 Hundreds Cheer Dramatic Rescue.
 Hundreds of persons, who had gath cred at the sound of the explosion, stood. gasping during this dramatic rescue and applauded with shouts and hand-clapping when Wise touched ground in safety with the unconscious man.
 F. l.. Jeffries, superintendent of the plant, and A. H. Kelly, assistant su- perintendent, went into the wrecked building and climbed to the sixth floor to aid and direct the wounded in es- caping from the building. The struc- ture was in flames and the Granite City and Madison fire departments, having no apparatus to enable them to reach the sixth story, were helpless to check the fire there.
 Jeffries ard Kelly assisted four men out of the building, probably saving their lives.
 The damage to the building and its contents was estimated at $55,O00, the corn products stored there being val ued at s20,000. There was no insur- ance.
