Bellinger Building
Destroyed by Flames,
Loss Being Complete
Structure Used as Storehouse and
Apartments for Several Persons
Set on Fire.

The old Bellinger hospital, located at
Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, was
totally destroyed by fire Of undoubted in
cendiary origin at an early hour yesterday.
Seven tenants were burned out, 5000 worth
Of onions we're destroyed and $1,000 worth
of other property consumed.
The building was built by Or. Fred
Belnnger in 1890 and was used for a hos
pital and sanitarium for a number Of years,
but finally ceased to be used. II remained
idle for several years and was then ac-
quired by w. T. Seaman, the veteran
Omaha wagon dealer. He built several
shed additions to It and continued to oc-
cupy it as a vehicle warehouse, sales sta
ton and repair shop until 1909, when he is
alleged to have sold it to a Missouri real
estate man for 800 acres Of Missouri farm
land. The owner. Mr.. Kifer. has leased 1t
for various purposes.
Five small families occupied a portion
Of the second floor which had been fitted
up for light housekeeping.
Alderman Ellsworth and his brother had
about $500 bushels of onions stored there,
ali Grated and ready for shipment. The
remainder Of the first floor was being con-
verified into a laundry by w. R. Kemp &
Son, who had installed about 81 800 worth
its operation on Monday
The onions were roasted and ruined, but
part Of the laundry machinery may have
some salvage in It. 1t was partially COW
cred by insurance and the onions were
protected by a 5000 risk
The families were driven from theii
rooms so hastily that they were unable
to save anything. They were: J. b
Hodgson, Joseph Gould, Mrs. Kraig, Mrs
Clara schili. Mrs. Lettie Bartlett and Mrs
Kramer, the latter representing the owner
as his agent. She was compelled to leave
valuable gold watch and diamond RIM
in her room when the fire drove her out
Both were found yesterday afternoon, thu
diamond uninjured, but the watch ruined
THE main building was S0x6O. exclusive o
sheds 1t was afire in all parts when tn
firemen got the alarm and, although Their
was abundant water pressure from tn
twenty four-inch main that passes tn
place, it was a complete loss.
Several of the main cables Of the Bel
Telephone company which are carried Of
poles past the building were melted an
burned in two. Three cables contained 15(
100 and 80 wires, respectively, and another
all of the trunk wires in the Counc

Action of war Department Taken In
Different sense--Ofrcers Say
Mexico Not BiE Enough for
Needed Lesson.

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 1S.AOrders
have been received here from washington
that General Carriers maneuver division
shall hold itself in readiness to break
camp and take the field as II for actual
warfare within two hours. The order
caused much comment, for the particular
reason that It did not come in the general
maneuvers orders issued by General
Carter today, but from the seat OF the
government.
Such an order means a blanket, -ten days
rations, shelter tents, 900 rounds Of am
munition, etc.
The order to be in readiness for opera
lions in the field, while it might be a
legitimate feature Of maneuvers, is not
taken in that sense.
Excepting the generals, to whom long
years have taught conservatism, every one
rejected the maneuver theory, but could
not explain where war was to be eK-
pected. One officer OF prominence said
today he hoped Mexico and the United
States would not become embroiled.
1--WE could defeat Mexico and there
would be no lesson learned. The unthink-
ing in congress would have another object
to point to, to show that we can depend
on the volunteers in an emergency. We

A strong lesson is needed. Japan or
Germany would serve-preferably the
former because Of her geographical sit
uation. They are quite capable OF at
lacking us, with their perfect preparedness
whenever ready. We have spent ten days
in turmoil gathering handful of men in
Texas. Ultimately we should triumph, but
the ultimate cost would be appalling. II
would be much cheaper, even in money, let
alone lives, to treble our force, than to
take such lesson, considering the re-
sultant pension rolls alone"
Officers cannot be quoted for publica-
ton where criticism of superiors is in
volved, or to be inferred, but the man who
made the foregoing statement has a repu,
tation which extends beyond the army.

Relative to the situation In Mexico and
