The digesters were located in a ten
story building. There were ten OF
them in the building, each one resem-
bling vat and about six feet in diam
eter. They were used for reducing
wood pulp Eighteen men were at
work in the building. There were two
terrific reports and the next instant the
building and mills about the structure
were completely wrecked. One digest
er was blown into the air and fell to
the ground $50 feet away. A dense vol
ume of smoke for a time prevented the
outside workmen from going to the i'm
n edlate rescue of those who were
caught in the ruins of the falling build
ing. Several men made their escap pc
without injury. An alarm of fire was
sounded and the entire fire department,
of the city and a large force of police
were soon on the ground and the work
of rescue was Immediately begun. Sew
eral of the workmen were taken Out
| unconscious, only to die after being re-
moved to hospitals. The wreckage was
piled up for more than thirty feet an6
the escaping steam made the work OF
rescue difficult.
Those who were not killed outright
were mangled and We're burned by es-
Gaping acid that flowed over theil
| bodies from the broken digesters. The

HORTON RALLIES.
The Distinguished Lawyer Ar
rives at Topeka Alive.
He appeared Somewhat Better
When He Arrived.
SECURES SOME SLEEP.
Reported to Be Resting Easily
This Afternoon.
Death Is Only Question of
Short Time.
SECURES SOME SLEEP.

At O'Clock this afternoon Judge Hor-
ton was reported to be resting comfor-
tably with no change from his condition
this morning. His mind was clear and
he was able to recognize those about
him.
Judge Albert H. Horton was reported
to be resting easily at noon today. He
slept some after his arrival in Topeka
and his condition may be said to be
slightly improved though there is no
hope of his recovery.
The special car which carried Judge
Horton from Kenosha, Wis, arrived in
Topeka at midnight. He was taken
from the car in an ambulance and re-
moved to the Bowman home at Tenth
avenue and Harrison street. Mr.. B.. p.
Waggener, in whose car Judge Horton
was brought home was in charge of his
sick partner. DIR. Charles Lowry of To-
peka accompanied the party from Wis
consin and looked after Judge Horizons
welfare. Mrs. Horton and Miss Rose
Horton completed the party.
The determination to come home was
arrived at last week when DR.. Lowry
who had been spending the summer at
Kenosha suggested that he intended to
come home. Judge Horton then ex-
pressed wish that he desired to re-
turn home at the same time. 1t was
deemed impracticable to attempt to
cause of the changes necessary to be
made in Chicago On Saturday Judge
Horton was seized with violent hic
coughs and his condition became most
alarming. On Sunday this condition
continued and it was then decided to
telegraph to Mr.. Waggener to take his
private car to Kenosha. 1t was delayed
by washouts and did not arrive until A
p. m. Tuesday when the party at once
started for home. In the meantime the
condition of Judge Horton showed slight
| improvement. There were more delays
in Chicago and at noon Wednesday
| while en- route to Topeka Judge Horton
again began to sink. 1t was then
| thought that he would not reach home
alive. Shortly after 2 p. m. he rallied
| and when he reached Topeka was much
| stronger though he was still believed to
| be in dying condition.
| Judge Horton is suffering from ma
| lignant disease of the liver and medical
men agree that his death is only a
! question of a short time. He has never
] lost consciousness and appears never to
have lost hope that he recover his
| health. He does not talk about his con-
dition but his brain is just as active as
| ever.

TAKEN FROM JAIL.
Peter Power Appears in Court
as q Witness.

