DISASTER IN A MINE
FOUR HUNDRED MEN ARE BURIED
DEEP UNDER EARTH.
SIGNALS COME FROM BELOW
i.- . -
HoweverPtThere is Great Fear That
'- All Who Are Entombed Will
Be Lost.
Cherry, 111. Nearly 400 human be
ings, men and boys, it is now believed,
are dead or perishing in the St Paul
mine here, where an explosion occur
red on Saturday, though experts, who
succeeded in penetrating the smoke
filled air shaft to a depth of 300 feet
late Sunday, returned with a ray of
hope for the griefstricken relatives
of the entombed men.
That the fire has been extinguished
was the conclusion of pining experts
and inspectors sent here by Governor
Deneen to investigate the calamity
and the cause.
For more than thirty hours the pri
soners have been cut on from fresh
air, and undoubtedly have been sub
jected to smoke-filled veins. That life
could exist under such conditions is
doubted by many, but because no
trace of high temperature was found
in the depths of the mine Sunday
night friends of the miners and even
of those of the company here, hope
that the victims may have found
safety in remote recesses of the mine.
A. J. Earling, president of the Chi
cage, Milwaukee & St Paul railroad,
who -has not slept since arriving on
the scene of the catastrophe, received
an encouraging report after heroic
efforts had been made Sunday to open
the mine for the release of the en
tombed men, or the discovery of the
much feared mass of dead.
At a late hour Sunday night the air
shaft in the mine had been sealed
tightly where it was opened during the
day. Opening of the main shaft is
expected to begin at 6 o'clock Monday
morning.
It is expected the mine inspectors
will call for more volunteers from the
miners who are acquainted with tho
plan of the mine. Oxygen apparatus
for a sufficient crew to make a suc
cessful exploration in the main shaft
has been ordered and is expected to
reach here early in the day. Five
men will be ready to go into the shaft
as soon as the seals have been broken,
provided conditions are safe.
The explorers will be sent into the
mine in the regular cage. This plan
was adopted because the bucket
scheme was found impracticable, in
sofar as the movements of the men
below were concerned. They could
not get out of the bucket.
From the son of one of the missing
miners, a young man named John
Reid, the railroad president heard
that a concussion of the earth had
been felt by farmers half a mile south
of the main shaft. The report was
sent to Henry Burke, an official of the
mining company. Burke rushed to
President Earling in the office of the
company.
"I've heard signals from the men,"
he said excitedly.
"What do you mean?" asked the
railroad president "What signal?"
"John Reid's boy said that he and
farmers whose land is over the south
ern end of the mine felt several con
cussions of the earth this afternoon.
There were several shocks, and the
men who felt them are convinced they
were shots fired by the imprisoned
miners and that they were meant for
an assurance that at least some of
them live.
NO RED CAP FOR AMERICAN.
Flans Abandoned at Rome for Cardin
al from United States.
Rome. It was announced that the

body.
Cracksmen Get $3,C00.
Waco, Tex. The safe of the Ben

with the burglars, who made their es
cape in a automobile.
Germans Want Suffrage.
Frankfort-on-the-Maine, Germany.
After a huge socialistic meeting in
the Circus Schumann Sunday in favoi
of universal suffrage serious demon
strations in the streets occurred.
Union Pacific Dividends.
New York. Quarterly dividends of

OPPOSED BY BARTON
STATE AUDITOR AGAINST SELL.
ING OF INSURANCE STOCK.
WILL ASK FOR LEGISLATION
Adjutant General Issues Orders in
Reference to State Guard. Capital
Matters in General.
State Auditor Barton is opposed to
Insurance' companies selling stock
through agents whose pay is taken
out of the money paid for the stock.
Along the same line he will ask for
legislation making it illegal for any in
surance company to transact business
in Nebraska whose capital stock has
not been fully paid up and to prohibit
any insurance company hereafter
formed to do business in the state if
the cost of its organization and stock
sales has exceeded 5 per cent of the
total sum contributed by the stock
holders. The state auditor believes the prac
tice of insurance companies putting
stock salesmen out on the road selling
stock and paying these salesmen out
of the money they secure from the
stockholders is not only bad practice,
but augurs well for someone to lose
money. For that reason he intends to
fight the practice if such is the prac
tice in Nebraska, and he warns the
people against buying stock in such
companies.
This question was taken up at tha
meeting of the insurance commission
ers from many states and a resolu
tion was adopted asking all the states
to enact legislation along the lines
above set out
It was brought out at that meeting
that from 20 to 30 per cent of the

therefore, of the capital stock never
reached the treasury of the company.

Taking Car f Yourself.
There never was a time whenpeo
f!e paid as much attention to their
health and strength as they do now.
Time was when fine stock and fine
horses were fed more carefully than
human beings.
The result of properly balanced ra
tions has worked wonders with stock
and recent experiments are proving
that the same thing is. true of man
kind. It has been found that Quaker Oats
eaten often and regularly taking the
place of heavy, greasy foods will work
wonders in the health and strength of
a family.
School children fed frequently on
Quaker Oats thrive physically and are
always capable of the best work at
school. For athletes, laborers, it is
the best food.. One of the attractive
features of Quaker Oats is the perfect
way it is packed. Besides the regular
size package there is the large size
family package. 10

When a man returns from a visit to
his folks, his wife looks at him as
much as to say: "What have they
been doing to poison j'our mind
against me now?"

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion or the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deftness Is caused by an inflamed condition ot the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or fen
perfect hearing, and when it is enUrely closed. Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the InCammatjon can bo
taken oat and tills tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hcarlmc will be destroyed forever: nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed eondiUon of the mucous surfaces.
Wc will irtve One Hundred Dollars for any case ot
Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured
