Oleomargarine for veterans.

There is considerable stir among
the old soldiers and their friends over
the fact that contract has been
awarded to Chicago house to furnish
1900 pounds of oleomargarlne at 7
cents a pound for use at the soldiers
home In Dayton, 0.
The Ohio members of Congress are
also indignant over the discovery that
the veterans are being treated in this
manner in THEN declining years. The
farmers of Ohio also come in and add
to the grievance because they are be-
ing robbed of the sale of dairy pro-
ducts by the purchase of western fats.
The men who fought on the field OF
battle are entitled to better treatment
than this, They deserve as good but
ter as the market affords, and they
ought to have it.

The plague in Bombay has set it.
self to work to kill those whom the
famine spares, even as the cholera
assalled interior Russia on the track
Of the famine few years ago. But
the Black Plague is worse enemy to
mankind than the cholera, and al
ready the Italian government has
called for an international conference
at Rome to take steps to prevent the
disease from entering Europe This
plague is the most fatal of known
epidemics, and there is less scientific
knowledge of it than of any other
great epidemic disease. The reports
from Bombay indicate the number oil
deaths bears to the number Of cases
the ratio Of 25 to SO. Over one half
of the population of the city (Which
was S2l, ,754 in lS9l) are said to have
fled for safety, and there is the the
greatest difficulty in getting the dead
bodies burned. DR.. Hankin, a fa-
nous bacteriologlst, is investigating
the causes and effects of the disease
in Bombay. The most prevalent
cause is uncleanliness, and the most
frequent cause of the spread of the
disease is vermin.

THAwED OUT DYNAMITE
1t is supposed that in "thawing
out" the stuff they allowed it to be-
come oyerheated or let quantity to
drop on the floor, and it was all over
in the twinzling of an eye.
There was between 500 and 1000
quarts of the stuff in the magazine at
the time. x
The explosion tore a hole in the
ground about so feet in diameter
and Is to 20 feet deep, conical-
shaped. The actual loss to the com
pany will not exceed $1,000, proba-
bly, not more than $500.
Beside blowing Morrison and Den
nison to atoms the explosion injured
many persons very severely. Among
the worst cases being Donald Kidd,
boy about 10 years of age, who was
severely cut about the head, and
Willie Chcisty, child 8 years OF
age, also TERRIBLY cut and bruised.
Hannah Suverison, and aged lady,
was blown across the room and re-
ceived number of ugly gashes ON
the head and face.
G. A. Henning was within 200
of the magazine when the explosion
occurred. He was knocked down and
received number of cuts from the
flying debris, but outside of a bad
nervous attack he is all right again.
Two other men were standing about
600 feet from the magazine when it
let go and they we're knocked to the
ground but escaped without injury.
The damage done to property in
the vicinity of Cygnet and and with
in a radious of a mile of the explo-
sion, is estimated at SIS, 600 or Sc, 600.
The explosion caused considerable
excitement for long time, and the
yawning pit left TO tell the tale of the
deadly work, was viewed by hun
dreds of people before dark.

cried loud for "reform," in nearly

CYaNET, o., Jan. 27th.--This viii
lage received q genuine shaking up
yesterday afternoon, which caused
many people to believe that the jpdg-
ment day was at hand. The cause OF
the trouble was the explosion of a
large quantity of nitro glycerine con-
tanned in the magazine of the Ohio
and Indiana Torpedo company, loca-
ted about three, quarters of mile
from the center of the town.
William Morrison, of Toledo, and
Frank Dennison, of Rising Sun, were
at work in the magazine when the
explosion occurred, and all that has
been found of them so far Is piece of
skull about three-quarters of an inch
square, together with some pieces of
clothing and few scraps of mutila,
ted paper.
The explosion occurred about $50
p. m., and was so severe that it shook
every house in the village SO violent
ly that the occupants thought that
they were being tumbled down upon
them. AS a result of the explosion
there is hardly a window glass in the
village or within radius of mile of
the magazine that was not smashed
to pieces. Many persons on the
streets and in their houses, were
knocked down from the force of the
shock, and the number Of cut heads,
bruises and other injuriers to persons
will probably never be made known.
NO CAUSE KNOWN.
How the explosion occurred or
what caused it will never be revealed,
as the only parties who knew any.
thing about 1t are scattered in atoms
over the surrounding fields and tree
tops.
1t is generally believed, howev-.
er. that the men were engaged at the
time, in the hazardous task of s'thaw.
ing out"the deadly explosive, The cold
weather of the past two days had
solidifed the "stuff" and in order to
use it in shooting wells it had to be
"thawed OUT" as oil men term it.
This morning Morrison remarked
to party before he left for the
magazine that he had a job on his
hands that he was not stuck on very
hard and that was shaving out"
several hundred quarts of nitro glyc-
crime. This indicates the nature Of
work the men were engaged at when
the whole magazine let so,
The shaving out process is con-
sidered go dangerous that none
but the most careful, reliable and
trustworthy men are permitted to
engage in the work.
William Morrison, or @Billy,' as
the boys called him. was about 40
years oil age, and was considered one
of the best and most careful men in
the business, having handled nitro
glycerine for the past ten years, with
outthe slightest accident. He claim
cd Toledo as his home, but spent
nearly all his time in the oil field.
He was ! single man.

And Yet Wonder Why They
GrOwl.

The GAINESVILLE Signal says farmer
gave an illustration some time ago of
the many discouragoments which have
beset men of his calling in the last
FIVE years. He said: IL devoted a
ten acre lot last summer to the grow
ing of oats. ] kept strict account
of the cost of all the fertilizer that
went into this experiment, what the
cost of labor amounted to necessary
to prepare the soil for the crop, not
including, however, the value of my
own service put into the enterprise.
At the end of the season harvested
the crop, received only fifteen cents a
bushel for the oats, and found l was
Just $40 short of what the oats cost
me-" And yet people wonder why the
farmers growl at the situation.

Gov. JOHN ALrGELD's address up
on Andrew Jackson: "Why do we
celebrate the birth of Andrew Jack
son? 1t is because he stood erect in
the sight Of omnlpotence and all the
children of man and defed the forces
of plutocracy. 1t is because he stood
for the great toiling masses of hu-
manity, because he stopped for those
doctrines that are vital to free gov
ernment.
"What is the situation now? JET
ferson declared that the prerogative
of issuing money or bills which
should circulate as money belonged
to the government alone, and that
banks of issue were destructive of
the liberties of the people. Yet the
present administration has trampled
that principle into the mud and OPEN
ly advocated that the government
should surrender its prerogative of
issuing bills that shall circulate as
money to the corporations.
jackson found the money chang
ers in the temple, drove them out
and declared: "By the eternal, the
people shall rule this land, and not
the money power" The present fed
eral administration has made q COM
plete surrender to the money power.
Every principle vital to free govern
ment advocated by Jefferson has been
scented by this administration, and
every declaration in favor of the gov
ernment by the people made by Jack
son has been waved aside with a sneer
by the present administration. Yet,
notwithstanding these facts, there will
gather to-day at various places IN this
country gentlemen who uphold and
applaud the present administration
for the course it has taken in insult
ing the memory Of Jefferson and spit
ting upon the good name Of jackson,
who yet insist upon calling them
selves Democrats.

tain great principles The boast of

pots will be heightened, but II we
stand by our colors then success is in
