Gas Explosion in Citizens Bank.

An explosion of gas in the heater in the
basement of the Citizens National Bank
last Wednesday caused bad wreck of
the furnace and did considerable dam
age to the building.
During the previous day the gas had
been turned of, and MIR. Bowman, the
cashier, had again turned it on few mo-
merts before and had gone to the base
ment to see that all was right, but found
that the gas was not burning, except a
little in the mixer. lie started to go up
the stairs TO turn of the gas and had got
ten to the third step when the explosion
occurred. Remarkable as it may seem
he escaped without any injury, but the
furnace and all pipes were blown to
shreds. The windows on the south side
of the building were completely demol-
ished, the force of the explosion coming
up through the hot air pipes and the reg
listers on that side OF the building. OH
erwise no damage was done to the inside.

the modus vivendj Placido Castro, the rev.
dictionary leader, offered his services to the
federal authorities and has since acted as
governor Of the district pending the arrival
OF government troops. Nor is there any
hope in official quarters that these insur-
gent troops will be disarmed by the Brazil
ian government as long as President Pando
of Bolivia continues his march toward
Acre.
Bolivia's official explanation of Pando's
continuance Of his march toward Acre
after the agreement upon modus vivendi
Is that he simply desires to establish order
south of 10 degrees 20 minutes latitude
south, the line agreed upon as temporary
boundary. Pando. it is expected will es-
tablish headquarters for his division at
Ribeira Alta. at the junction Of the Benz
and Madre de Dios rivers.
1t is contended by the Rio government
that in consenting to permit Brazil to
pacify the Acre" Bolivia was prompted
by the hope that Brazil might disarm the
liberators of the territory and thus pave
the way for a return of Bolivian sover-
eighty. According to the advices received
at the State Department the Brazilian gov
eminent will not allow Gen. Pando to crush
the Acreans upon his arrival.

BRAZIL CLAIMS ACRE.
Bolivia Contends That the Territory is
Still in Dispute.

Information has reached the State De-
partment from official sources to the effect
that Brazil Is no longer contenting herself
with protest against the establishment of
a foreign syndicate Of great powers on the
headwaters Of the Amazon, but has now
come forward with vigorous claim, back
ed by possession. that the Acre territory
is actually her own. Brazil started out It
is stated, by urging only that the Acre ter
ritory. to which she recently surrendered
all claim. was in litigation. This conren-
ton was embodied in a treaty which was
withdrawn by the Rio government before
ratification. From the date of withdrawal
Brazil has been increasing her claims until
she has now obtained practical recognition
OF 1t by the agreement of Bolivia to the
temporary occupation of the region by Bra
zilian troops pending the final settlement
OF the dispute by negotiation.
OF considerable assistance to Brazil in the
assumption of this advanced position with

TOO MUCH RAIN.
Farm Work in,,the East Has Generally
Been Retarded.

According to the weekly announcement of
the weather bureau, issued today, more
than the average amount of rain has fallen
over the southern portions of the lake
region and portions. of the south Atlantic
states. the total fall for the week in these
district ranging from one to more than two
inches. The rainfall in southern California
was unusually heavy, the coast districts re-
ceiving from one to three inches; 1t was be-
low the average on the north~Pacific coast
generally throughout the Rocky mountain
districts. in the central and west gulf
states, over the northern portion of the up
per lake region, and in northern New Eng
land. In Louisiana, Texas Oklahoma, New
Mexico, and over a large part of Kansas
and Colorado no appreciable amount of rain
fell.
From March to date Uify-one days. the
precipitation is largely in excess of the
average over the northern districts east of
the Missouri valley and also over the
greater part of the middle and south At
lantfc states, double the seasonal amount
having fallen over limited areas in the
lower lake region and southern New Eng
land. A marked excess is also shown over
southern Florida, along the immediate west
gulf coast, over the greater part Of Cali
fornia. portions of New Mexico, Wyoming,
South Dakota and In western Montana.
The seasonal precipitation to date is de-
cidedly below the average over the greater
part of the central and west gulf states
Okla homa, eastern Colorado, western Kan
sas. the greater part of Nebraska, and over
much of the northern plateau and north
Pacific coast regions, less than half the sea-
sonal average having fallen over northern
Louisiana and northwestern Texas. There
is a slight deficiency along the Carolina
coasts.
In the states Of the upper Missouri valley
the week ending April 20 was milder than
usual and generally favorable for farming
opera tons, but elsewhere east of the Rocky
mountains the temperature was much be-
low the average and excessive rains retard-
ed farm work generally throughout the At
lantic coast districts, Ohio valley, and the
southern portion Of the lake region. The
central and west gulf states and portions
of the southeastern Rocky mountain slope
are much in need of rain, no appreciate
amount having fallen over large part Of
these districts for more than two weeks On
the Pacific coast cool weather has retarded
growth, and frosts have caused considerable
Injury in Oregon. Southern California
coast districts have received heavy rains
insuring an abundance Of irrigation water.
Very slow progress has been made with
corn planting throughout the corn belt and
the middle and south Atlantic states, owing
to cold, wet weather, while dry weather has
impaired stands in the central and west
gulf states.

