Fort Wayne, Ind.--Eleven persons are known to be dead, several are missing and a dozen persons are seri­ ously injured as the result of a fife that wiped out the New Aveline hotel early Sunday morning. The known dead are: Frank C. Bax­ ter, Auburn, Ind., attorney; Miss May Burkett, Mishawaka, Ind., nurse at the Mishawaka Orphans' home; J. W. De- viney, Camden, N. J., ,43 years old, chief traveling representative of Craw­ ford & Lehman, poultry dealers of Philadelphia; E. J. Ellis, Chicago, salesman for Carson, Pirie, Scott & Co.; Sarah Hathaway, Mishawaka, Ind., traveling agent of the orphans* home at Mishawaka, Ind.; Maurice Hirsch, Chiteago, salesman for the Pa­ cific Coast Borax company; Robert 8. Johnson, Pana, 111., traveling sales­ man, formerly a merchant in Pana, 46 years old; J. B. Miller, Philadelphia, salesman few Brickner woolen mills, Sheboygan Falls, Wis.; W. A. Pitcher, Duluth, Minn., 36 years old, traveling salesman for Bowser company of Fort Wayne; body of unidentified man, consisting only of trunk and head al­ most burned off; unidentified body of man, so badly burned as to he practi­ cally unrecognizable. I Two Known to Be Missing. ' The only persons known to be miss­ ing are Charles Benjamin, a salesman, of Detroit, and Herman Seligman, of New York. 1 Coroner Kesler has begun an in­ quiry into the fire and summoned as witnesses all persons connected with the hotel and all guests remaining in the city. It is practically established that the( fire started in the boiler room in the basement. The timbers leading from the engine room, which were uncov­ ered by the firemen, show the path­ way of the flames 'to the elevator shaft Bodies in Mass of Wreckage. The complete destruction of the in­ terior of the hotel makes the work of recovering bodies a task of great ,difficulty. A confused heap of charred wood, bricks and twisted girders is piled up between the bare walls to the Becond story. Piece by piece .this must be removed before the roll of the dead can be completed. Some of the bodies taken out are mangled and charred beyond recognition and the work of identification is in these cases a task almost baffling. j Infantry company D and battery B of the National Guard are on duty and aiding the fire and police forces to clear away the debris. Night Clerk Saves Many. The fire was discovered at 3:20 in the morning in the elevator shaft by Night Clerk Ralph Hopkins. He rushed to the upper floors, alarming the guests, until the flames, which had spread with appalling rapidity, drove him back. His efforts, however, saved many lives. The hotel was erected half a century ago and the woodwork was dry as tinder. It burned like matchwood and within a few minutes from the time the fire was discovered the whole interior of the hotel was a mass of flames that filled the corridors rod rooms with suffocating clouds of smoke and laid fiery barriers across all means of escape save by the win­ dows. The lire department rescued many by means of ladders, but some, fren­ zied by the onward rush of the flames, 'eaped from high windows to the oaved street. Man Leaps and Is Killed. R. S. Johnson of Pana, 111., jumped from the fifth story. His body struck i balcony and bounded far into the ?treet. He was a crushed and bleed- ng mass when picked up and died a short time later in St Joseph's hos­ pital. As the fury of the flames increased, uen and women were seen in the win- lows of their rooms, where they wild­ ly implored help. Some did' not wait for the efforts of the flremen and leaped to the street. Several were seriously Injured in this way. Those ! who got from their rooms before the (flames cut off their retreat were able jto make their way to the fire escape and so were saved with comparative ease. Soon the flames broke from the windows and curled about the fire- escapes. Some of the more hardy ones braved the flames and made their way through smoke and lire down the iron stairwayft. Some Thrilling Escapes, i There were many thrilling escapes. Claude H. Varnell of the F6rt Wayne baseball team, his slster; Mrs. John Hendricks, and John Hendricks of Chi­ cago, manager of the Fort Wayne team, together with Master Hendricks, aged five years, barely escaped with Official notice is sent out from Washington warning the public against two counterfeits that have just appeared. One is a $10 United 8tates note or "greenback" and the other a $20 gold certificate. As the counterfeits are poorly executed and the workmanship Is of an inferior or­ der those accustomed to handling cur­ rency should not be easily deceived. On the whole there is little counter­ feiting of this sort nowadays, and a moderate amount of watchfulness will enable almost any person to avoid being swindled. their lives. Varnell tost all his' per­ sonal belongings v»!ued at several thousand dollars. Hendricks, with his wife ahead of him and his boy in his arms, was descending the fire escape from the fifth floor. At the third floor the fire broke out below them. He swung Mrs. Hendricks over the railing and she dropped to the platform of the story below. He then dropped i>i» son into the waltitig arms of his wife and all made their way to the ground. When the fire was at its height a man at a third-story window was seen wildly waving his arms. He shrieked: "My God! Men, save, me! Will no one save me ?" and then leaped from the window and went whirling to the pavement below. He was picked up desperately hurt He was E. M. Mat­ thews of Columbus, O. May Be Seme In Ruins. Many who were thought dead in the ruins were found to be alive through having 6ent telegrams to their homes. That there are still some bodies in the ruins is the belief of Fire Chief Hilbrecht and Chief of Po­ lice Anckenbruck. A guest on the fifth floor, who was aroused at the outbreak of the fire and escaped, says he believes very few on the fifth floor or in the rooms in the mansard escaped. Other bodies are believed to he at the foot of the, elevator shaft. Hotel Building Was Old. The New Aveline hotel was a six- story building of brick in the business center of the city. Its, erection was begun in 1852, but it was not com­ pleted until several years later. In 1895 the building was extensively re­ modeled and two stories were added. The hotel and furnishings were valued at $80,000. Throughout the framework of the interior was of wood, dried like tinder from a half century's seasoning and it burned with great rapidity. Within a quarter of an hour from the time the fire was discovered in the elevator shaft, practically the entire building was wrapped in flames. The whole in­ terior became a roaring furnace and from basement to roof all was blazing at once. In rapid succession the floors fell to the basement, carrying their toll of dead. Other occupants of the hotel block and their losses are: Jones & Stevens, proprietors hotel, personal, $5,000; G. H. Brown, saloon, $10,000; C. B. Wood- worth & Co., drugs, $6,000; Postal Telegraph company, $2,000; Strauss Bros., bankers, $2,000; George Stretch­ er, barber shop, $2,500; Lee Ivins, cigars and news stand, $6,000; Bass block, adjoining hotel, $1,500. All losses in the hotel • block save the Strauss bank were total. The bank vaults are intact. Losses are fully in­ sured. Escape But Lose Clothing. John P. Strohecher of New York, after %a thrilling escape from death in the flames, reached the ground almost naked. He had no time to gather up his apparel, the flames having burst into his room before he was awakened. Scores of men and women reached the ground with nothing on but their night clothes. None of the guests had time to save their effects. Dry goods and clothing stores were thrown open to men and women and all who needed apparel were supplied without ques­ tion. R. S. Lewis of Chicago was driven from his room on the third floor to the window ledge. The flames were lap­ ping about him and he swung down from window to window. Firemen hoisted a ladder to aid him, but it became entangled in wires. Lewis •became exhausted, his grasp lossened ana he dropped just as the ladder was raised under his feet, but he managed to save himself. A. R. Sallot of New York had an al­ most similar experience. The flames were in his room when he awoke. He groped his way through the smoke to a window and crawled out upon the ledge and clung there precariously, edging away an inch at a time as the flames curled from the window. He was just about to take chances in a leap of four stories to the hard as­ phalt beneath when a hand was thrust down to him from the roof adjoining and he was pulled to Bafety. Six Die in Brooklyn Fire. New York.--An early Sunday morn­ ing fire in a four-story brick tenement at No. 17 Humboldt street, a thickly populated district of Brooklyn, eaused the death of six persons and the seri­ ous injury of four others. Every member of one family, con­ sisting of mother and four children, are among the dead. There were many thrilling rescues by police and firemen.

