BIG WHEAI ELEYATOR BURSTS
And Spills Fifteen Thousand Bushels
at " ellington.

At Wellington the Kramer wheat ele-
vator burst Wednesday and dropped
1900 bushels Of wheat ort into the open
and into rain with crash. It is es-
tmated that 1000 bushels Of wheat were
damaged. The wheat dropped from the
top Of half of five bins on the north
side The Wellington Mail explains the
accident IN this way: "A strip Of the
wall twelve feet wide entirely across the
elevator. thirty feet above ground, gave
way suddenly with a crash. The stud
ding and rods snapped off clean and in
stead Of pouring out gradually, 1900
bushels OF wheat dropped like one solid
mass with the section Of wall UNDER
meath. The driveway Of heavy oak tim
rbers on which loaded wagons are driven
to dump their loads, was crushed. The
elevator employees had only a few min
utes before passed under the driveway
into the engine room, and they shuddered
to think how narrowly~they mad escaped
being buried under fifteen carloads Of
wheat 1t was raining a little when the
accident occurred and some tall hustling
was begun to get the wheat under cover.
All the men who could be secured were
employed to shovel and sack the wheat.
Only seven cars could be secured to load
The grain, so it was stored in sacks
in every available space about the mill
and some Of it hauled to the Hunter
elevator for storage. The capacity Of the
elevator is 1000 bushels. and it had in it
this morning 5000 bushels. The struct-

quently been patched and strengthened
by new rods. The building was begun
IN May, 1889 and partially completed in
the following fall for the storage Of
wheat The job was never really COM
peted. and prominent elevator men who
examined it at various times say that
The rod system used in its construction
cannot be relied upon except for smaller
elevators"

he explained TO them that he would be
home as SION as he finished the work
that he was then doing The young men
roomed at the same house. and the three
retired. but noticed that young Brewer
Gid not come as soon as looked for How
ever. they did not think about it.
as 1t was thought that he might have
gone TO a hotel or something of that sort.
The young men arose the next morning
and discussed me situation. Sul they
thought nothing about the young man
not coming, and went to the mill Office.
after opening the door they found the

state that it seemed almost impossible to
save his life Three physicians were

italian Plot to Kill the President.


1t seems that the anarchists who
have their headquarters at Naples and
organizations in every country, have
determined upon assassination OF all
the rulers of the world, whether they
represent despotism or freedom. The
U. S. secret service agents learned OF a
plot concocted early this month, and
that eleven Italians and three Austri-
an. had been selected by lot, to make
way with President Mckinley. They
also followed up their clews SO as to
have ascertained that the conspirators
had left different ports singly and in
pairs, and cabled in time to secure
them Il warm, il not cordial reception
on this side the deep blue sea. The
fourteen men have all been Gagged.
Their plan, it is stated, was to pro-
coed to Washington simultaneously
surround the President, and await an
opportunity to strike by knife or pis-
toll. 1t WAS thought quite sure that
some one of the conspirators would
succeed in inflicting n dcath-wound.
The matter of escape was not consid-
cred, the men being willing to sacri.
flee their lives in the undertaking.
1t is said that two of the conspira.
tors are charged with completely in
the murder Of King Humbert, and are
wanted by the Italian government to
answer for that crime. While twelve
OF the suspects will be deported, on
the ground of being undesirable. i'm.
migrants and no warrants will be is
sued for their arrest, the two
needed by the Italian government will
be arrested and held till the arrival of
the Naples authorities for extradition
papers.
