METEOR EXPLOSION
 EXCITES POPULACE

An unsual phenomena occurred here last Friday evening at about 7:15. There was a heavy explosion similar to that of a heavy blast followed by a fuli- sade of smaller explosion. which terminated in a thunder like rumble of approximately two minutes duration. People ran out into the streets and gazed at the sky. The sky was lightly overcast with patches of high floating clouds, but immediate ly after the explosion a smoky trail similar to the exhaust of a automobile was visible. The trail disappeared in a little north of east direction. The volume of the explosion can be best judged by the fact that it was heard at Whiteriver on the south and Keams Canyon on the north, or about one hundred miles both north and south of Holbrook.
 Saturday word was received that a shower of falling stones took place at Aztec, six miles east of here, immediately after the explosion was heard here. The rock as near as can be judg- ed was scattered over an area of more than one square mile. Sunday a large number of local people drove, mOtored and rode to Aztec and gathered up the meteorite. The largest of the specimens secured weighs 143 pounds and was found by Jas. Scorse. Several dozen speci- mems. weighing from 5 to 2 pounds were secured. In most instances the meteorite frag- ments were partly buried in the soil.
 Outwardly the meteorites have the appearance of rocks charred by heat and smoke. Broken, the speciemens reveal a gray, ap- parently highly mineralized body, which at a casual glance might be mistaken for gray granite, but the resistent qual- ity is about like that of sand stone, an unusual condition for meteorite. they generally being hard and flint like.
 The question of an assay has been taken up and the returns are awaited with interest.
 The most probable and most generally accepted theory of the phenomena IS that the meteor strayed from its orbit and com ing in contact with cold cloud air current, an explosion follow ed. The explosion was dir ectly over the town, but the speed with which it travelled coupled with the great height and force of the explosion car ried the fragments several miles to the east. The theory is ad- vanced that the bulk of the meteorite is yet to be found as the specimens gathered so far could have scarcely caused so large an explosion.

an improvement in the standards Of
Bryan's women.
2. That the influences in Bryan
that contaminate young men be re-
moved.
3. That there ought to be an ell
cient Y. M. c. A. established.
Referring to the first suggestion, It
was pointed out that there was a seri-
GUS breakdown in the moral example
of many of Bryan's leading men.
touching especially the question Of
Temperance. 1t was also pointed out
that many of even the best men in
Bryan morally were breaking down in
their lives at the point of money max
ing. Money was weighing too much
with 3ryan's men, 1t was declared,
and the atmosphere of its stores and
banks and shops and streets was too
much permeated with the spirit OF
materialism. Young men brought up
under such examples and in such an
atmosphere did not have good
chance to make the best of them
selves. 1t was also declared that what
the mothers and young women Of
town write in capital letters the men
of the town sooner or later come to
write in capital letters, and many of
the women Of Bryan, earnestly urged
the preacher, ought, for the sake of
their sons and husbands and brothers,
to write in larger letters than they
do the words imprrity and drink
The question of the saloons in
Bryan was dealt wits under the sec
ond general suggestion Of Bryan men,
and their outstanding menace to
young men was pointed out. For the
sake of its boys and young men, II
for no other. the saloons ought to go,
it was declared.
The question Of Y. NJ. G. A. was
taken up as the last suggestion, and
the Dtututs III SUN dn Au1tlLutlJA
were set forth. For s25,oO0 a well
equipped Y. M. c. A. could be estab-
lished, it was said, and Bryan could
make no better investment just now.
The sermon was closed with an
earnest appeal to the men present to
go out and to consider earnestly the
great needs which confronted them,
and whatever effort Bryan may put
forth in the behalf Of its young men
and whatever money It may spend for
their help, said the pastor, viii be a
thousandfold worth while. The sermon
gave evidence of a heart that went
out in earnest regard toward Bryan's
young men, and was challenge to
the older men present to earnest
thought in regard to their sons and
employees.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE Meets

Chicago, Nov. 12.--The meeting OF
the republican national committee
called by Chairman Hilles in this city
today brought together the leaders of
the party who say that the defeat of
Mr.. Taft will not disrupt the repub-
lican party. The meeting was called
for the purpose of winding up the af-
fairs of the campaign and attending
to such other business as may come
before the committee.
When the call was first issued it
was hoped to name successor to the
late Vice President Sherman, but the
election of Governor Wilson to the
presidency makes such step un-
necessary.
1t is said to be the plan of the re-
publican leaders to work Immediately
for the rebuilding of the party by the
establishment of harmony among the
factions. 1t is conceded that
1t was the fight between the repub-
hcans that resulted in President Taft's
defeat rather than the popular will for
the election of Governor Wilson. Re-
publican leaders say to man that the
plan of the progressives to absorb the
republicans as the wings were abb
sorbed will meet with the most un-
resistance.
