DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.

Two Chicago Boys Terribly Mangled by
One of the Anarchists stray Bombs.
Two little boys, Herman j acobs and
Ed. Croncke, while playing in yankee
alley" between Bissell Street and Shelf
field Avenue, Chicago, on the 22d,
found q round tin box about two
inches in diameter and shaped like a.
backing box. IL was tightly closed
and something within ratified like
money. The boys took it in the back
yard where young Jacobs lived. He
put the box upon a block and struck it
with an axe On striking the second
time the explosion occurred which was
heard blocks away. The boys were
thrown on their backs. The mother
Of Croncke rushed to the spot
and carried her son home. His wound
was in the left arm. A piece Of the
bomb had torn through his shirt
sleeve into his arm, and horribly
mangled the limb. The elder boy,
Herman, was ben ding over the can as
he was striking it with the axe. One
piece of the metal or substance in the
bomb struck his face above the jaw
near the chin, and passing through his
mouth, went out through his cheek,
leaving two large blackened holes. The
other pieces struck his left arm, MAX
ing very ugly wounds. The box was
evidently filed with dynamite, and is
supposed to have been thrown into
the alley by Anarchists.

The Great Provision King Suffering from
Rheumatisms
CHICAGO, H., July 21.-P. D. Ar
mour has not been down 20 his office
for q week now. Sensational stories
have been abroad here and very much
more sensational ones have been
afoat in New York, regarding his con-
dition. Mr.. Armour is laid up with
rheumatism. He is alarmed at this,
not because of any danger, hut be-
cause, being g very active man, he
fears that the attack may be
constitutional; that is it may
make a sort of a semi-invalid
of him. His father was sufferer from
rheumatism for twenty years. Mr..
Webster, his partner, is suffering from
it now, and is compelled to be out of
town for relief For this reason Mr..
Armour is taking heroic remedies to
get the thing out of his system. He
expects to leave the city the last of
this or the early part of next week and
will 60 either to the seashore or to
some springs. There has been at no
time any cause for anxiety as to his
condition. Mrs. Armour has not even
returned to her home from her sum-
mering, which is the best possible evil
dence that there is no serious sickness.

STEER BUTTER TAX.

Official Opinion to It's Amount and
Work of Collection.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 24.-Mr.
Miller, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, said to-day that he did not
think the enforcement of the provis-
ions Of the oleomargarine bill, (should
it become a law would increase the
expenses of his bureau very
much. The tax, he thought,
could easily be collected in the
same manner as the tax on tobacco,
as there will be no trouble in locating
the oleomargarine factories. It viii
undoubtedly necessitate extra outside
force in making the collections, but
very little additional help will be re-
CURED for office work. He estimated
that $4,000 would cover all the ex-
penses of the collections for the first
year, which collections, he thought,
would aggregate 81, 100000. He did
not think 6O,OOO,0OO pounds was an
excessive estimate of the annual pro-
duction of oleomargarine and was of
the opinion that the production will
increase from this time on, as man
ufacturers will regard the action of
Congress as an acknowledgment that
oleomargarine is not deleterious to
public health, and will put the article
on the market in large quantities.

Let Journalism Alone.

From an Article by Junius Henri Browne.l
An insurmountable objection to
journalism, as to every order of COM.
position, is that it is not progressive
financially. Most journalists are ex-
hausted after fifteen years or so OF
continuous service, and their earning
capacity is in danger of retrograding.
When fairly worn out. what is their
prospect? They are privileged to die
at their own expense. Their long SER
vice has untitled them for any other
business, and their circumstances are
desperate indeed. They have been I'M
able to save anything; they are not
pensioned; they have broken health
and poverty for reward. Who knows
OF a salaried journalist that has
gained even the modest independence
by pursuit of his profession? The po-
sition, too, is always preearious; he
may lose it at any time from no fault of
his own. The press may be free-its
liberty frequently runs into license
but he is often little else than serf.
The history of journalism is marked
by the graves of journalists, dead
from anxiety, annoyance and over
work by or before middle age The
purpose of this paper is to discourage
novices from entering a profession
which promises abundantly, but which
redeems almost none of it's pledges.

Several Persons Killed by Lightning
Buildings Blown Down.
A dispatch of the Goth from Minden,
Kearney County, Neb., says: Yes
terday's storm in this county was
very severe. There was heavy rain
fall. The wind blew down the Danish
Church, three miles south of Fred

Nels Monks. Nine miles south of Min.
den the lightning struck a. house, kill
ing Rasmus Dilletson, g. German farm
er, his son AL, II years old, and g.
daughter IA years old, and instantly,
and severely injured another child.
No damage to crops is reported. In
Western Nebraska and Eastern
Wyoming the rain, wind and hail
storm Of about one hours duration,
which began at 5:15 last evening, near
Pine Bluffs, Wyo., extending six miles
east and two miles west of that place,
blew down thirty telegraph poles, and
caused a washout of the Union Pacific
track, unroofed several houses, but
hurt no persons. Both the wires
and the road are in working order to-
