A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

- GhHlTlS ENTEOolOlN.s
An Oil Well Shooter was torn to
Pieces by an Explosion of Nitro
Glycerine.
Findlay, o. Sept. 13.-George Cisco,
of this city, was instantly killed as the
result of premature explosion of a
20-quart can of nitro-glycerine in an
oil well on the c. l.. Watson farm, five
miles east of this city. Rastus Levan
and w. e. Breckenridge were stand
ing in the engine house at the time
and were slightly injured by flying de-
bris.
20-quart can with the firing head
had been lowered about 20 feet, when
without a moments warning it let go
with deadly effect. Cisco was thrown
against the nitro -glycerine wagon
that was standing close to the derrick,
filed with cans simultaneously
the cans in the wagon let go. Cisco
was hurled backwards into a hole 40
feet in diameter that had been plowed
into the earth by the force of the ex-
bosion. The derrick and part of the
engine house was demolished.
The body of Cisco was horribly
mangled. Both arms and one leg were
blown off, the arms being found in
the debris in the engine house. The
leg was found 20 feet distant. His
head was blown off. The cause of the
affair was probably due to the strik-
ing of the firing head as it was being
lowered into the well. This makes
the third disastrous explosion inside
of month within radius of 20 miles
| of this city.

tilted slightly to one side. 1t had no
trimming beyond an enormous bandeau

is the sort of toque that was worn Is
years ago with veil reaching only just
below the nose. 1t is distinct novelty
now, however, though doubt if it finds
favor.

through the coming season.
The dropping shoulder effects and
sweeping outlines are too attractive to
be discarded altogether for modes which
are not so graceful. In fact, it is most
difficult to prophesy correctly as to what
special period will be adopted for the
coming styles. With the contradictory
information received from all sides it is
impossible to arrive at any satisfactory
conclusion.
If one were to judge from the extraor-
dinary models which are daily created
and held up for our admiration as being
exact reproductions of the different
periods, it would be necessary to possess
an exceptional knowledge in that line
to be able to recognize them. In one
gown seen recently there were at least
three distinctive styles combined, but
as the dress was within the limits of
good taste. and becoming besides, it
mattered little what period it belonged
to.

RINK CURIO SHOP
sixteenth Street Building is Stocked
With Goods of Every Couceiv-
able Description
FOR THE RUMMAGE SALE
Which IS to Open Tomorrow Afternoon
For the Benefit of the 6Sthany
Home.

The rain yesterday morning appar-
emily played havoc with the plans of
the rummage committee, whose sale
at the old rink building begins tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock and con-
tinues afternoon and evening Friday
and Saturday.
But in the afternoon the force of
collectors was doubled and the work
was entered into with such spirit, and
the public. always considerate when
its interest and sympathy are aroused,
was so helpful and fOrbearant that by
evening the rink was well stocked
with goods of every conceivable vari-
ETY., from Il hairpin TO a sausage stuff
fer In fact. although the collection is
not half made. the department man
ayers are demanding more room and
some of the departments will have to
be rearranged to afford proper facili-
ties to handle the goods.
Little Trash In Sent In.
The quality of the goods is much
above the average and there seem to
be very few trashy articles sent in.
The clothing and millinery is especi-
ally good and in abundant supply. I'm
derclothing partly worn can be used to
advantage 1t is always serviceable
and in great demand. ChildrenS cloth
ing. while in fair supply. is particular
ly desired. Carpets, mating, lace cur
tains, rugs and portiers sell well and
arc in very limited supply.
CrOCkery. plates, cups and saucerS,
even if nicked or cracked. are
especially requested. This department
is one of the most popular at the sale.
and with all the numerous appeals
made in The Argus, it is never well
supplied. Donors are urged to send
anything in this line that is discarded
by them. Teapots minus noses. cups
or saucers without their mates, jardin-
iers little worse for the wear. and. in
fact, anything that goes under the
title of crockery can be used.
VIII BE Ready Tomorrow.
Chaos reigned at the rink yesterday
afternoon. The managers in charge
were simply swamped with goods. BY
quitting time at night order began TO
be evolved out of the conglomerate
mass of rummage. and today things
are taking shape and by the opening
everything will be in readiness.

Part of County-Properties
Known for Years.

