GASOLINE EXPLOSION,

Mr. and Mrs. Driscoi Badly Burned and
Their House Considerably Damaged.
A fire alarm was turned In at 80 O'Clock
this afternoon from box "a, corner Of Cen
ter street and Obenchain alley. The fire
was Occasioned by the explosion of gsso-
line stove in the residence of Mr.. James
Driscol. 376 south Factory street The
stove wss in the summer kitchen, and this
with the kitchen in the main house and the
wall between the kitchen and main part Of
the house are almost ruined. The burning
oil was, of course, thrown over everything,
and the inside of the room was literally q
fame of fire.
Mr.. Driscol was severely burned about
the head and arms. and Mrs. Driscol was
also seriously burned. She worked SO hard
In attempting to save the furniture, how
ever, that she did not notice that her burns
were at all serious until everything was
over, and the exertion, together with the
burns, leaves her In very serious, IL not
critical, condition. Mr.. Driscol, although
the most seriously burned. is less pros
trated than his wife, and his condition is
not SO serious.
Neighbors assisted In moving the furni-
ture, SO that 1t was comparatively little
damaged. The entire loss will reach about
S400, covered by $1,000 insurance in the
Phoenix, of Hartford, Conn.
The prompt response of the department
prevented what might have been a much
more disastrous fire. Not . policeman
could be found In the neighborhood,
although diligent search was made,
in places where they ought to be. At the
next fire, Ii was suggested. It will be In
order to look for them where they ought
not to be and the searchers may be more
fortunate In finding them. 1t has been
suggested also that they probably had
leave Of absence this afternoon to go anu
try on their new prince Alberts."

To call man charming in face, or
lovely, or beautiful, or pretty, is to mimi
miZe-almost 10 insult him. A man can
only be called handsome, and very, very
few men can be called that.
A handsome man mus, be manly in
figure, conveying the idea Of strength and
eneI " under the most reposeful exterior.
He must have the shapely hands, feet anc
eara that tell of good blood and cultivated
progenitors; he must have his head well
shaped, well set and well carried; he
must have a deep, broad chest and q
straight back, and long shapely limbs;
his features must be regularly formed,
and yet full OF expression and the kingly
power that great sculptos try to give to
Jupiter.
Colorng does not much matter, so that
there be no red upon the cheeks, and not
toe much in the lips, and, perhaps, the
mezzo tints lend themselves most salts
factorily to manly beauty, but, above all,
the handsome man must never be stout.
The heavy throat which overflows the
shirt collar never carries with it an air of
refinement, whatever it may do of
strength. A blonde man runs the risk of
weakness and insipidity, and black
be trihe melodramatic, but still golden
haired and black haired men have been
very attractive the world over.
OF course below this grand climacteric
in the thoroughly handsome man there
are ranks after ranks Of good looking,
attractive, pleasant faced men-sone
upon whom one loves TO look and find
sweet content in contemplating faces and
forms far from faultless, and yet quite
satisfactory And here we come upon
one of the most strange and almost cruel
conditions of our being. A man may or
may not be handsome, he may or may
not have any physical attractiyeness what
ever, but nobody likes him the less for the
deficiency, he never finds 1t barrier in
his career, a source of failure in his life;
women love him and men approve of him
just as readily as II he is handsome: in
fact, the woman or women who love him
set him down as handsome In serene de-
fiance of the rules of beauty or the opin-
ion Of the world.-Mrs. Frank Leslie.

SALT At ANTHONY.

B. H. Steadman and Mr.. Rathbone,
two of Anthony's leading citizens and
who are largely interested in the salt de-
velopment at that point, were In the city
Yesterday. The first well is down and a
brine, stronger than any reported IN the
books, rises several hundred feet IN the
well. These waters have been not only
subjected to chemical and other scien-
tifc tests, but have been evaporated, and
the result is astonishing, The salt is not
only rated by the chemists as the purest
vet found but the brine is of such
strength as to be succeptable of holding
no more salt in solution, nearly
two-thirds of the weight being pure salt
when evaporated. The machinery and
appliances for the first well are going IN
and salt will be turned out within sixty
or seventy days. In the meantime other
wells are going down. so that without
question Anthony is sure of steady in

