1T SEEMS now that more unfortuultes
perished In the dcs rucIive fire at st. Louis
than was at first reported. There were
two hundred employees in the building.
and thus far but one hundred and forty
have reported. 1t is also said that the aver
age daily number of guests was three hun.
dred, and that only two hundred have re.
ported as having escaped the ruin of Tues.
day night These figures leave one hun.
dred and twenty as yet uusccounted for,
and feaIs are entertained that the most Of
them perished in the flames. 1t Ia hoped
that these figures will yet be reduced by
the reporting of many that are now miss.

THE New York Commercial Adsertissr
says that comparison of tho difference be-
tween Louisiana at the time KELLo8s en-.
tered the Governors chair and the time he
left II, shows that. as far as that State Is
concerned, the rule of the carpet. .bsggcr"
was not quite 80 black as 1t has boen painted.
The carpet. baeger regarded In any light is
not the most fascinating creature on the
footstool, but he is to be preferred at any
moment to the bull-dozer. When KEL.
Looe went into Office he found State debt
of $23, 600. 900 and State tax of 2a. miliA
When he left Office the debt had been TO.
duced to less than $40. 0o0. 900 and the tar
to 14t mills. Perhaps . Democratic I'd.
ministration would have done better, bu,
NICHOLS has started out In q way tha;
promises to increase the debt again.
