Lead S. d., Feb. 2O.-This city is all ex-
element Today over the attempted destruction
last night of the home of Con Green, assistant
foreman of the Homestake Mining company.
About 2 o'clock this morning people We're
awakened by the sounds of a loud explosion,
1t could be heard all over town, and every part
of the city felt its force. Someone had put
dynamite under the porch of the Green resi-
dence and the porch and the front Of the house
were shattered. Only the fact that the de-
structive element was put so near the fork Of
the house prevented the wrecking of the entire
house and killing all Of Its occupants.
Green's son, Edward. was reading in bed
when the explosion occurred and received a
severe shock, but no one else was injured. Win
dows in theS high-school building, just across
the road, were shattered. Green is not known
to have any enemies. He is one of the most
trusted men in the employ Of the company and
has wide circle of friends,
1t is thought that the attempt must have
been made by some laborer who was discharged
and wished to be avenged. An Investigate ton is
being made. '"t

Hastings. Mimi, Feb. 20.-rhe sheriff Of Da-
kota county and the board of county commission
ers Of this county are having the time of their
lives. J. J.. Grisim the sheriff, has a great
fondness for pets. The county board has prop
osition on its hands to build a new Jail. One of
the reasons for this Is that the state board of
control has condemned the Jail now in use.
Among other things it Is thought that more
bathtubs are needed.
Now the sheriff of Dakota county has a bright
bathtub in room in the basement of the
courthouse. That room is cut off from use,
cage in it under lock and key in which there are
two monkeys. p a. l-..r e-- I.
The monkey as a pet rewards the owner with
odors and two monkeys are more than the other

the presence of the monkeys it was believed such
things really were there. . - 49, ,
The courthouse attaches claim that prisoners
will not take baths in the bright tub, be-
cause they say it is inmodest to battle in the
presence Of two monkeys, who seem so nearly
human and are Of the gentler sex. Further in
vestigation Of the county building was made
and it was found that the sheriff had used up
some more of the basement with a large fock
of blooded hens. These were confined in the
rooms under the auditors office.
No Room for Officials.

CAUSE OF APPENDICITIS.

French Scientist Has New Theory
Concerning the Disease.
M. Blanchard, shining light in the
French medical world, now comes for
ward with a startling new theory
which entirely upsets all preconceived
notions. He asserts-and says his as
sertiOn is backed by Professor Metch-
nikof of the Pasteur institute
appendicitis is undoubtedly caused by
intestinal worms. These are of three
kinds, and the most dangerous is that
known as the trygocephal, which
causes the sharp pains and symptoms
which indicate appendicitis.
Microscopic examination in every
case of appendicitis that has come
under the observation of Professor
Blanchard and Professor Metchnikoff
has revealed the presence of these
parasites in the appendix. "Appendi-
citis," says Professor Blanchard, more
especially occurs during hot weather,
and, although not contagious or infec-
tious, it frequently assumes the char

market gardens in the neighborhood of
great cities, such as Paris and London,
are frequently MANFRED and fortified
by the deOdorized and chemically treat
ed product Of the city sewers. In these
market gardens the vegetables are
forced. and examination shows that
they contain numerous intestinal para
sites, and especially the eggs of the
dreaded trygocephal.
The professor says that a surgical
operation for appendicitis is absolutely
unnecessary, and that it should never
be performed unless some hard sub
stance, such as cherry stone, has
been accidentally swallowed by the
patient. He urges legislati ton to forbid
the use Of deodorized and chemically
treated sewage as manure, and that
thymol should be extensively used
against intestinal worms.

But, in desperation, Brown gathered

sent up mighty cheers, turned, in
many cases to curses of rage, when

But the disappointment did not last
long. A few seconds and the immense
crowd, realizing they had just wit
