DU POINT BLAST
KILLS THIRTEEN
Explosion Reported as
Due to Outside Causes
Two Men Under Arrest.

Philadelphia. Jan. 10. Thirteen
persons are reported TO have been
killed in an explosion a. the Bocher
plant Of the du Pont Powder Company
at Carney's Point early to-day.
Later reports said tina, the blast was
caused by outside influences. and that
two men had been arrested.
The explosion occurred IN the
Boscher plant mill. where the finest
grades Of smokeless powder are pre-
pared for shipment. 1t happened
shortly after the force Of workers had
changed ~ midnight.
The steamer Long Beach. which was
jLst leaving its do, was blown partly
out Of Il e waite. All its windows were
broken and part OF the cabin was
smashed. None Of the passengers,
however. is believed to have been hurt.
The force Of the explosion was so great
thai it was heard in this city, twenty
five miles distant.
The blast at Carneys Point thls
morning is the ninth Sc o explosion
of mysterious origin in tie du Pont
plants since the war began. The fact
that the company has been engaged IN
making munitions for the Allies has
led TO the suspicion in more than one
Of these cases that pro-German sym
pathizers were plotting TO wipe out
the factories.
with the death of eight persons this
morning the total OF du Pom employees
killed in these explosions is forty-siX.
The most serious of these disasters
was that at Wilmington, Del, on NO
vember 30. when thirty persons were
killed and packing house was blown
up. This is the second explosion at
the Carney's Point plant. On May 10;
1915. a stillhouse was blown up ana

Gently passed away, died at the home

Mrs Palmer was Mrs. ROckwell's

THE ssMOVIE"'WORLD.
Lancaster Fast Assuming Importance
With It's Several Picture Houses.

Lancaster may become the head
quarters for the Essanay, Selig, Luz
bin, Edison or some other picture pro-
ducing concern if the present move
ment toward more and better photo
plays continues. F. G. Burr, the old
reliable proprietor of the Orpheum,
has been putting on some exceedingly
good stuff and every night seems to
be feature with Mr.. Burr nowadays.
Beside a regular Tuesday feature con-
sisting of five to six reels and a COM
edy or so, Mr.. Burr is showing on
Thursday night the celebrated serial,
"The Girl and the Came" featuring
Helen Holmes. On other nights he
has movie" cartoons which are
quite the best yet, dramas that are
dramas, and travel and educational
pictures that interest every one. Last,
but not least is the "Selig- Tribune"
containing the world review brought
down to date. All of which shows con-
siderable class to this house.
]. g. Weiting, who contracted with
Mr.. Hatch for his theatre, started
out with difficulties in the way of
new machine ando. Their things that
seem to aflict every new enterprise.
The last two shows were very pleas
ing to the audiences and the picture,
"The Spoilers" as put on last Thurs
day night was said by many to be the
best picture they had ever seen.
Not only was the atmosphere of Rex
Beach's thrilling novel carried out
perfectly but the cast, trained players
and the screen work as smooth as vel
vet The picture began at little af-
ter 700 and lasted until nearly 10
o'clock without one person apparently
leaving. The picture was well adver-
tised and drew a splendid house.
The high school pictures are show
ing every Wednesday night and i'm
prove all the time. Prof Adams has
mastered the technical side of photo
projection and also knows a great
deal about getting good pictures. The
subjects are all high-class and many
of them would command top prices if
exhibited at a regular picture house.
Two Whitewater gentlemen named
Clyde and Clifton Taft have leased the
Trentzsch building on east Maple
street opposite Lancaster hotel, for 3
years and, according to reports, will
open an uptodate picture house. 1t is
said that new seats will be installed
and in every respect the new house
will be modern.
Rumor hath it also that either Selig
or Lubin has leased the fair grounds
and will open a studio for the pro-
duction of photoplays but this last
cannot be verified. Suffice to say at
least, Lancaster and the vicinity peo-
pie will be treated to the best in the
moving picture line from now on and
in unlimited quantities.

MARRIED Sc YEARS.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Gleason, living
in the west part of the city of Lancas-
ter, were married Feb. %, 1860 at
Beaver, Crawford county, Pennsylvan-
ia. They were residents of LenoX,
Ohio. They made the long trip with
a livery horse, driving part of the way
on a plank road and the remainder in
the mud.
Mrs Gleason came to Wisconsin
December, 1862, and they moved into
their new home in March, 1868. In
March, 1865 Mr. Gleason went to the
war, enlisting in Regiment 1876, Co. D
Ohio infantry and was honorably dis
charged in September of the same
year. He is now past rs years of age,
and the wife is past II.
There were two children, boy and
a girl. The son, Eugene, died at the
age of % of typhoid fever and the
daughter lives with them. Also there
are three granddaughter.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Holding Exams, Taking Pictures,
Class Spirit and Basketball.

The examinations held on Thurs
days and Fridays every six weeks,
were written Tuesday and Wednesday
this time.
The seniors are working hard on
their annual and it will undoubtedly
be a good one.
The high school pupils have kept
Mr.. Orion, the photographer, very busy
the last two weeks, taking individual
pictures of the juniors and seniors,
and group pictures of the sophomore
and freshmen classes. The freshmen
class was so large that it was neces-
sary to divide them into three groups.
A Platteville photographer took
several pictures in the school house
last week.
A Pathe News film was shown last
Thursday morning and a film on
shoemaking shown Monday morning.
Both were very good.
The manual training shop is now
located in the Ed Hyde building, in
the rooms formerly occupied by the
Grant County Herald.
Who says Lancaster hasn't school
spirit? We have when there is any
need for it's exhibition, as was proven
by the enthusiastic crowd that attend
ed the Fennimore game a week ago.
The basket ball team will have to
play their best if they want to land
place among the first four or five
teams, at the Platteville tournament
There are about twelve entries, includ-
ing such teams as, Monroe, Prairie du
Chen, Platteville, Richland Center,
and Mt. Horeb. Lancaster has always
surprised them at the tournament and
we hope the team will this year.
Here's hoping
Lancaster Defeats Darlington.
Friday evening Lancaster was
again victorious, defeating Darlington
Sc to Is. The game was rather slow
the first half ending IL to 4. For about
four minutes at the beginning of the
second half, the locals showed the Wis
itors a few things about team work
passing and basket shooting. When
they had finished the score stood "a to
4. Clanton then substituted for Black
Mcconnell and King showed up well
for Darlington, while Angus, Oyer and
Edwards played fine ball for Lancas-
ter. The score:

Tuesday morning the Lancaster
team will leave for Platteville, where
they will take part in the tournament
to be held in that city, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday.
Dodgeville may play here after the
tournament.
