In private institutions are 30 injured. r
Some two score persons are known ?
to have escaped as if by a miracle '
from the building which burst into "
flame like a tinder box ana became v
a roaring furnace almost in no time sJ

About 126 persons were in the factory

great throng being restrained only f*
by the closely drawn police lines n
from rushing into the ruins to seek
the bodies of relatives or friends. w
Many streams of water are being ; ai
poured into the fiery pit. which a '
few hours ago was the cellar of the A
burned establishment. As the ruins
were cooled slightly, from time to a
time in a spot upon which the
streams were centered, men wen'
forward to dig as long as human endurance
would allow them to work.
Occasionally a body was found and Y
quickly taken away. II
This work went on all night and u
will perhaps go on all day today be- w
fore the glowing mass gives up its j d
last dead. It will take at least two v:
days, the authorities believe, before tj
the cellar can be cleared and the v
whole truth can become known. b

Wide Tires.
luthern Rood Roads Magazine.
Wide tires on heavily loaded wagis
will do more to keen roads in
)od condition and reduce the cost
maintenance than anything else,
is an undisputed fact that narrow
ontired veicles are one of the main
tuses of the rapid deterioration of
ir public roads. Vehicles should
ive tires with a width in proportion
the load the vehicle can carry,
e tires ranging from two to eight
ches. If the front axle was shorter
an the rear axle so that wheels
ould not tread it would still futhdecreases
the cost of mainnance.
Such wagons are not at the pres:t
time on the market to any extent,
id the demand for them will he dermined
by road regulations that
:11 require their use.
A state or a county that taxes itlf
to raise revenue with which to
lild good roads has the right to
gulate traffic on these roAds. It is
ir and equitable that users of narw
irontired vehicles should he profited
from improved public road
should be required to pay a heavy
ivilege tax for using the road
