A GAS EXPLOSION
Seriously Injuries Opal Maybee, OF
This City, mt NobIesville.

A gas explosion at the Hawkins House
at Nobesville yesterday morning resulted
in Miss Opal Maybee. of Indianapolis. who
has been visiting in that city since Christ
mas. being seriously and probably fatally
burned.
Miss Maybee lighted a small scrap of pa
per in the hall and went into closet, In
tending to light the Jet, which is usually
left burning night and day. Some time
during the night the gas pressure had in
creased and the jet was blown out, allow
ing the gas to escape. AS there is no ven
tilation in the room, it was filled with gas,
and just as soon as Miss Maybee opened
the door and stepped on the inside the
explosion occurred. Her clothing caught
fire and her hair was ablaze, but she re-
tanned her presence of mind and ran into
the hall screaming for help. Her brother,
Will Maybee, was the first to reach her
and soon extinguished the flames by wrap
ping a heavy comfort around her body.
The young woman was horribly burned
about the waist, head and arms. The in
juries on her body are considered the most
serious, but DR.. Pettijohn. who rendered
medical assistance does not think they are
likely to prove fatal. Miss Maybee is
fourteen years of age.

MRS. SEWALL HONORED.
President Appoints Her = Delegate
to Paris Exposition Congresses.

Mrs. May Wright Sewal has been ap-
pointed by the President as delegate to
the congresses Of the Paris exposition.
She is one of the two American women to
be so honered, the other woman delegate
being Mrs. Rebecca Lowe, of Atlanta, Ga.
Although the fact of her appointment has
not been made public, she received her
credentials on Christmas Gay.
The appointment Of Mrs. Sewall as a dei-
egate to the Paris congresses was urged
strongly by the National Council of Wom-
en-, and is made expressly in recognition
Of the work that organization has carried

proposed for the place by the executive
committee Of the council at its meeting
in Omaha in 1899, and further official action
to that end was taken at the last trien-
NAL meeting of the council in Washington
last February.
Mrs. Sewall is in Chicago where she ex-
poets to remain until Monday, and while
there is the guest of Mrs. s. Z. Gross
The main work that called her there is the
final revision Of the triennial report of the
National Council of Women, covering the
work of the organization during the period
of her presidency. She took with her the
proof sheets of the report, and in connec-
ton with the other members of special
committee, Mrs. Hannah Bailey, of Port
land, Me-, and Mrs. Hannah Solomon, Of
Chicago, she will put them in shape for
the press.
When questioned at Chicago about her
plans for work at the exposition she
said: at shall leave for Paris in June. and
shall participate in the work Of the Edu-
cation Congress, the Literary Congress
and the Organization Congress. Afterward
1 may go to ST. Petersburg, to which city

He Had Been DisconsOlate Since the
Death of His Wife, Six Years Ago

BIG CIGAR FACTORIES
Will Not he Absorbed by American
Tobacco Company.

Louis Deschler, of this city, announced,
yesterday, that he had received word that
the deal by which the American Tobacco
Company was to absorb nearly all the
large cigar factories of the East, in order
to control the cigar trade, had fallen
through. The reason for the failure of the
scheme he said, was that the tobacco
trust had been unable to purchase the fac
tory of Herbs. Wertheim & Schiller, of
New York. which is said to be the largest
single factory in the country. The inability
to acquire this plant made it undesirable
to secure any of the smaller ones, and the
entire plan was abandoned. Mr.. Deschler
is the Indiana distributor for the Herbs,
Wertheim & Schiller goods and the firm
advised him of the negotiations. Mr..
Deschler says he knows the figures that
were offered by the trust and the price de-
manded by the firm, but refused to name
them. He said the plan of the trust was
to buy the several firms outright and not
TO let any new interests in the trust.

QUESTION OF INITIALS.
Their Appearance in an Affidavit
Made 1t Defective.

