Fuller IeinlK Coiscornins: tlie
owtIer ICxplowion JIou-
aluy Urcnins.
Ou Saturday last a cir load of 7t0
boxes of what was marked as "com
mou blasting powder," was receiv
ed in Council Bluffs from Chicago,
over the Rock Island road. The
powder was billed to J.O. Reynolds,
of Denver. Although billed as sta
ted, it was fiuspected to be "giant
powder," or what is known as dyna
mite. When taken to the Union
Pacific by the Rock Island company
the Union Pacific company prompt
ly and positively refused to receive
it and it was taken to the Rock Is
land yarde. The Union Pacific
based their refusal to receive this
car on the strict rule of the compa
ny, which absolutely refuse to re
ceive or haul any giant powder or
any other high explosive The car
was bidc-tracked near the round
house of the Rock Island yards,
where it was intended to bo left
until orders for its disposal were
received from Chicago. The em
ployes knew the nature of the car's
contents and none of them would
go near it. Shortly after 4 o'clock
Monday afternoon, some employe of
the cotnpauy made the horrifying
discovery that this same car
was ox FINE.
Knowing well what the frightful
result would Boon bo, tho news of
this discovery was spread rapidly
through the yards. Fortunately but
few men were working in tho yards
and none in tho freight office, but
all were notified. Word was at
once sent General Agent Stevens,
who at once sent an engine to the
Bcp.no with men, with orders to pull
the car to an out-of-the-way placo if
possible, but not to run any risk.
When tho engine reached the spot
the fire was regarded to have gained
too much headway to attempt to in
terfere with the car. A few minutes
later tho explosion, -iwful in effect,
occurred. The concussion utterly
demolished tho freight office, the
round house, repair shops, four en
gines and some forty or fifty freight
cars, aud one or two passenger
coaches, beside demoralizing track,
telegraph wires and adjoining build
ings. Hundreds of windows, large
French plate aud common glass
were broken to pieces by the shock
in every part of tho city.
At tho depot a hole fully fifteen
feet deep and forty-five foot in diam
eter, was blown in the ground near
where tho car stood. Wc learn that
several largo windows in Omaha,
and several in Missouri Valley, the
latter twenty miles away, were also
shattered by the concussion. Small
houses south of the depot were bad
ly shattered, and in one instance a
piece of a car whoel was blown sev
eral hundred feet and fell through
the roof of a small building, injur
ing several members of the family,
aud quite seriously a little girl who
it is thought will die.
At this time, it is of course impos
sible to make any estimate of the
total loss sustained by tho terrible
explosion, but it will undoubtedly
run up into tho hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. The loss of the
Rock Island's property is very
heavy, aud tho company is thought
to be liable for all damage through
out the city by the explosion, which
will be many thousand dollars.
But for the prompt action of Agent
Stevens, in having all employes and
persons in tho vicinity notified of
tho expected explosion great loss of
life would undoubtedly havo oc
curred, and a pall of sorrow aud
Badness would have huug over our
city to-day.
Considering the terrible force and
extent of tho explosion, it is almost
miraculous that no fatal accident
resulted, aud tho Rock Island com
pany can, under tho circumstances,
really consider itself coming out of
tho matter much better thau could
possibly have been expected.
Council Bluffs, la., Sept. 27.
The terrible explosion in this city
on Monday ovoning, mentioned in
the dispatches yesterday, proves to
havo been even more awful in its
effect, and the results even more
disastrous than at first supposed.
The scene presented on the grounds
is simply beyond description. The
round house of the company is al
most totally demolished. The car
aud repair shops, ninety by one
hundred feet, is a total wreck, and
about fitly box cars were blown to
pieces. Four engines were burned
in tho ruins of the rouud house, but
are not greatly damaged. Patrick
Barnctt, fireman of engine 9, which
was in the house at tho time, was in
tho cab of the engine when the ex
plosion took place, but miraculously
escaped oven a scratch. His coat,
which he had hung outside of tho
cab, wa? torn in shreds. Four or
five small frame residences, COO rods
south of the spot, wcro demolished,
aud the occupant of one Mr. Van
Lurou was struck by a large piece
of wheel, and will probably die. A
rock weighing 400 pounds was
blown from the foundation of the
round house three-quarters of 'a
mile, aud in falling sank almont out
of sight in tho earth. Reports re
ceived by the Nonpareil to-day
from towns from twenty to fifty
miles away state the shock was very
plainly felt at that distance, and in
many places people regarded it a
an earthquake shock. Windows
were broken in houses twelve miles
from the city. Tho loss sustained
by the Rock Island company will
probably be near half a miPion dol

