BOILER BURSTS AT DENVER GAS
& ELECTRIC COMPANY'S
PLANT.
FOUR PERSONS KILLED
THE EXPLOSION SHUTS OFF CITY
LIGHTS AND STOPS USE OF
MACHINERY.

Denver.-Four persons were killed
outright and half dozen bruised and
maimed-three fatally-when one OF
the huge 150-horsepower boilers eX-
ploded and broke from its foundation
at the Denver Gas and Electric Com
pany power plant, Sixth and Lawrence
streets, just after O'Clock Tuesday
evening. and sailed like a balloon into
the air to come crashing through an
other section of the building, 100 feet
away. few moments later The loss
to the company is nearly 100000.
In the course of the twenty-ton mass
OF iron and steel travelled death and
destruction. The powerful pressure of
steam sent the boiler high in the air.
nearly 200 feet 1t drove the bottom
head Of the big tank deep in the
earth. Tons OF masonry were 1ammed
in every direction.
The firemen and water tenders
standing by its side were crushed into
shapeIass mass. Flying blocks of
masonry and scalding jets OF steam
caused the injuries to those farther
away. In the path OF the flying mis-
siles was five-year-old Joseph PERI,
who was standing In the yard Of his
own home. near the plant. He was
killed outright.
Freed from its foundation the boiler
flew into space AS 1t left its moor
ings the massive frame jumped over
the companion boiler and veered In its
flight. Careering slightly like bal
loon. the boiler descended with tre-
mendous force in the farther corner of
the building. The roof was like tis-
sue paper In its path. Iron girders
bent like twigs. Heavy steel castings
were broken or cracked as II they
were egg-shells.
A seeming miracle 1t was that saved
the men In the dynamo rooms. A score
OF them heard the noise OF the explo-
sion. Another second and they were
frightened by the crash on the roof
and all hurried to the doors. escaping
the tons OF steel and iron that came
hurtling down In the identical places
which they had just deserted. This
was the wreck Of the power plant
the first explosion had left unscathed
engines and dynamos, and 1t was only
when the boiler struck the ground
again that the plant was put out of
commission. Costly dynamos were
wrecked. machinery which had cost
thousands to install was bent and
broken and the city OF Denver was left
for a time in darkness

Two Marks Of Beauty.

Beautiful eyes and brows are, IL
one sense. special gift of nature.
Many plain woman is redeemed by
fine eyes; many a pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed. dull. lusterless eyes.
But at TIE same time a great deal may
be done to make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful.
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon to do great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed he dull
eyes of person afflicted with dyspep-
sia, the yellow tinge of overfeeding

CHAPTER xI.

None Of the ladies relaxed at Yer
mons approach. Mrs. Overman Hodge
Lathrop least OF all. On the contrary
she seemed to swell into proportions
that were colossal and terrifying, and
when Vernon came within her sphere
of influence his manner at once sub
dued itself into an apology.
why. Amelia - Mrs. Hodge-La-
throp," he cried, land Mrs. Standish,
Mrs. Barbourton Mrs. Trales, Mrs.
Langdon-how do you do?"
He went, of course. straight to Mrs.
Overman Hodge-Lathrop's side. the
side that sheltered Amelia. and he
tried to take the hands Of both women
at once. Amelia gave him hers coldly,
without word and without a look. He
grew weak, inane, and laughed un-
easily.
Delightful morning" he said. this
country air down here is"

Hodge-Lathrop. severely, take that
seat at the foot of the table"
He obeyed. meekly. The ladies, he
thought, from the rustic of their skirts,
withdrew themselves subtly.
, Vernon shrank
Morley Vernon Mrs. Overman
Hodge-Lathrop continued, do you
know what have notion to do?"
NO, Mrs Hodge Lathrop," he said
in a very little voice.
We'll, sir, I've notion to give you
a good spanking"
Vernon shot glance at her.
"Oh, you needn't look, sir she con-
tinued, you needn't look. 1t wouldn't
be the first time, as you well know
and it isn't so many years ago-and l
have your mothers full permission,
too
The chain OF ladylike sympathy that
passed about the table at this declara-
ton was broken only when its ends
converged on Vernon. Even then they
seemed to pinch him.
Your poor, dear mother Mrs
Overman Hodge-Lathrop went on, "in-
sisted. indeed. on coming down her
self, but l knew she could never stand
such trip. l told her" and here Mrs.
Overman Hodge-Lathrop paused for an
instant. Il told her that l thought
could manage"
There was vast significance in this
speech.
The waiter had brought the substan-
tials to the ladies', and Mrs. Overman
HodgeLathrop began eating deter
minedly.
1T was. of course, just what had
always predicted" she went on. in a
staccato that was timed by the rise of

