EXPLOSION IN OIL HOUSE
Several Persons Badly Injured in Ac-
eider1t at Laramie

Cheyenne, Wyo., March 2S.-An ex-
plosion occurred at an early hour this
morning at the Union Pacific oil house
at Laramie. The end walls were blown
out, the roof thrown thirty feet in the
air, turned over and fell back upon the
rema lining walls. The explosion was
caused by the carelessness OF a car
oiler in leaving the faucet of a gasoline
tank open.

GONE TO SMASH.
All Western Roads Except Santa
Fe Break Presidents
Agreement.

New York, June. 5-The Times says:
General eastern freight agents of lines
west of Chicago who have heretofore
refused to accept business at cut rates
went through the wholesale district yes
terday and solicited business of every
kind at the lowest rates they could
make to suit the shippers without re-
gard to the presidents agreement. The
offers of these agents constitute the first
open violation of the presidents agree
ment in this city. While there has been
considerable talk in Chicago about the
decentralization of westbound rates
there has been no evidence obtainable
in this city of any cut rates being Of
fered until yesterday. When it became
known that some of the western lines
had offered to take business at reduced
rates, the result was that all the other
lines took the same step and the COM
plete decentralization of rates on west
bound business originating in eastern
territory is now an assured fact

LENTZ AND HULL CLASH
congressman Engage in a Brawl
in the House.

Washington, June 5.-There was a
riotous scene in the house this after
noon during a clash between Mr.. Lentz
co. and Mr.. Hull Qa-), growing out
OF a bitter attack on General Corbin
by the former. The matter eliminated
when Mr.. Lentz intimated that General
Corbin appointed the sons of congress-
men in the army to help along his pro-
motion. Mr.. Hull frankly admitted
that he had a son in the army. He
aroused his side to cheers when he pro-
claimed that he thanked God he had
sons who could fight for the country.
Il thank God" said he, that I am
not one of those anonymous creatures
who are unable to perpetuate their spe-
cies." Cheer after cheer greeted this
shot, and when Mr.. Lentz replied that
il he had a son he would be able to
support himself. the hall of the house
was sibilant with Kisses. The confu-
sion was riotous, and order was with
great difficulty restored.

SPARING OF HER REMEDY.

IF'rom the Chicago Times HERALD
There is at least one woman in Ken
wood who believes thoroughly in the eff
ficacy of prayer. About a year ago her
husband engaged in a business venture
that looked rather uncertain. But his
wife had strong faith that II would turn
out well.
''Go ahead, John. she said. "and let US
put our trust in the Lord. I pray every
night that we may have no reason to
regret the risk we are taking"
The affair seemed to turn out pretty
well right from the start. Handsome
dividends were paid all through the
summer and during the winter, and
great joy was in the home of this man
and the sharer of his fortunes.
But there came a turn about a month
ago The business ceased to pay, and
since then the losses have been increas-
ing every day. Nothing was said about
it at the fireside around which so much
happiness had centered during the last
year until the other day when it was
suggested by the worried husband that
it would be we'll to cut down expenses.
Questions followed as a matter Of
course, and then it had to be confessed
that the business was not going well.
Dear mel" exclaimed the distressed
woman, when all the truth had been re
vealed to her, Il must begin praying
again tonightv'

RAILRoAp PRosPER1rY.

[From the Chicago Record.1
Undoubtedly, as Chairman Clark of
the senate committee on railroads saws
the prosperity of the railroads affords a
safe Indication Of the general condition
Of the country. So far as freight trans
portation is concerned. the increased
tariff reveals not only that the articles
of commerce are being produced, but
that they are being marketed at prices
which warrant the payment of trans
portation charges. The vast increase of
passenger earnings on the roads of the
country indicates that both business and
diversion induce the people to move
about The fact that if they were not
prosperous they would not travel for
amusement leads to the conclusion that
the pleasure travelling is due to pros
porous business conditions.
Growing out of this increased BUSH
ness of the railroads are an increase in
the number Of employees and the pro-
spective construction of more miles Of
railroad track. All this activity in rail-
road affairs is proceeding in face Of
the fact that generally railroad freight
and passenger rates are going down
and that the United States has much
lower railroad rates than any other
country in the world. Probably the low
cost Of freight transportation on Ameri-
can railroads has much to do with
bringing about and maintaining pros
porous conditions. This is conspicuously
the fact when it comes to assembling
raw materials for transformation into
manufactured products. The exporta-
ton of such products at a profitable
price depends upon the ability to pro
duce them cheaply.
The hopeful outlook is still further
Frightened by the prospects of good
crops throughout the country and the
prevailing feeling of confidence among
the people.
