Was a Very Hearty Sleeper.

One of our citizens had an awful
time one night recently, relates the
Cascade Pioneer. He and his little
son spent the day out on the farm.
During the afternoon his wife tele-
phoned that she would spend the
evening with neighbors who lived
several block from their home The
father and son arrived in town about
9 O'Clock and presuming that the
lady of the house was absent and had
taken the key to the door with her,
they went to the home of a nearby
neighbor About 1920 o'clock the
husband, thinking that his wife sure
ly must have returned by this time,
went over to the house, and after
lot of knocking and pounding, fail
ed to get any response from within,
and returned to the home of his
neighbor and continued an interest
ing game of "fiinch." About 1890
he again made a demonstration
around the premises and being ac-
corded no hearing began to think
that somebody must be having a dam
dy good time 20 stay out so late. He
returned to the finch game. About
1870 a. M, he again tried his luck
but this time was accompanied by the
parties to the finch game, and after
making noise like charivari party
serenading a stingy bridegroom, they
finally succeeded in arousing some
one within the building. 1t was the
good wife. She had been at home
and in bed since $50. After re-
covering from this shock the hus-
band returned to the neighbor's
house for his little son who was left
sleeping on the sofa. Carrying the
boy in his arms he returned home
and upon trying to gain entrance
was astonished that he was again
locked out. He pounded upon the
door, and called and yelled, but to
no avail, his wife was again in
dreamland. The noise he made
aroused the neighbors and they
again came to the scene of the trou-
BILE and assisted the excited husband
in his efforts to arouse his sleeping
spouse. 1t took a long time, but
finally they succeeded in awakening
the lady, who. after sizing up the
situation said Il thought you came
in" Although the hour was around
2 a. M, and our friend was tired and
sleepy. he took the affair good-natur-
eddy and everything is lovely.

EXPLOSION KILLS ONE.
Plant Complained Of by Citizens
Blows Up With Fatal Results.

Minneapolis.-Arthu Anderson, Is
years old, is dead and his employer,
Conrad Martinson, is dying at the city
hospital from injuries received when
gas explosion totally destroyed the
plant Of the Minneapolis Acetylene
Gas company. Both victims were
hurled through the roof of the one
story brick building. and the plant
was blown into atoms.
Seven distinct explosions followed
the first, shattering windows for ra-
dius of half a mile. Many living in
the vicinity were thrown to the floor
of their homes by the shock of the
first explosion.
It is believed that the explosion re-
suited from excess pressure on the
huge generator used in the plant to
furnish gas for charging automobile
gas tanks. Since the installation Of
the plant, several weeks ago, fears
have been expressed by people living
in the neighborhood because of the
explosive nature of the calcium car
bide used in the generation of the
gas. AS the result of continued COM
plants received from residents, an or
dinance was already under preparation
by the assistant city attorney. pro-
hibiting the establishment of such
plants in the congested districts Of
the city. Action was taken by Fire
Marshal Charles Ringer, following an
investigation of the Minneapolis acety-
lene plant several days ago upon re-
ceipt by Mayor James c. Haynes of
letter of complaint.
Fearful Of Plant.
In their complaint, the residents
called the attention of the mayor to
the menace of explosions in the plant,
and cited the instance of the St. Paul
explosion, July 81, when six were
killed in the machine shop of Arnold
Kuhlo as the result of similar explo-
sion.
Nothing but heap of charred debris
now marks the site of what is said to
be the only plant of it's kind in the
northwest. Representatives of automo-
bile manufacturers who arrived at the
scene say that not until the installa-
tion of the company was it possible
to have automobile gas tanks filled in
Minneapolis. 1t had Heretofore been
necessary to have the work done in
indianapolis and in other cities.

in saying that the disease is not

tofore it has been held to be both.
The bacilli, they said, enter the body
everywhere and blood-sucking insects,
such as gnats and bedbugs, are prob
ably instrumental in disseminating
the disease. Clinical experience, said
these authorities, proves that the NAL
