GREAT RICE BOOM is ON.
Planters in Louisiana and Southern
Texas Rushing to Get in the Bust
ness.

The rice crop has now been har-
vested and the product for Louisiana
and Texas is estimated at 1850 900
sacks. about 200. 900 sacks short of last
year. The good prices obtained for
the cereal and the appearance of the
American Rice Growers Distribution
company Tor Rice Trust), in the field.
with a pledge to buy all the rice that
may be raised at a fixed price, which
assures a good profit to the rice farm
ers, has given an immense impetus to
the business. The prospects are good
for an immense crop next year.
More rice is being sold and at higher
prices than ever before. The rice in
dustry a extended over into south
eastern Texas, where the land is of
the same character as in Louisiana
and 10000 acres will be planted this
year and probably much more than
that if the seed can be obtained. Ma

acres in rice last year, will plant Is
900 acres in it this season, and proba-
bly, 10000 mex season. Colorado coun-
ty Will increase it's rice acreage from
$500 to 5000 and probably to 10. 900 if

10000 acres and count on having 75,-
900 acres in rice in 1902. The acreage

DAN TURNER TALKS ABOUT
MEXICo'S MONEY -ROUBLE
He Says the Banks are all Right and
the Reserves are Large Enough
for any Emergency.

Dan Turner, superintendent of the
Wells Fargo Express in
Mexico. spent last night in Ell Paso.
Mr.. Turner has not beer well for sew
eral months and vas on his way to
California to spend the rest of the
winter. He returned from San Fran
cisco q week ago but when he reached
chihuahua he grew worse and was ad-
Yised to go back to California.
Mr. Turner has been superintendent
of the W~ells-Fargo company in Mex
leo for sixteen years and has been off
duty very little of h time since he
first began. The financial condition
In Mexico has been much exaggerated
in one respect" said Mr.. Turner, "and
that is in regard to the banks. The
banks of Mexico have profited by the
scarcity of silver n now have their
vaults filled with it. The expectation
of silver has hurt no one but the COM
mon people just as the scarcity of gold
did in this country in 1893. When the
bankers saw that the silver was being
exported so heavily they Immediately
began boarding it IN now most of the
coin in the country is in their vaults.
No. the banks are all right and I
think the trouble will soon be over.
1t is reported that the government is
going to reopen all the state minis
anu III lHlS way OUeT inducements 10
the silver producers to have their
money coined in the republic instead
of sending il away. My company has
been handling about So ZOO. 900 per
month for some time and the result
has been to make the banks cautious
but not alarmed. They will not fur
nish none for speculative purposes
and only let out enough to keep all
legitimate business moving"
Mr. Turnar THINKS tho Ma~foon
banks are a s strong in every way as
most OF the banks in this country and
are well equal to most any emergency.
He says that If the banks were called
upon today to redeem all their out
standing paper they could do it and
have enough specie left to carry on all
thei business. 1t is only the mer-
hants who are suffering on account
of the little silver in circulation.

Victims Are Terribly Mangled
Bodies Thrown in Every

MILWAUKEE, June IA Sentinel spe-
cial from Brillon, Wis, says six per-
sons were killed by an explosion Of
dynamite in tho home of William
Broehm at Forest Junction, about eight
miles from Brillon. The dead are:
William Broehm, Mrs. William
Broehm, three children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Broehm, ages ranging from 2 to Z years;
H. Stevens, brother Of Mrs. Broehm.
The cause of the explosion is not
known. The supposition is that about
IL pounds of the deadly explosive was
too near the stove and became over
heated and exploded. No one was left to
tell how the accident occurred, as every
occupant of the house was killed. The
explosion occurred in the back part of
the house where the family was sup
posedly eating breakfast This part Of
of the house was scattered all over the
ground many yards distant and the
main part of the dwelling was badly
wrecked. So great was the force Of the
explosion that part Of bannister was
blown through three walls. The re.
mains Of the unfortunate victims were
literally blown to pieces and beyond all
semblance Of recognition. Boehm was q

ONLY TWO BILLS LEFT.

Senate Passes the suntlry Civil Appro-
priation Measure.
WASHINGTON, June AT the con.
clusion of session lasting eight hours
the senate passed tho sundry civil ap-
preparation bill which has been under
consideration for nearly a week. The
amendment providing for an appropria-
ton Of So, 600, 900 for the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition to be held in st. Louis
in 1908 was continued in the bill. An
effort was made to reduce the amount
to be appropriated, but was unsuccess-
full. An amendment was Incorporated
providing for the beginning Of the work
on the memorial bridge between Wash
ington and Arlington cemetery to be
erected in memory Of the dead Of both
the Union and Confederate armies.
While the bill carries only $20,000 for
the project, it is expected ultimately to
cost $1,000, 900. An amendment also
was added to the measure providing for
an adjustment of certain claims Of the
states of New York, Pennsylvania, Vir-
ginia, Delaware, California, Oregon and
South Carolina. The passage Of tho
sundry civil bill leaves only two general
appropriation bills to be acted upon by
the senate, the military academy and
the general deficiency measure.
