At l?ast 12 persons lost their lives la a Ore which destroyed the New Adeline hotel at Fort Wayne, Ind., early Sunday mornlug. The entire Interior of the building is a smouldering heap of ruins and how many dead arc concealed by the debris can only be conjectured. The hotel register was consumed by the Are and there is no accurate means of determining who is missing. Charred wood, bricks and twisted girders are piled up between the walls to the second story. Piece by piece this mutt be removed before the roll of the de;id can be completed. Some of the bodies taken out are mangled and charred beyond recognition. The l.re wns discovered at 3:30 Sunday inorning tn the elevator shaft by Night Clerk Ralph Pipllns. He rushed to the upper floors, alarming the guests until the flames, which had spread with greut rapidity, drove them back. His efforts, howeve\ saved many lives.

Two Followers of "Unknown Tongue" } Will Be Arraigned on Charge of Lunacy in Pike County, Ga. There have been some sensational developments in Pike County, Gn.. re- , cently with reference to a religious sect which has been operating for the 1 past several years through that sec- I tlon. Vega, in Pike county being the i central points of operations. A lot of , these people have been acting so strangely that they have been severely criticised, and In fact, in a number of Instances tlieir conduct bus | been such, it is claimed thai it hits , become objectionable to the comuiun- , ity. Last summer they ran a camp meeting at Vega, which became so notorius that peopie from the entire surrounding country flocked there to witness the performances. The loaders claimed to have received miraculous i>ower. and to have a special favor called the "unknown tongue," which consists of such an alleged Jabbering as was probably never before wtlnPRSpH nnltotllo'lhlo "-J' ?, ?. ...wniQtuic tv/ uiur nary begins but clearly understood as they claimed by all the followers of the new religion. Some times various individual* would go off into a trancs like state, in which condition they would remain for hours and days, and at times weeks. Some times some of them would tramp the fields aud woods, shouting and moaning, uutil the neighltorhood would become alarried and the women and children much frightened. In the meantime representatives of the new sect were traveling the country, begging fnuds with which to establish an orphans' home at Vega aud a large framed building hud been erected, where several children hud been collected. This condition continued until tho Pike County grand jury niot two weeks ago, when certain citiaous of |the county went before the body and asked relief at its bands. It seems that, the grand jury, in Its efforts to aid the people of that section, returned two bills against two victims of the new religious order and the Investigations of tho allog"d home resulted In two children from the j home appearing before tho body in iZebulon and from there sent to their former home In Columbus, (la. The citizens of Vega then took a hand and after public meetings notified Manager Stafford that he was not a proper person to be in charge of th? place and that a proper man would have to be put in charge or the place closed. All children there wore immediately sent to their former homes and It is probable that the orphanage is out of bupiuess. Interesting developoitnts have been going on, however, in the ranks of the holiness followers. When the sheriff of the county went to arrest the young man and young woman, charged with vagrancy, u wonderful state of affairs was discussed. From the information obtained these two people went into a trance at the camp meeting last summer, in which they lingered many days. They then went to the home of the young mun's father where they have since been, actually refusing to do a single tiling, not even bathing or changing wearing upparel. The food on which they have subsisted had to lie carried to their rooms and fed to them. They are sights to look upon. Strange as it may seem, the father of this young man is a respectable citizen and the faiinly esteemed in he community and they stoutly maintain that there is nothing the matter with the young man and the young woman except that they "had the power of the Holy Ghost." Iu the rf Hutv fho uhoriff rind the two to Zebulon and placed | them in jail. The friends of the fam ily at once made bond for their release, but when the sheriff opened the doors and told them to walk out they declined, saying that the "Lord had put them In jail und when He ordered them out they would obey." All who try don'l succeed, but all who succeed tried. lirynn Will He Klocted. The Augusta Herald says the Hon. Clark Howell, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, has just returned from a visit to the North. As the national democratic committeeman for Georgia, the editor of the leading morning paper in the state, ex-president of the state senate and one of the best informed men in Georgia it was natural that he should he a.;ked for an expression of his views on the national political situation. In speaking of the probable nomination of Mr. Taft and the expected nomination of Mr. Bryan, Mr. Howell expressed himself as being confident that the Democrats would win should these two gentlemen be pitted against each other. Mr. Howell's view, that Mr. Bryan will beat Mr. Taft. if these two men become the candidates of their respective parties. is shared by many well informed men. A tradle costing SI.000 has just been imported for a Chicago baby, but a baby in the next block may sleep as well in a f>0 cent crib and get to the White House first, says the Birmingham Age Herald. "Can't some one write a tribute to the mule in front of the plow?" asks the Augusta, Ga., Chronicle. We presume so. says the Washington Herald. Certainly it ought to be easier in front of the plow than behind it. The directors of the bank at Waycross.