Ceremonies Are Stately'--Union 8eals Understanding Between the Countries. St Petersburg.--Prince Wilhelm of Sweden, second son of King Gustave, the popular sailor prince who visited America in 1907, was married Sunday afternoon to Grand Duchess Marie Pavilovna, cousin of the emperor of Russia and daughter of Grand Duke Paul Alexandrovitch. The ceremony took place at Tsar- koe-Selo and was accompanied by all the pomp and brilliant display of color characteristic of the most stately court in Europe. ~ In the evening a great state ban­ quet was served, at which toasts were drunk to the good understanding be­ tween Sweden and Russia recently reached in the Baltic agreement, to which this wedding--the first in mod­ ern times between the ruling houses of the two countries--puts the seal. The beginning of the nuptial cere­ monies was announced by the firing of five guns simultaneously at nine o'clock in the morning by the battery at Tsarskoe-Selo and by the battery of St. Peter and St. Paul iji St. Peters­ burg. This was but the'beginning of the noisy acclamation, for the thunder of salutes was heard almost uninter­ ruptedly throughout the afternoon and the evening. The wedding guests who took part in the ceremony assembled at half- past two o'clock In the afternoon at the great palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, The robing of the bride was per­ formed in accordance with court cus­ tom in the private apartments of the empress. She was dressed by the em­ press and the dowager empress, assist­ ed by their maids of honor and their ladies-in-waiting. The bride wore on her head a jew­ eled diadem, and from her shoulders hung a long trained mantTe of straw­ berry velvet lined with ermine. In the procession the train of this gar­ ment was borne by five court cham­ berlains. BANDITS LOOT BANK OF $8,000. Angered Spouse. Kills Two. Battle Creek, Mich.^--Angered by an action for divorce started by his wife, Joseph B. Blunt, a liquor salesman,' broke into the home of Mrs. Blunt's parents here Saturday, where she was living with their children, and killed Ihls wife's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs, Homer S. Jones. Mrs. Blunt, who saw her parents killed, fled scant­ ily clad from the maddened man's re­ volver, rushing outdoors into a snow­ storm with her baby in her arms. Blunt then came down-town and gave himself up to the police. 'r.

