ACE1YLENE GAS BLEW up
FITCHETTE RESIDENCE WAS PAR
TALLY DEMOLISHED BY Elk
PLOSION.

The explosion of ~acetylene gas
completely wrecked the lower por-
ton of Mrs. John Fitchette's resi-
dence at Lyndale avenue and Mime
haha boulevard, last Saturday evening,
and nearly caused the death of Hinga
Blumegren, a domestic.
The girl was blown thru an open door
into the yard, and altho her injuries
were painful, they are not considered
serious.
The accident occurred shortly before
8 O'Clock, and the lawn about the house
was thronged with guests who were at
tending a party. Luncheon was being
served on the lawn at the time, and to
that is due the fact that SO few were
injured.
While Miss Blumegren was working
floor heave, and she knew no more un-
til she was revived by a physician. The
explosion threw the party into a tur-
MOL and when the guests rushed into
the house to learn of the trouble, they
found the kitchen and first floor a mass
of ruins. The handsome china and sew
eral valuable art collections were com
basement was blown down and the fur
mace demolished.
Investigation of the plant yesterday
by w. S. Gaines, an employee of the
I. E. Burt company, which installed it
two years ago, showed that ,the ex'
plosion was caused by gas leaking from
a defective pipe and not from the plant
itself. Mrs. Fitchette say the leak
must have been between the floors, as
the basement ceiling was torn off. Mr.
Gaines inspected the plant and fount
it intact, with thirty-tive pounds of car
bide in the reservoir. ready to be
started up, so the explosion had no
touched the plant itself. The Burt com
pany did not put in the pipes, but at
taches the blame to careless work by
plumbers.

Madame elCher'S Experience
A SOCIETY LEADERS ESCAPE

In exclusive and aristocratic circles
OF one of Americas leading cities
moved a refined, witty and most anna
bic lady whose society was much sought
after in spite of the fact that every
now and then she was, much to the
annoyance of her associates and greatly
to her modification, obliged to
gulp up a large quantity Of gas that
was constantly accommodating in her
stomach.
Leading physicians on two continents
had failed to relieve her of fatulent
dyspepsia that was so pronounced that
one could not long be in her presence
without being aware of it.
Some one once spoke of her as
MADAM Belcher'' and other inconsid-
crate people repeated the expression.
Reaching the lady's ear it so provoked,
distressed and mortified her that she
thereafter withdrew from society alto
gether.
At last she concluded to try Stuart 3
Dyspepsia Tablets, the advertisements
of which she had often seen in the
papers but had not needed because she
thought them too cheap to amount to
much and not to be compared with a
five dollar prescription from a fashion
able doctor that would cost several dol
lars more to be filled at a fashionable
drug store.
TO her surprise and Joy, she found
that the tablets gave prompt and posi-
tive relief and a few boxes made a per-
feet and permanent cure.
She is no longer "Madam Belcher,''
but has re-entered society and is one
of its most sought-after and admired
representatives.
There are belchers in all walks of
life, people who cannot properly digest
their food, which stays in the stomach
and, decomposing. gives rise to gases
that distress and the belching of which
humiliates.
These cases can all be cured cheaply
privately and satisfactorily. All one has
to do is to go to the nearest drug store
and buy Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
which only cost so cents a box, take
them according to the printed direc
tons, and they will do the rest. i
you have dyspepsia in any form O
stage; if you cannot digest a goot
square mealsthree times a day and ge
only strength and satisfaction out of it
try Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and yot
will be pleased.

O'D0NNEL CAUGHT HIM
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE WORK
HOUSE CHASES PRISONER A
QUARTER OF A MILE.

