DYNAMITE CAPS CAUSE DEATH.
Baby Swallows Several Which Poison
Her-Other Child Receivers.

Galena, Kan, July 16.-One child is
dead and prompt use of the stomach
pump alone saved the life of another.
as the result of belated accidents di-
rectly attributable to the Fourth of
July celebration. The poisonous dyna-
mite caps used in explosive canes have
proven as dangerous, taken internally,
to infant children, as the toy pistol has
heretofore been to older boy celebra-
tors.
Patricia Lowdermilk, II months old,
died this morning from PHOSPHORUS
poisoning twenty-four hours after she
swallowed several of the little pellets
with which her 6-year-old brother was
playing.
The latter, fearing a whipping if he
made the cause of the little girls ILL
ness known, did not tell what was the
cause of her condition until late last
night. Medical aid was summoned.
but it was too late and the baby died
today.
At noon today the same physician
who treated Patricia Lowdermilk was
summoned to the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Berney Bliss, where their 2-year-
old son was suffering from peculiar
malady. He found the symptoms SIM
liar to those which had preceded the
the little boy if he had eaten any caps.
The child stoutly denied having
done so for some time, but finally,
after constant questioning. admitted
he had eaten the little balls' in a
hog he found in the alley.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
the ''little balls were dynamite caps.
The stomach pump was brought into
play. and it is thought the child will
recover.
The caps are said to have. a slightly
sweet taste, and several children in
the neighborhood have eaten them
since the Fourth. Except in the two
cases. which came to light, they have
not been eaten in quantities sufficient
to cause serious results.

ELECTRICITY OVER PRAIRIEs.
Herington Plant Furnishes Light to
Town Nine Miles Away.

Harrington, KAN July ia COM
mittee consisting of the mayor. coun-
cilmen and other citizens from Hope
came to Herington for the purpose of
comforting with the. city council and
looking into the plans for hghtlng
their city with lights furnished by the
Herington plant
After a thorough investigation of
services they were convinced that it
was greatly to their advantage in
many respects. Chiefly because it
would lessen the cost to them and give
them a much better service. The cost
to the city would be chiefly the con-
struction of the wiring from Harrington
to Hope, a distance of nine miles,
which is in the neighborhood of $4,000.
To put in a plant that would give them
would cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
Herington Is conceded to be the best
lighted city of it's size in the state and
the plant has sufficient power to fur
nish light for several of the neighbor-
ing towns at a nominal cost.

Harrington, Kan, July 16-Tuesday,

On these days the biggest and best

Kansas and Oklahoma circuit. Not
only the best horses in these two states
will contest for the stakes OF $500,
but several horses from Arizona, Mis-
souri,, Tennessee and other states have
been entered.
The races have been well advertised
and a big crowd is sure to be in at
tendance. Harrington people are much
enthused over the races and much in
terest is being taken in the coming
events.
The track is in excellent condition
for a new one and several of the horse
men who have examined it say it is
one of the best in the state. This
means some fast time will be made.
The barns have been completed and the
finishing touches are being put on the

More Than Customary Midsummer
Dizziness in Business.

New York. July 16.-R. G. Dun &
Companys weekly review of trade
says:
Business in all its branches waits on
the outcome of the years crops. In
the meantime the leading industries
are experiencing something more than
the customary midsummer dizziness
and curtailment of production and
price concessions continue. Retail
trade, as is pointed out by one of the
largest mercantile houses in the United
States, is much better than wholesale
trade, which has been largely demon
allied by the price situation. This in
dicates fair consumption of mer-
chandise. making for sound conditions

With the advent of fall great
awakening of interest is looked for in
iron and steel. Production of pig iron
continues at a good rate. but uncer-
tainty as to prices is a deterrent in
