E. WALTON J. R. JENKINS JACCARD | Potteries, Wi AN INDIANA INFERNO. The People Driven from Their Homes by Natural Gas. Shelbyville, Ind., Aug. 14.—Much | excitement still prevails over the re- cent gas explosion. It is now dis- covered that the whole neighbor- hood in the vicinity of the young volcano is saturaied with natural gas, and the soil isfull of it. One can run a crowbar down any place } and light the gas, which proceeds - from the soil in virious quantities. - This would indicat that the gas has | found its way thragh the limestone } and in many place; fractures in the stone permit it to escape into the | sand and gravel inmediately below j the surface soil, wiich partially pre- vents its escape ino the air. This bears out the theory that gas has for some time been ecaping from the sides of the gas vell and diffusing | itself in the sand md gravel below _ the limestone. ' In Van Buren trwnship, 24 miles north of the late euption, the water wells which have leen sunk 20 to 30 feet, a few feet bebw the superstruc- ture of stone have been broken into _ by gas three milessway, and the peo- - ple have abandond the use of the water, cased the vells and are now | using the gas for ‘uel. The whole | township seems t< be filled with the combustible, and the inhabitants are threatened wth disaster. No telling but the lighting of a match may yet blowtwo or three town- ships into smitherens. It is alto- gether probable hat the diffusing of gas in the soilnore or less affects the growing crop. The great ques- tion may yet be # to the advisabili- ty of sinking gaswells, or, if sunk at all, whether oher methods should not be used to cae and confine the explosive. Pockts of gas are no doubt forming beneath the lime- stone all over th region of the gas belt, and it is aly a question of time when it wil. break forth with terrific force. Dis yet a question | as to which is th most hazardous, | the accumulatior of gas in pockets | followed by erujtions similar to the | Waldron blow ot or permitting it | to permeate the ioil as it is now do » ing in Van Bure: and Noble town | _ ships, poisoningthe water and dis-| ‘easing the air. ‘t is reported to-day ° ‘KANSAS CITY COKANSAS CITY MO.

The debate on the McKinley bill continues in the senate, but no ma- terial changes have been made. It is of this bill that Mr. Blaine said: There is not a section or a line in the entire bill that will open a mar- ket for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. But nearly every line contains a tax on the farmers for the benefit of the manufacturers. Saturday the tax on cotton ties, and on wire for bailing hay were discussed, but no amendments were accepted, though the McKinley bill provides for a large increase in the tax on these necessities for the farmers. Monday the tin-plate tax was con- sidered, and the infamous provisions of the McKinley bill were defended. The proposed increase of the tax on tin plate isa direct imposition on the farmer and the laborer; it isa prohibitory tax on household uten- sils and is a direct interference with the canning industry. It is true, as Mr. Blaine says, that there is not a line in the bill which will open a market for farm products but Mr McKinley and his friends re- ply that this is not the purpose of the bill. Its sole object 1s to enable the American manufacturer to “strengthen his hold on the home market,” which, being interpreted, means to permit him to run his hand deeper into the pocket of the farnfer.

Butler,-Mo- The nomination of Judge David A. DeArmond for congress at Butler, insures the democratic party of this district a staunch and able leader. Henry county presented the name Jackson township, in this county. Mr. Scott is a native of old St. Clair, and according to Mr. Grantley and others from this city, who attended the convention, is a wheel-horse in » but thought Adrian would draw him sooner or later. Boys be careful how you run your horses from church, take warning from the sad accident near Johns- nose and bruising him terribly and also knocking George senseless for sometime. Boys should be more careful how they run horses at night. of a gentleman who has been a par- ty leader in this state for nearly a quarter of a century, and her citi- zens made the best contest they could to secure his nomination, as a political gathering, possessing in-- fluence and good judgement. On the ballot previous to his with drawal Mr. Grantley received thirty- five votes and most assuredly has Oh, dear doctor, it’s too bad that Buddy Carroll has not trodden the soil of Bates long enough to repre- sent us.

Now with the true loyalty which true democrats always evince, they with their chief, bow with sub- great reason to feel proud of his fod- lowing in the convention. In the nomination of Judge De- Armond the democratic party has: placed before the people a very good Ballard Thursday.

There [was a full and free discussion of matters af- fecting the work of the campaign and a plan ofaction was mapped out The meeting adjourned with the feeling by all present that the out- look for democratic success was bright and that the fight should be waged vigorously from now until November election. In the state meeting of the Far- mers’ and Laborers’ Union, at Seda- lia last week, one hundred and six counties were represnted. The mem- bership in the state is estimated at about 150,000. any man.

As a state senator, as a com- missioner of the supreme court, as a circuit judge, he has been up to the mark, and has filled all expect» tions.
