out: "Some of you children come down
stairs." Immediately the rush started and within
a few seconds hundreds of children were
being trampled under foot. Even those
who had seats in. the gallery, doubtless be
ing panic stricken by the screams and
struggles of the crowds fighting to reach
the staircases, joined in tha stampede.
The scene was a terrible one; the cries
of the Injured and moans of the dying
causing the greatest excitement among
those gathered In the body of the hall.
Police and ushers rushed to the head of
the staircases, which were literally strewn
with dead and dying, and by the most
desperate efforts managed to drag scores
of the struggling children to the corridors
below. It was with the greatest difficulty
that a panlo among the children In tha
lower part of the house was averted, all
of these eventually being taken to the
street In safety.
When the reserve police arrived they
found the narrow stairway practically
blocked with bodies which were crushed In
some Instances almost beyond recognition.
Scores of children were forced by the
pressure from the :rowd behind them to
scramble ovr those that had fallen, living
or dead, and many of the Injured children
were later found to be suffering from frac
tured bones and severe lacerations, caused
by the Indescribable manner In which they
had been trampled upon.
Soon after the accident the approaches to
the hall were crowded with sobbing women
searching for their missing children.

TANGIER, Morocco. Jan. 11. Mulal
Hafld was, on January 4, proclaimed sultan
at Fex. pno of the capltols of Morocco, and
a holy war has been declared.
Unverified reports to this effect have
been in circulation for a day or two, but
today official confirmation of them was
received. Mulai Hafld, who some months
ago was proclaimed sultan at Morocco City,
was not present at Fes, and his uncle,
Malal Saraminl, was made vice regent
pending his arrival there. ' Abd-El-Aziz, the
sultan of record, was formally deposed
from the sultanate.
The proclamations were issued at the
principal mosque, and all the Moorish
formalities attending such ceremonies were
scrupulously' observed. The utcmas, or
body of Moslem doctors, who Interpret the
Koran, of the Choffas tribes, and the city
officials were the principal leader in the
movement. The followers of Mulal Hafld
mads use of 'the decision of. Abd-El-Ails
to co-operate with France
and Spain In . the execution of the
terms of the Algeclras act and the- in
stallation of an International police force
in the coast towns of Morocco to arouse
the fanaticism of the southern Moors. Abd-Bl-Azls
was represented as having sold
himself to the Christians, as having con
nived t the Invasion of the sacred soil of
Morocco by Europeans, and as being ready
to turn the country over to the foreigners.
Powers Taken by Surprise.
PARIS. Jan. 11. Th government is con
siderably disturbed over the unexpected
declaration of a holy war at Fes and the
proclamation of Mulal Hafld as sultan of
Morocco. It ls now anxiously awaiting
Information as to the number of tribes
who will follow the rebel sultan. Every
thing will depend. It Is explained, upon the
strength, which MulM Hafld develops. It
Is pointed out also that France and Spain,
holding a mandate from the powers, have
no option but to recognise Abd-el-Acti as
the legitimate sultan. He signed the Al
geclras act for Morocco and France and
Spain will have to treat with him and
sustain him so long as the official govern
ment remains In his hands.
Should the rebel sultan become formid
able It is conceivable that the country
might become divided, Mulal Hafld being
supreme In the Interior and Abd-el-Asli
with the support of France of Spain ruling
on the coast. Such a situation might
readily produce international complications.
. Star of Troops Prolonged.
The Immediate fiect of the proclamation
of Mulal Hafld as sultan Is certain to
be the Indefinite proclamation of the stay
of the French and Spanish troops In
Morocco, which soon were to have been
withdrawn, as H would now be Impossi
ble to confide the policing of the ports to
Abd-el-AsIs without the safeguard of
European troops. Pending further develop
ments, however, the governments of France
and Spain will proceed with the In
stallation of a police force at Tangier and
Rabat, while General D'Armade, the com
mander of the French force In Morocco,
will proceed vigorously with .the work of
pacifying the country around Casaplanca.

THEVALtJE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Xa ta
Preserving Health and Scanty.
Cost xTotulnf To Try.
