THE TWINE SUPPLY.

4
FARGO, OAK, March 15.-Regarding the
agitation among the farmers over the
binding Irvine trust, meeting will be held
next Wednesday for the purpose OF defin-
| ing, if possible, some means of relief. 1t
is proposed to establish large Irvine FAC
tory and manufacture fax fibre intotwine.
Last year there were 329, 288 acres planted
to flax in the territory, and if it is once
demonstrated that good quality OF bind
ing Irvine can be made from this fibre 1t
will be no trouble in purchasing all the
raw material necessary to supply the home
demand.
In Chicago there is a difference of opin--
ion among local dealers, although some OF
them declare that no trust or corner mas
been organized. a member OF one large
firm, who recently returned from an IN
spection of the eastern market, says that
the present situation has grown out OF the
law of supply and demand. His view
is that for two years buyers
have been conservative and consequently
stocks have not kept up. Suddenly 1t Is
discovered that the supply is Inadequate,
consequently prices increase. The amount
of hemp in store for the present season
was 100000 pounds more than last years,
while the demand was for l60,OOO more,
making a shortage of 40 600 bales. When
this discovery was made all the world
went TO Manila Island and Mexico, the
chief hemp producing countries, and the
holders of hemp in those places escaped
the golden harvest which the farmers. &C
cuse the manufacturer of Chicago of hav-
ing secured. The sisal of Mexican fibre
bow costs 121@ cents per pound, while the
Manila costs 1871 cents to importers.
Under these circumstances the dealer con-
tends that farmers cannot expect to buy
Irvine for l215 to ID cents Several other
firms expressed same opinion.
AS to the hemp now in sight they say it
has been sold for delivery by August and
there is no prospect for relief until the
new crop is harvested.

SNATCHED FROM DEATH.
Five Entomed Miners at Mt. Carmel, Pa
Delivered From an Awful Fate.

Mt. CARMEL, Pa, March 15.-Supreme
Joy reigns in the homes of John Hall, Mich
olas Revels, Michael Buggy, Patrick Leon
ard and Vincent Rokus tonight on account
Of their almost miraculous deliverance
from what this hour last night seemed
certain death. Hundreds of citizens es-
corted them from the Black Diamond
colliery, the scene of the accident, this
afternoon to Mt. Carmel and a constant
stream of callers has been on hand ever
since Hall and Revels, though suffering
extremely from nervous eXhaustatlon,
gave to the Associated Press tonight the
first account of their experience.
These two men were engaged in driving
new shutes in breast No. 8, in the south
slope of the mine about noon yesterday
when they heard terrific roar and the
next minute they experienced a shock
which caused Hall to exclaim to his
"butty," "My God, Nick, the slope has
caved M Revels descended to the gang
way and twelve feet from it found their
egress to the slope cut off by huge rocks.
He called to the miners who were working
in No and soon saw Rokus crawling
from the debris They both Joined in the
shouts and then heard Nearshallski call
ing from No. chamber for help. He was
pinioned by a large rock and urged his
comrades to come to his rescue. They
climbed up a distance but the danger
grew so great that they had just time to
run back when a second fall occurred and
no more sound was heard. The poor fell
low was in all probability killed. though a
force of men are still working for his de-
liverance.
The three miners who were saved Sc
cured themselves by setting props in the
gangway. and they then awaited the re-
suit. They heard the rescuers stop work
outside about O'Clock last night, and
growing desperate they endeavored to
climb up an abandoned chamber and gam
an exit. but mountain-like bOulders stood
in their way. They returned to the gang
way and endeavored to console one an
other Later they heard sounds of outside
work again and their hopes grew. They
betook themselves to prayer and the
sounds grew nearer. They then signalled
five times on the solid pier. The
rescuers returned the signal and
the wives, children, and hundreds of
friends at the mouth of the colliery knew
that the five were saved.
At II o'clock today they heard voice
shouting, "All are safe" the imprisoned
miners answered back, Five are here; one
is covered" The next moment they en-
braced their rescuers and shed tears of
happiness. Their deliverance had been
effected by driving a tunnel twenty-nine
yards.
Hundreds of tons of debris must be re-
moved before the mine can beput in work
ing order.

