Rawhide, Nev., Sept. 4.—Three
thousand people homeless, a score or
more injured and property loss of
over $750,000, is the result of a disas-
trous fire which started at 9 o’clock
this morning in the Rawhide Drug
Company’s building. ^Fanned by a
gale, the fire swept rapidly south and
east to Balloon avenue and up Raw-'
hide avenue to within fifty yards of
the People’s Hospital.
Over a ton and a half of dynamite
were used in demolishing buildings,
which in a measure choked the flames
progress. The volunteer fire depart-
ment and 500 citizens worked heroical-
ly-, but on account of the inflammable
oonstructian of the buildings they
were swept away like tinder.
At 11 o’clock the business portion of
Rawhide was a smoldering heap of
ruins, the flames being finally check-
ed, south of Balloon avenue.
Among the first buildings to go was
Coffins’ hardware store, which con-
*tained two tons of dynamite that ex-
ploded with terrific report, hurling
burning planks and boards a great
distance, setting fire to numerous
buildings.
Many people were slightly injured
by flying debris, but none are report-
‘ed seriously hurt.
A subscription list war started and
in a few minutes over $5,000 was rais-
ed and a relief train started from Reno
at 4 o’clock carrying thousands of
pounds o^food and bedding.
AH the mining towns of the State
came quickly to the assistance of the
Rawhide sufferers with cash contri-
butions.
Two commercial travelers are re-
ported to have lost their lives in the
burning ofc >tbe Ross Hotel, but this
has not been confirmed. The town
has been placed under martial law.

Badly Damaged.
Atlanta* Gs., Sept. 5.—Commission-
er of Aggjricaltare Hddson states that
in his belief the cotton crop of Geor
gia has been damaged by the reoent
rain to the extent of 500,000 bales.
The commissioner said that in only
tiro counties in the state is the crop
up to the standard of that of last year.
“The heavy rains which were gen-
eral throughout the state two or three
weeks ago, followed by the exceed
ingly hot weather, accounts for the
damage. I
“The two excesses caused the cot-
ton to shed its young bolls to such an
extent that every acre of farm land in
Georgia was literally covered with
them. The damage is greater this
year than ever before in my know-
ledge.”
Jidge Aldredge Dead.
Dallas, Sept. 5.—While not unex-
pected, the announcement of the
death of Judge George N. Aldredge
this morning came like a shock to
the whole community of the city of
Dallas. For thirty-five long, event-
fnl years he has Uved in Pallas, re-
spected, honored, loved by all who
knew him. Judge Aldredge settled
la Dallas in September, 1873. While
he Uved, he saw a small, straggling
country village grow and expand into
a -great metropolis, into the largest*
meet progressive and foremost city in'
the state. At every stage of this im
fpovament he lent an able and a will

Many Apply for Pensions.
Austin, Sept. 1.—Approximately 800
new applications for pensions were
piled up on the desk of Captain E. A.
Bolmes, chief of the pension bureau
in the Comptroller’s department, who
returned yesterday from bis vacation
•pent on bis farm in Burnet county.
Never before has there been so many
new applications for pensions at one
time, and should the majority of these
applicants be granted'pensions, the
amount appropriated for that pur-
pose wtill not be large enough to give
sach old soldier $16 for one quarter as
he -is now getting. Indeed, Captain
Bolmes said, the indications are that
the pensioners will get only about $14
for the next qaarter, which begins
Oct 1.
Aslong as the number of pension-
ers was kept down to about 8000 it
was possible to give them $16" per
quarter, but now that the indications
are that the number will increase to
about 9000 or thereabouts, the amount
has to be rednoed accordingly.
It is likely that the legislature will
lion for Confederate pensions or else
the old soldiers will get considerably
less than at present, especially as the
nnmbdr of pensioners are on the in-
crease instead of decreasing. The
amonnt appropriated by the Thirtieth
legislature was $525,000 for the first
and $523,000 for the second fiscal year,
and with this apparently large appro-
priation it has been impossible to give
the old soldiers over $16 a quarter.
While the old soldiers are dying at
quite a rapid rate the increase is by
far in exces4 of the death rate.
Wind In Ellis County.
Waxabachie, Tex., Sept. 5.—A ter-

bachie late Friday afternoon, resulting
in extensive damage to crops and
other property. The storm occurred
between 4 and 5 c^clock, lasting prob-
ably thirty* five or forty minutes. FQr

To friendships pure and sacred shrine,
My lovely tribute I would bring,
While to love's fragrant memory
My thoughts in fond affections cling.
A casket in another home, a new
mound in the cemetery, a vacant chair
around another hearth-stone, all tell
of anxious nights, of wearisome days,
broken hearts and blighted hopes.
But we are given these experiences
to break us away from the world, to
deepen our sympathy, to strengthen
our trust, to inspire hope and to re-
mind us of our kinship with God.
On Aug. 13, 1908, at Peerless, Texas,
“the Great Lover of Souls” gathered
to His bosom the noble spirit of .Mrs.
V. F. Dial, the beloved wife of J. W.
Dial and the mother of John, Joe,
Ben and Carrie Dial, in the 58th year
of her age.
She was born in Pontotoc, Miss.,
Jan. 23. 1850. Early in life she evinced
a bright and energetic nature, coupled
with an unbounded zeal, and a fond-
ness for the beantifnl, and all that
makes home bright and attractive.
She was converted at the age of 16
years, but dief not unite with
church until after coming to Te
some years later, when she joined
the Protestant Methodist chnrch at
Peerless.

To comply with their ever wish was
her desire, and the greatest thought of
her heart was to. make boms happy,
ever leaning on the blessed Saviour
as her strength and comfort.
Just before her death, she spoke of
dying, and said “I am prepared to go”
as she shonted praises to God. Then
she became restless and seemed
anxious for something, though her
lips failed to give utterance to the
intense longing of her heart. In
afternoon just as her last son,
whom they had sent, reach
bedside, she smiled sueh a-
happy smile and sank info a
peaceful sleep, and just before
night her peaceful soul was bee
away to ‘’Realms beyond the sky.
