THREE WIDOWS AT FUNERAL.
All Claim to Be the Lawful Wife of
Deceased Des Moines Contractor.

All Claim to Be the Lawful Wife of
Deceased Des Moines Contractor.
Des Moines, May 23.-When the re-
mains of the late E. l.. Dubois, con-
tractor of this city, were carried to
the cemetery they were followed by
three women who claim to be his law
full widow. One came from Denver,
Colo, gives the name of Mary E. Du-
bois and claims that she was mar
ried to tho dead man in 1880 in Jop-
lin, Mo-, and that she has three chill
dren by him.
The second Mrs. Dubois came from
New Orleans. She refused to talk of
her claims. The third woman was
married to Dubois at West Union, Ia.
and has lived here with him for some
years. There were no scenes at the
funeral, the women pledging friends
of the dead man not to make a dis
turbance and they passed themselves
off as relatives. Dubois was sue
cessful as contractor and left con.
siderable estate. An effort is being
made to effect a settlement among
the rival claimants for his property.

now at his parental home in Kimball-
ton. We understand he will locate

make valuable acquisition to the
society of Kimballton.
Jerry Miller and son, Ernest, ex-
pected to start Monday tor St. Louis
to see the worlds fair and then 90 on
to Princeton, kentucky where Jerry
would meet a sister from the west,
and visit sister there. Mrs. Miller
was taken with the humps Monday,
however, and they had to postpone
the trip.
The Elkhorn Implement Co. now
have their store at Roerbeck fully
stocked and doing good business.
They find business opening good and
the farmers of the community seem
to appreciate not having to go SO far
to get good implements, wagons and
buggies and give promise OF giving it
permanent patronage.
Anton and Caroline Christensen,
children of Chris Christensen of near
Kimballton, will be students this tall
in the Grand View college in Des
Moines. These young people are
taking the proper course in life in
getting all the education they can.
They are fitting themselves for bet
ter and higher life.
In the ball game Sunday between
Elkhorn and Brayton was a walk
away for Brayton. 1t looked as it
Elkhorn would need to get out and
practice if they wanted to stay in the
game. Their best men, however,
were not present so that might &C.
count for the loss of scores. The score
stood 10 to 2 in favor of Brayton.
The Ice cream social given by the
young ladies of the Elkhorn church
on the college lawn was a success in
every particular. The good people
of the community turned out and
patronized it. The choir helped them
by rendering several choice selections
and their pastor made short address
to them. All present enjoyed the en-
tertainment given them.

Mcdonald Case Nearing End.

Bedford, Ind, May 23.-The prose
cution in the trial of James Mcdonald,
for the murder of Miss Sarah Shafer,
stated that it would complete it's case
today. The defense has not stated
positively that it would introduce the
prisoner as witness, but it is be-
lieved by those who have followed
the proceedings closely that Melon
aid will take the stand in his own be-
half. The greatest interest centers
upon his testimony. 1t is noticeable
that the sentiment of the people of
Bedford for or against the prisoner is
about equally divided.

I DIE IN EXPLOSION
MANY OTHERS INJURED IN Nov
ELTY WORKS AT FlNDLAY.
Plant Covered Nearly Ten Acres Of
Ground and Was Completely Shat
tered-Bodies of Victims Scattered
for Considerable Distance.

| Findlay, o., May 23-As result of
an explosion in the two drying rooms
of the Lake Shore Novelty company's
plant here seven persons are known
to be dead, five are so seriously hurt
that recovery is believed to be impos-
sible and twelve or fifteen injured
badly. From reports of physicians,
ten of the less seriously injured may
die as result of blood poisoning
from the potash that was driven into
their bodies.
The dead: Joseph Sherwood, Jay
Sherwood, Edith Dillon, Dean Shaw,
Mary Snyder, Estella Decker and
Frank Grant.
The injured who it is believed can
not recover are: Maggie Logan, in
jured by flying debris; Thomas Book,
struck in the back by flying barrel,
arms and legs broken; Claude Shaw,
back severely injured and ankle
broken; Effie Peterman and her
brother, Roy, caught in falling debris
and internally injured.
The less seriously injured: Carrie
Peterman, breast and lungs crushed,
head and eyes powder burned; May
Leavis, who worked beside her, sim
ilarly hurt; Louis Weingartner, hip
fractured; Minnie Doll, burned; Mrs.
Doll, cut and burned; Minnie Quinlan,
cut and bruised.
Two employees are missing and are
supposed to have been blown to atoms.
The Lake Shore Novelty works
plant covered nearly ten acres Of
ground in the southwest part of the
city and employed nearly 200 men,
women and children. Railroad tor
pedoes and Fourth of July explosives
were manufactured
The residents of Findlay were
startled by two explosions that shat
tered windows throughout the city.
The conclusion was felt for miles
around. Two magazines in separate
rooms at the novelty works let go
simultaneously with terrible reports.
The exact cause of the explosion is
not definitely known. 1t is surmised
that one of the Sherwood brothers,
who were the only persons in the dry
ing rooms, dropped large box of tor
pedoes.
The explosion occurred shortly be-
fore the employees assembled for duty.
Scores of persons were on their way
to the factory when the explosion &C.
cured.
Human forms were strewn consid-
cradle distances apart on the factory
site. The remains of the Sherwood
brothers were found in drying room
No. 1, mangled and almost unrecog-
nizable. Their clothing was blown
from their bodies. The body of Edith
Dillon was picked UP 200 yards from
the scene where the explosion oc-
Cured. The large plant is shattered
into fragments, not one single wall
remaining. Bricks and timber can
be found for half mile around.
The property loss is 100000. The
plant, it is said, will not be rebuilt.
Three bodies were found at distance
of 800 feet from the scene of the ex-
plosion.

died on his plantation near that place
on Dec. 8, 1892. His will, which he
had requested them to open and read
the next day after his death, was sup
plemented with the following: II sol
EMMY enjoin it upon my son, as an in
dispensable duty, that, as soon as he
conveniently can after my decease, he
cause my body to be wrapped II
twelve yards of towcloth and burned
until it be entirely consumed" The
request was carried out to the letter
and was the beginning of cremation in
America.