Nearly everybody knows tliut charoonl
Is the safest and most efficient disinfect
ant and purifier in' nature, but few realise
its value when taken Into the human sys
tem tfor the same cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more you
take of it; the better; it Is not a drug at
all, but (imply absorbs the gasscs and
impurities always present In the ctomach
and Intestines and carries them out of
the system. '
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking, or after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
(Jltarco&l effectually clears and im
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs tHe Injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowls; It dis
infects the mouth and throat from the
poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal In one form
or another, but probably the beBt char
coal and tho most for the money Is in
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they are com
pored of the finest powdered Willow
charcoal, and other harmless antiseptics
in tablet form or rather In the form of
large pleasant tasting locengee, the char
coal being mixed with honey.
The dally use of these lozenges will
soon tell In a much Improved condition
of the general health, better complexion,
sweeter breath and purer blood, and the
beauty of It is, that no possible harm'can
result from their continued use, but, on
the contrary, great benefit.
. A Buffalo physlclon, In speaking of the
benefits of charcoal, says: "l advise
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all patients
suffering from gas In stomach and bowels
and to clear the complexion and purify
the breath, mouth and throat; I also. be
lieve the liver Is greatly benefited by
the dally use of them; they cost but
twenty-five cents a box at drug stores,
and although In some sense a patent prep,
aratlon, yet I tmlleve I get more and bet
ter charcoal '.a Stuart's Charcoal Lozon

MAN KILLS WIFE, AND SELF
Ed Wilson, Colored, Shoots' Woman
and Cuts Own Throat.
FIEES FIVE SHOTS INTO HEB HEAD
Returns Home Dissipated and Per
forms Tragedy When Wife Says
She Has Not Finished
Ironing; His Shirt.
r-
After firing five shots Into his wife's
head while he held her, then dropping her
lifeless body to the floor, Saturday after
noon at 2:45 o'clock, Ed Wilson walked
leisurely out of his house at 217 South
Twenty-ninth street and went across lots
to the residence of A. W, Hurner, 214 South
Twenty-eighth street, In the rear of which
he stepped Into an outhouse and cut his
throat with a Jackknife. He completely
severed his windpipe and died In ten min
utes. Wlluon, who was colored, had been drink
ing heavily for some days and came home
Saturday afternoon In an ugly mood. He
asked his wife for a clean shirt, and she
arswered that she had not finished ironing
it. This angered Wilson, and without a
moment's warning he pulled out a 38-cal-lber
revolver, grabbed his wife around the
neck, held the pistol close to her head and
discharged five shots In quick, succession.
When he began to shoot. Hazel, the 9-year-old
daughter, who was In the room, ran
out Into the kitchen, where she met 'her
aunt, Mrs. Fannie Daniels, whose husband
is a brother to the murdered woman. She
was crying and screaming, "Oh, auntie,
papa has shot mamma!'1
. With the little girl Mrs. Daniels ran out
of the house and went to a neighbor's.
Wilson was met when he came out of
the house by A. W. Turner, who asked him
about the shooting. He answered Hurner
by saying: "Oh, those people In there tried
to get me, but I got them first."
He then proceeded to the rear of Tur
ner's house and cut bis throat.
The dead woman's mother Is Mrs. Joseph
Washington, who lives at 30120 B street,
Bouth Omaha.
The coroner took charge of both bodies
and will hold an Inquest Monday. They
were both about 28 years of age. He was
employed by the Deright garage as chauf-fler.
la a great and growing Interest In good
seed; farmers are coming more and more
to understand the necessity of having not
only good seed that will grow, but seed
that Is free from adulteration of various
kinds and also free from bad weeds. The
farmer himself is not In a" position to de
termine the relative value of seed from
mere appearance; it is ..highly Important,
therefore, that he should have some au
thoritative source of reference In matters of
this kind. We have a thoroughly equipped
laboratory at Washington, but the distance
Is so great, that farmers cannot forward
samples of seqd quickly enough to get re
sults which will be of 'value to them. In
placing a branch labv atory at Lincoln we
shall offer an opportunity for the farmers
IM Nebraska and adjacent states to get re
turns from the samples forwarded. The
farmers, therefore, may . forward samples
to th.e laboratory whenever they are In
doubt as to any question regarding the
purity or vitality of seeds Involved. We
hope to have the seed laboratory In oper
ation about the first of . February, - and
after that tlnVe all communications and
samples may be- addressed direct tO'8eed

NEW YORK. Jnn. 11 Four men, tt
of them firemen, were killed and aV
fc.00P.WO worth of property was destroyed
by fire, which ruined the tlilrteon-slory
Parked building at Fourth avenue and
Nineteenth street, between mklnlght and
daylight this morning. The firemen are be
lieved to have gone down In the blazing
ruins when one of the flixirs fell, but nono
of their comrades witnessed their deaths.
