EXPLOSION OF BOILER
AT THE MASONIC HOME
This morning the small boiler
tpi the healing plant at the Ma
sonic Homo exploded, the force of
the explosion wrecking the boiler
and injuring the walls of the
hnilding in which the heating
plant is located. The escaping
steam scalded the fireman, Ken
neth Askwith, grandson of Super
intendent Askwith, though not
severely. Workmen are busy fix
ing up the larger boiler in order
to heat the buildings at the Home,
but the small boiler is a total
wreck and the damage to the
building cannot be fully estimated
until the superintendent returns
from Oamha, where he was called
on business this morning. This
accident places the Home in bad
shape for heat, and every effort
is being made to get the plant in
shape as soon as possible!
The- small boiler was used for
the purpose of the laundry at the
Home and had only been fired up
a short time when the explosion
docurred. The burns of young
Askwith were chiefly on the hands
and face -and were not dangerous,
although very painful. The small
boiler was connected with the
main boiler, and the workmen are
employed in fixing up the connec
tions that were injured by the. ex
plosion. DEES DF DIPHTHERIA AFTER

Thursday afternoon and reports
that his little son, who accidently
shot himself with a shotgun a
week ago. was petting along nicely
and thai the attending physician
says that the buy has a good
chance to recover. In our report
of the accident last week we stated
that the load of shot passed
through the boy's hip. It was
more serious, however, for instead
of passing through the hip it
passed through his side, leaving
a hole as large as a silver dollar.

well. Louisville Courier.

"The Shepherd -if the Hills," a
dramatization of Harold Dell
Wright's novel of the same name,
by Mr. Wright and Fishery W.
Reynolds, is announced for pro
duction at thc Parmele theater
Wednesday night, January 8.
Never in the history of publishing
of books has a novel attained such
a wide-spread popularity in the
short space of four years. It ha
exceeded by over 1 00.000 copies
the sale of ihe previous biggest
seller, "David Harum." In mak
ing a play oT his story the author,
in collaboration with Mr. Rey
nolds, has retained the big dra
matic possibilities of the book,
making the love story of "Young
Matt" and "Sammy Lane" his big
theme. The play would be in
teresting, even if it only depended
upon its excellent character
drawing to entertain, as the char
acters of the mountaineers of the
Ozarks are indeed unusual upon
the stage and lend a picturesque
ness that is really worth while.

poorer classes of the 'different
cities. The stories of the lives of
the people among whom they
worked opened the eyes of their
auditors to the real conditions
that exist among these people.

made a very deep impression on
their hearers. The C.Iee club gave
two very pleasing selections, and
the offertory, "The Ninety and
Nine," as played by Prof. Koihaba,
was most beautiful and made one
of the most powerful features of