Rome.--One of the greatest difficul­ ties in the way of a marriage between Prince Helie de Sagan and Mme. Anna Gould is the fact -that the Cath­ olic church, not recognizing divorce, has refused to annul Mme. Gould's first marriage. The prince is deter­ mined to marry Mme. Gould, and to this end he has decided to turn Protestant. This will enable the cott- pie to be united by both a civil and re- liglous marriage ceremony. If the prince remained a Catholic there could be no religious marriage. 8csndia State Institution Robbed by a Gang of 8ix Men. Crookston, Minn. -- Robbers bur­ glarized the Scandia State bank Wednesday and secured about $8,000. They terrorized the inhabitants by "shooting up" the town, and made good their escape.

Merdink got on the roof of his building, and when the robbers left the bank opened fire, sending 15 bul­ lets after them. The robbers fired a fusillade of shots. One robber was in­ jured, as bloodstains were found. GALE DISTURBS BATTLESHIPS. 8erious Accident Narrowly Averted In Harbor at Monterey. Monterey, Cal.--A northwest gale sweeping into the harbor gave the eight ships of the second division of the Atlantic fleet several hours of watchfulness Saturday night and cut off all communication with the shore. A serious accident was narrowly avert­ ed when the battleship Illinois, second in lind from the Alabama, flagship of Rear Admiral Sperry, parted her an­ chor chain in the height of the blow and went drifting toward the shore. The Illinois headed directly for the Alabama and it looked for a time as though a collision was imminent. But the helmsman managed to steer the drifting ship away and the only dam­ age done was the tearing away of the port gangway of the Alabama. The Illinois drifted fully 800 yards before her emergency anchors, sent spinning into the white-capped waters, finally held fast MYSTERIOUS DOUBLE MURDER.

"After an attack of rheumatism, running sores broke out on my hus­ band's legs, from below the knees to the ankles. There are no words to tell all the discomforts and great suf­ fering he had to endure night and day. He used every kind of remedy and three physicians treated him, one after the other, without any good results whatever. One day I ordered some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. He began to use them and in three weeks all the sores were died up. The burning fire stopped, and the pains became bear­ able. After three months he was quite well.

"After drinking coffee for breakfast I always felt languid and dull, having no ambition to get to my morning duties. Then in about an hour or so a weak, nervous derangement of the heart and stomach would come over me with such force I would frequently have to lie down. "At other times I had severe head­ aches; stomach finally became af­ fected and digestion so impaired that I had serious chronic dyspepsia ana constipation. A lady, for many years State President of the W. C. T. U., told me she had been greatly benefited by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee; she was troubled for years with asthma. She said it was no cross to quit coffee when she found she could have as delicious an article as Postum. "Another lady who had been trou­ bled with chronic dyspepsia for years, found immediate relief on ceasing cof­ fee and beginning Postum twice a day. She was wholly cured. Still another friend told me that Postum Food Coffee was a Godsend to her, her heart trouble having been relieved after leaving off coffee and taking on Postum.

He has come to realize fully that the slightest taint or hint of staleness left in a can, tin or churn may ruin a whole output; that the taint which is left is in the form of bacteria which grow and multiply in milk or butter, producing disastrous result*. The farmer has learned that hot water won't rinse away the greasy residue in dairy utensils. He has learned that soap leaves * residue of Its own which is, if any- thing, worse than the milk or cream residue, and it is little wonder that that there has been a constant clamor for a dairy cleanser and sweetener that will meet modern requirements. A few of the largest creamery es­ tablishments have called experts into consultation on this problem and have with this scientific aid hit upon a prod­ uct of nature which exactly fills the bill--borax. Scientists have long known borax a» a cleanser, a sweetener and an antl- eeptlc destroyer of bacteria and germ growths. Destroys all that is harm­ ful and promotes and preserves fresh­ ness, sweetness and purity, relieving - the dairyman and dairy housewife of drudgery and of needless work and worry. Its cheapness and value should give it first place In the necessities of every dairy.