May Hollingsworth, a young woman ar
rested on charge of immortality, has
been filed in the Criminal Court The case
came up on appeal form one of the lower
courts. The young woman was arrested
on affidavit sworn out by William H.
Critchlow. In signing the affidavit Critch-
low used the initials ''W. H." and when
the case went to trial 1t was contended
that the initials ''W. H." did not constitute
a name, and the affidavit was defective on
this account. The court permitted the at
torneys to change the affidavit and substi-
tute William H." for ''W. H." and the
case proceeded 1t is now claimed that the
affidavit was not sworn to after it had
been changed, and the conviction of the
Hollingsworth woman was, therefore,
illegal.

THE DAIRY STABLE.
To Keep 1t Clean and Free from Bad
doors Should BE the Propri-
etor's First Duty.

Keeping the cow stable clean and
sweet is one of the necessary requi-
sites of good dairying. 1t is impos-
sible to draw milk in stable that is
nauseating in it's atmosphere and have
the milk pure. The atmosphere fur
nishes the cause of bad odors that
become worse when developed in the
milk. 1t is not infrequent that man
takes great pains to have his hands
washed and clean clothes on when he
milks, and yet allows the odors of the
manure to so permeate the whole
stable that tits impossible to get good
results as to clean product. Every
few months the stable should be given
thorough cleaning, using not only
I've washes but disinfectants as well.
Then the daily task should be to keep
it clean. OF course it is not possible
to do as a great New Jersey dairyman
does-keep man to do nothing but
to remove the droppings as fast as
they are made, but the barn should be
cleaned out often enough to prevent
the odors from permeating every
thing. Whitewashing is valuable be-
cause it not only covers up germs that
may have escaped the disinfectant
washes, but acts as reminder to the
dairyman that his stable is to be kept
clean. Dirt cannot accumulate on
whitewash without being recognized,
and thus the cleanings are likely to be
nearer together. Some have adopted
the practice of painting the boards
near the cows with coal tar. This
would appear to be a good thing. as it
prevents the boards taking in filth
and holding it. They should also be
easier cleaned for this painting

MODEL DAIRY COW.

dairy form shows herself to be of ex-
ceptional dairy merit, but the best
dairy cows so uniformly correspond to
such external characteristics that one
will make no mistake in making the
dairy form his ideal in breeding. Not
all cows with dairy form" show ex-
cellence at the pail and churn; but
few, on the other hand, show such ex-
cellence that do not show these ex-
ternal characteristics. 1t is the only
wise course, then, to breed for them.
and to regard the exceptions that oc-
cur as proving the rule"
The distinguishing external marks
that characterize good dairy COW
which are so excellently shown in this
outline-are wedge-shape for the
body, large in the ''barrel" and rear
quarters, and light and thin in the
fore-quarters; large udder with
large, well-placed teats, looseness and
yellowness of skin; severe leanness of
body as opposed to the rounded and
plump form of the purely beef an
imal, thinness of neck. fineness and
waXiness of horns, "dishing" face,
and full, mild eye. Experience has
shown that the great body of the best
dairy cows possess such points as have
been mentioned. 1t is safe, then, for
the breeder to photograph such an
outline as is here given firmly upon
his mind.-Webb Donnell, in Orange

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.
The cow loveth a generous feeder.
Better let that calf be little fat thar

The cow loveth a generous feeder.
Better let that calf be little fat than
little starved.
No man can have a clean conscience
and dirty constable.
Be sure you are feeding the good cow
enough; be more sure you are not feed
ing poor one too much.
The good cow will make milk either
from her food or from her system
feed is cheaper than cow.
Let the cows bed be warm and clean
and comfortable these nights-Jack
Frost is an Unsuitable consumer of milk.
Not the least valuable merit of good
rich silage is its palatability; to make
the cows mouth water is a wise part
of feeding.
Cows don't always know enough
when turned out in the cold to skip
around to keep warm and make them
selves healthy" They are more like
ly to find the most protected spot and
stand still while they ruminate upon
the proposition that their owner is a
fool.-W. F. McSparran. in National
