Boston, April ia million dollar fire,
prefaced by explosion that shook the
whole city, occurred in Charlestown at
half past o'clock Sunday morning. 1t
was the most spectacular and terrific con-
aagration of the year. A huge grain ele-
vator at the Hoosac Tunnel depot at
Water street was completely destroyed,
together with 100000 bushels of grain
awaiting shipment to Europe.
It was mostly owned by Joseph Letter,
the Chicago grain king.
One of the watchmen in the building,
Thomas Carroll, is missing.
1t is supposed that either dust or hot
air caused the explosion, which was fol-
lowed by a fiery volcano of flame.

A POLICEMAN RESIGNS.
He is Good Paper Hanger and Does
Not Need the Job

When c. Carlson was appointed as
patrolman on the city police force, it
was on the urgent recommendation of
the Swedish Independent club. He was
to be their representative. At the last
meeting of the police board they re-
duced Carlson and jacob from the po-
sitiOn of patrolman to that Of special.
1t was really a technical move in order
to facilitate the drawing of the pay
checks. But Carlson felt the reduction
as a slight on his record and he has de-
cided to resign. He said concerning it:
Il don't know just what the Independ-
ent club will do. I won't keep the job.
I am a paper hanger. They certainly
had it in for me. They gave as a rea-
son that the checks could be paid better
with ours being for special duty. Why
didn't they do that a long time ago
when the first checks were refused? I
don't intend to stand it. But what will
be done don't know just now"
Chief Steele said: ''They are all
right. We give them work right along,
but the only thing is they have to be
sworn in every ten days. 1t was a re-
duction of the regular force and an adj
dition to the special force. Carlson
doesn't need the job anyway. He is a
good paper hanger

SEES SECRETARY ROOSEVELT.
Commander Brownson Tells of His
Trip to Europe in Search of Ships.


Trip to Europe in Search of Ships.
Washington, April 1s.-Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt was at the navy de-
partment for some time Sunday morn
ing transacting matters requiring his
attention. He had a visit from Com
mander Willard H. Brownson, who had
just returned to the United States from
his visit abroad where he was sent to
for the use of the United States navy.
The commander is looking well
bronzed and says he had an enjoyable
trip, having spent practically all his
time in Italy, France and England. He
made number of recommendation
and reports to Secretary Long during
his inspection abroad and will submit
the final one to the secretary today. He
asked to be excused from discussing the
results of his trip pending his report to
the secretary. Commander BrownSon
feeling which the European nations
have for this country in it's issue with
Spain. Concerning the EngliShmen he
remarks that their sympathy is for US
and they are with US to man. A
great many Frenchmen side with Spain
although the commander said his OBJ
servations regarding them were based
on reports only. Italy being one of the
Latin countries, there is an element
which sympathizes with Spain, all
though many of the commercial classes
realizing that much of the trade of the
peninsula is with the United States
look upon our contention with favor.
Commander Brownson says that ow-
ing to the uncertain state of affairs in
Europe growing out of the eastern
question in which most of the great ma
tions are interested very few really sat-
isfactory. warships are to be found on
the market. While in six months from
now when possibly no one will want to
purchase any, no doubt some will be
available. Unfinished ships and those
of inferior quality were to be obtained
If desired, but the government pre-
ferred not to purchase vessels of that
kind.
The commander leaves the city today
for New York where he is to assume
command of the Yankee to which he
has been assigned.

LONG ELECTRIC LINE.
Directors of the Michigan, Indiana and
st. Louis Company Decide to Build
the Line at Once.

Chicago, April 18.-At a recent meet
ing of the directors of the Michigan, In
diana and St. Louis Electric Railway
company it was decided to proceed with
the building of the road at once. The
enterprise will be financed by an east
ern syndicate, but several Chicago men
office will be located at SO Dearborn
street.
John Moffett, attorney for the COM
pany, said the work of building would
begin next week at Monticello, Ind,
and proceed both ways from that town,
connecting the towns of Rochester, Pu-
laski, Headley, Buffalo, Norway, Mon
ticello, Chalmers, BrookstOn, Fowler
and Huntington, in Indiana. The road
will be eighty miles long and may be
extended later.
The road will be equipped with both
passenger and freight cars. with pow
erful electric motors. 1t is proposed
to do a general passenger and freight
business, including the handling of live
stock.

TO ENTER THE ARMY.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
Wants to Do Active Service.

Washington Apr. 1s.-Theodcre Roose-
welt will probably resign his office as
assistant secretary of the navy in case
of hostilities with Spain to accept
commission for active service in the
army.
Nothing definite has yet been decided
upon as to what assignment he will &C
cept, but it is believed that he would
prefer to serve with the New York
state troops.
From the beginning of the present
difficulties with Spain Mr.. Roosevelt
has been prominent among those who
believe that war in the only solution of
the problem and since the disaster to
the Maine his advice to the president
and the members of the cabinet has
uniformly been firm action against the
Spaniards with the full power of the
army and navy. He has never doubted
that the Spaniards were responsible for
the wreck of the Maine and believes
that act fully justifies am immediate
declaration of war.

