Chemicals and Clothing Destroyed.

Chicago, Dec. 8.-A warehouse re-
Gently leased by the government for
the medical division of the army was
destroyed by fire of mysterious origin
today. Chemicals among the stores
caused a number of small explosions.

only the tottering walls of the five
story structure were standing when
firemen arrived. The building stood
at South Dearborn street and West
Fortieth street.
Major w. S. Shields and thirty-five
employees fled from the flames. Major
Shields said he had no comment to
make on suspicious of firemen that in
cendiaries started the fire.

of the five-story building in which are
stored army clothing and similar sup
plies.

BOOK OF STORIES
Major Harvey Prints Volume
of Kansas Pioneer Memories.
1t Will Be Off the Press About
December 20.

Crane & Co. have announced that a
book of short stol les written by Maj.
A. NJ. Harvey, of Topeka, is now being
published by them, and will be out
about December 20. These stories all
have to do with the vicinity of the
great stone bridge which spans the
Wakarusa river south of Topeka and
near the majors cabin and country
rendezvous. Actual life along the
Wakarusa and folklore of the local
ity are mixed among the tales which
make up the book The story about
John Macdonald is actual history, and
will be appreciated by his many
friends, while The Phantom Fisher
man and Other Ghosts" exhibits some
of the fancies common to the COM
munity. The majors cabin is stu
ated on an old trail of the Sac and
Fox, and this gives him an excuse to
print something about their life on the
Wakarusa during the 4O's. While the
names of local characters are freely
used, the stories are indicative of
pioneer life in practically every Kan
sas community. The title of the book
is Tales and Trails of Wakarusa, -
and the major says that his principal
pay the printer
Story of Life.
In giving the notice of the new
book, it seems proper to give a de-
scription of the author. He was
raised in the vicinity that furnishes
location for his stories. He gives the
story of his own life in his tales of
others, and the stories themselves ring
true from beginning to end. Major
Harvey started life as a common lab
orer, waller of wells, and his hands
have been marred with horns and cal
lous. From this he came to teaching
school for little space, and then went
into a lawyers office, finally becoming
a lawyer.
He entered politics and some became
lieutenant governor of Kansas. He
enlisted at the very beginning of the
Spanish American war as major in
one of the Kansas regiments, return
ing home at its close with his sense
OF humor in no wise impaired.
! Major Harvey applied for entrance
to the second officers training camp
but did not get in, so his military as
plrauons are now centered in his son,
Randall. who is a soldier of the gun
bearing type at Fort Sill. The Tales
and Trails of Wakarusa" is dedicated
to this son and to the nineteen year
old boys of II and their older com