refeidiit Arthur.
The following is the oddresi of
Chester A. Arthur, alter lakiug the
oath of oflice as president :
"For the fou th time in the his
tory of the republic ite chief mag
istrate has beeu removed by death.
All hearts are filled with grief and
horror at the hideous crime which
has darkened our land and memory.
The murdered President's protracted
Bufferings, his uuyiclding fortitude,
his example and achievements; his
life and the pathos of his death will
forever illumine the pages of our
histor'. For the fourth time the
officer elected by the people and or
dained by the constitution to fill the
vacancy created is called to assume
the executive chair. The wisdom
of our fathers, foreseeing even the
most dire possibilities, made sure
the government should never be im
periled because of the uncertainty
of human life. Men may die but
tho fabric of our free institutions
remains unshaken. No higher or
more assuring proof could exist of
the strength and permanency of
popular government than the fact
that though the man chosen of the
people be struck down, his con
stitutional successor is peacefully
ttftollrwl ttrWlinn f a ort rt at n i ti
cscopta sorrow which mourns the
bereavement. All noble aspirations
of my lamented predecessor which
found expression in his life, mcas
uies devised and suggested during
his brief administration to correct
alucs and enforce economy, to ad
vance prosperity and promole geu
erl welfare, to pecure domestic
security aml'mainfaiu friendly and
honorable relations with tho nations
of the earth, will be garnered in the
hearts of the people, and it will be
in earnest endeavor to provide aud
hc.) that the nation shall profit by
hid example and experience. Pros
perity blesses our country, our fiscal
policy as fixed by law, is well
grounded and generally approved.
No threatening issue mars our for
eign intercourse, and by wisdom,
integrity and thrift, our people may
be trusted to continuo undisturbed.
TI e present assured career of peace,
tranquility and welfare, tho gloom
and anxiety which have exhausted
the country, must mako repose cs-
pe:ially welcome now. No demand
for speedy legislation has been
ho ird; no adequate occasion is ap-pa-cnt
for an unusual session of con
gross. The constitution defines the
functions and powers of the execu
tive as clearly as those of other de
pa -tments of tho government, and
he must answer for tho just exercise
of the discretion it permits aud the
pc'formance of duties it imposes.
Summoned to these high duties and
responsibilities, and profoundly con
scious of their magnitude and grav
ity, I assume the trust imposed by
tho constitution, relying for aid on
divine guidance, and tho virtue aud
pa riotism and the intelligence of
tho American people."
The Poor Irlnrriecl 31 an.
The drouth that has prevailed in
this neighborhood, and in fact, all
oviir the country, has played havoc
wi.h the crops. With the exception
of bay aud oats, none of the crops
this year come up to last year, and
some arc almost total failures. The
truit what there is of It is of an
infsrior quality, being tasteless and
dry. In this condition of things,
prices, of course, have gone away
up. and the poor married man
wi 1 havo to go down into his pock
ets deeper thau ever this winter.
Fo- instance, potatoes, on which so
much depends, are retailing at $1.25
pet bushel and may go up to $2.00
before the winter is over. This time
las year this toothsome vegetable
could be bought for 50 cents.
Peaches, which were selling last
season for 50 cents are this year com
manding $1.25. Apples were a drug
in .he market last fall at any pi ice
under 25 cent; they are now scl
lin.j at 50 cents. Tomatoes, which
were allowed to decay on tho vines
las year, arc this year transformed
in fa a luxury and command 70 cents
pci bushel. Tl,o breadstuffs, corn
and wheat, have not sold so high
for years. Old corn thib time last
yetr was plenty at 40 cents per
but hel ; the same article this year is
selling at 75 cents. Wheat is now
$I.:10, and flour $1.75 per sack, while
lasi fall wheat was .$1.00 and flour
$1.20. Oats arc about 15 cents high
er han they were last fall. Butter
ami eggs are both selling for double
the price they did last September.
Thus it will bo seen that almost
every country product will cost
from fifty to a hundred per cent,
more than it did last year. This
lookR rather discouraging, especially
to tho poor with largo families to
feed. But whilo making compar
isons it should be borne in mind that
the crops last year wero unusually
abundant, and prices correspond
ingly cheap. Cadiz (0.,) Sentinel.
President Arthur.
It is gratifying to note that the ex
pressions of the public press, so far
ha"e been of the most cordial aud
generous kind, for tho new president.
The fact is recognized thut ho comes
to tho office through the most trying
ordeal in the history of tho country.
The difficulties which menace him
arc not only peculiar, but so formid
able that they might well appall the
bn.vest and most self-reliant of men.
These difficulties may be intensified,
bu; cannot ho removed by captious
opposition. The good of the coun-
try demands that no impediments
shall be thrown in the wav of au
early at.d dju'ment of the machin
ery of government, to the public
necessity. Business of all kinds in
the oflb'ial bureaus has been too long
neglected. The certainty which: at
tended the late president's long and
distressing illness have had their ef
fect upon all the departments. Dis
order everywhere prevails. Nor is
it any reproach to thoso in charge of
public affairs that such conditions
exist. No one could foreseo how the
dangerous wound which had strick
en down the chief magistrate would
terminate. Should it result fatally,!
as it ha, the probabilities pointing
to a possible modification, if not a
radical change in executive policy
certuinh in the instrumentalities
through which that policy should be
made effective. So public business
was premittcd fo drift into varying
and unsettleing currents, until they
had merged into formidable diffi
culties that have become menacing.
To right things that have gone
wroug, and give a new impulse to
public business will be the first duly
of the new president. In this he
should have the public confidence
and trust. For a time at least po
litical agitations would be out of
place. The asperities of poli'ical
oppositions the strife forj official
promotion the eager thirst for per
gonal advancement can aflbrd to be
still in the presence of the great
calamity wnich touches the hoar! of
the co'intry with inexpressible sad

