kansas CITY, March 3).-from the
many contradictory dispatches from Rich
Hillit appears that when the mine ex-
plosion occurred yesterday thrty-iiye
miners were in the shaft. Had It oc-
cured wminutes sooner one hundred
would have been in peril, and out OF this
grew the reports that one hundred We're
actunl.v in the mine. Immediate steps
were taken to rescue the miners As
soon as il was safe 10 10 SO and the fire
resulting from the explosion had
been eubdued a rescuing party de
scended into the shaft. They had
scarcely got TO work when another
explosion occurred, and the would
be rescuers narrowly escaped with their
lives. One OF these was George Swoeny,
superiutendent OF the mines, and he was
badly burned about the hands ana face.
The work OF rescuiDg was thus delayed
for many hours. The cries Of the I'M
prisoned men could be heard, but they
crew fainter and fainter, and by 3 o'clock
ceased altogether Five bodies have
been taken out. One man escaped I'M
hurt, and fourteen injured men have
been rescued. Most of them are IN dan
ger OF their lives. Fifteen now remain
i'm the mine, being in the west end, and
it is believed that most Of them will DO
taken ont dead. The work Is proceeding
very slowly, being attended with great
danger There Is no explanation Of the
cause Of the explosion. The mine is u
new one and was supposed TO be entirely
safe. 1t employed il5 men, most OF the
miners being negroes.
Lafer.-1he IImfs reporters sent by
special train to Rich Hill returned to-
night, and from their information the
situation may be summarized as follows 4:
The dead list has reached twenty-one,
and nine of the injured are expected to
die, making the probable loss OF life by
the explosion thirty.

These are the quotations on the pro-
duce exchange, and the retail price
would be somewhat higher. The adj
vance in flower is very noticeable, be-
ing $3.50. $3.50 and IS cents advance.
Apples are cheap, butter and eggs high,
and so eon. The advance is sharp
enough to indi"ate that the shoe will
pinch this winter on those who must
wear it.
The visible wheat supply in Mime
sofa is small. The statement of Mr..
Pillsbury that the mills lack grain for
grinding is cOrrObOrated by the rail
roads. The chinch bug, blight. mist,
hail and early frosts have swept wheat
out Of sight. The lesson of
not Ringing prosperity upon one
product has not yet been learned by
most of the farmers of Minnesota. The
repeated advance of prices in the but
ter, egg, poultry, pork and beef mar
ketS indicates how poor the home sup
ply of these articles is. Were the en-
ergy now staked upon the issue of a
wheat crop merged into the producing
of these, the price of these cOmmOdi-
ties would be less eXtortionate and a
sure profit inure every year to the pro-
Queer. The merchants with whom the
GLOBE talked this week agreed on this
"a natural law-the home supply must
equal the home demand before pro-
Queer and consumer will each profit
thereby
