THERE WERE FOUR ALARMS DURING THE CELEBRATION RESIDENCE BUILDING DESTROYED, ANOTHER GUTTED OTHER LOSSES NOMINAL. Considering the high wind that prevailed in this dry time of the year, and that the firecrackers were thick and popping, Roman candles and skyrockets flying, Hanford can be thankful that there were only four calls turned In during the celebration of two nights and a day. Monday night was a wild one, and people were fearful of a flrey bath.

A force of firemen with Chief Kendall were on duty all night, hut there was no call. Everything was safe until about 3 p. m. Monday, when an alarm look the firemen to the rear of the store of Areia Thomas at 10G East Sixth street where fire had started in a bunch of boxes and a tight board fence. The fire was extinguished by use of buckets and a garden hose.

The second call came an hour later, and the residence of Manuel Sousa, 311 West Fourth street. The dwelling was a wooden shell and dry as tinder, with the bjsenu nt filled with wine and lumber. It is said that there was nobody in the house when the fire was discovered, and the cause was unknown. The building was one seething mass of flames in a minute, and the firemen, who arrived promptly, first saved the wooden houses situated close on either side, and the barn and haystack in the rear, and then put out the original fire, which had burned the building to a total loss. The Renters' Loan and Trust Co.

probably had insurance on building. At about 8 p. m. another alarm was sounded and the department made a prompt run to the corner of Harris and Third streets where a vacant house belonging to Grant Starkweather was on fire. It, too, was a wooden structure, and burned The firemen soon had it controlled.

Cause of fire is attributed to a falling and burning skyrocket. While a portion of the fire department was working at this fire another alarm was turned in from the residence of Chas. Harding at 118 East Seventh street A rocket or firecracker had fired some dry stuff in the back yard, and the firemen soon put that out This was the last alarm of the night and the tired firemen who had been on duty for bo long and had worked like a band of troopers were not sorry, although a force was kept ready for any emergency all night MANY HURT IN EASTERN CELEBRATIONS Philadelphia, July 6.

ECONOMY 1ST BE PRACTICED June, the last month in the government's fiscal year, is a trying period for the heads of departments, their division chiefs and the clerks. Tho appropriations made by congress for tho previous year are either petering out in which case the bureau chief must manage his office cn a basis of economy, almost penury or else there Is so much money left of the old appropriation that the chief hunts desperately for some way in which to get rid of it for all unexpended amounts revert back Into the treasury, and tho chief feels the stigma keenly If he doesnt spend all of his appropriation. Besides, if he leaves any, congress next year may cut out his estimates.

Hence it comes that while one bureau chief Is desperately endeavoring to make ends meet and tide over the last few days of the passing fiscal year on the barest possible capital, another Is lavishly purchasing new furniture, ordering stacks of stationery and other luxuries. Most of the departmental chiefs, however, find themselves short There is plenty of evidence of this economy. For instance, the bureau of manufactures of the department of commerce and labor Issues every day in the year a pamphlet entitled Daily Consular and Trade Reports." Up until a few weeks ago this periodl cal had a most prosperous appear ance. It rarely ran less thar eight pages generally sixteen. For the last few weeks, however, it has been condensed Into four pages dally.

The bureau cf manufactures has about used up its printing fund for the fiscal year and has to econulze on typesetting and press work. On July 1, when the new appropriation becomes available, the Dally Consular and Trade Reports will blossom out again in its sixteen page form. The government printing offlee always lacks work during the month of June. And, too, beginning with July 1, the big prlntery is always confronted with an influx cf printing for the various bureaus. For a big offlee like the bureau of publications of the department of agriculture, for instance, which prints and distributes more publications than all of the other government bureaus combined, it is a task of no small magnitude to arrange the appropriation so that it will last through the whole year.

The last month of the fiscal year always finds that bureau hard-up and it takes flnan-ceering of the highest possible order to make the money last. HARVESTING BARLEY Lyman Follett was up from tho lake country Monday enjoying the celebration. He has been engaged ss engineer for Wyllys Hall, near Corcoran, and states they have Just finished harvesting 17,000 sacks of barley. Mr. Hall has some grain that is troubled by seepage water from Cross Crock, and will immediately install a pumping plant and drain off about seventy acres and then the grain on the same can be harvested.

