St. Louis Has a Big Con-

KANSAS SUFFERS TOO
While Fire Swept the Principal
Business Section Of Bismarck,
Missouri.

st. Louis, Mo-, Mch. 1s-Fire broke
out in the big cold storage warehouse
Of the Anhueser Busch Brewing ASSOC
iation this afternoon and before the
department got it under control sever
al million dollars worth of property had
gone up in smoke and several lives lost.
Just how the fire originated is not
known but a high wind was blowing
and the flames leaped from the cold
storage warehouses to freight cars on
the side tracks, these were dry as cin-
ders and the flames swept through one
hundred or nearly all near the ware>
house and it was impossible on account
OF the great heat to hitch an engine to
the cars,
From the freight cars the flames leap
ed to several buildings In the city CO.
cupid by manufacturers and there
were houses used as dwellings by en-
ploy of these enterprises, The peO-
pls in these houses became panic
stricken and rushed into the streets,
ringing their hands and yelling like a
set of wild people. Fireman then had
to discontinue fighting the flames and
endeavor to control these people which
was finally done.
Two dead were carried from one
building and it is thought that others
will be found a. soon as the debris can
be cleared away.

!HE BIG REVIVAL
CLOSES TONIGHT
Thousands Attended The
Services Sunday
THE TALK 70 MEN ONLY
It was Probably the Best Sermon
Ever Delivered in Brunswick
and Hundreds Heard 1t.

The daily service Of the Sam Jones
revival Sunday was more than we'll
attended aud the afternoon meeting
for ladies at the Presbyterian church
found every seat In the church packed
but the service for men only at the
tent at 8 80 p. m. was successful in
every sense of the word and majority
Of BrunswickAs mals population was
there. Rev. Jones was at his best and
he delivered probably the strongest
talk eyer heard from q Brunswick
pulpit. 1t is true that the noted
evSngalist called things by their real
name but there was nothing In his
sermon to offend the most sensitive,
and thoss who were there are certainly
better OF for having heard this beauti-
full talk. 1t is eaid that men were at
this service who had not heard q ser
mon in thirty years.
But the largest crowd yet was at the
night service. There was not a vacant
seat In the great tent and hundreds
went up and gave the minister their
hand. Rev. George Stuart preached
and bis sermon was a powerful one.
Three services were held yesterday
and those too were well attended.
To-day there will be preaching at the
tent, weather permitting, at 1890 q.
M, 30 and 80 p. m. and as this is
the last day all who possibly can
should be present.

II am the officer that Is concerned IN

officer at the post, and the only one
accountable, and disbursing officer. Il
there has been anything Irregular ]
would be pleased to give all the assis-

the guilty men. II there are any. All

diers from the returning volunteer reg
iments.
Col. J. B. Rawies. artillery corps,

"All this talk Of fraud II perfect rot.
People have been nagging for 9 year
on the came subject. I have been
aware of the soldiers selling their
clothing for a long time. One OF the
puzzling and perplexing things In army
management is to keep the soldiers
from selling their clothing. I am con-
fident that no quartermaster's Aergeant
or civilian employee is implicated In the
selling of even a shoestring."" ,gs
