Little Yes Learned of the Krebbs Dis
astsy-Ten Corpses Removed.
South McALEsTER. |. T.. Jan. o.
News Of the mine disaster In the Usage
mine at Krebbs, thirty-five miles east of
here, is coming in very slowly. 1t is
learned that at the time Of the explosion
nearly $50 men were in the shaft. Most
of them had stopped work for the day
and were waiting their turn to ride ont
in the cages. They had congregated
near the bottom of the shaft, and that
locality is completely jammed with dead
bodies. 1t is stated that eighty five men
succeeded in reaching the open air by
means of an abandoned tunnel. About
forty miners were rescued by lowering
of buckets at the hands of the rescuing
party outside the shaft. AT daylight
ten dead bodies were carried to the sur
face. They were SO badly bruised and
blackened as to be scarcely recognizable.
The mouth of the pit is surrounded
by a crowd OF men, women and chill
dren, nearly all Of whom have relatives
in the mine. Their grief is pitiable and
their prayers and cries are agonizing as
they beseach the rescuing party to in
crease their efforts to save their loved
ones. OF the eighty-tive men who
reached safety by means of the old tun-
mel, over half of them received injuries
more or less serious, many of them be-
ing badly bruised, and some of them
will not recover. 1t is believed that the
explosion was caused by firing shot
when the mine was partially filed with
gas.
At the present writing 223 miners are
unaccounted for. OF this number it is
believed that nearly one hundred, and
perhaps more are already dead. Little
can be learned owing to the great ex-
citement at the scene of the disaster and
the distance from any telegraph Office.
Many Rescued.
ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 9.--Mr. w. Farnham,
vice president of the Usage Mining COM
pany, in whose mine at Krebs, I. T.,
the explosion secured, has just re-
cciyed a telegram from the superintend-
ent of the mine. The dispatch was
dated 8 o'clocka. m, aid says at that
hour las miners had been rescued.
The men were greatly exhausted and
some of them were unconscious. but re-
vived after reaching the air. The tele-
gram did not state how many men were
killed nor how many were still en-
tombed in the mine. Mr.. Farnham
says the miners were all white men and
many had large families. Everything
possible will be done to relieve the dis
tress of their afflicted families.

THE STEVENS COUNTY WAR.
NO New Developments Yet But Thers
Soon May BE.


Soon May BE.
ARKALoN, Kan, Jan. 9.-Acting un-
der instructions of the governor the
troops have been consolidated at Spring
field The company at this point, TAX
ing the FIVE prisoners now held under
arrest, marched over before noon. The
civil authorities at first made strong
objections to the removal of the prison
ers, but when General Roberts proposed
turning them over to the deputy sher-
ifs and 60 without them, the objections
were suddenly withdrawn. They still
claim that it would be unsafe to bring
them all back through the cafaons for
preliminary examination. 1t is likely,
however, that all parties viii consent to
accused choosing one and the prosecu-
ton the other, the Springfield justice
sitting as chief. The trouble has been
that the prosecution desired the accused
examined by the justice in this place,
where they would surely be held for
trial. The accused desired the examina-
ton at Springfield where they would

interest has been the real cause for
the fear of rescue. The entire
people are much excited and it
would take little to cause vio-
lence. Anticipating the trouble
that may come when more promi-
nent men than those now under arrest
are brought in another company has
been ordered to hold itself in readiness
to move, and the Wichita company is
now uslder arms at Springfield, and has
six parties out aiding the sheriff in
making arrests, and by night dozen or
more will be added to those now held.
In the meantime court has not been
opened yet by Judge Botkin and the
governor desires an explanation.
Judge Botkin is still absent from the
district and If he should remain away
the trouble would soon be over. The
hatred of one faction appears to be all
directed against the judge, even going
80 far as to>threaten him with assassina-
ton if he attempts to hold court in eth
er OF the five counties of Seward, Stew
ems. Morton, Haskell and Grant.

New YORK, Aug. 10-In the house of
commons yesterday, Gladstone began
his speech against the government. He
said the government had departed from
precedents in not resigning when the
verdict of the country was against them.
The house had now met, but what for?
The queens speech told them nothing.
Was the house of commons to fight the
battles of the last six years over again?
Never had a great issue submitted to
the country been so fully discussed as the
issue decided at the last enthusiastic
general election. Turning to the matter
of home rule, amid loud cheers from the
Irish members, Gladstone said the
claims of Ireland had been for years the
forefront of the battle, and that the
position he held, and the principle of his
home-rule bill were pretty well known.
BY the provisions there would be a full
and effectual maintainance of imperial
supremacy, while ireland would be giv-
en- conduct of her own affairs He en-
tertained no doubt about the duty of the
liberal government in the event of reiec-
tion of the home-rule bill. Its rejection
would not terminate their duty. Bal
four followed Gladstone in speech.

