LATHR0P SCHOOL DESTROYED Besides the Second Presbyterian Church and Several Other Bandings CIncIn- natl Tenders a Hall for the 'Democratic National Convention. Kansas City, April 5.

Convention hall, the pride of Kansas City, the magnificent auditorium spread the city's fame, is a mass of charred and smoldering ruins. It caught fire at one o'clock Wednesday afternoon and burned with such fury that in 15 minutes it was almost totally destroyed. When the fire de partment arrived the magnificent structure was a roaring furnace, filled with destroying flames, beyond the power of man to subdue. A stiff wind was blowing from the southeast and the Lathrop school and the Second Presbyterian chruch, on Central street, and the Williamson blotk, just north of the hall an Twelfth street quickly caught fire and were destroyed. The burning brands were carried by the wind, setting several residences on fire and the firemen buckled down to fight a hard battle against strong odds.

People turned away sorrowfully from the spectacle of the doomed temple and the ques tion was oft repeated, "Can it be rebuilt in time for the national Dem ocratic -convention?" The heat was terrific, forcing people back even beyond the fire lines which had been quickly stretched on all the surrounding streets. The fire ran up and hown the steeple of the church, festooning it with garlands of red flames. In less than half an hour after the fire started the roof of the Convention hall fell in and the brick corinthian columns on the Thirteenth and the Central street facades of the building tottered a few moments and fell outward to the street with a terrible crash. The im mense steel trusses fell inward with a. muffled roar, sending showers of sparks high into the air.

The steel trusses are lying in a heap, twisted out of shape by the terrible heat. The solid masonry foundation walls alone withstood the flames and formed the walls of a furnace Avithin which all the combustible material burned fiercely. So rapid was the progress of the flames that the entire hall was on fire and beyond relief within five minutes after the fire w7as discovered. The Central Presbyterian church at the corner of Thirteenth and Central streets went next. It burned with remarkable fury.

The home of the pastor, the Eev. Dr. II. D. Jenkins, next door, a substantial house worth about $7,000, was swept up in the flames like a bit of kindling.

At two o'clock the row of buildings on Twelfth street north of Conven tion hall were all on fire and burn ing so fiercely that the firemen no tified the inmates to move their prop erty out, as the whole row was sure to burn to the ground. In this row were the buildings 215, 217, 219, 221, 223 and 225 West Twelfth street, all of them boarding houses. W. A. Kelly, the contractor, de clared that Convention hall could be rebuilt in 90 days.

lint he thought the construction of the roof would have to be materially different from that of the destroyed building, owing to the difficulty in securing the necessary steel. He said he could guaran tee to have up a substantial building before the national democratic con vention was called. The insurance on the, building amounts to $155,000, and is divided among 50 or 75 companies with agents in Kansas City. A Committeeman's Opinion. Washington, April 5.

Representative Clayton, of Alabama, one of the members of the national democratic committee, said that the destruction of the Convention hall in Kansas City would necessitate a meeting of the committee. "The hall," said he, "was one of the considerations which in duced the committee to select Kansas City. The committee will, of course, desire to know whether the agree ment to furnish a hall can be fulfilled by the people of Kansas City, and the representatives of that city will, I have no doubt, be equally anxious to inform the committee what they, can do to accommodate the convention." Cincinnati Wants the Convention. Cincinnati, April 5. The commit tee in charge of the great Cincinnati saengerf est building has just sent a telegram to Chairman Jones, of the democratic national convention, offering the hall for the democratic national convention in case it is con eluded that the convention must be taken from Kansas City.

The hall seats 15,000 people and is accessible from five lines of street cars, being lVmiles from the postoffice building. The Pan-American Congress. Washington, April 5.

S. B. Bate ma a Continues to Per form Marvelous Cures at His Sanitarium. Prof. S.

B. Bateman of the Modern school of Magnetic Healing, in the Ma- ban building, West Eighth street, con tinues to effect marvelous cures after all other physicians have given the patients up and abandoned them to what tfiey call "their inevitable fate." Cases where other doctors have failed to cure are Prof. Bateman's favorite work. Such cases clearly demonstrate the superiority of the new methods over the old ones. Prof.

Bateman's sanitarium is crowded daily with the sick and suffering seeking the relief which they never fail to get when they come here. Here only one case from many: Mrs. Hattie Watts, whose home is at Fifth and Pine streets, this city, has been suffering terribly from urethral pains since May 22, 1898, when she was injured in an accident. She tried many doctors but failed to get relief until she came to Prof. Bateman March 5, 1900.

After five treatments she suffered no pain and is now able to walk any distance and to do her own work. For five weeks before going to Prof. Bateman she was so sick she couldn't leave her bed. Her pains had never ceased from the day she was hurt until Prof. Bateman cured her.

Mrs. Watts, in an interview, could not say enough in praise of Prof. Bateman to whom she feels she owes her life. "With such cures as mine," said she, "it is no wonder that scores of people come here for treatment." Appearances are Everything!
