FATAL STOCK YARDS BLAST
FIVE KILLED IN EXPLOSION AT
ARMOUR PLANT.
Workmen Are Killed Outright, Three
Fatally Hurt and Several Others
Manned.

Chicago, Jan. 29.-Five men are
dead, three fatally injured, two miss
ing and nearly 20 hurt as the result
of the explosion of an ammonia-filled
cylinder tank of Armour & Co. in the
stockyards Monday. Scenes following
the explosion were terrible and pitiful
IN the extreme, the agony of the vic
tins being evidenced by the fact that
several had bitten their tongues in
two when dragged out from the area
of Sitting fumes.
The roar of the conclusion, which
for a moment stunned hundreds in the
surrounding district, was followed by a
rush to the rescue and soon policemen
from ten patrol wagons and ambu-
lances, as well as fremen and citizens,
were dragging out the sufferers, their
heads wrapped in cloths as protection
against the fumes.
The first to enter into the work of
rescue were the members of fire insur-
ance patrol No. 4, the station of which
is directly across from the refrigerat-
ing plant at West Forty-fourth street
and Packers avenue.
The firemen at first We're baked in
their efforts to enter the building and
were driven back because of the over
whelming fumes of ammonia. Later,
when the fumes had partly cleared
away, they were more successful and
the patrol house become temporary
haven for the sufferers.
Several worlmen, through heroic
efforts, were able to save more than
dozen of the victims. The resources
wrapped cloths about their heads. but
even with that protection found it diff
cult to penetrate into the murky scene
of wreck and ruin.
The sufferings of the victims in
some instances were terrible, and
there were signs that the dead men
had died in intense agony. Blood
streamed down from the mouths OF
several who had bitten their tongues
in part or wholly in two. All were
killed OF injured by asphyxiation and
the force of the conclusion, none being
struck by flying material.
About rs men were working in the
room when the explosion occurred.
Repairs were being made on tank No.
4, the one which burst.

Automobile and Dust,

Much complaint has been heard in
France during the past summer on ac-
count of the excessive business of the
otherwise admirable roads. This is
ascribed mainly to the increasing use
of automobiles. 1t is asserted, says
Youths Companion, that houses and
chateanx with beautiful grounds and
gardens have been rendered virtually
uninhabitable by the clouds of dust
raised by passing automobiles, and
even garden plants have been serious
ly damaged by the thick carpet of dust
spread over them. 1t seems to be
agreed that the remedy is not to be
sought through any change in the
structure, or the speed of automobiles,
hut through some treatment of the
roadways tending to keep down the
dust. Tarring the roads is strongly
recommended, the use of petroleum
being practically excluded on account
of its great cost in Europe.

coNcEALlNe ONION IN SALAD.
indispensable FIavoring Should Never
Be Too Pronounced.

Onion is Indispensable to good
salad, but it's presence should never be
suspected. The best way to conceal
it is to rub the sides of the dish with
a section of an onion, and not to put
any onion in the salad at all.
Another way is to use half tea,
spoonful of onion juice in the salad
dressing. This is for the French dress
ing, of oil and vinegar, salt and pepper.
The juice is obtained by grating the
onion. 1t is well to set aside small
crater for this purpose, as the onion
will cling to 1t. Crate the juice into a
saucer and use no more than a half
teaspoonful to small salad.
Chives, chopped very fine and sprin.
killed. in the salad, are an excellent sub.
stitute for onions.

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and thatis by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
five cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can

TRIBUTE TO THE
DEPARTED HEROES

Post, No. T. G. A. r., who has been re-
garded as the poet-laureate of the Depart
ment of the Potomac, read his latest memo
rial poem today at the ceremonies at Sol
diers' Home. 1t is entitled Their Memory
Never Shall Die"
DR.. Calver is the author of many poems
and odes that are used in Grand Army ex-
ercises In all parts of the country. He was
regular contributor to The Star forty
years ago. His poem follows:
How sweet is the meeting in beautiful morn,
When diamonds Of dewdrops and sunlight born,
And roses and lilies the gladdened air steep
In fragrance just gathered in hours of their Sleep
And melody whispers from leaves of the trees,
And banners, fresh flung, wave their greetings
high
To heroes whose memory never shall die.
In rhythm with the echoes Of hushed marching
That sadly were laid in funereal urn.
They come to us now from the long, long ago;
Not telling of death, nor of anguish, woe,
But glory and honors fortune might buy
The heroes whose memory never shall die
How sweet is the meeting when friends of the
right,
Attesting the glory these gallant men earned
In dangers when fear was a quality spurned;
In marches heroic, on terrible nelu
Where only the fallen and helpless might yield;
In death that was met without falter sigh
The heroes whose memory never shall die!
How sweet is the meeting when friends of our flag
Bear witness that never in shame win 1t drag
When men like these heroes are ready to rise
And raise up its folds to the glorious skies
These heroes who only aim knew
To God and to country to always be true
Their aim the stars of the armament high
These heroes whose memory never shall die!
How sweet is the meeting when beauty and yoth
With fresh, glowing faces hailing the truth
