GAS EXPLOSION
WRECKS PLANT
POWER SUPPLY OF MILWAUKEE
NORTHERN CUT OFF
BY ACCIDENT.

Port Washington, Wis, Nov. IA
With a terrific noise which could be
heard for miles, the gas tanks at the
power plant of the Milwaukee North
ern Electrical Railway company ex-
ploded at II o'clock yesterday noon,
putting the generators out of commits
sion and tying up traffic on the inter
urban road.
Fortunately there was little gas in
the tanks when the explosion oc-
CURED, and save for the wrecing of
these two structures, no other dam
age was done. In explaining the
cause of the explosion, one of the men
in charge of the station declared that
the supply of gas had run low. caus-
ing tremendous thrush of air. The
tanks were raised to their full height
by tbs heavy pressure and the explo-
son followed. The movable compart.
ments came down with crash. THE
monetary loss is not known, but II
will be heavy unless the company can
secure other power to operate its
Sheboygan-M cars.
The power plant of the Milwaukee
Northern road is operated by gas
power engines. There were two tanks
for the gas made in the company
own furnaces, and this, in turn, was
used in operating the high pressure
engines for the dynamoes. At
o'clock yesterday afternoon, officials
of the company had arrived in the
city and stated that they expected te

His majesty was transferred to the

Empress Also Dying.
1t is also reported that the dowager
empress is dying.
This rumor, if true, would explain
the two edicts issued late yesterday
afternoon regarding a regency for the
empire.
The foreign residents of Pekin are
confused by the sudden developments
Iof yesterday and the various reports
and rumors emanating from the pal

obtain any confirmation officially OF
the reported death OF the emperor
and the condition of the dowager EN-
press.
There is a certain amount OF sus

transpiring. 1t is believed that the
government will utilize the dying con

already dead, to screen the condition

In company with his brother and
sister, little Peter was going home,
after a visit to the shipping yards OF
the Pabst Brewing company. They
were coming from the east. The three
children ran directly in front OF the
car. A stranger saw the danger OF
the trio, and grabbed Joseph, and with
quick jerk pulled him from in front
of the car. A yell caused Viola to
jump, and the car passed by her.
Peter was struck and fell under the
front fender. The front wheel rested
on his neck.
1t is said the fender on the car
failed to work fast enough to scoop up
the body After the accident an at

ON THE
RAGGED EDGE
WHETHER HE REMAINS IN OF.
ficE DEPENDS UPON DIS
POSITION OF EMPEROR.

Berlin, Nov. 14.-Chancellor Won
Buelow and his friends are so prepar-
ing the political situation that if the
chancellor should retire after his au
dience at Kiel next Monday with EN-
peror William, it will be because his
majesty was not willing TO concur in
the declaration made in the reichstag
by the chancellor Tuesday that it
was essential that the emperor be
more reserved in his utterances In
the future. Buelow has taken the po-
sition that he represents the entire
people on this question and that be-
cause of this he is bound to interpret
the national will to the sovereign,
standing or falling by his decision.
While it cannot be said that Bue-
low has taken counsel with all the I'M
perial ministers, he has been in con-
sultation with some of them, and they
support him actively.
The Impression among intimates OF
the chancellor is that he has no great
desire to remain in Office. His wife,
since his illness in 1906, often has
urged him to retire to private life
and his physician is constantly advis-
ing him not to work so hard.

the New York senatorship there is
no doubt that he will accept the po-
sjtion if it comes to him without an

position to- know, assert that the sec
rotary feels that the honor of an cleo
ton to the senate is a very great one,
and if the people of New York con-
clude that Roots services are desired
in that capacity, he would regard it
as duty to accede to their wishes
and accept the position.

special bodyguard, sitting about eight
feet away, could make move, there
was fash and loud report rang
through the courtroom.
For a moment everybody seemed
stunned and paraly0ed. The would-be
assassin, whose revolver was within a
foot and half OF Heney's head when
he pulled the trigger, stepped back,
his arms by his side, one hand still
clutching the smoking pistol as if he
hesitated what to do. For fraction
of a second an impressive silence
followed the report and a panic fol
lowed Half the people, evidently
fearing further shooting, made frantic
rushes for the doors. Before Haas
could raise his pistol again, Foley and
E. ]. Wfskotchill. special policeman,
were upon him, threw him to the
floor and wrested the weapon from
his grasp. He struggled hard, but
was dragged to the jury box, thrown
on his back and held there, just as
the jury, attracted by the shot, came
bursting through their private en-
trance
Heney arose to his chair, put his
hands to his head, the blood stream
ing through his fingers and Redeemed
the table in front of him, leaned over
a moment and was caught as he be-
gan to fall He was laid on the floor,
Charles oliver and John Foley, two
special detectives connected with the
district attorneys office, holding his
head out of the pool of blood which
flowed from a hole which appeared
to be just below the right temple
He was conscious, and when the AS
ISOLATED Press representative stopped
down by his side, and spoke to him
his first words were:
"Send for my wife,
! DR.. H. A. Fincks, who was in the
courtroom at the time, rushed to
Heney's side, made a hasty examina
tion and pronounced him fatally
wounded.
Heney was perfectly composed. He
believed he was fatally hurt, and ex
pressed a desire to make dying
statement. He said:
81 was sitting at my table when
felt what thought was blow. I dc
not know who shot rue. | was doing
nothing to anyone"
laeuf and his attorneys, who were
out on the sidewalk, were startled by
the report and started for the court
room, but were forced down the
steps by the crowd rushing frantic
ally out, and the police refused to ad
NIT them. When told what had hap
pened, Reuf demanded to know wht
/ did it, and Immediately ordered hi:
chauffeur to get the nearest physician
Report of the attempted assassin
alton spread throughout the city lik'
wildfire and caused intense excite
ment and indignation. An immens'
crowd gathered around the court
house There was no hostile demon
stration in the big crowd, but som
threatening rumors began to be heard
Reuf was surrounded by large nun
Der of people and quietly slippe

