Thirteen Uvea were Bncri Jlcf J and scores of employes, visitors and othe-s were Injured. Huge boil ers were sent through tho roof of the structure and hurled hundrrds of feet. Nobody vlthln the boiler room sur vived to tell tho story of the accident, and It nay never be known what caused this explosion. A careful In vestigation however, convinced the experts tbit the explosion was tho re sult of ca'cleuBiicss on the part of an employe, vhoso own life nlso was lost. Five minties nfter tho explosion noth ing of the building but n pile of twist ed Iron, bricks and mortar remained. Sheets tf llamo sprang from the ruins atid the spectators realized that It would !e Impossible to savo the lives of those who were caught In tho wreck. Tie explosion was of such force that adjoining buildings were wrecked, tarn and twisted. Men, women and boys at work In adjoining department! were hurled through win dows to th ground below. Many of them escaped with but slight bruises, but mint ol tho victims were hurt to such an extent that It was necessary to remove them to hospitals. The others were taken to their homes.. A vigorous examination with a view to 'determining the causes that led to tho explosion of Swift & Co.'s boiler plant, when thirteen persons were killed, wns begun Sunday by mechan ical experts, representing the city and private Interests. Although those conducting the In vestigation were reticent In discussing tho progress of the work, the Intima tion given wns In accord with the original theories of tho accident, that Water Tender Owens, who paid the penalty of death for his supposed care lessness, was responsible for tho ca taatrophe.

William 1'lfe (onslders that clinging lend ballast Inside the frames in this fashion permits tho use of lighter frames than when the lend Is bolted outsldo In the usual mnnner. In order to obviate the possibility of warping the ateel frames by the heat of a large amount of molten lead, the ballast will ,.)0,.runJj1 1antltleH of about a ton dally.

LICKS UP A HALF MILLION Fire Near Itnt l'ortnee 1'rnrtlcallr !) Htroya Vitiligo A Rat Portage, Ont., Nov. 29, special says: Practically the entire buslnesB portion of the village of Normal, near here, waa wiped out by the fire which started In the extensive lumber yards there yesterday. The total loss Is estimated at half a million dollars, with an insurance of about one-third of that amount. The principal sufferers from the fire arc tho lumber companies and saw mills which made up tho only industry cf the village; 25,000,000 feet of Bawed lumber and logs were destroyed.

