EXPLOSION

Berlin, June pa terrible and fatal
accident occurred in Behring'S Iron works
at M%agdeburg, Saxony. The workmen
were engaged in making a heavy casting
and were pouring the moulten metal
into the mould. Without a moments
warning there occurred a terrific explos-
ion, the liquid iron flying in every di-
rection and covering the workmen. Six
men were killed outright, while seven
others were so terribly burned that their
recovery is despaired of. 1t is believed
that the sand in the mould was dampened
and that this caused the explosion.

RULES ARE ISSUED
u THE RAILWAY AND WARE.
HOUSE COMMISSION
gor the. Government of Countrv
Elevators in MinnesOta-The Rule.
Rnsed ON the Laws Passed by the
Last Legislature.

St. Paul, June 27.-The railroad and
warehouse commission, in compliance
with IN enactment of the last legislature.
has compiled the rules and regulations
for the government and control of public
country elevators of this state. These
rules will attract widespread attention
throughout the state, as probably no
measure ever enacted in this state elic-
tied more discussion than the one on
which these rules are based. All clc-
yators and warehouses on the right of
way of any railroad, at my station or
siding in this state, in which grain is
stored and handled, are designated by
law as public warehouses. 1t is unlawful
to receive, store, ship or handle grain in
such elevator or warehouse unless the
owner or owners thereof shall have pro-
cured a license therefor from the COM
mission, and a. true and correct account
of ali grain received must be kept. A
receipt must be issued for each separate
lot Of grain. Upon surrender of ware
house receipts of the same grade in not
less than car load lots, and upon payment
of all lawful charges which may have &C.
cruei thereon, said grain or grain of same
grade and net quantity is deliverable, in
not less than car load lots, except as
hereinafter provided, to said owner or
his order upon demand, either from the
elevator or warehouse where it was
originally received, or, if the owner so
decides, upon track at st. Paul, Minneap-
oils, St. Cloud or Duluth, subject to CT
fetal inspection and weight. If the own
er den ends his grain from the elevator
or warehouse where it was originally re-
ceived for the purpose of consignment to
himself, or any other person, ne shall
be- entitled to receive it in such lots or
quantities as he may desire, and to
which he may be entitled, and the deliv-
cry of such grain so had and. accepted
shall be held to be a final and legal de-
livery.
The warehouseman will be held re-
sponsihle to the owner for net amount Of
grain called for by said receipts. Pro
vid.d, however, that when it appears
that thtre has been a shrinkage in transit
in any given car load, the actual amount
thereof may be allowed to such Ware
horseman, but in no case to exceed sixty
po:.nds to the car load.
TIE. charge for receiving grain, insur-
ing, hpndling and storing the same fifteen
days and delivering shall be 2 1-2 cents
per bushel. If delivered in car load
quantities within ten days with immedi-
ate shipping orders, 2 cents per bush"l.
Storage charges after the first fifteen
days, IL cent per bushel for each fifteen
days or part thereof, but shall not eN-
coed 5 cents per bushel for six months.
Provisions are made for arbitrating
differences. Complaints of fraud or op-
preston will be investigated by the com-
mission upon written complaint. Reports
must be made Oh or before Sept. 1 of
each year. Penalties are prescribed for
any persons, firms or corporations enter
ing into a combination for pooling the
earnings or dividing the business of ele.
v0tors.

ON suspicion of having facilitated the
circulation of anarchist literature, and
several commissioned officers have been
reduced in rank to punish them for negli-
gence.

THREE MILLION BACHELORS.
That's What the Census Shows an,
It's Time Some Repented

That's What the Census Shows and
It's Time Some Repented
According to the last census reports
there are over 100000 bachelors In
the United States, by which is meant
there are 100000 men over thirty
years old who have never been mar
lied.
This fact, Vt course, furnishes a very
handy text for all sorts Of comment
and suggestion. Now and then the
scheme is advocated of making neglect
of matrimony q statutory ofense,
either by way Of tax discrimination
in favor Of married parties or other
wise.
In earlier times marriage was COM
pulsory. The great world-conquerors
wanted material for their armies, and
80 heavy penalties were laid on q
neglect to marry.
One interesting question which the
census figures do not answer is this:
How many of these 100000 bach
elors are single from choice rather
than necessity"
The factors affecting the ability to
support a wife have been very much
changed under the newer industrial
and commercial condition. So great
has become the competition for places
among the higher .pursuits, and SC
largely have women. come to fill posi-
tons once exclusively occupied by men
that the bureaus of industrial stats
tics show a larger and larger percent
age of men in these pursuits whose
incomes, from their point Of view, will
not permit them to marry.
1t is easy to scold the young men IN
this matter-Quite as easy to find fault
with the young women who are look.
ing out for husbands with plenty Of
ready money. But there is nothing
in the published census figures regard
ing the average earnings Of certain
classes Of workers which at all war
rants the conclusion that the majority
ofssxshese. 3,OOO,O 600 unmarried men re
