FONTANET, Ind, Oct. Is
By the explosion of the Dupont
powder works today between rs
and so persons were killed, 500
injured and Fontanet. a city of
1000 inhabitants, was wiped out.
Where stood a thriving and busy
town this morning tonight are
ruin and scattered wreckage.
The dead and seriously injured
have been taken away. Five hun
dred inhabitants, all more or less
wounded, remain to gather up
their scattered household goods
and sleep under tents, guarded
by soldiers of the state.
Without warning the powder
mills, seven in number, blew up
at OILS this morning. They en-
ployed 200 men, and of these Is
were at work when the first ex-
plosion occurred in the powder.
In quick succession the mixing
mill, two coming mills and the
powder magazine blew up, fol-
lowed by the cap mill.
In the magazine, situated sew
eral hundred yards from the mill.
were stored 1000 kegs OF powder.
The conclusion when it blew up
was felt 200 miles away. Every
house in this town was destroyed.
F Farmhouses two miles away and
schoolhouses equally distant were
torn to pieces, and their occu-
pants were injured. Indianapolis
and even Cincinnati felt the
shock. A passenger train on the
Big Four railroad four miles away

with them instead of being in a hos

friends. In the reception given Mayor
Taylor, District Attorney Langdon and

ity. a spontaneity that has not been
exhibited In the same degree In any

cheers rang true and they were given
In a manner calculated to bring but
cold comfort to the McCafthy and Ryan
scouts who were posted throughout
the big crowd to make critical exam
ination of the temper of the people OF
the Mission as contrasted with tho sx-
hibitions Of sentiment made in their
meetings previously held in the same
hall.

CAI1[EAENN ANTLANS
Texas Association to Urge Stat
utes to Promote Industry in
West and South
WANT A DEMuRRAeE LAW
Also Favor Measure to Compel Roads
to Furnish Sufficient Cars to Move
Stock-Another Demand is for
Lease of Government Lands-Oppose
Removal of Tariff on Wool.

San Antonio, Tex, Dec. 13.-The
Texas Cattle Raisers' Association is
! preparing to wage a lively battle in
| Washington for the passage of three
laws, much needed to promote the cattle
industry. The first measure is a
measure requiring railroads to supply
| sufficient cars to enable stockmen to
get their cattle to market. The second
is a reciprocal demurrage bill. Under
/ the present law, If the railroad fur
nishes cars and the cattleman does not
load them promptly, he must pay de-
rnurrage TO the railroad. The proposed
reciprocal law proposes to a the
railroads pay demurrage il they fail
to furnish the cars on the day agreed
upon, or after due notice and demand
rhe third is a law favored by the
president regulating the lease OF gov
eminent lands to cattlemen. Inc
Texas stockmen are a unit in sup
porting the president in this law.
These proposed laws ave been en-
dorsed by the National Liv Stock AS
ISOLATION, and by lesser state and sec
ton associations. and are supported by
most of the cattlemen of the west.
Texas stockfnen are taking the initial
tive because this state produces one
sixth of the cattle Of the United
States. The value of live stock in
terests of Texas in 1904, according to
Official figures, was $9S,0SS, 436, and
amounts now to more han a hundred
million dollars. The protection of an
industry of this magnitude is a mat
ter Of prime Importance to this state.
1t is estimated that two-thirds of the
cattle business is centered in Texas
and the western states. 1t is certain
that this immense industry will up
hold Ike T.. Pryor, president of the
Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, and
Sam H. Cowan, the counsel, in the
fight they will make in congress this
winter.
Oppose Wool Tariff Reduction.
Texas sheep and goat men are ac-
lively organizing to resist any reduc-
ton in the tariff on wool and mohair
by the present congress-. Attic there
is a Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers'
Association, the breeders of South
west Texas met a few days ago at Del
Rio and made an auxiliary organiZa-
ton to be known as the Southwest
Texas Sheep and Goat Raisers' Asso-
citation. This section is the natural
home of the sheep and goat, and the
floeks here rumber over three-fourths
of those of the state. 1t is thought
that this auxiliary association will get
more prompt and decisive action in the
pending fight, and the sheep and goat
men are thoroughly aroused to a de-
termination to protect their industry
from the disastrous results that fol-
lowed the removal Of the wool tariff
in President Cleveland's administra-
ton.
