FIRE COMPLETES
ITS DESTRUCTION
Legislature Decides to Provide Itself
With Temporary Quarters During
Present Week.

jefferson City, Mo-, Feb. T. The
fire at the state capitol building broke
into flames again last night after
smouldering twenty-four hours and
spreading to the Office of the govern
nor and secretary of state, completed
the destruction of Missouri's capitol
which lightning started Sunday night
There is no water to stop the progress
! of the flames, and at late hour 1t
seemed that the extreme end of the
south wing will meet the fate of the
center of the building.
The treasurer's Office now appears
to be the only section of the capitol
that may escape destruction.
The legislature has decided to con.
| tinue the present session in Jefferson
City, and a joint committee will find
suitable locations for both branches
during the present week. Offers of
other cities to furnish quarters were
declined with thanks
Governor Hadley, in a special mes
sage, urged that provision be made
for a new building and submitted to
the people for a referendum vote with
in three months. He opposed con-
stitutional amendment because of the
delay necessitated.
While part of the house journal was
destroyed, the minute book was saved,
so that the record can be made up
again, and all actions legalized
Bills pending in the senate will not
be affected, as the senate records were
saved Both branches will reconvene
this afternoon.

GIRLS

At the Auditorium on Thursday night
the theatre-goers of Vinita will have
a chance to see the magnificent pro.
|duction of Girls the successful Clyde
Fitch play that ran for over 225 per
formances at Daly's Theatre, New
York.
Many are the trials and tribulations
that the girls go through. Thei sacred
hat-pin oath of forever remaining un-
married is dashed to pieces by one of
their number and soon after all the
rest succumb to the little god love.
The three young ladies have come
to New York to make their way in the
world One is a secretary, another a
stenographer, while a third is going
on the stage. They live on the fourth
floor of an apartment building just
across the air-shaft from the girl who
"elocutes," and who, being far from
a man-hater, is continually spying upon
their movements. Among the difficult
ties graphically pictured is that of
their going to bed in sleeping aecomo-
dations which consist of a folding bed,
sofa couch and Morris chair. The
scene is shown with all the perfection
of detail for which Clyde Fitch is so
noted.
Just as they are about to retire for
the night in rushes a man, unexpected
ly and unannounced, the first one of
the sterner sex that has crossed their
threshold The intruder is finally COM
PEELED to leave by way of the window
of the triumvirate in their struggle to
avoid the sterner sex presented in
Fitch's lightest and best vein and the
entire three acts sparkle and glisten
with true humor and wit

President Taft is sorely perplexed
lover the civil war raging in the re.

tiers and progressives. He is afraid to
progress lest the standpatters defeat
him. He is being consumed between
two fires. The progressive movement
lin the republican party is now being
organized in every state 1t is feared
that it will dominate that organization.
The plan is to organize in every pre-
Icinct in the United States and make
la concerted and vigorous fight for the
nation control of the party.

Attempt to Defeat Direct Election.
The republican leaders in the SEN

down the constitutional amendment
for the direct election of United States
senators with intolerable amendments
which would lead to its defeat and
thus cheat the American people of
that most salutary reform which every
body favors and nobody opposes except
few trust chosen senators.
The senate is still debating the ques-

The Ship Subsidy Graft.
A frantic effort is being made by the

DR.. C. F. CRECELUS CANDIDATE FOR THE DEMOCRATIC
NOMINATION FOR SECRETARY OF STATE
PERIL OF VOLCANIC WAVES
ors Than Seismic Disturb
ances at Sea.

Occasionally there appears a great
wave sweeping across the calm sur
face of the ocean in the fairest
weather and when no wind is blow
ing. There are few perils of the
sea to be more dreaded than such a
wave. Fortunately these are very
rare, yet more than once a ship has
encountered one.
The cause Of these singular waves
is believed to be some disturbance
of volcanic nature at the bottom Of
The sea. Volcanoes exist in the
ocean as we'll as on land; in fact,
nearly all the volcanoes known are
on or near the sea coast. 1t is easy
TO see that an upheaval at the sea
bottom may start a billow at the
surface of the water, when we re-
member that huge waves have been
sent clear across the Pacific ocean to
San Francisco by volcanic shakings
of the earth on the borders of Asia.
The world under water is not
only three times as extensive as that
which is covered only with air, but
it possesses many of the same great
natural phenomena on scale which
is perhaps proportionately vast, but
of whose existence we are made
aware only by such indications as
the volcanic ocean waves that ships
OCCASIONALLY encounter.

NEVER LOST ITS NOVELTY

tell Of an amusing letter once sent by
Thomas Bailey Aldrich to Prof. E.

very illegible, says Human Life. Ac-
cording to Doctor Hale, Mr.. AL
drich wrote as follows:
"My Dear Morse: 1t was very
pleasing to get your recent letter.
Perhaps l should have been more
pleased had | been able to decipher
the same. I have not been able to
master any Of it beyond the date,
which | knew, and the signature,
which l guessed at. There is sin
gular and perpetual charm in let
ter of yours; it never grows old, it
never loses its novelty One can say
to ones self every morning; Here's
that letter of Morse's. | haven't read
it yet. l think III take another shy
at it today, and maybe 1 shall, in the
course of a few months, be able to
make out what it means by those
is that look like WIS and those is
that have no eyebrows. Other letters
are read and thrown away, but yours
are kept forever--unread. One of
them will last a reasonable man
lifetime. Admiringly yours,

ANCIENT CHURCH CUSTOMS.

In the age of witchcraft and super
stition it was believed that the fairies
built the old kinks in Glasgow and
that they had a right to them; so
said Mr.. w. B. Paterson, lecturing
before the Old Glasgow club. The
accommodation afforded the parish
toner's was very different from the
present luxurious age. There were
no pews in Scottish kinks before the
reign of Charles l. The people had
to bring their stools with them and
those that did not do this simply sat
down on the floor For the evening
service Pensioners likewise brought
candlesticks and candles. On the
question Of the separation of the sex
es Mr.. Paterson mentioned the inter-
esting fact that there still existed a
church in the city where this rule
was obseryed.-London Globe.
