Chicago. June 29.— An explosion
supposed to have been caused by dyna
mite did great damage in the business
district tonight, injured two or three
persons severely, and wrecked stores
and windows for a block near Clark
and Washington streets.
The exact nature o f the explosion is
unknown, because o f the great amount
of debris thrown about the alley whe e
it occurred. The police think it an
other in the series o f gamblers’ war
bombs that have mystified detectives
for more than two years.
The scene o f the explosion was in
an alley in the rear of the central tele
phone exchange.
The Chicago Tele
phone company was unable to do any
more business during the night. Two
restaurants facing on Clark street
were blown practically into the streets,
food being scattered over the car
tracks.
In this alley also was the rear en
trance to Powers & Lambert’s saloon,
headquarters for Martin B. Madden
and his associates in the building
trades. Madden and his men are figur
ing largely in labor disputes at pres
ent, and have been the subject of grand
jury indictments.
Another place opening into the alley
which was badly damaged, was the
cash register store o f Mont Tenness,
who is alleged to conduct several gamb
ling places. Tenness’ place has been
raided frequently by the police.
An
other bomb was exploded there a year
ago.
Chicago, June 29.— In spite o f occa
sional storms, there was no let-up yes
terday in the killing heat that has held
the whole Eastern section o f the Unit
ed States in its grip for the past week.

there were two deaths from heat and
one from a thunder storm that swept

Winning a Goddess
"Celebrate? Of course we can’t cele

patiently and turned to the group of
villagers.
“ Maybe that’s so. but It ought not

In the north end and the land owners
In the south they ought not to quar

Banker Morse, and Just home from col
lege.
"W e'll get up our own then,” sug
gested somebody, “ and let’s meet to
morrow night. Fourth of July will be
here In a week.”
Harry on his wheel met Led Norton,
the son of the owner of Hat Six ranch,
on horseback a day later and the two
young men rode side by side across
the level plain for a time. Harry told
his companion of the arrangement.
“ That’s all right," was the reply.
“The north end Is goin’ to perform,
too. These old fogies may fight If they
want to, but we won’t be so foolish.
We can’t help It, of course, but let's go
in for some fun out of It anyhow.”
“ I'm with you. We are to have, a
goddess of liberty In a flag dress and a
golden crown. You can’t guess who It
is to be.”
“ That homely Miss Lyons, of course.
She always forces herself to the front.”
“ Wrong— Miss Dorlne Vandele.”
“ Why, her father is worth half a
million."
“ Well, she will do anything for me,”
with a satisfied air.
“ Oh, ho, that’s It, Is It?” and the cat
tle king-to-be rode away. In his heart
was a little bitterness, for Dorlne was
to him something better than the rest
of the girls of the town, north or
south, and he did not like at all the
tone of his companion’s expression.
So North Mayvllle prepared for Its
parade and speeches, and South May
vllle did the same. Harry and Led met
often and exchanged notes as to the
progress of the work. It was to be a
very bitter rivalry.
For days the two sections of the
town were excited. The tales of the
doings of “ the other side" were related
with great exaggeration. Dorlne heard
them and wondered If her party was
*o be so very much outshone.
“ They tell me that they are getting
up a a rlcature of me,” she said to
Harry.
“ They would not dare,” was the
eager tesponse. “ If they did I would
punish the author myself.”
“ Who Is In charge of the other
side? ’
"Led Norton, of course.”
Dorine's color heightened, but Harry
did not notice It. He was at last re
warded by securing her promise that
she would act the principal part In
the parade. He went away wondering
how he could arrange it so that he
might be near her on the glorious
occasion.
On the eve of the Important day
there was a gathering In the back
room of the Cattlemen's Club. Around
the table sat six of the largest owners
of stock on the range. They talked
of the morrow.
“ I am in favor of knocking them
out once for all,” Colonel Norton was
saying. "That side of the town has
got to be wiped out eventually or our
property will be worthless. Let’s scare
their old parade out of sight and let
them see that we are running the
town.”
Some objection was raised, but In
the end the worthies were all satisfied
with a plan that promised dire trouble
for the neighboring burg. But only
the six cattle barons knew of It when
the morning dawned. The rivalry of
Western towns does not permit of
much confidence or exchange of ¿cur
tesies.
There was another conference that
night, but the cattlemen did not know
of It. Only two were In It— Harry and
Led. When they parted It waa with a
laugh and a merry call from the for
mer: “ It Will be fun for all of ’em.”
Independence Day dawned with the
beauty of the prairie skies shining
over the town. It was a day for the
young to rejoice In and for the old to
be thankful for. Mayvllle was astir
early and there was not a resident
whs did not feel that he was Interest
ed In tne celebration, both for the pur
pose of making for his side the best
showing possible and to outdo the op
position. The rival parades started at
10 o’clock.
The two young men were the re
spective marshals of the day and each
guided his troops as best he could
through the crowds that filled the
streets. The south enders were gor
geous In their finery from the stores.
The Goddess of Liberty rode on a float
all by herself and the horses were gay-
ly fitted out for the occasion with rib
bons and bunting. The north end had
a more sedate, but more expensive ag
gregatlon. It had In line all the cow
boys of the ranch owners and there
were some fancy riders among them
who could and did make the onlookers
wonder at their skill.
As the bands played and drowned
out the noise of each opposition com
pany the two marshals of the day led
the lines toward a tree-lined avenue
and then with a quick turn brought
them out plump against each other In
the broad street! It was the most ex
citing time of the town’s history. The
men were mad and the women Indig
nant— the children alone were happy.
They saw two parades Instead of one.
But suddenly something else hap
pened. Out of the grove that hid a
stable sprang a number of men with
guns. They leaped Into the road and
fired them with deafening reports. It
was Intended to frighten the south
enders and It did. It also frightened
the others, for the parades were there
together.
“ My stars, what a panic," exclaimed
Colonel Norton. “ I wish we had not
done It.”
Well he might. The teams went here
and there, out of the control of the
drivers. Then one was seen running
down the street— It was the one with
the Goddess of Liberty.
Behind 11
went two riders— Harry and Led. It
was a race for a life. The two young
men were well mounted, but they had
swift horses to catch. At the end of
the road was a hill anu down at the
bottom a bridge. Their time was
short. On one side rode one and on
the other his rival, Now both realized
that they were to test the love of the
woman they both admired.
Dorlne clung to the wagon, which
pitched and wavered, alone on the
vehicle.
"Here,” shouted Harry, "Jump to me
and I will hold you!”
“ Here," put In Led, In that strong
tone of hls, “ let me catch you! I ’ll
come alongside.”
She looked from one to the other.
Even In the terror of the position she
saw something of the situation and
wished for an Instant that she could
escape making a choice before the
crowd. But a look ahead told her that
that was Impossible—now was her
time.
The hill was nearer and nearer. The
people were wondering why she did
not leap, for they saw It was Impossi
ble for the riders to stop the team.
Suddenly she satisfied them. With an
abandon that showed how strong was
her faith, she threw herself far from
the wagon— toward Led Norton.
The young cattleman was ready for
the duty of the minute. He reached
out hls strong right arm and as she
came to him threw It around her
waist.
With a quick motion he
brought her to the saddle and then
turned hls horse back toward the cen
ter of the crowd.
"She Jumped Into the arms of a
north ender!" exclaimed a dozen of
her friends, “ for shame!” But Dorlne
seemed not to care. She smiled at
them when she rode hack with Led's
arm around her, and Harry was glad
that he went on to catch the team and
was not there to see.
"That was a smart trick of yours,"
said Mr. Norton to his son, a day or
two after.
“ Not so smart as that of yours and
the rest In trying to frighten and
break up the south enders’ parade,”
was the reply. “ It did good in two
ways; it won me a wife and put the
two towns on a friendly basis.”
"What do you mean, sir? A wife—
and friends!"
“ Miss Vandele pronted me to marry
me as we rode back front the runaway
and the people were so thoroughly
mixed by the fright that they will
quarrel no more. A marriage between
the two leading families will help
straighten things, too, don't you
think?"
Mr. Norton did not say what he
thought— perhaps he did not think
anything fit for expression. As for
hls son he was more than satisfied. He
had won a goddess, as he put it, and
had healed a neighborhood quarrel,
and that was glory enough for one

