LOCOMOTIVE EXPLODED.
Eleven Men Lose Their Lives by the
Explosion.

When an antiquated locomotive
exploded in the yards of the Nation
al Railway of Mexico at Monterey
Saturday, eleven of the employees Of
the road were blown into eternity.
Two others were horribly injured but
it is expected that they will recover.
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, who was killed, noted
that his steam gauge was not work
ing properly, after he left the round
house and a mechanic, identity un-
known, climbed to the boiler deck to
examine the safety valve.
An instant later fragments of hu-
man bodies and twisted bits Of the
ponderous engine were hurled high
in the air. The front end of the
boiler was blown more than hun
dred feet down the track, leaving
death in its wake.

STORM DAMAGE LARGE.
Only Two Houses in Woodland Es'
cape Injury and Some Demolished.

Talbotton, Ca, April 17.-Al-
though practically every building in
the town of Woodland near here was
damaged by the terrific wind and hail
storm which struck that city yester~
day only one person, Jack A Brady
was injured. He was painfully
though not seriously hurt. Reports
from the surrounding country greatly
increase the property damage and
say that many horses, cows and other
live stock were killed by falling
trees.
The storm began early in the af-
ternoon and continued with gather
ing intensity until after midnight.
Several buildings were almost totally
destroyed, while many more were un-
rooted and otherwise damaged. Only
two residences in the town escaped
damage. It is impossible at this
time to estimate the loss in Wood
land alone while the damage to tim
Der and growing crops will be large.
The city school building, the Bap-
tist church and a drug store were to-
tally demolished while % other
buildings we're badly damaged. Some
of them will have to be rebuilt.
Almost without exception the resi-
dents lost all their household goods
and many are homeless and in dis
tress. Buildings only slightly dam
aged in comparison were left in such
condition that their entire con-
tents were ruined by the wind, rain
and hail.
Mayor w. T. Smith to-day issued
statement, calling on the outside
world for aid,
That more were not injured is re-
garded as miraculous as for hours
debris and wreckage filled the air.
Many narrow escapes from injury
were reported 4 peculiar freak Of
the wind was that it is believed to
have carried away several negro chill
dren. They disappeared during the
storm and diligent search for them
to-day was in vain.

Favorable Report from Committee

E6VOTdU1C AeCpOhO AAouA
Washington, April 1s--The bill
creating the Southern Appalachian
and White mountain forest reserve
was favorably reported to-day in the
house by the committee on agricul-
ture. The purpose of the bill is to
preserve watersheds by conservation
OF trees and by forestation, where
necessary.
The bill is designed to conserve
navigable rivers, but the first appll'
cation contemplated is to the forest
reserve mentioned. The majority OF
the committee says ''the agricultural
Industrial and commercial future OF
the sections of the country to which
it is most Immediately directed" is
involved in the bill.
ttIt is the most practical and i'm
mediately necessary Of the proposed
conservation measures" says the
majority, Involving the smallest
initial expenditure, the less probable

return upon the investment. 1t seeks

natural assets from serious impair.
ment if not destruction, our navig-
able waterways"
The minority report. signed BY
Chairman Scott and six other mem
bers, declares that congress has lit
tie warrant for entering upon a policy
which must if carried to the extent
advocated by its promoters, involve
the expenditure of vast sums of mon
ey and entail a heavy permanen
cost upon the treasury.
The minority contends that the re
forestation of a watershed at the
source of navigable rivers is a negli
gible factor in the maintenance O.
navigability.

TWO BALES TO THE ACRE.
Some Simple Rules Showing How it
Can be Done.

