dynamite III an excavation for the new Alt
man building. Fragments of the bodies OF
the dead were scattered over an area OF
hundreds Of feet, and 1t was hours before
the exact number Of victims of the accident
could be determined. The explosion was
caused by workman unintentionaily strlk-
ing heavy charge of dynamite which had
been placed in a drill hole in ledge of rock

ton of three men who had stood almost d.
rectly over the hole, and when the smoke
cleared away seven others who had been
within range of the concussfon were
stretched out on the ground, their faces and
bodies torn and scared The sound of the
explosion brought guests hurrying from the
Waldorf Astoria Hotel. almost directly
across the street from the scene of the dis
aster and from many similar places in the
vicinity.
For a time there was wild excitement In
the neighborhood. Portions of the body OF
an Italian was found in East 94th street,
nearly 250 feet from the point where the
dynamite exploded, and another body was
found on top of tool house more than IuO
feet away. Fragments of the third body

Mrs. Fiske, Actress, Hired Hall in Salt

Fiske, who was barred from a profession

her inability to secure any of the local
theaters, hired a public hall and last night
delivered an address on what she termed
the theatrical trust and its effect on salt
Lake. Mrs. Ffske and her company of
players arrived here today. In opening her
address to the large audience Mrs. Fiske
II am happy to say that the theatrical
trust, which excludes my company from
your play houses. is not sufficiently pow
erful to prevent US from stopping IN your
city on our way to the Pacific coast. Nor
can it rob me of this privilege in address
Mrs Fislze said she was sure the local
managers would be glad to open the doors
of their theaters to her company If they

said there were theaters open to indepen-

had endeavored to block the way to Cali

so that it would be Impossible for an ii, in
dependent actor to fill tour from Chi

said, made it impossible for an indepen-

the expense entailed by the journey of q
large dramatic company direct from Chi

A CROWN OF GLORY
As Well as a Mark OF Beauty Is Luz
uFiouS Hair.

It has been truly said that the GROWING
glory Of our race is a luxuriant head of
hair.
It used to be thought that this was one
of the blessings which the gods bestow
capriciously, and it is only recently that
scientists have discovered that its beauty
is dependent upon the absence of a min
ute germ which hourishes in the hair fol-
licles, where it destroys the life of the
hair.
To restore this life and kill the germs
which cause the mischief is the mission of
Newbro's HerDicide.
Herpicide surely kills the germs and is
the best hair dressing on the market. It
contains no grease or oil, neither will it
stain or dye.