itics would inevitably corrupt you,
soon or late. And now it has brought
you to this"
TO what?' asked Vernon suddenly
growing bold and reckless. Amelia
had not given him one glance; she
was picking at her chop.
Mrs. Oyerman Hodge-Lathrop, rails
ing her gold glasses and setting them
aristocratically on the bridge of her
nose. fixed her eyes on Vernon.
Morley she said, we know We
have heard and we have read. The
Chicago press is an institution that,
fortunately, still survives in these
iconoclastic days. You know very
well, of course, what l mean. Please
do not compel me to go into the re-
voting particulars" She took her
glasses down from her nose as II that
officially terminated the matter.
But really, Mrs. Hodge-Lathrop,"
said Vernon. He was growing angry,
and then, too, he was conscious some
how that Miss Greene was looking at
him. His waiter. John. timidly ap-
preached with glance at the awful
presence of Mrs. Overman Hodge
Lathrop. and said:

We can cure Dyspepsia. We are
so confident of this fact that We guar
antee a cure and promise to supply
the medicine free Of cost to everyone
who Will use it, who is not perfectly
satisfied with the results which it
produces. We exact no promises and
put no one under any obligations
whatever. Surely, nothing could be
fairer. We are located right here in
Newberry, and our reputation should
be sufficient assurance of the genuine
ness of our offer.
We want everyone in Newberry
who is troubled with Indigestion or
Dyspepsia in any form to come to our
store and get box Of Rexall Dyspep-
sia Tablets. Take them home and give
them a reasonable trial according to
directions. They are very pleasant
to take; they soothe the irritable
stomach, strengthen and invigorate
the digestive organs, promote a
healthy and natural bowel action,
immediately relieve nausea and al
stomach irritation, produce perfect
and Lea':hy digestion and assinlil'-
ton and promote nutrition.
A 25 cent package Of Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets furnishes Is days
treatment. In ordinary cases, this IS
sufficient to produce a clre. In more
chronic cases, longer t"e'iment, OF
course, is necessary, and depends
upon the severity Of the trouble. For
such cases, we have two larger sizes
which sell for Is cents and 80 cents.

PIANO RECITAL.
At the Opera House Friday Evening
by Prof. Landrum.

Prof. Landrum, the great pianist,
will appear in the opera house on
Friday evening the 18th.
Prof. Landrum plays with a capti-
waiting grace and his recitals are very
artistic. He appeared in the music
world quite early, giving his first per-
formance at the age Of seven. For
ten years he studied under fine Ger
man professors; and in addition to
this he is naturally an artist.
In Augusta he is the noted Ponce
de Leon concert pianist. He was
chosen at Tampa out from many mu-
sicians as pianist for Bryan day and
William Jennings Bryan said Of him.,
He is an artist, indeed. : This was
high praise from IN. who had heard
the best performers Of many lands.
Don't miss this rare musical treat.
The proceeds from these recitals are
for the purpose Of a special course
in the Northern conservatories.

seventh year. Her maiden name was
Merchant. She was first married to a
Mr. Jennings, by whom she had three
daughters. Next, to James Perry, by
whom she had five daughters and one
son, our well-known townsman, Thos.

This good woman mothered the
whole neighborhood and was loved
far and near, by rich and poor, white
and black. The unusually large at
tendance at her funeral was touch
ing evidence Of her great popularity
She died of heart dropsy and was
buried at Bethany Church, Of which
she had long been a devoted and con-
sistent member.
On her seventy-ffth birthday she
had family reunion at the old home
stead, two miles from Perry's Cross
Roads.
There were five generations repre-
sented, and over two hundred people
present.

lift burdens from many a troubled
heart, will ever live in the hearts and
memory of those who knew and loved
her. =: ..:..
Her beautiful Life was worthy Of
emulation, and was a blessing and
