Home Merchants Eaxorea..

The business men Of Helena are feeling
very happy these days over the increasing
tendency seen among the people of Helena
to patronize home merchants. They have
for years been trying to educate the people

good goods and reasonable prices in the
west. Their efforts, seconded by the news
papers of the city, seem to be producing the
desired results,
Messrs. Raleigh d Clarke, the largest dry

A Profitable Investment.

A Profitable Investment.
People are constantly on the alert for a
profitable investment, trying to turn an
honest penny"
The investment of a few SCENTS in a jar of
Cudahy's Rex beef extract will not bring
you wealth directly, in dollars and cents,
but will bring you a wealth of comfort.
That means which will bring the greatest
happiness permanently is to be most de-
sired and sought after.
The use of beef extract is not a luxury;
formerly it was regarded as such. Many
good housewives regard it as q necessity.
The wide field of usefulness in which it
may be employed is enlarging as intelligent
people are made acquainted with it's p op-
critics and merits.
Minds are becoming disabused of the idea
that beef extract IL a medicine, finding it a
highly useful acquisition to the larder OF
all we'll regulated households for making
beef tea and improving the flavor of soups,
stsws, Rravies, etc.

Natural Gas Explosion

CoLUMBLs, o., January IA terrific ex-
plosion of natural gas, in which fine resi-
dence was destroyed, two churches partially
destroyed and about fifty houses damaged, in
which the family of Judge John S. Brassee
had q miraculous escape from death or seri-
GUS injuries, occurred at Lancaster, O., about
twenty-five miles south of here. The judge
was in bis study down stains in his residence,
q twenty room brick structure in the center
of town, when the explosion occurred, while
his family were in bed.
The house was RACED to the ground and
Judge Brassee thrown about 100 feet into the
street ON to the car track, where he was picked
up in dazed condition. Mrs. Brassee and
her two daughters, Clara and Anna, and two
sons, Trafford and Charles, were in their
beds on the second floor. The boys were
hurled $50 feet into the Lutheran church
yard, while the women were caught by the
falling roof. They were rescued twenty min
utes later in their night clothes and they were
found to be all cuts and bruises. There were
four servants, who escaped with only slight
Commissions. Remarkable to relate, none of
the people in the house were even seriously
injured.

EXPLODED.
ThRry-Fiye Tons of Powder at
One Shot.
Heard Twenty-Five Miles; Earth
Shook Ten Miles Away; Windows
Broken Three Miles Away-Coun-
try Strewn With Fragments.

CINCINNATI, O., January 2O.-The Phoenix
powder mills, situated at Central City, near
Ceredo, and about half way between Hunt
ington, W. Va, and Catlettsburg, KY, are
exploded. This is the third explosion of this
mill within three months and is by all odds
the most destructive one. How the awful
wreck was brought about will never be known,
because not soul that was in the mill is left
alive to tell the story.
At $50 o'clock people in Ironton, twenty
i've gailes away, heard terrible decorating
roar. In Ceredo, three miles away, windows
were broken and wares in stores shaken from
the shelves. In Catlettsburg, nearly ten
miles away, the earth shook and the people
were alarmed.
1t has been ascertained that the first explo-
sion was in the glazing mill, where there were
ten tons of powder. Then, successfully, the
packing house, magazine, canning mill and
four wheel mill, and lastly car loaded with
gunpowder were hurled in fierce fragments
through the air.
Not a vestige of the entire plant remains,
and the country for half a mile around is
strewn with fragments of buildings and of the
bodies of five men, tho victims of the dis
aster.
It is believed that not less than thirty-five
tons of powder were burned in the several e1-
plOSions

special atse4taon, and the result is Il has IL
ready passed the senate with NO opposition.
It b now before the public lands committee
of the house, and those who are Interested IN
the measure say that it wiz pass tho house
early in the session. Il differs only IN o few
particulars from the bill by which the Fort
Dodge reservation was granted to the state
for the purpose of soldiers home. The bill
as it comes from the senate grants two Sec
tons and one-half of the lands embraced
within the Fort Hays military reservation, to
include all the buildings located thereon, on
condition that the state of Kansas shall within
two years establish a soldiers home. Two
and one-half sections, which embraces all
the timber on the reservation, is also granted
the state upon condition that the state make
of the same and maintain thereon q public
park. The bill contains provision that the
United States Is to resume possession of the
lands whenever it shall appear that the state
OF Kansas has ceased to use the same for
public purposes. According to the bill, the
remainder of the reservation is to be opened
to settlement under the homestead laws, but
no entry is to embrace more than eighty acres.

