A MINING DISASTER.
A Terrible Loss of Life from a Min
ing. Explosion in Pennsylvania,
FEARFUL MINING EXPLOSION.
A Mine Blows Up in Pennsylvania and
Kills Large Number of Employees

A Mine Blows Up in Pennsylvania and
Kills a Large Number of Employees.
PITTsBTRG, Jan. PA special from
Mt. Pleasant, Pa, says that gas ex-
ploslon in the mammoth shaft of the H.
9. Frick Coke Cos mine, about ten miles
from this place occurred sthis morning.
Between so and 80 men were in the
mine at the time of the explosion.
Eighteen bodies have been taken out.
1t is estimated that fifty men are killed.
1t is very difficult to get particulars of
the explosion although it occurred at
nine this morning.
The mines are about half way between
Latrobe and Mount Pleasant. The ma
chinery which runs the fans was not in
jured and plenty of fresh air was forced
into the mine to sustain the living and
allow rescuing parties to enter in safety
and bring out the bodies.
The mine is badly wrecked in places
and it is not possible to get an accurate
idea of the number living or injured
who may be burned or imprisoned.
There is no fire in the mine resulting
from the explosion.
1t is said that most of the killed are
either English speaking or German
miners. The shaft is about 100 feet
deep and has number of galleries.
The superintendent has organized re-
lief parties and is busily engaged in try
ing to penetrate the mine.

ANOTHER EXODUS.
Large Bodies of Negroes Moving To-

Large Bodies of Negroes Moving To-
wards Oklahoma.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan PA big ex-
odus of negroes from the state to Okla
homa has set in. Fifty families of
negroes left here yesterday for King
fisher, and they will be followed in a
few days by 200 families of negroes.
A Negro by the name of Foster from
Leavenworth, Kansas has been among
the Negroes here some time, working up
business. He represents to them that
they can obtain rich farming lands in
Oklahoma for almost nothing, and if
enough of them go they can secure
absolute control and government of the
territory. The latter seems to be the
principal inducement. A number OF
Negroes who owned good farms here
have sold out everything and will join
in the exodus.

A COWBOY DUEL.
Bad Men From Texas Bore Holes

Bad Men From Texas Bore Holes
Through Each Other.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 25.-Details of
a duel between cowboys at Lander have
been received, which show it to have
been a deliberately planned affair. One
of the cowboys goes by the name of Six
Shooter Billy and the other is called
Dab. Their trouble arose over game
of cards and they decided to settle it
with six-shooters. They adjourned to a
corral near the ranch buildings. Several
cowboys attempted to stop the fight but
without success. The men stood back
to back, then each walked fifteen steps
turned and commenced firing. Six
Shooter Billy was killed, four bullets
striking him before he fell. Dab was
shot three times, in the head, shoulder
and hip. He is lying at the ranch in a
dying condition. Both men are from
Texas, but their real names are not
known.

What Your Great grandmother DID.

She hetcheled the flax and carded the
wool, and wOve the linen, and spun the tow,
and made the clothes for her husband and
ten children. She made butter and cheese,
she dipped tallOw candles to light the house
at night, and she cooked all the food for her
household by an open fire place and a brick
oven. Yes; and when she was forty years
of age, she was already an old lady whose
best days were over. Her shoulders were
bent and her joints enlarged by hard work,
and she wore spectacles and cap. Her
great granddaughter, with all the modern
conveniences for comfort, refinement and
luxury, may be as charming and attractive
at fOrty-five as at twenty. Especially is this
true If she preserves her health and beauty
by the use of Dr. Pieroe's Favorite Prescrip-
ton which wards off all female ailments and
Irregularities, cures them If they already
exist, keeps the life currenC healthful and
vigorous, and enables the woman of middle
age to retain the freshness of girlhOod upon
brow and cheek, the light of youth in her
eyes, add its elasticity in her step. Sold by
all druggists.

HOW HE SECURED MANY ORDERS.
A Little Device That n Travelling Man Has
Put to q Practical Use.

They are cheap affairs-pasteboard
tubes, so weighted with quicksilver
as to make them roll end over end
when once started on slight incline.
They must cost so or 60 cents dozen.
and If a scientist or mechanic or even
a lawyer were asked of what practical
use they were he would have to give it
up.
But drummer travelling through
the Northwest has found use. He
walked into a hardware store in
Northwestern town day or two ago
and wanted to sell the proprietor some
ax-handles.
II can give you better for the money
than any one else." he said.
That's what they all say" returned
the proprietor.
But mean it." persisted the drum
mer. "Why we save all the cost of
transporting the wood to the mill, and
that lets us turn 'em out so much the
cheaper"
Float 'em DOWN."
80, no. That's expensive. Takes a
lot of men to get them to the river and
lot more to handle them coming
down. We've got better way. We
just stand log on end like this
illustrating with the pasteboard tube
and give it shove like this, and it just
turns end over end to the mill-and
then it stops leaning up against the
WALL" he added, as the tube stopped,
inclined at an angle of 40 degrees on
the frame of the showcase. DO get
your orderp I'll throw in the model
illustrating our system"
And such is the appreciation of a
gag" that he got the order without
further question.
do you know" he said, after the
business was settled, that that little
device has secured me eight or ten
orders this trip. If fool man he
almost invariably laughs. gives me an
order, and starts out to sell some one
else. I'm going to get up another
gag for my next trip-every one will
be onto this one by that time. How
did get this ideaP Why, it was an
accident. l bought the device for
amusement. and when l showed it to
the boss he suggested that if logs would
roll to the mill that way it would be a
