F0NTANE'r. Ind, Oct. i6.---When th,
residents Of this village Of 1000 peopl'
.awoke this morning. they encountered !
much different situation than they had
been accustomed to In the past. In
stead Of quiet country town and pleas
ant scenery to greet their eyes. desola'
tIon was at hand. Soldiers OF the In
diana State Militia had stood guard all
through the night.
Details as TO what caused the terrible
catastrophe OF yesterday when the pow.
der mills blew up. killing probably 30
and injurlng some 900 persons. were
lacking. No one connected with the
powder company could scribe any rea-
son for the explosion. Several rumors
were ciirrenn One OF the most probable
circulated was that the machinery In
the glazing mill became overheated from
friction and set fire to some loose pow.
der in the glazing mill, which was the
first TO blow up, the other sections Of
the plant following in rapid succession,
A number Of the people of this place
/ were able, by patching up their houses
20 pass a fairly comfortable night. The
feAainder were accommodated with
slecpsQg room on cots placed In tents
brought here BY order Of Governor Han
ley. Systematic efforts are going forth,
and within short time It II thought
most of the houses will be repaired In
such manner as TO permit the reoccu.
pancy Of them.
The officers OF Company B, Indiana
Nation Guard, which was brought here
early last night, report that the night
passed with no disturbance Of any kind
The soldiers were distributed so as Ia
guard as much Of the town as was pos,
sible. The. guardsnen were instructed
to shoot at sight at any attempt to
loot.
1t Is understood the state authorities
will Immediately begin an investigation
III the cause of the disaster.
The injured passed a fairly comfort
able night. and no additional deaths at
this place are reported.
Systematic efforts to search for vic,
Tins among the debris In the powder
mills were begun this morning. Men
were distributed so as to make thor.
tosigh search for further victims Of the
disaster yesterday. A number Of coflins
were received here this morning from
'Term Haute, and the bodies Of those
recovered will be buried today. The total
number of dead will probably never be
known, and II will be several days be-
!. fore the exact amount Of property loss
can be figured out.
The loss to the powder company, In
property damaged, Is estimated at $780,
900, including 5000 kegs Of powder
stored In the magazine which exploded
The property loss 10 the town f Fon'
Janet will exceed $5O0,0O0.

Secretary Clague took a leading
part in defeating the bill for estab-
fishing a state printing plant in
the old capitol building. Senator
Clague's head is level. The writer
was employed in the state printing
plant at the Kansas capital for the
most of ten years, and is firmly of
the opinion that the work cost more
than by contract, the redeeming
feature being that Kansas had a
higher grade of printing for her
money than is generally put out I'M
der the contract system. The estab-
lishment of plant big enough to
take care of all grades of state
printing would cost a lot of money,
at the present high price of print
ing machinery.

points in the test of the cream.
Again, if the separator is turned
faster the cream will be richer; if
turned slower the cream will be
thinner.
Suppose a case. The farmer has
some pressing matter to attend to.
He is in a hurry to get his morning
work done and out of the way so he
can get off. He goes up to the
barn, does his work in a hurry,
milks the cows quickly and imme-
diately runs the milk thru the sepa-
rator; unconsciously he gets up more
speed than usual, he actually turns
the crank sixty times instead of the
proper so per minute and gets 40
per cent. cream. Another day he is
in no hurry, perhaps a neighbor
calls, the weather is a little cooler
and he stands while talking after
milking, the milk also cools down to
Is degrees. The separators also is
unusually cool that runs the milk
down to 70 degrees and being in no
hurry and busy talking he doesn't
turn the crank quite so fast, in fact
only gives it about As turns per
minute. That is the milk is 20 de-
grees cooler and the separator is

"A boy may be born poor and
succeed in life for all of that; but
if horn honest what hope is there
for him if times remain as they
are?" The above sentence is from
a farm paper and illustrates the dis
position of too many of these publ
cations to appeal to prejudice rather
than common sense. There never
was a time when simple honesty
commanded higher premium in
the respectable business world than
as to be fooled by such cant.
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1907-04-24

run Is turns slower per minute than
when he got a 40 per cent. cream,
and now he is all riled up when he
learns that his cream only showed
25 per cent. He is sure that the
cows are just the same and operated
the separator just the same so he is
sure that the test ''is only guess
work" or else he is being cheated"
The proper way to make compari-
sons is in the butter fat paid for not
in the test. If all the conditions
of COW feed, milking. separator,
ETC., are similar period by period
and if the home consumption of
milk does not vary the dairyman can
expect to sell about the same num-
Der of pounds of fat in equal periods
of time.
The test does not bring the money
The pounds of fat is what is being
sold and not the per cent. A thoro
understanding of this vital point will
help many a dairyman to solve the,
ever-present problem of test varia-
ton and stop much of the eternal
rag-chewing about percentages, for
in my opinion nine-tenths of the,
criticisms of tests would cease if
this should once be thoroly appre-
ciated by dairymen.

