FIRST NATIONAL
 GETS NEW SAFE
BUYS AN ALARM CLOCK SAFE TO KEEP LIBERTY BONDS IN
 FOR CUSTOMERS.

When the Farmers bank recently went out of business, they were left with one of those professional bank or Big Ben" safes, one of the kind that opens only by appointement which they had no use for since St. George & Cathcart don't need any alarm clock to keep track of their own funds. Dick Wood, who has a steady job, some fifteen years old in Fairbanks at this wiring, looking after other peoples moneys decided that he could use it in his business so yesterday he closed the deal and moved the contraption across the street to the First National bank building where his layout is. Dick says that he has so many Liberty Bonds that folks here purchased dur ing the war and left with him to take care of that it requires special safe for them.

 FLAMING DEATH
 IN HOTEL FIRE
THREE PERSONS BURNED TO DEATH AND NEARLY SCORE IN- JURED IN BIG HOTEL FIRE; FIREMEN RESCUE SCORES OF GUESTS.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 7.-R-Hun- dleds of guests in the big Wilson hotel, in this city, had narrow es- cape from death in it's most horrible form early this morning when that hostelry burned. Three persons were burned to death and one woman was killed when she leaped from a win dow in an upper story to the street below.
 In addition to the dead about a score of others were injured, some of them seriously, several of whom may not recover. The firemen res cued scores of guests who were crowded on the top floors where they have been driven by the rapid sweep Of the flames. The rescue work was carried out under difficult circum- stances and a number of the firemen were slightly burned.
 The manner of the start of the fire is unknown. When the blaze was discovered all the lower part of the building was in flames and escape in that direction cut off. One wo- man jumped to her death before the firemen arrived. The hotel was prac- tically gutted by the fire.

CROWDS TURNED
 AWAY AT DOORS
 OF VAUDEVILLE
FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE SEE THE BENEFIT SHOW AT THORNE'S LAST NIGHT--MAkES BIG HIT AND WILL BE REPEATED NEXT MONDAY.

When the promoters of the vaude- Vile for the benefit Of the Memorial gymnasium" started their activities, possibly they planned better than they knew. At any rate Tholnes s show house proved all too small for the crowd that turned out to see the performance and many were forced to go home without ever seeing the ticket office.
 Approximately 500 paid admissions were received by those in charge ol the affair. More could have been secured had there been room to pack them inside of the building. Every seat in the house was occupied; chairs were brot in and filled ali available space and the $. k. o. sign was taken down before o'clock, all standing room being occupied.
 The management stated at the out set that there would be no encores, but the crowd would not be denied anu forced several by vOciferousness of its applause. The numbers were all good, possibly some taking bet ter than others, but the entire per formance made big hit. Mesdames E. B. Collins and k. l.. Vining un- doubtedly worked untiringly for the success of the affair and their re- ward came in the applause from the audience and the substantial boost given the fund started for the erec- tion of the gymnasium. To them, probably, is due the greater portion of the sweeping success scored.
 On Monday night the show will be repeated. Many who were unable to attend want to see it, and numbers who saw it last night want to go again. The proceeds on Monday night will be given for the benefit of the Actors Fund" This cause is being boosted in every town in the slates-a full account of the move ment has been sent to R. c. Wood, in a letter from Daniel Frohman and full details of it will appear in Sun day mornings issue of The Citizen.
