I>ake Charles, La.—Fire swept
through the residence and business
sections of this city Saturday, doing
property damage to the extent of
$4,000,000. Five thousand persons
are homeless, several are missing and
scores are injured.
Tne fire which started in the old
opera house near the center of town,
wiped out more than 30 business
blocks and then burned a path
through the residence section. The
flames were finally checked late in
the evening by the use of dynamite,
with which big breaches were made
In the path of the names, but not un-
til the town had been practically
wiped out. The cause of the confla-
gration has not been ascertained.
Temporary camps have been estab-
lished on the outskirts of the city
and thousands of homeless and in-
jured are being cared for as well as
possible. The suffering of the ref-
ugees is intense on account of th*
sudden drop in temperature.
Lake Cnarles is practically a new
city of 20,000 inhabitants. It Is a big
rice, lumber and oil center and the
biggest town in southwest Louisiana.
A high wind carried the names
from the old opera house, where the
fire started, and soon the Catholic
church and convent nearby were
ablaze. Two hundred children were
rushed out of the convent safely.
The courthouse and city hall, both
new structures, were among the
bui'dings destroyed.
Much of the property destroyed
was not insured to its full value, and
the individual losses will be heavy.
Heavy losses were also caused by the
destruction of old records and price-
less French heirlooms.
Miner Hung to Cross
| Washington, Pa.—George Rabish,
a foreign coal miner, Is dead as a re-
I suit ot an outrage perpetrated upon
him by a crowd of drunken country-
1 men who twice hanged their victim

thorns. Four men are under arrest as
a result of the outrage and private
and public officers are scouring the
country for others implicated.
Strong Gas Well at Waurika
Waurika, Okla.—A strong Tlow of
gas was struck at a depth of sixty-
five feet in a well being sunk one
mile east of here on the farm of J.
i S. Mize. The well gives out a loud,
roaring sound continually. Water
and mud shot up 60 feet high when a
half stick of dynamite was exploded.
Great excitement prevails and crowds
are driving and walking to the well.
Fruit Crop Is Destroyed
Carrollton. •Mo.—Careful orchard-
ists here say the entire fruit crop
was destroyed by the freeze Monday
morning. The prospect for apples
and peaches had been flattering be-
fore the freeze.
Blizzard Does Great Damage
Chicago, 111.—Twenty-four hours of
blizzard sweeping over fifteen states,
the great lakes and part of Cs«r.ca
has caused a probable loss to fruit,
' vegetables and giain crops of $75,-
. 000,000.

So great was the crush to people
to greet Theodore Roosevelt at the
station at Budapest, Hungary, that a
leg of the chief of police was broken
in the crowd which tnronged the
American. Great enthusiasm marks :
all the demonstration along his j
way.

ploded in the yards of the National j
railway of Mexico at Monterey, elev- ,
en employes of the road were killed. .
The screwing down of the safety j
valve on the engine, after it had been |
run out of the round house, caused |
the explosion.

rived in the Pekin harbor, following

POSTUM FOR MOTHERS
The Drink That Nourishes and Sup-
plies Food for Mother and Child.
"My husband had been unable to
drink coffee for Beveral years, so we
were very glad to give Postum a trial
and when we understood that long
boiling would bring out the delicious
flavour, we have been highly pleased
with It.
"It is one of the finest things for
nursing mothers that I have ever seen.
It keeps up the mother's strength and
increases the supply of nourishment
for the child if partaken of freely. I
drank it between meals instead of wa-
ter and found It most beneficial.
"Our five-year-old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bloodless.
I began to give him Postum freely and
you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great improvement, we never fail to
tell them that we attribute his gain
in strength and general health, to the
free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.
"I have always cautioned friends to
whom I have spoken about Postum, to
follow directions in making it, for
unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
other hand, when properly made, It is
very delicious. I want to thank you
for the benefits we have derived from
the use of your Postum."

IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
Author of Popular Novel Has Had •
Lively Career
From the luxurious home of a 6t
Louis army officer to a bleak western
Nebraska cattle ranch and thence at
a tender age thrown upon his own re-
sources, Charles Teamy Jackson au-
thor of one of Bobbs-Merrlll a latest
offerings, "The Day of Souls, ha.
had a varied and interesting career.
But every moment of sn active, ad-
venturous, crowded life of frequent
changes, many habitats, he has been
alive and seeing. Like Kipling he
has traveled many a trail, "tor to ad-
mire and for to see. for to be old this
world so wide." And the fruit of
thousand impressions is this first
The story is in no way didactic,
though it Is written for a purpose,
though it preaches a sermon, though
it points anew the ancient warning
that the wages or sin is death, and
revives again the blessed promise
that he that is steadrast to the end
shall be saved. The mantle of Franh
Norris has fallen on Charles Tenney
Jackson.
A. Radcliffe Dugmore, F. R. G. S.,
author of "Camera Adventures in the
African Wilds," Just published by
Doubleday, Page & Co.. whose inti-
mate photographs of wild animals in
Africa 'nave been accepted by the
American Museum of Natural History
as scientific records, Is an English-
man who has roamed most of the ob-
scure and perilous parts of the world
with his camera. He was at first a
naturalist and made drawings of the
animal life he studied. About ten
years ago. he became convinced of the
superiority of the camera over any
other form of pictorial record; since
then, he 'nas taken photographs of ev-
erything from wild flowers at clos*
quarters to a charging rhino* at fif-
teen yards.
His book with its 140 illustrations
from photographs, is not only an au-
thoritative record of Atrican animal
lire, but a thrilling account or experi-
ences that cannot, rrom the very na-
ture or his pursuit, come to the man
who hunts with a gun.
