KRUEGER'S LOSS BY FIRE.
His Drug Store at Fifih aud broadway
Burned Out-Thc Origin of the Fire
IL Nh J>upyu.

Fire at Justice q. w krueger's drug
store No. iOl West Fifth street, caused
about 81 500 loss to the contents and about
s2oO loss to the building last night at 10
o'clock, according to the fire departments
estimates. Justice Kruger thinks his loss
will amount to considerably more than
the figure given, as he valued his stock at
between 5000 and $4,000 including an Of
flee library which cost him $500. and
thinks there VIII turn out to be a loss Of
about two-thirds of the total value. The
origin of the FIRE Is mystery. yhe in
surancc on the contents of the drug store
was about $500 aud on Justice krueger's
private library. $3.50
II was Just 1906 o'clock when the alarm
was turned in y moment prior to that
time Richard krueger brother of the
store. according to his account of the
affair, ran out of the Broadway entrance
TO the drug store and across to Alderman
John Moran's saloon, where the alarm
was turned in. a moment later there was
terrific report. as of an explosion in the
drug store, that could he heard two or
three blocks away. The hose reel at No.
6 engine house, not far distant from the
fire, had been out on another run and the
therefore, made quick time in response to
the alarm but when it arrived the entire
interior of the drug store was in flames
streams of water We're soon playing on
the fire.
Some fears We're entertained for occu-
pants of the upper floor of the two-story
brick building in which Krueser's drug
store is located, smoke was pouring
into it, but when fremen went through it
they found that no one was in the rooms.
The front rooms were occupied by DIR.
l8rownlee and his wife and the rear rooms
by Justice Kruger ana his household. but
all of them except Justice krueger's faith
er We're absent at the graduating exercises
of the Kansas City Medical college at the
Auditorium, one of Justice Kruegers
brothers being one of the graduates.
Richard Krueger advanced the theory
That the fire might have started from n
lighted cigar or cigarette carelessly thrown
into Il heap of straw in the prescription
room that had been taken from around a
heavy invoice Of lamp chimneys. He said
that shortly before the flames burst out
three or -four people passed in and out OF
the drug store to use the telephone In the
rear of the prescription case He was
seated at the front door of the drug store
reading he says, when suddenly the flames
burst forth in the rear of the room and
We're carried forward toward the front
door by such an intense current of heat
that he had barely time TO make his es-
cape from the building. Eugene MASTER
son. who works AZ Bowers machine shop
NO 222 West Fifth street, says he was
standing at the Fifth street door of the
drug store at the time and his account OF
the bursting out of the fire was similar TO
mat given by krueger 1t Is believed that
the explosion heard in the drug store was
caused by some chameical.

Two years ago a bill was introduced
into the lower house of Missouri's legis-
lature which aimed to further the collec-
ton of small debts by authorizing a levy
upon the household furniture of a fami-
ly. The measure met so powerful an op-
position from the people that it failed of
passage.
Now similar, but somewhat amended,
measure is about to be introduced 1t
contemplates among ether things to al
low the garnishment of one-ffth of the
wages earned by the head of family.
Under the present law heads of families
are safe from garnishment, except when
the accumulation of wages exceeds thir-
ty days. 1t does seem as though the pub
lie was at enough expense under the
present laws for the collection of debt,
without adding any other facilities for
the purpose of allowing the whole ma
chinery of government to be set in mo-
ton simply to enable one in dividual to
enforce a contract with another individ-
ual. when it does not concern anybody
else in any way whatever.

LOGAN CARLISLE, son of Secretary
Carlisle, who has the "power of life and
death" over the subordinates in that de-
partment, is considerable of a brute.
William E. Curtis, the newspaper writer,

hear of an old soldier, who, after hav-
ing been in the treasury department for
more than twentv-three years, received
a New Years gift in the form of re-
duction of his salary from 81, 800 to $840
year There is no question about his
qualifications or industry, but he is Re-
publican and his place was wanted by a
Democrat As a special favor he will be
allowed to continue the same work he
always performed at less than half his
former salary. am told that when he

an explanation of this extraordinary
treatment, Logan Carlisle replied; This

HUNGRY ONES.

That is the Average Number Given Soup
Dinners by the Associated Charities.
Every day at noon there is busy scene
at the headquarters of the Associated
Charities. Noon is ''soup time" there,
and often after early in the forenoon
there are people waiting for chance to
get up to the long bare table that is used
as festal board.
Yesterday there were thirty four hun
CRY, ill-clad poor prople-men, women
and chlldren-waitiug for their dinners
when the soup hour came, and there were
about the same number today.
In the back rooms are great piles of
cast-of clothing ready to be claimed by
some of the deserving poor they will fit.
There are provisions, Also One side
of one room is devoted to -four, and there
are piles of it.
There is one thing the association is
sadly in need of, and that is shoes. One
poor little boy came in today with his
bare toes sticking out through big hole
in one shoe and the upper and sole of
the other tied together with a cotton
string. He was given pair of ladies'
shoes.
The stone yard is in active operation,
and today there are twenty eight hungry,
poorly clothed men inside the fence that
has been built to protect them from curl
GUS eyes, pounding the stones into little
bits to earn just enough food and cloth
ing to do their shivering families at
home until some more profitable en-
ployment can be secured