MAY GO TO PANAMA Atlanta, July 7. Commercial clubs and boards of trade from Maryland to Texas are represented by their sec-; rotaries and other officials at the important southern industrial development convention opened in Atlanta to-; day. Various projects for booming tho south are under consideration, It is likely that New Orlenns will bo selected for the next convention, and In that case the delegates may make a trip to Panama to inspect the great ditch which will play such an Important part In the future commercial greatness of the new south.

S9 THREW COAL IT TAFTS TRAIN (By United Press.) New York. July 6.

A chunk of anthracite coal weighing nearly four pounds was hurled at President Tafts special train just after it left New London last night for New York. The missile crashed through the window of the coach next to the one occupied by the President, smashing the glass with sufficient force to have killed any one that It struck. The secret service men accompanying Taft are investigating the case. It is thought that the perpetrators of the deed misjudged the coach in which Taft and party were riding. All the windows of the Mayflower, Taft's car, were closed at the time of the incident.

On arrival of the train here the President left for Fort TIcondercga at 7:45 this morning in the Mayflower attached to the regular train.

Farmers of this county are all het up" today over a no fence election, and not since John Jones's boy, Ezekiel, eloped to Atlanta with Araminty Flapdoodle has there been so much excitement in our midst. if the law should pass, that class of citizens which make their livelihood by raising their cattle and hogs on the lands of other people, not being landowners themselves, would be forced to go to work or move out and make room for a more thrifty class of farmers. The great crowd or people that attended the ball game between the Hanford and Lemoore teams Monday saw a contest that was as Interesting as any played on the home grounds during the present season.

The Lemoore team came loaded for bear, with that chip on their shoulder challenging any amateur team In valley, and both teams were strictly on their mettle to win. Lemoore went at the work with a vengeance, and up to the beginning of the 4th inuing had plied up a list of 9 runs, while in the same time the local boys had been able only to score five men. In the last half of tho third Inning, however, there was a change, and there camq that fateful moment for the Hanford boys when they had succeeded in filling the bases, and It was Tognerio's turn to bat. The little first baseman was equal to the occasion, for he made one of the safest hits of the game, and when Gordenler, Martin and Ragan scored the Hanford "rooters" fairly tore their hair with joy. The score was then 8 and 9 in favor of Lemoore.

In the 4th inning C. Troutner was substituted for Spradlin as catcher and Spradlin went to second base. The remainder of the game was a pitcher's battle to the middle of the 9th inning and neither side was able to score, and the game was full of throwing to bases, and pretty plays. The two runs that won the game for Lemoore were mado by Blank and Crouch, and the Hanford team started in on the last half of the ninth with score 10 to 8 in Lemoore's favor staring them In the face. They had a chance, however, and took it, but fortune was against them and the requisite three went out before a run was and Lemoore had won 10 to 8.

Pete Newport umpired the game, and gave entire satisfaction to players and spectators. The following was the lineup and batting order of the teams: Hanford C. Troutner, 2b; R. Newport, if; Spradlin, Ilefton, Rodgers. cf; Gordenier, rf; Ragan, ss; Martin, 3b; Tognerio, lb.

Lemoore Chico, Whitney, ss; Apierson, 2b; Blank, Curry, 3b; Crouch, If; Crabtree, cf; Warrenburg, lb; Sandow, rf; Rose, substitute. SUNDAY'S GAME Hanford broke all former records Sunday by winning its second, consecutive game. Two games In two weeks is going some, and makes one think we have a ball team at last. Rlverdalo was our guest and It was a rattling good game, too. There were few strike outs, but plenty of hitting the ball, judiciously spiced with errors.

Neither team seemed able to pay dividends on class in the first few Innings, but arter Hanford got its gate 'Jh class was there, and Rlverdale bad about as much show to win as the White Sox have of copping the A. L. rag this year. And yet they played a good game. But Hanford was too stiff a proposition for them.

