DANCING MONDAY NIGHT

Dancing Monday evening with mus
fc by the Singing McEnelly orchestra
is the attraction which Prof. Guilty
offers at the Colonias ball room. 1t is
sure to bring together a large crowd
of the young people Of the city who
like the McEnelly music, and there is
sure to be very pleasant evening.
The McEnellys are unique in their
manner Of playing and singing, have
all of the latest music, and introduce
many novelties during the course of an
evening. Some part at least Of every
lance number is sung, and sung with
wing that makes your feet go around
whether you want them to or not.

With that pushed the raving beast,
whom short half hour before a.

from the platform Of her throne into

inner chambers of the temple until we
stood within the central court, a great
circular space paved with transpar-
ent marble Of exquisite Wilderness. Be
fore us rose a golden temple wrought
In the most wondrous and fanciful de-
signs,a inlaid with diamond, ruby, sap
phire, turquoise, emerald and the
thousand nameless gems Of Mars,
which far transcend in loneliness and
purity Of ray the most priceless stones
Of earth. a

us toward the entrance to a tunnel,
which opened In the courtyard beside
the temple.

ing we heard deep toned roar burst
from the temple Of Issus, which we
had but just quilted, and then red
man, Dior Kantas, padwar Of the
fifth utan, broke from nearby gate,
crying to us to return.
'The blacks have fired the temple, y
he cried. I'm thousand places It is
burning now. Haste to the outer gar

AS he spoke we saw smoke pouring
from a dozen windows looking ont
upon the courtyard Of the temple OF

minaret Of Issus hung an ever growing
pail Of smoke.

Carthoris, and without waiting for my
reply he dashed down into the tunnel
at our feet.

half dozen tiers of galleries until at
last he led me along level floor at the
end OF which discerned a lighted
chamber.
Massive bars blocked our further
progress, but beyond saw her-my in

Ten Known Dead, Twenty
Missing in Chicago Fire;
Homeless Thousands Suffer

Chicago, ILL.,, Feb. 3.-Handicapped
by the coldest weather of the winter,
workmen to-day searched for bodies
in the ice-covered ruins which marked
the site of the West Side tenement
house wrecked by an explosion early
yesterday. OF the seventy-two per-
sons known to have been in the build
ing at the time of the explosion, pre-
sumably caused by leaking gas, ten
were known to be dead and twenty
were missing to-day Seven of the
bodies recovered had been positively
identified and the others were believed
to be those of Henry Spitzley, 45 years
old, and his two nephews, Walter and
George Spitzley, both young boys.
Thirty hours after the explosion the
rescuing workers abandoned hope that
additional persons might yet be alive.
Throughout the night searchlights
played on the ruins and ambulances
were kept in waiting. AS rapidly as
one exhausted shift of rescue workers
stepped from the wreckage fresh
group. armed with shoNels, picks and
axes, jumped into the vacated places.
Much suffering was reported among
the two thousand tenement dwellers
whose homes within a radius of sew
eral blocks of the explosion were shat
tered by the force of the blast Num-
bers of funds were established by indi-
viduals and organizations to distribute
relief to the homeless sufferers. whose
want was accentuated by the low tenn
perature.