The dead: . ,
JOHN FALLON.
THOMAS O'CONNOR.
THOMAS PHlLLirS. all member of an
engine company. . ,
ROBERT BETER. a printer, w)to was at
work In the building when the fire started
was missing afterwards and whs believed
to have been killed.
The fire began on the sixth floor of tho
building. Baffled by Weak Water pressure
and bursting hose, the firemen worked at
a great dlssdvantnge. Water could nut ho
forced atjove the eighth story. Falling
floors cut off the escape to tho street not
only for firemen, but of other "Vtrt'upnnts,
and they were rescued only! by ' the imost
darlnj; work. The foundations of the build
ings abutted against the subway and the
walls, bulging when the steel posts and
girders first expanded and then contracted,
threatened to fall and crush the tube.
T raffle Suspended,
All traffic In the subway between Four
teenth street and the Grand Central sta
tion at Forty-second street was Suspended
whllo the fire was at Its worst In the early
hours, but Was resumed during the height
of the early rush of passengers, down town,
only to be suspended again under urgent
orders of the fire and building depart
ments. For hours after Ai fire was
practically extinguished tt was,tlll dn
gerous to run trslns by tho building, and
subway passengers were forced. to resort
to the elevated and surface cars.
At dawn today firemen began searching
in the ruins of the Parker- building
at Nineteenth street and Fourth ave
nue for the bodies of the three fire
men who were reported missing from
the companies that fought tho spec
tacular fire which destroyed the thirteen
story building last night, causing a loss
variously estimated at amounts reaching
$.000,000. Although accounted fire-proof,
the great building burned almost like tin
der, the upper stories being far beyond tha
reach of even the water towers. 'Five mm
on the top floor sought the roof. From
the top of an adjoining building, several
stories lower, a line was shot up from a
mortar. With this the bcleaguerd m. n
drew up a stout rope which they fastened
to a chimney and slid down to the l.twer
roof.
Firemen Caught oa Sixth Flnir.
Three firemen were caught in the slxih
story when 4i floor below thent dropped.
They were forced upward to the seventh
and then to the eighth story of the imllil
Ing. Several firemen, seizing scaling lad
ders, began to swing themselves np the tot
tering wall. Climbing to a window ledge.
the ladder with Its great hook was drawn
up an swung to a higher ledge, the men
working heroically until their endangered
Comrades were reached. Downrthe smokV
Ing wall the men slowly descended. Si
harrow was the escape for reBcuers as well
as rescued that the ladders were burned
where they hung when the firemen dropped
from their rungs. Three of those who Went
up Into the building failed to return and
a soore were more or less hurt. AlthougU
the building was only thirteen 'stories In
height, the fate of one of those twice that
height is easily imagined.
Orders were issued early today closing
the subway which runs past the burned
building.
The tenants of the building Included th
Brunswlek-Balke-Collender company. En
cyclopedia Brittanlca company, Sclierer
company, Falrchlld & Co., D. C Heath &
Co., P. F. Collier & Son and Judge com
pany. .
Further investigation proved the fire 1oh
to be much greater than was at first
thought possible. Fire Commissioner Lanley
and Assistant Fire Chief Blnns thought It
might reach more than $8,000,000, though
the general estimate was K 000,000 . A. M.
Karaghension, dealer in antique rugs, prob
ably sustained the largest Individual loss.
His Is placed at 11,000,000. The Dltmar
Woocn company is said to have lost nearly
as much. The Judge Publishing company
also suffered heavily, as did the branch
office of Collier's Weekly.
' ' Another Man Mlsalac
Robert Beyer, a printer employed on thu
fifth floor of the Parker building, was
reported missing 'today. He was at work
In the building -when the fire started and
has not been seen since.
Tim fire was officially declared to be
under control soon after 7 o'clock, but
Deputy Chief Blnns warned the-police In
keep the crowds as far away as possible,
from the wrecked building as there was:
still danger that it might .collapse as a
result of the contraction of lie steel
girders a they cooled. This resulted in a
complete tie up of the Fourth avenue
trolley line and It was not expected that
any cars would go over the Eighteenth)
street crossing during the day.
Tho through subway service, which had
been resumed during the early rush hours,
was suspended sunrtly after o'clock,
owing to fear of the officials that tha
wreck of the Parker building might collapse
and crash through Into the underground
tube.
