Benedict Kan, Dec. 22.-The new
brick school house at Benedict has
been totally destroyed by the worst
natural gas explosion ever in Wilson
county Building and fixtures are
total loss, the amount aggregating
about $500. Fire insurance was car
ried to the amount of $1,000.
Many brick and other debris were
thrown far out from the site, some Of
it from $50 to 300 feet. Part of chair
was blown through the window of
Walter F1oyd's house 200 or more feet
distant and the window glass in sew
eraI nearby dwellings was shattered by
the conclusion. Joists were driven
endwise through the roof of the school
house The roof and other woodwork
of the building were afire when people
arrived on the scene. Lack of water
rendered extinguishing the fire I'M
practicable.
At first some persons questioned the
explosion being due to gas. But there
existed no ground for sufficient mo-
tive for anyone deliberately destroying
the building. The school house was
heated and lighted by natural gas. The
floor was four feet above the ground.

the basement, with which smaller pipe
connected 1t with stoves in the various
rooms There were cross foundation
walls under the building, with openings
between the divisions: also there was
an opening on each side of the outer
foundation walls. One theory is adj
Vanced that gas had accumulated in
the basement and finally became ig-
nited. Another one is that, on account
of a defective pipe producing leakage
of gas in the building proper, the ex-
plosion ensued. But the floor over the
basement all went up and out, it is
said, with the rest.
The Benedict school house was one OF
the finest in the county and justified
the towns pride. 1t was substantial,
well finished structure, shaped in the
form of a cross, with four large rooms,
admirably arranged and literally
equipped as a graded school. 1t was
completed in 1909. the building con-
tractor being L. L. Groves of Benedict.
1t was opened for school use but slight

construction was 81 900, not including
seating and other furniture. Only last
week Homer B. Rogers, a member Of
the district board, drew $500 from the
county treasury to apply in payment Of
the new seats.
valuable library was an adjunct OF
the school. 1t was wholly burned up.
The principal Of the school is John

The two churches are to be throwl

STUDENTS WHIP PRINCIPAL.
School Meeting at st. John Follows
Trouble Over Water.

st. John, Kan, Dec. 22.-PrincipaI
Croker of the st. John high school
failed to shed any student blood when
six members of his high school went
after him with their fists a week ago.
The trouble began when somebody
put ammonia into the school water
cooler. Nelson Rairden, a student in
the high school, was called to the
principals office after school and
asked to turn states evidence. He
refused to do so, insisting that he
knew nothing about it. Croker then
prepared not to spoil the child" but
before the professional rod could get
into action Nelson whistled to five
comrades outside, who rushed in and
overpowered the principal.
All of the students concerned in the
affair were suspended next day, and a
student mutiny followed. The school
was then closed for a number of days
while the board of education carried
on an investigation.
The result of their work was to de-
eide that all that was necessary to re-
store to grace the boys who had whip
ped the principal was to have them
apologize. All of them did so and
were reinstated, except Nelson Rair-
den. who refused, saying that Croker
owed him an apology for trying to
punish him for something he knew
nothing about. Rairden was expelled
