STORE WRECKED
Explosion of Gas Occnrs in a F?e and
Ten Cent Store Thursday.
. CLERKS ARE MISSING
The Walls Collapsed and Fell in the
Street, Hurying People Under
Them?Resellers Hampered by the
Danger From the Rive Electric
Wires Cause Not Known.
McCrory'e five and ten cent store
at North Pittsburg and Apple streets,
Connell8vllle, Pa., was wrecked by
a gas explosion Thursday and the
flames which followed communicated
to adjoining structures.
Three young women clerks are
missing, two clerks and the assistant
manager and a carpenter are In the
hospital dangerously burned and injured,
while a dozen or more employees
are at their homes suffering
from Injuries, more or less serious.
Rv noon the flames were under control.
and the property loss had been
placed at $75,000.
It can not be determined whether
the list of missing will be increased
until the debris from the collapsed
walls have been gone over. There
were customers In the store when the
explosion occurred, but the exact
number Is not known, nor have their
names been learned.
The known missing are: Chrlstobal
Smith, Nellie Mitchell and Mary
Wagner, all clerks.
There were about twenty customers
in the store when the explosion
took place. The front wall was
thrown into the street and In falHnf
carried with it a large number of
electric wires. These were tangled
In a mass and prevented, for a time,
any thought of rescue for those imprisoned
in the wrecked building.
The cause of the disaster lies in
the removal of a meter, it is stated,
and according to Manager PolT, workmen
neglected to make the proper
connections. Gas escaping from the
pipes filled the store and probably
the bank building. This wsb ignited
In Borne manner and the explosion
followed.
Ada Mitchell, the store piano player.
who was sitting at the piano, was
carried with the instrument from the
back of the building through Its entire
length and into Apple street.
Four carpenters were at work in the
cellar. Three escaped with slight
burns. The fourth probably will die.
| Fire appeared to break out in all
' parts of the building at the same time
and within a few minutes other
walls began to fall.
The walls of adjoining buildings
began to go down, but a party of
rescuers had been organized, and.
clearing away the wires, forced a
passage Into the five and ten cent
swre. uere inev located some of
the stricken employees and customEl
; era apd ns each was found he was
Pi, carried out. Ambulances had been
. f summoned and those of the injured
who could not be ciired for by physocians
on the ground were hurried
away to hospitals.
Uniontown responded to the call
for help and sent tire apparatus and
n large force of men. These aided
the Connellsville department in completing
the work of rescue and In
fighting the fire, which was gaining
rapidly Witn the flames subdued, it
Is hoped to recover the bodies of
those believed to be in the ruins before
night.
Later it developed that there had
been two explosions, one in * e Citisens'
National Hank, whose front
was also blown out.
Alfalfa and Knsilagc.
A subscriber asks why if, say,
thirty nonnds of good field corn ensilage
and ten pounds of good alfalfa
hay make almost a balanced ration
for a 1000-pound cow there should
be any addition of grain even ever
so small?
We answer that It Ir well to add
to the above a small grain ration for
two reasons: (1) Because experience
Bhows it to lie profitable. We
are feeding cows for profit and if on
experience we find that more or less
of a grain ration is profitable the
cows get it. (2) We must remember
that it takes a considerable portion
of this combined ensilage and alfalfa
ration to support the work of grind
r iiik ?? aim imiimiik " mio propi'i' condition
for digestion. All work of
this kind that the cow docs must ho
paid for in feed. It costs more in
the economy of the cow machine to
reduce roughage of any kind to a
digestive condition than it does well
ground grain feed. For that and
the other reason given the addition
of, say, four to six pounds of a good
grain ration is a profitable thing. *
B Robbed of Savings.
An old gentleman by the name of
ran Redford was robbed by three negroes.
near Seneca, Tuesday -light. It is
rumored that he carried several hunHg^B
dred dollars, the savings of a life5R?B
time, and was on hla way to his
nH son's home when the robbery ocBj
ourred. The victim carried the mon?y
in a amall band bag. When the
negroes approached they wanted
^^^B whiskey, but after taking his bag
and cutting it open they took the
money Instead. *

EXPORT OF COTTON
. I
SOM&i INTERESTING STATISTICS
ON COTTON.
I*racticnlly Two-Thirds of the Crop
iSent Abroad, Worth Over Half Billion
Dollars.
The highest record ever made In
the United States was achieved In
1910 when $33 0,000,000 worth of
the product was sent to foreign
lands. This new record exceeded
by more than $60,000,000 the previous
best year in the value of cotton
exported, according to the bureau of
statistics of the department of commerce
and labor.
