thought to have been badly hurt, but

The balloon ascension was made
about five o'clock. The aeronaut,
Prof. Keyes, made successful para

fireworks display from suspended bal

appointed.

The display of fireworks on the riv-
er front at night was fizzle, If such
an expression may re used. They were
very tame and EXPLANATIONS of disgust
were frequent from those who expect
ed to see something fine.
The band concerts throughout the
day were good feature. Bauer's band
from GAINESVILLE, Wiseman's band from
McConnelsville, the Cambridge and
Marietta bands were the musical or
ganizations, and all did good work.
The best of order prevailed during
the day, due principally to Marietta's S
splendid police system. There were
few drunks in sight, as they were
promptly taken in hand by the officers
and taken away from the crowd.

The explosion of gasoline at Park
ersburg, whereby half dozen persons
were killed at once and many more in
jured, is OF class with the terrible
explosion at Oil City eight years ago
this summer which resulted in the de-
struction OF a large portion of the bus
mess section of the town and the loss
of some so lives. Gasoline is light
vapor when released, and, instead oil
running away on the ground like wat
er, evaparotes rapidly upon its escape
from confinement. The air is at once
saturated with it. and the minute
fame comes in contact with the yapol
an explosion is certain to occur which
will reach over the entire territory that
has been covered by the vapor. The
atmosphere becomes by the evapora-
ton of escaping gasoline "a perfect ex-
nlosiye compound, and nothing is
safe that is within the infected circle.
At Oil City leaking tanks filled the air
with gasoline vapors, and flame from
fire ignited the atmospheric compound,
The air over a large portion OF the city
at once flashed into fame, the explos-
ion resulting in ruin and death, fol-
lowed by fire in the afflicted district.
In the early history of the oil indus
try an explosion similar to these oc-
CURED at Rouseville, whereby Henry
y. Rouse and Is others were killed. In
April, 1861, Rouse struck large gush-
er. Gas came with the oil. and in
about 20 minutes after the flow COM
menced an explosion occurred which
shook the hills. The gas in the satur-
ated oil and in the air, the same light
gas that is met with in gasoline, had
exploded, and the air was sea OF fire.
One poor fellow who was burned al
most to a crisp imagined he had arriv-
ed in perdition, and in his delirous
way attempted, in the brief moment
he lived to warn his friends against a
career that would bring them to his
doom. Escaping Sasoline is an dan
gerous as powder magazine, and
much more so than oil. The only
safety at Parkersburg was in getting
the cars away from the fire before they
allowed the gasoline to escape. Any
other course must mean suicide and

The committee in charge OF the
Fourth of July celebration and the
numerous committees acting under the
general one gave lots Of attention to
the task OF making the day success
ful one and complete patriotic dem
onstration; and in any feature where
the enthusiasm was shy 1t was due
more to the indifference of the towns
people than to any other cause.
The people should have flocked to
participate in the contest wherein Mr..
Race made his generous offer of two
first-class bicycles, but 1t seemed as
though everybody wanted to see and
not do. There should have been a
thousand wheels in line.
The Calithumptians, too. were
scarce. although generous prizes were
offered. This is an cld-fashioned feat
ure of the Fourth that should be per-
petuated
A wise way to treat the Fourth in
the future is to let is be an affair OF the
future, until the people grow anxious
for it. Let the next grand demonstra-
tion be two or three years off, and 1t
will be more heartily participated in.

RAPIDS ICE ON THE MOVE.
January Thaw Causes Disturbance In River
Open Below Keokuk.

The ice On the rapids moved Sun
day in consequence of the thaw. If
the weather holds as it has been two
or three days longer the entire forma-
ton of ice in the river may be expect
ed to slide out. 1t is not thick and it
has become very weak and frail. The
SHIFT of Sunday night ended with the
government bridge, but other move
ments are to be expected at any time.
Below Keokuk there is open river,
and the small packets down there are
getting ready to run again. They
think they can be sure of at least a
few trips. and it is said there is quite
an amount of freight awaiting their

ATHLETIC CLUB OUTING.
Members Spend a Day at Lake
Washington.

About twenty members of the
Athletic club enjoyed an outing at
Lake Washington Sunday. The
party went there Saturday night,
starting at about II O'Clock, so as to
take in the mornings fishing, which
was participated in by most of those
that attended and some nice strings of
fish were caught. The party pitched
their tent on Third point and during
the day base ball was played, foot
races were run, shooting, swimming,
singing, etc., were INDUCED in and
most enjoyable time was had. One of
the most entertaining features of the
outing was the music furnished by the
mandolin and guitar club, consisting
of Carl Heinze, mandolin; Chas.
Mayer, guitar; VIM. Flachsenhar,
flute; Frank Brett, banjo and w.
Fuller clarinet This was greatly enjoy
ed by all. The party reached home at
10 O'Clock, tired, but all willing to
repeat the outing in the near future.

WORKED ON SUNDAY.
Some Farmers Took Advantage
of the Goo Weather to Harvest.

A heavy shower came up Monday
morning, following the heat ofSunday,
and while it cooled the atmosphere
temporarily it delayed the work in the
harvest field.
A drive through the country Sun
day showed that good many fields of
wheat have been cut and almost all of
the uncut wheat is ready for the har-
vesters. If the weather had been fav-
orable this morning, cutting would
have been general.
Not few farmers were at work on
their grain Sunday, taking advant-
age of favorable day. During a
period of showers, farmers are to be
excused for pressing their harvest
work whenever opportunity offers.
even though it be on the Sabbath day.
The shower that fell Monday morning
was soaking one, but did not last
very long.