Ciiro of Farm Implements.
We have repeatedly called atten
tion to tin: iicc&jriily of properly
caring lor farm machinery, and yel
in passing through the country we
notice that not more than one in five
are in the habit of doing so, aud why
such is the case is very strange. We
frequently see a reaper, perhaps
a f I er one season's use, left standing
in the field, or perhaps still worse
drawn up under a free for the poul
try to roost, on, there to Ho and rot
out, possibly before it is paid for,
while a plow in one plane, a harrow
in another and so on through the
whole list of machinery, all in the
same condition.
This wc claim is entirely unnec
essary. There is no man able to
own a piece of machinory that is not
able to furnish some kind of a shel
ter for it. Suppose our horses were
to stand out in all kinds of weather,
how long would they last, find yet
machinery wears out from ovpopure
as fast as the horse. If you had a
horse that cost the same as a header
or self-binder, would you allow him
to stand tied to a tree during all
kinds of weather? Wc think not.
Then why allow the machine fo
ntand out one is as valuable as the
other.
Where a good frame building
cannot be nirnished, a few poles put
up and covered with hay will
answer by taking out the finer parts
of the machinery such as the knives,
and after giung them a coat of oil,
store them in the house loft. Plows
and all implements that require a
polish should have tho polished
parts covered with a coal of paint.

That clothes don't make the man.
That their father knows moie

That if they once get into debt
they may never get out of it.
That an employer who hears of a
clerk living in stylo a good ways
above his salary is very apt to show
him tho door when he least expects
it.
That they can't reckon on their
father's fortune alono to bring them
through life. Fortunes are slippery
things better have something be
sides to fall back oj.
That the girl who decks herself
in the latest thing out, and parades
the streets while her mother docs
tho family washing, isn't worth
wasting much love on.
That a follow who deliberately
proposes matrimony to a young lady
when ho c? l't support himself, is
either a first-class fraud or a fool
unless he marries for riches and be
comes her 'hired man.'
That, if they wish to fall stark mad
in love with a girl because she is
pretty, they ought, to be sure how
much powder and paint fhcre may
be in the question and figuro upoi it
accordingly.

which contained one hundred head
of the smoothest porkers ever mar

ten pounds of pork for a bushel of
corn, they had consumed 3,GO
bushels of corn which brought the
feeder 00 cts. a bushel. That com
at 20 cents a bushel would have
brought $720, and hauling 40 bushels

In one of the justices courts the
other day a fanner was defendant in
a case of assault and battery. The
plaintiff had no witnesses, while the
defendant had his wife, and the
plaintiff's lawyer made up his mind
that it was a gone case. He was
bracing up, however, to do his best,
when tho charge was re-id to the
defendant. The wife was deeply
interested in ovcry phrase, and her
face changed from sober to serious,
and from serious to horror as the
reading went on :
fiDid then and there with malic
ious aforethought beat, wound,

"Hold on !" she cried at this point,

"That'll do there 1 there!" put
in her Husband's lawyer, but she

"He jnst hit him onco and only

Tho way to keep money is to earn
it honestly and fairly. Money so
obtained is pretty certain to abide
with its possessor. But money that
is inherited, or that in any way
comes without a fair and just equiv
alent, is almost certain to go as it
came. The young man who begins
by saving a few dollars a month and
thriftily to add to his store every
coin being a representative of good,
solid work, honestly and manfully
done, stands a better chance to spend
the last half of his life in allluencc
and comfort fhan he who, in his
hasle to become rich, obtains money
by dashing speculations, or the de
vious mcahs which abound in the
fogiry region between fair dealing
and actual fraud. Among the wisest
and most thr'fty men of wealth, the
current proverb is "Money goes as
money comes." Let the young
make a note of this, and see that
their money comes fairly, that it
may long abide with them.

While watering his stock, one of his
