Ing. had their means of escape cut off
until the firemen placed ladders to the
rear windows on South Market Street
and carried the frightened girls to
safely.
The fire started in the basement. et
the King Street front of the store, pre-
sumably in a quantity of ootton, but
what caused it is not definitely known.
Mr. B. 11. MaeAuley visited tho base.
tient about 11.30 o'clock, but at that
time there was no sign of what even-
tually (kvelogxtl into the most serious
conflagration in the firm's history.
A few minutes after noon, while the
bike sh-wmoms were well filled with
customers, an employe smelled smoke
and a second later say a tiny curl is-
suing from a fixture directly behind
him. Word was soon passed to the
customers and the store was emptied
el all but employes without the slight-
est disorder. In the meantime dense
smoke had (flied the basement and
pouted up the elevator shaft to the up-
per floors. 1t beteg dinner hour, many
clerks were away from the store. 'their
cr four girls working us dis ssmakers
en the upper floor, were nearly suftocat-

aged her to hold on. At last the big
truck was hoisted by firemen and two
girls rescued, nearly exhausted. An -
ether girl was taken out of the front en-
trance on King Street by two of the sal-
vage corps almost overcome with snueke.
While the firemen were rescuing
t'(se girls by the rear window an-
other young w.in►un appeared at a big
bow window on the King Street side
cf the third floor. It was feared she
would jump to the street, but the fire-
men carne to her rescue.
The flames were confined to the base-
ment where the flre started. The whole
od the splendid plate glass front was
shattered by tho firemen, and much of
the flooring on the lower floor was rip•
ped up.
Firemen who were working in the
cellar had a very narrow escape about
o'clock. They !tad just gotten out of.
the cellar when the first iloor gave way,
and MI into the cellar.

THIRD ADVANCE IN FIAI'11.
High Price of Wheal (:aures .tnolher
Jump at Winnipeg.
A despatch from Winnipeg says : The
jumping wheat tnprket has had its in-
evitable effect oftill further ruislpg the
price of flour. Friday at noon u further
advance of 10 cents a bag on all grades
of flour look effect, and this is the third
advance in price in lees than u fort-
night, making an increase altogether of
G0 cents on some grades el flour and 50
cents on others. The poor consolation is
offered the Winnipeg public of knowing
that so far the price of flour has not been
increased by the stills in proportion to
the advancing prices of wheat. Now
comes this latest addition to the prices
and the consumers of bread can appar-
ently stake up their minds that flour
will ascend still higher, and that they 1
will not decline for a long time ahead.
The two first advances have not resulted'
et (ho bakers raising the price of bread,
but with Friday's addition it Ls a fere- •
gone conclusion that th.• consumer must
pay more for Iris bread. 1

rural districts, keeping the whole popu-
tenon in a slate of nervous irritation.
The members go armed with spears,