Nineteen Poor CrIpples Burned.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND.-The Surgical Institute
burned at midnight.
Two hundred and forty-six patients and
thirty nurses were sleeping in the two four
story buildings.
At $50 q. m. there were nineteen dead
bodies; some were killed by jumping, but
others were suffocated or burned to death.
When the fire department arrived the poor
helpless cripples were hanging on fire escapes
and in every window. The heartrending
cries of those shut in the burning building
mingled with the shouts of fremen and
police.
Heroic deeds of rescue were performed,
and for several hours the delusion was enter
tanned that all the inmates had been saved.
In one room a mass of roasted humanity
lay entwined. When their bodies were disen-
gagged it was found that there were seven per-
sons in that mass alone.
The scene in Griffith 8 restaurant was awful.
Little children half clothed were crying for
their parents; mothers were crying for their
lost children, and prayers of thankfuIness for
escapes all mingled with the cries of the in
jured. The same thing was gone through
with at the Grand hotel, whittier q few were
carried.
It was, however, worse in the Weddell
house. The halls and rooms were crowded
with the sufferers; some ON tha bare floors
and some on mattresses, all pleading for
help.
There were many acts of heroism during
the fire.

A Kansas Case Confirmed.

A Kansas Case Confirmed.
81. LOUIS, January 26.-The case of William
E. Cox against the board of county commits
sioners of Doniphan county, Kan, was
brought up before Judge Caldwell in cham.
bers ON q motion for rehearing, the judge
sitting as circuit judge of the district Of Kan-
sas. Colonel ]. DOniphan, of st. Joseph,
Mo-, appeared as counsel for the plaintiff,
while the interest of the defendants was
guarded by G. H. Fitzpatrick, of Leayenworth.
The action was brought by Mr.. Cox, the
holder of 500, 600 worth of Doniphan county
bonds which were issued in aid of certain
railroads, to force the county to pay the inI
terest coupons, amounting to neasiy 1900.
The county commissioners refused to redeem
the coupons on the ground that they were ex-
empt by the statute of limitation. Last June
the case was brought up before Supreme Juss
tice Brewer and Circuit Judge Caldwell, al
Topeka, on demurrer to the plaintiff petition
when the coupons sued on were to large
amount held to be barred by the statute Of
limitation. The court now adheres to its
former decision and the motion for a rehear-
ing was overruled.

NAsHMeroN, d. c., January 2.-While the
cabinet did not meet as a body, the joint
presence of Secretaries Blaine, Elkins and
Tracy at the White house bore strong re-
semblance to meeting of the cabinet. They
remained in conference with the president
for long time: and General ]. w. Foster
was called in for consultation. The discus
sion related generally to Gillian matters, the
questions mostly under discussion being the
presidents message to congress on that sub
ject.
Secretary Tracy received message from
Commander Evans saying the Yorktown,
with the refugees On board, would sail for
Callao from Valparaiso. This is taken as an
indication that all is quiet in Chill.
Captain Schley, of the cruiser Baltimore.
now at Vallejo, CAL, was shown the reports OF
Procurator Fiscal, of Valparaiso, as pub
lished. He said: 81 am not at all surprised
by this report. Such conclusions were rem
dered necessary to sustain the Gillian con-
tentions in the case. There is no possible
doubt that Riggin was killed by rifle bullet
fired by the soldiers. johnson was STOPPING
over and supporting Riggin on his left arm
and shoulder. The soldiers fired at only SIX
feet distance. bullet pierced the shirt and
neckerchief covering the right shoulder OF
johnson, then struck Riggin in the neck, In
ficting the wound which the doctors say
caused instant death"

The Railroads Side.

CHICAGO, January 26.-The railroad COM
panies are beginning to regard Kansas with
as much anxiety and forebodina as they did
Iowa three years ago. The railway commits
sioners of the former state seem to be emulat-
ing those of Iowa in making . record for
themselves at the expense of the transports
ton companies. Their latest order, direct
ing a reduction as early as February i, OF
fifth class rates from the Missouri river TO IN
terror Kansas jobbing points, is serlous
blow to lines interested in Kansas trafac.
The average reduction has been from to
cents per 100 pounds on fifth class, which -
largely car load freight, and will directly
affect the fourth class, which is less than car
lots, and indirectly other classes. There Is
also considerable grumbling over the order
to reduce the live stock rate cents per 100
pounds to Hutchinson and Wichita, Kan, as
within radius of eighty-fve miles. These
DEGREES follow so closely upon the wholesale
grocery decision of January z, that western
managers are beginning to wonder where the
end will be. Some gossip Is heard In regard
to the edict in the sugar case, in which the
Kansas commissioners overruied the decision
of the interstate commerce commission. The
opinion is expressed that the lines, the reve-
nues of which are seriously affected, will de-
eide to appeal to the courts.

lion Of Tie Chilisn question. The proceed
ings. were only temporarily interrupted by
perenced another attack OF indigestion, &C.
companied with nausea, and felt so mcom-
Portable that he left the meeting about 12:16
O'Clock and went riding later with Secretary
Elkin's in the latter's carriage.
There is reason to believe that the govern
ment has received dispatches through the
Gillian minister looking to peaceful end
pute, and that they were submitted to tho
cabinet. This will have a most Important
bearing on the question of submitting the
correspondence to congress at present, and it
may possibly do away altogether with the
necessity of referring the question to con-
gress. It is known that the president desires
to exhaust all the diplomatic means before
submitting the matter to congress for action.

