POWDER MAGAZINES EXPLODE
Lives Lost And Human Forms Mutilated,
by a Careless Act.

Lowell, Mass, July 31.-Two small
gunpowder magazines situated among
residences of fifty mill operatives ex-
plodcd and killed more than a score of
people and injured nearly fifty others.
Six men who were loading kegs of
powder from one of the magazines
were blown to pieces; four boys zoo
yards away were killed and fourteen
frame houses went down. Seven of
these houses caught fire, probably
from the kitchen stoves, and were con-
sumcd. Seventy buildings were de-
stroyed, and windows were brolleu five
or six miles away. The cause of the
explosion is known. A can of nitro
glyccrine was leaking and man
poured nitric acid upon the glycerine,
thinking that he was using water,

1t Two Kansas Regiments Can Not
go toFt. Riley a State Encamp-
ment Will be Held.
WILL FORM A PRIZE REGIMENT
This Would Cost The Government Once
And II Balf as Much as Two
Regiments.

Fort Riley, Kas., Aug 3.-The ques
lion of whether but one or both regi
ments of the National Guard in Kansas
shall be sent to Fort Riley to partlc
pate in the fall maneuvers has beer
checked m to Major General Bates
commanding the department of Mis-
souri, by the war department.

Kelsey, the state military board is in
different as to General Bates decision

FIGURES ON COST TO GOVERNMENT

is entitled to call on the government
for funds necessary for yearly state
cncampment of all its troops. This is
outside of the funds required to pay
the cost of sending troops to the
mancuvers at Fort Riley.
1t had been decided not to hold a
state cncampment in Kansas this year
for the reason it was thought the men
would derive more benefit from actual
practice in the field in conjunction
with the regulars. If it is not possible
to send all the state troops to Fort
Riley, state encampment may be
held and prizes offered for the best
drilled companies. A full regiment
may be made up of the prize winners
and sent to Fort Riley to participate
in the maneuvers.
1t was announced at the beginning
that the reason but one regiment OF
militia would be sent to Fort Riley
from each state was because the funds
were not overplentiful. If state en-
campmcnt is held and Il provisional
regiment is formed to be sent TO Fort
Riley the cost to the government Will
be at least one-half greater than If the
entire body of the Kansas National
Guard had been allowed to attend the
maneuvers.

What Was 1t?

Friarpolnt, Miss, Aug. 3rd.-One of
the strangest cases ever reported oc
cured here recently. The son of Mr..
G. l.. Butler was very i'll. The doc
tor said he had some disease of the
spinal cord, and treated him for two
months, but he grew worse all the
time and finally the doctor told Mr..
Butler that he did not know what
Yas the trouble.
The boy would wake up in the night
and say that he was dying He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out Of the house, saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much discour-
aged till one day he saw new rem
edy called Dodd's Kidney Pills adver-
tised. and he at once bought some
and began to give them to his boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be-
fore he was entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since Mr.. Butler
says:
Il feel it my duty to tell what
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs is fair
chance and it will speak for itself"

but she generally looks under the bed

TO THE PUBLIC.

The weekly issue of tn" "FREIE

co, in the Indian Territory, and
