Disaster in Games Crisis.

At Trenton, n. j., a group of Italian
laborers gathered about table for q
game of cards in the four-story tene-
nlent house on South Warren street.
The table was shaky One of the men
braced the shaky leg with a chunk OF
black stuff 1t worked admirably and
the play proceeded. In few minutes
it grew close and exciting. Michael
Conta. sure of his point planked down
a card with bang.
The chunk of black stuff under -
table leg was dynamite. and the sIay-
ers discovered the fact al that instant.
SO did the 100 members of the II fam
lilies who occupied the building. which
ratified till they thought another San
Francisco disaster was on and scram-
bled to the street in frenzy.
The explosion tore a hole five feet
in diameter in the floor and overturned
a lamp upon table on the floor below.
That started fire. but the blaze was
quickly extinguished by the firemen.
When the confusion subsidized Conts
was found unconscious and bleeding
with but one arm. The other had beer,
blown off 1t was the arm that haG
made the last play. Several others OF
the players were hurt, but less seri-
ously.

AnnihiIated His Rival.

"a shining example of private virtue
and an exalted teacher of good and
honest government" Is the description
Of Robert Toombs of Georgia given in
"The Brothers War" Toombs was
prominent character for many years
before the war and served in the two
houses of congress about fifteen years
He was afterward secretary of state in
the confederate government.
He had wit and fineness of express
sion SAYS the author which made his
phrases and repartees widely quoted
and made him the delight of apprecia-
tive audiences.
A rival candidate really conspicuous
and celebrated for his little ability, in
a stump debate pledged the people that
if they would send him to congress he
would never leave his post during
session to attend the courts. as he un-
Justly charged Toombs with habitually
doing. Toombs disposed of this fling
by merely saying:
You should consider which will hurt
the district more, his constant presence
in or my occasional absence from the
house."

FAMOUS sPoUTER RusTs OUT.
Woonsocket's Artesian Well Is Now
CIassed With the Has Beens.

Woonsocket, s. D., July 17.-Woon-
sockets famous artesian well, once the
greatest in the world has rusted out
it's iron casting and is leaking badly.
Workmen have commenced on the job
of plugging it 400 feet below the sur
face. A new we'll has been drilled to
take the place of the old one, and is
now attached to the city water mains.
The famous old we'll was struck
January 10, $780, and cost about $4,000.
The night before the water was found
work was suspended as usual. About
6 o'clock in the morning the fireman
was steaming up his engine prepara-
tory to resuming work when he heard
a rushing noise, and was startled to
behold a column of water the size OF
a mans body rushing from the casing
to the height of about six feet 1t rose
in height rapidly until it spouted II
feet high. The drill rods were forced
up out of the we'll and were strewn
about, and the derrick was split, twist
ed and ruined The well flowed 5000
gallons a minute and showed pres
sure of 1871 pounds to the square inch.
The contract called for a section of
perforated pipe at the bottom of the
WE'LL but the pressure was so great
that it was impossible to force it down.
AS soon as the pressure on it was re-
lieved it bobbed up like a cork. A dis
pute arose over this feature of the con-
tract and for three days the well was
allowed to flow unrestrained, flooding
the town and forming lake two miles
long and mile wide south of the city
Then Mayor c. E. Kinds accepted the
we'll, a valve was put on and the flow
shut off.
Thru two-inch nozzle the water
was thrown 1876 feet in the air, and on
celebration days and for the entertain
ment of distinguished visitors the we'll
used to be turned into the air. An an
nouncement that The artesian well
will be turned on" used to draw ire
mendous crowds to the town. For years
the we'll has not been turned open as
the water was required for the city
water system. The town expects next
year to go deeper for a we'll of much
greater pressure. The old we'll was the
third big we'll in the state. The first
was at Yankton and the second at
Redfleld. This was much greater than
either.

UNIQUE Hospitality.

Senator Proctor of Vermont has been
in the habit of putting on overalls and
boots and making tour of the state
each year Should he do so in 1906 he
hopes to escape ar infection which has
fallen to his lot several times. One year
he was invited to dinner with farmer
constituent. The wife of the farmer,
who was to have bacon and cabbage,
was so excited because of the high po-
sition of her guest that she allowed
the cabbage to scorch.
.1,l have to apologize for the cab
bage." she began.
"Oh, don't do it," Senator Proctor
said. eff there is any one thing 1 do
like it is to have cabbage burned just
a little"
Every farmers wife passed the news
along and up to and including last
year the senator was obliged to eat
scorched cabbage whenever he dined
with a constituent.
