FOR MILES
Explosion at Aetna Powder
Mills Jars Town of
Hobart.
REPORT NO FATALITIES
Although the Force of the Conclusion
Is Great, Damage Done
Is Small.

There was a tremendous explosion
in one of the buildings at the Aetna
Powder works this morning, which
shook the little town like an earth
quake and even broke windows in Ho-
bart, several miles away.
The first separator containing nitro
glycerin, in some unaccountable man
ner exploded and the building which
was one OF several that dot the prem
ises of the Aetna Powder works was
blown to pieces.
The accident happened at about 7:45
a. m. and several Hammond people re
member having felt the shock at the
time. Fortunately there was no one
were no deaths or injuries that resulted
directly from the explosion.
One man is said to have been cut by
flying glass but the abrasions are not
serious. In Hobart, the people were
very much frightened by the shaking
up they received and concluded that
the town Of Aetna must be wiped off
the map. They were reassured when
they learned that there were no fatali-
ties.
The property loss was small owing
to the fact that the buildings in which
the work is done, and where the ex-
plosion took place. are of the most
f1imsy construction and the accident
merely was the cause of blowing one
of them to splinters.

Mrs. Long, on the witness stand de-

She related the circumstances that led
to his arrest. Her husband was asleep

Keipling, who visited the couple with
great frequency. We're below. Keipling
attempted to embrace her. She screamed
and her cry brought Long from up
stairs. Keipling's arrest followed.
Keipling had very little to say.
He appeared in court with one of his
arms swathed in bandages, the result
of the loss Of hand a few days ago,
the member having been cut off in an
accident at the Inland Steel companys
works, where both he and Long are
employed. The accident delayed the

PACKAGES FOR CHRISTMAS
Those for Foreign Ports Beginning to
Appear in the Mails.

Christmas packages have begun to
appear in the mails leaving the city,
but they are packages for foreign
countries and are not as yet numerous.
In regard to packages for various cit
les and towns in the United States, Il
would be we'll to allow few days more
for their transit than under ordinary
conditions. This especially is true OF
the registered packages.
For the ordinary packages 1t usually
is possible to put on extra men and
force the packages through IN a rush
so they Will not be greatly delayed. bui
with registered mail 1t Is different So
many safeguards are thrown about this
registered mail that is affected consid-
erably in holiday times, and it is best
to allow about three extra days for its
transporta tion during such times
Another thing that should be re-
membered in preparing packages foI
shipment through the mails is that they
should be wrapped securely. but not
sealed, and that they should always
bear return card and be addressed
so Iegibly that there will be no danger
of their being carried to the wrong
| point

Washington, D. c.. Dec. 9.-The re-

Minister First Drowned Out of His Flat and Then
Taken for Burglar When He Seeks to Find Leak.
Hanlon Discovers the Burglars"

To be washed out of bed by deluge
of icewater and then to be con-
fronted in the dark by three policemen
with drawn revolvers was the thrilling
experience Of Rev. Deloss NJ. Wood,
presiding elder Of the Northwest In
diana Conference.
1t happened Friday night and the
reason why the police did not make re-
port of 1t will develop as the plot un-
folds
Rev. Mr.. Wood took dinner with his
neighbor, Henry Burk. in Rimbach ave-
nue.. After brief post-parandial visit
he returned to his residence, "a Clinton
street. He worked two hours on the
sermon which he was to have delivered
yesterday, when, accordin@ to his itin-
erary, he was to occupy pulpit in the
southern part of the district. after
which he retired to peaceful slumber.
About O'Clock in the morning he
dreamt that he was drowning. He
woke to find the hed-clothes saturated.
He searched in vain for q dry spot
within the radius of his arms He
peeled the soggy drapery of his couch
and sprang out of bed and found him
self four inches deep in water. The
water was seeping-nay, pouring
through the ceiling.
Plaster Did Not Fall.
In few minutes the plaster might
have been loosened and a hundred
pounds of it let down upon him.
He splashed through the rising flood
to strike a light. but the matches, In
common with curtains, the dresser scarf
and pin cushion, were drenched and re-
fused to ignite. He dragged himself
into such of his garments as he could
find IN the dark.
Rev Mr.. Woods habiliments are am
ple They are capable of containing a
lot OF water as well as churchly dig
nifty. They had as much as they could
hold and some more.
Internationally but decorously clothed
he made haste to the residence OF
Neighbor Kussmaul hard by. Mr.
Kussmaul accompanied Mr.. Wood to the
flooded district.

SHORT RATIoNS.

All the scraps from the table, in
stead Of being thrown away and wasted
can be made a source of profit if fed to
the hens.
Wheelbarrows and wagons make poor
roosting places for the fouls. Provide
proper roosts and see that they are
used.
Soft feed which has been allowed to
become sour should not be fed to the
chickens 1t is liable to induce bowel
trouble.
Chicken meat is cheaper than any
other kind and there is no reason why
every farmers table should not be we'll
supplied with this toothsome Wand.
If your pullets have proven to be
poor layers. do not keep them over in
the hope that they will do better an
other year. A poor laying pullet sell
