MINERS SAVED BY A GIRL
She Has Presence of Mind to Warn
Them of Burning Powder
House.

YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, May 13.-The pres
ence OF mind of Miss Katie Henderson saved
the lives Of thirty men employed in the
quarries at West Conshohcoken from death
or injury.
Miss Henderson resides a short distance
from the quarry and as she looked from a
window she saw that the roof Of the powder
magazine was blazing. The men at work
in the quarry were not aware OF their dan
ger until she ran to the quarry and warned
them, not a second too soon.
While the men and Miss Henderson were
fleeing for their lives there was a terrible
explosion and the air was filled with
splinters. stone and dirt. which fell upon
their heads.
In the magazine which exploded there
were thirty kegs of powder and 800 pounds
Of dynamite. Nothing but a hole in the
ground marks the place where the powder
house stood.

NEBRASKA CROP BULLETIN
Winter Wheat Conditions Have Improved
Greatly During Past Week.
CORN PLANTING PROGRESSING RAPIDLY
Pastures show Great Improvement
and oats Are Coming In Much
Better Than Earlier in
the Season.

United States Department Of Agriculture,
Climate and Crop Bulletin OF the Weather
bureau, Nebraska section, for the week
ending May 10, says:
The last week has been warm, with
geenrous showers the first day Of the week.
The daily mean temperature has averaged
about 2 degrees above the normal.
The rainfall occurred on the first days
Of the week and generally amounted to
between 0.75 OF an inch and an inch.
The past week has been a favorable one
for the growth OF all vegetation. Winter
wheat has improved very much in condi-
ton. In a few southern counties the rain
was too late to benefit the earlier fields,
and the crop now promises less than half
the average crop. In a large part OF the
winter wheat belt. however, the prospect
ls that with favorable weather from nearly
three-fourths to q full crop will be realized.
Grass In pastures and meadows has i'm
proved, but is still decidedly below the
average condition at this time Of year.
Oats have grown we'll during the week.
The soil is In excellent condition and corn
planting has progressed rapidly. The
early planted is coming up nicely. Fruit
trees are bloesoming very fully in north
ern counties; cherries are setting poorly
In southern counties.
