The Show.

The National Stock company
played Cast Adrift and Ole Olson
to good houses last Friday and
Saturday evenings. The compa-
ny was particularly unfortunate
during the last week, but did the
best it could. One of the actors
fell from a ladder at Hibbing,
breaking several ribs, and the
leading lady was taken sick here
Friday evening, aud the troupe
was pretty well disorganized.

FLAME OF CANDLE CAME m con-
TACT WITH GAS EScAPING
FROM LEAK IN PIPE!
TILE FLOOR AND CEILING OF ROOM
ON FIFTH STORY DAMAGED TO
AMOUNT OF $500 OR MORE.
MiraculOusly Burt Willet, the Plumber,
Who Was Hunting the Leak, Es-
capped Injury. Explosion caus-
ed Alarm Among Iaborers.


The Waldo hotel was the scene Of
gas explosion Thursday of considerable
proportions, but the damage might have
been far greater and there might also
have been injury to persons.
The explosion occurred at 10 o'clock in
a room on the fifth floor of the building
damaging that room greatly.
For two or thrce days there had been
"a gas leak in the building, but tllere
was difficulty in locating it. A thor
ough search was iraugurated, and plumb.
ers were busy trying to find it. Among
those who were engaged in this work
was Burt Willet, employed with tho
West Virginia Heating & Plumbing com
pany, (which lias the contract for the
plumbing Of the hotel building. He car
ried candle, which was lit. In the
search he accidentally ran across the
leak, although he did not know that he
had done so until the explosion occurred.
The pipe bmsted and the gas flames
shot up into the atmosphere in the
building in the twinlding Of an eye.
There was crash and alarm became
general among those in that section of
the building. The tile floor was torn
UP and the ceiling fell with a crash.
1t is estimated that the damage done
by the explosion will amount to at least
$500.
Luckily for young Willet, he escaped
without even a burn, and was not in
iured beyond receiving severe shock,
when the explosion occurred.

through the courts, it is proposed to
extend as rapidly as possible to Wa
mego, building section by bonded aid
of townships through which it pass, by
private subscription, and by mortgag-
ing the property already constructed.
Westmoreland is almost off the map
as she is now situated, so far as out
side communication by railway is con-
cerned, and her moneyed men see the
necessity of connecting with the main
line of the Union Pacific railway at
Wamego or some other point
The road may eventually be made a
part of the newly-prOposeG Topeka Man
haitian electric line, which is to parallel
the Union Pacific railway west from To-
peka and for which the promoters are
now trying to get a foothold in the streets
of Topeka by ordinance. This company
proposes to use county roads wherever it
can, but It will be as direct a line as is
possible to build. At Wamego it is pro-
posed to build a power plant-perhaps a
dam in the river-Iight the city and build
branch up Rock creek via Louisville
and Myers Valley to Westmoreland, the
county seat
There is one thing certain: Westmore-
land proposes to have railway connection
with the Union Pacific or the Rock Island
or the Missouri Pacific if she has to build
the line with her own money, plenty of
which she seems to have boarded up.
