The matter was this morning referred
to Inspector Clark, of Walla Walla,
and hi? decision is now awaited. The
advertisement referred to a suit club
being formed, where a suit Is won on a
little money if the proper card Is
drawn. )
The paper was running a guessing
contest, giving a buggy a,s a premium,

Loss Far Over-estimated.
Baltimork, Feb. 22. The Baltimore

Insurance companies involved In the
Baltimore lire. The total loss Is $;I2,
St'4.WK), ol which H,000.noo falls on the
IihmI compantrs. The- estimated total
ofsilvagc Is $l,"C!i,700, which leaves a
net loss to the Insurance companies of
931,095,100.
It has been learned that many of the
large wholesale dry goods houses
formed an insurance pwl among them
selves, which amounted to about $.", 000,
000, from which practically nothing
will be realized. Another develop
ment Is that very few of the tenants of
the so-called fire-proof building carried
any insurance.
