A Terrible Explosion.

At 2:20 O'Clock Friday morning Winnie
mucca was shaken from one end to the
other by the explosion Of a ton or more Of
| giant and black powder that was stored at
N. Levy Il Co.'s powder.house on the old
Humboldt canal above the town. Many
of the inhabitants were parslyzed with
fright, and for 8 time thought the end Of
| the world had ONE Lamps, pictures and
| other articles were thrown from walls;
glass and chinsware were broken, doors
forced from their fastenings, window
blinds town off, and windows shattered to
| pieces. Serious damage was done many
| buildings. and q jury in the Courthouse
at the time thought the building was about
to fall upon them. There are various
| theories as TO the cause of the explosion.
| Many are of the opinion that the maya
/ n was fired by an ~incendiary, and
| Sheriff Fellows authorizes the Silver State
to offer $500 for the arrest and convic-
| tion Of the person or persons who fred the
| powder-house or half the amount
for information that may lead to that re-
suit. Others think that gas generated
in the powder-house, which was tightly
| closed, caused the explosion, while more
| hold TO the opinion that black and giant
powders, stored together for any length Of
| time, will eventually result in an ex-
plosion.

Many of our business men are now
asking the question ''what has become
of the proposed o. y. & w. railroad !?
1t is now claimed that the directors
who had the matter in hand, worked
the scheme up and after getting the
bonds voted sold the people out by sell
ing the right of way to the Rock Island
railroad, netting to them about S., 900
each. If this is a fact every man en-
gayed in the scheme should be forever
remembered by the voters. And if it
Is not true let these men come forward
and prove themselves clear of the grave
charges with which they are charged,
and enlighten the people in the matter.
The bonds were voted in good faith by
the people and if the road is going to
be built they want to know it. If the
matter is not fully explained very soon
tits quite likely that the animals in the
cage will get stirring up.
