RECORDS ARE BURNED.
Missouri Pacific Suffers Serious Loss
by Fire in St. Louis.

st. Louis. July 12.-Shortly after
? o'clock this morning fire broke out
on the thirteenth floor of the Missouri
Pacific railroad building. Seventh and
Market streets 1t originated in q
room where old records were kept.
All the downtown towers and extern
sion ladders were brought out but
would only reach to the sixth floor.
Pipe lines were CARRIED through vim
dows and hoisted by means of rope.
The attic on the thirteenth floor
where the fire originated is low
pitched room and the fremen worked
lying down. Railways and corridors
were flooded with water. which ran
in stream down the elevator shaft
The fire was remarkable In that it
was the first in st. Louis which has
been located at this altitude in a sky
scraper- The hremen were engaged
in fighting the blaze for several hours.
The loss incurred mainly concerns
the destruction of records of the Mis-
souri, Pacific roads. These were half
burned, soaked and pitched out into
Seventh street until the street was
covered with paper. The damage to
the records not be estimated on
a money basi Damage TO the build

HAS q CHANCE no WIN.
e. BIuHaney Thinks Republicans In
Graham Have Chance.

Ed Mullaney of Graham county. the
political adversary of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Dave Hanna, was in Topeka
Wednesday with his sister. Mullaney' s
health is not very good, and he is TAX
ing a little vacation, and stopped off
in Topeka on his way to Kansas City.
ours is a close county politically
said Mr. Mullaney. land 1 don't know
whether we will elect the Republican
ticket I am inclined to believe, how
ever. that the Republicans will be able
to beat G. W. Stober. the Populist who
represented the county in the last ses-
sion. Stober will undoubtedly be re-
nominated by the Populists. and he is
a popular man in the county.

DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN.
Men Who Had store at Lebanon
CoIdn't Stand the Fine.

z. zanditon. who now runs dry
goods store in Topeka, together with
f. 2. Shoaf, his former partner, are
the plaintiffs in error in q case filed
today in the Kansas supreme court
which will test the right of a city
council to impose a license upon tran
silent merchants.
Zanditon and Shoaf went to Leb-
anon. Smith county, and put in a
stock of goods. The other merchants
of the city were convinced that the
store was merely a temporary affair
and that Zanditon and Shoaf were
simply planning to sell off their stock
and leave the town They had the
city council pass an ordinance impos-
ing a license fee of SO a day on
transient merchants. and under this
ordinance Zanditon and Shoaf were
repeatedly arrested and fined IN po-
lice court The district court affirmed
the decision of the lower court. and
now the two merchants appeal to the
supreme court.
They claimed that we were tran
sient merchants" said Mr.. Zanditon
today. I'VE went there to Lebanon
to locate with our stock of goods. but
of course after they commenced to
fine US every day we had to quit. We
were in business there for nineteen
days. Their license ordinance is en-
tirely invalid, and we are confident
that we viii win the case now that we
have it in the supreme court"

Ottawa, kan. July 12.-The city has
begun to realize on its franchise grant

lola MAN Is ANGRY.
Thinks Mr.. Luling in League With
Some Undertakers.

G. S Culbertson. an lola undertaken,
Is the first to rise up in wrath and de-
nounce Insurance Commissioner c. II.
Luling for his condemnation of the
mutual burial associations of the state
Culberston says that Luling's fight is
inspired by some of the undertakers
who do not have burial associations of
their own.
In speaking Of the matter Mr.. Gull
bertson said: They can't repeal the
law so long as the members of the
burial associations comply with the
state laws governing burial associa-
tons. Mr. Luling has been after the
associations for some time. but has
not been very successful, as the attor-
ney general told him so long as the
associations complied with the laws
they could not be put out of business
Mr.. Luling's fight on the assOcfa-
lions is inspired largely by those IN
dertakers who have no association.
There are only about half a dozen as
sociatons doing business in the state.
Each undertaken who represents an
association has the right for the entire
county in which he lives. OF course
there are many counties which have
more than half a dozen undertakers,
consequently those undertakers who
have no association are left out in the
cold and they kick on associations. The
associations do not interfere with com
petition among undertakes. OF course
the undertaken who has an association
has the advantage over the one who
has none. People know that an asso-
citation is good thing and hence sup
port it.

TIE LAAsIHG's OIL
AWAITS FURTHER TESTS

The oil steamer Lansing, with &c. 600
barrels of fuel oil on board, is lying at
the railroad docks. The Territorial
tester found, upon preliminary tests,
that the oil flashed at a temperature
OF approximately IS degrees.
Mr.. Shorey, the Federal chemist,
found that it flashed at from 81 to
SO degrees. There is no law prohibit
ing the Importation of oil OF any quail
ity, but its sale Is prohibited IL 1t
flashes below 100 degrees.
This same quality of oil is used with
out restriction at most points on the
Pacific coast. It has been imported
here several times, and after standing
in the tanks for a few days. or being
mixed with heavier oil, has parted with
gas enough to bring it well above the
100 degree mark.
The oil company mas proposed to fol-
low this course by pumping into its
own tanks at Iwilei, but SO far the
government has objected thereto,
claiming that the oil was a nuisance.
Further tests are being made, and
no decision has yet been made as to
what will be done with the oil.

BURCLARlES
RECOMMENCE

Early yesterday morning the Homo
lulu Hotel was again burgiarized. a
thief breaking into two of the rooms
and making a bundle of the clothing
and other effects found there ready 10
carry off. Fortunately, however. the
occupants of one of the rooms were
awakened by the noise made by the
burglar in his work, and upon seeing
that he had been detected the man
jumped out of the window and es-
capped, leaving his bundle of booty be-
hind him.
The burglary was committed after 5
o'clock in the morning and the two
men whom he had disturbed had
good look at him and were able TO
describe his costume. They are not
able to say, however, whether their
early morning visitor was a white man
or a native. He was wearing suit Of
gray clothes, a SLOUGH hat and rubber
shoes. The man was also seen by an
employe of the Oahu Ice Company,
who was delivering his wares in the
neighborhood.