CONGRESS MEETS Opening Sossions of Houses Aro Brief PROFUSION O F FLOWERS Thn DrRk of I'npuhir Mrtnheri Am Weighted Down With llntiqiirtii Mention Ilrlef Memutje Head Tueilnjr Other New A Washington, D. C, Dec."!, dis patch says: Congress reconvened to day, but practically nothing wns done, tho rending of the president's message being deferred until tomorrow. The senate was In session twelve minutes the first dny of the cession, an adjourn ment until tomorrow being taken out of respect to the memory of the late Senator JaracB McMillan, who died during the recess. Rarely has the his toric chamber presented such an ap pearance aB It did today. The custom of placing flowers on the desks of sena tors on the opening day of the session Is one which long hns been followed, but the dlsplny today wob admittedly the most magnificent of any thnt here tofore have been seen. Mnny of the senators were early on the floor and kept busy exchanging greetings with old acquaintances. The gnllerles were packed to snffocation nnd hundreds stood outside the corridors anxious to gain admission. No business wan transacted beyond passing the customnry resolutions that the senate was ready to proceed to business, and fixing the hour of con vening the sessions at noon. The opening of the Fifty-seventh congress in the house was, ns usual, a spectacular event.. The galleries of the freshly decorated hall were packed to the doors with people prominent In society and politics and the flower show on the floor, although not as elaborate as usual, filled the chamber with perfume and added grace and beauty to the scene. The members wero good nntured and Jovial and there was no outcropping of partisan feeling. Speaker Henderson received a cor dial reception as he assumed the gavel, but beyond this there was no demon-" nt ration. The proceedings were purely per functory. A prayer, the calling of tho roll, the swenrlng In of members elect ed to fill vacancies created by death or resignation during the recess, the adop tion of the customary resolutions to appoint a committee to wait upon tho president, to Inform the senate that the house was rendy to transact busi ness and to fix the dally hour of meet ing summarized what was done. KILLED BY KICK FROM HORSE A Vlelon Animal Tnken to llrenk Kill It Monter "Pink" Drown, a well known horse men was killed at Broken Bow by a vi cious horse. Brown had been .in the employ of Tom Flint's feeding and breeding barns the past year. He to'ok a vicious horse to break about three months ago that belonged to TIerney Bros. The horse hnd been used on the farm and stock ranch of Silas Thomp son on the South Loup. Being hard to handle Brown wns employed to break hlin. He had been working the horse for nearly three months. Yesterday he drove the animal all dny with the kicking straps on and it seemed so docile that he hitched him up this morning without putting tho straps on. He hnd driven obtu two hours, making the delivery for tho meat market. He started home from Tlerney's house nc companled by C. L. TIerney and his nephew, Harry. The horse had only got a few rods from the house when it began kicking. TIerney got off the rig and pulled Harry off with him. They had Just struck the ground when the horse kicked Brown In the breast and knocked him to the ground. In falling Brown broke his neck and died Instantly. The unfortunate man was about fifty years old and single. He had no relatives here but has a brother at Winston, N. C, who has been noti fied. WEST IS NOT TO SUFFER Kerrrtury Wllxnti SuyK the Cattle 1I eiiBO Will he Ntumnari Out A Chicago, Dec. 2, dispatch says: 'The west Is not to suffer because of the epidemic of hoof nnd mouth disease among cnttlc, hogs nnd sheep In the New Englnnd States," says Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who arrived In Chlcngo last night to attend tho Ilnter natlonal Livestock exposition. "The Indications are that wo will bo successful In stamping out the dhicnse before It reaches this section," ho said. "My latest report from tho Infected district Is that the disease Is at a standstill. The next report will decide the number of men that 1 will send to New England. But you may be sure a lnrge number will go. "Before mnny days have passed there will be several hundred veterinary sur geons In the New England states and they will be Instructed to Inspect every cow, sheep nnd hog. I believe we need three or four weeks to slump out tho disease. "Congress will be nsked for a special appropriation to euro the disease per manently. I Intend to nsk Tor at least one million dollars for this purpose." Inquire Into Cuttle I'lasne The cattle bureau of tho Massachu setts board of agriculture began Mon day a systematic and exhaustive In spection of the cattle roportcd as hav ing the foot and mouth disease. In their tour of inspection the cattle bu reau representatives found (lfty cases In Littleton, and Wcstford, In Middle sex county nnd eighty cases nt Attle boro, In Bristol county. Reports of In fection were received from herds In Stowe. Dnnvers, Brldgewatcr and East Brldgewnter. Thousands of gallons of milk have been thrown away by local dealers. PERSHING ENDS HIS MARCH I'lriU White Man to Cro the Island of Mindanao Captain Pershing, with sixty men, has completed a march across the Is land of Mindanao from Camp Vicars to Illgan, says a Manila dispatch. This possibly Is the first tlmo white men have made tho Journey. Captain Persh ing visited the villages of Madaya and Marahul. On his way to Madaya ho found the Moros were surprised to learn thnt Americans were not mon sters ten feet tall, with horns and tails. At Marahul he addressed 500 Moros, telling them of the friendly purposes of the Americans. Representatives of the Nato nnd Bocayutan tribes, which are now at war, asked Captain Persh ing to arbitrate tho differences between them. The captain ngrecd to visit them and give his arbitration on his return Journey to Camp Vicars. No hosltllty was shown towards tho col umn on tho march. The constabulary in the Zambales province reports a repulsive incident of cruelty perpetrated by tho ladrones. Several columns of constabulary had been chasing the ladrones with the as sistance of friendly natives. Two of tho frlcndlles straggled from the column and were captured tby ladrones who amputated the tongue and gouged out of the eyes of one and sent him back to tho constabulary. Tho fate of tho other is unknown. The efforts to restore agriculture In the Philippine islands have been blocked by a dearth of field animals. Ninety per cent of the cnrlbos died In the original epidemic of rinderpest nnd of the smnll number left many havo died. The government had planned an ex tensive Importation of these animals to meet tho crying need nnd had ar range to hnve them immunized. It wns forced to abandon this plan on ac routn of lack of money to meet tho purchases. The general cultivation of the plan tations is impossible without them and tho nbsenco of any Immediate prospect of getting the field animals leaves the agricultural situation in a serious con dition. General Miles visited and inspected Sublg bay yesterday. He will possibly proceed direct to Hong Kong and Shanghai. VENEZUELA HAS CHANCED An Agreement Handed (lermanr nnd C.reat Hrltaln President Castro of Venezuela hand ed, probably on Thursday last, to tho German minister nt Caracas, a written acceptance of part of Gcrmanys claims, sufficient comprehenslxo to delay tho presentation of a Joint ultimatum by Germany and Great Britain, Is not rendering it altogether unnecessary. It Is also understood that Great Brit ain's demnuds will be satisfied. Foreign Secretary Von Rlchtoffen and the British foreign secretary, Ixrd lansdownc, are now In correspondence over Venezuela's change of front. This government considers thnt a peaceful settlement of the question in dispute is quite probable, and attributes Pres ident Ca.tros' yielding to the fact that he has become aware that the United States would not Interpose any obsta cle to the forcible collection of the claims of Germany and Great Britain. .Mine Worker Will Meet An Indlaunpolls, Ind., dispatch says: Secretary Wilson Is prepnrlng the call for tho annual convention of tho unit ed mine workers of America, which will assemble In this city on January 19. next.

