A Boiler EXPLOSION.

Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 31.-At $3.50
this morning one of the boilers used
by Will Strum in drilling the well of
the Denver Oil and Pipe Line company
better known as the Smith well, ex-
ploded, instantly killing Ralph Wilker-
son, the fireman. He was alone and
no one was nearer than the camp
house, so that the true cause of the
explosion will never be known. The
boiler was one of battery of two
twenty horse power and was the one
which was not kept hot at night, 1t
being the custom to cut it off at night.
Will Sturm says that he thinks the
explosion was caused by turning the
steam into the boiler so fast that 1t
displaced the water on the crown
sheet The boiler house was demol-
ished and Wilkerson was thrown about
fifty feet and badly injured. A letter
was found in the pocket of the dead
man from his aunt, Mrs. Bowman of
Bluffton, inu.
One of the remarkable incidents of
the explosion was the narrow escape
of Ben Bird of the Haywood OIL COM
pany. Bird, who is field foreman, was
sleeping at the Haywood. clubhouse
a half mile away. He heard the re-
port and was in the act of dressing to
see what was the matter when piece
of iron weighing twenty pounds came
crashing through the roof and passed
within two inches of his head. 1t
knocked a hole in the roof about two
feet in diameter, passed through the
mattress and floor and buried itself
about eighteen inches in the earth.

Center, Texas, Jan. S1.-The state
rested its case this morning in the case
of State VS.. Lum Crouch and Frank
Sharp, the parties who are jointly in
dicted for the killing of the Roberts
in San Augustine county last June.
When the state closed its case counsel
for the defendant requested the court
to instruct the jury to return verdict
of not guilty as to Frank Sharp and
the court promptly instructed the jury
to return verdict of not guilty as
against Sharp and the trial then pro
ceeded with Lum Crouch alone as de-
PENDANT. The defendant is now intro
ducing his testimony.

LEmlEy AND scHLEx.
They Think Sampson Should Be Heard
Before Question Is Decided.

Washington. Jan. 31.-"The com
ment" Of Judge Lemley and Solicitor
Hanna upon the appeal of Admiral
Schley as submitted to the president
by Secretary Long is less than third
as long as the appeal itself, fact ac-
counted for by the comparatively few
quotations of the testimony in the case
of the comment"
They begin with the statement that
Schley and his counsel have shifted
their ground. They say the chief
features of the case were "the retro
grade movement" "disobedience of or
ders," inaccurate and misleading of
fetal reports" failure to destroy ves-
sells of the enemy lying within sight"
and injustice to brother officer"
The commenters say: Upon all the
above named features, believed by us
to be the most important, if not the
only really important matters into
which the court made inquiry, the con-
duct of Admiral Schley was condemn
ed by the most distinguished tribunal
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals
Benham and Ramsay united in their
findings and opinion upon all of these
several points, and they united also in
the significant recommendation that
no further proceedings be had, in
view of the length of time which has
elapsed since the occurrence of the
events of the Santiago campaign"

LEON PEPPERMAN

A Montgomerian Who Has Done
 Much Service in the Philippines.
 Washington Associated Press tele- gram says:
 Mir. W. l.. Pepperman, member of the Philippine Civil Service Commission. is in the city, having just arrived on leave of absence from Manila. MT. Pepperman today said:
 'The scope of the commission has been extended gradually until 1t now covers 5000 positions. ranging in salary from SIS per month to s7.709 per year.
 Mir. Pepperman says that the immedi- ate reward to successful applications has cauEed a change in the old class of edu- cation under the Spanish regime to one of more modern character, based largely on practical business lines. So great Is the interest of the Filipinos in acquiring a knowledge of English that 10000 adults are going to night school In Manila.
 Before the American occupation type writers were almost unknown in the Phil ippines, but now at every examination held by the commission applicants are qualifying in typewriting and stenog- raphy. Of 5000 positions mentioned, 4.OOO are held by natives. the remainder by Americans The policy of the commits sion, Mir. Pepperman says, has been to
 
 rapidly as possible.
 Under Spanish rule" he continued, women were unheard of in the Govern ment service. but just before l left Ma nila three Filipino young ladies had pass ed successful examinations and had been given good positiona. The Filipino makes a splendid clerk.
 Shortly before coming to America, made a tour of the principal cities for the purpose of conducting examinations. It was surprising how much good material Was discov cred. considering the fact that the education of the islands is centered in Manila. Enough competent men were found to fill all the provincial positions" :" The many friends of MT. Pepperman in this city will read the above with inter- est. He has resided the greater part of his life In this city and his mother and father. MT. and Mrs. Jacob Pepperman have long resided here.

COULDN'T RESTORE LIFE.
Amusing Story of a Show Before
 the War.

Under the pen name ''E. P. J..,' an old inhabitant of Montgomery contributes to The Advertiser the following amusing story of an incident 2 of' the days gone by; oughiy advertised, The Great American Fire King landed in Montgomery. made the Montgomery Hall, headquarters and soon proceeded to turn the city. upside down. He would show the modus op erandi by which he had detected the great European fire king. He would kill a dog or cat with prussic acid and restore life in few moments. He would perform many wonderful works.
 At the appointed hour the house was crowded After preliminary remarks the exhibition opened up He would run his hand into tho red-hot stove and shovel up the coals. lick a red-hot shovel, pour melted lead on his eyes and i'll his mouth with meped lead, pour the lead all over his cheeks. eat live coals of fire from ceiling wax and let it run all over his face. catch his mouth full, etc. He had captured the confidence of his audience:
 Tho climax. eare when he killed the cat. He produced vial of prussc acid. explained that 1t was obtained from Cost ter < Cox. reliable druggists and proved by all doctors that, ten drops would kill any living animal: but to make assurance he would gicve the cat teaspoonful. He asked the au1ience to select reliable men to administer the poison. The committee was selected the poison successfully ad- ministered and in a few seconds the cat was as dead as stone
 Then the work of resuscitation began. He put wet cotton near the cats nose and at intervals he would turn the cat over and shake it's head, Eventually the audi- cncs gave unmistakabte signs of weaci- ness.
 He would persuade us to be patient. to give him time, and all would come out right. He kept us there all night and at dawn of day he announced that he would have to give 1t up; he couid not restore life. Then the fun began.
 All began to laugh at each other for being fools, when a negro porter gave vent to his feelings by series of un- earthly screams. The Fire King had promised him 20 cents for the use of the cat and had promised to return the cat sound and well.
 Everyone left sin good humor and enjoyed laughing at themselves.
