Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1906-04-18

We ran across him the other day
unique exception to the average run
of energetic western farmers-the man
who was contented with his eighty
acre farm. He did not deny having a
hankering for the eighty lying next his
own, but after thinking the PROPOSE
ton all over and realizing that life at
best Is short and that what of content
rnent and enjoyment he and his fam
lily get out Of the remaining years they
must get as they go along he wisely
decided not to undergo the bondage in
cident to the purchase Of more land.
He concluded that by putting the same
amount of work on the eighty that he
would on the quarter section he would
at the end Of the year be nearly as well
off financially and besides be free from
the grinding burden OF debt. Wise
man! Many afflicted with the craze
for more land regardless of conse-
quences might profit by taking his
viewpoint, his decision being based on
the fundamental philosophy that "a
mans life consistent not In the things
which he possesseth," but, rather, that
happiness Is found In sensible ad-
justment of self to environment. Not
more land. but more time to live" ID
the motto that should be impressed on
the minds Of many men today.

TOWN OF AMEN. H.. i,

Dortmund, Germany, Nov. 30
Twenty-four persons were killed, nine
ty-six dangerously wounded and sew
eral hundred slightly injured by an
explosion in the roburit factory near
Amen. The defamation was heard
through the surrounding industrial re-
gion, which in thickly settled. All the
windows in the adjacent town of An

were unroofed. The explosion &C.
CURED at $50 p. m. An hour earlier
fire had broken out in the factory,
which Is a part of the Krupp estab-
lishment. The fire brigade arrived at
8 o'clock, but was obliged to retire be-
cause of the danger of explosions:
The neighboring KTupp factories were
slightly damaged.
Roburit is an explosive of high pow
er, composed of saltpeter, ammonia,
sulphur and other ingredients. 1t is
not easily exploded by blow, and it
can be burned with safety in the open
air. It's power is second to that Of
dynamite.
Explosion Felt Ten Miles.
At the time of the explosion 600
boxes, each containing eighty pounds
of roburit, were stored in the factory.
The great force of the explosion was
felt as far as Dortmund, ten miles
from the scene of the disaster, where
large number of windows were
broken. On the main road to Amen
all the houses were RACED to the
ground, the bodies of the killed being
terribly mutilated. Surviving parents
dragged their sleeping children from
their beds, collected their portable
possessions and fed from the col
lapsing houses. Among the killed
were the burgomaster and police in
spector of the town of Witten, in the
vicinity of the roburit factory. The
manager of the factory was wounded,
but was able to direct the work of
rescue, which was only possible at
long range, as 200 pounds of dynamite
was stored in the powder rooms.
Experts declare that considering the
great precautions with which the ex-
plosives were stored the disaster could
only have resulted from some outrage.
Emperor William has directed Gen.
eral Won Scholl to visit Amen and
Witten and has subscribed $6,255 for
the relief Of the sufferers.

TO CREATE LAND COURTS.
Senator Hepburn Has Bill Ready TO,
Introduction.


Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Hey
burn, at the opening of the session of
congress next Monday, will introduce
a bill creating land courts in each OF
the public land states, in which an ap-
peal may be taken from any final de-
cislon by the register and receiver in
regard to the right to enter the public
lands. From these courts an appeal
will lie to national land court, to be
provided by the bill, with, headquar-
tiers at Washington, and consisting of
three judges. Mr.. Hepburn thinks
this will relieve the general land office
and the. interior department of the ne
cessity for deciding legal controversies
affecting the entry of public lands and
will greatly cvrtail the expense and
delay incident to such contests and at
the same time secure judges who will
be appointed for their special fitness
and ability to handle such cases.
