BARRELS EXPLODED BY RAIN
They Were Filled With Lime, and
Watchman Got Of One Just In
Time.

When workmen who are building an
apartment building at Sixty-sixth
street and Park avenue left, they took
ordinary precautions against rain.
They covered twenty-four barrels of
lime with a sheet of canvas and fast
ened it down with planks. The rain
came and ran through crevices.
Mike Dolan, the watchman. sat on
one of the barrels in the early morn
ing hours. He felt very warm, and
got off to investigate. The next min
ute there was a roar, and the barrel
jumped up. The rest of the barrels
jumped up and exploded, and the
wooden containers caught fire.
When the firemen came, all hands
worked with shovels and threw sand
on the lime until it resembled mortar.
Then Dolan found another seat.-New
York Evening Post.

are exceptionally good rooms for a

1t is quite the fashion now to make
long living rooms, and there is much
to recommend it. The furniture may
be placed to so much advantage. and
there is room to use good, big easy

old-fashioned plans, a room II feet 6
inches long would be out Of the ques-
tion in house of this size. 1t is easy
to make big, light, airy rooms If you
have money enough to build big
house; but it is not easy to get com
modious and comfortable rooms in a
small house. 1t takes a good deal of
ingenuity and careful planning to get
six good rooms, in addition to neces-
sary accessories, in a house % by 80
feet.
A feature Of this house that will
appeal to the women is the built-in
sideboard, which faces the dining

piece Of furniture like this is a great
convenience and comfort to a house

up to within a few years. There are

The Shot That Killed.


A glance through the window
showed Captain Thorne that the yard
beyond, which had been empty all eve,
ming, was now full of armed men. The
corporal had gone out through the hall
door back Of the house whence he had
entered. There was no doubt but that
the back windows would be equally
well guarded. The house was sur
rounded, no escape was possible. He
was trapped, virtually a prisoner, al
though, for the time being, they had
left him a certain liberty-the liberty
Of that one large room! 1t was quite
evident to him that he was the object
OF their suspicious, and he more than
feared that his real affiliations had
been at last discovered.
Apparently, there would be no op-
portunity now in which he could carry
out his part in the cunningly devised
scheme of attack. "Plan 3" would
evidently result in failure, as so many
previous plans had resulted, because
he would not be able to send the or
ders that would weaken the position,

in which the spy was held; he knew
that even the gallantry and intrepid

them from opprobrium and disgrace.

upon the board. His love! Not the

effect.

form of written communication that
such a day be declared. r. ~tr

According to. the instructions ofs-the
attorney general it will be necessary to
use both the voting machines and the
ballots. w. H. Kempers commissioner
of elections, stated that it would be
optional with the voters whether they
vote in the old manner or by the ma
chine method. This will give the auth
critics an opportunity to ascertain
whether or not the people prefer the
new style method of voting adopted in
other parts of the country.
The commissioners at their meeting
today decided to hold a special meet
ing at 10 o'clock on March q for the
reading of the appraisers report which
covers all the 1913 paving. AT that time
the property owners will have an OPP
portunity to raise objections. The board
of appraisers consists of R. M. Nc
Cav, L. r. Lane and t. c. Moore.
A South side deputation appeared be-
fore the mayor and commissioners at
the morning session asking that action
be taken at once to eradicate the odors
that are making life miserable for
those living near the trash dump to the
right of the Kansas avenue bridge over
the Shunganunga. The deputa-
ton was informed by Commissioner
Stotts that he has made arrangements
to have the manure and other trash
covered with dirt which will be hauled
to the place.
Plans for the Topeka signs to be
placed at local railway stations were
submitted by the city engineer, A. r.
Young. They were referred to w. G.

cording to the specifications, will be

ing of $7,353.45 in bonds covering the
