Explosion of Cook
Stove Wrecks Kitchen
BROKEN BOW. Neb., Jan. 2.-(Spe-
clal.) A most peculiar accident, nearly
resulting In a tragedy, occurred at the
residence of John Squires, a prominent
citizen of this lilace, tho extreme cold
weither that has prevailed for the last
few days being responsible. Mr. Squires
had gone to the kitchen early in the
morning to examine the fire in the range
and was standing with his back to It
warming himself. Suddenly, a tre
mendous explosion occurred and some'
thing struck him with terrific force In
the back, the air was filled with ashes
and debris and the- kitchen, utensil turn
blod about in all directions. When the
atmosphere cleared and Mr. Squires had
somewhat, recovered from -the shook, he
found that the big Tatfge had been blown
to atoms, all the windows shattered and
the room generally wrecked. It was the
teakettle that had struck him with such
force, and upon further examination It was
found that an Iron lid had crashed
through the ceiling to the floor above.
rieces oi metal and cooking utensils
were found in all directions. How Mr.
.Squires, escaped fatal injuries or instant
death Is little short ot miraculous. The
explosion waa caused by the freezing ot
he pipes between the waterback and
the tank.

M ill He raved.
HASTINGS. Neb.. Jan. J.-(Speclal.)-Splendld
prospects for big crops, a gen
eral feeling of confidence and progressive
movements already under way Indicate
for Hastings and Adams county In the
new year one of the most prosperous
periods In their history.
Among the improvements that are to
be, started early in the spring will be a
new hotel to cost I1WV000, tho Lannlng
Memorial hospital to cost $100,000, the In
stallation of an ornamental lighting sys
tem In the business district which will
cost upwards of $30,000 and the enlarge
ment of a number ot manufacturing
plants. During the last year the Masons
and the Klks purchased building sites
and one or both of these orders may take
steps this year for the erection of the
proposed homes.
A heavy snow a few days before Christ
mas and a liberal snowfall on several
subsequent days have practically assured
a big wheat yield. Short crops during the
last year affected Boine lines of business.
oui wun Detter prospects for next year
plans are already making for general ex
pansion of manufacturing and cummer
clul enterprises.
Municipal Iniuroreuients Last Year.
During the year lull the city of Hastings
made and contracted for municipal im
provements aggregating nearly :T5,00i).
Over $-Juo,0W was spent for street paving
alone, more, it is thought, than was spent
for paving in any other Nebraska city In
the same period. The Council already has
taken the preliminary steps, for the con
tinuation of paving this year, and within
a few weeks a contract will be awarded
for the repaying of Second street, the
main business thoroughfare.
Most of the manufacturing enterprises
in Hastings thrived during 1911. Seven
wholesale cigar factories dealing in inter
state trade manufactured and sold ap
proximately 6,M),O0O cigars, an increase
of about 20 per cent over the previous
year, and more than were made In any
Nebraska city, as shown by the atatistici
of the Internal revenue service. Hastings
was also first of all Nebraska cities In
the manufacture of brick, the output for
the year being lil.OOO.OuO. The manufac
iure oi paving brick block was a new
Industry started during 1011. The harness
and horse collar factor', according to the
utm iniormaiion ooimnauie here, had a
larger output thhan any factory Jn that
line In Nebraska, Kansas or Iowa. One
wholesale candy factory kept six travel
ing salesmen constantly employed during
tho year and sold more candy than was
turned out by any other Nebraska city
except Lincoln and Omaha. In brewing
Hastings took rank second to Omaha with
an output of 17,000 barrels, and from the
same plant was turned out tS.OOO tons of
artificial ice.
Twelve HI a; Conventions.
Twelve state or district conventions and
public gatherings were herd in Hastings
in 1911 and during the year there were se
cured for Hastings In 1912 the state con
ventions of the Omaha-Denver Oood
Hoads association, the association of op
ticians, the association of commercial
clubs and the Nebraska synod ot the
Presbyterian church. Hastings also se
cured the biennial convention of the An
cient Order of United Workmen for May,
1913, and the triennial convention of the
Modern Woodmen of America for May,
1914.
Interesting light on the growth of
Hastings is given by the report of the
waters and light department. For elec
tric current the receipts during 1911 were
1G per cent greater than during the
previous year and 93 per cent greater
than in 1907. The receipts for water
last year were 20 per cent greater than
In the previous and 64 per cent greater
than In 1907.
Hastings has $310.(W0 ( invested in the
water and light v plants, for wfcleh the
only bond Issues have been for a total
or $130,000, a considerable part ot which
has been paid off. All improvements In
addition to those provided for by the
bond Issuee have been paid for out of
the earnings of the plants and In addi
tion the city has had free water for
public use and free electric current for
all street lighting.
An engine capable of pumping S.000,000
gallons per day has been ordered for the
water plant and during the present year
It is expected that a new reservoir, with a
capacity of from 5K),000 to 1,000,000 gal
lons, will be constructed.
"R
ing out the old-
bring in the
new"
Everywhere that men labor in
office, store, shop, or on the farm, we
see the rapidly increasing use of
machinery that does away with
hard drudgery. Why should women
continue to wear the crown of
household drudgery that of carrying
coal and sifting ashes, which spread
their dirt, soot, smoke and poisoning
coal-gases through the living rooms?

