In eighth grade all impromptu pro.
gramme was given Friday afternoon.
All hour was very profitably spent in
studying the life of Washington and in
relating incidents aud anecdotes that
brought out the traits of his character.
The pupils of Miss Crawford's room
observed Washington's birthday on last
Friday afternoon with appropriate OK
e~rcises. The room was very prettily
decorated with flags and bunting. The
children each carried a small flag
which they waved enthusiastically dur
ing the singing of the songs about the
red, white and blue. II is thought in
such exercises as these that the children
learn their first lessons in patriotism.
About thirty visitors were present.
The Misses Hayden and Gordon as
sembled their pupils together for the
W~ashingtop's birthday exercises. A
special programme had been prepared
by pupils Of both grades, consisting of
biographical sketches Of the great men
whose birthdays come this month and
recitations from the authors Long.
fellow, Lowell and Dickens. Both
rooms were decorated in the red, white
and blue and appropriate pictures.

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.


Louisville, KY, June by a vote
of 1Ol to 6S the Sons of Confederate
Veterans yesterday refused to lay on
the table a motion offered by W. II.
McLaws, division commander of Geor-
ga, that only the confederate flag he
carried in the Sons of Veterans divi-
sion of the confederate reunion pa
rade to-day All the speakers said
no veterans son was to-day disloyal
to the United States flag, but they re-
garded the confederate flag as the
emblem of their organization and
thought it should lead their parade
for that reason. As the discussion
had prolonged considerably the ses-
sion of the convention, adjournment
was taken after the tabling of the
McLaws motion until to-day, when
the question is expected to come up
for final action.
The report of the historical COM
mittee dealt with the efforts made
by the Sons of Veterans to have his
tories of the United States which they
consider just to the south taught in
all the southern schools, The report
said the committee had received many
letters from the north commencing
its course, for it wanted school his
tories to he as fair to the north as to
the SOUTH
The report of the relief committee
renewed former recommendation for
care of INDECENT confederate veterans
and the securing of state pensions.

Several Lives Lost in Shooting a
Well in Ohio.
DYNAMITE EXPLOSION IN WISCONSIN.
six Persons Killed In the Home of William
BrOehm at Forest Junction-No One
Left to Tell How the Acct
dent Occurred.

Marietta, o., June lat Whipple,
Just east of this city, last night, in
81 ooting well on the Kelly farm,
there was a premature explosion of
10 quarts of glycerine. The killed are:
William M. Watson, H. L. Zelton,
Frank Speers and Thomas Daniels.
The fatally wounded are: James P.
Speers, Herman Speers, Dawson Stall
lar and William Carpenter. The Sc
riously injured John Stallar, Wal
ter Daniels and Henry Stallar. The
first report gave list of six killed,
lat only four were killed outright
aud four Others are dying, while
three others are crippled for life.
Everybody on the ground was either
killed or injured. The explosion oc-
cured at five o'clock yesterday even
my, just before the men were get
ting ready to close up for the day.
The drilling had been completed,
ready for the final shooting. The
we'll was being shot by the Humes
Torpedo company, which had low
cred so quarts of nitro-glycerine in.
to the drilling. When the "go-devil'
was sent down and it did not go off
as expected, then what is known as
Jack squib," composed of heavy
iron and dynamite with a protected
lnse, was dropped into the well. It
was expected that when they came to-
gether there would be the usual blast
that would shoot the well, but i,
seems the lack squib' exploded first
and then the crowd rushed to see
the shooting of the gusher and when
they arrived at the derrick the first
charge that was put down went off
with terrific force, wrecking every
thing and blowing the men in every
direction. The remains of two of
those who were killed instantly had
TO be picked up in pieces. All the
victims are residents of this county,
well-to-do and prominent citizens.
Dynamite Explosion In Wisconsin.
Brillion, Wis, June six persons
were killed by an explosion of dyna-
mite in the home of William Broehm
at Forest Junction, about eight
miles from Brillion, at an early hour
yesterday. The dead are: William
Broehm, Mrs. William Broehm, three
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Broehm,
ages ranging from two to seven years,
and II. Stevens, brother of Mrs.
l'roehm. The cause of the explosion
is not known. The suppositon is
that about ~ pounds of the deadly
explosive was too near the stove and
became overheated and exploded. No
one was left to tell how the accident
occurred as every occupant of the
house was killed. The explosion oc-
Cured at the back part of the house,
where the family was supposedly
eating breakfast. This part of the
dwelling was scattered all over the
ground for many yards distant and
the main part of the house was badly
wrecked. So great was the force of
explosion that parts of bannister
was blown through three walls. The
remains Of the unfortunate victims
were literally blown to pieces and
beyond all resemblance of recogni-
ton. Boehm was well driller and
well-to-do.
