One thousand pounds of dynamite
exploded, and the bodies of the vic
tins were hurled hundreds of feet and
so badly mutilated as to be almost
beyond recognition.
The Callahan Road Improvement
company furnishes crushed stone for
road building. The preparations for
the blast had been going on for six
weeks. Thirteen holes as feet deep
had been drilled at points about 20
feet back of the big quarry, and the
explosion OF the dynamite with which
they were to be loaded was expected
to displace 10000 tons Of rock. over
5000 pounds of dynamite we're to

The workmen had placed 5O0.pound
charges in six of the holes and were
working on the seventh when a per.

charged. A terrific explosion followed
which hurled tons of rock into the
air and scattered the bodies of the
victims in all directions. The officers
were standing near by at the time,
directing the work.

Miss FaIkenhseh says Girls Mlstreat.
ed at Industrial School.

Columbus, o., May 1S.-Miss Lydia
Falkenbach of this city, a teacher of
vocal music at the Girls Industrial
school at Delaware, has resigned her
position. Following her resignation
she called upon Governor Harmon
and made complaints refecting on
the management of the institution.
Miss Falkenbach charged that Fran.
kie Emmons, an 1S-year-old girl who
had been sent to the school from Gin
cinnati had been i'll treated by a man
connected with the home, and her
charge, II true, would cause a scandal
at the institution, as they are OF a
more sensational nature than any yet
mentioned in connection with the
home.
One charge was that Mary Skal-
lock, a 15-year-old Columbus girl, who
was suffering from tuberculosis. had
not received proper medical care, as
was disclosed when she ran away 10
days ago and was found in Columbus
by the probation officer. Other com.
plants were of too severe punish.
ments.
Governor Harmon declined to dis.
cuss Miss Falkenbach's talk with him.
Superintendent Dye said over the tel.
ephone there was no truth in the
complaint that the Emmons girl had
been abused or mistreated in any
way. He said the Skallock girl had
been given the best Of medical atten-
tion. He also said a report that a
whip made of cords was used at the
school was untrue, and that the
switchings administered were prob
ably not as severe as those the re-
porter had received from his mother
in his youth.

ECZEMA LODGES IN THE SKIN
Not a Blood Disease-Cured by
Oil Of Wintergreen Compound

For many years eczema was sup
posed to be a blood disease and
was enormously treated as such, bu;
now the best authorities agree that
eczema is only a skin disease and
must be cured through the skin.
The eminent skin specialist, DR..
d. ID. Dennis, first discovered the
eczema germ and his discovery was
quickly taken up in both Germany
and France.
To kill the eczema germ and at
the same time heal the skin, DIR,
Dennis compounded oil OF winter
green, thymol, glycerine, etc. The
remedy is a liquid, not a mere salve
hence II sinks right into the pores
OF the skin. Washing with this oil
of wintergreen compound seems to
take the itch away at once; soon
the scales drop away and the dis
ease disappears Chas. Schmidt &
Co. The prescription has now been
used go long as TO have proven
its absolute merit and We do not
hesitate TO expFess our confidence
in ID. d. d. Prescription as used
with d. D. d. soap.

Outgoing Mails Stranded but Tele.
graph Bureau Continues to Operate
as UsuaI--Strikers Hold Meeting,
but Enthusiasm Is Lacking.
Paris, May 13.-The first day Of the
postal strike passed peacefully. No
disturbances were reported, and the
movement appears not to have gained
ground. The services in Paris and
throughout the provinces, with the
exception of that of the railway mail
clerks, are normal, and as a result
there has been no need to take ad-
vantage Of the preparations made by
the various business organizations
and commercial bodies to carry on a
private letter service.
The cabinet summarily dismissed
22S men under the decree issued on
March Is, which authorized the dis
charge of strikers from the state ser.
vice and made other provisions for
dealing with recalcitrants The min.
listers are very confident that the re-.

the agitaltou WiH nave the effect Of
crushing the movement.
The leaders of the strike expert
enced another discouragement in the
failure of the miners congress at
Lens to vote sympathetic strike, and
up to the present none of the trades
unions has made sign of joining the
movement
Official figures place the number Of
strikers in Paris at 465 out Of 1000.
Owing to the detection of a majority
Of the mail clerks, the outgoing mails
are more or less stranded. The hot
bed of the previous revolt, the Cen
trail Telegraph bureau, is very quiet,
the night shift reporting for duty as
usual.
The postal employees held a mass
meeting, which. however, was not so
well attended as that Of the previous
evening. and adopted a resolution to
continue the strike with unabated
vigor. 1t was announced that the
number Of strikers was growing rap
idly, both in Paris and the provinces,
an instance being given of the mail
clerks on the Lyons mail, who had
quit on the road.
Two detachments of naval mechan-
ics, summoned from Brest by the
minister of marine, have arrived here
and are now stationed in the machine
rooms Of the central postoffice and
the central telegraph bureau. The no.
tel Keepers union have arranged to
take the mail of their foreign guests
TO Brussels, from which point It will
be sent abroad. They also are devils
ing a scheme for the delivery of the
incoming mail.

anticipated no trouble in the island.
