FIRE AT THE WORLDS FAIR
N issouri State Building Is in Ashes On,
Fireman Killed; Others Hurt.

Missouri State Building Is i'm Ashes Ono
Fireman Killed; Others Hurt.
st. Louis, Nov. 21.-Four hours lift
er hot water heater exploded in the
basement of the Missouri Worlds fair
pavilion the stately structure erected
by the hostess state of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition was mass of
blackened ruins; Isolated pillars of
smoke illuminated by spasmodic bursts
of flames from slowly dying beds of
embers marking the site of the most
pretentious of the state structures,
which originally cost $4,000 and con
tanned furniture and decorations val
ued at $4,000.
In addition to the loss of articles
of stated intrinsic value, the fire
was supposed ut first also to have
destroyed all the portraits of former
Missouri governors aud supreme jus
tees, Which moley could Let replace.
besides many relics and articles dear
to the Missourian, loaned to the Mis-,
souri, Worlds fair commission through
feeling of civic pride in enhancing
the Importance of their commonwealth
in the eyes of foreign visitors and
procurable by no other means. The
conf1agration was also responsible TO-
the serious injury of two city firemen,
who We're buried beneath one of the
walls, and the cause of the death of n
driver of a Worlds fair hook and lad.
der and the serious injury to two mem
bers of the same company.
The loss, however, was not SO great
as at first supposed. A great deal
of the furniture was saved, together
with most of the paintings and prac-
tically all the books. According to
President NJ. T. Davis, of the Missouri
commission, the loss by the state will
only amount to $4,000. This is ex-
planned by the statement that after
the Worlds fair is over the building
would not bring more than $1,000. In
spection has proven that but ten paint
ings of AIissouri's former governors
and supreme court justices are so bad
ly burned that they cannot be re.
placed.
The loss was mostly caused by the
destruction of furniture. The Missouri
historical exhibit was temporaril.
placed in the Ohio building. Most OF
the books belong to the state univcr-
sity, and will be returned to Colunl-
bia. Mo-. before the end of the week
Only few of the books are damaged
The mammoth relief map showing the
topography of Missouri was not dam
aged in the least. All the furniture
on the first floor was saved, while
that on the second floor was destroyed.

There is this idea, for example

cut out a luxury like the Government