The coming convention will be one of the most Important and most inter esting over held by tho organization. Tenmter Htrlke The executive council of the national teamsters' union ordered a strike of Its drivers against the People's Gas Light and Coko company at Chicago. Tho cause of tho strike, the teamsters as sert, is that the gas company dis charged several men for Joining the union. The strike Is not expected to seriously effect tho business of making gas for somo time. Tho drivers on strike number about 200.

'T dET Nebraska and Notro Dame Seek Company ot Big Nine KNOCK, BUT NOT LET IN Chicago Conference Decide to AiltnU Them WonJd Cao DtiMrlehllne Other New of General and Interetln- Character A Chicago, Nov. 28, special says Tho faculty conference of tho "big nine" universities rejected the applica tions of Notre Dame and Nebraska universities for admission to the con ference, and in bo doing made the more general decision tn limit ri, ference permanently to tho "big nine" at the annual meeting, held in this clty at the Victoria hotel. In line with this same Btand It was decided to limit tho entrance for the conference track meet to tho "big nine" universities and other colleges, following tho conference niles, to be invited by a special com mittee. The action was rather une.xepected, aB It had been understood that Ne braska had the backing of such alllc as Stagg of Chicago and Jones ot Michigan. Nebraska's winning footbnll team this Bcason was supposed to bo a strong card In her favor, while Notro Dame hoped to get In becnuso of her ad herence to the conferenco rules this year. Both, however, shared the same fate. The representatives of tho big nine, colleges of the middle west compris ing tho college athletic board, made up. of the universities of Chicago, Michi gan, Wisconsin, Minnesota.

"The conference wishes to havo It distinctly understood that there is no question that Notre Dame nnd Nebras ka are now living up to the conference eligibility rules," said Prof. M.W. Sam son, of Indiana, secretary of the com mittee and spokesman for tho confer ence. The case of Notre Dame was present ed by Prof. D. T. Murphy of that Insti tution, nnd the case of Nebraska by Prof. C. W. Clements. Nebraska made tho special plea that the Missouri val ley territory was not represented at all in the conference. The entire forenoon nnd part of the afternoon was spent in going over nil the ground on tho general question of enlarging the conference. It was ad mitted that it would probably raise, tho standard of athletica to havo alt tho colleges, for that Is what it was. agreed would come If the enlargement was continued. The argument which decided the whole question was, that to be effective, the conference must not be unwieldy. It Is not considered un wieldy now, because of the geograph ical location of the colleges. FIRE AT BROKEN BOW llulldlnK Ued for Normal College If Dentroyed The two-story brick building used by the business and normal college of. Broken Bow. Neb., was burned Friday afternoon.
