Having a population of 4,000 people it is the head-
quarters of both freight and passenger divisions of
USTU. P. B'y'Co., and is the home of about 500
railway employes' whom monthly pay roll amounts
to some $35,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation
canals are, rapidly nearing completion, which will
bring into the highest state of cultivation 150,000
acres of the most productive land upon which the
snn's rays shine. The citizenship of North Platte
is that of the best afforded by ther older states, and
her people are active, progressive and prosperous,
To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from
the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acres
of vacant government land, in close proximity to
those already being brought under irrigation, may
be obtained by consulting the United States land
offlcein-Nortbr Platte. A"totter"of Inquiry to "u.
S. Begister, North Platte, Neb., relative to the
above will be courteously answered. Irrigated
farming is no longer nn experiment, but has
reached' the point whero it' is acknowledged as
pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method
of conducting agricultural and horticultural oper
ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of
Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and
where pulmonary troubles are untbought of, is
another incentive to the location therein of those
who are anxious to enjoy the good things of this
life as long as possible. North Platte churches
and schools are above those of eastern communis
tios.'tho latter being one of the few in Nebraska,
permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State
University without an intermediate preparatory

A number of Americans propose
to raise a great granite cross on the
Isle of Wright to the memory of the
poet Tennyson. It would be a
graceful recognition of the poet's
popularity in this country and also
of the honors paid to our own Long
fellow by a bust in Westminister
Abbey.
Now that Uncle Sam has had his
rijrht cheek 'slapped bv Spanish
cut-throats will he turn the left, or
will the adminstration at Washing
ton, give the rascals a touch of a
thorough-going American policy
that will command the admiration
and respect of the world. The
United jstates could very satisfac
torily embrace the island of Cuba
as a portion of her territory, and it
would be better to acquire it
through congest than by purchase.
"As X result of the 'Whiskey Trust
examination by the new receiver,
Gen.,John P. McNulta, the report
of the committee will be made pub
lic the last of this week. It is said
the document will lay bare the con-
spiracy by certain officers;, of the

No., 432, was introduced by Meyers
of Rock ia tie house and there
passed with jone amendment, as
follows "Provided, .that where

the house bill appeared in the senate
in committee of the whole. During
the consideration of the irrigation

had .secured an amendment repeal
ing the restriction in present laws
as to the multiplicity of ditches.
Lamborn therefore moved that the

Denver, March 21. A special to The
Times from Evanston, Wy., says: The
details of the explosion at the
Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron
company's mine sso. o, at Ken.
Canon, at 5:4o last evening, mark it as
one of the mo3t horrible in the history
of coal mining in the west. There are
40 men lying dead at the bottom of the
mine at this writing covered with de
bris. As many men as can are working to
recover their bodies. The, bodies of 19
have been recovered. Fifty of the dead
men were married and' nine single.
There are 50 widows and 250 orphaned
children as a result of the disaster. The

Details of the Horror.
Evanstox, Wy., March 21. A terri-.
hie explosion at Rocky Mountain mine
No. 5, situated at Red Canon, Wy., is
believed to have killed 60men, who are
imprisoned in the mine, in addition to
10 who were in the power house above
crround or near the shaft openings. The
slopes and entrauces to the lower work
ings are all blockaded by wreckage, and
it is thought at least three days "will be
required for rescue parties to reach the
bodies in the mine.
The horror occurred at 5:45 p. m. at
No. 5, Central Pacific mine, Red Canon,
five miles north of Evanston. The ex
plosion in the mine shocked the whole
country around, wrecked the power
plant, a fanhouse aud several other
buildings, entailing heavy loss, but the
death roll far overshadows other consid
erations.
Edwin Cox, the outside carpenter
James Bruce, outside boss, James W.
Clark, William Sellers, jr., and James
Gernku, an Austrian, were killed in the
powerhouse, while O. Maltby, foreman,
Jerry Crawford and Andrew Mason
were injured and died soon afterwards,
the last three being about the power
house at the time of the explosion. A
few hours later the dead bodies of
James Limb and Fred Morgan were
brought from the slope. Around the
mine a great throng of people are anx
iously mquiring regarding friends
known to be in. ;tbe mine, and all hope
of auy of jgfrig alive is gone.
No one. af terjseeing the' ghastly spec
tacle presented" by the two bodies
brought out of the slope could have
hopes of tiny in the mine being alive.
Bodies Burned and Blackened.
These bodies were burned and black
ened, with garments torn to shreds,
making it almost impossible to identify

bodies. Then reported rwe-ins stopped
farther progress down the slopes. Then
a party went down to clear away the
cave-ins, after which the searching party
again entered, and work in that line is
now going on. The slope being down