From an exchange we get this
which should interest farmers:
There are a few farmers in the
county that are going to plant for
two bales of cotton to the acre.
That is the plan to pursue. He who
never attempts a great achievement
will do only little, commonplace
things. These one acre tests are
good, but far from the best. Sup
pose dozen or more farmers should
take choice lots, four to eight acres,
and work for two bales to the acre.
That would try their real skill.
Take a five-acre lot as an example.
Of course the land should be good
to begin with. Break it well which
means going two inches deeper than
plowed heretofore. If stable and lot
manure are used, scatter broadcast
before bedding. Then apply four
hundred pounds of fertilizer in the
drill before bedding, mixing it with
the soil by running a furrow in the
row. Throw up a fiat bed. That will
be a good start. The. next step is to
secure improved seed which have
been carefully selected.
The rows should be four feet
apart and if a little wider it might
be better. If they are four and a
half feet wide and the plants two
feet apart, there will be 4,840 stalks
to the acre. Allow to missing hills
and poor stalks and say 4,500. If
the stalks would make two thirds of
a pound of seed cotton each, the
two bales would be sure. Forty to
sixty bolls of the larger varieties
would make that amount. 1t would
require more of the small boiled va
rieties. In June apply $50 pounds
of fertilizer to one middle and
week or ten days later apply the
same amount in the other. The
first to the tenth of June apply $50
pounds of nitrate of soda. Thus the
whole amount of fertilizer would
be two and a half tons and $50
pounds of nitrate of soda. The cost
of the fertilizer would be SIS to $50,
or about $3.50 an acre.
Now if any farmer has better
and cheaper plan for making two
bales to the acre we would like to
have it for publication. It looks a
little extravagant to put $50 worth
Of fertilizer on five acres Of best
land, but If the lot would make 10
bales of cotton it would be good in
vestment.
The same amount of fertilizer on
second grade land ought to make
bale and half. If a farmer is
reaching up after three bales to the
acre, ne should use 1000 pounds Of
fertilizer and $50 pounds Of nitrate
of soda. If one of our hustling farm
ers will make Is bales on five acres
we will proclaim him cotton king of
the country.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT.

THE selection OF Mr.. F. F. Mar
bury as president Of the Board OF
Aldermen at the adjourned meeting
held last night brings to q close a
deadlock which had existed in that
body since the meeting OF the board
on the first Of September. As the
hangup occurred during recess OF
Council, legislation has been i'll no.
wise impeded. Mr.. Marbury is one
of the oldest members Of the present
Board OF Aldermen, having succeeded
his father, the late William III. Mar
bury, at the latter's death ten years
ago. During most OF the time he has
been an Alderman he has served on
the committee on streets, and has de-
voted much OF his time and labor to
the service of the city at period when
street Improvements, the laying OF
sewers, etc., needed the services OF
capable and practical men. That he
will take the same interest in his new
position goes without saying. The
action OF the members Of the board
in coming together and agreeing to
elect president adds to the confidence
which has always been reposed IN them
by those they represent, and the Com
mon Council having been previously
organized by the election Of officers,
both branches will be prepared to pro-
coed to business at the regular meeting
next Tuesday night. 1t should be
stated in this connection that the gem
tlemen composing the present Board
of Aldermen have shown themselves
to be the right men in the right place,
realizing, as they do, that they have
been selected to labor pro bono pub
leo. They, have eventually acted on
the scriptural suggestion, in honor pre-
ferring one another" and will now vie
in the performance Of their public duty.
This spirit was especially marked in
the case of Alderman ]. NJ. Hill. He
and Alderman w. w. Ballenger were
the first candidates for the presidency
on the first ultimo. At the conference
last night. Mr.. Hill was asked by
Mr.. Field ii he desired to continue as
de facto president OF the board and
allow the deadlock to continue the
former being assured that his right to
do so would not be questioned by the
members who bad supported Mr.. Field.
Mr.. Hill said that inasmuch as he
had withdrawn as candidate IN
favor of Mr.. Marbury, he preferred
the latter be elected.

NEWS from Portugal is OF an alarm
ing nature. About two years ago the
king and crown prince Of that country
were murdered by anarchists, and the
present king is now prisoner, while
the army and navy are with the revolu-
tionists who are terrifying the country.
Warships, at last reports, were said to
be bombarding the royal palace. Later
dispatches say the revolution is sweep
ing Portugal. The republicans who
Yesterday overthrow the government
are today in complete possession Of the
capital. King Manuel is reported to
have taken refuge on Brazilian war
ship. The army and navy have joined
the reyolutionists, and efforts are being
made to extend the revolution to Spain.
The revolt is the direct outcome Of tn
clash between the clericals and anti
clericals. The bombardment of the
royal palace and street fighting in
many cities is reported and British war
ships are en- route to Lisbon. Practi.
