The suicide of John w. Flora, of La
Cygne, at the state insane asylum in this
city last week was part of the bitter har-
vest of the havoc wrought by Robert
Kincaid, who recklessly ruined 50 many
people in Linn county by his banking
operations last summer. Flora was the
vice president of the bank, and when
the crash came, he was SO overwhelmed
that he never recovered. His mind be-
gan to fail. and he was finally brought
to the Topeka asylum. No one cast the
shadow of a suspicion on Mr.. Flora, but
he suffered a remorse as great as if he
had been directly responsible for the
whole affair. It is said he had implicit
child-like faith in the ability and integ-
rity of Robert Kincaid The sad ending
of John w. Flora may go far toward
convincing many that men who have
money invested in the banking business
have feelings as, sensitive as other peo-
pie, although when q bank fails many
people act as if the failure were deliber-
ately planned in cold blood to beat them
out of their money.

AFTER THE BOSTON FIRE



Boston, May ia stretch of smok-
ing, blackened ruins, covering more than
a dozen acres, shows the scene of last
nights fire. Household furniture and
property of every description filters the
streets, and hundreds of those made
homeless by the fire are vainly searching
the ruins of their houses in the hope of
finding something of value remaining.
About half million dollars worth of
property was destroyed. One hundred
buildings, over two-thirds of which were
wooden structures were consumed and
twenty more were partially burned. For
the most part they were occupied by the
poorer classes and $50 families, or more
than 900 people are homeless.
The Boston baseball association and the
city of Boston are the heaviest losers.
The property of the former is valued at
$4,000 and is a total loss; the city's loss
is over 100000 But one fatality has
been reported A 3-months old babe was
suffocated Seventeen persons were in
jured; none of them seriously. Nearly a
dozen invalids residing in houses now in
ruins, were conveyed to the hospitals
during the fire.
During the night fire started again in
the top of brick block on the west side
of Cabot street and burned for an hour.
The building was destroyed

The Tariff Bill Will Have Passed the

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator Brice
stands by his original proposition that
the 10th of June will. see the tariff bill
through the senate. He was discussing
the Fumor current about the senate that
another Democratic conference was to be
held. what is the use of it, he asked,
''we are getting on in good shape and we
shall come through on schedule time.
Every vote taken on the amendments
shows a safe Democratic majority and
with as much rapidity as could be ex-
pected at this stage. You have not no
ticed any defections in the Democratic
ranks yet have your"
Senator Hill is absent, but he is paired
on the amendments with Senator Lodge.
He is for them and Lodge against sob,
yes; there may be some trouble on the
income tax when that is reached, but it
will be gotten over and the bill will go
on its way. / look to see the opposition
melt away, and the collapse will prob
ably be sudden and unexpected when it
does come, just as it was whom the silver
repeal bill was up. / said that the bill
would pass long before the final vote was
reached Well, it did pass; SO will the
end come in this case, and it will be
reached by the same methods. On the
18th of October the opposition to the re-
peal of the Sherman law was apparently
as strong as 1t had been at any time since
the debate had begun; on the Goth it was
all over. This talk of there being fouS,
five or seven Democratic senators op-
posed to the pending bill, which we
hear from our friends on the Republican
side is all in the air, and they will see
their mistake soon.
eve are getting ON in way to contra

away in the face of facts that must con-
vince them. Cloture? / doubt it, that

To Take the Picture Gallery from Munich

To Take the Picture Gallery from Munich
Since 1t Popular.
BERLIN, May 16.-Emperor William
received deputation from the city of
Munich, which called upon him to ex-
press the appreciation of the citizens of
Munich of the fact that the emperor had
decided to leave undisturbed in that city
the famous picture gallery which the
late Count Won Setback bequeathed to
the emperor The residents of Munich
are very proud of this gallery
and in token of their gratitude
at having it remain among
them intend to erect statue in honor of
Emperor William and inscribe it with
his majesty's telegram notifying the
municipality of Munich of his decision
not to transfer the gallery to Berlin.
Replying to the address of the Munich
depution Emperor William said that he
was pleased to give Munich testimony Of
the imperial favor.
The emperor's course in this affair was
dictated by good politics. The removal
of the collection from Munich would I'M
questionably have fostered anti-imperial
tendencies in the South German states.

JONES' WOOD FIRE SWEPT.
A New York Resort Burned and Many
Other Building Destroyed.

Other Buildings Destroyed.
New YORK, May 16.-Fire starting in
wooden buildings in an enclosure known
as Jones' Wood at avenue A. and Sixty
eighth street today spread over four
blocks between Sixty-Seventh and
Seventy First streets Avenue A and the
East river. Over 100000 damage was
done.
The sudden changing of the wind
caused the fire to spread when the fire
men thought they had it under control.
Fifty horses were burned to death and a
number of persons were I'M ured.
Twelve minutes after the discovery of
the flames the enormous dancing pavil-
ion, the two tiers of seats and galleries
Of the wood were a mass of flames. A
stiff southwest wind carried the flames
towards the river. Then the wind
changed again and turned the flames to-
wards Avenue A. The fire seized the
fiimsy building and in five minutes the
great wooden towers at the entrance of
the wood on Avenue A were burning, to-
gether with the line of buildings along
Sixty eighth street
The buildings on the north side of
10th street also caught. The buildings
the firemen were compelled to desert it.
The engine was buried beneath the ruins
and crushed and twisted out of shape.
This engine which was known as the
s1SifveF King" had been in the depart
ment "a years. Tenants of the build
inos burned were unable to save any of
their household effects.
The stone works of B. A. and N. @.
Williams, one of the best equipped con-
Germs of the kind in the United States,
were destroyed. As many as $50

THE Republicans of Larned and Paw
nee county who want Billy Edwards
nominated for secretary of state are con-
siderably annoyed by the canvass of Sen
ator j. w. Rush, of the same county,
who wants to be lieutenant governor. If
Rush is nominated for lieutenant gov
ernor, of course Edwards, from the same
county. can't get the nomination for Sec
rotary of state. In the Pawnee county
convention, the delegates were instructed
to do all they could for Edwards, and
Rush's name was not mentioned. This
seems to indicate that Pawnee has a ia
vorite son and that Edwards is his name.
