have preMed about the rupea waiting for
suitable clothing fnr the work they had
to undergo, nrtd as fast as the little bucket
could take them down they went with will
Ins but detertnlnod faced. ,
There were stalwart follows there, black
and white, both, who went down to do
the work of- brattlclng up the mine or any
, other work that came 1o hem to do, and
then about 11 o'clock some of the best
miners In the district staffed down the
ahaft, two at a time, Peter Wise, a
former member ' of the district executive
committee, got Into the bucket and disap
peared. So did M. X. McQuald, the veteran
mine foreman of Freeport, and two of his
men. Bo- did: W. J. Bell. So did Bob
North, who did, his beat, last night. So
did half a score (if other, men, and the
first real exploration of . the mine was
begun. There was no hurrah or hand
clasp or cheer, but with Jhe heartfelt and
silent "God bless you" of every man, wom
an and child about tho pit mouth, the men
went down to their grim work.
Reieser Telia Awful Story.
Tf It Is once settled beyond doubt that
It the men In the mine are dead the work
of ventilating the mine can proceed more
rapidly but that l the trouble, and has
been since the work of rescue began. To
work the fan In a way to quickly clear the
mine of the foul air would drive the after
damp In upon the men who may have found
a temporary place of refuge and It would
mean almost Instant death ,to them. The
only hopeful persons about the mlno are
the women and children, and they will
never be convinced that their husbands or
tholr fathers have perished until their
corpses have been brought out, of the open
ing. Contributions' to 'aid the families of
the entombed miners are already coming
Ing There are more than 100 widows and
probably too or 600 orphans, who hava been
living on the scanty wages of the average
coal miner.
-At 8:.t0 o'clock this afternoon. Mike Mo
Quo Id, "one of the leaders of the rescuers,
ram up from the shaft and said It would
he, late tonight before they would be able
to get out any of the bodies.
"We hove seen at the bottom of the
shaft," said he, "a pile of legs and arms
and trunks that resemble anything but
the remains of human beings. It Is the
most gruesome sight I ever witnessed."
.."When do you expect to reach the place
where the most of the men are?" he waa
aeked.
"There Is fiO such place,"- replied he,
they are scattered all over the mine,
some of them, poor fellows In fragments.
You can hava but a faint conception of
tha awful force' of this explosion. It tore
men to pieces. It did not leave enough of
soma of them to tell what they were."

ST. PETERSBURG'S CELLAR LIFE
Thousands of People Living - t'nder-
sjrouad Unknown to the
House-Holders." ,
The heavy floods In Btj Petersburg re
cently drove to the surface 2S0,00O people
who prey upon the tolerance of household
ers by living In their cellars. The: return
to underground lodgings of the army of
Ill-nourished persons has added enormously
to a death rate which was already much
larger than that of any other Christian
capital. It Is a part of an unwritten code
that a lady or gentleman should not know
where cellars, garrets, laundry rooms or
sorvants' quarters are, and a genuine St,
Petersburg householder never does know
from one year's end to another.
Mrs. McCormlck. tbe wife of the Amerl
can ambassador, after she and Mr. Mc
Cormlck had moved Into the palace they
now occupy In St. Petersburg, became con
eclous of singular smells. The fragrance
of stale herring, onions, soapy water and
boiling cabbage penetrated to her drawing
room. As a competent housekeeper, sh
made Inquiry. No one would tell her at
first, but finally the butler admitted the
odors came from those who lived In the
cellars. Lived In the cellars! How could
that be? To the horror of the aervants
she Insisted on going to the cellars where
she found alxty-elght permanent dwellers.
She railed In a policeman and had them all
turned out.
Mrs. McCormlck mentioned her singular
discovery to the Countess de Montebello,
the wife of the then French ambassador.
"That Is nothing," said the countess. "My
sister and her children were coming to see
me. My maid said:
" 'Madame, I would earnestly advise you
not to have the children come.'
What do you mean? Why not? I aald.
' I don't mean anything, only I think
the children should not come. They might
get 111.'
"I asked what she meant by such non
sense and questioned her sharply. She was
distressed, and only after a long time
would she say mysteriously:
f There ape fifteen cases of diphtheria
In ths house.'
'1 found that more than 100 people lived
In the cellars snd thst. as the maid had
Said, .fifteen children had tha diphtheria.
Some thousands actually live under the
Winter palace. Not only that, but recently
a-dairy with aeveral cows waa found In

