BL TO WISCONSIN,
Fire Destroys Capitol Building al
Madison-Loss $soo,oOo-In-
surance Had Lapsed.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 29.-The Wis.
sconsin state capitol building was prac-
Hcally destroyed by fire Saturday with
a loss estimated at 100000. The state
carries only partial insurance, being
IN the process of changing from insur-
-ance in companies to system of state
insurance. The fire involves the build
ing Of new capitol, special session
of the legislature and the probable re-
newal of the agitation in favor of the
removal of the capitol from Madison
to Milwaukee.
The flames completely ruined the
east and west wings, containing the
senate and assembly chambers and
the departments of the tax commission,
the adjutant general, railroad commits
.sioner, state school superintendent, SUI
perlntendent of public property, board
of agriculture, state normal school,
commissioner of fisheries, fish and
game warden, state board of pharma-
>cy, state land Office, dairy and food
commission, state treasurer and COM
missioner Of labor.
The origin Of the fire is believed to
have been a lighted gas jet in toilet
room on the second floor. The flame
was close to and ignited vanished
ceiling.
Gov. schofield maintained insurance
ION the building throughout his term
totaling 100000, but lie last legisla-
ture instituted an insurance fund and
directed the states officers to allow
the insurance policies to lapse In
June last there lapsed $4,000, and in
December the sum of $4,000. There is
in the insurance fund at the present
time about $4,000 to meet the loss
which conservative estimates place at
100000.

FLAMES ATTACK SHIP.
Lifeboats Launched in Heavy Storm,
But Are swamped-Four-
teen Lives Lost.

Port Townsend, WASH, Feb. 29.-After
suffering the most narrowing experience
from fire and storm that has ever be-
fallen craft on the north Pacific coast,
the steamer Queen on Sunday put in
here to report the loss of IA lives.
About 3:45 o'clock Saturday morning
while off the mouth of the Columbia
river, the Queen caught fire in her after
saloon In some unexplained way. With
Undesirable swiftness the fire gained
Roadway, and threatened soon to en-
velop the whole ship. To add to the
horror, the heavy seas running meant
death to any sent away in the life boats.
The flames became more and more
threatening until when it seemed a
choice of deaths, Capt Cousins ordered
the life boats launched. They were
manned by the crew and ordered to re-
main close to the ship. Into these the
women and children were placed.
Hardly. however, had the boats been
cast loose than, unable to weather the
fierce waves, two of them were capsized.
The passengers and those of the crew
who remained on board continued their
dght against the flames with increasing
success until, at 7:4O q. M. the fire was
brought under control. When 1t was
thought the danger from fire was past,
Capt. Cousins recalled the life boats
and the occupants were taken aboard.
The Queen headed for the mouth of the
Columbia river. and about nine o'clock
the steamer Santa Monica was sighted.
The Queen signaled and asked to stand
by until temporary repairs could be
made. When everything had been
made safe the Queen continued on to
the mouth of the Columbia, only to find
the bar was too rough to cross in. The
distressed craft was pointed toward
Puget sound, and when she rounded
Cape Flattery she encountered ter
rifle electrical storm. With difficulty
she weathered the gale, and arrived here
without further mishap, and proceeded
to Seattle, where she arrived about
:aightfall.
Ten of those who lost their lives
were spilled out of the small boats:
three men, walters on the vessels, were
:suffocated before they could reach the
outer air from their hunks in the aft
part of the ship, and one woman died
later from exposure.

morning Vologony was found, hiding
In haystack. He was placed under
arrest, submitting without a word and
was brought to the Abba Jail where
he now awaits the action Of the
courts.
Vogolony, it is said by his fellow
countrymen who live at Hooking, has
tried repeatedly to induce the girl to
marry him. but she refused, it is said,
because the man, though only 2z
years old, has wife in Russia,
whence he came only short time
ago. He was crazed by his love, say
his friends, and hardly knew what he
was doing.
Another Shooting Affair.
Following close upon the tragedy
at Hooking came another shooting af-
fair at the same town, in which Con-
stable Jack Williams owes his life to
the poor aim of August Ahrweiler the
keeper of a joint. The constable
went to the place and ordered it
closed at ten o'clock in accordance
with the state mulct law. His an
swer was a bullet from a 38-calibre
revolver that grazed his clothing.
With unusual nerve Williams walked
square at the smoking muzzIe and
placed Ahrweiler under arrest. The
joint was closed and Ahrweiler is
now in jail on a charge of attempted
murder.

Law With a Bullet From

Abba, Ia, July 12.--Only the dispo-
sition of a law-abiding people to let
the law take its course has prevented
violence to Joe Vogolony, the Hook
ing miner who SO cruelty murdered
Ella Underausky at her home Sunday
afternoon. There is no doubt as to
his guilt and everybody in the vicin.
ity is at white heat to see that JUS
tice is meted out to the inhuman
fiend. Vogolony is in Jail here and
is sullen and refused to talk. He has
not been arraigned as yet, but there
is no doubt that he will be held for
murder without bonds.
The murder was one of the most
cold blooded affairs in the history OF
Monroe county. The shooting occur
red in meadow a short distance
southwest of Hooking, at o'clock In
the afternoon. Vogolony had. started
after his COW and was Joined by Miss
Underausky and another girl. The
latter was an eye witness to the mur.
der. She says Vogolony, apparently

Ella of his love, as he had done so of.
ten before. Finally, he asked the
girl to become his wife. For mo,
ment she said nothing and Vogolony,
walking close to her, said:
"Will you marry me, Ella?"
The girl answered in the negative
and Vogolony, drawing a revolver
from his pocket, fired three times at
her. She fell to the ground, mortalIy
wounded, every bullet having taken
effect. Vogolony, apparently not con
tent with simple murder, calmly re.
loaded his revolver and fired two
more charges into the PROSTATE body
Then he fed toward the nearby
woods and disappeared.
The girl who had seen the murder
was Mortified but collected her wits
sufficiently to hasten to the town and
spread the alarm. While the women
went to the meadow to carry the dead
body of the murdered girl to her home
a posse of miners was hastily formed
and started out after the criminal.
AN night the search was kept up
and early in the morning Sheritf John

poaa and AutomobIIes.

In commenting on q recent accident
in which a large automobile was up
set and badly damaged by running In
to dog, the Country Life. of London,
says: The wonder Is that more Incl
dents Of this kind do not happen
considering that the majority of dogs,
though they will run out Of the way
Of trotting horse, will not stir an
inch out Of the direct path OF an ap-
preaching car. Many of them, more
over, II on the sidewalk, will rush
violently into the middle Of the road
as car passes, and 1t is only by a
violent swerve on tho drivers part
that the immolation OF the animal
can be averted. The pace of the ve-
hicle scarcely enters into tho ques-
ton; the dog simply rushes out at
right angles as soon as tne car is
opposite; indeed, the animals best
chance Of escape Is for the vehicle to
be so fast that it has sped by before
the dog has had time to hurl itself
under the back wheels.

The Pluck Of Edison.

There are today about a quarter or
o billion incandescent lamps In this
country. The man who has not seen
an electric light is looked upon as a
curiosity. But it is only twenty-five
years since Edison succeeded In max
ing practical electric light, after
three years of failures.
Mr.. Edison began his work on an
electric light in 1876. In two years he
had made nothing but failures and he
had lost his health. He took months
vacation and began again. All the
greatest electricians of the world
said that an incandescent lamp was
Impossible. But Edison persevered,
and In q few months more hit upon
the right idea. On Christmas Day
1879, his Office was lit up for the first
time with the new lights, which arc
today in all parts Of the world.
