SKYSCRAPER LIRE TINDER SIXTEEN CHILDREN KILLED Bush for Better Seats Causes Panic in English Theater. 0VEE FORTY ABE BADLY HUBT Jtarrovr Minima? is Packed with Bodies of StrovKllnar Little Ones Many Injured Cannot It ecover. BARNSLEY, Knglanc, Jan. ll.-Slxteen children were trampled to death and forty 'Others, several of whom cannot live, were injured in a mad rush for better seats at an entertainment given in the public hall .fear this afternoon. There was a great . oruah to Secure admittance to the enter tainment, and when tho doors opened every seat was taken and the gallery, was literally packed with children, who filled the aisles and were dangerously massed against the lower railing. With a view to relieving this crowding In the gallery, the attendants de cided to transfer some of the children to tba body of the house and one usher called SALE OF ho m y Advertised For Saturday WILL CONTINUE 3 OEM r.rwnrw ie.th n n kt yS 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. MAI HAFID NEW SULTAN - Moors of Interior Start Holy War Against Abd-El-Aziz.

VESSELS MAY GO TO SOUND Possibility that Admiral ETaas Fleet Mar Pay Visit to North, ra Waters. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. Admiral Evans fleet of slsteen. battleshipe may make a trip to Puget sound after leaving San Fran cisco in the early summer according to an official statement made at the Navy de partment, todar . . 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.

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. .

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 laboratory.

THREE FIREMEN ARE MISSING I'erllooe Hrvtf of Men from I nner lories by Means - of Ladders ' that 'W ere In Flames at Time. boul 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.
