SIX PERSONS ARE KILLED.
Terrible Explosion of Nitrogiycerin
at Cygnet, Ohio.

A terrible explosion of nitroglycerin oc-
CURED at Cygnet, Ohio, which resulted
in the death of ut least six persons. The
explosion occurred at Grant well, located
at the rear OF the National Supply Com
pany's Office building, in the village limits.
This well had just been shot by Samuel
Barber, the shooter for the Ohio and In
diana Torpedo Company. The well was
gasser, and when the 12O quarts of
glycerin let down into the well exploded
the gas ignited, and with n terrific roar
the flames shot high above the derrick.
AS soon as the drillers saw the flames
several climbed into the derrick 70 cut
off the gas, but they had hardly gotten
there when there was terrific explosion
The burning gas had started the remain
ing glycerin in the empty cans standing
in n wagon near the derrick. In another
wagon near by were some cans containing
another 120 quarts Of the stuff. AMI this
was started by the force Of the first explo-
sion. The second was blended with the
first in mighty roar and the town and
surrounding country for many miles trem-
bled from the shock. Eight buildings are
n total wreck and many others damaged.
The town has population of about 100.
Many bystandcrs were wounded.

Federal Authorities Act.
The general Government will render all
assistance in its power to check the spread
of yellow fever. This will be done mainly
through the agency of the Marine Hos
pital Service. DIR. Walter Wyman, the
head Of the bureau, has returned to wash
ington and assumed active charge in di-
recting the work in assisting the State
officials of Mississippi in their efforts to
confine the disease to the locality where
IL appears to have started. DR.. Wyman
says that as yet he has no opinion TO ex-
press whether the disease is really yellow
fever, although he admits it looks very
suspicious. The precautionary measures
he has taken are based entirely on the
declaration of the State Board of Health
of Louisiana in the Gelpi case, which
was that the disease from which the per-
son had died was yellow fever. Dr. Wy
man says the situation at Ocean Springs
Is entirely in the hands of the State Board
of Health, while the Marine Hospital Bu-
reau is doing everything possible to assist.
DR.. Wyman has wired the physician in
charge at Ocean Springs n copy Of the
treasury regulations relating to the pre-
vention of the spread of epidemic diseases
from one State to another. These regula-
tions prescribe the manner Of surveil-
lance TO be established over railroad trains
coming from the infected district and give
rules for the isolation of infected passen-
gers and the disinfection of their baggage.
The Marine Hospital Service has ample
camp material on hand. The splendid out
fit which has been at Gainesville, Ca,
has been sent to the vicinity of Ocean
Springs, and il camp of detention is
found necessary the outfit will be used as
occasion may require. The bureau also
keeps portable apparatus at Savannah,
Ga, intended for use in epidemics. 1t
consists of machines for disinfecting and
fumigating purposes. They have also
been sent to the vicinity of Ocean Springs.

lence May Spread.
Peril In the P1arue.


The breaking out Of yellow fever at
Ocean Springs, Miss, New Orleans and
other places has caused very widespread
alarm in the South. Practically every
city and town in Alabama has estab-
lished the most rigid quarantine against
Ocean Springs, New Orleans and other
places a shotgun quarantine is the order
Of the day.
This is virtually true of Mobile, where
the officials publicly proclaimed that the
regulations would be enforced at the point
of guns. Trains from the South and
Southwest on all railroads passing
through any part of the State are boarded
by determined officers heavily armed, and
no one from anywhere near the infected
districts is permitted to leave the cars.
At number of small towns guards line
the depot platforms as well as the trains.
Many Alabamians summering at Gulf
coast resorts are shut out entirely from
Ae rest Of the world, as trains between
Mobile and New Orleans now run past all
Stations without stopping. 1t is feared
tlat the dolay of the health authorities in
pr>claiming the disease yellow fever will
result diSastrously, and it would he no
surprise should it break out at various

For three weeks past people from all
over this and neighboring States have
been leaving Ocean Springs in fright be-

thus got away before the yellow fever

Produce an Enormous Yield.
The wheat States are those of the
Northwest, and first among them, in an
ordinary year, with an average product
of GJ,000,000 bushels, is Minnesota Then
comes North Dakota, adjacent, with an
average product of 60,000,000, and South
Dakota with 30,000,000. The average of
Kansas is about 25,000.000, and of Ne
braska, 1G,000,000. These are the group
Of wheat States, but they are not the
only ones, California producing in ordi-
nary years wheat to the amount of 40,-
100000 bushels, and Ohio having an av-
erage crop of 35,000,000. Wisconsin,
which adjoins Minnesota, produces, rela-
lively, very little wheat, but Michigan
has, when the farming conditions are
good, large yield. Oregon has been in
creasing its wheat average considerably.
Among the wheat States of the East
Pennsylvania stands first, with an aver
age crop of 20,000,000 bushels, Maryland
following with 100000, and New York
with 100000. There is comparatively
little wheat raised In New England, and
scarcely any in the Gulf States. Missouri
is large wheat-growing State, exceeding
either Indiana or Illinois, but Arkansas,
south of it, yields very little wheat.-Ex-
change.

state Department..
w. p. Atwell, commercial agent of the
United States Robaix, France, sends
to the State Department q report on the
short wheat crop in France. He says the
crop in France and in fact in all Europe
has fallen much below the average, and
that it Is estimated that the United States
and Canada will be called upon to export
from 20,000,000 to 130,000,000 bushels
more than they exported to Europe last
year. France will require about G0,000,-
600 bushels to meet the deficiency in that
country.
Consul Heenan at Odessa has made an
extensive report to the State Department
concerning the failure Of the crops in Rus
sia. In many districts ii has been the
wettest season ever known, and grain has
been destroyed by both rain and hail.
Much of the grair. was not worth the ex-
pense of binding. The wheat received at
Odessa is of very inferior quality. The
report predicts that little wheat will be
exported from Russia during the season
OF 1918, as there is little available for
that purpose, the old stocks being prac-
tically exhausted and the new crop little
more ercc sufiicient for the, home ~
