 Campaigns Now Dull

FAIRFIELD, Wis. Oct. 17.-Poli. tical rallies have lost their TO. nance for the three survivors of the Fairfield Martial band which for GO years has played its way through many states and national campaigns.
 "Torchlight processions on horse back, with the band up in front in a four-horse wagon, made your blood tingle,' said w. S. Guinter original snare drummer. Tt does not seem so inspiring to ride in a motor truck"
 Sylvester Belville, bass drum mer, and Theodore Bennett, fifer, are survivors of the Il original members of the band

 DYNAMITED
Mysterious Explosion Takes Place Miraculous
 Escapes

VERDIGRE, Neb., Oct. IA county school dynamiting, sim liar to that which occurred near Ottawa. Illinois, a year ago, has the Verdigre countryside aroused today.
 Two small children were in- jured.
 The dynamite was planted in the stove in the school room.
 Only the fact that the children had gone outside to play just before the explosion rocked the building prevented a heavy casualty list
 The stove was blown to pieces and large hole was blown in the roof.
 Miss Agnes Motica, teacher, had just walked to the door to call the children back when the dynamite explodeds and she es- caped harm.
 No motive is advanced.
