Andrews Close Call
" Managing Editor Andrews escaped,
having left the building and gone to his
home but short time before the eXpIo-

from distance of more than two miles,
and at once surmising that the Times
had been the object of an attack bv its
enemies, hurried downtown. City Editor
John l.. Won Blon had a close call, hav-
ing left the building but short while
before the explosion.

Recently, according to Managing
Editor Andrews, the strained relations
with organized labor have almost reach
ed the breaking point, since the preci-
pltation of the brewers and iron WORK
ers strikes here six months ago.
Less than a month ago a stand of
fifty Springfield rifles was purchased
and installed in the tower room in the
fourth floor of the building. This fact
had been kept secret; but it was adj
mitted by Andrews today.

that the building did not come up to

nearest to him, and they, too, were
hurled against the ceiling of the com
posing room.
Everyone of the typesetting ma

do anything for anyone else, and every

Wires for New Plant.

1.-Two hours after the fire Chandler
was busy writing kilograms, ordering
new printing presses, linotypes and a
stereotyping outfit for new plant
from New York. An issue of the paper
was gotten out today from the com
posing and pressrooms of the Los An
geles Herald and from an auxiliary Of
the Times office in another part Of the
city.
'.Chandler stated that two years ago
the Times had established an auxiliary
plant at College and san Francisco
streets. equippng it with a press and
twelve linotype machines, with the ex-
ipcetation that the present plant would
some day be destroyed.
This auxiliary plant which the Post
account refers 10 is the linotype school
which The Times conducted in another
portion Of the city to teach apprentices

Chambers Narrow Escape.

"Assistant General Manager Chand-
Ter narrowly escaped with his life. His
office was on the ground floor and he
had left it but few minutes before
the explosion. He was accustomed TO
remaining in his office until later in
the morning, but on this occasion his
wife had come for him and he had gone
to his home a few blocks distant
Chandler S private secretary, J. Wesley
Reeves, remained in the office and has
not been found since the fire broke out,
and it is believed the secretary lost
Mis- life Chandler s office was wrecked
by the force of the explosion and it
was hardly possible for any one to es-
cape from it. He had scarcely reached
his home when he heard the explosion,
and says he at once believed that the
Times had been dynamlted. He hur
ried to the scene, but found the build
ing mass OF flames when he reached
there.
You can say for me that there is
no doubt that this terrible outrage can
be laid at the doors of the labor unions.

plant, and have killed a number Of our

ter is added to bring the fat column up
into the graduated neck of the bottle.
After this the machine is whirled for
one minute more. and the test is ready
to read. The reading should be done
before the fat hardens. Each of the
small spaces on the neck of the bottle
represents two-tenths of 1 per cent.
The number of spaces through which
the fat column extends indicates the
percentage of fat in the milk.
In testing cream special bottles must
be used. A small balance is needed to
weigh out the samples. as cream can
not be accurately measured. Nine
grams are used for each sample. and
as much more hot water is added.
Only about two-thirds as much acid is
needed as for milk.

SINKING A WELL

Hoover's well-digging outfit, pro-
PEELED by a traction engine, which
also operates the drill made its ap-
raararoa in town Tnesdav afternoon
and took up it's position at the resi-
dence of W. G. Pursel, West Market
street, where deep we'll will be sunk
for the purpose of supplying the house
with water.
The digging of we'll will be some-
thing of an experiment at that spot and
here is no telling how deep the drill
will have to go before water will be
obtained. Mr.. Pursel yesterday stated
that it is not his intention to sink
what is known as distinctiyely an
artesian well, although he is prepare ed
to go to a pretty great depth.
The sinking of a well in the resi-
Dental part of town at this day is
something of departure and may
mark an epoch in which will prevail
the custom of drawing on the subter,
ranean springs or reservoirs that lie
at such a depth that contamination
from the surface is impossible.

No woman can be healthy and well
if the kidneys are sick. Poisons that
pass off i'll the secretions when the
kidneys are we'll, are retained in the
body when the kidneys are sick. Kid
neys and bladder become inf1amed and
swollen and worse troubles quickly
follow. This is often the true cause of
bearing down pains, lameness, back
ache, sideache, etc. Uric poisoning
also causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness aud rheumatic
pain.
When suffering So try Doan's Kid
ney Pills, a remedy that cures sick
kidneys. You will get better as the
kidneys get better, and health will re-
turn when the kidneys are well. Let

The barn on the farm of Mrs. Allen
Grove, at Bucknell, one-half mile west

by fire on Sunday morning at O'Clock.
Five horses, four COWS, agricultural
implements and hay and straw were
also burned. The fire was of incendi-

miles distance within two weeks.
There is strong clew as to the origin
and instigator of the fire and import

INSPECTOR OF
D|SPENSAR|ES

The efficiency of the local tubercu-
losis dispensary has been considerably
increased by additional equipment fur
nished by the State department of
health in the form of full outfit for
the treatment of the nose and throat
diseases of which are frequently COM
plicated with tuberculosis. The pos
session of such an outfit is essential to
full and successful treatment of tubeI-
culosis along modern and approved
lines.
DR.. Thomas H. A. Sites, chief in
spector of the dispensaries, was in
Danville last week in the performance
of his duty. After examining the local
dispensary he expressed perfect salts
faction, pronouncing the dispensary
one of the neatest and cleanest in the
State.
Under Dr.. G. A. Stock, the physi-
clan in charge, the dispensary is do
ing very efficient work in the crusade
against tuberculosis. AT present there
are thiIty-four cases under treatment,
males and females numbering seven

quarts of milk were ordered, nineteen
patients receiving milk. One hundred,
twelve dozen eggs were ordered, thir-
teen patients receiving eggs. The nurse
made thirty -four visits.

medical inspector indicates that dur

BROUGHT FROM
FAR AWAY AUSTRIA

At the doorway of one of the dwell
lings on the west side of Q street, just
below ST. Hubert's Catholic church,
there hangs bunch of Grape; within
the dwelling lies the dead body of a
three-year-ol child that arrived in
this city only last week from far away
Austria
Connected with this death there is a
story that is full of heart-interest. The
occupant of the house is Carl Sudol, a
very intelligent foreinger, who holds
a position at the Hanover brewery.
Carl Sudols mother died a good
many years ago. His father finally
married second time, and by this
latter marriage two children were
born, boy-now some six years OF
age-and girl-Antonia Sudol-who
lies dead on @ street.
To tell the story briefly Carl's faith
er and stepmother both died and his
half brother and sister were left alone
among strangers. This fact weighed
heavily upon the young mans heart,
and Notwithstanding the heavy per-
sonal sacrifice involved, he decided to
bring the two children to this country,
where he could take care of them at
his own home. AS method involving
the least expense he finally induced a
girl immigrant, who was bound for
New Jersey, to bring the two children
along to America, he agreeing as a re-
turn to pay her passage over in addi-
tion to that of the two children.
The long voyage was made without
incident and on last Friday night the
little orphans arrived at Danville.
They at once found good home, but
unfortunately the journey had proven
too strenuous for the little girl, who
shortly before had suffered from an at
tack of measles and was in weak
condition She was i'll when she arriv-
ed at Danville, Friday. She grew worse
and shortly after ~ O'Clock Monday
morning she passed away.