A sketch of the late H. P. Hall
appears, on another page of this
paper. All of the papers of the
state vie with each other in extolling
the kindness of heart of the old
veteran. On the day of his death
he was talking with Carlos Avery Of
Hutchinson and other friends in the
game and fish commission rooms of
the capitol, and responding to some
joking remark about his health, he
said, "I'll fool you all some day by
dying and within two hours he
had made his prophecy good.

WOMEN SEE VICTORY NEAR.
Duluth Herald.

/ DulutH Herald.
The women ofsMinnesota have APP
parently won the major portion of a
most decisive victory in securing
the passage by the house of the
Spooner bill for the relocation of
the girls industrial school. They
have the senate yet to reckon with
but that is declared not dangerous.
Finally, they viii bring much pow
erfal influence to beaf On the board
OF control to assure ultimate ultimate and
complete success.
The women are to be congratu-
lated. especially the members Of the
Minnesota Federation of Women's
clubs and of the various organiza-
tions thruout the state, on what is
conceded to be the greatest political
victory that they have ever won, in
securing decisive action by the
house, Inss.this battle. which has
been long continued and remark
ably energetic and determined. the
members Of the Duluth women's
club have been ever in the very
forefront, and to them belongs a
goodly share of the Credit for the
success Of. the campaign that seems
about.to be crowned with triumph.
With the passage of the Spooner
bill by the senate which is declared
to be assured, the women will still
have considerable work to do to
meet and overcome the efforts of
the people of Red Wing and in
fuence the board of control to re-
ject all overtures from the people OF
that place looking to the relocation
of the school at a new point in that
city. This is a proposition that is
equally as distateful to the women
of the state as the matter against
which they have fought so long and
SO well and, if Red Wing shall prevail
in this, the victory will be turned to
dead sea fruit
However, the well-earned success
of the women in the house will give
them renewed courage and redoub-
led strength for the final contest
before the state board of control.
The houses action will favor them
greatly and it is extremely probable
that they will have what they have
set their minds to- the location of
the girls school in some city of the
state far removed from the boys
school.

A BOON TO FUEL USERS.

If the assertions of dispatch in
the daily papers are to be relied on,
the discovery of John Gilmore, an
Altoona (Pa.) cobbIer, is likely to
revolutionize the fuel business. AL
most every householder in Altoona
is now converting his ashes into fuel
with great saving in coal bills.
Several well-known chemists, i'm
mediately it was announced that
Gilmore had solved the problem of
obtaining heat from ashes, set to
work to try to discover the formula.
They were successful and here it is:
Common salt, one polnl; oxalic
acid, two ounces; water, one gallon.
Mix and moisten with it a mixture
containing one part coal and three
parts ashes. and a better fuel than
pure coal is obtained.
The ashes of anthracite coal burn
as readily as do those of bituminous
coal.
This mixture will, upon being
placed upon burning fire, fuse into
a cokelike mass and deposit but
little residue.
Gilmore, who discovered the Sc
cret and focused attention upon the
possibilities that lurked in the ashes,
says his patient will protect him in
his secret. While it is conceded that
Gilmore has conferred a great boor
upon humanity, it is feared that he
will not derive any tangible benefits
from his discovery.

The Minnesota legislature expired
by law yesterday. In passing laws
reducing railroad rates it has full
filled the party pledges made by
Republican candidates at the last
election to that extent, and on the
whole has made creditable record.
1t has stood out against two at
tempted raids on the state treas
ury- the capitol approach bill
and the state exposition scheme,
neither of which would have been
tolerated by the great majority of
the taxpayers of the state. 1t has
left some things undone, and in our
opinion the hostile attitude of the
alleged temperance committees in
the two houses to most Of the tenn
perance reform bills introduced, will
need a whole lot of explaining in the
next state campaign.

MORNING STARS.

The Methodist missionary women
met with Mrs. Hall on Broad street
last week, and were very Hospitality
entertained. There were nine Wis
itors present.
The program was also very inter-
estlng, being a description of the
Micronesian Islands, of which it
might truly be said, Every pros
pect pleases, and only man is vile"
A better day has dawned, the vile
ness is disappearing as the English
and American missionaries tell the
gospel truths. A very important
factor in this work were five boats,
all fifty named Morning Stars, "
and all built, equipped and sent out
by the Sunday school children of the
Congregationalist churches.
