REBELS CONTROL
IN MOSCOW

Moscow, Dec. &c. The fighting
among the soldiers and revolutionaries
still continues. The rebels have de.
vided their forces into three sections.
Many women joined the revolutionaries
and fought with exceptional ferocity.
A woman disguised as Red Cross
worker made an unsuccessful ATTEMPT
on the life of the governor general
Twenty thousand rebels now hold the
city and are constructing fresh barri-
cades as we'll as repairing the broken
telephone wires. They threaten to
turn the churches into forts and defy
the artillery fire.
The czar's ukas of Tuesday extend.
ing the franchise has only served to
whet the ardor of the revolutionists,
who declare that each concession made
by the government only brings nearer
the goal for which they are aiming.
The fighting extends within an area
of eight miles of the city, while out
side of this place pitched battles be-
tween savage bands of loyalist soldiers
and rebels are tenig ofught. The latter
are cuttinS down every one they meet
without mercy, and the streets are
strewn with bodies.
Muscular women and servant girls
are saving down the telegraph poles
and overturning the tram cars. The
rebel tacics are becoming sort of
guerrilla warfare. The soldiers are
completely worn out by their labor of
the laast few days, and many of them
are in state of semiconsciousness ow-
ing to lack of sleep. 1t is reported that
the troops are wavering and that one
third of the garrison are coonfined in
the barracks as a result Of the men pro-
testing against shooting at the revolu-
tionaries.

Passenger Trains Collide.

In one of the most extraordinry ac-
cidents known to American railroad
ing, two heavily loaded passenger
trains came together on the elevated
tracks of the New York Central q Hud-
son River railroad. One man, J. W.
Knapp of New Rochelle, was killed
and 40 persons were more or less in
iured. Both of the colliding trains
were east bound, and had left the
Grand Central station at Forty second
street within a few minutes OF each
other. Rushing along on parallel
tracks the two trains suddenly came
together. The local was switched from
the third track to the fourth, and II
an instant the engine of the express
had crashed into the day coach follow
ing the smoking car of the local. Fire
apparatus from several stations were
summoned and many persons were res
cued by means Of ladders placed
against the structure.

AS TO DYNAMITE DANGERS.

Explosive May he Handled neck-
IosEly by Experienced Man.
The recent railway accident at Har-
risburg has brought out a vast amount
of irresponsible talk about handling
dynamite" said contractor who had
purchased tons of that explosive for
blasting purposes. THE majority of
persons who talk about dynamite have
only vague idea OF what II is. Dyna-
mite is not the dangerous substance II
Is popularity supposed to be. 1t may
be handled with absolute recklessness
by an experienced man and will not
detonate except under well-defined cir
cumstances. A defamation is about / :
600 times quicker than an explosion.
Dynamite detonates. 1t does not ex.
plode.
dynamite in its marketable form, in
order to At into drill holes, is shipped
in sticks varying from half an inch
or two inches in diameter and from
three inches to one foot In length. In
the early days of its manufacture,
before Its properties were fully under
stood, there were some BILE
explosions that gave dynamite bad
name 1t has never recovered from.
Time has made us wiser. There Is no
danger at all in children finding odds
and ends of dynamite thrown away by
careless workmen. A child would find
a great deal of difficulty In exploding
1t. Every now and then we read OF
somebody receiving supposed infer
nal machine containing dynamite,
which is promptly immersed in water
before 1t is opened. If 1t was really
dynamite 1t would explode just rs
readily, under proper conditions, IL 1t
were in twenty feet OF water.
dynamite Is nitroglycerln held in
an absorbent-wood pulp, coal dust or
other material-that will hold the ex-
plosive tightly. 1t is powder of a
resinous nature. varying In color with
the absorbent used. The strength Is
calculated by the amount of nitrogly-
GERM absorbed by the carrier, varying
all the way from 20 to 80 per cent.
For commercial purposes stick
dynamite ia packed In twenty-five
pound or 'fifty-pound cases, with lib
eral allowance OF sawdust. 1t can be
freighted or stored without danger.
provided common intelligence and care
be used. 1t is only when ignorant
persons attempt to experiment with
1t that 1t becomes a powerful destroy
ing agency. In some States its trans
portation by rail is governed by strict
law. 1t should be so in every State.
In New York and other cities Its trans
portation through the streets Ia regu-
lated by the fire commissioner. The
police have nothing to do with it,

SELECT HOSPITAL PALACES.

