IOWA STATE NEWS,
COLLEGE PARTLY BURNED.
Iowa State Agricultural Building a,
Ames Nearly Destroyed by Fire
Students Encane.

Two hundred and fifty students.
who were asleep in their rooms in the
main building of the Iowa agricultur-
al college, had narrow escape from a
fire that destroyed the north wing of
that structure. Nearly all of them
lost their personal belongings and
barely got out of the building in their
night clothes. The property loss will
amount to about 100000. with no in
surance.
The building was used chiefly as a
dormitory, but on the first floor were
recitation rooms and the botanical
museum, containing the valuable
Parry-Pa1nmel collection, which is
worth thousands of dollars and is one
of the finest in America. This col
lection was saved only by the prompt
work of the students, who directed
their efforts to removing it from the
building as soon as their personal
safety was assured. 1t was nearly
all carried out before the fire stopped
their work.
The fire originated in the boiler
iooIi dt tHe DiCk Ol tne DullGlnp ana
the strong wind carried the flames up
the passageways, so that within ten
minutes after the fire started the
building was doomed. The college fire
department and the departments from
Ames and Boone arrived within half
an hour and succeeded in saving the
south wing.
AS soon as the excitement had SUBJ
sided>the students were provided with
lodging in the homes of the members
of the faculty on the campus and by
the people of Ames. The faculty held
a meeting and organized to meet the
emergency by arranging for rooms,
clothing and books for the students
who had suffered losses, and the COL
lege work will go on as though moth
ing had happened.
The burned building was erected in
1868 at cost of $16S,O0O. Additions
and improvements have increased its
cost to over 100000. It is about
three-fourths destroyed

strong E,xldence.

The Burlington police say they have
sufficient evidence to hang George
Anderson. who is in Jail charged with
the murder of w. H. Inter, of Cedar
Rapids, and seriously wounding Mrs.
Inter A pocket knife believed to be-
long to the prisoner was found in a
yard through which he ran. Ashes
through which the tracks of the muir
derer went were found on his shoes,
and the shoes exactly fitted the
tracks. Anderson denies he did the
shooting, but evidences the liveliest
interest in the condition of Inter.
whom he supposes is only slightly
hurt. Mrs. Linter may live.

HAVE ENOUGH MEN.
Santa Fe Omcials Say strikers, Places
Are Filled-Telegraphe still
Confident.

Topeka, Kan, Dec. 12.-The Santa
Re officials claim the telegraphers'
strike is thing of the past. They
say the strikers places are so nearly
filed that the hiring of men will be
stopped.
General Manager Nudge has issued
a reward notice, Offering $3.50 reward
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of any person cutting,
or obstructing in any way, the tele-
graph wires or instruments of the
company.
Mr.. Nudge says the strike is n COM
plete failure. and that the road is
finding no difficulty in filling the places
, made vacant blythe operators. He still
retains his place at the key in the gen
/; eral telegraph office. however.
Superintendent Sholes claims that
there are only $50 vacancies on the
force of telegraphers yet to fill, and
that they will be filled in short time.
The company claims to be able to re-
ceive and care for all the ordinary bust
i ness with which it may be entrusted.
and that, as far as the strikers are con-
cerned. the road need not recognize
their existence.
St. Louis, Dec. 12.-At the head
quarters of the Order of Railway
Photographers in this city it was
stated that reports received from all
parts of the Santa Fe system show
that the strike is more effective now
than at any time since its Inaugural
ton.
Galveston, Tex, Dec. 1.-THE strike
remains in status quo at this end of
the line. President Dolphin went to
bed late and at II o'clock in the morn
ing had not left his room at the no
tel. Vice President Pierson said no
reports were received Tuesday morn
ing, but from those received at night
Monday was fine day for the strik-
ers. What he based this on he did
not state.
General Manager Polk says things
could not be better and the road is
checking in new operators and NOV
ing freight right along. Monday the
Santa Fe handled nearly 1000 bales
of cotton and over go cars of grain,
besides sundries. into Galveston alone.