If the race is not always to the swift, and If the snail once beat the Jiare, it's no sign that Corcoran and Rlverdale, Lemoore and the rest of these teams will ever beat Hanford again. There was no pay dirt In sight in the sixth when Rlverdale got the bases full with none out. Things did look a little dubious for a fact, with the laurel wreath lying around loose it was then that Hanford tightened up and retired them with one lone score, a very creditable exhibition of baseball. Another pleasant feature to the game, and a good omen for future victories, was Hanford's ability to hunt the ball, and in most cases It would be a safe bunt and good for a base. Hanford also bad the distinction of making the only double play of the game Hawley to Martin to Fredericks.

Eight to three was the final score. Instead of being sore because they lost, Rlverdale should be thankful they got those three scores before Hanford fully got in the game. A good crowd was there pulling bard for the town team, and with a winning team, which we will henceforth have, this should be as good a ball town as there is in the lower valley. If Visalia, Parlier, or some other of those haughty little burgs that considered Hanford's ball team a scream, will come here after we've got our park finished we will cram It all down their throats beat them so bad that they will be wishing to spend the rest of their days in Goshen. MAYBY" SELLING VEHICLES M.

San Francisco, July 6 The decision giving the fight between Ketchell and Papke yesterday to Ketchell In the 20th round wa3 roasted by Sherwood Becker, tho boy mayor of Milwaukee, who said to a reporter of the United Press after the fight, It wa3 the rawest, rottenest and rankest decision ever given In the prize ring. It was a direct steal for Ketchell, and was undoubtedly due to the fact that Ketchell was a heavy favorite. Decisions like this will kill the fighting game.

As has been invariably the case in the early history of all leading nations of the earth, great confusion and civil discord existed in the empire of China in its first stages.

It was divided into petty princedoms, each prince striving to outwit the other, and all anxiously aiming at the supreme power of the land, till the Emperor Chi-hoang-ti, who came to the throne about three hundred years before the Christian Era, conquered the whole of the jealous petty princes, and united their states into one vast empire. But no sooner had he achieved this than the Tartars began to be troublesome, and, hoping to exclude their invasions, this emperor caused to be constructed the great wall of China. This stupendous wall extends across the northern boundary of the Chinese Empire, and forms the barrier between China and Mongolia, and is one of the most wonderful monuments of human Industry in the world. It took about ten years to complete it, several million' men working un-lemittently in Its construction. The wall is carried over the summits of high mountains, across deep valleys, and over wide rivers by means of arches.

In many parts it Is doubled or trebled, to command Important passes. It 13 built In the most substantial manner, especially toward its eastern extremity, where it extends by a massive levee into the sea, in which portion the workmen were required, under penalty of death, to fit the stones so exactly that even a nail could nowhere be Inserted between the joints. In some parts, where le3S danger was apprehended, It is not equally as strong, and toward the northwest consists of a wall two feet thick on each side of the structure, the lower part of which is composed of hewn stone and the upper part of brick, the intermediate space being filled with earth, forming a very firm rampart. The wall Is fifteen hundred miles long, twenty-five feet high and twenty feet thick at the top. Six horsemen can easily ride abreast on its summit.

Towers are placed along its whole extent every one hundred yards, which was considered twice the distance an arrow could be shot, so that every part of the wall might be within the reach of the archers stationed in the towers. These towers, or massive bastions, which are square, are forty-eight feet high and forty feet In width. The stone employed in the foundations, angles and towers is a strong, gray granite, but the upper part of the wall is made of bluish bricks and a remarkably pure and white mortar. It is estimated that the materials employed in this Immense fortification would be sufficient to construct a wall six feet high and two feet thick twice around the world. The Boys' World.

OVER THIRTY-FIVE YEARS In 1872 there was a great deal of diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera infantum. It was at this time that Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was first brought Into use. It proved more successful than any other remedy or treatment, and has for thirty-five years maintained that record.

From a small beginning its sale and use has extended to every part of the United States and to many foreign countries. Nine druggists out of ten will recommend it when their opinion is asked, although they have other medicines that pay them a greater profit. It can always be depended upon, even in the most severe and dangerous cases.
