ter 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 M. T. Davis
of the Missouri commission, the loss
| sustained by the state will only
amount to $4,000 This is explained
by the statement of Mr.. Davis that
after the worlds fair is over the build
ing, which was the finest state struc-
ture on the grounds, would not bring
more than $1,000.
Il am happy to say that inspection
has proved that but ten paintings OF
Missouri's former governors and SUI
preme court justices are so badly burn
ed that they cannot be replaced" said
Mr. Davis.
The loss was mostly causefl by the
destruction of furniture.
The Missouri historical exhibit has
been temporarily placed in the Ohio
building. Most of the books belonging
to the State university will be return
ed to Columbia before the end of the
week Only a few of the books are
damaged.
The mammoth relief map showing
the topography of Missouri was not
damaged in the least. All the furni-
