Margery hall was beautifully dec
GRATED in school colors, pennants
and flowers for the occasion. The
guests were given most hearty well
come. and the program of amuse-
ments provided was pleasing to all.
A novel guessing game created much
amusement. Guy Steele and Miss
Carroll were the winners of the first
favor.
A delightful musical program was
carried out and several short adj
dresses were made, and then many
old-time games We're played.
The banquet room was even more
resplendent in it's decorations than
the big hall. The class colors-or-
ange and green,-Japanese lanterns
flowers and potted plants we're en-
ployed in making the scene enchant-
ing. Ices and other refreshments
were daintily served.
The seniors proved themselves ad'
mirable hosts and hostesses, and none
who were present will not have any
memories other than pleasant mem
ories of the occasion.

HAVE MUCH FRUIT.

If nothing further happens to our
fruit crop, Montrose is going to
have a good fruit crop all the way
down the line-even some apricots, n
crop which heretofore had been Civ
en- out as practically wiped out. We
make our predictions from the re-
ports coming in from time to time,
these reports being more encourag-
ing each day until the fruit grower
has really become jubilant over the
prospects. One orchardist- that we
have heard of, has even gone so far
as to say that he fears that he will
be compelled to thin out his apples
yet From reports from other fruit
sections 1T appears that the Mont
rose locality has been really a IA
vored spot. While other sections
have been able to save a portion of
their crops by smudging. Montrose
has come out with a good prospect
for almost full crop of apples.
pears and cherries, Notwithstanding
very few resorted to smudging.-

that the tornado crossed the Arkansas
river Just south of Piney and that
timber tracts and a number of build
ings were destroyed. Piney is located
near London where first reports stated
SO much damage had been done.
Late reports from Berryville are to
the effect that no one was killed
there. but that three were injured.
1t Is reported at Van Buren, that
five persons were killed northeast OF
Mulberry and number injured. Be-
cause of the remoteness Of the towns
mentioned from the railroad and tele-
graph, only the most meagre reports
are yet available.
Dispatches also say that the towns
OF Wallerville end Jethro, in Franklin
county. were practically demolished,

Through Debris.

NoW AOTA' NOV. ZV.- TWENTY-FIVE
persons are believed to ha,. lost their
lives In an explosion Of gas which tore
up great section Of Gold street.
Brooklyn. today. 1t is definitely known
that 10 persons were buried under the
hundreds OF tons Of earth and timber
that were thrown into the air by the
explosion. and 10 more persons are
reported az missing. The exact num-
Ger Of dead can not be determined
until tomorrow. for those working to
recover the entombed bodies must dig
through so feet OF dirt. rock and q
tangle Of pipes and timbers.
The explosion occurred In an exca-
vation 80 feet deep that had been made
In Gold street between York and Front
streets. whore . water main was being
laid. The gas main recently sprung q
leak and In q manner unknown q
spark came In contact with escaping
gas today. Immediately there was q
terrific explosion that lifted the sur
face Of tho street for half a block in
both directions and hurled dirt. paw
Ing stones and debris into the air.
When the smoke and dust cleared
away II was seen that the street had
been opened from doorstep to door
step over an area OF nearly q block.
The ioosened earth and debris had
fallen into the excavation. burying the
score Of laborers who were at work
when the accident happened. Great
tongues Of flames shot out of crevices
In the street and between them gey-
sers of water spurted into the air from
water main that had been shattered i
by the explosion. Two bodies were
sticking out OF the wreckage.
Gold street was crowded with school
children when the explosion occurred,
and that scores Of children were not
killed or injured was remarkable. A
woman and three children were al
most opposite the excavation when
the earth crumbled under their feet
and they were swept down into the
hole under tons Of ,wreckage. Two
other children were on the opposite
side fthe street when the street
caved In and they lost their lives.
Samuel Trout. foreman OF the gang
of laborers who were laying the water
main. was near the woman and three
children who lost their lives. AS he
felt the street tremble he rushed for
ward In an endeavor to save them,
but he lost his life In the attempt.
Trout's body was roasted to a cinder.
Only four Of the men working in
the excavation escaped and their es-
cape was remarkable. They were dig
ging near the opening Of a four-foot
sewer and the force OF the explosion
blew them to the entrance of It.
Arthur Strand was hurled farthest and
he pulled the other three men after
him.
Water from the broken main began
to pour into the sewer and the four
men. In danger of being drowned,
started to run toward the river. where
there was an outlet to the sewer.
The explosion shook houses for
blocks around. Thousands Of persons
were attracted to the scene.