A house heated with IDEAL Boilers
and AMERICAN Radiators is free
from dampness, is clean, comfortable and altogether a delightful place
to live in, all Winter long, day and night. It is least expensive heating.
Many old-fashioned forms of house-heaters rust out or wear out in 10 or 12 years, so that the
original purchase price entirely disappears gone ! Either that, or the total re
pairs equal the original cost. IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators after
25 or 50 years will show up "as good as new" will outlast the building. Even a
fire and quake do not destroy them as after the San Francisco disaster hun
dreds of our heating outfits were uncovered in the ruins and again put to
use practically the only article of the building not destroyed. IDEAL
Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators are not an ex
pense, but an investment paying dividends in fuel
economy, absence of repairs, health protection, lower

(From a. Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Jan. 2. (Special.)- Regular
army Inspecting officers, In their report
o nthe condition of the National Guard
as It appeared during tho last encamp
ment, were severe In. their strictures. The
condition of the arms wan particularly
condemned, the reiort saying It wits
doubtful If the efficiency of the arms
could ever be restored by future . care.
They ,not only lacked care, but, accord
ing to th ereport, the. men did nut have
the facilities to care for the guns. The
officers were. not up I nthelr duties and
the proportion of ,m?h In camp was
small. The man were markedly deficient
In drill, especiully In guard duty. These
criticisms applied to the First regiment.
he Inspector of the Second regiment
was not quite so severe In his comments,
though he criticised tha conditiun of the
arms and the equipment of the regiment,
he officers,- as a whole, were commended.
In reply to these strictures the adju
tant general of the state, . E. II. Phelps,
has Issued a statement, in which he at
tributes many shortcomings to lack of
funds.
Further he says:
It Is admitted that the condition of
arms In our iirganlzation is never ns
good bm it should be, but I ww not pre
pared to receive so revere a criticism as
that shown In the report on the First
Infantry.
"no company commander. First In
fantry, whose attention was called to
the criticism, wrote this office that the
rifles In his company were not Inspected
by the Instruct -t -Inspector during the
entire camp.
. Hap fur Arnir Man.
Commenting on tha sharpened criticism
of the Instructor-Inspector, Adjustant
General Phelps says:
The camp was us good as the usual one
for National liuard ramps of Instruction,
the execnive rainfall causing the only
criticism of it. The Pawnee fiats on the
t-ort Illley reservation Is not so good a
camp ground ill wet weather . as tills
one la.
Tho matter of mounts for officers Is,
and always hns been, a serious one;
the coHt of transporting single horses
from the different points to Slid ' from
camp is excessive, which has led us to
ad.ipt the plan carried out at this camp.
As both the First am; Hecond regiments
of lnfHtiy are practically the same In
all thlngx, thi Impression to be gotten
from reading the two reports, that the
Hecond Infantry Is the beter of the two,
cornea ' om tliij difference In mental
temper. in, eiit of the two Instructor- In
spectors; for Instance, the First regi
ment really did have the best camp san
itation and policing.
