The explosion of Thursday evening
gave the people of this county a scare
they will never forget and there is no
installing the sentiment Of practically
the entire population of the county in
regard to the further manufacture of
explosives at the plant in Pleasant Prai-
RE. If the people of Kenosha county
have their way there will never be an
other pound of explosives made there
and they are in deadly earnest in the
matter, too The fact that there has
always been great danger Of an ex-
plosion at the plant at any time has
been present in their minds but the
fact that the residents in the territory
surrounding the plant have always
heretofore escaped with trifing dam
ages in previous explosions has bred a
certain indifference to the danger and
while there has been feeling that the
operations of the powder making com
pany should be regulated in some way
and the storage of great quantities of
explosives prevented, the opposition to
the plant has never grown strong en-
ough to really force any action. The
explosion OF Thursday night changed
all that, however, and the people of
Pleasant Prairie are united. in the de-
mand that something be done to safe
guard their lives and property. That
only one was killed and that the COM
pany can and probably will settle all
property damages does not alter their
feelings a particle. No one who saw
the havoc wrought by the explosion
miles away from the plant can under
stand why there were NOT more people
killed in the blast which swept over
the county. They escaped as by mir
acle this time but they do not propose
to be exposed to the danger of another
explosion of the same violence if they
can help it. There does not appear to
be any agreement among the people as
to the proper thing to do to insure safe
ty IN the future and even the lawyers
have few suggestions to make as to the
proper course to take but the first plan
that presented itself was an appeal to
the Legislature of the state for relief
and that has been made. What else
can be done is matter for future con-
sideration. Ordinarily the demands of
the people in the territory surrounding
the plant fade away when the excite
ment of an explosion dies down but
unless we mistake the temper of the
people of Pleasant Prairie they are go.

get remedial legislation of some kind.

PLENTY OF WORK
FOR COLORADO MEN.

"There will be sufficient work
in Colorado this spring for $1,000
laborers and we will lack from
5000 to 5000 of having a suffic-
lent number of. men to meet the
demands" said j. H. Allen, a
Denver railroad employment
agent. He gave out the statement
after learning of the plans of the
Union and Southern Pacific to be
gin improvements and extensions
to cost $75,0O0,0O0.
81 am in receipt of letter from
Minneapolis, inquiring as to the
outlook for obtaining men here
for work on the Hill roads, con-
tinued Mr.. Allen. "That market
has largely depended upon Chi
cago in the past, but this year
an effort will be made to get men
in Denver. AS we will not have
enough men for our own needs it
is obvious that we cannot help
them out.
"The Denver Union Water com
pany will want large number of
men on the forty-eight-inch con-
duit it is constructing from Mars
ton lake to Platte canon. The
tramway company will need a
considerable number, and the city
will create a sufficient demand to
take up the surplus as soon as it
is ready to go ahead with its
street improvements.
In addition to this demand
will come the requirements of the
Denver Reservoir Irrigation com
pany for 1000 men and another
1000 will be needed on the Well
ington-Cheyenne line the Colorado
& Southern is to build.
There will be work for at least
1900 men on various irrigation
projects and the Pueblo-W Walsen-
burg line of the Colorado G. South
ern and the Denver & Rio Grande
is taking nearly 1000 men. The
Union Pacific will require at least
5000 men, and Denver will be on
an equal basis with Omaha in sup
plying this demand.
This activity means good
times for Colorado. There will be
thousands of dollars spent each
day in wages and practically all
that money will go into cir
culation. There will be no excuse
for any idle people in this state
thi" year"

BERTHS MUST BE PAID
FOR WHEN RESERVED

Travellers may be forced to pay
for Pullman berths they have re-
served, but which they do not
use, if new rule on berth-reser-
vations is adopted by western rail
ways.
The plan is to insist on full
payment for berths at time of res
ervation. Now the berths can be
reserved by telephone call to
the railroad office. This privi-
lege has been abused, railroad
men say, by persons who have
changed their minds at the last
minute about taking the trip plan
ned and who have not notified
the railroad, allowing the reserved
berths to be unoccupied. The
money loss has resulted in the con
sidcration of the new rule, by
which prepayment must be made
or chances be run of getting a
berth when taking the train.

Milwaukee, Oct. 5.-When more tes-

Investigating committee today that no
detailed reports were kept of United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson's ex-
penditure of $107,793 campaign funds.
Senator w. B. Hepburn, the chairman,
made ruling, which it is expected will
have an important bearing on the con-
duct of the investigation. Senator
Stephenson is charged with bribery in
connection with his election to the SEN
atorship.
E. A. Edmonds, his campaign man
ager, on the stand reiterated his in
ability to give details of just what GER
tain amounts of money paid to indi-
viduals was actually used for.
Now said Senator Hepburn. eff

Stephenson's funds and had charge of
their disbursement it seems you were
the person who was responsible under
the law for keeping an account; you
are supposed to know not only the GER
tain sums paid to certain individuals,
but also you should know just what
those individuals did with the money"
Edmonds then went over a list of
several hundred items where sums
ranging from $25 to $4,000 had been
paid to men, but he said he had no
record to show what the recipients of
the money did with it.

burn, 1--WE wish while ybu are giving
such testimony to call your attention

that where charges are officially made
and no record can be given of funds
admittedly spent, the presumption is
that they were wrongfully used and
the burden of proof is on the person
against whom the charges were pre-
ferred.''

Senator Sutherland of the committee,