DISCRIMINATING Counties.

TOPEKA, January 23.-Attomey General
Ives has begun quo warranto proceedings in
The supreme court to disorganize Garfield
county and remove from Office the county
officials.
General Ives says the way Garfield and
other western counties are conducted is an
outrage on the state. He says they were SIM
ply organized to furnish places for politi-
cidns.
The county clerks returns shows the as
sessed valuation of property in Garfield coun-
ty to be $417, 1903. The five mills levy allowed
by law for county expenses, therefore gives
them just $2,0e6 year to pay all the county
officers and other expenses. The law has
been flagrantly disregarded and to-day the
county is $50 900 in debt, the most of which
has gone to pay attorneys in the county seat
fight which has existed ever since the county
was organized by the legislature in 1887. -
Another reason General Ives gives for disor,
ganizing the county, is that the constitution
requires all counties to contain 432 square
miles, but Garfield has but 428 miles within
its boundaries.
General Ives says there are dozen western
Kansas counties which should be disorganized
at once. They have not enough taxable
property to pay county expenses, and the
officers who are running them are commit
ting crime in contracting debts which can
not be paid.

To Raise the Rates on Salt.

To Raise the Rates on SAT-.
ST. LOUIS, January N.-The Southwestern
Railway & Steamship associations rate COM
mittee is holding meeting in this city which
will last the entire week. One of the most
important matters on the docket is the ques-
ton of salt rates. The proprietors of the
Texas salt works, and also the Galveston
shippers, are complaining that they cannot
compete with the salt producers of Kansas
and Michigan and that they are not protected
by Texas. delegation of them appeared
before the railroad commissioners of that
state and asked that the railroads be required
to put up their rates on Kansas and Michigan
salt. Unless that is done they would have to
90 out of business, as they could not possibly
compete with outside dealers. They. could
not produce their salt as cheaply as the salt
of Kansas and Michigan can be produced,
and as the state has forbidden them from
putting a tariff on this Michigan and Kansas
salt, the only way the Texas producers and
dealers could be protected was by the raising
of freight hates on the Kansas and Michigan
Article.

Train Robbers Shot.

LAMAR, Mo-, January 26.-Two men board
ed the Missouri Pacific train at Sheldon and
held up the train men and passengers. They
robbed the baggage and express cars and Sc
cured quite q sum of money and valuables.
They made the messenger open thesafe, but
there was very little in it. They escaped
when the train reached Lamar.
FoRr ScorT, KAN,-Soon after the robbery
at Sheldon dispatch was received here stat
ing that it was believed that the robbers were
on their way here.
Policeman s. B. Lattera. colored man,
saw two men get off the train, which arrived
at 2 q. m. He called to the men to halt,
when one of them shot him dead.
The men then ran. A few minutes after
the shooting two men were seen to get into q
box car on the outgoing north bound train,
and Detectives Captain Chester and ]. p
Naples started on passenger train in pur-
suit. They overlook the men at Pleasanton,
twenty four miles north. One of the men,
who is believed to have been one of the train
robbers, was shot and killed and the other
man was badly wounded.

The Deadly Car Stove.

CHICAGO. January ga passenger train
on the Chicago d Rock Island, for Council
Bluffs, Ia, was ditched at point about four.
teen miles from the city by the spreading Of
the rails. The train consisted of engine,
baggage car, express car and six passenger
coaches.
The ground there is comparatively level
and the train was not running at full speed,
and the result was, therefore, less disastrous
than it might have been, though the train
was badly wrecked and number of passen-
gers badly hurt.
The train at once took fire from the stoves
and but for prompt work of the uninjured
several persons would have been burned to
death.
The list of injured are as follows:
George Patton, Butte, Montana, skull frac-
tured; will probably die.
Unknown woman en- route to Iowa City,
cut about face and head.
Mrs. Caroline Raumbead, Chicago, cut and
bruised about the head.
Unknown man cut, bruised and burned
about the body, probably fatally.

Can be Tried in Kansas.

TOPEKA, January 21.-Judge johnson has
decided that the McGrath children can sue in
this state for the loss of their father, Thomas
McGrath, who was killed in Missouri two
years ago while travelling with Fulford's and
Lytle's circus. The case came up in the
form of a demurrer on the grounds that the
Kansas courts could not enforce the Missouri
laws, but as all the parties interested live in
Shawnee county the judge concluded that
this court had jurisdiction and decided ac-
cordingly. The case comes up for trial on
the main issue later in the term. 1t is one in
which McGrath's three children, by their
next friend, their mother, sue for $1O,O 600
damages, alleging that the deceased came to
his death as the result of carelessness on the
part of Lyle.
