NATURAL GAS EXPLOSION
Business Block Blown to Piece,
in Anderson, Ind.

Dollars Damage Done-A
Fire Follows.

Anderson, Ind. March 5.-The most
destructive natural gas explosion In tht
history of the Indiana gas belt occurred
here at 4 o'clock this morning. A $75,.
0G0 business block IN the court house
square was blown all over the central
part of the city. In the buildings were
the When clothing stores, Prather's
shoe store. Hadley drug store n a
large number of business offices and
halls on the upper floor. Fire followed
the explosion which was like an earth
quake, and the remains of the debris
began burning fiercely. The entire fire
department was called out n pre-
vented the fire from reaching the new
court house.
Attorney Ballard and County Com'
missioner Metcalf lived In rooms above
the When store, and it is feared they
have persisted.
The loss on the buildings and contents
Is total and will reach $400.0 00. The
fronts of all business houses in the
neighborhood of the explosion were de-
molished. paved streets ripped open and
telephone cables torn down.
The men thought to have been
burned in this mornings fire turned up
all right. A falling wall caught a fire.

SOUTH DAKOTA LEGISLATURE
Thursdax At Pierre.

Pierre, Feb. ga resolution was in
troduced In the senate for IN investiga-
ton OF the sworn charges OF C. j.. Lane,
Of Ohio, formerly of Redfleld, against
Judges Corson and Kellam, of the
South Dakota supreme court Lane de-
clares that he was deprived of his prop
erty through a decision based on mis-
representations and fraud and that
the judges were aware that 1t was so
based when made.
In the forenoon The senate defeated
the bill! preventing games. racing, etc,
on Memorial day, but in the afternoon
1t was reconsidered and passed. II
also passed bills to set aside 40, 900
acres of public land for the n%orthern'in-
sane asylum at Redtield and the same
amount for the Springfield normal
school.
The Kingsbury revenu bill received
Just the necessary twenty-five votes,
but as the amendment had o been
properly Incorporated the bill went
over.
Senate bill No. 300, by Wilson, Civ
ing the lessor of water for irrigation a
lien on Ian and crops watered was
passed. The senate also passed bill
No. 252, to appropriate money for 1u.ial
Of deceased soldiers and sailors; No.
336. authorizing the commissioner Of
school and public lands to appoint a
deputy, and No. 265, to amend laws re-

penses for selecting endowment lands.
In the house the bill reducing stem.
ographers fees from 10 to 8 cents per
folio was passed. also the bill reducing
county auditors salaries. The HI es-
tablishing schools for feeble minded
children at Miller and st. Lawrence was
killed, as was the bill establishing the
office of game warden.
The divorce bill is dead. According
to the notice given by Burke, the mo-
ton to reconsider the vote by which
the bill was lost was made. but this was
defeated by a vote of 80 to SO. This
probably kills the measure for the ses-
sion, though there is some talk of ef-
fecting a combination by which both
the woman suffrage bill and the divorce
bill will be taken from. the table and
passed. Such an act would not be in
accordance with precedent, but in the
opinion of constitutional LAWYERS would
be safe.

Are the best months in which to purify your
blood. During the long. cold winter, the blood
becomes thin and impure. the body becomes
weak and tired, the appetite may 10 lost. and
just now the system Graves the aid of u reliablel
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is peculiarly adapted to,
the needs Of the body during these months. III
thoroughly puri6es and ~vitalizes tho blood
creates n good appetite, cures biliousness and
headache, gives healthy action to tho kidneys|
and liver and imparts strength TO the whole
body.
Now is the time when you should give Hood'sl
Sarsaparilla a fair trial. That scrofulous taintl
which has been in your blood for years. mayl
be thoroughly expelled by giving Hoods Sarea-I
parilla a fair trial. 1t really is q wonderful
blood purifier, and building-up medicine.
Merit Wins, and the fact that Hoods Sarss-
parilia actually acco;nplishes what is claimed
for it, is what has made 1t the medicine first in
the confidence of our countryrnen, and given to,
Hoods Sarsaparilia q popularity and sale
greater than that of any other blood purifier.