News.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 10.-June lst
Paul Rehm and August Hermanos,
natives of Germany, who have been en-
ployed as mechanics in the Guaymas
railway shops in Mexico, left here to re-
visit their native village in Germany.
When they reached New York, they re-
ceiyed letters from home urging them to
return to Mexico. and warning them
that they would surely be arrested un-
der the conscript laws, and becompelled
to perform military service. Rehm,
however, decided to take his chances,
and started for home, after having adj
yised his mother that he would remain
at home only one night. In letter
from Saxony it appears that Rehm pas
-sed through Belgium on his way to his
native town. Arriving there at mid
night, he remained until four o'clock in
the morning conversingz with his aged
mother, and then left at once for the
Belgian frontier. but was arrested on the
train when only a few miles from the
border. The offense charged against
him was for avoiding Germany military
service

Bandits attend church.

PIrrsBuRG, Aug. 10.-When the posse
on track of the Cooley bandits were in
formed that the gang attended church at
Smithfield Sunday night they were al
most paralyzed. The gang boldly rode
up to the church door, hitched their
horses, and entered the sanctuary as
calmly as the oldest members They
wore their belts with revoIvers displayed,
but carried no guns. AS they sat on
each side of the door they were recog-
nized by dozens of the members who
knew them by sight, but the terrified
congregation were too timorous to go out
past the bandits and give the alarm.
No more outwardly devout than the out
laws on the back seat could be found
among the members, and when the con-
tribution.box was circulated they all
chipped in. While the. congregation
sang the Doxology, the outlaws slipped
out, mounted and rode off, yelling like
Indians. No attempt was made to ar
rest them.

Trout Creek opais.

Prineville News. Within the last
few days valuable discovery has been
made by Hoskins Bros. & Co., on the
headwaters of Trout creek, in the form
of an immense deposit of opals of the
finest quality. They are said to excel
the opals- of the far-famed Mexican
mine. They are found in formation
peculiar to the opal, topaz, agate and
amethyst, and this mine shows them in
their greatest perfection. The forma-
ton is Geode, in nodules, the interior
OF which contains the gems. Hoskins
Bros. are experienced miners for pre-
cious stones, and they feel highly
elated over their discovery. Work of
development will begin at the mine i'm
mediately and arrangements will be
made by which the lapidary art may be
applied to the stones of the mine.
These gentlemen also have interests in
the Morrow county opal fields, which
have attracted considerable attention
during the past two years.

The scene OF the sixties.

Long Creek Eagle. The Sloan & Has
kell mine on Elk creek would now re-
mind one of the scene of the COS. When
they reached the spot where o. G.
Cresap had taken out pile of gold in
the early days they were compelled to
move their entire apparatus to some dis
tant spot up the creek. While this
task is being performed they have put
their force at drifting in the old claim
formerly worked by Mr.. Cresap, in
which it is believed there is unknown
quantities of gold yet. 1t will require
the remainder of the season before they
will be prepared to run the hydraulic,
therefore force of men will be kept at
work drifting the remainder of the year.

Has the Merit OF novelty.

Union-Journal. The East Oregonian
wants law enacted providing that coun-
ties can issue scrip in denominational
amounts Of from one to twenty dollars,
bearing eight per cent. 1t argues that
this would giEe the people that inflated
currency they SO much desire. Draw
ing interest, as they would, there would
not be an overplus, because as the silver
mounted up, the scrip would be with
drawn from circulation and held as an
investment. This wonld keep all script
at par, while enough would be lost or
destroyed to reimburse the county for
the interest paid out. on the balance 1t
is offered by the E. o., as the greatest
cure for our present financial system. 1t
has the merit of novelty, at any rate.

Eagle. The company OF Portland
parties interested with Jack Powers in
his mine on Greenhorn have made ar
rangements to run another three thous-
and foot tunnel. at which time. when
completed their developments will ag-
gregate about $50, 900. They will then
put up the proper machinery to reduce
their ore. Chas. Miller, who owns the
Monumental mill, is at present engaged
hauling ore from his mine to the mill.
This is a portion OF the ore which was
taken out last winter, and which he
could not transport to the mill last fall
owing to the great amount of snow, and
unbroken condition of the roads. He
will start his mill as soon as there is
enough ore on hand to warrant SUCH
Walla Walla and Pendieton parties can
be found on all parts of the Greenhorn
mountain working assessments on their
newly discovered .property.

When anything stands the test of fifty
years among discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere. The value of a
medicine is best proved by its continued use
from year to year by the same persons and
families, as well as by steady increasing
sale. Few, if any, medicines have met with
such continued success and popularity as has
marked the introduction and progress Of
Brandreth's Pills, which, after a trial of over
fifty years, are conceded to be the safest and
most effective purgative and blood purafer
introduced to the public, That this is the
result of merit, and that Brandreth's Pills
actually perform all that is claimed for them,
is conclusively proved by the fact that those
who regard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them the longest.
Brandreth's Pills are sold in every drug
and medicine store, either plain or sugar
coated