A dispatch from Washington says die fact that Senator Money of Mis- i iisslppi passed through life for 35 1 retire with a dislocated neck and did & lot know it became known to some < if his associates recently and created l general astonishment. The condltiou * was discovered when the senator be- 1 gen to take oateopathi" treatment for ' neuralgia. lie has suffered intensely ( from that ailment for many yours. , At the Atst battle of Franklin, iu ! April. 1 Stl3, Mr. Money was a cavalry man in the Confederate service. 1 While riding through th? streets, he ' was struck by a bullet that circled ' around his ribs, doing no other in- I Jury. The shock was such that Mr. Money was thrown front his horse 1 and struck on his head. Relng help- t less he was captured and taken within the federal lines. He did not ask for hospital treatment, was exchanged later, rejoined his troop and fought until the war was closed. Years passed and Mr. Money entered the senate. Neuralgia had taken a firm hold on him and his eyesight had grown so bad as to approximate blindness. Senator Foraker advised Mr. Money to try osteopathy, which was just beginning to attract much attention. Mr. Foraker's daughter lias been benefited by the treatment. Senator Money went to New York accompanied by his son and visited the osteopathist. Almost the doctor's first remark was: "Why, senator you have had your neck broken." Senator Money denied all knowledge of Hiich an affliction. The physician declared that one of the vertebrae hud been entirely pushed from ?ne lop or the column supporting the head and was in a wrong position, tie demonstrated that the muscles on one side of the neck were flabby and useless. "If you had been old enough to 'ak?? part in the Civil war." said the physician, "1 would say you were 'livown from a horse and sustained he broken neck." "That is just exactly what did happen." replied Senator Money, recalling the injury at Franklin. "1 can cure your neck," said the physician: "it will require but a moment's time." The osteopath laid the senator on a table, tool; hold of the misplaced vei table with both hands and snapped it into proper position. The noise made by the bones swinging into pluce was like the report of n .iftol. The senator's son, who was looking out of the window, turned in alarm, saying: "Father, have you broken your neck?" "No," replied tre senator. "I have just had it set." The physician told Senator Money that he must exercise precaution until ihe weakened muscles regained their lornial strengtu. lie was cautioned jot to turn his head in looking at anything, but to move the entire body. Those instructions were observed. and the neck upurently be r.sne as strong as it was thirty five years before the operation. * A woman worries over chapped knees as if every body knew it A hundred years cannot repair a moment's loss of honor. To blow your own horn successfully always speak well of others. 1'se your head to think with. Hat nvks can he gotten at the 10-cent tores. Don't grumble when things go vrong. H><11 up your sleeves and make them go right. What Wottcrson Say*. The country is always interested in VIr. Watterson's utterances. He re, icated Saturduv that there is now no question about it. that Bryan is the nominee. To quote him further: "If the Courier-Journal can get to Bryan, surely the most disaffected | ought to be able to reach him with.ut much trouble, in case they be democrats and not republicans. We fought a good tight against him, and ve fought it to a finish. We fought .t to unite, not to divide, the party, ind we fought it whilst there was cet time for parley. We fought it sincerely, openly, frankly, unsparingly. Not until money, mysterious ind unexpected, took the field?after the Courier-Journal had plead ind plead in vain for some intelligent, disinterested, popular reponse?did the newspapers of New York City begin to open their eyes, to sit up and take notice. It is too late. In short and fine, democrats must get down to business and out ?.f the anti-Bryan habit. It is Bryan <>r nothing. Except that too many fools got to the front, the party might have been saved in 189f>. It can ue savea now, ii too many fools do not get to the rear. There must he a change of parties in the government, else there will never come i change of policies short of revolu ?ion, the one-party power, next after the one man power, being fatal o liberty. In a contest of this sort 'he ad hominem argument shou'd disappear from the minds of men like dew3 before the morning sun." The discovery that there is one rlivorce to every twelve marriages in Maine leads the Washington PoEt to suspect that love doesn't take eery deep root in a dry state. Now it is reported that "razorless ?haves" have been perfected.
