Drilling Boiler Exploded.

While a crew Of Fred Horizons
drillers were working on gas well on
the |. Port farm southeast of lola
about four miles Wednesdayafternoon
the boiler burst. Fortunately no
one was hurt.
The gang at work was George Hep
burn, Mr.. English and VIII Pike but
they were all in the de: rick when it
burst. 1t broke where the fire box
Joins the boiler and the fue end of the
boiler was thrown hundreds of feet,
hit the ground and ricochetted again
seventy-hve feet. The dome was
thrown several hundred feet as was
also the fire box and the remnants OF
the boiler are but torn mass OF iron,
Luckily the parts which were so forci'
bly, shot into the air missed the der
rick and nothing was harmed there
The pipe connection with the engine
was snapped by the explosion but thu
engine was unframed. Two women o
the neighborhood who were standing
near by watching the work were scarce
out of a years growth, but suffered
MS further injury. A new boiler will
cost close to $4O0 and Mr.. Horto
naturally feels disguised.

Local Divorce Statistics.

\ glance over the court docket of
Allen county shows that there are filed
thirteen divorce cases for the coming
term. Five men ask divorce and eight
women. Four men charge their wives
with adultery, and one with desertion.
Six husbands are charged with deser-
ton and two with drunkenness and
cruelty. OF the thirteen families, six
had children: the largest collection be-
ing five and the smallest one. All
the wives charged with the gravest
offense had children, two having one
child each and one five children. Two
deserving husbands had children, and
four none: one drinking husband had
one child. The longest period of wed,
lock of the thirteen couples was twenty
years, the shortest eleven days. Az
erage duration, ten years and ter
months each. Which shows that wha'

If the teeth are to get but one thor
ough cleansing during the day just be-
fore retiring is the best time to give it
to them, as there are six or eight hours
during sleep that the salivary glands
are inactive, and fatty and starchy
foods that may be lodged between and
around the teeth are bathed in saliva,
a partial digestive fluid, undergo de-
composition, forming acids, which act
more or less readily on the tooth struc-
ture at the time of formation. The
salivary glands not being active dur
ing sleep, acids are not diluted, as dur
ing day free flow of saliva prevents to
a great degree the deleterious effects of
acids thus formed. The teeth and
gums should be carefully brushed after
each meal with a medium soft brush,
using as wash on damp brush alcohol,
rosewater and listerine, equal parts

Gary Ronsch's Letter.

The REGISTER claims the honor of
putting Carey Rourch and his sixteen
children before an interested world.
Carey is an enthusiastic l6 to l man

divinity. He recently wrote to Mr.,
Bryan at Lincoln, telling about his
feelings and his sixteen children, and
inquired what the great Democratic
leader considered a proper name for
the youngest boy, a baby in arms.
Yesterday Mr.. Roush received a letter
from Mrs. Bryan saying that William

before, had been deeply interested in
the aforesaid sixteen, and had sug-

The Porto Rican Question Likely to
Receive Considerable Attention.

The Porto Rican Question Likely to
Receive Considerable Attention.
Rutland, March 26.-The state con-
vention to be held at Montpelier Wednes-
day, April Is, to elect delegates to the
national Republican convention to be
held in Philadelphia promises to be one
of the most interesting political gather
ings ever held in Vermont. 1t can be
stated that it seems probable that the
Green Mountain state will declare in no
uncertain tones in favor of free trade
with Porto Rico. The endorsement
given the members of the Vermont con-
gressona delegation who have come out
boldly against the majority plan of i'm
posing tariff on Porto Rican products
leaves no doubt as to the sentiment of
the state on this subject, but the choice
of speakers for that occasion shows
that no other sentiment will find eX-
preston there.
State Bank Examiner +. l.. Fish, who
is to preside at the convention, in reply
to query. said that Congressman
Charles l. Lttlefield of Maine and Con-
gresham Samuel W. Mccall of Massa-

of these men have gained prominence In
the fight made in the house against the
party measure on the Porto Rican tariff.
Mr.. Mccall represents the eighth con-
gressional district of Massachusetts and
is one of the strongest young Republic
ans in the house of representatives.. He
is leader in the New England delega-
ton and started the fight in the house
against the proposed tariff He was APP
pointed a member of the ways and means
committee at the opening of this session.
He chose for wife "A young lady of
Lyndon.
Congressman I.ittlefield is too widely
known to need an extended notice. His
first recognition as Il powerful speaker
followed his speech against the majority
report of the Republicans in the Roberts
pOlygamy case. His speech on the floor
of the house in opposition to the Porto
Rican tariff was awaited with the most
interest and aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm of any speech made during the
present session of congress. Although
serving his first term as the successor of
national recognition and respect and the
management of the coming convention
could not have secured a man that Yer
mOnters are more anxious to hear.

Vermonters are directly interested in
the matter of the lease of the Ftchburg

for low freight rates to Boston are es

and with the Fitchburg conducted as an
Independent road there was at least a
fighting chance of our securing lower
rates than those which now prevail.
The recent action taken by the stock
holders of the road is therefore rather
depressing. BY vote of 10, G77 shares

end is not yet, however, as the legisla-
