ELEVEN MEN KILLED
 BY AN EXPLOSION

Monterey, Mex, April 16-When an an tiquated locomotive exploded in the yards of the National railways of Mexico here early today Il employees of the road were blown into eternity. Two others were horribly injured. but it Is expected that they will recover. The dead:
 G. S. Monaghan. engineer.
 Manuel Fernandez, night foreman.
 Francisco Piacios, helper.
 Pedro Garza. mechanic.
 Salinas Cardenas, mechanic
 Agapito Martinez. helper.
 Juan Perez. fireman.
 Jesus Gonzalez Montez, machinist helper.
 Porforio Padron. helper.
 Two unidentified men.
 The injured:
 Cartarino Perez.
 Manuel Hernandez, inspector.
 The fatal screwing down of the safety valve on the engine after it had been run out of the round house caused the explosion. Engineer Monaghan noted that his steam guage was not working properly after he left the roundhouse, and mechanic, identity unknown, climbed to the boiler deck to examine the safety valve.
 An instant later fragments of human bodies and twisted bits of the ponderous engine were hurled high in the air. The front end of the boile.- was blown more than a hundred feet down the track, leaving death In its wake.
 Today, where the engine stood, are three piles of wreckage; one the dis mantled boiler and great eight-inch shafts broken from their trucks, cab gone, twisted and shriveled. The other two are bent and twisted masses of steel-sheets of metal half an inch in thickness crumpled like cardboard
 This is the story the wreckage tells. but what really happened, who Is re- sponsible for the accident. if anyone may never be known. Doubtless there will be an investigation, and in apparent fear of this two men are reported to have departed hurriedly, although it is not stated there Is any suspicion that either one Is responsible for the explosion.

BRIDE AND GROOM
LOSE EACH OTHER
A WILD TAxlcA5 CHASE FOL-
Lows UNTIL ONE OF THEM
THINKS OF PHONE.

st. Paul, April 1S.--Messenger boys,
clerks and even taxicabs were enlist
ed yesterday in behalf Of a frantic
bridegroom -to-be, and yet more fran
tic bride-to-be who, because the lat
ter had forgotten to wake up in time
to meet the former at 4: 40 train, had
become separated, as they thought,
for eternity.
E. Braclxen. q wealthy hardware
merchant of Herman, Mimi, fell in
dove with Miss Nancy Milne, a tele-
phone operator at the same place, and
they decided on a near -elopment.
Miss Milne came to St. Paul Friday
for the purpose, she said, of visiting
her sister, Mrs. A. w. Lambortson. 1869
Lincoln avenue. Mr.. Bracken was to
come yesterday, and Miss Milne was
to meet him at the Union depot at
7:40 o'clock. They were then to make
a tour of the shopping district and
buy the 'feathering for a nest which
Mr.. Bracken has prepared in Herman.
At TAO o'clock Miss Milne awoke
with a start, and flying to the tele-
phone, tried to get the Union depot
authorities to make the train late in
some way, and give her chance to
get down. Superintendent Morrison
of the Union depot, to whom she talk
ed, said that he would gladly do this
for her only it was impossible for one
reason-the train was already in,
Miss Milne hurried downtown, ask
ed several policemen If they had seen
an unhappy man who had evidently
lost something, then went to the depot
to see If by any chance Mr.. Braken
was waiting. Mr.. Bralxen wasn't.
Calling a messenger, Miss Milne
stationed him In the main waiting
room of the depot, while she took
taxicab and visited several Seventh
street stores, where she knew he in-
tended making some purchases.
At one place she learned that he had
been there and had said that he was
going to the Ryan to get his break

In the meantime, Braken, with VII
sions of accidents to his intended
bride. had run around ike mad seek
ing her. Twice he got on her trail.
but she had disappeared before he
could get to the place he expected to
find her.
Then a brilliant idea seemed to
strike both OF them at the same time.
They thought Of the telephone Mr..
Braclen called up the brides sister
and told her where he would stay until
Miss Milne called up; and when she
called up her sister, the reunion" was
soon arranged.

OLD TIME SPELLING BEE.
Wonderful Showing Made by Two Dew
lis Lake Girls.

Devils Lake. N. D., April 1S-Talk
about spelling! Nineteen contestants
took part in the county spelling contest
held in the commercial room of the
high school and after Supt. w. A. God
ward had pronounced words for about
four hours there were still two of the
number on the fioor-Cecila MEME and
Mae Hines. Master Melvin Anderson
OF the Hampton schools did excellent
work and lost his place seemingly not
because he did not know how to spell
the word but because the contest was
so long drawn out. Over 800 written
words and seven rounds of ten words
each were spelled by Misses MEME
and Hines and Master Anderson. OF
that number Master Anderson missed
one oral word After a few hundred
more words were spelled correctly by
the young girls the judges, consisting
of Miss Mary e. Norton, Superintend-
ent Godward, Superintendent Haig,
Professor Wilson and Professor Keep
ing decided to have the contestants
spell off again for the first and second
places at 10 o'clock this morning. In
the final contest the first place went to
Miss MEME and second to Miss Hines

siderably from the several posts all

feet from the surface of the sidewalk

FARMERS ARE
HOLDING WHEAT
CANADIAN AGRIcULTuRALlsTs
BELIEVED TO HAVE MILLIONS
OF BUSHELS IN STORE.

Winnipeg, April 1s.-of a total
wheat production last year Of 1861
$4,000 bushels, the farmers Of the
dominion are stin holding 1928 per
cent or nearly so,5OO.OOO bushels. The
farmers of the prairie provinces are
holding 1890 per cent of their last.
years wheat yield, or more than &c.
100000 bushels.
These are striking and interesting
figures. They illustrate the wealth OF
the dominion afrner especially the
farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. With wheat above the
dollar mark it will be seen that the
prairie province farmers are in good
circumstances. u
Thy have the equivalent of a cash
balance in bank of some SIG, 000, 900.
They are holding this wealth in their
own graneries saving warehouse
charges, and with the prospect of an
increase in the value Of this enormous
grain store.
