UNION.

Union School closed March 10,
1905, with a picnic dinner and pro-
gram. The parents and children
planned a surprise On the teacher,
Miss Jessie Phillips, and at noon
the parents came in with well filled
baskets, and to say that the teacher
vas surprised would be putting il
mildly. Dinner was spread on two
long tables, which fairly groaned
under the burden of good things,
consisting of chicken, veal loaf
pickles, bread and butter, fruit sal.
ad, %jeIlies, cakes, pies, ice cream,
tea, coffee and lemonade, of which
all partook right heartily. Then the
children entertained the patrons
with a very interesting program,
which was. as follows h >

Reeitation-sThe Motherless Tur
keys" by Opal Pettitt.

proven herself worthy of the place
and has been employed to teach the

Operatives Panic Stricken.
In the sections Of the factory which
remained standing the operatives wera
panic stricken as they sought escape.
Many fed down the stairways and
reached the street, others ran to the
windows, the fire escapes in many
cases having been torn away by the
explosion. In desperation many
jumped from the second and third
story windows to the ground and were
dangerously injured. The crush on the
stairways resulted in numerous minor
injuries. Scarcely had the real por.
ton of the structure collapsed when

The entire factory was in flames.
Instant Death Fate of Many.
Instant death was the fate of many
who went down with the doors that col

cries Of agony and terror went VI AL
most, all had been caught between
broken timbers, lighter wooden wreck
age and heavy pieces of machinery. A
few persons succeeded in extricating
themselves from the wreckage, but more
were roasted to death.
Work of Rescuers.
BY this time nearby citizens had ar
rived to assist the employees who es-
capped in the rescue Of their fellows.
This task became momentarily more
difficult and perilous, for the heat from
the fire was almost unDearable. BY the
use of long pieces of timber the rescuer
were able to raise parts of the wreckage
and thereby release some of the impris-
oned men and women and then, by
rushing into the smoke, pull them from
the ruins. Then it was that acts of sac
rifce and heroism were seen. One man
whose legs were caught under an iron
beam cried to the rescuers that they
could not extricate him and to help the
girls behind him. Stretching out his
arms, he lifted several girls one by one
and passed them to the rescuers. Then
the fire reached him and he died. A
woman who was ~entangled in a shoe
machine cried out that she was dying,
and commanded the rescuers to attend
to others who might live. She beggedt to
be shot. Soon the flames enveloped her.
Many persons rushed into the ruins
and pulled out the injured at the immi-
nent risk of their own lives. Imprisoned
operatives, too far away for rescue, and
who knew that their lives would last but
a few moments, spoke words Of encour-
agement to those who seemed nearer
escape. Some prayed aloud. Others
pleaded with the rescuers to say good
by" TO relatives. The spectacle I'M
nerved many who were trying vainly to
get to the victims, and some turned
away sick and fainting. Members Of the
The Oskaloosa herald., 1905-03-23

fire department, with ladders, aided
greatly in the work Of rescue, but their
time for work was short, for within a
brief interval fire closed over the
w~reckage, and the cries of the impris-
oned were hushed. Not until after noon
was 1t possible to begin a search of the
factory ruins. Several charredI and
headless bodies were recovered near the
boiler pit, and the bones Of others were
found. They were placed in pine boxes
and removed to a temporary morgue.
Spread of the Flames.
In the meantime the fire was spread
ing from the Grover factory. 1t leaped
across Calmar street to a three-story
brick block at the corner of Main street,
owned by Charles F. Dahlborg and occu-
pied as a hardware store, and then to a
wooden lodging house, a dwelling house
on Calmar street, and small buildings,
all of which were destroyed. From the
rear of the factory the flames stretched
across Denton street to two dwelling
houses. BY this time the entire fire de-
partment and all the police reserves
were On the scene, but with the high
wind Flowing the flames could not be
checked and soon reached two other
dwellings. All these buildings were
practically ruined, but at this point the
fire was stopped. 49,.
