BLOWN TO PIECES
BOX SKATERS HEAVY
IRON COVER
SEVERAL MARROW ESCAPES
Accident Happened at Fourth and
jackson Streets and Caused a
Small BIaze-Fire De-
partment Called.

Considerable excitement was caused at
Fourth and Jackson streets about 1880
yesterday afternoon by an explosion in
one of the junction boxes through which
the underground electric light wires pass.
Luckily no one was hurt, although there
were number of narrow escapes.
An eye witness of the accident says
he was standing at the corner of Fourth
and Robert streets, one block away when
he heard a terrific noise that sounded
like an explosion, and looking towards
Fourth and Jackson, he saw mass of
fire and smoke shoot out of the ground,
and also saw the heavy iron cover on
the box hurled about thirty feet in the
air. Pieces of iron were soon falling all
around and people who happened to be
in the vicinity were kept busy for a
few moments lodging the missiles.
a company of the fire department was
called out and after throwing consider
able water on the fire succeeded in put
ting it out. 1t is not known just how
the accident happened and it is the first
of its kind in the city. The theory is adj
vaneed, however, that some of the I'M
foreground wires became crossed and
started the blaze.
1t is thought that the heat from this
caused the sudden explosion. A buggy
had just driven over the spot and had
not gone more than thirty feet beyond
it when the explosion occurred Electric
ians were soon at work repairing the
damage but this took some time. There
are two covers on each of these holes
and when a search was made for the
pieces some were found nearly a half
block away. The fact that no windows
were broken by the flying missiles in con-
sidered remarkable by those who were in
the vicinity at the time of the explosion.

SCARCITY OF LABORERS
RAILROAD CONTRACTORS IN BEL
TRAMI ANTICIPATE A FAMINE.

Contractors for railroad logging work
in Belliami county are becoming alarmed
over a possible scarcity of laborers for
the work which has been mapped out
for the fall and winter months. The
Minnesota & International has several
times had to practically cease construc-
ton work, and has not had an average
of 100 men at work since the advent of
harvest time in Dakota.
T. B. Walker is about to commence
the construction of a standard gauge
railroad for logging purposes, from a
point half way between Solway and
Shevlin to a point fourteen miles south,
in the neighborhood of Lake Itasca
where he has about 20O,000,0O0 feet of
pine to get out, and which he will haul
to Bemidji and Akeley for saving. His
contractors are now getting in their
work camps on the line, and will be
crying for laborers within the next few
days.
Over 4O0,OO00OO feet of pine timber Will
be logged the coming winter within fifty
miles of Bemidji, calling for upwards
of 1000 men and teams Bem1dji has now
become the hiring place for all this army
of men, and it is anticipated that the
rush here will be a big one within the
next thirty days.

The Courier was mistaken and that
they are worth educating and are in
fair way to become useful, honorable
and influential citizens of the city

Mr.. johnson, the editor Of The Ad.

failure as a means of cultivating chill
dren into manly and womanly citi-
zens. 1t is the only place, after the
years OF early home training. where
such culture is possible. 1t is not
taught, or not effectually taught, in
the grades. for the children there are
too young; they can not appreciate
the meaning Of individual resposibil-

supervision and have no opportunity
to discriminate between right and
wrong courses of action. The univer-
slty cones too late to teach this. In
the high school and particularly in
this high-schoOl under this Principal,
who has the respect and backing OF
every decent boy and girl in it, such
culture is going on. Courtesy is priced
and unkindness and cowardice are
despised. The scholars are fair-mind-
ed and generous. Though they make
mistakes OF ignorance or of thought
lessness and impulse, they are never
unkind nor afraid to repair evil when
it is pointed OUT"
