A MASS Of Ruins.
Now Marks the Spot Where Stood
Masonic Building in Kan
sas City.
QUICK WORK OF The FLAMES
Property to the Value OF Four Hun
bred Thousand Dollars de-
strOyed.

KANSAS CRY, March 14.-Fire de-
etroyed between 100000 and $35O,0O(
worth of property at Fourth and Broad
way this evening. The flames were
seen bursting out of the windows of the
big four-story building occupied by the
English Supply company, dealers in
engine supplies. One hour after the fire
started only short walls and a mass of
burning debris remained to mark the
place where the building stood.
The fire spread to the Western News
paper union and the Great Western
type foundry, and within half an hour
the walls of the Western Newspaper
union building began falling, and all
hope of saving 1t was abandoned. An
hour later it was a smouldering mass.
In it was a great quantity Of type ma
terial, besides six cylinder presses. The
Western Newspaper union printed
patent inaides" for 200 western weekly
papers, and employed a big force. The
loss in this building alone will exceed
$4,000.
The English building was owned by
the Kersey Coates estate and the des-
truction of the building and it's contents
involves a loss of about S25O,OOO, S275,00O
most of which is on supply company's
stock. The latter company carried an
insurance of 10000.

cussed. 1t was stated that the United
States treasury department was con-
templating the removal of the port of
entry from Fort Benton, where it now
is, to a more convenient point, and
it was pointed out that about 80
per cent of the total business coming
from Canada to this state and subject to
duty was billed over the Great Falls
Il Canada to Great Falls, and that this
was in consequence the natural and logi-
cal point for the location of a port Of
entry. 1t would be a great benefit to the
city to have it located here, as stuff
could then be shipped in bond to Great
Falls, and this would prove a great con-
venience to the silver smelter and other
business interests. The silver smelter is
anxious to get the lead ores from the
north of the line, but under the present
vexatious sy stem they can only be pro-
cured with great trouble and difficulty.
The only serious competitor which Great
Falls has in the matter is Helena. which
by reason of her pull at the capital, may
capture the prize, although all the Gus
toms officers admit that Great Falls is
the proper place for a port of entry.
The board has, however, taken the proper
steps to lay the facts in the case before
the secretary of the treasury.
Other matters of great Importance
were discussed, but as the board was of
the opinion that newspaper publicity
might be detrimental at this time, THE
TRIBUNE was requested not to report
the matter.

of That Statue.
KANSAS CITY, March 14.-What was
doubtless an attempt to steal the 5225,-
900 gold base of the famous Montana
silver statue, exhibited at the worlds
fair. was frustrated here last night.
The statue is on exhibition in the dry
goods store of a local firm and has at
tracted thousands Of people. 1t rests in
plain sight of the street and is easy of
access. Late last night two men who, it
later developed. had hidden themselves
in the store when it was closed last even
ing, got so far as to wrench an iron bar
off the door near where the statue stood
and were opening both doors when dis
covered, The men fled and were chased
for several blocks, and though fired at
a half-dozen times escaped. They left
tools of various descriptions which would
have been necessary to move tho statue.
The statue was that for which Ada

REAL ESTATE MEN TALK
The Future Seems to Them Bright
With PrOmise--Rise in Values

A Number Of Prominent Real Estate
Men Express Their Views in
the Matter.

Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
real estate men was held in Judge Races
office to discuss the prospects for the
coming season and take counsel to.
gether with a view to establishing har-
monious action. President Webster of
the board of trade presided and there
was a large attendance present. every
seat in the board of trade rooms being
occupied and a number being compelled
to stand up.
DR.. Crutcher outlined the object of the
meeting and dwelt on the lack of har-
mony among real estate men and the
injury done to the city by local jealousy
among themselves. He instanced several
cases that had come under his observa-
ton, in which men had come to this city
with the intention of investing money in
realty and had been discouraged and
driven away by real estate men VINO.
from malicious motives, depreciased the
value of property they were talking of
purchasing. He called attention to an
answer TO d question which appeared in
the United States Investor, in which the
question was asked as to the value OF a
tract of land adjoining the city limits,
near the Black Eagle Falls addition.
The tract in question was valued by its
owner at $4,000 and he had been offered
$4,000 for it and refused the offer as
much below its value. Yet the cores
pendent of the Investor from Great
Falls had written in reply that it was
worth about $1,000. He said he knew
of another citizen of Great Falls who, in
reply to an inquiry as to the value of
land adloinining the B. & NJ. addition
from an eastern correspondent, stated
that it was worth SD an acre. Such
conduct as this he denounced in un
measured terms. For himself he had
nothing to sell. He preferred to hold
what he had.
Judge Race said that there was a class
OF men who had worms. Great Falls.

