opus "a, No. l, of Chopin, which was
preceded by a description of the motif
of the music told in Mrs. Clark's W

ing bird i%nterlude.

faculty of the university was not pres
ent," described and played The Battle
of Manassas" The Music Box and
The Hayseed Dance" while the chill
dren laughed or were serious as if the
music were words. The last selection
of Mrs. Clark was the pretty Dance"

Several pounds of powder and about
800 pounds OF dynamite were de-
stroyed at Buford last night, the pow
der exploding and the dynamite burn
ing. The Union Pacific powder house
at the gravel pits and one car in the
powder house were destroyed, the x
plosion breaking eleven telegraph
wires for a distance of more than 100
feet, entirely severing telegraphic COM
m%unication between this city and Chey-
enne for the time being. Otto Claus
sen of this city went to Buford last
night and soon had the broken wires
repaired. No damage was done to the
track, but trains were held during the
progress of the fire to prevent the pos
sihility of damage from the explosion
of the dynamite.

did not explode, burning when the
powder house and car burned. The
powder house is situated some dis
lance away from any other buildings,
and there was no other damage done.

warned in time and made their escape

fed shortly after the accident and kept
