
of all fire dangers. This inspection
will include an examination of all
wirings, a search for any gas leaks,
a search for accumulated rubbish
piles, an inspection of flues and fur
naces and in ascertaining If all wood
and coal stoves may be set the proper
distance-not less than eighteen
any and all board parti-
tions.
The annual inspection Of premises
began in 1912 and has been repeated
annually since. Chief Gattis states
that the present inspection is showing
that all errors reported at previous
hare been corrected and
states that this is one of the reasons
why Chickasha's fire losses have he
come SO light. The chief spoke ia
terms OF the manner in
which the residents of the city have
co-operated with the fire department
In the matter Of fire prevention
The present inspection, Chief Gattis
stated, will probably continue for sew
eral weeks, as every residence, every
business house, every factory. every
building of every kind in the city, viii
be thoroughly gone over and in
spected.
