has animated all trades unions. 1t
has been the chief topic Of discussion In
all labor congresses. Yet we are told 10y
Mr.. Boies that the condition is other
wise that instead of the empioye getting
too small portion he has been getting
too large one. This statement has a
familiar sound. 1t was ma1e in Pennsyl-
yania four years ago, when Frick, the
manager Of the Homestead steel works,
said 20 his men: In view of the present
price of the products OF our mills YOU
are getting TOO large wages. You must
be content with less The world knows
what was the result. The argument OF
MIR. Boies is the one made by every EN-
pIoyer when he is resisting the demands
of labor. 1t is heard wherever the re-
presentatives Of trusts gather. 1t was
heard during the recent shlpbullders'
strike on the Clyde, happily settled by a
concession to the strikers. Nj these
employers, like MIR Boies, tell their en-
ployes that if they will accept y smaller
wage it will be possible to produce more
and to employ greater number Of men.

The Aberdeen News appeals to the
railroad company for better tram ser
vice from the west to Big Stone. With
the growing popularity OF the lake as Il
summer resort the matter OF travelling
facilities will become an important one.
The probabil. ties are that Though the
drying up of SO many Of the smaller
lakes IN the state, Big Stone lake will
receive a wonderful impetus as a place
Of resort, and to this the railroad COM
pany caa greatly add if a proper regard
for the convenience and comfort Of
travellers is shown. The News says:
I. Big Stone Lake is ever to receive
the patronage as summer resort to
which its beauties en'ltle it, the Chi,

OF granting better train service from

are abominable and as far as can he
learned no changes are contemplated.
Persons from this city who would like
TO spend day at the lake occasionally
are obliged to lose two nights sleep, one
going and the other coming back. since

vide reasonable facilities the railroad is
standing in its own light as we'll as de-
priying the public Of great dea of
pleasure. Probably the best paving
train that has left this station for 4 long
time was the dollar excursion to the
lake year ago this month, a fact which
proves the company could easily increase
the patronage from this city and all the
country west and south If it felt SO in

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION

Ennis, Tex, Sept. 23.-(Special.)-
This city was thrown into frenzy of
excitement at $50 o'clock this morning
by tremendous explosion which shook
the earth for hundreds of yards around
and broke windows in several instances
1t was the discharge of powerful eX-
plosve, believed to be dynamite, at the
oil mill.
The explosion occurred in the second
story of the building and the house and
machinery were torn and completely
wrecked. Pieces of timber We're thrown
400 feet. Foreman Vance was the only
person in the building at the time. He
was working on the oil presses
and on the ground floor and was thrown
against the hot machinery and considera-
bly, burned and bruised In his excite
ment he barely escaped with his life.
The wreckage Immediately took fire and
the floors and walls, being thoroughly
saturated with oil, the flames spread all
over the building at once The mill room
and storage room were totally consumed,
together with the machinery and large
store of cake, meal and hulls. besides
three cars of hulls standing on the Mid
land track. The loss is estimated at $780,
600: insured for $4,000.
The oil mill people say there were no
explosives kept in the mill and their
poinion is that dynamite was thrown in
through the window. A. Katz and C.
w. Cornelius, who were in Chicago at
the time of the Haymarket incident, say
that the report last night could be COM
pared with the report of the bombs there.

true, as stated in local paper, that Mr..
Hill said that he would rather see the

ocratic platform, and Mr.. Hill corrob-
GRATED the statement.