The quantity exported, however,
was materially lees than in certain
earlier years, having been but 3,641,000,000
pounds, against 4.374,000,000
in 1908, when the value was but
$439,000,000. The average export
price in 1910 was 14 1-2 cents per
pound, against practically 10 cents in
1908, the hleh record year for quantity,
the average export price in 1910
having been higher than in any years
since 1 874. December, 1910, also
shows the 1 Ighest monthly record,
the total value of cotton exports in
that month being, in round terms.
$103,000,000, while no earlier month
ever reached the $100,000,000 line.
The average export price in December
was 14.8 cents per pound, while
in the months of July ami August
the average was 15 cents per pound.
This $330,000,000 worth of raw
cotton exported represents approx'mately
two-thirds of the production
of the country, a comparison of the
figures of production and exportation
for a long term of years showing that
about one-'hird of the crop is usually
retained for domestic use; and this
suggests a valuation of approximately
$800,000,000 for the total raw
luuun iiiuimvi t?i iin* year represent- {
ed by these export figures. To this, i
however, must bo added the vnlue |
of the cotton seed, of which the exportation
in the form of oil amount- s
ed to nearly $1 3,000,000 and those |
of oil cake about $10,000,000. while <
of course large quantities of both (
were consumed in the United States. (
The countries to which this 530 \
million dollars' worth of cotton ex- (
ported in 1910 went, stated In order (
of magnitude of their purchases, are: j
The United Kingdom, approximately j
243 million dollars; Germany, 1 40
million; France, 62 million; Italy,
28 million; Spain. 16 million: Canada.
10 1-2 million; and Japan, 9 1-2
million: these figures being based
necessarily on estimates for the
month of Deceml>er.
The United States is by far the
world's largest producer of cotton.
An estimate of the cotton production 1
of the world for the season of 1910- !
11 supplied to the bureau of statis- i
tics is: For the United States. 10,155.000
bales of 500 pounds; India,
4,186,000 bales; China, 1,200,000
bales; Egypt, 970,000 bales; Russia '
(Asiatic provinces), 768.000 hales;
miscellaneous, including Hrazil, Peru, i
Persia, Turkey and other countries.
645,000, making his estimate of the '
total world crop for the season
1909-10 1 8,049.000 bales, of which
10,155,000 were produced in the
United States.
This estimate places China third
in rank anions the world's cotton
producers with an annual production
of 1,200,000 bales, most of which is
manufactured into yarns and cloth
by hand machines, while 200,000
hales are now annually exported to
Japan. Of the cotton crop of India
he estimates that slightly less than
one-half is exported. Of the Egyptian
cotton, practically all is exported,
going chiefly to Europe and the
United States, its long staple and
silky lu3tre rendering it. especially
valuable for use in conjunction with
the shorter stapled 'cotton of other
parts of the world.
The value of raw cotton imported
into the United States during the
year 1910 was,in round terms, about
$15,000,000, of which $10,000,000
worth came direct from Egypt, $2,000.000
front the United Kingdom,
presumably also chiefly from Egypt,
nearly $1,000,000 front Peru, and
$750,000 front China.
Meantime the,value of cotton manufactures
exported during the year
was. in round terms, $25,000,000,
and of the cotton manufactures imported.
$00,000,000, of which more
than one-half was in the form of
laces, edgings, embroideries and other
high grade manufactures of this
character.
Comparing the total value of the
1'in.iuii i?\|n?ri?'ii in i : i u wim tnni or
earlier years, the figures of the bureau
of statistics run as follows:
iota $5.20.000,000
1909 I <12.000,000
1 90S -129.000,000
1907 470,000,000
1900 41 2,000,000
Prior to 190f> the total had never
reached the $100,000,000 mark,
though the quantity exported In
1910, which was 2.041.000.000
pounds, was less than In any year
since 1901; these figures in all cases
being for calendar years. *
Many l?eer Killed.
According to the report of the Department
of Agriculture, 57,500 deer
were slain In the United States dtirIing
1910. This record Is little larger
than that of previous years, but the
fatalities to hunters Increased about '
50 per cent. . .
The Farm of the Future.
Under the caption of "The Passng
of the Man With the Hoe," Ed- ,
vard A. Rumeley discourses In. the |
Vorld's Work for August, on the (
vonderful changes In farm work j
vhlch Is being effected with raode:n (
uachinery. He makes the stau -ment

he world?this plodding toll to be
nded by machine* that will use i.it- ,
iowpr stored In one acre of potatoes
?alcohol?to plow 200 acres. He ,
nakcs this prophecy of the future ? ; ]
(utter manufacturing and the wor* (
>f the farm household, which Is, to |
ay the least. Interesting to contemdate:
,
"Tho farmer's wife will need but
o turn a wheel, throw a swltcn,
wist a stop-cock and be saved her
lardest work. Butter will again be
nade on the farm and not in the fac- ,
ory. The motor will run the cream
leparator and churn and dispense
vith the labor of the milk cellar ana
ts endless array of pans and crocks
o be washed. It will give new speed
o her sewing machine. On Wedneslay,
"sweeping day," it will save her
jealth and strength with a vacuum
sleaner. It will run her washing
nachine and mangle. Through a
lynamo, in the electric fan and flatron,
it will bring her blessed relief
rom the fiery heat of the ran^e on
roning day. It will be a ready help>r
in the kitchen. All this takes no
iccount of the promise of new invenions."
