Some interesting things were dis
covered when workmen got conditions
so they could work inside the room
The plate glass of the barber shop
appeared not to be damaged. Whether
it will stand moving to another place,
however, is to be seen. But as the
glass stood in place there was nc
evidence OF damage in any way
Even the pests Of the back CT the
frame in which the large mirror was
held were only slightly damaged. This
was due to the fact that being at
the corner, water was kept playing
on it until the fire was controlled,
although flames filled the room at
times as ocharred portions OF the
frame OF the mirrors show.
In the room directly above the
barbershop there was stored a con-
siderable quantity OF blankets and
linens and these were found in fairly
good condition, damaged If at all by
the effects of the water and smoke.
These had been kept in that room
during the time OF the repair work
in the hotel and in the lot was an
amount OF new goods which had been

rooms following the repair work.
The barber chairs, were, not seriously
damaged and could ibe used again
with some repair, but they are OF an
old type and it is regarded as doubt
ful if, with present prices OF modern
chairs, the repair of the damaged
chairs would be economical. The
chairs and the mirror and all the
fixtures have an historic background
There is said to be a large quantity
of the merchandise Of the Meredith
and Wimberley clothing firm that
will probably show but little damage
when it can be gotten out but il
may take two or three days to release
it from the debris which now holds
it fast. 1t is said that there is a
large quantity Of shoes in one section
that is above the basement wreck and
if that proves to be true, they may
be in reasonably good condition
Those in the basement are believed
to be ruined by the water as there
was a great quantity OF water in the
basement after the fire had been
put out, probably as much as two OF
three feet

when, in the Liberty theater on Christmas Eve, the school children, ushered in the Yuletide with a splendid program which reflected credit on not only the little enter tainers but also those who spent many patient days training the little ones.
 The entire program teemed with originality and finish, and the honors were shared equally from the wee tot to his or her more adult compatriot. The theme for the program was happy one with the kiddies representing a wide variety of Santa Claus store of tyos, from the swaying Jacks in-the-BoXes to legendary folk lore fairies.
 l Dainty little fairies fitted hith- CT and yon upon the stage just as if they had stepped from the heart of some frangrant flower. while the entire galaxy of alligorical characters, MT. and Mrs. Santa Claus, Christmas Fairy, French, Japanese, Sailor, Indian and Pir- ate Dolls, Wooden Soldiers, Jacks in-the-Boxe Clowns, Raggedy Ann and Andy, and Biblical inn presentations, came and went in as brilliant panorama of Kris Kringle's' Christmas Eve program as has ever been presented here.
 While the children were half wrapt in the spell of Santa Claus, they were not alone, for the aud- fence, which occupied every seat and all standing room, responded repeatedly with salvos of ap- plause.
 One outstanding feature, per- fectly apparant' to all, was the completeness of detail especially in costuming the children. Each and everyone was carried out to exactness adding greatly to the entertainment which from be- ginning to end was presented with clock-like precision; there was no hesitancy which again attested to the great care the members of the Seward schools faculty had drilled the cast
 Dow Galloway, representing the Odd Fellows Lodge, under whose auspices the program was pre- sented, opened the program with a brief and appropriate speech.
