AN INSIDER MARKET

New York, April 1.-THE appearance
Of awakened interest in stock dealings
Oh the exchange to-day was apparent
rather than real. The total sales ran
I'D to 100000 shares, but Chicago gas
and sugar absorbed $4,000 shares of
these, Chicago gas being the leader with
over $4,000 shares and Burlington, st.
Paul, New York Sentral and Reading
were credited with nearly $4,000 more.
Even IN the matter of small dealings the
market lacked breadth, many stocks us
ually on the active list showing no sales,
Missouri Pacific and Lackawanna be-
inc examples. The heavy volume of
dealings III the specialties was almost
wholly professional and outside interest
in the market was practically nil.
Firnrness characterized the bond spec
ulation which was rather quiet. The
sales aggregated $4,000. Govern
ments ruled firm and a shade higher ON
purchases of $4,000.

Plants of the Daily Papers Going.
Kansas City, April 14-Fire which
broke out at 9:15 o'clock tonight in the
five-story building on Walnut street, 200
feet north of Ninth. has spread to the
Hall building adjoining ON the south and
now threatens the entire block bounded
by Walnut, Ninth, Main and Eighth
streets. That part of the Hall building
occupied by the Kansas World is already
in flames, and the plant of the newspaper
will probably be destroyed. The offices
Of the Kansas City Times, also in the
Hall building, are in such great danger
that all the newspaper employees have
left the building.
The fire burned fiercely from 8 o'clock
until 1870 by which hour nothing but
the walls remained of the Scarritt block,
The loss on this building is $50, 900; in
surance 100000. The building was I'M
occupied. The damage in the Hall
building is not great. The Mechanical
department of the Times was shut down
for nearly two hours, but the paper has
suffered no material damage. The Of
fee of the World was flooded.
Outside of the Scarritt building the
most serious damage was done to the
building occupied by the Campbell and
Eaton Crockery Company, fronting on
Main street and running back to the rear
end of the Scarritt block. A few thou
sand dollars, however, will cover the loss
on building and contents.

FAVORABLE FLOOD NEWS.

General Alger Busy Arranging for the
Wisest Distribution of the Ratlons.
Washington, April 14.-Such inform
alton as reached the war department to-
day respecting the floods in the Mississ-
ippi Valley was generally favorab BILE.
There was some correspondence by tele-
graph between the government inspect
ing officers and commissary general Sui
livan here as to the chartering Of steam
boats for the transportation of supplies
and for the conveyance of the inspect
ing officers on their Investigations, but
little news as to the situation on the riv-
or save that contained in one dispatch
from General Gillespie, the President of
the Mississippi river commission, to Cen
eral Wilson, chief of engineers. General
Gillespie transmitted the following tele-
gram from Lieut.. Newcomer, one of the
engineer officers now at GreenvAle, Miss,
under date of last night:
"Have just passed along the Louisiana
levees in my district. Found the s:tua-
ton favOrab BILE on the whole, though some
uncertainty as to the amount of rise
coming in the YazOo causes considera-
bic anxiety on several long reaches of low
levees which are now being stopped up.
There are favorable reports from the rest
of the district"
Secretary Alger cnis afternoon received
the following telegram from one Of the
army inspectors at Memphis:
II have completed an inspection OF
the district and provided for the regular
issue of supplies at eleven relief stations,
each having q defined area of relief and
being located so as to be accessible to
the flood sufferers. The stations have
been placed in charge of the local relief
committees approved by the general relief
committees in Memphis and Forest City,
Ark. These stations will enable those
whose homes have not been swept away
to remain until the food subsidies, which
is most desirable. Station agents have
been requested TO obtain information of
food damages, to keep a record of relief
given and to take receipts for supplies to
guard against double issues when every
case of actual restitution should be re-
Heved. Supplies should not be issued
to employees or tenants of wealthy plant
ers. This suggestion is made because
the number of flood sufferers has increas-
ed many fold since the government sup
plies became available. l recommend
that this plan of relief be communicated
to other officers on relief duty. Leave
for Washington this evening"
The suggestion as to the restriction
upon the issue of rations made by the Of
ficer was approved by Secretary Alger
and proper instructions were sent at once
to the other inspecting officers TO act
accordingly.

Marshall, Mo-, April 14.-Many of the
best farms of this county are river-bot-
tom lands. The water is already over
some of it and rising, causing farmers to
move. 1t is feared there will be a rise
nearly equal to the great flood Of 1914,
when large steamers ran through the
Wakena prairie, ten miles from the main
channel.

YELLOW FEVER.

After the heavy frost on Tuesday
morning which extended over almost
the entire fever-stricken district q
change for the better will now com-
mence, and it should only be few
days at the longest when the fever
will have entirely disappeared.
The latest reports from New Or
leans show that there were iltty-
two new cases and five deaths,
but we believe that the disease Will
not be able to spread much longer
There are pow under treatment il
that city about 500 cases.
Memphis reports l new case and
deaths, Mobile new cases and
death, Montgomery z new cases ant
| death, Biloxi 4 new cases and
death, Scranton 5 new cases and nj

There are no new cases reporte'
at Edwards or Nltta Yuma, and tn

shows that there will be no NOR

Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad,
from Memphis to New Orleans, has
done all in its power for the people
1t has had trains ready ina moments
notice with relief for the sufferers and
it has sent their men right into the
places where fever was raging, and
all this done without any compensa-
ton. We have heard it said that
railroads were cold-hearted, but be
this as it may, this road has proven
more than once that it is the friend
to the section of country that it runs
through. The last high water fight
that this road made should not be

Pullman died leaving an estate

goes to his two daughters. San in
come of but $4,000 yearly is pro-
yided for his two sons. The reason
for this, the tcstator explains in his
will, is owing to the fact that neither
son had developed such a sense Of
responsibility as in bis judgment was
requisite for the wise use of large
properties and considerable sums OF
money. Consequently he says, be
was painfully compelled, as he had
explicitly stated to them, to limit bis
testamentarg provisions for then

incomes as be deemed reasonable foI
their support" This is pretty rough

in our fair Southland: Although
the loss of life in the ieyer-stricBen
section of the South is most distress
ing, the cost Of the contagion to
business is assuming an aspect that
causes even greater concern. 1t is
estimated that in New Orleans alone
the loss will be $50, 900, 900, while
the loss in other directions and the
cost OF maintaining the quarantine
will run the total up to $33, 900, 900

fifty feet square, with a fountain in

doors open into a semi-circular cor

doors OF plate glass lead to the office
This use Of glass is one OF the peeu'