disturbed. That would have been out of

Representative Wade, the only demo

day Introduced a bill to cripple the beef
trust. If such a thing be possible. Mr.
Wade's bill bears the title of a "Bill to
suppress monopolies or trusts in restraint
of trade In cattle, hogs and other animals
or meats." It proposed under Its provis
ions to Impose a fine of not less than $1,00)
nor mo'e than $5,000 on any firm or cor
poration who may violate Its provisions.
The measure Is- Intended to prevent the
custom which has grown up of transport
ing meat products from one state to an
other and selling the product at auch prices
as to drive competition In that community
from business or with the purpose of sell
ing to one dealer In the community to the
exclusion of all others. In addition to the
fine Imposed the postmaster general Is
directed to exclude from the malls all cir
culars or letters from an offending firm or

QUIT COFFEE.
Bald tho Great German Specialist.
It disappoints some people to be told that
coffee causes the disease. But It Is best to
look squarely at facts and set the faoe
towards health for that's more fun than
anything else anyhow. A Cincinnati man
consulted a Berlin Physician on nervous
dlseasea and says:
"Four years ago I was a habitual coffee
drinker having used It for 25 years and Do
ing naturally of a nervous temperament, I
became almost a nervous wreck, greatly
suffering from Insomnia, almost constantly
constipated and weighing only 123 pound a
"I consulted physicians and took medi
cine all the time but had no relief. About
three years and a half ago I went abroad
and while In Berlin heard frequently of a
great physician. Prof. Mendel, an authority
on nervous trouble, so I resolved to consult
him.
"Prof. Mendel surprised me very much
by asking at once If I was a coffee drinker
and on my telling him I used ll two or
three times a day he said, 'It la poison,
After carefully examining me he told me
there was nothing the matter with nit
whatever but what could bo enUrely curod
tn 10 days by letting coffee and other stim
ulants alone and dieting.
"I had a hard time following his advice
I did not know what to do until I came home
and told my wife, who got some Postum.
We tried It. but st first did not like It; then
we went over the directions on the pack
age together and found ws had not boiled
It long enough. That was the beginning of
the end of my trouble for the Postum was
delicious after that and I drank It regularly
and tt helped me from ths start.
"In a very short time I began to feel much
better and In the last three years I haven't
been absent from business one hour on ac
count of HI health, for my h'ealth is fine now.
I have a good appetite, sleep well and
weigh 176 pounds." Name given by Poaium

of redeeming It, paying the transportation

PASSING OF A NOBLE JUSTICE
One Who Administered Justice with
Impressive Force and
Manly Vigor.
In the death, a few days ago, of Justice
of the Peace Andrew Tracey of Mount
Pleasant, N. Y., the world suffered what Is
perhaps art Irreparable loss. Squire Tracey
was a country Justice of the peace who
honored his profession. In addition io
being six feet two Inches tall hnd weighing
400 pounds he believed In arbitration. When
ever a case was brought before him he en
deavored to Induce the parties to It to
compromise. He was not a believer In
legal squabbling, and It Is recorded of
him that he succeeded In" Settling 90 per
cent of his casts by the administration of
good advice.
But after nil he was human, and, being
so, there were times when he failed. Once
a man who had beaten his wife was taken
beforo Squire Tracey. The kindly disposed
giant on the bench delivered a lecture to
the wrongdoer, lh which the evils of wife
beating were eloquently set forth. At the
end of tho squire's talk ho proposed to let
the sinner go free If he would promise not
to beat his wife again. The fellow was
Bullen, however, and declined to make
tho promise, whereupon Squire Tracey
walked from behind his table, hit the gen
tleman on the Jaw, and after knocking him
down proceeded to administer a drubbing
that lasted until thefo were yells for mercy
and enthustastld Indications of willingness
on the part of the -One beneath to make the
promise which the-sgtilre, httd demanded
Tneman never aetaf, las wire again, an
tho 'case was dlsmjs?ed without costs.

