the accident occurred. The wall is
cracked and bulged, however, and will
have to be rebuilt. The light and pow
er company's loss will be great aside
from the destruction of a portion of its
building A dozen new gas stoves We're
OH display in the office, and these were
caught by the falling roof and crushed
and broken. In the second story over
the office section We're stored all the
lamps globes and other electrical sup
plies, a portion of which will be ruined.
Secretary S. B. Hovey, of the company,
came to the city from Independence
this morning to investigate the matter
and assist in arranging for rebuilding,
The officers of the company can not
estimate their loss. as no effort has
been made to take an accounting of the
stock buried in the ruins.
The escape from instant death of
Hiss Blanche Robinson, the bookkeep-
er, who was in the office at the time
the walls collapsed, is miraculous. Had
she reached the door, for which she
started when she heard the cracking of
walls and timbers, she would have been
caught in the ruins and killed. Re
turning behind the desk she was pro-
tected. When the south wall gave way
and let the roof fall, the front wall was
forced outward and fell on Third ave-
nue., the bricks covering the street car
tracks. Several pedestrians were mar
rowly missed by falling bricks. A for
tunate feature of the accident was the
fact that the men working in the Widl
cellar We're at the east end and beyond
the portion of wall that fell. They
stopped work at once, however, as the
balance of the wall was in danger of
falling.

REJECTS ALL BIDS.
School Board to Readvertise for Bids
on Third Ward Building.

The school board members spent the
afternoon Tuesday in conference with
the contractors who bio on the work
of erecting a new efght-room school
house on the site of the present Third
ward building, in the hope that the
plans could be modified and the price
reduced to sum the board believes
1t ought to eXpend. After notifications
We're made in the plans and some of the
expensive features that would add only
to the appearance OF the building We're
eliminated the figures were still I'M
satisfactory. ranging from little more
than $4,000 to $4,000 The board is
determined TO build well or not at all,
as the new building will be needed for
many years to come. Finally the board
voted to reject all the bids and read
vertise, in the hope of securing a lower
figure. New plans will be drawn and
it will require thirty days time before
the contract can be let. The board is
working tremendously in the matter.
The contractors insist that the rea-
son their first figures ran so high on
this building was that the plans called
for much finer building in every way
tina nthe Arson building. The board in
revising their plans viii insist upon a
first class building but will omit many
features that tended to increase the
cost of the building. If one contractors
boast that he will take the plans and
specifications of the Arson building
and build duplicate this summer for
the same price holds good, the Third
ward building can yet be built under

the deduction of the heating and