and ar tfalf wiles long, will- probably re

A few lives were savedbecause of the
time of the explosion. The miners quit
work at 6 o'clock, and it is customary
for them to be near the entrance and
come out just as the whistle blows. A
number of men had come out, and some
had just left the entrance to the mine
slope, away from tho working tunnel,
when the explosion occurred, thus escap
ing death. Zsko Baker and his father
and a: brother came out five minutes be
fore the explosion. Zeke was thought
to have been killed with the Crawford
boy, but he was not much hurt. John
Hannama, a carpenter, had just come
out, and was talking to Neex and Brewer
when, they were, killed, he being burned
slightly.
A weigher was the only person in
the power house libt Killed, he being but
slightly burned; except tho engineer,
who was blown through the window
and bnt little hurt.
Around the mine is a population of
2,000. Many families are bereft of their
fathers or sons. A more sorrowful com
munity could not bo found.
Shook tke Whole Tows.
The explosion has been described by ,
many as most tenificj shaking the whole
town and causing women and children
to run into tho streets crying "Oh, my
husband!" "Oh, my papa!" with raised
hands, imploring for the safety of their
beloved ones. The explosion is supposed
to have come from a blast setting fire to
dust, making a dust explosion, since
the mine has been supposed to be free
from gas, having been well ventilated.
The Rocky Mountain company, general
ly designated as the Central' Pacific
mine3, have two mines, Nos. 5 and 6,
with one mile face, making two separate
mines, with 150 pillars separating them.
This leaves No. 6 unharmed, but de
prives the company of over half its ca
pacity. This is the third disastrous ex
plosion in this vicinity. In 1881 No. 2
mine, Rocky Mountain, exploded, kill
ing 3( Chinese and four white men. In
the spriug of 188(5 one in Union Pacific
mine No. 4 killed 36 men.

LAST Or TOE KE'15LS SENTENCED.
Ex-Qaeea LUiaetcalaal Is Still a Prisoner
at the Palace.
New York, March 21. A special dis
patch to the World fron Honolulu says:
The recent rebellion is now legally a
thing of the past, for less than a week
ago the judge advocate of the. military
commission announced that the govern
ment had no more cases of treason to
bring before that body. The last lot of
prisoners sentenced were 25 ragged aud
poverty stricken natives who were given
a brief trial, occupying less than an
hour's time, and they were hustled off
to the penitentiary as one man. Twenty
three of these natives were sentenced to
five years imprisonment and two were
given six years each. No one seems to
know what action will be taken in tho
case of the ex-queen, who is still a pris
oner in one of the rooms at the palace.
The ex-queen continues in good health..
At the conclusion of her trial for treason,
wnich occupied but three days, a num
ber of well known Americans and somo
of the more prominent women of Hono
lulu called twice upon President Dolo
in intercede in her behalf. Generous
offers were made to have her released
on bond, but the government officials
refused to consider the question.

Granted a New Trial.
Mandax, N. D.. March 12. William
O. Pancoast, the Ohio bank robber and
alleged wife innrdcrer, sentenced to
hang May 23; gots a new trial. Pan-
coast robbed a Medina (O.) bank of sev
eral thousand dollars a few years ago,
ran away to Canada and to Minneapo
lis, where he changed his name to Myron
O. Kent. There he married Miss Julia
Holmes, a young lady in the first cir
cles, and in the, fall of 1892 moved to a
farm near Man dan. In March, 1893,
Mrs. Kent was murdered and Kent dis
appeared. A hired man named Sora
beski was arrested and confessed that he
killed Mrs. Kent for $,800, which Kent
promised to give him. Kent wa9 ar
rested in Colorado, brought back here
and convicted of first dem-eo murder.
The supreme court of Nortli Dakota, in
granting a new trial, holds that when
the defendiuit presents an affidavit stat
ing that he cannot have a fair trial by
reason of bias and prejudice of the judge,
it is the absolute duty of such judge to
call in another jndgo to help try the
case. The conrt says the word "may"
in the statute must be construed as mandatory.-

Sadie to 20 years.
Their crime was the killing of Mont
gomery Gibbs.
So intense was interest in the outcome
that the city hall corridors were crowded
long before the hour of opening of the
court. Sheriff's deputies struggled
with tho throng to keep them from
bursting in the conrtrooni doors. It was
with difficulty that a passage was cleared
for the entrance of the handcuffed pris
oners and the judge.

Central Pacific Bonds.
London, March 21. The Pall Mall
Gazette publishes au interview with Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson, who has just re
turned from the United States, whero
he has been in communication with the
United States government as represen
tative of British holders of Central Pa
cific bonds. According to Sir Charles
Rivers Wilson, Secretary Carlisle states
that, he would rather not touch a cent of
the, debt owing by the railway thanithe
Central Pacific should be subjected to
the pound of flesh principle. The gov
ernment, Sir Charles added, was pre
pared to accept the principal of the
debt, foregoing interest, but in his
opinion the result was doubtful, owing
to the temper of the next congress,
which, he is quoted as asserting, "con
tains some wild people .socialistically."
Decided Against Artist Whistler.
Paris, March 21. The somewhat fa
miliar case of Sir William Eden against
James 3f. Whistler, the well known
artist, was decided against the. artist.
The action was brought by Sir William