Engine Is Beyond Control.
In the main shaft of the mine sixteen
men were being hoisted In a cage from
the sixth, seventh and eighth levels
When the cage reached the surface the
engineer, for some unexplained reason.
was unable to stop the engine and the
cage with its load of human freight was
drawn up Into the gallows frame where
It became lodged temporarily. The strain
on tho cable finally caused It to part and
the cage, released, shot down the shaft
with terrlflo speed.
Two of the occupants, L. P. Jackson and
James Bullbek, had become entangled In
the timber rods near the top of the gal
lows frame. Jackson was crushed to death
by the sheave wheel fulling upon him.
while Bullbek had a marvelous escape
from death, but received painful Injuries
and was rescued from his perilous posi
tion. The other fourteen men were hurled
to death down the 1,600-foot shaft.
As soon as porslhle the shift boss and a
number of miners went down Into the
mlno through another compartment of the
shnft. They found all fourteen dead, the
bodies scattered nt different points. Arms
and bodies had been torn, heads crushed
and . clothing stripped from the victims.
From the 700-foot level to the bottom, the
shaft was spattered with blood while here
and there were found pieces of flesh
clinging to the projections. At the bottom
of the shaft stands twenty-five feet of
water and Into this the cago plunged.

Mllltln Takes Charsce.
One of those killed, W. B. Collins, was a
Baptist minister, who preached on Sundays
at Goldflcld and during the week worked In
the mines. He was 38 years old and came
from Cornwall, England, a few months ago
Most of tho victims had come from Couer
d'Alene, Lake Superior and other places to
take tho places of tho strikers. Harry Ooe
gen leaves a widow and three children In
Michigan. Frank Gelles, engineer In charge,
surrendered himself to tho military officers
In the district and was locked up. lie would
not talk. The mtlltla has taken charge of
tho mine and a rigid examination will be
made.
The accident is believed to have been due
to a defect In the hoisting er.glne brake
connections, which are controlled by air.
The engine Is a first .motion double reel
and the two cages work as-counter bal
ances. The cages each weigh 'nearly two
tons. In starting the cnge from the 600-
foot level today steam was used, but after
the cage had gone up a certain distance
under steam pressure the steam was shut
off by Engineer Gelles and the weight of
the counter-balancing descending cage In
the other shaft department wsa allowed to
bring tha load of miners to the surface, as
Is the custom When the cage with the
sixteen miners arrived at the surface En
gineer Gelles discovered that the air brakes
would not work.
Similar accidents, In which no lives were
lost, have occurred twicn before at the
Independence mine with the same englAe
now in use there.
YOU NEED NOT GET DRUNK
Some Buttermilk on tha Bids Neu
tralizes the Effects of
Alcohol. ,.
"A little buttermilk 'on the side' when
you take a drink of wet goods will savs
the stomach and liver," said a Washington
mixologist, "and many of the Imbibers
who have -the reputation of being able to
'put you unde the table' give It out on
the quiet that they are able to take forty
or fifty drinks without feeling, any bad
effects . If they 'side It' with buttermilk
I guess there is no question but that the
milk la a complete remedy for any evil
effects from alcohol,' and the .calls for a
little milk are growing more numerous
every day. There Is no danger of hob
nailed liver to any whisky drinker who
uses buttermilk, and this assertion Is borne
our from the fact, that buttermilk la used
largely by many of our beat physicians In
their practice. I know an excellent phy
sician who stopped all drinks on a patient
with Jaundice except buttermilk. As
stomach protector against every 111 effect
of alcohol it has no equal. It SppeSJS to
havs the power of getting between whisky
snd the lining of the stomach. At first
the buttermilk side Issue was simply a fad
with some of the rounders, but now that
Its value Is known every first-class bar
has found It necessary to keep a good
supply of fresh buttermilk on hand. A
few southern congressmen patronise this
bar and eight out of ten call for butter
milk.
"But If a fellow wishes to go out for
night of It and wants the pleasure o
knowing that he has put all of his run
ntng mates under the table the best thing
for him to do Is to drink about a half
pint of olive oil Just before he takes his
first drink. Then he ran tank u to his
very chin and relieve himself of he load
by running his finger down his throat. The
whisky cornea up, but the olive oil stsys
there and he can go right ahead and lay
In a dosen or two more drinks with the
greatest ease, relieving himself In the same
way. You see, tho oil and whisky will
not mix, and the whisky staying on top
It Is not a difficult matter to get It out
and the oil also prevents the whisky from
flying to the head, though It may make
the legs a little tired.

