ing of the Commercial club was hold
Saturday at which a committee of
three was appointed ( o confer with
Congressman Kinkald and urge- upon
him the matter of introducing a bill
In congress providing for the erec
tion of a federal building at this place.
The committee will also urge the city
council to rush the completion of ce
ment walks and crossings and the
numbering of the streets so there will
Lo no obstruction In the way of free
mall delivery , which the city is now
in line for. When the annual receipts
of a postofllco reach $10,000 the town
Is then ready for a carrier system. The
receipts of this ofllco for the fiscal
year ending April 1 , 1909 , were $9,346 ,
within $654 of the required amount.
The receipts this year arc over nine-
hundred dollars ahead of the corresponding
pending month of last year , and it
seems to be an assured fact that they
will reach aud exceed the amount
necessary for free delivery service in
the city. In order to get this , streets
.and sidewalks will have to pass in
spection by the postofllce department ,
and all houses must be I numbered ;
hence the activity of the Commercial
club to start the ball rolling. A new
postolflco building is what the town
needs now. Both Alliance and Chad-
ron have bills in the present congress
for appropriations in the sum of $135-
000 each for a new federal building.
The office at Chadron is that of the
third class , with receipts last year of
less than $9,000 and a. salary of $1,800 ,
While Broken Bow is that of the second
end class with greater receipts and a
salary of $2,100.

It is slated uiion good authority that

a roundhouse is another improvement
which will soon take place. When the
road was built Into Callaway in 1890 ,
a round house was built , but during
the hard times , when only three trains
a week were run up the K. & B. H.

the round house , and the same was
torn down. However , with three trains

HOSPITAL DUILDING BURNS AT
JACKSONVILLE , ILL.
THE HOME OF INSANE PATIENTS
Frightened Women Taken Out Es
cape Attendants and Roam the
Streets , Some of Them In
Scanty Attire.
Jacksonville , 111. Fire in the central
hospital for the Insane hero Tuesday
night destroyed the north wing of the
Institution , threatened destruction of
other portions for hours and for a
time caused much anxiety among the
asylum olllclals in preventing panic
and escape among the patients. It is
believed a few Inmates arc at large.
WJien the flro broke out In the north
annex , soon after 8 o'clock , some of
the jiatlents escaped , but the asylum
authorities helped in the removal of
inmales from the burning wing to an
other portion of the hospital. The flro
in tlio north wing burned fiercely , and
the local fire department fought It
with difficulty , several firemen being
Injured by falling walls within the
first half hour. It was near midnight
before the flro was under control.
Most of the patients rescued from
the burning section were escorted by
guards and volunteers to the south
wing of the asylum , a now addition.
The lire , however , so alarmed the pa
tients that the situation became
threatening , and citizens of Jackson
ville wore asked to aid In preventing
further disorder.
The patients /from ono end of the
asylum to the other became excited
and those who were freed from the
burning cction gave the guards much
concern. Several men and women es
caped while being transferred from
the burning portion , some of them
being captured before they could reach
the streets , and others being found in
the outlying streets. Some women
were found , thinly clad , sitting on curb
stones half a mile from tlio asylum ,
and taken back.
It is rumored that a number of pa
tients still are in the burned portion
of the asylum. These , it is stated ,
were women on the fourth floor of the
four-story building , who are reported
to have rushed Into the attic. They
may have perished. There is no cer
tainty regarding the number of pa
tients in the building.
The lire started In the roof of the
north wing , according to the attached
of the institution. What started the
flro Is not known. The flames spread
rapidly to the fourth floor where sev
eral hundred women patients were
kept. Their cries created a terrific
din , which aroused men and women
patients throughout the institution.
Hospital attendants and officials
worked desperately with the fright
ened patients and several hundred
were in a few minutes removed to
Quarters in the new part of the asy
lum. On the fourth floor where flames
entered before the patients had been
taken away , it is believed that some
of the women may have- eluded the at
tendants.
While the firemen were fighting the
flames the police received word by lei
cphono that several women were
roaming the streets wrapped in blank
ets , and that other women patients
were .it largo without any clothing
whatever , having torn off their night ;
dresses in their excitement. Police
and volunteers are searching for th\ \
escaped Inmates.
At 11 o'clock , though the flro In the
north wing still was burning and
floors and walls had fallen , danger oj
further spread of the flames seemed
slight. Officials of the asylum weru
engaged In checking up the inmates
of the north wing , but had been unable
lo report whether all of the 200 pa
tients in the flro stricken portion had
accounted for.
Korean Premier Stabbed.
Seoul , Korea. Premier Yi. the
head of the Korean cabinet was stab
bed and fatally wounded Tuesday by

peror. Yi was regarded as a firm and
competent officer , but his efforts to

Cook Ignorant , Not a Fraud.
Christiana "Nobody could feel
more sorrow at the commission's
crushing slam than myself , for I had
learned to appreclalo Cook as a do-
voled friend and an honest man , " said
Captain Ronald Amundsen Tuesday
with much feeling. . "Tho important
question now is whether ho is a
swindler or merely ignorant. I pre
fer to believe that Dr. Cook himself
was confident that he nad arrived at
the north polo. This must have been
a fixed idea with him. If ho Is swin
dling ho must have changed his char
acter in the past ten years. "
