EAST ST. LOUIS BIG FIRE
A MILLION and n Half q? Elevator
md other Property Fails Prey
To the Flames.

st. Louis, Feb. 5.-The Union Eleva.
tor in East st. Louis was burned Sat-
urday night, >entailing a loss of about
$1,000, 900. Seven residences, three sa-
looms and boarding houses, one hotel, a
stable and rs head of horses and nu-
merous freight cars we're also consumed
in the most disastrous conf1agration that
East st. Louis has ever had. The fire
was one of the most spectacular that
has ever occurred in the vicinity of st.
Louis. The flames lighted the entire
heavens, leap:ng seventy-five to one hun
dred feet higher than the elevator,
which lowered $50 feet in the air.
Thousands viewed the magnificent spec
tacle from the Eads bridge, and other
thousands watched it from the river
front.
The elevator vas erected eight years
ago after a similar structure on the
same site was burned January %, 1896.
It was 900 feet long, $50 feet wide and
was originally seven stories high. Three
years ago az addition was built to the
east end and making that portion Of
the structure IL stories high. The
building was valued at $500, 900. Its
capacity was 1,00O, 900 bushels, and
when the fire broke out Saturday night
it was nearly filled with grain, the con-
tents being worth close to 81 600, 900.

OPPOSITION is CHAOTIC.
Democracy's attacks on Prosperity
Are Without Definite
Intention.

There Is no sincerity in what Demo-
cratic speakers and organs say on the
tariff. They have no definite inten.
lions. They urge Republicans to 70
into anything labeled reciprocity, yet
cannot give anything beyond the bare
word. Specifications and details, says
the 81. Louis Globe Democrat, are
unknown to them, and unknown to,
anybody. If coal or leather advances in
price the Democratic cry is: Take OF
the duty and all will be WELL" In the
coal crisis three years ago the duty Of
81 cents a ton was suspended, and even.
people In the seaports failed to de-
rive any benefit from the change. The
foreign price was marked up to cover
the reduction. A reckless, chaotic OPP
position Is that OF the Democratic,
party against protection. Results to.
business are ignored If only the Re-
publican line car be penetrated and
confused. Formerly the Democratic
party demanded a tariff for revenue
only. Now it bowls for reciprocity,
and yet admits that the south, Ito
stronghold for votes, is entirely will
ing to retain its own share Of protec-
ton along with the rest of the Repub-
lican pre- sperity.

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY


st. Louis, Feb. 3.-The l~ong-expecA-

White River Country, between Car
thage, Mo, and Newport, Ark, is now an
accomplished, fact, through trains In
each direction on the new White River
Line having been inaugurated on jan

In connection with the. Tide Water
Line along the Mississippi river to the
Gulf. this marks the completion of q
new route between the Northwest and
the Southeast of great and growing
importance.
The commercial invasion by the rail-
way of mountain fastpesses in the
White River Country, in Missouri and
Arkansas, and of the lowland river dis
trict Of Southeastern Arkansas and
Louisiana, has not appeared feasible
until the present day.
With the accomplished fact of a
through line, a variety of landscape
and social conditions of the most d.
verse character is brought to view.
The products of the mine local, zinc,
lead, manganese, onyx and building
stones-inexhaustible quarries of fine

GREATER STOPPING W
War Department Has Decided to Go
Back to Heavy Caliber
RevOlvers.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The war de-
partment mas decided to 90 back to
the heavy caliber for army %revolvers
and to adopt a cartridge proposed by
the ordinance bureau carrying a bullet
of 45-caliber to replace the 3S-caliber
now in use.
The reason for the change is that it
is desired to have a bullet with great.
er stopping power than now in use.
Opportunity also is given for a de-,
cided Innovation in the type OF revol.
yer, The ordinance bureau has in.
vited manufacturers of pistols to en-.
ter into a competition and to submit
types of revolvers either of the auto
matte kind or along the lines of those
now used by the army. All weapons
submitted however, must be made for
the S of the 45-caliber cartridge
which has been adopted.
The competition will take place
some months hence.