Attention of the officers of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass company is turned to
a deposit of sand that is found on
the old NJ. l.. T Sturgeon farm south
west of AndaluSia, in Edgington town
ship. Several visits of representatives
of the company have been made to
the farm and samples of the sand have
been secured to ascertain whether it
can be profitably used in the manufac-
ture of the products of the concern.
The sand has been used in the glass
making business at different times in
the past. Formerly there was a glass
factory at Buffalo, which used it. and
the Rock Island plant years ago Sc
cured part of it's raw material from
the same source. 1t is almost pure
white in color, very fine and is present
in almost unlimited quantities.
Transportation Problem.
II the PittSburg company finds it can
use the sand, transporting it inQuantity
will be found something of a task.
Property owners in the lower end OF
the county are looking forward to the
time when that district will be ira
versed by an interurban. Then this
peculiar sand, a first class quality of
pottery clay that is found not far away
and the undeveloped coal fields will
undoubtedly become a source of profit
and furnish work for many men.

Miss Martha Huesing Assigned to Miss
Bowman's Position.

The board of education held its Sep.

of interest outside routine matters was
transacted.

grand total of S,249. The increase
in the enrolment over last year is AZ
which is entirely in the high school.
This is due to the fact that an unusual
ly large class was graduated from the
grammar department and a larger
proportion than usual have entered
the high school.
The committee on teachers reported
the resignation of Miss Bertha Bow
man from the Lincoln building, and
Miss Elsa Koehler from the Haw-
thorne building. These vacancies have
been filled by the assignment of Miss
Josephine Whistler to the Lincoln

mittee on janitors reported that Jani-
tor Guy Hodson. of the Kemble school.
had resigned and that the vacancy had
been filled by the appointment of
Henry Goedecke. On recommends
ton of Principal Brown the board au-
thorized the use of Vests Medieval

NOT AFRAID OF JEFFRIES
Ralph Rose, Aged 10, Believes He Will
be Able to Defeat Champion.

be Able to Defeat Champion.
Champion James J. Jeffries need
nor fear that he will never find an
| other opponent to meet him in the ring
| if he is willing to wait and recognize
the aspirations of young Ralph Rose
Of the University of Michigan.
The giant athlete of the Ann Arbor
school. whose home is in California,
and who has broken several practice
records in the various field events.
and who is now seeking honors on the
gridiron. believes he is the next man
to fight JeffrieS. He does not seek a
battle in the near future, but thinks
the champion will wait inasmuch as
he can get no one at present TO face
him. With friends Rose has recently
discussed his chances in the ring with
the champion fighter and firmly be-
lieves he could surprise everybody.
Said he: 81 have boxed with Jeff
ries at various times at his training
quarters. and. of course, found him
much my superior under those condi-
| tons. | have had quite big of exper-
fence in the ring. but not enough as
yet to hold my own with the big fel.
low. One day Jeffries hit me so hard
was dazed for several days. but this
would not be the case after | had fol-
lowed a systematic course of training
There is no reason why | should be
afraid of the champion. because I can
hit as hard a blow as he can and am
fully as fast on my feet. With the
proper instruction in the scientific
points of the game l could probably
whip him.
81 do not think of leaving college
now, but all my training in football
and on the track is to better develop
me me for the time when | may go in
for boxing. l may never become a
professional boxer. inasmuch as my
father is much opposed to my taking
such action. However. | shall contin-
lie to practice with the gloves when
ever | can get any of the college boys
to stand up with me. When | leave
school, if Jeffries is still champion.
will be in a position to talk with him.
Besides. | will be at my best then,
while he will be on the decline
Rose engaged in several amateur
boxing contests while he lived on the,
coast. and claims to have boxed with
both Jeffries and Fitzsimmons at their
training camps. That Rose is of
pugnaciOus nature was shown by his
action at the recent carnival in West
Madison street. Chicago. A crowd of
rowdies lined up and refused to let
anybody pass a certain point. when
Rose came along. and. with two COM
panions following in his wake, scat
tered the DULLES
Rose stands 6 feet inches high and
weighs 275 pounds. He is only 10
years old. but is unusually strong. De
spite his great bulk he claims TO have
run 100 yards in 10 2-5. and in the
high jump has cleared 5 feet 10 inches.