which there will be an ever increasing
market SO long as man shall inhabit the

suppose your columns have fully re-
ported the G. A. R. reunion, yet having
Just returned from Columbus, desire to
say few words relative to political de-
velopment noticed during the recent ex-
cursion. Our train was first polled for
straw vote while passing through Mis-
souri,. The result was Republicans r.,
Democrats 81, Fisk 4, Streeter 8. This
was the largest Democratic proportion in
any train polled, one train in Ohio poll
ing 4S0 Republicans to 10 Democrats.
During the parade at Columbus noticed
upon the reviewing stand ex-President
Hayes and wife, General Sherman,
Judge Thurman. Fred Grant and wife,
Mrs. Logan and her son John, Jr., who
is very handsome and popular young
fellow, with his fathers hair and eyes;
also governors of several states and
other distinguished personages, among
whom Warner Miller, of New York, was
prominent. The thousands of G. A. r. s
marched past, for the most part carry
ing Harrison fans, which We're pointed
significantly toward the reviewing stand.
The returns from Maine had come
in the previous evening and
the Maine delegation together
with those of Vermont and
Oregon, received frequent cheers from
the swarming thousands along the line
of march. Everywhere there was in
tense enthusiasm for the Republican
candidates. A few days after the parade

crowded with returning G. A. Rs. A
passenger informed me that at 1ronton
they had passed extensive iron works
upon which was painted in great letters,

windows, cheered to the echo for Har-
rison and Morton, followed by responsive
cheers from the operatives. 1t is in

II finally found the Kansas exhibit I'M
der the charge OF very pleasant and ac-
commodatng gentleman, by the name OF
H. L. Pierce, of Wichita, who told me that
they had tried hard to get the state to
make an appropriation for grand display
of Kansas products but failed. The board
of trade at Wichita took the matter Ia
hand and tried to get several counties
around Sedgwick county to 90 Ia with
them and collect things and help to de-
fray the expenses. but they failed in that.
Then they said I'VE will do il ourselves"
and raised about & 900 to pay the expenses.
Now let me say they deserve credit for the
grand display they have made under the
circumstances. They have nearly all the
products OF the country. corn, wheat,
grasses, potatoes, monster watermelons,
woods, an immense amount Of advertising
and the largest grasshopDer IN the world
The Kansas exhibit Is talked about and
visited by grea: numbers Of people, and If
we had gone into this thing az we
should, we could have done good work for
Kansas. Wichita deserves great credit for
doing what they have, sud M. Pierce also
for talking up Kansas 10 those who come

GUERRILLA BROOKS.

To theEdtor OF the EAGLE:
Jno. A. Brooks, candidate on the bre-
Democratic ticket for vice president,
said in his talk Thursday last in this city,
he did not belong to the Confederate
army but was guerrilla. The knowl-
edge of all soldiers, gathered by expert
ence with the murderous guerrilla, is,
that he was sneaking, cowardly assas-
sin-lacking courage to belong to q
regular command and join in open war
fare. but infested the brush and under
growth common to the southern states,
sneaking along the TANKS and rear OF
our army, and when the footsore, weary,
tired. overmarched soldier would stop
for rest BY the road side, the murderous
guerrilla would steal upon him and take
his life.
know of many instances of this kind
both in Kentucky and Tennessee, and as
Brooks lived and operated in the former
state it is not unfair that loyal people
should associate his name with the muir
der OF some mothers fair haired boy,
He having now announced his part In
the war, permit me to exclaim from the
depths of my loyal heart, thank God,
we have no Jesse James or Guerrilla
Brooks in Kansas. Very truly,

SLUSS AND SMITH.

Valley Center News.
The Republicans, with a few Demo.
Gratis, We're treated with the biggest rally
ever held in this place last night. IL had
been announced by the Republican cen
trail committee that Hon. III. c. Sluss
would address the people of Valley Cen
ter upon the political situation, and he
did. If there was any doubt AS TO how
he stood upon the tariff question in the
minds of the hearers before the speech,
that doubt was most thoroughly cleared
up last night. So far as we understand
the question we most heartily endorse
his position. In fact his whole speech
abCunded in his old style of oratory.
There is not more sound or logical
speaker in the state than the Hon. II. c.
Siuss. Following his speech came a sur
prise in the way OF a speech from Farm
er Smith Of Mcpherson, ex-spealIef Of
the house of representatives of 80 81.
While he differed from Mr.. Sluss in some
of the minor particulars OF the tariff
question, still, in the main, they agreed,
at least in one particticular, that is. they
Were both old soldiers and red-hot Re
publicans.
The meeting continued until half past
