Minneapolis, Jan. 7.-This city was
plunged into darkness and it's COM
mercial life almost paralyzed by an
. explosion of the $4,000 wire" leading
into the power plant of the Minneap-
oils General Electric company. Eleven
men employed in the building made
their way to safety by cropping their
way through the valley of the mill
race after the explosion. The plant
was wrecked and tangled mass of
wire, machinery and lumber was
thrown in every direction by the force
of the explosion. Fire followed and
completed the demolition of the build.
ing.
Three men were injured and the
damage to the property is estimated
at 100000. Three separate explo-
sions, accompanied by ear splitting
cracks and vivid display of the blue
electric flame, occurred. The cables
conducting 10000 volts of electric
energy broke and sent their power in
to the vortex, adding to the terrific
force which caused the destruction.
There is nothing left of the power
plant beyong the charred wreckage
level with the water in the river.
A short circuit in a cable, either
caused by displacement of some metal
conductor, weak spot in the insula-
ton, or the sudden burning out of a
fuse is thought to have caused the ex.
plosion.
Electricity Ignites Coal Gas.
Blistering, binding arcs of electric
ity, powerful enough to bore through
inches Of solid steel, rent the air, ig-
hitting coal gas in the boiler room and
communicating with twenty dynamos
on the top floor. Cables snapped and
writhed, wheels ground and whizzed,
the lights were all extinguished and,
for the minute, the building stood out
lined by a CHASTITY blue light, with
darkness as a background. That was
followed by an upheaval beginning in
the basement. A twenty-foot strip of
roof at the front end of the building
rose upward, followed by tangled
masses of wire and machinery.
Eleven men who had just started to
work on the three different. floors
made their escape in the darkness
through the valley paralleling the mill
race. That none of them met death
in the attempt to escape is considered
a miracle. The possibility of escape
Is ascribed to the sudden rush of air

Here it is in Plain Words.

The Roseau Times says it is hard
ly fair for people who were not pres
ent at the Brainerd meeting to COM
plain and charge that the 400 dele
gates representing 80 counties, men
of prominence, earnest men, who
paid their own expenses and were in
terested in the development of the
northern part of the state and Of the
whole state, were assembled as pol
itical gathering. Every delegate was
there to initiate and demand legisla-
ton as the first essential step toward
the development and settlement of
Northern Minnesota.
Brainerd Tribune is Slapped on the
Wrist.
The Brainerd Tribune has insulted
Northern Minnesota by one of the
rankest assertions that could possibly
come from any decent source. The
Tribune knows very little about what
will retard immigration and pros
perity to this country if it really be-
lieves what it prints. The assertion
that the advertising which North
ern Minnesota has been getting by
the actions of pussy Foot" Johnson
will do more to retard immigration
to Minnesota than the good work of
such MEETINGS as were held in Brain
erd "Dec. list and End" can overcome
in the next twenty years." Evil
IDENTIFY the Tribune does not think
that the Northern Minnesota Devel-
opment Association will accomplish
anything. AS for the undesirable
advertisements we have seen no bad
results and we believe that the Tri-
bune will learn eff it is alert that no
such calamaty will come over this
country as it predicts.-Pequot En-
terprise.

GOVERNOR WILL
VISIT CAMP TO-DAY
Interesting Manoeuvres OF Field
Artillery Will BE
j Witnessed.

Camp Lindsay Walker. Taylor's
Crossing, Va. August i7.-The First
Battalion, Field Artillery, in camp at
Camp Lindsay Walker has had d most
successful encampment. Not single
horse has been hurt since the battalion
went into camp, and none OF the meg
has been injured.
Early this morning the bridge over
the Chickahomlny River. between Hen
rico and Hanover counties. fell while
six horses and three men were cross
ing. The span over which the animals
were crossing was about twelve feet
above the bank OF the river. AS 1t
sank the men and horses aliShted on
their feet Immediate steps were taken
TO protect the highway.
Morning battery drills were dispensed
with on Wednesday. since which time
the entire afternoons have been taken
up, occupying positions and direct ana
indirect firing. with blank ammunition.
The horses have become thoroughly &C.
customed TO the firing and the men en-
tirely familiar with their pieces. 1t IS
a lamentable fact that the battalion
cannot stay in camp for longer
period.
Recent rains have laid the dust and
put the ground in splendid condition,
without subjecting the men to any dis
comfort. The routine is exceedingly
heavy of course. but there are few meu
in the battalion who are not workers;
in fact, the Field Artillery is no place
for play. What little leisure time there
is for the men between drill and stables
is occupied by the officers in theoret-
teal study.
The lack of drinking water on the
immediate camp site has caused some
difficulty. but good supply has bee,i
kept on hand by the quartermaster.
The horses are watered in the Chick
ahominy River. being several hundred
yards from the camp. but the fords are
narrow. which necessarily consumes
considerable time.
1t is believed by those who have vis-
tied the camp that the Adjutant-Gen-
eral could not have possibly used the
money appropriated for the use Of che
battalion for a better purpose for the
State. The ability of the men to handle
animals as they have is most re-
marka BILE proof of the intelligence and
ability of the volunteer.
Friday afternoon the battalion will
go into position about o'clock. The
fre Will be indirect and by battalion
1t is expected that the Governor and
Adjutant- General will witness the
scene. which is one that few p.opie
in the United Suites have ever had the
good fortune to see. 1t is not often
that a full battalion of field artillery
is seen in action The fire is directed
by means OF field telephones. which
have been put in thorough operation
| during the week.
The battalion will break camp Sat
nrday morning, and the Norfolk and
Portsmouth batteries will leave 70,
home by train at IL NJ The Richmond
, Howitzers Will return early Saturday
| by county road.

camp last night and was much pleased