George Robinson, a prisoner at the
workhouse serving a n~inety-day, SEN
tence for vagrancy, made a dash for
liberty yesterday morning, but was cap
tured and returned to his cell by SUI
perintendent O'Donnel.
The prisoners, were taken to sinks
early in the morning as usual. They
are situated nearly a half mile from
the prison, and seeing no guard near
him, Robinson ran for the woods. SUI
p~erintendent O'Donnel was the first
to see him, and telling the guards to
take the other prisoners back, started
in pursuit. The two men ran nearly
a quarter of a mile, the superintendent
slowly gaining.
Robinson was arrested about two
weeks ago on suspicion of being a fiat
worker. He was in company with John
Nicols, an e]x-convict who is now at
Morris, Mimi, awaiting trial on a
charge of assault.
This is the second escape that has
been attempted since July l. The other
one was successful and the prisoner is
still at large, but is expected to be re-
turned to the workhouse in a few days:
That escape was reported to the board
of charities and corrections, but was
not made public until this morning. The
name of the escaped prisoner is not
| given outside.

BIG CONSUMERS
POOL INTERESTS
SYNDICATE TO BUY BARLEY d.
RECT IN MINNEAPOLIS.
Importance Of This City as Primary
Market Leads to Significant Move
by Large Mailing and Distilling Con-
Germs, Which Will Have Their Own
Representative on the Ground.

Another move in the invasion of the
Minneapolis market by the big barley
buyers OF the east comes to light today
in the report of a combination of power
full interests for the purpose of coopera-
ting and securing direct representation
here. In the deal are maltsters of Mani
towoc, Wis, Buffalo, N. Y, and other
n nented dist hTn S Of Louisville vi iii n Ky. f Under
control of these interests there has been
organized the Eeidl Grain company,
which will be managed by Frank Seidl,
an experienced maltster and distillery
expert, who has already moved here
from Manitowoc. The new company,
with an enormous consuming capacity
back of it. will be at once a buyer of
Importance second to none.
Up to last year the Louisville distil-
lers did business here thru local repre-
sentatives who bought the rye and bar
ley in the open market as occasion re-
quired. It often happened that at times
favorable to the purchase of raw ma
terial in large quantities, these consum-
ers were not in the market, and again
when they were ready to purchase heav-
able. Against the constant activity of
local firms engaged in the rye and bar
ley trade they found it hard to COM
pete, nor could they ignore this market,
for as a primary receiving point for
barley and rye, Minneapolis has made
great strides in the past few years,
keeping pace with the westward and
northward shifting of the center of
production. It has come to the toint
that no maltster, distiller, brewer or bar
lev exporter of size can now afford to be
without representation in the local field.
The result has been the alliance men
TONED above.
May Deal in Barley Futures.
In connection with the. new departure
a movement is under way on change,
following the suggestion Of James j. B.
Orth, a former Milwaukee barley expert
who located here permanently last sea
son, to devise some means for hedging
barley. In wheat, corn or oats it is
always possible for a buyer, upon pur-
chase of a lot in the country, immedi-
ately to insure against loss from price
decline by selling d corresponding
quantity for future delivery. There is
no future trade, however, in barley, in
Minneapolis.
1t is planned, if possible, to effect
such agreement between the largest
buyers as will prevent the throwing
back upon the seller of lots Of barley
that do not come up to sample, a thing
that occurs more frequently in barley
than in other grains owing to the deli
cacy of color and the liability to change
from weather or climatic conditions. 1t
is the idea to have a compromise eft
fected in every case, the barley being
taken and paid for, and differences af.
terward adjusted thru arbitration.

President Roosevelt is evidently

mary election, recently, in order to
have it decided by all the Republican
voters OF the place as to whom their
postmaster should be- There we're
several active and ambitious candi.
dates, and one more active than the
others, perhaps, was the victor in
the contest. But to the latter's
great surprise and disappointment
he found, when his formal applica.
ton and the result OF the primary
election bad been forwarded to
Washington, that the president had
to give the postoflice to
man who had not figured at all in
the primary election. II there is
moral in the incident il may be that
primary elections have their merits,
perhaps, but they don't always Sc
lect the best postmaster.
