His office In New York is in the same building with the counting room of the Ripans Chemical Co. Three or four years ago Mr. Senior was presented with a box of Ripans Tabules. These he took home. Ever since that day he has been a regular customer. His wife's mother is pronounced in the opinion that for gastric troubles, or for any Irregularity proceeding from a disordered stomach, the Tabules are the best medicine to which her attention has ever been directed during all her long experience. His wife at •ne time astonished him by asserting that for a sore throat the Tabules were a remedy of amazing effectiveness. He understands this better now since he has learned from bls physician that sore throat —like many other apparently local troubles, notably headache—is eften a direct result of a disordered stomach; and for this Mr. Senior well knows that the Tabules are a specific.

In Indiana tbo growth tm* ls-mi fair, bnt there lias b<s«i »>>nie dnmngo by froexlng and thawing. Ohio report* ln<H<wte rtie general condition as fair to poor, a groat deal of the wheat uot having made a fair growth by reaaon of a dry fall. Some of the sown did not isMue up at all. In Michigan the crop ia in better condition, ami ha* been coveissl with snow nearly all winter, though the plant generally made little growth iu tiie fall. The <s>nditiou iu Kentucky la hardly fair, at present, and In some counties is very poor. Missouri report* that In a good many counties the plant 1* yet very small.

An explosion of dynamite ha* occurred at Vieudendorp and the poor quarter of Johannesburg, Transvaal, has been blown to piece*. The windows of every house in the city were broken by the force of the c«eu*«ion. The scene of thJ explosion is the old town and i* fortunately at a distance from the main business and residence portion of the city. It wa inhabited largely by Kaffir*, the dwellings being of an inferior order for the moat part. The explosion caused much excitement at first because of tile recent disturbances in the Transvaal and tiie fear that it might have l>een due to a political coup. There was therefore a general turning out of the guards to see that no violence followed the wreck. The cause was soon learned and the excitement subsided in a measure. It rose again when the fearful nature of the catastrophe became known. The portion of the city demoliahed was thickly populated, although there were comparatively few white* who lived there. The dynamite which caused the catastrophe filled eight trucks, which were being shunted. The explosion caused an immense hole thirty feet deep. Every h-m.se witiiin a radius of half a mile of rhe exi>bxuon was razed tv the ground. Forty dead, nearly all terribly mutilated, have been taken from ruins. Two hundred of the most severely injured were admitted to tiie hospital, where several died. THE DROWN SNOW. Chief of the Weather Bureau Explains the Phenomenon. Amateur microscopist* wiped the dust from their lenses and proceeded to study the snow which spread a slate-colored mautieover the Northwest Tuesday night. After long gazing and much figuring various opinion* were reached. Each opinion had a public following until Prof. Willis L. 5; - -re, chief of Mie weati'cr bureau, sent a dispatch from Washington presenting hi* A v of what spoiled the snow. Then the audiences of the amateur olwervers grew smaller. Prof. Moore said: “The black snow that ha* fallen lately In Chicago and the Northwest is entirely similar to the great fall of January, 1895, the nature of which was thoroughly Investigated by the weather bureau at that time. Mi<-rosco[nc examination prdved that the black deposit contained organic structures —such as diatom* and spores—and about ’> per cent, of the finest possible inorganic matter, such a* make up the ordinary fine silt and clay noils. This fine materia! is easily caught up by the winds whenever they exceed twenty miles an hour. It may be carried great distances, and it is readily brought down by snow or ruin. Large portion* of the country from Nebraska southward are covered by this fine soil. A gale of wind ha* been known to carry away six inches of this fine soil and deposit it at a distance of 100 miles." All the powers except England have assented to the Sultan’s proposal to recognize Prince Ferdinand, of Bulgaria. Andrew Boyd, of Montreal, accused of forgery and arson, was remaaded in Is®don to awuit the arrival of extradition papers.
