A Wise Man.
It Is aald that a man knows about "one
millionth of 1 per cent of what he thlnka
he knows." We don't know how this Is,
but we do claim to know that as a heating
stove our leader, the Radiant Home, has no
equal on the market for good all-around
service. It will heat more space, with
less fuel, than any other stove made. It
will give satisfaction In every way. We
would rather not sell you any stove at all
than to have you take one from our store
that would not give you satisfaction. Why?
you may ask. Because we could not afford
to lose your trade by giving you an In
ferior article. That is why we so warmly
recommend our Radiant Home. We know
what we are talking about. If your neigh
bor has one of these stoves, ask him about
It. The stove season Is drawing to an end
and if you have to buy a stove all we ask
Is that you give us a trial and let us show
you what the Radiant Home will do. . We
stattd back of It with our binding guar
antee that you will be entirely satisfied.
We also have an endless array of furniture
and house furnishing goods we would like
you to see before buying anything in this
line. We will be pleased to have you look
over our store. ' Peterson 'ft Schoenlng,

DES MOINES, Not. 29. (Special.) A sen
sational turn was given In the case of Mose
Jacobs against his father, Charles Jacobs
today by the filing of a motion on the part
of the son to have the submission of the case
set aside and reopened, on the ground of
new and Important evidence In the case
When the mother of Mose Jacobs died a
year ago Charles Jacobs was appointed ad
ralnlstrator. Mose began suit to compel
his father to give an accounting of certain
properties held by him which were claimed
by the son. During his years of work as
a newsboy In Des Moines Mose bad accu
lated a fortune estimated at from $30,000
to $40,000, but a large share of his money
and valuables he had intrusted to his
mother during her lifetime. The case In
volves an accounting of the father for much
of this property. Mose Jacobs ha since
married and retired from the street and
manages a store. The case was submitted
to court some time ago, but not decided,
Now comes the plaintiff with an affidavit
that he has information from one I. Kuhn
of New York which la Important in the
case, as Charles Jacobs had stated that he
had loaned large sums of money to Kuhn
but now Kuhn declares this Is not true,
Tha case will probably be reopened to ad
mit the new evidence and It will be some
time before an end Is reached.

Number of Dead la Not
Vet Known.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29. With a deafening re
port a boiler in Swift & Company's plant
exploded shortly after 10 this morning.
Thirteen lives were sacrificed and scores
were Injured. Huge boilers were sent
through the roof of the structure and hurled
hundreds of feet. Nobody within the boiler
room survived to tell the story of the ac
cident, but a careful Investigation convinced
the experts that the explosion was the re
sult of carelessness on the part 'of an em
ploye whose own life was lost.
Sheets of flame sprang from the ruins and
the spectators realized that It would be im
possible to save the lives of those caught
In the wreck. ,
Balldlna Torn and Twisted.
The explosion was of such force that ad
Joining buildings' were wrecked, torn and
twisted like toys. Men, women and boys at
work in adjoining departments were hurled
through windows to the ground below.
Many of them escaped with but slight
bruises, but most of the victims were hurt
to such an extent that it was necessary to
remove them to hospitals. The others were
taken to their homes.
The dead:
H. ARNOLD, colored.
JAME3 OWEN, colored.
A. RASHUO, a sewer digger.

A number of others suffering from burns
and bruises were also taken to the hos
pital. In response to repeated calls a dozen pa
trol wagons and as many ambulances were
sent from all parts of the city. Extra calls
for fire ' engines followed, and soon the'
names were Deing tougni rrom every siae.
Die Among Flames.
While the fire was still burning police,
firemen and employes of the packing' firm
began digging in the ruins. 8oon the man
gled remains of a man were discovered. At
the same time other rescuers were digging
with desperation to rescue several victims
who were still alive. Bodies, torn, bruised
and mangled, were taken from the ruins
and sent to the morgues.
A boy, scalded from head to toot and
bleeding from cuts and bruises, staggered
toward the office of the general superin
tendent. He was Mr. Young's personal mes
senger, but had been ao badly disfigured
that Mr. Young did not recognize htm..
Many theorlea were advanced as to the
responsibility for the disaster. One in
spector declared that the explosion had
been caused by cold water Injected Into the
boiler, but a majority held that the catas
trophe bad been caused by low water. Noth
ing definite waa learned, however, and as
all the men In the boiler room were killed
It Is not likely the cause of the accident
will ever be known.
It is not thought that the loss to Swift
ft Company will amount to more than 150,
