steamer was compelled to put about and pick her up. Next went the tender, no attempt being made to recover it. Shortly after the skiff was lost, the yawl turned bottom up and broke loose. The seas being so high and the wind 60 bad, it was impossible to right the yawl, and it, too, was left to the mercy of the wa tsrs. Then the steamer headed for the lee of Rynda Island, but was soon com pelled to put about to pick up the little launch which again broke loose. Lee was reached, everything made fast, and then the deeimated feet "beat 1t" for town, nothing eventful occurring.

HORRIBLE
 EXPLOSION
Thousands of Tons of Dynamite Explode, Completely WrsCking
 Indiana City
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE KILLED
Three Hundred Men Buried Alive In 8
 Mine by Shock

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. l5.-Without a moments warning thousands of tons of dynamite that were stored in the ware houses of the Dupont Powder Company exploded here this morning. The en- tire town has been destroyed. The greatest loss of life will be in the schools, where the children of the men employed in the mills were attending classes, and in the factory proper. Buildings on every side have collapsed and nothing but great hole marks where the town stood this morning. The cause of the disaster will never be known. The re- port of the explosion was heard sixty miles away. Towns twenty miles dis. tant were shaken and residents thought they were passing through en earth quake.
 The force of the explosion has csved in the two coal mines, and three hun dred miners are sntombed. Rescuing parties attempted to affect ar entrance, but could not do 90 on account of the great fall of earth at the entrance. Air, if possible, will be forced into the shaft to keep the men alive. An appeal has been sent to Terra Haute for relief.
 The most pathetic scenes are witness. ed on all sides. Mothers and fathers hunt the ruins of what wss once the public school. looking for traces of their children, while at the mouth of the coal mine scores of weeping women are con- gregated while ths attempt at rescue of entom bed men is being carried on by the night shift of miners.

A Chance as Of Masic.

The weather conditions of ten days
past have caused eountenances of farm
ers to change like magic Where there
were long and sober faces there is now
broad smiles and hope is restored for a
good tobacco crop. Plant beds have
developed wonderfully fast and many
growers have been busy as bees setting
wei! developed plants. The close of
this week viii fine good per cent of
the acreage transplanted.
The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter says
of conditions throughout the state: The
first real summer weather of the sea-
son, such as gives crops the long looked
for boom, has been with us the greater
portion of the week. So sudden tran
sition from cool days to mid summer
heat has given such impetus TO plant
life that much of the lateness of the
season has already been overcome. The
plant beds pave shot up with an amazing
growth that tobacco growers find they
must work long hours to prepare their
fields in advance of their needs in trans
planting. BY the close of this week a
good start win have been made in the
planting of the 1907 crop. The extreme
heat of midday, however, has not been
quite as favorable for the transplanting
| as growers desire, but they are making
the best of the opportunity in putting
out the crop. They find that the plants
have acquired an exceptionally fine root
during the time they were making slow
progress, which will be very much in
their favor when transplanted to the
fields, as it should take less time to
overcome the shock in transplanting.
1t is already evident there will be q
shortage of plants of sufficient size to
get out the contemplated acreage within
the ordinary limits of the planting sea
son, but just how much a decrease can
not be determined at this time.