“ The construction and improvement
of the deep waterways required to pro

investment, from the fact that two-
thirds of the bulky freight could be
shipped by water roates, at a cost to
the shipper o f not more than one-Bixth
of the present rail rates. The import
ance o f this becomes apparent when it
is remembered that the food question
is becoming a world problem.

Mississippi river, 2.547 miles.
Then
there is the projected waterway from
Lake Michigan to the Gulf of Mexico
and scores o f others necessary to cheap
and better transportation facilities.
Millions o f dollars will be saved annu

by the completion of these works.
“ The maintenance o f the greatest
water way in the world, composed of
the Great Lakes, on which the govern

argument in favor of the scheme to de

are of equal if not greater importance,
and with proper backing they can be

that good roads have a high money
value toAhe farmers o f the nation,and
it may Da said that this alone is suffi
cient to justify the cost of their con
struction as rapidly as practicable un
der an efficient, economical and equit
able system o f highway improvement.
The big points in favor o f this expend
iture is the economy o f time and force
in transportation between farm and
market, enabling the growers to take
advantage o f fluctuations in buying and
selling, as well as enhancing the value
o f real estate.
“ It is estimated that the average
annual loss from poor road is 76 cents
an acre, while the estimated average
increase resulting from improving all
the public roads is $9. The losses in
five years would aggregate $2,432 for
every section of land, or more than
enough to improve two miles of public
highway. The necessity of good roads
is obvious, as it would enhance the
value o f each section of land about
$5,760, or more than double the esti
mated cost o f two miles o f improved
highway, which constitutes the quota
for 640 acres of land.
“ The value o f our forests was never
better appreciated than today. Within
