MANY PERISH IN EXPLOSION.

AwfnI Catastrophe Occurs in a Fac
tory IN Germany.
A small fire at the electro-chemical
works near Griesheim Germany, ignited
a quantity of picric acid used in making
smokeless powder, causing an explosion
which resulted il the death or injury of
200 people. The factory beca ne imme-
diately mass of flames, and northeast
wind carried the sparks to neighboring
villages, where several houses We're set
on fire. Eighteen cylinders each contain
ing five tons of smokeless powder were
in the room where the explosion occurred
Troops were Immediately ordered tc
Greisheim to prevent the fire spreading
TO the large benzine reservoirs near 10y.
Fire brigades from every place in the
neighborhood hurried to the scene but
owing to the dangerous nature of the dis
aster and the fear of a renewal of the ex-
plosions, the greatest difficulty was eX-
perienced in stopping the progress of the
flames. Only after i've hours of strenu-
Gus effort was the conhagTation to some
extent controlled and the danger passed
so as to make it possible to begin the
work of extricating the bodies.

TRADE UNHURT BY FLOODS.
Gully Eastern Retailers Suffer by Tnces-
sauf Pod Waafher

r. g. Dun & Co.'S review of trade
says: Business continues very brisk for
the season in the face of some drawbacks
which at times might cause marked hesi-
tatlon. Chief OF these is the floods in
many directions which have interfered
with railroad operations and interrupted
the distribution of merchandise, and the
weather all over the east has been ad-
verse TO an increase of retail trade. Much
unfaForable comment has appeared re-
gardlng the advance in steel rails 10 S2S.
Yet the change is only in keeping with
recent increases in prices of pig iron and
olIets. After prolonged period of wait-
ing for definite crop news the cereal mar
kets suddenly awoke to unusual activity.
Much of the increased trading and sharp
advance in prices resulted from clever
manipulation by single western specu-
latoF, who compelled the short contingent
10 cover May corn contracts at the high
est prices of the season. While there
was an element of strength, in the reports
OF late planting, slow movement of the
old crop held greater influence. as stocks
available for delivery were light. Wheat
has risen sharply, partly in sympathy
with corn, but there was bad news re-
gardlng the German crop and some dam
age occurred at the west. Wool is fairly
steady and this is the best that can be
said"

ion that China was able TO pay IN IN

Minister Conger's attention was called
to the fact that there had been good
deal of gossip to the effect that he would
become IA candidate for the nomination
as Governor of Iowa, and he was asked
if he would make the race He said he
could not discuss the matter at present,
but left the impression that he woulI lot

DR.. Ament, the missionary who
achieved considerable notoriety on ac-
count of the charges of footing, and who
was sharply criticized by Mark Twain,
also was an arrival by the same steam
ship.
The Christian missionaries in China
have been grossly misrepresented,' said
Minister COnger. Few things have been
done by them for which any apology need
be made-certainly no more than for the
acts of other foreign civilians or soldiers
in China. | don't say they did nothing
that might not have been better done diff
ferently, but the stories of their footing
and collecting ndemnities by force are
absolutely false. for they did nothing of
the kind, The animosity of the Chinese
was directed not against the representa-
tives of foreign religions, but against cy-
erything foreign. Railroads, business en-
terprises of all kinds, everything that
bore a foreign name or could be reached
by the Boxers, supported, as they were,
by the government, was destroyed.

MOVES ON MANCHURIA.
Russian Expedition Takes KulO by
Storm After Hard Battle.

Russian Expedition Takes Ku1o by
Storm After Hard Battle.
According to a dispatch from st. Pc
tersburg official information has been re-
ceived that renewed military activity is
beginning in Manchuria. Chinese troops
are strongly intrenched at three points
around Mukden. They are armed with
good Mauser rifles and have thirty Krupp
guns.
To the eastward of Mukden, near Tur-
chausen, there are 1900 men under the
chief Boxer general, Lutanse. To the
northwest, near Kulo, there are 6,O00
Chinese under the former governor of
Mukden. To the eastward in Mongolia
and near the In Shan mountain there are
5000 more under the Chinese general,
Schu.
Admiral Alexieff has accordingly or
ganized an expedition under Gen. Ter
pinsky, consisting of two regiments and
five sotnias Of Cossacks, siXteeA guns and
body of volunteers, TO operate against
the three points mentioned. The first
movement was successfully carried out
in the beginning of April. Kulo, which
is $50 kilometers from Mukden, was
stormed and the ex-governor of Mukden
was taken prisoner. In this action the
Russians had thirteen men killed and
four officers and eighteen men wounded.
The advance toward the Turchausen po-
sition was then begun.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN FAMINE.
Fearful State of Destitution Prevail
ing in Siberia,

ing in Siberia.
Famine has again appeared in Russia,
this time in western and central Siberia,
while in eastern Siberia the people are
on the verge of want. In the two for
mer sections of Siberia the famine was
brought about by drouth, not a drop of
rain having fallen during the spring of
1900. As a consequence the crop was a
failure and even the grass was burned
under the glaring heat of the sun. For
want of fodder the PEASANTS had to sell
their cattle at ruinous prices. Thousands
of immigrants who settled in that section
of Siberia within the past few years and
who had little or nothing to fall back
upon are now wandering from town to
town and perishing by scores. The more
fortunate settlers are reduced to eating
licorice, weeds and bread mixed with
clay.
In eastern Siberia the conditions are
not much of an improvement over those
in the other sections. Al last summer
it rained constantly, foctling the fields
and rotting the crops. Bread has risen
600 per cent in price and children are dy-
ing from conditions consequent upon in
sufficient noCrishment.

