Being Blown In Opposite Direction.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 16.-Eight
persons were reported dead and from
IL to 20 others injured, some of them
perhaps fatally, as the result of the
explosion of a car Of dynamite at
Windsor, Mo-, Tuesday. So much con-
fusion existed at Windsor that accu-
rate figures on the casualties were un-
obtainable up to late hour Tuesday
night. At a late hour the known
dead numbered six, as follows:
Frederick Yakes, depot agent of
Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway.
Dee Hall Of Windsor, drayman.
An unknown tramp.
Two unknown men.
An unknown laborer.
Two Horribly ManaIed.
Yakes and Dee Hall, the latter a
drayman, were the most horribly
mangled, though many received bro
ken bones and were terribly cut.
The injured were made up of the
usual crowd commonly found about
the railway station of the small town
at train time, some of the draymen
and depot employees, there on bust
ness; few passengers bound for
nearby towns and many others who
had come to see the train come in
The explosion occurred without warn
ing and the victims had no opportu-
nifty to escape. 1t was of such force
that 1t tore great hole in the ground
where the car stood, and hurled pieces
OF the wrecked car and the platform
In all directions. The town was shak-
en- as If by an earthquake and the
explosion was heard for radius of
so miles.
Many Placed In Peril.
Most of the wreckage fortunately
was sent in the opposite direction
from the platform and the depot and
to this fact alone may be laid the
small loss of life.
Unusual excitement followed the
explosion, but as quickly as possible
the dead and dying were carried to
nearby houses and cared for. The
telegraph wires were snapped by the
explosion, cutting off communication
by that means with outside. For this
reason the quick reporting of the dis
aster was delayed. AS soon as the
neighboring towns were apprised of
the catastrophe aid was sent in from
a half dozen places.

t is this:
We lay us down to sleep.
And leave to God the rest;
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care?
The grave is cool and low
Have we found life so fair
That We should dread to go?
We've kissed loves sweet, red lips,
And left them sweet and red:
The rose the wild bee sips
Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found;
But they who love us best.
When we are under ground
Will laugh on with the rest.
No task have we begun
But other hands can take,
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake.
Then hold us fast, sweet Death,
II so II seemeth hest
To Him who gave US breath
That We should go to rest.
We lay US down to sleep;
Our weary eyes we close;
Whether to wake and weep d.
Or wake no more, He knows.

Saved His Molasses.

A traveller came along to the gate
of a humble cabin in a town in Al
ALBANIA just as an old negro handed
a couple of jugs to his son, who was
about ten years of age, and said,
"Now, Julius, yo' gwan down to de
grocery an git quart O treacle in
one OBJ dem jugs an hurry back. I"
When the boy had gone the traveller
said to the father:
"You didn't tell him to get any
thing in the other jug. Is he going
to leave it at the grocery"
"No, sab; gwan to bring it right
back home," he replied.
''But why send two jugs to get a
quart of treacle"
'Tt's jes' G;s way, sab: If he has
a jug in each hand, he can't 60 dip
pin his finger in the treacle an eat
in it as he comes along."-Detroit

JELLYFISH.
One Of tho Peculiar Forms Of the Anf-
NAL Life of the Sea.


Upon the sand at the waters
edge there lies particle of jelly
like substance, inconspicuous and
almost invisible. But in early spring
one moves in such world of won
ders, the merest atoms of tissue
are seen to be informed with such
varied and vivid life, that | lift the
particle carefully upon a shell and
drop it into jar of water to see
strange embodiment, a beautiful
transformation. The central mass
expands into a double chambered
bell of pure and transparent ves-
ture, and these gossamer globes be-
gin to contract with regular rhyth-
mic motion, lifting the creature up
ward and softly urging it forward
by their quickly repeated pulsa-
tions, while from below four grad
ually lengthening tentacles trail
backward with graceful undulations.
This beautiful medusa, the Sarsia
mirabilis, is the earliest of our jelly
fishes to appear in spring. BY its
pleasing and graceful form, by its
eager and tireless movements, it
seems to visit our shores at this sea-
son almost like an Ariel of the deep,
voiceless, it is true. but throbbing
with its message that the oceans
submerged shores and its dark abys-
NAL chasms are all alike awakening
to the spirit that transforms the
upper world. One is at a loss to
comprehend these creatures, 80 diff
ferent in form from any that we are
wont to associate with animal life,
for, although without head, they
are vet capable Of sensing the light
and auditory vibrations. Without
hands, arms or sntennae, they are
yet responsive to tactile impressions
and, although of such fragile and
gossamer texture, are yet the vehi-
Gle of vivid and intensive life. The
movements of the body and the
contained impulses that prompt
them seem one and indivisible. The
desires of it's being seem themselves
to urge it forward. Like thought
it seems momentarily embodied or
an emotion precjpitated into the
visible as it impulsively mounts up
ward in eager quest or in apparent
disappointment relaxes its efforts
and subsidies with all its drifting
a-stream, only after a
moment to palpitate again with re-
freshed intention and slowly pulse
on its softly insistent way.-H. J.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS
Hon. Edward r. Haley Issues an Appeal 10
Second District Voters

Hon. Ed. F. Haley, republican
nominee for congress from this dis
trict, not being able to meet as
many of the.voters as he desired te
during the campaign, has issued
the following appeal to the voters
for their help next Tuesday:
1T has been impossible for me
to call personally on each Of you;
therefore, as the republican nomi-
nee for congress, permit me to say
that 1 will. consider it personal
favor if you will give me your
active support, not only by voting
for me, but by asking your friends
to vote for me at the election Tues
day next, November 8.
II stand squarely on the repub-
lican national platform, which
means good prices, good wages,
a square deal for all, the farmer,
the wage Garner, the business man,
and for the enactment Of such laws
as will bring the greatest good to
the greatest number of our citizens.
while the election of Hon. W.
Fl. Taft as president is practically
conceded, and, as he is unqualified
ly pledged to, in so far as possible,
make practically effective the re-
forms which the Roosevelt admin
istration has inaugurated, and upon
the value and benefcence of which
all parties are agreed, it is essential
that we have as large a majority as
possible in congress.
1T is an admitted fact that a
member of the majority in congress
is in a much better position to Sc
cure recognition for the district he
represents than a member of the
minority. therefore as a business
as well as a political proposition
I solicit your support at the polls,
pledging at all times my best ef-
forts for the second congressional
district of Missouri"
