In the Indiana senate charges were
made against lobby lists alleged to be
working for the passage of a bill to es-
tablish bonding and surety companies in
the state. Senator Inman (Dem.) de-
clared the lobbyists had entered the floor
of the senate and had secretly offered to
admit senators to the proposed company
if they would vote for the bill.

BLOWN TO PIECES.
Explosion Of Nitroelycerin in IpSl-
ana Kills . Man and Team
Of Horses.

Muncie, Ind, Feb. 4.-The Indiana
gas belt, with circumference of 800
miles, was given a thorough shaking
up at noon Sunday with another
nitroglycerin explosion on the
Washington Painter farm, IS miles
west of Muncie, and only fragments
OF team of horses and a man in
charge can be found. Percy Fort, of
kmghtstown, was hauling 700 quarts
OF nitroglycerin to the magazine of
the Painter farm for use in the oil
wells, and the explosion occurred
while the man was unloading the
stuff from the wagon. There were
SO quarts in the magazine, and only
two great holes in the ground show
where the wagon and magazine stood,
while fragments of the mans clothes
with bits of flesh and part of the
horses hang in the tree tops for
quarter of a mile distant. A part of
one arm is the largest piece of the
mans body found. Fortunately nc
one else was near, owing to the fact
that it was Sunday. There is no one
to tell how it happened. The Alvy
Painter home is 200 yards distant, and
was badly wrecked, dishes being
broken with every window light.
Some stock in the barn yard was
killed, but the family was at church.
Other houses had windows broken out.
and in Alexandria, four miles distant,
a plate glass window in an office was
broken, also many saloon windows
were broken out in the town. The
explosion was heard IS miles distant,
at Elwood.

IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS,

In j. r. Burton, the new senator from
Kansas, the Long lean figure of Senator
ingalls, is repeated. There is also said
to be a striking similarity in the face
and in manner of speaking.
Speaking of the>kindly wit which
was one of the late Senator Davis most
striking characteristics, Senator Hoar
uttered this epigram: "No spark from
him was ever cinder in the eye of a
friend"
Senator Plat, of New York, dropped
his glasses in the senate the other day.
He was looking helplessly on the floor
for them, when up stepped page, and,
like youthful Hermann extracted
them from the senator's beard in
which they had caught in falling.
Congressman Shattuc, of Ohio, has
a weakness for gaudy vests, although
in other respects he dresses quietly.
His seat in the house is in the front row
of the republican side and he jocularly
says that he wears snowy vests in order
to catch the speakers eye.
Congressman Taylor, who represents
President McKinley's old Ohio district
in congress, the other day received from
the Philippines a magnificent set of
chessmen. Each piece is most elabo-
rately and artistically carved, the king
and queen pieces being six inches
high. The set is of Chinese manufac.
ture and is present from an officer
now on duty in the Philippines.

DEATH IN A FIRE.
Milwaukee Residence Burns and Five
Children Lose Their Lives
by SuiTOcatiOn.

Milwaukee, Feb. Alive children
met death by suffocating and one
woman was fatally burned in fire
in the dwelling of Andrew Luebke
Saturday night. The Luebke cottage
is in Bay View at the corner of Rus
sell and Clement avenues. When the
firemen responded to an alarm at ten
o'clock Saturday night they found the
house locked They broke in the doors
and quickly extinguished small
blaze in the kitchen. In the bedroom
were found the dead bodies of the
five children, who had evidently been
suffocated by the smoke which filled
the house. Behind the stove in the
kitchen lay the body of an old wom-
an, yet alive, but unconscious and
badly burned. She was taken to the
emergency hospital and is not likely
to recover. The children were two
boys and three girls, the Oldest ~
years, the youngest four. The parents
were away from home and left the
children in charge of Mrs. Baywater,
the old woman found in the kitchen.
The fire was evidently caused by an
overturned lamp.

Exports of the precious metals play
an important part in the enormous
sum totals of our foreign trade. In
1890 we exported domestic gold to the
value of $20.654,96O and silver to the
value of $16,09s, 1s9. During the last
decade the exports of domestic gold
have more than doubled, while those
of silver have increased more than
threefold. In 1900 we exported of do.
mestic gold $52,7s7, 1923 worth, and of
silver 9,272,6 6S worth. OF these met
ais gold now ranks fourth and silver
second in the list of exported metals.