New York, Aug. 21.-Peter Power, who
was named as complainant in a suit
brought to prevent the turning over or
the stock of the Northern Pacific Rail
road company to the Northern Securi-
ties company, was taken from Ludlow
street jail today to appear before Spe-
cial Examiner Mabie, who is taking tes-
timony in the proceeding. Power was
not the first witness called, his attorney,
George Alfred Lamb, being called first
to testify. Mr. Lamb was accompanied
by Former Judge J. Rider Cady, who
is his attorney. w. D. Guthrie of coun-
sci for the Northern Securities company
objected to several Interruptions made
by Judge Cady, but the special examin-
er ruled that the Judge might appear
for Mr.. Lamb while the latter was a
witness.
Mr. Cuthrie's first questions to Mr.
Lamb referred to his re1a tions with the
United States Circuit Court. Mr.. Lamb
said he was admitted to practice in the
particular case OF the United States
court in Minnesota by courtesy Of the

court. He said he believed Judge Lam
caster obtained the privilege for hin.
Lamb said his firm of Lamb & Guern-
sey were attorneys of record in the
Power and in the Rouden suits.
Mr.. Lamb said he made a rough draft
of the complaint in the Power suit on
a railway train. He promised to pro-
duce a copy of the draft later.
AT the previous examination under
stood you to say you represented in
fiuential parties Mr.. Guthrie said. " ou
then declined to give the names. VIII
you give them now ?" ~
Il WILL" replied the witness. AT my
previous examination l understood
those people who had certainly expend-
ed large sums of money on this htiga-
ton, We're my clients. If their state
ments to the contrary are correct that
relationship does not exist. The per-
sons I believed I represented were Ca
mile Weidenfeld. the firm of Thomas &
Post, or rather Mr. Thomas of that firm.

You told US Mr.. Cochran would make
an important Witness said Mr. Guth-
rio.
Il am quite convinced that Mr. Cock
ran knew all about these matters and
was financially interested. He was
present, at the conference in Mr.. Weld
enfeld's Office and l know Mr.. Weiden-
field would take no steps without Mr..
Cockran's knowledge and approval"

WARE ARRANGES IT.
Veterans Will Be Given ReceD.
tiOn at Pension Office.

A dispatch from Washington says
that Eugene F. Ware, pension commits
sioner, has arranged for a reception at
the pension Office for the old soldiers
during the G. A. r. encamDn ent in
October.
Commissioner Wares letter to the
committee follows:
THE idea of holding a reception at
the pension bureau on some day of the
encampment is without doubt a good
feature, because there will be a very
large number of pensioners here, and
they will all want to come to the bu-
reau, and it will probably please them
to have some hour or part of day set
for that purpose. am also cOnten-
plating the printing of some souvenir
cards, being cards upon which proposed
pensioners can ask their status These
are to be filled out and returned as
soon as possible after the encampment.
II will make large detail of clerks
to attend to the wants of the soldiers
in that regard, so that it can be done
in such shape as will be pleasant to ah.
LAS you are in charge. I respectfully
submit to you the situation and 1 will
be pleased to have you set such time
for the reception as in your judgment
would be most convenient and pleasant
for those who will come"

Governor Stanley and Chester L.
Long Must Soon Break.
Their Candidacy Can No Longer
Be Harmonious.
ONLY THREE DISTRICTS
The Battle Ground Is in Third ,
Fourth and Sixth.
Candidates Appear to Be On
Even Footing.

The senatorial fight changes with the
wind. The politicians now have it that
Congressman Chester 1. Long and Gov
ernor w. E. Stanley can no longer be
perfectly harmonious in the struggle.
That politically, at least. they must
fight each other to the finish.
Long has been making greater inroads
in the Seventh district than Stanley
managers expected. Stanley's strength
is about shown or he must contest ev-
cry vote in the Seventh with Long. In
the fight for representative votes Long
certainly seems to have the best of 1t,
although the shifty politicians may
handicap him at any moment. with
Long and Stanley from the Seventh
and fighting for supremacy there, Con-
gresham Charles Curtis with the First
district well corralled, Congressman w.
the Fifth and Congressman j. ID. Bow
ersock tying up the votes in the Second,
the open battle ground left for all IS
the Third, Fourth and Sixth districts.
While Calderhead and Bowersock are
not looked upon as even strong poSSl-
bilities, yet the tide might swing to
Bowersock should certain complications
arise. BoWersock is friendly to Curtis
and should Curtis have to send ms
strength somewhere else 1T is more tnan
likely that he would send what he could
to Bowersock as Curtis feels anything
but friendly to Long. If Rowersock
could not be the means of victory II
seems probable that Curtis might swing
his forces to Stanley for if Stanley, who
lives in the Seventh, was elected that
would bottle up Long for six years
and at the end of that time he and Stan
ley could fight it out in the district
again. On the other hand Long might
prefer to throw his strength to some
other than Stanley for the same reason
that Stanley lives in the Seventh, Long s
home district. While Long is not looked
upon as particularly friendly to Curtis
still he might go to Curtis rather than
Stanley if it lay between the two One
Copeland county politician who keeps
an eye on the ton, says that up to
date Stanley has Representative votes,
Curtis %, Long a. Calderhead 6, Bower
sock and the doubtful column 5. He
places 81 votes as follows:

