NEWS OF THE WORLD
A Brief Chronicle Of All Important Happenings !:
Missouri nuIIdIng nurned.

The Missouri state building at the
worlds fair was destroyed by fire early
saturday afternoon. resulting from the
explosion OF n hot-water heater i'm the
basement. Instantly the flames shot
up through the rotunda. and the north
wing and cupOla were n solid mass OF
names within ten minutes after the
explosion.
The loss cannot be estimated accur-
ately owing 10 the temporary con
struction material. which has no salv-
age value. The PRINCIPAL loss is in the
contents Of the building. The build
ing cost Sl41,000. and in IT were $4,000
worth OF furnishings. the most valu-
able OF which were portraits OF all
former Missouri governors and SUI
preme Judges. These cannot be re-
placed.
