Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 15.—The Du- | pont company’s powder mills at Fonta- net, 18 miles northeast of this city, ex-; ploded at 9:15 Tuesday morning practically wiping cut the little mining town and killing 20 men and seriously; injuring 100 more. The mills burned and the bodies of the killed can not be} recovered. Every building in the town and within a radius of half a mile, in- cluding the school house is wrecked. | The Big Four railroad ran a special; train to the scene of the accident with, physicians and the injured are being brought to the hospitals in this city. Superintendent Monahan, of the Pow- der mill is missing and is supposed to be in the debris. A state of panic prevails among the residents of the surrounding country, the telegraph and telephone wires are down, Many {| autamobiles already have left this city with physicians ana medical supplies. The first explosion occurred in the glazing mill of the plant at 9:15. Quick: ly following the other mills blew up there being three distinct concussions at intervals of a few minutes, In’ the ‘ mills at the time, 75 to 80 men were at work, When the glazing mill went, up the men ran for their lives from, the other mills and many thus escaped | death, but received serious injuries.) At the first explosion the inhabitants | of the town ran from the buildings | and thus saved themselves. No one was killed in the town, although there! is not a building left standing. At 10:45 90 minutes after the; first explosion, the heat from the burn: ing mills exploded the great powder magazine situated in a hollow several hundred yards from the mills. It con- tained many thousand kegs of POWOse and the concussion was even greater} than those from the explosions of the mills. Among those injured from the maga: zine explosion were several physicians who were at work among the dead and dying. A freight train standing on the sid: ing leading to the powder mills was partly destroyed by the concussion and took fire, The heat from the burning mills and freight train.was so great that it was impossible to remove many of the bodies from the wreckage. THighteen mangled bodies were taken to the) morgue to await identification. In jured were found scattered every: where and were collected and relief | given as rapidly as possible. Not a) house is left standing in the town Fronts, roofs, sides, and even founda tions of many buildings have been blown to atoms. Great holes are torn; in the ground, fences have vanished and household goods from the ruined! homes are in confused heaps of dej pris in all directions. The people ol the town who had rushed from their homes at the first explosion were saved because of this. The shock from the exploding magazine wrecked the} buildings in the town. The first body! taken from the wrecked mills was that of Doctor Carroll, an employe. It was burned almost crisp, but the man was still alive and begged for some; one to shoot him and put him out | ' { his misery. He lived but a few min utes. The bodies of two other em ployes, Ves Dial and his son, were found near Carroll. Will Dalton was found unconcious his body badly mangled. He cannot live. Charles Wells, engineer on the; freight train is badly injured. He is} burned and his left leg is fractured. A brick school building a quarter of 8) mile from the mills, was wrecked and many of the children within were in jured, some seriously, but none fatally A farm house three-quarters of a mile away was totally destroyed. | \ | The school at Fontanet had just been called to order when the explo sion occurred. Forty of the childrer; were injured. Late Tuesday afternoon it was esti mated that there are 1,200 homeless, in Fontanet and that fully 600 have been more or less injured, the greates number only slightly. Not a person ft; met but has blood in evidence eithes| from his own wounds or from those; of people he has been assisting. It is impossible to get a close estimate o:| the list of dead, but it will number between 20 and 40, while a number o the Injured’ will die. Cincinnati, O., Oct. 15.—A sligh shock similar to that of an earthquake was noticed here at 9:30 a. m. Tuesday Professor Porter ci the University o| Cincinnati reporting it as very slight but distinctly noticeable. In southert Indiana several points reported « shock in somewhat more severe form and it was also reported from Hamit| ton, Ohio. { and heifers, $1.75@4.00. | Natives, $3.00@5.35; lambs, $3.50@7.15. ! » $4. per barrel; $1.50@3.85 per bushel box; choice, $3.00¢ | ee =e eens EXTRA SESSION TALK. Kansas State Officials Believe Primary’ and Tax Levy Questions Will Cause One. Topeka, Oct. 15.—It seems to be the general opinion among state officials that there will be an extra session of the legislature within 60 days to take; up a primary election law and to make | ‘an amendment to the tax law. The primary iuw is the proposition now, being talked about most. An oversight in drawing the tax) commission law also is causing trouble | The law says that all property must be asse.. | at its real valu@and the commissioners have indicated that, they are going to follow this to the| letter. No provision is mad¢ for limit ing the levy. Most counties and cities make the levies on a basis of one | fourth to one-half the actual value and! may now make a levy of twenty mills. The assessment at the full value with the levies remaining as at present) would raise the taxes abnormally and; cause trouble, Many state officials are | asking the governor to call a specia) session to limit the amount of the levy under the new law. A Leavenworth Plot. Leavenworth, Kan., Oct. 15.—Twelve sticks of dynamite wéth caps and elec tric wires, arranged for exploding them, were found In the rear of 8 “joint” at 200 Cherokee street late Monday night.

Why do more women wear “Queen Quality” Shoes than any others in all the world? Why 1s it that on the fees of fashionable women—those who choose with discrimination, absoutely regardless of price—more “Queen Quality’ Shoes are seen than any other make in all the world? Behind these facts les a reason. And one well fitted pair of “Queen Quality” Shoes will disclose that reason to be thelr inimiteble style and superb fitting qualities. Thereis but one woman who is ever dissatisfied with “Queen Quality” Shoes. Thatis she who does not take tho pains to get the correct fit for her foot. Being made in an endless variety of shapes and styles, and for all the diffsrent sizes and types of feet, 16 fs obviously im- portant to get a shoe of the size and shape intended for your foot, and not one designed for a totally differ ent foot. If you will but insiss upon being properly fitted with one pair of “Queen Quality” Shoes, the comfort, pleasure,and satisfaction they afford will but add one more to the ever- growing throng of “Queen Quality” ethuslasts.
