were beardless youths, neither Of them
appearing to have reached twenty one
years Of age. About FIVE days ago they
reached Beaver City, the most important
town in No Mans Land, coming from
Guthrie, Oklahoma. While in Beaver
City they talked much al out being

Puck says: "Tho white man who drives q
coal cart has to resort to soap and water, just
as does negro who has spent the day in white
Washing"
But the most strange things of all are usually
resorted to when man gets sick
OF course he doesn't want doctor--st least
not at first lie usually goes TO the 20. called
saloon aud gets drink, which makes him feel
rather duz6d, so he takes another, and comes
home temporarily elated, supposing himself
cured.
When le wakes next morning, with a head.
ache twice as bad as ever, and feeling feverish
and cross he concludes he will have to try
some thing else.
He takes dose Of whatever he happens to
have in the house--some liver renovator, kidney
evaporstor, or heart rnlarger--and sets forth
saying IL he isn't better to- morrow he will send
for the doctor.
Next morning lie is rick in bed the doctor
is called, shakes his head. prescribes two or
three kinds Of medicine, according to his med
ical creed, but always insists upon perfect
quiet, aud that the patient must not go to his
Office for two weeks the result will be serious.
He docs, in TRUTH lie IN bed for a week or
ten days. his recovery retarded by a multitude
of remedies and the knowledge that his bus-

does drag out at last, he finds that the family
must deny themselves everything but the'com-
mon necessities of life for some time to come,
In order that the doctors bill may be paid, and
repairs made in the business.
Now the proper thing for this man to have
done was to have bought bottle Of New Style,
Pleasant Taste Vinegar Bitters, the moment
he felt the first headache, and to have taken
two tablespoonfuls at once. Two or three half
doses. two days apart, after the first dose had
taken effect. would have cured him and pre-

TEN MEN KILLED.
Crightful Accident at a Goal Mine
In Pennsylvania.
Miners Hurled to Death--The Cage They
Were in Smashed By = Car Pushed
Into the Shaft.


Po1rsvILLE, PA, May 1o.-At Kaska
William Colliery, near Midileport, last
evening" the cage containing ten miners
was ascending tho shaft, and had reached
q height Of about sixteen feet
from the bottom when an empty
car was pushed over the top
Of the shaft by two Hungarian labor
ers. The car struck the ascending cage
with awful momentum, shattering 1t to
splInters and instantly killing every one
Of Its occupants. The cage with the ten
victims was hurled into the 'sump,"a
hole in the bottom of the shaft where the
water from the workings accumulates,
and the mangled bodies were not recover.
ed for some time. The mine Is oper.
ated by the Alliance Coal Company. II
Is an old working, and the shaft Is 600 feet
deep. Boyle leaves widow and seven
children. II was not his turn to ascend,
but he exchanged with young man
name Hoolihan. Putlavisch leaves wid-
ow but no children. He was brother.
in.law Of Mrs. Putlavisch, who, with Ag.
mes Katch, was murdered about year ago
by Pietro Baranovskt, now awaiting exc.
cution here, and was the intended hus.
band of Miss Katch. All the others Of
the victims of the accident were single
men. The colliery employs about 500
hands. and Is also known as "Big Vein."
There is intense indignation over the EN-.
ployment Of stupid Hungarians in posi-.
tion of such responsibility as at the mouth
Of the shaft. There Is thirty. five feet Of
water in the 'sump," and the work of re.
covering the bodies Is very difficult. At
seven o'clock last night only one TO iy had
been recovered. No report has reached
here from the scene of the disaster since
that hour.
