SECOND EXPLOSION OCCURS.
Ne One Injured in Latest Disaster at
Dynamite Plant.

Ashland, Wis, July 20.-Another
but less damaging explosion than that
which occurred Tuesday morning was
experienced at Ills a. m. at the At
lantic Dynamite company's plant,
seven miles from Ashland. No one
was killed or injured.
The dynamite and powder, which
was scattered by last Tuesdays ex-
plosion, had been gathered into con-
siderable pile near the site of the de-
stroyed neutralizing building. A bon
fire was lighted some distance away
from the explosives and this fire
spread through dry grass. Seeing that
the fire was certain to reach the dyna-
mite and powder pile a warning
whistle called every workman to
distant part of the plant. There they
stood and waited for the explosives to
"go up" This the explosives did,
sending timbers and parts of machin-
cry 1000 feet into the air.

DAILY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS OF
MORE OR LESS SEVERITY AT
SOCORRO, N. M.
REFUGEES SUFFER GREAT HARDsHIPS
CAMPING IN THE OPEN, WITH
THE HEAVIEST RAINS IN
YEARS FALLING.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, July 20.-Refu-
gees in large numbers are arriving
mere from Socorro, n. NJ, where great
damage has been wrought by a sue
cession of daily earthquakes since July
2. In that time not an hour has passed
without one or more quakes. The cen
ter of the disturbance is zone thirty
miles long by about ten miles wide,
running from the Ladrone mountains
southeast through SocorrC, San An
tonic and San Marcial. This side OF
the belt the shocks have been hardly
felt. Each one is preceded by loud
rumbling, like heavy thunder, which
can be heard approaching from the
northwest before it reaches Socorro.
Senor Baca Of Socorro, until recent
ly district attorney, is here with his
family. He says that people are leav-
ing on every train and those who can
not ride on the railroad are leaving
by wagon. About 1900 people are
camping out in tents and no one dares
to go indoors. Practically every resi-
dence and business block in the town
has been irreparably damaged. There
has been much distress among the
people who are camping in the open,
AS heavy rains have fallen In the last
two days, one being the heaviest for
fifty years.
Most of the people are going to Ell
Paso, although many are coming to
albuquerque and Santa Fe.
The shocks generally occursas short,
sharp jerks, the ground seeming to
slip violently. 1t is believed that the
adjustment of rock strata in the
rugged Ladrone and Magdalena noun
tains is the cause of the continued
shocks. -4a.zas -
Provisions are growing scarce and
real distress is feared among the refu-
gees.

RACES AT THE FAIR
List of Entries is the stBest Ever"
This Year.

! The list of entries for coming State
Fair has been published and shows
more conclusively than anything else
that this years fair is to be the "best
ever.'
Nearly 800 horses are entered, COM
ing from all parts of the United States
and every race has filled. The race
program has been so arranged that
there will be a sensational race on
each day of the fair. The fastest rae
ing will be Of Monday, Thursday, and
Saturday.
On Monday, both Dan Patch and
Creceus are to appear and attempt to
lower their own records. Aside from
this there will be the 2:35 trot for a
purse of $4,000 and the 2:O9 pace for
81 900.
The 2:13 pace is called for Tuesday
for purse of S., 900, in which race 20
horses are entered. The will also be
the 2:1s trot for purse of 81 900 and
three minute trot for $500.
On Wednesday, there is the 2:3o pace
for $250O purse-also 2:14 trot for
81 900 and a three minute pace for $500,
On Thursday, the event of the day
will be the 2:02 pace for $4,000 purse.
This will be the fastest race in the
United States this year. Aside from
this, there is the 2:1S pace for $1,000
and the 2:25 trot for 81 900.
For Friday, there are % horses en-
tered in the 2:21 trot for S. 900 purse
and 21 horses in the 2:23 pace for a
81 900 pnrse.
Saturday there is a 2:2s pace for
| 81, 900 and 2:10 trot for 81 900.
On the whole it probably the best
race program that can be seen any
where in the United States with more
horses entered and more money Of
fered than anywhere else.
The exhibitions of Dan Patch and
Creceus as we'll as the 2:O2 pace are
events that alone are worth going
much farther t. see.
The other departments of the fair
are also keeping pace IN in the race
to make this the largest fair ever held.
Space in the buildings is already at a
premium, and many lots outside the
buildings have already been taken for
exhibition purposes.

