TWENTY KILLED IN CAFE
Thirty Others Injured When Building
Falls on Restaurant

Apron, O., May 16.--The building
above them collapsed upon a crowd in
the restaurant Of Serbs Brothers here,
and twenty of the diners and employees
were killed outright, and thirty others
injured, many seriously.
A blast for an excavation in a lot
adjoining the structure. formerly the
Beacon Journal building, sent its walls
topping down like a lot of pasteboard
cards.
Every table in the cafe beneath was
filled when the tons of material came
down, crushing the life out of some of
the victims, and pinning many of the
mangled survivors under the debris.
In a great cloud of dust rising from
the tomb of debris, firemen, policemen
and volunteers at once began the work
Of rescue, and several hours later the
bodies of most Of the dead had been
recovered and the injured removed 10
hospitals.

A POLITICAL BOOM"
How the Idea of the Expression Came
to Its First User.

How the Idea of the Expression Came
to Its First User.
The word BOOM" as applied to pO-
litical movement, so far as known, was
first used by the editor Of Republican
newspaper in st. Louis, Mo-, pending
the return of General L. S. Grant from
the trip around the world undertaken
by him in 1876, Immediately following
his retirement from the presidency of
the United States.
The term was used so persistently
and SO cleverly that 1t soon began to
lodge in popular thought and to take
on the meaning which the editor In
tended to convey when he declared
that the movement looking to Il third
term for Grant was blooming" or
when he employed the invention as a
noun and spoke of the Grant BOOM"
The idea had come to him from a
common expression used by the peo-
pie along the Mississippi river. When
that stream was at floodtide and sweep
ing everything before it it was said to
be booming" The st. Louis editor
aimed to convey the thought that the
movement for the nomination of
Grant for the presidency in 1880 was
like the onward sweep of great river
under such conditions. and therefore q
boom.
The term soon came into general use
and has been applied in the United
States ever since, alike TO spontaneous
and preconcertei or organized move
ments looking to the placing of some
person in an office Of Importance, not
necessarily. but generally. the presi-

Four Great Musicians.

Palestrina was a revolutionist in his
day, but is now virtually obsolete even
for the severest classicists- Gluck was
as radical an tnnovatOr as Wagner,
yet it is only occasionally and with
difficulty that one of his works can
now lie briefly resuscitated. Beetho-
ven was a mailman even to many Of
the best musicians as late as 1905.
when, as that musical veteran, Pro
fessor Haupt. himself said, the Fifth
Symphony" was rehearsed in Berlin
for the first time and the orchestra
dashed the music from the racks. de-
claring it was crazy and could never
be played. Now this same Fifth Sym
phony" is considered model Of form,
and its composer is the cherished idol
Of conservatives and classicists.

GYPSY MOTH SPECIMEN MOUNTS
Being Presented to Libraries by State
Commissioners OF Agriculture

Specimen mounts of the gypsy moth
are being furnished by Commissioners
OF Agriculture L. S Brigham for exhi.
bition in the libraries of the state.
The present distribution includes
practically all the public libraries OF
the eastern side of the state and those
located at other points considered in
particular danger of infestation
this insect through railroad or auto
mobile traffic. 1t is proposed ultimate
ly to provide each public library in the
state with one of these mounts.
The specimens have been collected
and mounted by the commissioners
assistant in charge of insect suppress
sion Harold Lscl8ailey of Bradford,
Each mount contains an egg mass, a
caterpillar. a male and female pupa,
and a male and female moth. PrintC
cards of explanation accompany them.
The gypsy moth is highly destruc-
tive in it's caterpillar stage, both to
orchards and forest growths, and has
caused tremendous damage in the
other New England states.
The fact that the line of its progress
since its Introduction into Massachu.
sets has gradually extended until it
now touches our eastern border and
that several egg masses have been
covered in the state, makes it impera.
tive that every effort be made to pre-
vent the establishment of the pest
here.
For this reason it is hoped that peo-
t pie will familiarize themselves with
the appearance of the insect in its sew
era stages by examining these speci.
mems, and that they will at once mott.
