There's a tendency on the part of some Rubber Got<ds manufactur­ ers to see bow little pare gum rubber they can use in their goods and still haw them called rubber. The demand for cheaper goods has brought on this condition, bnt as euch goods do not wear, peo­ ple are beginning to call for something better, and we are prepared to supply it. Such goods as we are selling are decidedly cheaper in the long run because they wear years to the inferior goods' months.

TAKES PLACE AT NEW CANNING FACTORY WHICH IS IN PRO­ GRESS OF CONSTRUCTION Remember it's the last Easter at Stoffel's ball. dance JUbpnt 8:90 p. m. yesterday the citi­ zens of McHenry were startled'by a re­ port, caused by the explosion of a stick of dynamite at the new canning factory which is in progress of erection, which was plainly felt through the entire vil­ lage, but no one, only those 'who were at the scene of the explosion, realized that one of the saddest catastrophes that Mc­ Henry had ever experienced had taftken place. In less than five minutes after the shock, the news had been heralded from one end of ton n to the other. A general order was immediately sept out for all the local doctors, as well aa> those of neighboring towns, who were hurried to the scene at lightning speed. Every body rushed to the scene, fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers all wear­ ing a most agonized look, fearing that one of their loved ones was among the dead or injured. Three men were killed while a num ber of others were more or less injured Those whose injnries Were not serious were at once removed to their various homes, while others were cared for at the scene of the accident and afterward taken to nearby homes and the North­ western hotel. The dead are Wm. Phalin, Sr., who lived but a few minutes after the acci­ dent, dying from loss of blood caused from a severed artery in his leg. John Hilt, who had both legs and one arm blown off and other injuries, died at the Northwestern hotel about an hour later. v Elmer Dewey, of Hartford, Wis., one leg lost and quite severely injured about face and body. Died at the Northwestern hotel at 1' o'clock this morning. Among the injured are the following: Clarence Cobb, cuts on faoe, neck and body. Frink Cobb, back and hips injuried. Ray Lamphere, ugly g^sh in leg. Chas. Geske, Jace badly cut. Chas. Phalin, badly torn hips and back. Taken to home of Eli Brink and afterward removed to his home. Passed a yery restless night. Condition quite serious. Oliver Moore, crushed ankle, braises about body. Thos. Powers, cut on leg and face. Besides these, there were many quite severely shocked by the report, a num­ ber of whom were thrown to the ground. The accident, as near as can be learned, was brought about in this way: John Hilt, who had been using th%,ex­ plosive in blasting for the foundation, had placed between six and seven pounds of frozen dynamite into a pail of water for the purpose of thawing same. He was in the act of removing the sticks from the pail when the explosion took place. Just how it happened no one is able to tell. Will Mead, who was one of the first to arrive at the scene, tolls the following story: "I was up town when the report came. My attention was drawn in that direction when I saw a team of horses coming up the street at dead speed; they were coming directly toward my wagon, when 1 jumped forward to prevent them from colliding with me. Seeing my horses and wagon in a safe place I at once started for the factory, thinking something might have hap­ pened, and the sight which greeted my j eyes when arriving on the sceno was' something horrible. Men and boys were lying about the place, bleeding and dy­ ing. Those who had recovered from the shock were running about the bodies, which lay in the mud and water, like a lot of mad men almost crazed by the horrible sight. The first man who cor. fronted me was Mr. Hilt, who was lying in a pool of water, mud and blood, with both legs nearly torn from his body. 1 shouted to some for help, but those around me were so much stunned that 1 could not make them understand. Frank Thurlwell was one of the first to come to his senses and assist me. We pulled the dying man to a dry spot and began to bandage his legs with hand­ kerchiefs, suspenders, etc., to stop the flow of blood and later was removed to the Northwestern hotel. In less time than it takes to tell it an army of people were at the scene, including all the doc­ tors who were in town at the time, everyone doing what they could in help­ ing the poor sufferers. Mr. Phalin was carried up to the sidewalk where he died soon afterwards. The sight 1 shall never forget." Deputy Cororner Dr. Herriok of He­ bron was sent for and arrived in Mc­ Henry this morning. A jury composed of the following gentlemen, H. C. Mead, John Evanson, John Kimball, M. M. Niesen, Chas. Givens and C. T. Eld redge, was sworn in and returned a ver­ dict that the victims oame to their death by the accidental discharge of dynamite. The jury has not as yet been discharged, awaiting further investigation, if found necessary. Wm. Phalin, who nut death in the explosion, has always been classed as one of McHenry's best citizens. For many years he has managed the Mc­ Henry Brick mill. His unexpected death comes as a hard blow to his wife and family. Obituary will appear next week. John Hilt, whose home was at Cleve­ land, Ohio, was a married man and about forty years of age. The sad news was sent to his home city and relatives are expected here today or tomorrow. Elmer Dewey was a young unmarried man. His relatives were notified and his father arrived here this morning. The unfortunate victims, with the ex­ ception of Charles Phalin and Oliver Moore, are resting easily this morning and it is thought that their recovery will be speedy. Too much praise cannot be given our local doctors, as well as many others who made themselves useful. The good work of Will Mead, who proved himself a hero, was highly complimented by all. Geo. Meyers was among the fortunate ones, a barrel of water saving his lifa He had just stooped down behind the barrel when the explosion took place. The barrel was reduced to splinters, but George was uninjured. Several others of the workmen had very narrow es­ capes. All of the victims were employed at the factory wtih the exception of Wm Phalin, Chas. Phalin and Thos. Power?. Bros. Co. FANCY GROCERS. BARGAINS IN FLOUR! "ft-: Flour on earth...