CHARGE MADE AGAINST MEM.
Der OF WISCONSIN STATE
SUPREME COURT.
NAME OF JURIs1 KEPT FROM PUBLIC
POINTED OUT WAY TO GRANT
REQUEST WITHOUT VIOLA
TON OF LAW.

Milwaukee, July 20.-A large num-
ber of general agents of life insurance
companies appeared before the Wis
sonsin legislative insurance investigat-
ing committee upon invitation of the
committee for the purpose of discuss
ing matters pertaining to legislation.
J. G. Albright, general agent of Wis
consin for the Union Central Life In
surance company of Ohio, produced
correspondence of sensational char
acter between his company and Wis
consin supreme court Judge in which
the latter tried to obtain rebate and
offered the company a plan for sub
terfuge under which the judge be-
neved the rebate could be given and
still come within the pale of the law.
Mr.. Albright said that If supreme
court judges were willing to offer sub
terfuge plans by which they could OBJ
tain rebates he thought there was lit
tie wonder the rank and file of the
public were looking for rebates II they
could obtain them. The name of the
judge with whom the correspondence
was had in October. 1902, was not
made public.
General condemnation against re-
batting was expressed and strong ad-
dresses made by John l. D. Bristol, a
general agent of the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance company;
Frank L. Wilson, general agent of the
Mutual Benefit Life Insurance COM
pany; Mr.. McCumber of the Penn
Mutual, Mr.. Morris of the Phoenix
Mutual, Mr.. Lands of the Aetna and
Mr. Kaufman of Minneapolis and the
general drift was that the companies
be compelled to put in the policy q
contract that the policy be void II
written under a rebate.

SCOTS WANT HOME RULE.
Bill Prepared Providing for PariIar
ment at Edinburgh. ...

London, July 20.-Irritated by fhs
lack of opportunities to discuss Scos
tish questions in the house OF com
mons and somewhat jealous OF tha
promises of greater control of local
affairs made to Ireland in the kings
speech at the opening of parliament
the Scottish members have selected
Mr.. Perie, Liberal member for the
North division of Aberdeen, to intre~
duce bill providing for the establish
ment of a parliament for Scotland
The bill provides for the creation OF a
single chamber legislature to deal with
purely Scottish legislation. Peers VIE
be eligible to membership and the ex
ecutive power will continue to be vest
ed in the crown. The bill also pro-
vides for a revival of the old Scottish
privy council ss it exiSted prior ITO the
union. 1t is proposeN that the Scot
tish parliament shall have power to
impose taxes, except customs and ex-
else duties, the king to be representea
by lord high commissioner and the
seat of government to be at Edin-
burgh.
Outside of the friends of Mr.. Per1es
who favors local self-government for
all nationalities of the United King
dom, the project is not taken serious
ly. There is no demand among the
people of Scotland for local parliar
ment.

voR AN IMMEDIATE DlssoLu.
TION OF PARLIAMENT.
COUNTRY ON VERGE OF. CIVIL WAR
is PREPARING. TO
ACCEPT BATTLE WHEN THE
CHALLENGE Is MADE.

st. Petersburg, July 20.-The belief
that the adoption by the lower house
Of parliapent of proclamation to the
nation on the agrarian question will
precipitate the long brewing conflict
and plunge the country into civil war
is profound. All hope of reconcilia-
tion between parliament and the gov
ernment is vanishing and the govern
ment is evidently preparing to take UP
the gage of battle when it is formally
thrown down. At a council held at
Peterhof the camarilla came out
strongly in favor OF dissolving parlia-
ment, but according to the best infor-
nation the emperor hesitated and at
the moment of adjournment refused
to agree to a dissolution, though his
final decision was postponed. Never
theless, the more moderate faction Of
the Constitutional Democrats, compre-
hending that the government can
hardly avoid the issue, shrink from
making the appeal to the country
which may involve climb down They
seriously believe that the advocates Of
a dissolution of parliament, realizing
that making the appeal would be
equivalent to a
Declaration of Civil War,
count upon the active intervention of
Austria and Germany, which, accord
ing to the official Ross1a, have agreed
III principle on sending troops across
the border to aid in the suppression
of an agrarian uprising should the
Russian government formally re-
quest it. The Rossia's announcement.
created q tremendous sensation. It is
stated that the decision of the two
neighboring powers was based on fear
that the execution of the principle of
the confiscation of property in Russia
would constitute danger to them.
The Rech. which joins in the appeal
to parliament not to take step which
might seem to warrant the govern
ment in asserting that parliament is
attempting to usurp the executive
power, says that il the government
adopts the desperate expedient of call
ing in foreign troops to put down
civil war the result will not be the
same as in 1S49, when Russian army
saved the Hapsburg dynasty. The
paper declares that the people will
rally under the banner of parliament,
as they did in England under that Of
the English parliament at the time of
Charles l., with probably a similar
result, namely, the loss of the kings
head"