would only tell the truth here it was
good enough. He felt sure that real
estate was OF an upward market. The
condition Of the city was certainly
wonderfully improved since a year
ago. The banks were in bet.

FOUND GUILTY..
Frank Murray Found Guilty of Forgery
in the District Court.

in the District Court.
Yesterday the case of Frank Murray.
charged with forging a check on James
Baatz, came up for trial before a jury in
the district court, county attorney Free
man prosecuting and attorney Berry ap-
pearing for the defense. The story of
the prisoner was a very hiinsy one. He
said he obtained the check from a man
or the street who was almost a stranger
to him. He had met him once when he
was working on a section near Havre
and stopped to get a drink of water
from him. He next saw him in a saloon
in Great Falls, and he said his name was
Nice. The next day after this NEE ting
the stranger met him at the beer hall
corner and told him to take the check
and purchase a pair of overshoes and
other small articles and bring back the
change and he would give him 80
cents, He offered the check at the Bos-
ton and they refused to take it question
ing its genuineness. Then he tried
Nathan, and they sent him to the bank
on which it was drawn which was only a
step away, but instead of going there he
went to Strains and offered it in pay
ment of a small purchase. Mr.. Strain
promptly handed him over to an officer,
No man answering his description could
be found and no mar of the name Of the
alleged stranger ever worked Oh the
section at Havre. 1t did not take the
jury very long to come to a verdict.
They retired about $50 p. m, and before
6 o'clock returned to the court room
with a verdict of guilty as charged liz
the indictment, Judge Benton ordered
the prisoner remanded to the county jail
after telling him that he would pass SEN
tence on him next Monday forenoon.

Election In 1895.

Elections in which Governors or
other State officers will be chosen are
to be held in eleven States, which is
more than a quarter of the whole
number. this year. These are Iowa.
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, New
York. New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. Besides these Utah will aban-
don the Territorial stage and take its
place as State this year, choosing a
full set of officers. In some of these,
and in few other States, Legislatures
will be elected which will choose
United States Senators.
The most interesting of all the cou-
tests are those which are to take place
in Kentucky. New Jersey, New York
and Ohio. All of these except New
York elect Governors as we'll as other
officials. New York chooses minor
State officers, while all elect part or
all their Legislatures. The Legisla-
ture to be elected in Kentucky will
choose Senator Blackburn's success
or, that in Ohio will elect Senator
Brice's and part of the one to be
chosen in New York will hold over
and elect a successor to Senator Hill,
whose term expires 1897. The interst
in Kentucky is on account OF the
chances which the Republicans have
of carrying the Governorship and the
Legislature, and of thus securing a
Senator. Their prospects are much
improved by the fight in the Democ-
racy on the silver question, which is
certain to rage throughout the whole
canvass. and which is likely to de-
crease the Democratic and increase
the Republican vote.
There is doubt as to the result in
New Jersey. and even in New York.
despite the tremendous majority rolled
up for Morton last year. the outcome
j. somewhat uncertain. Both States
are normally Democratic. although
in presidential elections New York
has been dividing her favors equally
between Republicans and Democrats
for quarter of century past. OF
course all the votes cast for Republi
can candidates in these two States in
1894 were not Republican. and can not
be counted on for the Republican
tickets this year. If both States.
however. the chances appear to be
with the Republicans. The Republi-
cans are tolerably snre to carry Ohio
for the Governorship by a gOod-sized |
They will probably secure
a ma jority of the Legislature. also.
and break this cycle of Democratic |
success in sixth year canvass which |
keeps the senatorial delegation of the
State divided. Foraker's candidacy
for the Senate. however. will cost the
some votes in the Legis-
lature. but it will hardly give that
body to the Democrats GlObe-Dem-
Ocrat.
