WITHOUT WARNING
Dr Mason Shoots Henry Duncan
 Through the Neck.

A telegram came 10 the Sheriff's s office tLis afternoon stating that Dr. B. M. Mason, of Kearney, had shot ard killed Henry Duncan, also of that place.
 The Graphic communicated with Kearney by phone. MT. P. A.. Gates, manager of the Kearney Lumber Co.'S. general merchandise store, said: q was in the office as was, also, MT. Duncan. Dr. Mason entered and we began to socially converse. I had business out of the store and excused myself, as 1 made an exit from the office Mr Duncan arose to do likewise, without warn ing Dr. Mason raised a shot gun, which he had concealed at that mo- ment, and fired. The load of shot entered Duncan's neck. pr. Mason was preparing to shoot again when I grabbed hlm. Others came to my ass stance and Duncan was remov- ed. could not say that MT. Duh- can will recover, but I don't think he is seriously injured
 Both men are prominent in that community and the affair is creat- ing quite stir. MT. Duncan is general foreman and manager of the Kearney Lumber Co. Dr. Mason is a leading physician there.

war with Spain are said to be very gratifylr z to Gerel al Miles and his friends. There has never been nun doubt in the minds of disiuterested d people that the bulk of the meat furnished the army in Cuba was un- fl for human beings to eat, and the further the question is probed by the court the more palpable 1t be- comes that he Commissary Depart ment, if not the War Department itself is to blame for a great deal O. the sickness and many of the deaths among the soldiers. In discussing he beef question with a friend the other day, General Miles is reported as saying:
 There is no doubt in my mind that hundreds of our soldiers died from the effects of the bad beef fur nlshed them and the systems of thousands of others have been so wrecked by the poisonous food dealt out to them by t6e Commissary De- partment that they will never fully recover from the effects
 Secretary Alger is very much worried over the testimony of the witnesses examined by the Court of Inquiry during it's Western tlip, and rumors of his early retirement from the Cabinet are aSain in cir cu'ation here. It is stated that be has been advised by the President that his resignation would be pleas ing to the administration and re lleve it of many endorsements, It is also sid, upon what appears good authority, that the name ol General Horace Porter. the present Ambassador to France, is being SC riously considered by Mr. Mckinley as Mr. Algee's successor as the head of the war portfolio.

BY A HOLOCAUST TWO DEAD AND TWENTY
 INJURED.
MOST ALL LADIES HURT.
A Small Fire But it Was Appalling In its Haryestof Death
 and Suffering

Omaha, March 22.-Comparative- y insignificant in material destruc- tion, but appalling in it's harvest of death and suffering, was a fire that partially destroyed the Patterson block on Seventeenth and Douglas streets Tuesday afternoon. Two of it's victims have already passed away, one more is not expected to live and about twenty others are suffering from broken limbs and burned and lacerated flesh.
 A group of happy women, busy with the affairs of the secret orders with which they were affiliated, were in a moment brought face to face with death. Sixty seconds later seven of them lay burned and bleed ing on the pavements to which they had dropped, forty feet below and the others were rescued after they had been more or less severely ir- iured in their desperate dash down the single pair of stairs that led to safety.
 The blaze started just after three o'clock from gasoline stove explo-- sion in room in the rear of the third floor of the building, and next to the elevator shaft. It was not discovered until it had spread to the adjoining apartments and the entire floor was filed with smoke and flame.
 About twenty members of the woman's lodge of Maeeabees were attending a committee meeting in the waitiog room in front of the building on the same floor. They were unconscious of danger until the janitor threw open the door and told them to get out before the flames cut them off. The warning came too late The fire swept through the door and down the single stairway. Those nearest the door fled through the bIinding smoke and reached the streets with haL ds and faces burned and olistered. The rest faced solid wall of flame.
 There was a fire escape at the south front of the building but not one of them seemed to have thought of ic. They rushed panie-strickel to the windows through which the smoKe was already pouring in suf- beating puffs. The fire was scarce ly a foot behind. It caught tbeir clothing and scorched their faces with increasing intensity. In the street the spectators attracted ty l the clouds of smoke were mortified to see one after another spring from the open windows and fall heavily to the ravement. Not one arose. 1 hey lay in an inert and apparently lifeless heap until carried into the office of a physician across the street Most of them were bleeding from severe cuts and bruises and all were burned until their torn and blackened skin hung ia shreds. In 
 few minutes all except Mrs. Tay- Tor was taken to the morgue and others whose injuries Were less severe were treated at neighboring drug stores and at the offices of downtown phys .clans.
 Few of the losers are able to place an exact estimate on their losses, but the total will not exceed $50, 900
 The building is insured up to the so per cent clause and most of the other losses are largely covered uy insurance.
