TWO LIVES LOST
IN EXPLOSION OF
POWDER HOUSES
Otto Webbing and Charles
Weeks Blown to Atoms in
Sioux Falls Catastrophe.

Sioux Falls, s. D., Oct. Tit is now
definitely known that Otto Webbing,
aged 10, and Charles Weeks, aged IA,
were victims OF the explosion of two
powder houses southeast OF this city.
Saturday morning, when in some an
ner 5000 pounds OF dynamite and sew
eral tons OF powder were exploded and
the country Jared as by an earthquake
over a territory having a radius Of 20
miles.
The remains ot the two boys were
scattered for a distance OF 1000 yards,
in various directions from the scene of
the explosion, and could be identified
only by some small shreds OF clothing,
thas bodies being literally torn to frag-
ments.
Where the powder houses stood, an
excavation was made deep enough for
"a basement and more than so feet in
diameter.
A coroner's jury is hearing the tes-
dmony today, bearing on the awful
accident, but the generally accepted
theory is that the boys, while hunting
IN the vicinity OF the powder houses,
shot into them and the explosion was
the result. Theirs were nc eye Witness
es to the catastrophe, though the boys
were seen In the vicinity OF the powder
houses shortly before the explosion oc-

that water was oozing out of the
ground at a certain spot on his farm.
However, he paid no attention to 1t
and did not investigate the source of
the water until a day or two ago, when
himself and his hire man decided
to make an investigation and solTe the
mystery OF the water appearing where

STOCK SHIPMENTS EQUAL
THOSE OF LAST WEAR

Belle Fourche, s. D., Oct. 6.--Inroads
by the Milwaukee railroad on the north,
and the drouth OF the past summer
will reduce the number of cattle
shipped from this point this season tS
below the figure OF last year. In 1907
over LOO cars of cattle and sheep went
to market. from here, but this year il
is expected that the number will not
exceed 1900.
Other points in the western part OF
the state will make up the total, and
the shipments from the western half OF
South Dakota are expected to exceed
the number in 1907. Stockmen in Butte
county, where most OF the cattle and
sheep of western South Dakota are to
be. found, had an unusually dry, hot
Simmer and some cattlea We're, there
fore, held over for another year rather
than drive them over the ranges to
market. S@ f
While Belle Fourche continues to get
the larger part OF the shipping, many
small towns along the Milwaukee and
Northwestern railroads east of Rapid
City, have become good shipping

ATTACK, ON PINCHoT
BY COAL LAWYER

Albuquerque, N. M, Oct. 3.-The an
ticipated attack I'm the national irriga-
ton congress. on the administrations
forest policy and on Forest Commits
sioner Clifford Pinchot came ; in a
speech byD. c. Beamon, Of Denver. AT
the end of the address many questions
were asked him, one of them by John
J. F~airweather, OF. California, who
asked: rs it true that Mr.. Beaman is
the paid attorney of the Colorado Fuel
and, Iron company"
President Goudy ruled the question
out of order, but Nj. Beaman replied,
saying he had been the company s .at-
tOrney since it's organization, but the
company had no interest at stake in
the forest problem, and the policy of
the bureau in clicking up the coal
lands was OF vast benefit to the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company in that II
prevented competition from new coal
fields.
President Cloudy stated that he had
invited Mr.. Pinchot TO attend the CON
gress, hoping that a, debate could be
arranged between Mr.: Beaman and the
forester, but that Mr.. Pinchot had
found it impossible to attend. He
said, however. that ample time would
be given for reply and discussion.

of the company at Java.
salisbury pleaded guilty to- the
charge Of stealing the money ana

disliked to keep the money and checks
over night, and in this a Salisbury
had lathe money andN checks. The fol-
lowing morning, while Agent Cauley

package containing the. money and
checks under the pillow in his bed
room, Salisbury sneaked up and up-
p%ropriated the package to his own use.

vious 70 his capture he had left with a
merchant Of Eureka a plain envelope,
containing $500 OF the stolen money,
with instructions that the merchant
mail it to him at some point in North
Dakota. 80
A small sum in cash was found upon
his person and this and the 5000 in
the envelope was recovered The checks
had been thrown away in his haste to
make his escape, and were found the
following day on the prairie, where
they had been thrown. Nss

HOG SUIT RIVAL OF.
FAMOUS CALF CASE

Spokane. Wash. Oct. 5.-What gives
promise of rivaling h famous calf
case of legal history, has just developed
In the Nez Perez precinct, in northern
Idaho, where Justice of the Peace II. III
Pogue issued a warrant for the arrest
of a hog belonging to JIM. johnson,
charging the porker with d~isorderly
conduct, upon complaint or jacob Nor
ey, a neighbor.
The constable, to whom h warrant
was delivered, refused to make the ar
rest, and Morey killed the pig. Morey
alleged In his complaint that the hog
broke through his fences and destroyed
the crops. Johnson, was successful in
having the case carried to the court at
.Yollmer, Idaho, where Morey obtained
the verdict. The justice at Vollmer de-
cided that Johnson pay a fine of 81 and
$50 costs, and he has appealed to the
district court, where a lively legal bat
ttle will be fought,
The value OF the hog Is estimated to
be from So to So. There is also some
talk of proceeding against the constable
for refusing to do his duty in serving
the warrant upon the pig.

able &c save;it by splendid work. Two
other elevators and the electric light

more, and a splendid bucket brigade
rendered valuable service. The loss on
the elevators is about $12, 0Q0, and the
other losses will make IT $a4, 900. The

SOUTH DAKOTA IN NEED
OF AN ADVERTISING MAN

Pierre, S. D.. Oct. 5.-At the last
legislative session a small appropria-
ton was provided for the secretary
of the state board OF agriculture, with
headquarters wherever such secretary
might be located, for the purpose OF
advertising the state. This was q
compromise measure with those who
were insisting on the creation of the
Office OF commissioner OF immigration,
and supplying such officer, with funds
Tor properly advertising the state.
While the state has practically moth
ing to do with the present situation
in Trip county, outside inquiries are
coming every day to different state
departments. The land department
has no literature to send out, and the
clerk of the state board of agriculture
is not In a position to- handle the in
quiries ever II he were supplied with
the necessary means, which he Is not.
What the state needs is a commission
err at the capital. supplied with neces-
sary funds to advertise the state and
Its properly.
While the increased settlement west
of the river is driving out the wilder
animals, there Is yet complaint along
the Cheyenne river of d~epredations by
gray wolves, which kill young stock.
They will soon disappear through set
Element, but the coyote will stay for

Thought church, the cardinal doctrine
OF which is that any one may become
anything he wishes, was permanently
established in Brooklyn today.
Vpiceless, singing is TO be n of the
features of the New Thought services.
Mrs. Marsh explained. Believers In the
new thought are to be taught how to
sing with their eyes, and by so doing
their eyes viii be made perfect and
there Win no longer be need for spec
tacles. tk.H$9n
The sermon Will be Illustrated with
stereopticon views and the faithful will
abe told to sit! in silence and read the
verses to the accompaniment of music.
But the singing must all be done with
the eyes and the soul. There is no need
OF making d~iscordant noises in order to
sing, Mrs. Marsh believes. =
