Causes Much Excitement.
Never before were such high class, real Oriental and Turk
ish rugs sold at such big bargain prices. Although yesterday's
selling was phenomenal, there is still an immense stock f
them to sell.
These rugs are from the big stock of II. S. Tavshanjian,
of New York, which was sold at wholesale auction. We
secured many of the choicest lots, and will place on special
Bale tomorrow, real Cossacks real Carabacs real Persians
real Cashmeres, and other highest class Oriental rugs in
all styles and sizes at about one-fourth of what these goods
generally sold for. They should be seen to be appreciated.
The patterns are most exquisite, and really impossible to
describe.
We will offer one lot of Carabacs rugs, in various sizes,
that generally sell from $15 to $25 each, at $5 each.
There are nurmrous room size rugs, ranging from
8x10 to 12x15, that are ordinarily sold at $350 each,

Investigation Into the death of tho four
firemen. Lieutenant William Burmester,
Herbert C. Ooldborough, Leroy Lester and
"William A. Barrett, was begun by Coroner
Brail ay at 10 a. m. yesterday.
County Attorney English Is personally
conducting the taking of testimony and
City Prosecutor Leo Is also present In
behalf of the city. Other attorneys present
are: Lysle I. Abbott, who represents cer
tain relatives of the deceased firemen, and
J. C, Klnsler, representing parties. It Is
said, wbo bad roods stored In tho Pacific
Storage company's warehouses,
Tho Jurors, selected and Impaneled the
morning of tho Are, are: D. D. Moore,
salesman H. B. Mann, secretary of the
Forest Lawn Cemetery association; T. J.
Wilson, baker; H. C. Hartry, cigar dealer,
Midland hotel; W. A. Peterson, contractor,
and H, Ileraog, harness maker, Twenty
second and Cuming streets.
Several witnesses have been summoned
and a lengthy investigation Is expected. A
majority of the firemen who participated
In the fight with tho flames, have been
summoned, us also have been a few specta
tors. Captain Coylo Testifies,
Captain John Coylo of hose company No.
I was the first witness called. Kt testi
fied substantially to statements previously
made and published, disavowing, however,
any knowledge of the building which ool
lapsed having been on fire above the first
floor. In direct examination the captain
testified that hla company was the first
to reach the fire; that a lino of hose had
been laid to the rear of the building,
where hla company was stationed; the
fire on the first floor had been practically
extinguished, when an order was issued
to lay a second line to the adjoining
bulldlngi only an Incipient blase appeared
to be burning near the center of tho build'
tag on the first floor at the time tho build
bur ooUapsed and four of his men went
down with It These men were playing
water on the Are from within the build
ing and were In a distance of perhaps
twenty feet from the rear wall on the
"" uuur. wuon me noors aoove gave
way ma men had no time to escape.
Baildtaa; Investigated.
Tho trend of the ceptaln's testimony in
we ouuaing was over
weighted. This testimony Attorney Kins-
It sought to disprove to cross-examining
too witness, captain Coyle testified that
me araii created by the falling floors
oausod flames to shoot up to a height of
possibly 100 or 200 feet, and tho attorney
laid great stress on this and attempted
to have tho witness commit himself as to
the probability of the floors above tho
first floor having been a "seething mass
of flames" when the building collapsed.
The object of Mr. Klnsler was apparently
to establish tho theory that tho building
collapsed more directly from the cause
of destructive flames than from tho weight
of the goods stored. Mr. Klnsler pur
sued taotlcs in cross-examining witness
which were finally objected to by the
county attorney and also by tho coroner,
"GOOD GROWING WEATHER."
When the New Scalp Antlsoptlo Is
Used
A good bead of hair Is as much a "crown
of glory," for man as It Is for woman, not
withstanding all the poetry on the subject
applied to the female sex exclusively. In
the season when flies bite, the bald-headed
man can sympathise with the Egyptians
wbo were so sorely plagued on account of
ths children of Israel. Why not try New
bro's Herpiclde? Others have been bene
fited and are loud in Its praise. It cleanses
the scalp, kills the germ at tho root of tho
hair and by keeping the scalp sweet, pure
and wholesome the hair Is bound to grow
nature intended, regardless of the tem
perature. Try It and be convinced. Bold