SENATE DIVIDES ITS TIME
Dircuisea Panama Question and Listeni to
' 8peoh bj Mr. Stone.
MR. HEYBURN MAKES HIS FIRST SPEECH
Supports Beaolutlon Prohibiting Rail
road Companies from Tallinn tp
liSsd In n Solid Body In Lien
of Forest Reserves.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The time of
the senate was again divided between con
sideration of -the Panama question and
other subjects. There was only one speech
on the canal question and It was made by
Mr. Stone of Missouri, who spoke to a
resolution directing the senate committee
on foreign relations to make an Investiga
tion Into the Panama revolt. Ho con
tended that the circumstances Indicated
complicity on the part of the United States
In the secession of Panama and argued
that In tho Interest of the country's good
name all the facts should be known.
Mr. Heyburn of Idaho made his first
speech in the senate In support of a reso-
ution Introduced by Mmself prohibiting
railroad companies from taking up land
n a solid body In lieu of land In forest
reservations. A number of bills were
passed. Including one for a memorial
bridge across, the Potomac river at Wash
ington. The resolution presented yesterday by
Mr. Tillman unking for Information from
tho secretary of war concerning the ap
pointment of General Wood and other
army officers was passed without debate.
BOUTELL GRAVE AND POETIC
Praises Dlngley Art and Predicts the
Re-election of Roosevelt by n
Grent Majority.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28. Mr. Boutell,
rep., (III.) addressed tne nouse ior nearly
two hours today in a reply to statements
made by Mr. WilliamB, (Miss.) the
minority leader, .In his "stand pat" speech
of a few days ago.
Mr. Williams In turn replied to Mr. Bou
tell. The house had under consideration at
the time the urgent deficiency bill. Mr.
Boutell received close attention of both
sides of the chamber and when he spoke
of tho passing of the lust shade of bitter
ness between the north and south he was
loudly applauded on both sides. Mr. Boutell
was humorous and grave, pathetic and
poetic.
Answering to the charge of the -minority
leader that the republicans were idol wor
shipers he reviewed the history of the
democratic party- In tho last two cam
paigns, and In doing so he likened the
conspicuous figures of that party to char
acters In biblical history. Ha told the
minority that they still have Mr. Bryan
to reckon with. Mr. Boutell had carefully
prepared tt volume of extracts from south
ern newspapers, each of which spoke of the
prosperity enjoyed In Its respective' com
munity, stress being laid on conditions In
Mississippi. While -not--claiming credit for
these conditions 'wholly - for the" Dlngley
act, he said 'that tt was the moat bo De
ficient law to all tteotions that - hod ever
been enacted.
Mr. Boutull, In conclusion declared that
Mr. Roosevelt would be renominated and
would receive the same large vote that
was given to Lincoln, Grant and to Mc
Klnley, and said that If It were not for
those whom ho called "geographical demo
crats," the vote would be the greatest since
Monroe's time. . Reference to Mr. Roose
velt received applause on the republican
side.
Mr. Williams, In his reply was likewise
humorous "and as to Mr. Boutell's refer
ence to Mr. Roosevelt as the republican
nominee said that the republicans had
gone so far that they could not back out
and, were obliged to "stand pat" on Mr.
Roosevelt." . Referring to the Philippines,
he said:
"If that is another thing that you want
to stand pat on, stand pat then on your
unAmerlcan, old European-army-milltary-c&mp,
grab-nation policy of an Indefinite
colonialism.
When Mr. Boutell had concluded Mr. Wil
liams crossed over and shook hands with
him, Mr. Boutell returning the compliment
when Mr. Williams had concluded.
A resolution calling on the postmaster
general for Information . relative ,to. the
number of carriages maintained by the
government tor the Postoffice department
was passed after a spirited debate..-. .

I take great pleasure In recommending
Munyon's Paw-Paw, before ail other
tonics, as a cure for dyspepsia and disor
dered stomach. I was a long suffrer Hnd
tried numerous remedies wlth-ut benefit.
I purchased a bottlo of Pawi-Paw and
shared It with my wife, who suffered
freatly with Indigestion and kindred Ills,
t did us so much good that I straightway
ordered half a dozen bottles for ouiwlve
and friends. The result has been wonder
ful. It has put new life Into both of u,
completely regulating our digestion - and
seemingly transforming old age into youth.
