The awful disaster at Milwaukee last week IS a
nightful price to pay for experience in that dlrec-
9on, but IL seems that nothing short of the burn
hg of half dozen big hotels with all their inhabl-
tants, will be sufdc Gent insure the proper con-
sTuction of buildings intcnled for that purpose.
whether there has yet been enough destruction of
me ami property In that way to bring about a re-
form In the matter Is still an open question, in
view OF the greed OF capital and the ignorance and
ndiuerence OF those who serve it; but 1t Is GER

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Oct. %.
A fire broke out in the EUening Star
newspapersofhce early this morning. The
origins of thesire is a mystery. Ii started
in the northwest corner in the composing
room, quickly spreading in all directions.
The building was three stories high, owned
by Lathrop & Smith, lawyers, who had
offices on the second floor. The first floor
was occupied by the Star as counting
room, with tobacconists on either side. The
second floor was rented out for law offices,
and the third was used as the Stars COM
posing and editorial rooms, and the rooms
of the Union Publishing Company. The
fire department responded promptly, and
saved the building, but much damage was
caused by water The total loss is put at
about 81 900. 1t is divided as follows:
Lathrop & Smith, on building, $4,000; on
office, 500: E. L. Thornton, tobacconist,
SIC, 900. He is the heaviest loser, his stock
being ruined by water. r. C. Stockton, to-
bacconist. 81 goo; Evening Star Company,
$4,000; Boggess, Cravens & Moore, law
yers, $500; Homer Reed, c. D. Doggett,
Dobson & Douglass, all lawyers, 500 each
Union Publishing Company, 500. All the
losses were well covered by insurance, all
in Eastern companies. The Star announces
that it will issue as usual tomorrow.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. e.
A gang of young forgers operating in
Western Iowa have doubtless been broken
up by the capture of one of the principals
named Henry Stanley at Leon, Decatur
County. There were three of the lads en-
gagged in the business and they drew up
notes and forged the names of well-to-do
farmers to them and sold them. Stanley
disposed of the notes and received thirty
per cent. of the proceeds. They forged the
names of two farmers near Anita to two
notes for $500 and traded one to Meredith
& Dickey, dealers IN agricultural imple-
ments, for 500 in money and a $500 note.
When arrested Stanley had in possession
one of the notes already filed out.

The most disastrous sconfa grafton that
has visited this city for Ten years occurred
at $3.50 o'clock this morning, resulting in
the destruction of the buildings, machinery
and most of the stock of the Springfield
Wagon Manufacturing Company, two build
ings on the south belonging to Emory &
scholten, formerly used as a brewery, the
Pacific Hotel land a dwelling-house, both
located east of the factory. The fire origi-
mated in the drying-room of the wagon fac
tory, and when first discovered by James
Thompson, the Waterman, could have been
easjlY extinguished had few men with
buckets been present, but the grounds be-
ing filed with frame buildings, sheds and
wagon stock the flames spread with such
rapidity that by the time the alarm had
summoned the fire companies the principal
buildings were all sheets of flames. The.
water-works of this city have just been
completed, and hose for the fire company
were used, but with imperfect success,
owning to the non-arrival of nozzles. The
use Of the hose. however, checked the
spread Of the fire both on the, eastand
west, and the boys worked nobly. + There
was $50 900 worth of stock at the wagon fac
tory, a considerable portion of which, in
the way Of wheels and axles, were carried
out on the street, and saved. The loss Of
the wagon factory is. Approximately esti-
mated at $4,000. The total assurances
amounted to only about $4,000. Spring
field has lost its most valuable manufac-
tory except the Frisco shops, and the loss
throws seventy-five men out of employ
ment; but it is understood that the COM
pany will rebuild at an early date. II. F.
Fellows is President Of the company; f. A.
Wishart, Secretary; w. W. Fellows, Treas
urer, and John Massey, Superintendent.
