Two Important Amendments.
Missouri voters, as far as can be as
certained, are practically a unit in fa-
vor of the Louisiana Purchase Centen-
nial exposition, to be held in St. Louis
inn-. T i r . t
in 1903. In order to comply with the
conditions laid down by congress, and
to enable the fair to be held, the two
constitutional amendments 4 and 5
must be carried at the November elec
tion. As already explained Amend
ment No. 4 merely authorizes the city
of St. Louis to issue $5,000,000 in
bonds, and invest the proceeds in
World's Fair stock. Klectors through
out the state should have no hesita-
tion about giving the city of St. Louis
this net-mission. Amendment n 5 an- i
thorizes the legislature to make an-
nronriation out of the interest nn.l
debt sinkine fund for a Missouri state
r r . - -
exhibit at the World's Fair. This will j
impose no additional tax burden, '
while the benefits the state will de- j
rive from an exhibit of its resources i
and products can hardly be estimated i
in dollars and cents.

persons more or less seriously hurt,
while several other employes, who re
ceived lesser injuries, were not taken
to the hospitals.
The fire started in the basement,
which was used as a storeroom for
boxes and lumber. At first it was
thought some barrels of rubber ce
ment had exploded. But after the fire
was extinguished the barrels were
iounu to De intact. Ihe origin re
mains a mystery.
The flames spread so rapidly that
none of the employes on the second
and third floors were able to escape by
the stairway.
The girls employed in the build
ing were on the third floor, and when
the cry of fire was raised they be
came panic-stricken, and rushed for
the windows, where a general fight
followed in the efforts to get out. The
firemen took several (rirls from the
third-story front windows while oth-
i rs escaped from the rear by means
of fire escapes.
Alonzo D. Ireson jumped from the
third-story front window and, in fall
ing, brought with him a large sign
fastened to a ledge on the second
story to which three persons were
hanging. This precipitated all to the
j sidewalk, and Ireson was instantly
killed. The others escaped with lesser
! -
in juries.
The property losa is about twenty-
five thousand dollars. The stock of
Twitchell Brothers was destroyed, but
was fully insured.
