VICTIM Of EXPLOSION
FORMER LANCASTER GIRL SUI.
FERS WRECK OF HOME IN WEST
HOUSE in FLINDERS.

A former resident of this vicinity
passed through most thrilling ex-
perience one night last week, at her
home in Graybull, Wyoming. 1t will
be recalled by many of the readers of
the Herald that Miss Clara Wieland,
daughter of Chris. Wieland, Hurri-
cane, was married to William Hobbs
in the west. Last year they built fine
bungalow on their property at Gray
bull and moved in
One night last week they were
awakened by the odor of gas, which
was very bad and already mad effect
ed them. They raised a window to
allow the offensive and poisonous flu
i'd to escape. Soon the house be-
came cold, and Mr.. Hobbs built fire
in the kitchen stove. No sooner was
this blazing we'll when the gas ig-
nited and an explosion occurred that
blew the bungalow to pieces. Mr..
and Mrs Hobbs escaped with their
lives, although Mr. Hobbs was badly
burned, his hands, face and feet suf-
fering badly. But for the heavy wool
en- clothing he had on he would have
been fatally burned. Mrs. Hobbs was
bruised The house was a tcta!
wreck, and the wonder is that the oc-
cupants survived the experience.

A number of breeders of the Ches
ter White swine of Grant county met
at Lancaster last Thursday, Jan. 80,
and held their first annual meeting of
the Grant County Chester White
Breeders association Harry NJ Rice

Chester White swine have made
rapid gains in popularity throughout

whether Chester Whites are good, one
has but to note the winnings every

ARROGANCE THAT LED
TO A TERRIBLE FALL

A fair illustration of the intoler-
able arrogance of the ruling classes
in Germany is contained in this dis
patch:
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-"The Duke of
Anhalt owned two-thirds of all the
land in the state, and the masses of
the people One-third; yet the dukes
land was all free from taxation and
the one-third was taxed to keep up
everything.
But that wasn't the immediate
cause of the popular uprising against
the duke.
There was hardly horse left in
the state for agricultural purposes,
and the farmers had to pull their wag-
ons by hand. The dukes royal stab
lie, however, maintained So horses
which were used only for the dukes
pleasure, riding and driving. He used
to drive every day, passing the popu-
lace pulling their wagons. The first
thing done, after kicking him from
the throne, was to confiscate those
So horses"

One-high wages; two-don't work !;

four-no punishment; fve-no taxa
ton. Said NJ Oudendyk: 81 wish to
give a solemn warning to the work
ing classes of all nations against the
highfalutin notions which | have seen
in Russia. Bolshevism I say without
exaggeration, is the end of civiliza-
ton. I have known Russia intimate
ly for twenty-five years under the old
regime and under the new conditions.
Never have the working classes of
Russia suffered as they are doing at
the present moment Notwithstanding
all that the present so-called ruling
classes in that country choose to tell

Latest from Peace Conference.

PARASITIC delegates of the five
great powers are now in a position to
compare clearly their own aspirations
and those of all their allied friends
and to see the differences that must
be reconciled
The maximum of hopes, often ov-
erlapping, has been told freely and it
remains for the peace conference 10
adjust them into co-ordinateo
whole. The desires of the several
countries as presented may be com
pressed thus:
France-First of all France wants
Alsace-Lorraine Internationally and
the right to discuss and ultimately
to fix the French frontiers in their re-
lation to the Rhine, which may re-
quire the creation of buffer states
One of these would be the Palatinate
and another Rhenish Prussia. France
desires also to annex the basin of the
Sarre river, which might be called
q remuneration.
France will insist that so far as
the left bank of the Rhine further to
the north is concerned, the confer
ence should forbid military works of
any kind barracks bridgeheads, forts
and fortresses-in that zone. The
feeling is that the people inhabiting
that zone should be free to decide
for themselves whether they wish to
join France, form an independent
state or return to Germany.
The French bill for reparation is
not yet complete, but it has been an
nounced in the chamber of deputies
that it will be about $4,000, 900 900
francs, three billion dollars.

cause of alleged violations of writ

Cassville vicinity, and either sub

attracted large number of onlook-
ers, for there were present the pro-
verbal multitude of witnesses" 1t
was tried before his honor, Judge
George Clementson, a jury not having
been called. It was evident that there
was to the case a strong local end,
from the interest it awoke over Cass-
vile way. The roads were good and
the aspect of the courtroom quite re-
sembled town meeting.