There is no limit almost to the
hanges in the labor and life of the
arm that could be made if only elecricity
could be used as a power to an
jconomic advantage. If the alcohol
hat can be extracted from one acre
>f potatoes could be used in a gas
mgine to run an electric dynamo in
connection with a storage battery,
,vho shall say what new labor saving
nethows will not soon follow? It
would seem as if the Injunction
Moses gave the children of Israel to
'stand still and see the Salvation of
he Lord," would at last be applicable
to American farm life In the near
future.
Meantime the farmer needs to consider
that his boy must have a dif'eren*
education than the father possessed
to fit him for these swiftly
loming changes. Brain work more
than hand work is crowding itself
jpon the attention of the farmer
everyday. He must know something
jf the scientific side of his business
f he is to make a profitable success
if It in the future.
TAKES ISSUE WITH HIM.
Prof. Wilcox's Baby Declaration Stirs
Up a Row.
Trof. Walter F. Wilcox, of Cornell,
who predicted the other day that
there would be no more babies after
2015, has awakened a rather stirring
sociological discussion among New
York's club women. Mrs. Clarence
Burns,- president of "The Little
Mothers' Association," an organization
supported by society women,
which provides for the care of the
small children of poor families, the
mother of which is obliged to work,
lakes issue with the pedagogue and
figuratively says he is a blithering,
blooming romancer.
"It is evident that Prof. Wilcox is
not familiar with the conditions
among American families on the East
Side," said Mrs. Burns. "You see.
the average family has froir. five to
eleven children. Hut 1 must say that
I believe that nowadays the avera.-e
parent looks to quality rather than
quantity. There was a time, say
about twenty or thirty years ago,
when the mother of the poor class
thought notning of having from thirteen
to fourteen children. They do
not have quite as many now, however.
"I must take exception to the
learned professor's statement and say
that I do not believe that there will
be a dearth of children In 201 5 ( although
I have never gone into the
matter from a mathematical standpoint.
It is a very simple matter to
prove almost anything, however, by
statistics, and I do not doubt but
from that angle Prof. Wilcox is
right."
According to Prof. Wilcox there
will bo no babies left in the United
Statea after 2015, and if we want
any we will have to bring them from
abroad, the same as we now import
Parisian gowns and other finery.
MTTliK IIODY POI ND.
Seems to Have lleon Poisoned With
Carbolic Acid.
A1 fl of the police in every large!
city of the country has been sought,I
thus far in vain, in an effort to learn I
the identity of the five-year-old boy I
whose frozen body with acid stains!
about the mouth, was found Thursday
in a swamp on the Schenectady!
road '.n New York. Today an autopsy
will be held to determine more
definitely the cause of death, but the
police have little doubt that the boy
was slain by some one who forced
carbolic acid down his throat.
A half empty bottle of the aci*\
bearing the label of an Albany, N.
Y., druggist, was found tinder the
body. The corpse was wearing shoes
and stockings and feet showed traces
of mud, as they would have done bad

the police that the child was murdered
by kidnappers to get rid of
him.
A Home In the Country.
The word home is a moBt precious
rin#? fn Ihp nnn 1 of ovnrv noronn In
It start the very roots of our being;
Dut of It a~e the issues of life and
fortune; to It we turn with "memory
dear" wherever fate takes us. J
it is the beginning of the state, the
fashioning place of manhood and
womanhood and final citizenship.
Where shall It be to beet make all
these good things possible?
There is no place on earth like the
country to build a home. Instinctively
the hearts of parents in the cities
turn to the vision of a country home
in which to rear children. The universal
heart of humanity longs for
the place of the "vine and tig tree"
where life and home shall find Its
true abiding place. As oae gazes
upon the wretchedness of the cities,
"great sores on the body politic" as
Jefferson called, them, the ouiy cure
for this over crowded expression of
poverty, crime and discontent thp?.
presents itself to us is the country.
Why do not these people go o the
country? Why do they toil, slave
and suffer with no place to go Ij
for rest but these wretched abodes of
dirt and grime? Verily, a tent by
the road-side, the contact of God's
dirt, not man's dirt, would be a- a
palace to these thousands of wretched
homes in cities.
