WHISKY A FOOT DEEP.
Second Largest DistiIIery in the World
Destroyed by Fire.

Peoria, Ill, June 6.-An explosion
at 1920 O'Clock Saturday afternoon in
the eleven story warehouse of the
Corning distilIery, the second largest
in the world. completely wrecked the
building. The ruins Immediately took
fire and three adjoining buildings also
burned Ten men were buried be-
meath the ruins and burned Six 9TH
ers were dangerously injured. The
loss on buildings and whisky and
spirits stored will approximate one
million dollars. The fire spread to the
stock yards district, where a dozen
large cattle barns, filed with cattle
for market, burned.
Two other explosions followed the
first in rapid succession. The burst
ing barrels flooded everything in that
section Streams of whisky ran to-
ward the river and in a short time
there was a foot of liquor in the cattle
pens east of the warehouse. It was
burning furiously and the cries of the
5000 steers, chained fast, were pitt
able. Their distress lasted only a few
moments, however, for they were soon
dead, either roasted or suffOcated by
the deadly fumes
The two fermenting houses were
speedily afire. They were large struc-
lures Both of them were destroyed.
The flames threatened the mill and
elevator just across the track, where
the costly machinery is installed. The
hremen made a winning fight here a
Elmer Hogan was at work in the
warehouse when the collapse came.
He was washed out through a break
in the building by the big stream Of
whisky and carried toward the river,
a distance of nearly seventy-hVe feet,
before he lodged against a fence from
which he managed to escape before
the fire overlook him. He was so
badly injured that he cannot recover.
Frederick Knoll and William Finlay,
who had charge of the men employed
in this department, had just left the
building when the explosion and col
lapse came. Knoll was thrown to the
earth and almost instantly the place
where he had been was enveloped in
flames.
Warehouse B, where the explosion
that did the damage occurred, was an
eleven story frame structure, covered
with corrugated iron. 1t was more
than 100 by 200 feet and at the time
of the fire contained about zoe bar
rels of spirits. Warehouse A, con-
tanning the cistern room, was a three
story brick building, 100 by 200 feet.
It contained about $4,000 gallons of
spirits. In the two fermenting rooms,
which were 100 by $50 feet, were
eighteen tubs with a capacity of 1000
bushels of mash cache They were all
filled and contained about 5000 gal
Ions of spirits each. All this burned.

FEDERATION WILL INVESTIGATE
A Committee Appointed to Help Run
Down the Murderers.

Denver, Colo, June 6.-The Western
Federation of Miners will investigate
the dynamite outrage at Cripple Creek.
At the session of the federation's con-
vention today a committee consisting
of Q C. Mitchell of South Dakota, c.
MahOney of Montana and Harry L.
Lane of Nevada was appointed to go to
the Cripple Creek district and make a
fair and to spare no one in its report.
The committee, which was sent to Grip
pie Greek last week to report on con-
ditions there. reported to the conven-
ton today. The report says that the
mine owners admit that they are not
getting anything like the returns they
did before the strike.
The committee found a great many
men were employed, almost as many
as before the strike on some proper
ties, but the returns were not nearly
so large proportionately. The miners
are determined to stand firm, and the
committee could suggest no change in
the policy which had been pursued.
The secretary of the Mine Owners as
sociation had made the claim that if
the matter had been put to a refer
endum vote of the local unions there
would have been no strike But the
committee found that the local unions
had considered the strike and re-
ferred the matter to the district
union, which had advised the calling
out of the men.
BY unanimous vote Salt Lake was
chosen for the place of the next con-
vention to be held, beginning the
fourth Monday in May, 1906. Denver
was selected as the permanent head
quarters of the federation.

At NeOdesha.
This city is again visited with the
most destructive flood in its history.
Both rivers here have left their banks
fields nearby, while other leases are
impossible to be reached by the drill
ers from this place. All the wheat
fields between the two rivers south of
town are completely under water.
Saturday night the rivers seemed to
be at a standstill but additional rains
have caused a second flood and trans
formed them into raging streams. A
dozen families or more have been
compelled to leave the bottoms and in
some cases where they remained too
long rescuing parties were sent out to
save the unfortunate families.
All stock were taken from the food
ed districts to the highlands and thus
far no damage has b&ep lone in that
line Sunday was the first time any
mail has reached this town from the
west since last Friday, the Frisco
train being waterbound at Severy ever
since that time. The east bound
trains were all held at this place and
doubled back to CherryvaIe but a
WashOut one mile east of here will
discontinue this service for a time.
1t is conceded by all the older citizens
who have seen the rivers at their diff
ferent high water marks in years past
that this flood is equal to that of 1895
which is the highest known.
Both Fall and Verdigris rivers have
united south of town, making one gilt
tering sheet of water two miles wide.

Cincinnati Players Great Work.

Cincinnati, June 6.-Si Seymour
still continues to climb through the
grace of his trusty bat. and is now the
gightful batting leader among the
Reds. In fielding also Seymour leads
the local outfelders, having made but
one misplay in Is games Notwith-
standing the fact that the Saturday
game was drawn battle the work of
the players is given due credit in the
official figures. Jack Harper's record
is still a clean one for the present sea-
son. Harper also leads in the matter
of strike outs and is close on SUIT
hOff's heels for the honor of giving
the most bases on balls. The control
of Frank Hahn during the last four
games he has pitched has been re-
markable. Only one player has reach
ed first base through a gift in four
battles The last three games pitched
by Hahn has been without a base on
balls The great southpaw has not
made a wild pitch or hit a batsman
since the present season opened.

LIKE MRS. NATION.
Mrs. AIcHenry Arrested in a Saloon at
Independence.

Independence, Kas.. June e.--Be-
cause she was the loadstone which
drew a large crowd into a West Main
street saloon, Mrs. McHenry, disciple
Of Carrie Nation, was dragged off to
the city prison by Chief Morgan. Mrs.
McHenry's avowed purpose in visiting
Independence is to stir up trouble
among the joint keepers. She made a
long harangue the first day she ar
rived, and the following day she went
into a saloon and ordered a glass of
the best brandy. OF course she was
refused the bartender asserting that
there was no such thing in the house.
Then she stated she would return
shortly and hold prayer meeting in
the saloon. During the forenoon she
repeatedly said she did not know what
she would do in the furtherance of
her aim, but would move when she
felt like it. Finally she calmly walked
into one of the three saloons grouped
on Main street just west of Penn
avenue, and in a moment the word
was passed and a crowd commenced
to a table and sat down, defying any
of those present to eject her. She
evidently knew her rights and no one
had the hardwood to brave her sharp
tongue and the chance of prosecution
by attempting to put her out. The at
tention of the officers was attra cted
by the crowd and the chief appeared
in a few minutes and ordered her to
leave the saloon. He led her to the
door. but she returned and he arrest
ed her.
Mrs. McHenry has been arrested
nine times before, according to her
own statements. She took the oppor-
tunity to notify everyone along the
street just why she was so honored.
She made invtdious comparisons be-
tween her captor and sundry animals
and objects with which she seemed
tolerably familiar, and loudly and
continuously affirmed that the officer
looked to her like a horsethief. Their
march to the prison was a triumphaI
procession which, in her tempestuous
way of considering it, was great vic
tory for her and her cause.
In the evening when she was re-
leased she made the officers of the Jail
another speech about the sins of this
world and Independence in particular,
and succeeded in getting considerab l e
money from sympathizers, which she
proudly displayed.

has been adopted is the one regarding the

Mr. Johnson does not consider the four

also the North Topeka district.

also an aerial ladder be obtained, with 10
