Wrecked Near Pittsburg.

Pittsburg, Jan. 12.-The magazine of
the Pennsylvania Torpedo company,

miles from here, was blown up this
morning.
The explosion occurred about 10
o'clock and completely demolished the
building and tore a large hole in the
ground. The conclusion was felt sew
eral miles away and buildings in the
immediate vicinity were badly shat
tered.
At Shousetown the public school
building was partly demolished and
panic among the pupils ensued, but no
one was hurt. Economy, Coraopolis
and other towns say the shock broke

Two men and two women were killed

DIGNITY ITSELF
Gould Not Have Been More Cool Calm
and Collected Than Doster.

When the bailiff of the supreme
court raped for order this morning
and announced 1.-The honorable chief
justice and the associate justices of the
supreme court of the state of Kansas"
the members of the bar arose and Chief
Justice Frank Doster headed the process
sion of justices into the court room for
the first time. He was as pale, calm
and imperturbable as he usually is, but
not more So He bowed to the bar with
elaboration and took his seat. Then
after a minutes pause he said:
''Of course it is not to be expected
that in assuming these duties that
there shall be anything in the way of
an inaugural address. We have moth
ing to do with the administrative part
of the government and have no mes
sages to send, nor are we concerned
with the affairs of state so called
1t is perhaps fitting that when the
personnel of the court undergoes a
change we should greet each other in
our new relations. 1 greet you this
morning and send my greetings to the
absent members of the bar.
The rules of the court will not so
far as we know, be changed; and of
course the law is unchanged. We will
now procede with the ordinary business
of the court
Saying this he opened his docket and
began to call the cases set for today.
No cases of any great public interest
were ON the setting today.

TALKS TO THE POINT.
Judge Hazen's Remarks to His New
Jury Today.

When Judge Hazen called the jury in
the district court this morning he gave
them lecture on promptness and bro
therly love.
eff a jury gets started off right" said
he, there is usually very little difficult
ty during the term, but if it gets start
ed wrong there is no end of trouble.
You must remember that you are
simply called here to determine the
rights of men and in some cases the
liberty of the individual depends upon
termine the facts. The court will tell
you what is the law and it makes no
difference whether you think it is the
law or not, you should accept it as
given by the court, for he is the judge
of the law.
s'When you go into the jury box you
should go to work in a business way.
You should remember that there are
other men on the jury besides yourself
and you should counsel with them. 1t
is better to consider a thing calmly and
considerably than to go at it bolster
ously and defiantly, for the latter
course always makes trouble.
1.-The regular time for the court to
open is O'Clock, and when I say 8
O'Clock 1 mean o'clock by the court
house clock and not by your watches
You will be expected here promptly at
that time, though court may open at
$50 if it is considered necessary and
you viii be expected at the hour fixed
by the court. If you are tardy you
will lose your compensation for the day
and if the offense is repeated two or
three times you will lose your job

NOT BURTON.

The Republicans of the legislature
have an honor to confer, though an
empty one.
In their caucus nomination for Uni
ted States senator, it is gratifying to
note that only a few appear tofavor the
selection of J. r. Burton for this pre-
ferment. Mr. Burton was one of the
factors who lead to the recent defeat
of Republicans in the Kansas election
in November. He is Objectionable to
very many in the party. There is no
reason why the caucus should not name
any one of several who would be en-
tirely satisfactory to the Republicans
generally.

The United States, England, France

The United States, England, France
and Germany are very nearly on the
same economic level; that is to say,
in the development of their indus
tries and in their use Of machinery
and methods. The wage levels of
those countries, however, differing so
widely, make competition unequal
without protective tariffs. Of course,
this general difference in wage levels
does not represent the difference in
each industry, some industries having
more advantage in one country than
in another, and therefore, to thor
oughly protect the wage earners of
this country as against wage earners
engaged in the same Industries in
European countries on the same
economic level, different rates of
protective duties are necessary in