| House Surgeon Wears Evening
DreSS-EverythinE an style.
When fashionable men or women go.
into private hospital of the present
day type 1t does not mean that they
must put the things of their own
world behind them. There Is little of
the ordinary simplicity of furnishing
that one associates with the word hos
pital In these institutions, says the
New York Press, nor Is there q prev
alence of white walls and the odor OF
iodoform. Nor do the doctors and
huse surgeons dress in the uniform or
the ordinary garb of the average in
terne
A first visit to one Of the best-known
private hospitals In this city must nee
esarlly be something in the nature Of
shock to one who knows only tina
big public Institutions of this kind. In
place Of wide, empty, sun-llghted halls.
with hardwood floors, the visitor will
see such a dimly lighted interior as
he might expect to find In smart
dwelling house. There are costly rugs
silken portierres In the doorways. The
reception room Is also furnished with
beautiful rugs. attractive easy chairs
and tables on which Is a litter OF
beautifully bound books of all sorts, to
say nothing Of profusion OF the latest
novels.
No dog cared back numbers OF cheap
magazines or uninteresting technical
monthlies are in sight. Waiting is
made as agreeable as possible 80 far
as the eye Ii concerned, by the har
m0nious hanging on the walls and the
rare bits of porcelain and pottery that
are placed about on convenient
shelves and recesses.
Across the hall from the reception
room the visitor may catch a glimpse
of the dining room of the stan OF
house surgeons-a perfect gem of an
apartment from the masculine point
Of view. Indeed, 1t Is that character
ist1c touch of the man In all these dec
orations that somehow gives to these
interiors a SAVIOR OF being stage set
ting. 1t is such an interior as you
might see at the Empire Theater dur
ing the run of a modern society play.
A further comforting touch OF the
correct social atmosphere is furnished
TO smart inmates OF this hospital by
the head house surgeon, who invarL
ably makes his round OF calls after
o'clock in evening dress. He does not
shirk his responsibilities in this line
by slipping into dinner jacket He
goes to the extreme of a white waist

the report of the kaiser's purpose has

FIRST TEACHERS MEETING
DR.. JORDAN ADDRESSES GATHER
ING CALLED IN PREPARATION
FOR SCHOOL OPENING.

Or. Charles M. Jordan, superintend-
ent Of schools, addressed the first gen
eral teachers meeting of the year this
morning at 10 O. CLOCK, in the assembly
room of the East high school. About
1000 teachers were present.
The plans for the years work will
be given out at the various meetings of
teachers and principals to follow later.
DR.. Jordan explained that the meeting
this morning was merely for general re,
organization, and suggested that the
teachers pay particular attention to
three thingst-he pleasant relationship
between teacher and pupil, the helpful
ness Of acquaintance with parents; and
the necessity of making things pleasant
and easier for new teachers. The
present school year opens under more
promising circumstances than any pre-
cedih'g year, and the teachers were
asked to cooperate in making it sue
cessful.
At the close Of the remarks special
meetings were held for the teachers Of
the separate buildings, and another for
principals and supervisors. There, will
be no office hours in the rooms Of the
school board on Monday. #

CORN EXCHANGE FLOODED
BURSTING WATER TANK MADE
TENANTS THINK A SECOND DEL
UGE WAS COMING,

Torrents of water flooding the Corn
Exchange building at 1920 am. led
the tenants to lose faith in the signi-
ficance of the rainbow. With a boom
that sounded like boiler explosion, the
wooden tank on top of the bui1ding,
holding about five hundred gallons,
burst and the contents went in ali
directions, ,deluging the front sidewalk
ing the roof on the two-story section
of the building in the rear Of the ele-
vator shaft. Water that did not es-
cape over the roof found it's way down
the iron stairs and thru the Railways
with great rapidity. Every crevice was
invaded by the flood, and soon many
of the Offices were dripping with water,
Notwithstanding frantic efforts of the
janitors.
Fortunately, no one was passing the
front of the building when the iron
hoops burst on the tank. A horse be-
longing to the Twin City Fixture ex-
change was hitched in the stockade at
the rear Of the building and was fright
ened badly. by the .showerbath, and
tried to climb the high fence with
his wagon.

IOWA REQUEST III.
IS TURNED DOWN
NO EXAMINATION OF THE NORTH.
WESTERN NATIONAL LIFE.
General Manager L. K. Thompson Tells
Hawkeye State Auditor That Recent
Investigation Of the Company Is
Sufficient and That Expense of An,
other Would Be Unwarranted.

The Northwestern National Life In
surance company of Minneapolis has
declined to submit to an examination
by the Iowa department. Reasons for
this attitude of the Minneapolis COM
pany are given by Leonard K. Thomp-
Son, vice president and general mana
ger. Mr.. Thompson said today:
1T have advocated federal supervi-
sion Of life insurance for many years,
now the enormous saving that would
accrue to po]icyholders in doing away
with these state examinations, piled one
upon another, and unnecessarily duph-
eating the same work.
"We have been diligent in our eff
forts to reduce expenses and to make a
profit for our policyholders, and we are
not willing to expend any more money
for examinations which can be of no
value.
"The solvency of the company and
the proper conduct of its affairs as now
administered have been established be-
yond question by the examination just
completed, the results of which have
been published.
"We are exceedingly busy here at the
office catching up after the Kansas ex-
animation, getting out new policies and
literature, and arranging for an aggres-
sive fall campaign, and it would be bet
ter for us to suspend temporarily the
soliciting, of new business in Iowa,
should Auditor Carroll revoke our
license, than to be subjected to the ex-
pense and the interference with our
work of another examination following
right on top of the one just completed
Mr.. Thompson has written to State
Auditor B. f. Carroll of Iowa, eXplain-
ing the position of the company
