POWDER WRECKS MILL,
Two Expert Explosive Handlers Are Ter
ribly Burned When Hundreds
of Kegs Let Go.

KENOSHA. Wis, March 15.-An ex-
plosion wrecked the press mill of the
Laflin-Rand Powder company at Pleas
ant Prairie and probably fatally injured
Joseph Steinbach and frank Smith. eX-
pert employees. Both men were thrown
high y the air and were later dragged
from the wreckage Of the press mill, i'll
which had been hundreds of kegs CT
powder in the course Of the making.
The explosion came without warming
Monday afternoon and caused concus-
sion that rocked the earth and was heard
here III KenoSha, six miles away. No
cause has been determined.
This was the fourth explosion in as
many years, ten lives having been lost
in that time. Steinbach was one of the
oldest and most experienced men in the
company's employ and Smith is chief
engineer of the plant. Both are noted
for their caution in handling explosives.
They are conscious but terribly burned,

Tariff Another Cause.

The tariff is another contributing cause.
It is true that it can furnish but partial
explanation. For to only limited extent
can the rise in food prices be affected by
or traced to the tariff. AS to commodities
that we export. the tariff is imperative. 1t
generally affects prices directly as we be
come importers. Nevertheless, the tariff
must bear its share of responsibility for
rising prices.
Combinations which are actually in re-
straint of trade, which have monopolized
their field and are either controlled by a
common secret management or a secret
agreement to maintain exorbitant charges
are partly responsible.
Still more of the rise of prices is due to
the decline of agricultural products com
pared with the increase of population.
When due allowance has been made for
tue effect of these forces that make for
dearer living, there still remains a large un
explained balance This must he credited
TO the lavish expenditure which has now
grown to be Il national trait.
Waste. idleness and rising wages, all in
ter-related to one another, now as cause
and now effect, are, next to an over
issue of irredeemable paper, the three mos
powerful forces in the world to raise
prices.

STUDENTS STUDY BIBLE
WAVE OF PTETY" ROLLS OVER
UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.
Visits and Lectures by World Renowned
Religious Leaders Effect Con-
crete Results.

MADISON. Wis. March u6-ISpc-
cial Recent reports that nearly ESQ
students ut the University of Wisconsin
We're converted by John X. Mott, gen
eral secretary of the Worlds Christian
Student federation, who spent week
in evangelical work here. seem to be
borne out by the authoritative announce
ment made today, giving exact figures.
Two hundred and ten persons attend
ing the university have made decisions
which mean that they voluntarily have
promised to lead Christian life OF
these. about thirty are women.
While this changed condition. will IN
doubtediy augment the attendance of
students at the various churches in the
city. more concrete results will be found
III the formation of about fourteen
groups of fraternity Bible study classes
and perhaps a dozen similar classes in
various boarding and rooming houses
around the campus The leaders in these
classes will be faculty men and upper
clasSmen.
While this 'wave of piety~ has been
caused largely by the inspiring and elo-
auent addresses delivered by Mr.. Mott,
1t Is also the result OF tie visits of other
religious speakers who have appeared at
the all-unlversity conversations and who
dISo nave spoken, with the permission
OF the university authorities, on secular
subjects TO various classes. Among
these are Prof Black of Union Theolog-
Ical seminary, New York; Bishop w. T.
MacDowell of the Methodist Episcopal
church. and Chancellor Frank Strong of
the University of Kansas.
In addition to these, Bishop J. T.
heane of the Catholic diocese of Wyom-
ing will hold a series of meetings at the
new st. Pauls university chapel and
probably the Episcopal church will be
represented later by speaker to be
selected by Bishop Webb of Milwaukee,

Returning to Holy Land.

From time to time various colonies Of
Jews have actually returned TO the holy
land says the London Chronicle. There
are records of Jewish settlements there
as early as ITO, and in the Sixteenth
century the city of Tiberias, where only
Jews were to dwell,' was rebuilt. But
it was not until comparatively modern
times that the founding of regular colo
MES began. In 1878 the ideas of Lau-
renee Oliphant and the Earl of Shaftes-
bury took definite shape in the purchase
of 700 acres of land Nv the Jews Of Jeru-
salem and the foundation of the colony
of Petah Tikwah After the Russian
persecution of 1881 large numbers of
Jews emigrated and at the end of 1893
there was about 5000 Jewish colonies in
Palestine

Kiss Baby, Tries to Kill 17-Year-
Old Wife.

CINCINNATI. O., March 17.-"When
they wouldn't let me kiss my baby, that
settled it. Then l fired.
Thus Albert Scherer explained why
he shot his 11-year-old bride today, as
she lay in bed at the home of her
mother, Mrs. Charles Wurster.
The victim probably will die, as one
bullet entered her head just back of the
left ear. The other bullet entered her
left arm.
Scherer claims he also tried to end his
own life. but failed because the bullet
glanced off his head. An abrasion on the
left forehead, as well as a bullet hole
through his hat seem to confirm his
statement.
The shooting is the elimination of Il
haSty marriage.
