FIRE DESTROYS SHAFT
HOUSE ON CENTRAL CITY
Fierce Wind is Blowing But Fire.
men Prevent Flames From
Spreading to Buildings and
Houses on Lower Gregory st.

A fire broke out at 8 o'clock on
Monday morning at the home of
julie Valentine, near the Central
City mine shaft house. The house
occupied by Mr.. Valentine and
also the Central City shaft house
were entirely destroyed and one
of the freight cars, standing on
the siding, was damaged.
The fire was discovered by Joe
Flynn, who lives near. The heavy
wind blew the skylight off from
his house and he got up to replace
it. But for this happening Cen
tral City would probably have had
a serious fire.
Mr.. Flynn rushed over to the
scene of the fire, aroused Mr..
Valentine, and then turned in the
alarm. With the assistance of
j. R. Rule, who was the first to
respond to the call, they started
the hose cart on it's way towards
the hydrant nearest the fire. They
were quickly Joined by many 9TH
ers and within very few minutes
they had water playing on the
Valentine house and also upon
the mine shaft house, which had
caught fire in the meantime.
The fire is said to have started
from some live ashes and Goals
which had been thrown outside
the Valentine house. AS both
buildings were old the damage is
not large.
Central City has every reason
to be proud of her efficient fire
force. But for their prompt re-
sponse and untiring efforts kept
up during the balance of the
night, and with the wind blowing
a gale, the business portion of
the town stood but a slight chance
of escaping complete destruction
or great damage, and without
doubt many homes would have
been destroyed. The house of
Jim Johns and also the old Floyd
house, which are several hun
dred feet away, caught fire from
the sparks which were blown by
the wind, but the fire was quickly
put out before it got under head
way.
. The two hose carts of the Black
Hawk department were brought
to Central, the hose to be used if
needed to prevent the flames from
spreading down the gulch.
Considering the character of
the buildings hereabouts and the
hurricane that was raging, Cen
tral City can thank it's lucky stars
that it has force of fire fighters
that is seldom equalled in city
of its size.

Two Shifts on Eureka

Work of electrifying the hoist
of the Eureka mine was completed
yesterday and two shifts will be
put on of between 25 and 80 men.
The big ore body is still strong
and from the extent that it has
been opened up gives every indi-
cation of producing a heavy ton
mage of both smelling and milling
ore for an indefinite period.

Sunday Says Prohibition Will
Decrease Population of He'll

Billy Sunday broke into free
verse when he was requested to
tell the people what he thinks of
John Barleycorn's Black Friday,
the Sober Sixteenth of January.
He fired these shots into the dy-
ing foe:
"The prohibition amendment
will hold down the population of
hell.
"The devil is preparing to bank
his fires, put crepe on the door
and hang out the For Rent sign.
"The constitutional amendment
will decrease his population as
sure as death and taxes.
But it will increase bank de-
positors.
ut will increase the number of
milk bottles left by the milkman.
at will increase the smiles on
the faces of little children.
ut will increase the joy in
heaven.
can institution that picked our
pockets of millions of dollars each
year and gave nothing but dis
grace, degradation, disease and
delerium tremens-
THAT put 100000 men in drunk
ards graves each year
THAT wrapped the mantle of
crepe about every hope in this
world and every hope in the world
to come
THAT turned the milk of hum
an kindness into the broth and
whey of hell
THAT made our homes the
bleakest moor of misery that the
fanged hounds of hunger and
lust ever bayed across
THAT was always found in al
lance with gambling and prosti-
tuition
THAT was more destructive
than war, pestilence or famine
THAT was purity's worst enemy
and the best friend of vice
Should have been in hell long
ago, where it was spawned.
"The saloon turned a paradise
into desert and the constitu-
tional amendment will turn the
desert back into a paradise.

enough to see the white winged
dove of prohibition build her nest
on the dome of the Capitol at
Washington and spread her bright
pinions of sobr.ety and peace over
the land
And that on and after Jan. 16
we will be so dry in America that
you will have to prime a man be-
fore he can spit.
"The next job of housecleaning
will be to rid our country of this
gang of good-for-nothing, Cod

On a cold, windy morning last
: week, after a sudden change in
the thermometer, man living on
First High street came rushing
downstairs in the morning in his
nightshirt to change the drafts
on his furnace. He decided to put
the thermometer outside to see
how cold it was. The wind blew
the door shut. He stood out in
the cold with only his night ap-

Get Out an Injunction

Miss Esther Miller, one of the
public school teachers, resigned
Monday. Some radical steps will
have to be taken to prevent our
schoolmarms from striking. The
board of directors should take out
an injunction or writ of man
damus and stop it. Unless some
thing of this kind is done we may
have to close our schools for the
lack of teachers.

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
aration, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" You Just
dampen sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
BY morning all gray hair disappears,
and, after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray. faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign OF old age, aud as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful tot
let requisite and not medicine. It
ls not intended for the cure, rnitiRs
ton or prevention OF disease.

NEW YORK, Nov. ia crusade

proprietors to sell tickets to minors
unless accompanied by parents OF

today as a result of the panic on the
lower East Side last night when six
children we're trampled to death 4 a
mad rush following a false fire
alarm.
Z paper clogged furnace flue
which caused smoke to fill the Cath
crime theatre, in the Italian quarter,
raised a cry of fire" and IN the en-
suing panic six tots. between the
ages of and 10 years were killed.
Twelve others were seriously injured.
The little theatre was crowded to ca
p.city. Children filled most of the
800 seats, for the hero of the picture
was an italian lad who rose from
humble surroundings like theirs to
riches and fame.
The Youngsters were absorbed IN
the progress of the screen hero
Pietro, who was protecting his father
from thieves, when smoke began TO
seep thrugh the cracks OF the the
atre floor.
MY God, it's a fire"
This shout came from an elderly
woman, who gathered lottle one UNI
der her arm and ran for the near
est exit. Immediately loud walls
rose, children began to cry. They
Jumped from their seats, jammed the
aisles and fought for passage. The
lights flickered out.
Youthful cries attracted many resi-
dents of the Italian neighborhood
Camille Bruillo, who sells bananas
from a pushcart on the Bowery, rush
ell to the scene. He darted into the
theatre and attempted to shout down
the cries. Failing he saved those he
could. Camille carried more than
fifteen tots to safety, then collapsed,
overcome by smoke.
Some one sounded fire alarm.
Many, then, were carried from the
theatre, overcome by smoke. They
were soon revived.
Firemen carried the dead to near
by drug stores. The injured were
sent to hospitals.

This means excitement, wild
scramble for Office, more coaxing of
delegates, and more treats of ice

out by his friends. General Apathy
is the war candidate. The New Third
Party felt the need of a miltaryish
candidate. Hence General Apathy
General Apathy is not favorite son.
He's national figure.
Already one delegate from Spring
feverville has been instructed for
General Apathy, and it is predicted
that the delegates-at-large from the
state of Somnolence will vote fol
him.

ger made a cunning move when he

for the abolishment of alarm clocks