WONDERLAND'S FEATURES
Duss Band Playing There and Knaub,

Duss Band Playing There and Knaub-
enshue Coming.
The great Duss band of seventy five
musicians, including a number Of noted
soloists, is playing at Wonderland, the
big amusement park, midway between
st. Paul and Minneapolis, being es-
pecially engaged with view to pleas
ing the music lovers attracted by the
sangerfest.
Wonderland has made great hit
and is drawing crowds that sometimes
numbers as high as $4,000. The park
has score of amusement features in
buildings and as many more outdoor
attractions, such as the scenic railway,
shooting the chutes, airship swing, etc.
In addition there is program of free
outdoor shows, which includes aerial
and acrobatic acts, bicycle sensations,
fireworks, etc. A feature of the park
is a brilliant electical illumination, in
which $4,000 incandescent and arc
lights are being used. Several special
features are booked for Wonderland
this summer of an especially lyinteresting
character. The Duss band is one of
tnem, and Knaubenshue and his airship

ABOLISH COUNTY SURVEYOR.
County Highway Commissioners
Wanted by State Commission.

When the next legislature convenes
number of facts will be called to it's
attention by the state board of high
way commissioners, which will re-
quest and recommend that number
OF laws relative to good roads be
amended. At the regular meeting of
the commission several matters of i'm
portance were taken up, all of which
will be carried before the legislature.
The position of county surveyor is
held by the commissioners to be USE
less office and one that should be abol
lshed. In place of the county survey
or they propose to install county
highway commissioner, to have active
charge OF all roads and bridge work in
the county including the repairing.
Another law regarded as uufavOr-
able to the best results is the poll tax
laWwhich provides that farmers may
work out their taxes on the roads.
The commissioners hope to see the
law altered to such an extent that
the taxes must be paid and not worked
out.
1t was also proposed to recommend
the building of state stone crushers at
different points in the state, to be op-
Grated by the state prison labor; that
IS, by those convicts not employed in
twine- making but engaged in the
manufacture of shoes. This change,
it is said, would be of great benefit to
the state and also put stop to the
dissatisfaction now existing among
organized labor.
Another law held to be bad is the
law which requires the highway COM
mission to apportion to each county
in the state at least $500 yearly,
whether the county assists the state in
good road work Or not. This law is
held to be unjust to other counties.
The passage of law requiring
that all roads shall be kept in
state of repair by the counties ira
versed by them will also be urged.
There is no such law at present and
considerable trouble has arisen re-
garding the repair Of roads. There
fore the matter has been left in the
hands of the town boards, which in
many cases have refused to repair the
county roads.
The expense to the state from the
vast army of overseers in every county
was also taken up, and the remedy
was given in the shape Of the county
highway commissioner. Under ex-
pert engineering, it is said, the cost
to the state is about II per cent, while
under the present system it exceeds
40 per cent.
1t was decided by the commission to
erect a building at the fair grounds, to
be finished before the 1906 fair opens.
The structure is to be unique in de-
sign, will probably be built of brick,
and will cost in the neighborhood of
$1,000. During fair week two split
log drays will be operated on the
grounds for the benefit of those inter-
ested in road work.

NATURES Light Making.

1t is we'll known to students of
natural science that there is
enormous waste of energy in all
industrial methods of producing
artificial light. 1t is also obyi-
Gus that in the processes which
nature employs in making the
FREELY luminous, for instance,
and for giving like powers to
other animals, there cannot be
much generation of heat. A re
cent calculation of the heat
which would be required to make
a glowing spot like the light Of
a freely, by any known mechan
ical means, fixes the temperature
at about 1000 degrees Fahren
heit. The tenth part of thai
heat would destroy the insect
which makes the light.
