"Posey" caught on and sought coyer immediately. The farmers did not get after the rail roads soon enough, was the unanimous opinion of twenty prominent citizens who hurried to the depot this morning to take the 7.45 train for Omaha, only to learn that the time had been changed, without a moments notice to the public, to 7.30, and that the train was gone. There was somj vry expressive language used when it dawned on the crowd that they were left. ' The many friends of J. B.

There is no fire apparatus in the village and the citizens turned out with buckets, but could do nothing toward distinguishing the lames. When they saw they could do nothing their efforts- were directed toward saving the contents of the build ing. While moving the goods about fifty pounds of dynamite, which was kept m the store, exploded, with dis astrous effect. The bodies of John Smith and Jere miah Jones wt're horribly mangled and mutilated beyond recognition. About twenty-five persons in all were more or less hurt.

Myers, badly hurt, struck by Hying bricks. Physicians were quickly summoned who attended the injured. The report of the explosion was heard five miles distant, and the shock was so great that nearly all the windows in the village were broken. The fire depart ment of this City was called upon for as sistance and the fire apparatus was put on a special train, but before the3 could start word reached them that the fire was under control. Rain came down in torrents, which put the fire out, other wise half the town would have been in rums. A Had Collision in Iowa. Dks Moinks, May 20.

Conservative Menibei'H irowlii(; Anvloun Over the Outlook Mnubern of the Sen ate Commit tee on 1'lliuiwo lteHleecl ly TarilV Talkers Weather and the Crop, Washington. May 26. The end of the silver debate in the senate is not yet in sight. An effort will be made to close it by the time the tariff bill is ready to report to the senate from the finance committee, but that is a matter of the indefinite future. No recent ef fort has leeu made to bring about a Re publican caucus on the silver question. Put one may be held before Wie end of this week, and when called it will de termine the time for closing the debati Mr. Pr.gh will address the senate to- dav on the silver bill. It has been agreed that this measure will be laid aside, however, on Tueday so that the liquor bill, which is fathered by Mr. Wilson of Iowa, may be discussed. The liquor bill will be debated until a final vote on it is had, which may bo in a day or two. The uncertainty surround ing the fate ot tins measure leaves the programme for the latter part of the week in doubt. The committee on appropriations ex pects to get the legislative and fortifica tions appropriations bills before the senate during the week, and possibly the diplomatic bill. Anyone of these may be called up, and when tho liquor bill is out ot the way JUr. bherman ana jir. Aldrich are down for speeches on the silver bill, and if the liquor bill is dis posed of in time ard the appropriations bills do not interfere, they will deliver them the latter part of the week. It is likely that the calendar will not be consid ered on Saturday. General business of an important nature is pressing too hard. No programme of business for the house has been determined upon by the Republican leaders, ;wid the matter will rest with the committee on rules, which will probably bring in a resolution set ting apart certain days during tiie week for the consideration of specified measures.- If to-day is not entirely consumed bv district busiuess the discussion of the river and harbor bill will be concluded and its passage moved. If there is not time then the bill win be finished on Tuesdey. It was tln intention of tho elec tions committee to nave tne con tested case of McDuli'ee (Repub lican) against Turpki (Democrat) from Alabama, passed upon, but action in the matter will probably be post- poned for a week. A pproprhttion liiil-i i'ilin;; Up. Washington, 11. iy 20. Conserva tive members of congress are beginning to feel a little uneasy about the way appropriation bills are piling up this session. The amount of appropriations on bills already pas.,e l ttu.l ponding, point to an aggregate tiiat will e.coeed government revenues by many millions during the coming fiscal year. Govern ment revenue trom ail sources ft or the year, including the postal revenue, was placed by the treasury department recently at -K0,-i00,iM)0. The regular annual appropriation bills, evclu.sive of deficiencies, will amount to about -332H,-000,000, and the permanent appropria tions, including the sir iking funds, will reach $101,000,000. The deficiency bills will, according to the estimates ot the members of the senate appropriations committee, be at least ;Jl,ooO,ooo. That makes an aggregate of '450,000, Ono of appropriations exclusive of the depend ent pension bill, which, if it becomes a law as passed by the senate, will call for $26,000,000. Appropriations for the increase ot the navy, a,s passed by the house, amount to $80,000,000. There has been $1,500,000 appropriated for the world's fair. If the river and harbor bill, and the Galveston harbor bill, and the one for the lake channel between the upper and lower lakes all p;u;s, that will make $32,000,000 more to be added to the appropriations. Ihe miscellaneous appropriations at the last session amounted to $PJ,2,"S-:,79.'5, and they are likely to amount to a good deal more at this session, as the public building bills already reported in the house carry an aggregate appropriation of $14,000,000, to say nothing of the sen ate bills, but it the miscellaneous appro priations carry only the same amount as last session the total of appropriations will amount to .47,355,b!o, leaving a deficiency of $07,0o0,0o0. These figures ind estimates leave out of sight possible appropriations tor coast aerenes, the direct tax bill and many other purposes which, if made, will swell the deficit next year considerably above $100,- 000,000. Thc AVant a Hearing. Washington, May 20. The members of the senate committee on finance are being besieged by manufacturers and importers who wish them to give hear ings in regard to clauses in tiie tariff bill. At ihe urgent request of Senator McMillan a hearing was given to the ! finecut tobacco men last Thursday. An J effort to keep the matter secret was un successful, and now the committee is experiencing some difficulty in dodging important agents of the different manu facturing interests. A number of amendments were agreed to by the ways and means committee at the last moment, which Mr. McKinley had no opportunity to present to the house be fore the hour fixed for voting on the bill arrived. The men who represent the interests which would be affected by these amendments feel that they have a claim upon the finance committee now, and it is very difficult to refuse them a hearing. But, unfor tunately, as Mr. Aldrich, a member of the committee, says, these tactics have become known to others who have amendments which they desire to see adopted, and now every man who applies to the committee for a hearing asserts that his particular claim has received the sanction of Mr. McKinley. These assurances are becoming so general now that the members of the commit tee are beginning to look upon them with sus--ptcion, and as a result, a great many worthy applicants for hearings may have some flight injustice done them. The committee will give a few hear imza before reDortimr tha bill. Vacancies. The following is a lmt of legislative vacancies as given in tho Ileo this morn ing: In tho penato C H.
