State Building at Madison, Wis.,,
Burned, Causing Loss of $500, 900.
The Wisconsin State capitol at Madi-
son was destroyed by fire Saturday with
loss estimated at 100000. The State
carries only partial insurance, being in
the process of changing from insurance
IN companies to n system of State insur-
ance. The fire involves the building Of
a new capitol, a special session Of the
Legislature, and the probable renewal
of the agitation in favor of the removal
of the capital from Madison to Milwau-
kee.
The flames, which were caused by a
lighted gas jet on the second floor early
in the day. had ruined the east and west
wings, containing the Senate and As
sembly chambers, and the departments
of the tax commission. the adiutant gem
eral, railroad commissioner, State school
superintendent. superintendent Of public
property, board of agriculture, State nor
mai school, commissioner OF fisheries, fish
aud game warden, State board OF phar
macy, State land office. dairy and food
commission. State treasurer and commits
sioner of labor. and We're about TO at
tack the departments of the Governor,
Secretary OF State. State board OF con.
troll and the insurance commissioner
The local FIRE department soon had ter
streams Of water playing on the flames
With little effect and the Milwaukee de-
partment was called to render assist
anee.
At S o'clock the flames were bursting
from the windows Of the north anu south
wings. the east and west wings having
by this time been destroyed.
The last departments to burn were
those of the Secretary OF State and Gov
ernor. on the south, the Attorney General
and insurance commissioners on the main
floor and the Supreme Court law library
and State library commission on the sec
ond loor Practically all the valuable
State records were saved. as most OF
them were in masonry and STEEL vaults.
The State treasury had only about 5000
In cash on hand
Ex-Gov Schoheld maintained insur
anee on the building throughout his term
totaling 100000. but the 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

One OF the features OF the army is the