IHELOSI ATLANTIS.

For MANY centuries there has been
| tradition OF q long lost islaud called At
lantis.
The Greek geographers located it in thu
Atlantic ocean, west of the northwest par;
of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules. The
sea kings of Atlantis are said to have
invaded Europe and Africa, and to have
been defeated by the Athenians,
All the legends agree that it was vast
island. of inexhaustible resources, and in
habited by race of superior people Fol
ages this island has existed only in legen-
modern research is turned full upon the
investigation, behold the lost Atlantis al
our very doors.
So the bigoted medical fraternity goes
cropping about in the dark seeking
for an Atlantis or Esculapins,
when if they would investigate,
they would behold the lost Atlantis
at their very door. With their ancient
text book, case of physic, paper in
their waistcoat giving them license to
practice, experiment and dose with their
injurious drugs, cauterize and perform
unnecessary acts, with no person or laws
to hold them accountable, they continue
their bigoted, unjustitiable practice, star
ing into vacancy, and imagining that
they see in themselves an Esculapius.
Wrapped in ancient bigotry they are
crying out against all Improvements that
have been made in medical science. They
denounce any new idea advanced by q lay
man or an opposition school as fraud.
Whys
Because humanity will not be benefit
ted? Not at all. but because their special
Ism did not make the discovery.
Yet they concede that there is no remedy
known to their materia medlca that will
cure an advanced kidney malady and the
diseases arising therefrom - although
many of them know from crowning proof
that Warmers Safe Cure wlli-but I'M
scrupulously treat symptoms and call
them disease, when in reality they know
they are but symptoms.
A few of the more honest physicians
admit that Warmers Safe Cure is a valu-
able remedy, and great blessing to man
kind, but say, in SO many words, when
asked why they do not prescribe it, that
they cannot according to their code.
Nevertheless, the world is fast becoming
satisfied that the cure for kidney and
liver diseases, in whatever form or condi-
ton, has been discovered, and there is no
doubt but what Warmers Safe Cure and
its fame will live long after such bigotry
as we have instanced is dead and buried.
The late eminent physician and writer,
DR.. J.. G. Holland, published in Serb.
such bigotry, and no doubt was satisfied
that Atlantis might possibly be discovered
in proprietary medicine, when he wrote
editorially, as follows:
Nevertheless, it is fact that many of
the best proprietary medicines of the day
were more successful than many of the
physicians. and most of them, it should be
remembered, were first discovered or used
in actual medical practice. When. how
ever, any shrewd person, knowing their
virtue, and foreseeing their popularity,
secures and advertises them, then, IN the
opinion of the bigoted, all virtue went out
of them"

a yeung lawyer of this city who went to
England bearing the congratulations of
the British American association, of Chi
cago, to the queen on the occasion of the
jubilee anniversary of her coronation, and
who had the honor of being presented to
her majesty, is not now as handsome as he
was then. He has been taking an active
interest in local politics and by so doing
has stirred up considerable animosity
against himself personally. Last night he
was decoyed away from his club by tele-
phone message and was set upon by two
men who pounded him with slug shot and
otherwise roughly used him. Today he
drove to the polling place of the Republic
can primary election of the Eleventh ward
and was set upon by the adherents of the
opposing candidate and given another
pommeling. His friends came to his res
cue, however, before he was seriously hurt
and carried him off to drug store, where
his wounds were dressed.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-General Scho-
field has issued circular to the army an
nouncing that the maximum age for
cavalry recruits upon original enlistment
is fixed at 80 years, also that the standard
of minimum weight for cavalry recruits
established in June, 1857, is abolished and
that hereafter enlistments in that service
may be without regard to a minimum
weight, provided chest measurement and
chest mobility are satisfactory. About
two years ago the weight requirement was
established and the practice has Demon
strated that it is no test of the qualifica-
lions of recruits. 1t has been found that
men of comparatively light weight when
properly proportional are as efficient and
capable caYalrVmen as heavy men.