The same question necessarily presents
itself, even to those in the city
who are w?il removed from poverty,
and the vision of a home in the country
as a solace for many of their ills,
will not fade from their eyes.
On the night of the 60th performance
of Denman Thompson's beautiful
American drama "The Old Homestead"
at Park Street Theatre in New
York, we saw the house filled to repletion
with grey haired men and
women who came there to solace
their hearts with a vision of the dear
old homo in tho country. The toil,
the drudgery, the privation of their
early life in the country, to escape
which they had come to the city
when youtt;;, was as nothing beside
the quaint little old house by the
roadside, the open barn and the great
oxen with the towering load of hay,
the blessed old well and its flowing
bucket, and the smiling fields. As
we passed out with the emerging
throng, we heard expression like
these. "Wasn't it sweet and dear?"
"Oh, if we could only get back to
the country once more;" and the
like. Now this mighty attendance,
night after night, was hut the deep
and abiding longing in the hearts of
these men and women for a homo in
the country.
Country life in the United States
has just awakened to a partial realization
of its meaning. The light of
scieince. of art, of invention, is surrounding
farm life with compensations
today that the city cannot offer.
Great fortunes are not made here,
nor are they desired, hut comfort,
peace, abundance of good food,
health and that freedom that "passes
all understanding" in cities, is the
heritage of the country. Then again,
life on the farm is calling for an
amount of intellectual force, real
brain action that stamps it as one of
the learned professions of the day.
To he a thorough student of the
soil and its needs; of plant life and
tho management of crops; of the
breeding and care of animals; is an
accomplishment of brain and thought
that may well challenge the ambition
of the most learned. The man who
thinks there is no place for the ex
ercise of intellectual power on the
farm is sadly mistaken. All that
the country really needs is that it
shall be studied and understood. It
has splendid possibilities for the
most perfect life, the most invigorating,
the freest ar>.l more inspiring
Its work is not drudgery when the
significance and full meaning of that
work is comprehended. It is tht
place of all places to rear children
for it endows them with a practica
understanding of the realities of lift
that becomes invaluable afterward ir
any line of human effort; and it!
rewards financially are surer and a:
great in proportion to capital used
as in any of the other vocations. On<
fact stands out with peculiar signlfi
cance?Every village and small ci13
is filled with retired farmers. N<
other calling furnishes an expressioi
like this. '

PAID FOR HIS SEAT
SENATOR STEPHENSON IS ACCUSED
OF CORRUPTION.
Two Republicans and One Democrat,
Member of State Senate Committee,
Unite in Report.
"The nomination in the primary q
and the election to the United States
senate by the legislature of Isaac
Stephenson are null and void, on account
of attempted briberies and corrupt
practice by himself and his campaign
leaders, agents and workers
and of violations of the laws of Wisconsin
defining and punishing offenses
against the elective franchise."

This is the gist of the findings of r"
a special senatorial investigating
committee in its report submitted to 'J
Gov. Francis E. McGovern, of Wisconsin,
at Madison Wednesday. 1 he
report is 3igned by Lieut. Gov.
Thomas Morris and Senator Spencer '
W. Mnrsh, Republicans, and Senator n
Paul Hustlng, Democrat.
Early in the legislative session of 1
1000 resolutions were introduced in e'
both houses calling for nn investiga- 1
tion of the senatorial primary elec- fi
tion. The resolutions were partic- V
ularly pointed at United States Sen- 11
ator Isaac Stephenson, who. accord- Sl
Ing to his report filed with the secretary
of state, expended $107,000 dur- 1
ing tho campaign.
Mr. Bancroft, speaker of the assembly,
named a committee com- '
posed of a majority of the stalwart e
Republicans and Lieut. Gov. John
Strange, who then presided over the ?
senate, named Senators Marsh, Mor- ?
ris and Hustlng. The committees met
In l#lln? cnwlnn cit-*,-., 1 - tl
Then the assembly branch of the ''
committee decided to go no further.
The assembly members of the com- n
mlttee rendered a report, recorn- e
mending the enactment of a law reg- *
ulating campaign expenditures and
stating that there was no evidence of r
corruption on the part of Senator '
Stephenson.
Following this, a special resolution ,
was adopted by the senate making 1
the three senators named a special
investigating committee to probe 8
further into the primary election. a
The report and findings are the result
of that special committee's (
work.
The assembly members of the joint '
Investigating committee are scored
by the senate committee for their al- '
leged failure to assist in a thorough 11
investigation of the Stephenson nomination
and election.
The election committee's report on ?
this point lb as follows:
"Throughout 'he investigation various
members of the assembly per- '

"The board of fertilizer control <