FUNERAL OF SHARP.
It Required ~ Men to Carry
the Floral offerings.

Lansford Pa, Aug. 21-The funeral
of Patrick Sharp, the strike leader, who
was shot and killed at Nesquehoning on
Monday night, took place here today
and probably was the largest ever wit
messed in the coal regions Over 5000
persons, among them 1000 women, par
ticipated in the two-mile march to ST.
Josephs church at Summit Hill where
services were held and afterward fol-
lowed the remains to the Catholic ceme-
terry. 1t took "a men to carry the floral
offerings. The procession was led by
the miners union band of which Sharp
was manager.
Lansford and Summit Hill were
crowded with strangers but no disturb
ance occurred. Each mine local appoint
ed a committee of ten men to assist in
maintaining order. The soldiers did not
leave camp.

ton. found the abdomen contracted,
the skin dried and the tissues of the
pelvis destroyed by absorption. I found
bullet hole one-fourth of an inch in
diameter in the center of the back OF
the head, in the center of the occipital
bone. On opening the skull found the
brain totally destroyed, the skull empty.
found small f1attened bullet lying at
the base, the vertebrae of the back pro-
truding and the tissues destroyed.
In my opinion the said unknown
woman came to her death from a bullet
wound in the head
DR.. Springer declared that it was his
opinion that death must have occurred
from nine to twelve weeks preceding
the finding of the body, in order to al
low the disintegration of the body as it
was found. He declared that QuickIime
had not been used.
The early testimony today pertained
largely to the finding of the body of
Mrs. Bartholin by newspaper men. Re-
porters who searched the basement of
the Calumet avenue house, told again
the story of digging up of the body, of
calling in DR.. Noel to establish its iden-
tity and of the LATER Identification by
acquaintance of Mrs. Bartholin. Some
interest was aroused when the inquest
was temporarily suspended in order
that the Mitchell family might produce
a witness. The police did not know
who the witness would be.
A new clew or the possible solution of
the Minnie Mitchell case was found to-
day when it was learned that man re-
sembling Counselman had called upon
DR.. J. L. Wilgus on August IL with a
young woman, supposed to be Minnie
Mitchell. DR.. Wilgus says the man
wanted him to take the young woman
as a patient but that he refused. This
story, together with that told yesterday
that the girl was in hospital lends
further color to the theory that the girl
may be alive.
ANOTHER DEAD GIRL FOUND.
Chicago, Aug. 21.-This morning the
body of a girl was found on the beach
in Rodgers park, the northern limits of
the city. 1t was first supposed to be
that of Minnie Mitchell, but the descrip-
ton does not tally with that of the

Ed Howe of the Atchison Globe, who
usually doesn't take much interest in
politics. says of Congressman Long:
Kansas people admire Congressman
Long. He has attracted attention in
Washington; he has become a national
figure and has not had much booming
from local postoffice organs. The editor
of the Globe has long admired Mr.
Long. but met him for the first time
yesterday at Fort LeaVenwOrth. Mr.
Long is a man of delightful personality,
and has a sn lie and a handshake that
make friends. He is a tall man, good
looking and an excellent public speaker.
We heard him make a speech at the
Soldiers Home yesterday afternoon, and
we believe it was the first political
speech we ever heard from start to fin
ish. The Home theater was crowded
with veterans and Long wrought them
up to the point of enthusiasm. There
