THE LOSS WILL REACH $27,000
Management Believe Institution Was
Set On Fire by Boys Who Desired
to Gain Tneir Liberty—Was Located
Near Lexington, Ky.
Lexington, Ky.. March 2d.—The
Bradley dormitory at the State School
of Reform, near this city, was destroy,
ed by lire shoitly after midnight, hut
a!! the inmates, numbering 125 hoys,
.were saved.
The fire was discovered In the third
story of the dormitory at 12:25 o'clock
by the night watchman. He at oner
notified Superintendent Doak. who
promptly aroused the inmates and got
them safely and without disorder out
of the building.
The officials and the hoys went to
.work to save the office furniture, but
the flames spread quickly and the dor-
mi tor>' was soon in ruins.
A telephone message was sent here
ibr help and the local fire department
quickly responded and an engine was
started at once. They had about 0
miles to go. and although they were
too late to save any part of the dor
mitory. they prevcnU-: the flames
spreading to the manual L mining build
ing. which is near the dormitory.
At 1:10 o'clock the dormitory col
lapsed. and at 2 o'clock the fire was
practically extlnrulghed.
The burned I r iding was erected in
3896 during the administration of for
mer Governor V. <). Bradley at a cost
of $25,000. and was insured for two-
thirds of its value.
The burning of the Bradley cottage
after midnight without Hie loss of one
of the 125 lives who were up when the
fire started is a marked instance of
the value of discipline. When the fire
started at 12:45 the watchman gave
the alarm and telephoned to Lexington
for an engine. The superintendent
and guards promptly aroused the boys,
and following the requirements of thn
fire drill, the last hoy was marched out
of the building Just before the root
foil In.
Two boys, inmates or the school, es-
'fetpea during the fire and nothing has
been heard of them. The manage
ment of the Institution heliovo that
tha building was set on fire by the
boys who desired to get away. They
bellove it was a plot for others to es
cape also, but the night watchman's
prompt action prevented It.
Advices received later show that
several of the hoys confessed that
the suspicion of the management was
correct, and that The building was set
on Are for the purpose of affording an
opportunity for a general escape. The
superintendent called out the guards,
And arming them with Winchesters
And shotguns held the toys completely
Under control

An Exci-lli-iit Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
Syrup or Fios, manufactured by the
California Fio Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tlvu, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling col ill, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
arc used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal quaUtiesof the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plnnts, l>y a method
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