Perishable Goods to Be Sold.

Assistant Secretary Armstrong has called
the attention Of collectors of customs to
the provision Of law which permits them to
sell. after not less than six or more than
ten days notice. unclaimed or abandoned
merchandise which would deteriorate or
become worthless If kept in warehouse for
any considerable length of time. Mr. Arm
strong's recent inquiries on the subject
have developed the fact that 1t has been
the custom Of collectors to keep unclaimed
cigars and tobacco at least year before
offering them for sale, and that at the end
of that period they frequently are found to
have become worm-eaten or musty, and
therefore practically worthless. Hereafter
abandoned cigars and tobacco will be sold
as "perishable" goods within much
shorter time after seizure than heretofore.

MR.. McALLISTER'S CLAIM.
Contends That His System Will Not
Tie Up the Cars.

While discussing the proposed system of
mail collection by means of street cars it
was suggested in The Star yesterday there
might be te-up of the cars resulting
from the ordinarily slow process of dis
charging mail from mail boxes. The in
ventor of the system, Mr.. Geo. B. Meal
lister. says regarding the matter:
1.-THE proposed system provides for the
discharge of the mail either at the post
Office, where the car line runs directly
thereto, or at the nearest or most con-
venient point to the post office, where the
car line connects with a line running to
the post office. The existing force of COL
lectors will, take it, be drawn on for men
to make these mail transfers at the prop
er points, as the larger portion Of the col
lectors will no longer be needed for visit
Ing the existing corner boxes, where the
mail will be lifted by the carriers and
dropped by them into the street car boxes
Now, to take off this mail from a car
the mail transfer agent at the joint of
discharge Will first go forward about one
hundred and fifty feet or so to meet the
advancing car. He will board the front
platform Of the car at this point This In
all cities, can be done without stopping the
car, for in the central section the cars are
compelled to run slowly. Having boarded
the car, the agent will then unlock the box
on the side Of the car, and when the car
has reached the point of mail discharge the
take out the letters (the box door being
then practically OPEN, sharply close the
box the sound of the closing door being a
signal to the motOrman to go on) and the
box will thus be automatically relocked
Supposing the number Of the letters were
fifty or hundred-and, owing to the large
number of the cars and the frequency of
their trips, the letters will average but one
or two-the process described will not con-
sumo more time than a wagon will detain
a car In crossing in front of 1t. In general
the mail transfer station will coincide
with the existing passenger transfer sta
ton, 80 that there will be more than ample
time for the taking off Of a few letters
At all events. this discharge of the mail
cannot possibly consume one-fiftieth part
of the time now frequently consumed in
taking off pouches from the mail distribu-
ton car On the average trip a car will
consume twenty seconds or so in collecting
one or two letters en- route and in having
them taken from the box by the mail
agent. The rapid transit mail system will
be matter of seconds, not minutes

DANGER" SIGNS IGNORED.
People Prone to Believe They Will
Escape Injury.

NOT ENCOURAGING.
Of Women to Inspect In

The commissioner of immigration at New
York has sent to the Treasury Department
a report covering the second thirty days
work OF the female inspectors appointed for
the purpose of boarding incoming vessels
to prevent the landing of persons of i'm

report is similar to that covering the first
thirty days of the female inspectors work

the ENDS sought to be attained cannot be
accomplished successfully by the detailing

APPEAL TO CLUB woMEEN
 FOR GOOD MUSIC.


 Mrs Joseph Hiner, who is chairman of the Illinois Federation Music Commit tee, believes in making music one of the strong features of club work. This can be done, she thinks, by establishing a music study class in every club and la- boring to create desire for good music in the community. Our music Is too ex- elusive" says Mrs. Hiner. Tt is too much of a luxury, when 1t ought to be as universal and free as air and sun light.
 we want also to look after the music in the public schools, and see that the children are given good music, for the children are, after all, the hope of the future. The music in Sunday Schools needs greatly to be improved, and here women can use their influence for good. We need more good concerts at low prices, more good bands. and out-of-door concerts free to all who will come and Msten-in fact, we need so much in this line that 1t Is hard to find a limit
 'Tt seems to me that the work done by the music department of women's clubs has an especial advantage in the field. It has an advantage over strictly musical clubs, because the latter appeal princi- pally to musicians and music students who are safely started on the road to higher cultivation. But in the women's clubs We appeal to that higher contin- gency of listeners, those who love music without any knowledge of its technical side. They make up our audiences, and 1t Is their taste which must be cultivated So long as the audiences demand ragtime the musicians must give 1t to them, or starve. We must create a public desire for the best, and then we shall get it, and only then"
