DOUBLE EXPLOSION
Frightful Calamity in a Chi
cagO Sugar Refinery.

Destruction of the Building by Fir~-Ths
Sound OF the Explosion Heard Mile
Away-Thousands OF workmen Rush to
the Scene--A Large Number Seriously
Injured-Names Of the Dead.
CHICAGO, March 2S.-Six or eight men
wounded last eveing, as the result of a
the corner of Beach and Taylor streets.
The refinery is sixteen stories high, the
largest in the West, and employs 800
men, divided into day and night gangs,
A few minutes before 8 o'clock, as the
day mon were preparing to leave, the
largest boiler in the establishment ex-
ploded. The flames which Immediately
followed the explosion reached the
starch department and occasioned q
second explosion, tearing away three
floors of the mammoth structure
The sound of the explosion was heard
a mile away. and attracted thousands
of workmen who were fastening home
ward to the scene. A "4-11" alarm W as
sent in, and every fire department in
the city responded.
The main damage was in the starch
house, q two-story structure that was
added to the slXteen-story refinery three
years ago. The second explosion is sup
posed to have been due to the ignition
of tho fine mill dust that filed the air
The fact that the freboats responded
to the alarm gave rise to the report that
the shipping in the vicinity was on Are
The freboats added their tremendous
volume of water to those of the engines
and standpipes and saved the refinery
proper and the valuable surrounding
manufacturing property.
Before 8 O'Clock sixteen wounded men
had been removed and three bodies dis
covered, all 80 badly disfgured that
they could not be identified. Eight of
the men who were found at first sustain
ed injuries of no particular consequences,
but of the II wounded and found deep
in the burning pile many will die.
Nothing conld be mare horrible than
the sight of the bodies taken out of tho
ruins. Two of them were mere trunks,
the arms and legs having been burned
away and the faces so mutilated
and disfgured as to be absolutely un-
recognizable.

Later reports show that at least twelve
men are missing. Those whose names
have been lear ned are as follows, and
they are all believed to be dead: Albert

the entire Kansas delegation to sus-
tain the speaker ON q collateral ques-
ton. The Monitor expressed its opin-
ion at the time about that vote. We
felt that we should have liked to see
the Speaker downed just one time by
Western Republicans, and we believe
that Mr.. Funston should have led the
fight against him. The effect of such
a course would have either passed the
bill as it came from the Senate or have
driven the Democrats into expressing
their hypocrisy. Later developments
have shown that the Democrats would
not have passed the Senate bill had
half the Republicans in the House
come to its support. Mr.. Funston's
constituents are divided as to the mer-
its of his vote In sustaining Speaker
Reed. But granting that to have
been a mistake, as we believe it was,
IL is still not true that he voted against
the Senate free coinage amendments,
and the charge made as it is In po-
litical platform will react against the
party making 1t.

Our support has been given him be-

k.n.a. Republican. Organising.

The Kansas Republican League is
being thoroughly organized through
out the State.
The objects of the League are to en-
courage and assist i'm the formation of
permanent Republican clubs; to unite
such clubs for effective and organized
work; to facilitate the distribution of
political literature; and, generally, to
advance the interest of the Republican
party. The League was organized at
a convention held I'm Topeka, on
March y, 1888, and has had a steady
growth. There are now more than 80
clubs in the State. The League did
some very effective work in the CAM
paign of 1888, and it promises to be a
very influential factor i'm the approach
ing campaign.
This county should be well organlz>
ed. There should be an active Repub-
lican club I'm every city and township
in the county. Mr.. Arthur Capper of
Topeka, the State Secretary of the
League, informs us that he will be
glad to furnish anyone desiring to Or
ganize a Republican club a copy of the
constitution and bylaws, and anyoth-
er information which is necessary for
the organization of club.

Henry Watterson: Happily, we

which never fioated over a mean or
cowardly action; whose history Is an
unbroken story of patriotism and val
or, and which, as it spreads itself to
the battle and the breeze, to the sun
shine and the storm, tells to heaven
and earth as plainly as words could
tell, the origin and genius of our great

w. HI. SLAvENs, prominent at
torney of Yates Center, in his Grafton
to the farmers at the celebration at
Toronto, said: "All over this State
the farmers are grumbling at hard
times and attributing 1t to legislation
against their interest, and yet when it
comes to the test, these same men will
allow some fellows to prejudice them
against the only men who stand by
their interest, IN the face of the
strongest opposition from these poll
ticians who hate them-and vote
every time in Congress for every meas
ure in the interest of the farmer
Kelley and Funston. If the farmers
of Kansas can not trust their interests
In Congress to such honest, horny-fist-
ed farmers as Kelley and Ed. Funsto ton,
In the name of common sense whom can
they trust? No men have stood SO
much abuse, .and yet have never
flinched from duty, in voting every
time in the best interest of the farmers
be not deceived. No other men in
these districts would do better, and
the opposition have been brought from
men who would be governed by the
politicians against the farmers every
time. The farmers will never have
legislation i'm their interest until they
learn to stand by their man when they
get him there"

MIR. FUNsrON,s CLAIMS

Let the people ask the Funston
strikers everywhere this question
"Does the position of congressman be-
long to Funston or not?' Fit does
not, has not its possession for three
terms satisfied his claims? Make them
answer it.-LdTreace Record.
No, the position of congressman does
not belong to Mr.. Funston. And he
has no "claims" on the office except
pre-eminent ability to fill 1t. The
Funston strikers" as the Record
courteously calls the American citizens
who are exercising what they consider
their right, to support the candidate
of their. choice, are not urging Mr..
Funston's denomination for the mere
sake of gratifying his or their personal
ambition. If that were their only plea
then indeed would their hope be vain.
They urge his denomination and re-
election because they are thoroughly
convinced that his services ia the Fiji
ty-second Congress UiU be scorth more
to he's District than the serrice of any
other man could be. As proof of this
they point to his ample legislative ex-
perience, making him familiar with
every detail of the complicated ma
chinery of law making, to his wide &C
quaintance and personal popularity
among his fellow members giving him
a hold on and an influence over them
that no new man could have, to his
painstaking and effective work dur
ing the past six years on behalf of his
individual constituents, to his thor
ough sympathy with the best senti-
ment of the District at large as evil
denced byhis vote on the antitrust bill,
his emphatic report on the bill &c pre-
vent gambling in futures, his eloquent
appeal for service pensions and his
persistent efforts in the direction of
free silver coinage. With this sort of
a record behind him, a record which
has made him chairman of a great
committee and with the man i'm the
very prime and ripeness of his physi-
cal and mental strength, his friends
certainly venture nothing in predict
ing increased usefulness for him in
the future. The only appeal they
make for him is for fair play, that the
people he has SO faithfully served be
not turned from him by malignant
misrepresentation. The only "claim"
they urge is the claim of pre-eminent
fitness to perform well the arduous
duties of his high Office.

And that is that they are Republican
