Panic.

Chicago, June 29.-An explosion, sup
posed to have been caused by dyna-
mite, did great damage in the business
district here Sunday night, injured two
or three persons severely, and wrecked
stores and windows for a block, near
Clark and Washington streets.
The exact nature of the explosion is
unknown because of the great amount
of debris thrown around the alley where
it occurred. The police think it anoth-
er of the series of gamblers war bombs
that have mystified detectives for more
than two years.
The scene Of the explosion was in an
alley in the rear of the central tele-
phone exchange. This exchange was
unable to do any more business during
the night. Two restaurants facing on
Clark street were blown practically in
to the street, food and dishes being
scattered over the car tracks.
In this alley also was the rear en-
trance to Powers & Lambert s saloon.

Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged was the cash
register store Of Mont Tennes, who is
alleged to conduct several gambling
places Tennes place has been raided
frequently by the police and another
bomb was exploded there a year ago.
On the opposite side Of Clark street

was covered with glass an inch thick.
Iron gates fronting the alley were bent

"The Philosophy of the Federal Constitution

By Henry c. Hughes Published by the Neal,
company. New York and Washington.
Price S1.50
Perhaps no document in the world is
so little understood, SO little read and
so seantily studied as the constitution
of the United states. In the hurry and
hustle of the strenuous life OF today
the average citizen has not the time
to read il and even statesmen often
show no true knowledge OF it, Mr.
Hughes believes that the school boys
should be trained in the principles of
government quite as much as in the
common branches
He should equip himself as sol
der OF peace by carrying in his heart
and mind the principles of peace"
That is the object of this book Mr.
Hughes has made a careful study of
the federal constitution. He has pref
aced his work by brief history of the
conditions which led up to the writing
of the declaration of independence and
the adoption of the constitution Then
taking the constitution. article by ar
ticle, he analyzes it's meaning and the
social philosophy underlying ii and de-
termines on the basis OF this analysis
the full and complete theory of our
government. His exposition is clear
and systematic and the style is so sim
pie that the meaning may be readily
grasped and held.
The author deals only with the CON
stitution. No consideration is given to
the beliefs of different political par
ties and no attempt is made at fancy
rhetoric. He gives a straight state
ment of fact and his book is intellf-
gent and concise