LINCOLN'S BODY MOVED.
Remains of the Martyred President
Placed in the New Tomb.

PlaceO In the new lOn1D.
Wednesday afternoon the remains of
President and Mrs. Lincoln, their three
sons and grandson were transferred from
the temporary vault in which they have
been reposing during the reconstruction
of the Lincoln monument to the catacomb
in the new structure especially prepared
for them. The transfer was made in
the presence of the commissioners of the
Lincoln monument grounds, Gov. Yates,
Superintendent of Public Instruction AL
fred BayliSs, State Treasurer NJ. o.
Williamson the surviving members Of the
Lincoln Guard of Honor and a few 9TH
ers who were prominently connected with
the affairs of the State of Illinois, and
the city of Springfield at the time of the
death of Lincoln.
When the hour set for the transfer ar
rived the huge stone slabs covering the
Baskets were removed with derrick and
the caskets were hoisted from the vault
and placed in position in the new monu-
ment. The baskets containing the re-
mains of the three sons and the grand
son occupied the upper story of the vault
and were the first to be taken out. With
these removed, the boxes inclosing the
caskets of the martyred President and
Mrs. Lincoln were exposed to view
These were quickly lifted from the deep
vault and, with uncovered heads, those
present witnessed the placing of the
remains in their final resting place. For
nal dedication of the new monument will
take place Oct. Is. This will be the an
niversary of the dedication of the old
monument and the plan is to make the
occasion one of Importance.
The casket containing President Lin
coins remains was opened fourteen years
ago and since then has been Theoretically
sealed. When the casket was opened
in 1887 the remains were viewed by men
who had known Lincoln in life The face
had changed little. These men declared
that scarcely any of the familiar Inca
ments of the strong features were lost in
the years since his death in 1860.

Mrs. Addie Clark, a bride of four
weeks, is the victim of a very mysterious
robbery, which incidentally caused her
to also lose her husband during their
honeymoon. Mrs. Clark, whose home is
in Evansville, Ind, answered the matri-
mOnial ad of Asa d. Clark of st. Louis.
He went to Evansville and married her.
afterward telling her that she was only
his fifth wife. The couple went to st
Louis, the bride taking over $1,000 in
money and jewelry with her. They
stopped at the residence of Mrs. Martha
Gill, who claims to be Clark's sister.
While at supper Mr.. and Mrs. Clark We're
startled by a scream, and rushing up
stairs found Mrs. Gill on the floor. She
said a masked burglar had ransacked
Clark's room and had knocked her down.
During the police investigation which
followed Clark had violent quarrel with
his bride and for protection she ran to
the police station, where she slept over
night. Mrs. Clark now says she will re-
turn to her former home in Evansville.
The police are greatly mystifed over the
robbery.

SURGEONS ODD CURE
PARALYSIS RELIEVED BY REMOV-
ING FRAGMENTS OF BONE.
Spinal Column Had Been Shattered by
Young Man Falling from Step Lad
der-hettIefuI of Gold Dug Up on an
Ohio Farm.

Alfred Lehr, a young man whose home
is in Joplin, Mo, has undergone a rare
surgical operation at a hospital in st.
Louis. On March 20 he fell from a
step-ladder, and in short time paralysis
of the lower part of the body set in. For
six weeks he was unable to move a mus
Gle below the arms, and local physicians,
unable to help him, sent him to St. Louis.
An N-ray picture showed that the spinal
column was shattered. An incision six
inches long was made, exposing the back
bone. The fragments and splinters,
which were pressing against the spinal
cord, thus causing paralysis, were-remov-
ed, and Immediately pulsation was OBJ
served in the cord. Lehr will probably
recover.

GROWTH OF DIVORCE
IN THE UNITED STATES.

In 1870 319 per cent of all marriages in
the United States ended in divorce courts.
In 1881 the percentage had risen to As.
In 1890 it was 50, and in 1900 it was 8
per cent. In other words, the percentage
of divorces to marriages in this country
has more than doubled since 1870.
The total number of divorces in the
United States for a given year was 3d.
427. During the same year 20,111 di-
vorces were granted in all the world out
side of the United States. There was an
excess of 1861 divorces in this country

then leaped in after them. None of the
bodies has been recovered, but the police