AN OFFER TO MADDEN.
By Fl. s. Martin of Marion, Who
Wants to Run for Congress.

ny IL .. Mart1n OF Marion, Who
Wants to Run for Congress.
H. S. Martin of Marion who wants to
be a candidate for congress in the
Fourth district on the fusion ticket, al
though he is a Democrat, in response to
a suggestion from several of his friends
has offered John Madden of Emporia
the support of the Democrats for gov
ernor in two years, provided Madden
will withdraw from the congressional
race.
Mr.. Madden declines the proposition,
thinking that he will be the fusion
nominee himself. He is evidently of the
opinion that birds in the bush are diff
cult to capture and prefers to take the
one in hand.
The general opinion among the entire
state house contingent is that a Demo-
crat ought to have the Fourth district
nomination, as no PopuliSJ at present
holds it, and there is very slightly veil
ed resentment that Madden should put
the Populists in the light of wanting to
hog everything.

BEHIND LOCOMOTIVES.
Two Bicycle Riders Will Race for a
Mile

New York, April 1S-Two more men of
miie-a-minute fame will shortly meet in
match according to their modern IDEAS
of speed-making, each to follow loco
motive and car for the mile.
These riders are Charles NJ. Murphy of
Brooklyn and z. E. Anderson of Rood
house, and the only hitch which may
come up to keep them from meeting after
two years of working on the p2-t of each
to get together will be the inability of
the Long Island railroad to provide the
place where big crowds may be properly
cared for and the transportation facilities
to get the people there. 1t is proposed to
hold the contest somewhere on Long ISL
and, where two tracks run parallel for
distance of d mile and half or two miles,
where the stretches are reasonably level
and where the people may find vantage
ground from which they can plainly see
two men risk life and limb for fortunes
favors. Arrangements are completed for
the ride itself and the location is all that
keeps back the final announcement.
The board track for each rider will be
only as wide as the rails will allow. Each
engine will be followed by a car, provid-
ed for the officials, the press and a few
invited people of prominence. On the back
of each car a board wind shield will be
provided and upon each side black line
will be drawn, upon which the rider will
glue his eyes with terrible intensity for
one minute, at least. On the board will
be a second black line, along which he

A TRAVELLING MAN
Gives Some Valuable Hints Regard
ing the Care of Health While
Travelling.

Mr.. r. w. Wincherdon, a commercial
traveller from Birmingham, whose bust
ness keeps him almost entirely on the
road, relates in the Sunday News the
dangers to health resulting from con-
slant change of residence and the way
he overcame the usual injurious eff
fects
He says: One thing people travelling
cannot very well avoid is the constant
change in water and food; the stomach
never has an opportunity to become ac-
cuEtomed to anything, and in a few
years or much sooner the average trav-
cling man becomes q hopeless dyspep-
tic.
For several years I suffered more or
less from indigestion, sour Stomachs,
headaches, distaste for food, often no
appetite, gas on the stomach and the
usual unpleasant effects of imperfect
digestion.
favortte remedy for different troubles,
and tried all of them with Indifferent
results. Finally on the train between
Pittsburg and Philadelphia one day,
overheard a conversation between two
ladies, one of whom had suffered Sc
verely from indigestion and stated she
had been completely cured by a remedy
which she called Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets; remem beTed the conversation
because it directly interested me; and
at the next town 1 inquired at the first
drug store and bought a package for so
cents, and from that day to this 1
have never been without them. They
are pleasant tasting tablets, not a Sc
cret patent medicine, but composed of
vegetable essences, pure pepsin, fruit
salts and Golden Seal; being in a tablet
form they never lose their good quail
ties like a liquid medicine would, but
are always fresh and ready for use.
I carry a box in my pocket continual
~, and whenever I see any symptoms
of indigestion I take one, also one after
each meal, and for a year and a half
have not lost a day by reason of poor
health and can eat anything and relish
what / eat; my digestion is absolutely
perfect as far as can Judge from my
feelings, and although there may be
other stomach medicines just as good
as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, do not
know what they are. Certainly for peo-
pie who travel they are far ahead of
any liquid medicine, as they are con-
venient, they can be carried in the pock-
ct and used whenever needed.
I believe they are sold by all drug
eists at so cents, and believe anyone
who will try them will agree with me,
that for indigestion and stomach trou-

PRESIDENTS QUIET SUNDAY.
In the Afternoon He Took Long
Drive in the Country.

Washington, April 1s.-For the first
time in several weeks the president was
able to devote Sunday almost entirely
to his family and to resume his church
going, which had been interrupted by
the important Sunday conference with
the members of the cabinet. In COM
pany with Mrs. Mckinley and some
friends he this afternoon went for a
long drive thoroughly enjoying the
country scenery which because of the
advanced springlike weather has begun
to put on it's summer dress.