had disappeared, but he soon afte
appeared in the courtroom, and t

fruit LOSS
WILL REACH
100000

A careful canvass of the fruit situa-
tion in Fremont county last evening
and today reveals the fact that ths
loss to the growers throughout the
county will almost reach the enor-
nous sum Of $1,000 900. There was
only one place in the county that es-
capped the ravages of the freeze and
that Was Beaver creek. where
probably half the crop WAS saved
by smudging. The loss is doubly
As large as that Of last year OH ac-
oount Of SO many young orchards
just beginning to bear this spring
and also the fact that the old bear
ing trees germiDated heavy. While
there is an attempt in some parts OF
the county to conceal the extent of
the damage to the fruit. the fact re.
mains that nearly every fruit bud In
the county, including every variety
of fruit. was killed. And those buds
which we're not killed Saturday night
were frozen last night.
1t is one of the worst calamites
that has ever befallen the county, es.
pecially the fruit growers, but all
,s
quence.. There will be few ex-
tremely late apples In this case
the buds had not opened and there
was no stem yet behind the bud.
There will also be few cherries, but
the reason these we're saved is the
same why the late apples escaped.
The first crop of strawberries perish
ed, but the second crop will come on
in due time. Where the peach trees
had not yet bee:i lifted and the bloom
exposed to the elements, there will
be peaches, but peach trees that were
standing and exposed show the effects
Of the frost. All small berries. such
as raspberries currents, etc. are prac-
tically total loss, but there will be
a few Of each where the leaves shelf
cred them. There will not be enough
for very many pies, however. Pears
are gone with the rest of the fruit
and so have the plums, both wild and
cultivated.
A careful inventory of the fruit
made last week showed that the
crop Of apples in the county this year

would approximate At least l. 800 car
loads or 100, 900 boxes. These boxes
Of fruit average about 81 a box and
thereof the loss 10 about $3.50. 600.
The first crop Of Strawberries would
have nettad the growers about $20. 900.
Hundreds Of acres Of new orchard
would have yielded this year for the
first time and it is we'll known fact
that there were three times as many
blossoms on each apple tree than
common and that II tile fruit had
developed the crop would have been
30 heavy that the limbs would have
been broken with the heavy weight.
There are some few trees that do not
show yet that they have been damag-
ed, but fruit growers say that when
the sun shines hot in the next day
or two that the damage will show up
when the fruit drops to the ground
There Is hope entertained all over
the county that there will yet be
partial crop, but there is little II any
evidence shown today where there
will be much of one. On Beaver
creek, it is said there will be about
half a crop of apples and there may
be few ON the Hardscrabble. All
the fruit was not killed there last
year, but the apples as rule were
very wormy. Garden truck suffered
with the fruit, but this can hardly
be counted as great loss as the
ground can be replanted and there Is
still plenty Of time foI the making
of big crop Of vegetables. The
fruit growers, after losing their fruit
last year, turned their attention to
general gardening and part of their
loss was recouped in this manner.
Hundreds of thousands of tomato
plants we're set out and there was a
ready market for the entire crop. as
tomatoes we're preserved by the WON.
en- in place of fruits
This Ia the third consecutive year
that the fruit crop has been lost in
Fremont and the total loss to the
growers for the three seasons ia esti-
mated at over 81, 0OO.0 600. The loss in
the fall of 1906 was due entirely to
the growers own negligence, they
having left the apples hang on the
trees for better color. On the
twentieth Of October a snow sto rm
came and the crop estimated at
$500, 900 perished. In a few instances
the growers shook the apples from
the trees into the deep snow and
saved hundreds of dollars worth.
Last years loss was fully half a
million and this year the amount
Is double.
Even the more hardy varieties of
vegetables suffered. Peas, which
will stand u great deal Of cold, froze.
The thermometer registered twenty
six above zero. or six below freezing
Saturday night and last night it WAS
twenty eight. but this is the danger
point. II n high WING had not been
blowing Saturday night large por-
tion of the crop could have been saw
ed on Lincoln park rs the growers
were out nearly all night burning
smudges but the wind blew the smoke
away and the heat came to the bloom.
The loss is bound to GO hard with the
Lincoln park orchardists, as many of
them have their places mortgaged
and may lose them now. 1t is said
the merchants of Canon City have
extended liberal credit to them, hop
ing that they would be ablc to pay
this year, but the outcome now is not
