clean soil, pure air and pure sUoter,
mag bid defiance to cholera. There
fore the rule is imperative to search
for and abate all filthy nuisances.
Remove all decompOsing animal and
vegetable substances. Empty privy
vaults, and drench them with the So
luton of sulpate of iron (copperas).
Treat all cesspools and sink drains in
the same way. Ventilate rooms and
keep the cellar dry and well venti-
lated. Be sure there is no filthy
soakage into the we'll or other water
supply.
2. Never neglect the preliminary
diarrhBa. During this first stage the
disease is usually durable.
3. If possible burn all discharges
coming from the patient, as well as
all sOiled cloths or other articles
which are not too valuable.
4. If the discharges cannot be burn
ed, do not, upon any consideration,
throw them upon the ground or into
the privy vault. Have them passed
into a vessel containing several times
their own bulk of a saturated solution
of Sulphate of Iron, or of a solution of
Corrosive Sublimate Il part to 10000
and then poured into a deep, narrow
hole in the ground remote from all
buildings or water supply.
5. All soiled clothes from the cholera
patient, before or after death or recov-
cry, should be, as soon as possible,
enveloped in a sheet wet with the
Corrosive Sublimate solution, carried
to the laundry and boiled immedi-
ately.
s. Upon the death of a cholera pa
tient, the body should be immedi-
ately envelOped in sheet wet with
the Corrosive Sublimate solution, on
no account to be afterward opened,
and buried privately as soon as pos
sible.
Z. After death or recovery the room
should be fumigated thoroughly by
burning sulphur. After remaining
closed twenty-four hours thoroughly
ventilate, then tear off all paper and
burn it. Wash down the walls with
hot soapsuds. Then re-paint and re-

WRITTEN FOR THE p. c ADVERTISER

WRITTEN FOR THE P. c ADvERTIsER.)
tToday bid farewell to books,''
And leave the busy street;
To running brooks, and tiowery hooks
L run with eager feet.
Where ferny plumes, and radiant
blooms bedeck the mountain side,
And singing waters run and leap to
join the brimming tide.
l love the forest solitudes <I
Far from the human thrOng,
Where silence broods, in dewy woods
Save for the Warbled song.
Which birds wing, full thrOated sing,
as they fit to and fro;
And underneath the leafy crowns the
shadows come and go.
In Waiohuli's shining deeps
Below the mountain dome
A down the sleeps, the water leaps
In flakes of fretted foam.
In sylvan glades the white cascades
leap down the green abyss,
And anirous flowers hold up their lips
to catch the rivers kiss.
The wild hands swing across
The gorge above the brook,
The silken floss, of golden moss
Hangs in each shady nook.
By rivers edge the waving sedge, sings
sweet and sOleum tunes
And all the charmed air is filled with
mellow woodland runes.
The weird lauhala climbs the sleeps
Above the rivers brim,
Through forest keep, with rapid sweep
The light-wiDged singers skim.
In shadows cool above the pool in
widening circles swings
The dragon fly with rainbow dust
upon his silver wings.
By babbIing waters, drip of wells,
And pipe of woodland lutte,
And balmy smells, from dewy dells
Unstained by human foot,
In velvet coat, the brown moths float,
in sweetly scented bowers,
On laggard wings and deeply drink
from heavy laden flowers.
The light fades into purple glooms
Flecked DER with sunlight beams;
Ohia blooms, and golden plumes
Are mirrored in the streams.
Bright CLEANS of gold in wooded fold
the hau's bright blossoms crown
The forest arch; whence De vines in
crimson flames droop down.
Oh sweet it is In lazy moods
To stroll in trackless ways
In solitudes of dim-lit woods
And watch the sunset blaze,
Through trem' 'lous leaves its radiance
weave as the gold climbs up the
west,
The weary heart and brain from toll
finds here sweet peace and rest.

The last number on the pre- gra,n,n

erybody, of course, knew wha. that
| was to be. Old Ezra Bunker, in pow
dered wig and the uniform of Cont
mental army officer, and little Bessie
Powell, in the most becoming of Mar
tina Washington costumes. were to lend
realism to the scene by being actually
united in marriage, and the Methodist
minister of Posey Bend was to officiate.
In fiutter of expectation the audi
ence waited for the closing scene.
There was a delay. Maj. Thompson
and 1 were engaged in whispered
conversation when we became aware
of commotion on the platform be-
hind the curtain. The disturbance
quickly extended to the front rows of
the audience, and people began to
leave their seats and talk excitedly.
Maj. Thompson rose hurriedly and
strobe down the aisle. In a minute or
two he came back, his eyes bullying,
his jaws opening and closing rapidly
on his quid.
The devils to pay" he exclaimed,
Bessie Powell has disappeared!'
just then Squire Powell. who had
been cavorting about in high dudgeon
down near the stage, came running up
the aisle toward the street door shout
ing:
Its LATE Clayton! Stop him. Head
him off, somebody! Don't let him get
away! Where's the marshall"
Close upon the 'squire's heels came
old Ezra Bunker, in powdered wig and
uniform, lmping painfully and puff
ing.
AS of one accord the bewildered peo-
pie rose and began to push toward the
door. In a few moments they were
swarming out upon the street, Maj.
Thompson and among the rest.
We had scarcely reached the open
air when the swift clatter of horses
feet struck upon our ears, and mans
voice gave vent to shout full of tr.
umph and defiance. The next instant
horseman emerged from the darkness
and dashed through the light that IL

Maj. Thompson, evidently enjoying nv
show of interest. The bridegroom
old Ezry Bunker, the richest man in
the gas-belt, an the bride is Bessie
Powell, Squire Powelrs youngest girl.
They're to be married in the hall, an
after that have a sort OF reception at
the squire's house Ezry l,lnker's old
enough to be the girls father, too.
Seems like burnin' shame, cause they
say Bessie keers heap more fer LATE
Clayton's little finger than she does
fer Ezry Bunker an his million. Lafe's
a likely young Teller, an owns the best
farm in the county. But Ezry he's got
the money, an the 'squire's got his eye
on it, an wouldn't be bit s'prised eff
the girls pap's jes' natcherly forcin' her
to marry the old money-bags. That's
why say-hellov' broke off the major,
as he glanced out of the window, ''hyer
comes LATE this minute"
The door opened, and four or FIVE
heavily-booted men came stamping in.
The foremost was tall, athletic young
man, with red but rather handsome
face, a sandy mustache and pair of
frank blue eyes that twinkled with

''Howdy, MAORI exclaimed the
young man, breezily.
''Howdy, Lafe," returned the major.
rising. ''Howdy, boys" he added to the
other members of the party.
The newcomers contented them
selves with a curious glance In my di-
rection, and then followed the land
lord into an adjoining room, where the
thinking of glasses soon mingled
unsteady with loud, CHEEKY voices and
frequent explosions of laughter.
In few minutes the men came troop
ing out of the inner room and left the
house. Maj. Thompson resumed his
seat with the remark:
That's LATE Clayton-that-air san
accomplished Teller. LATE he'd been
keepin' company with Squire Powelrs
girl for nigh on to two year, an folks
lowed they'd hitch. shore. Mighty
likely sort of a boy, LATE is, an purity
well off, too, but nothin' like as rich as
old Ezry Bunker. That's why Ezry
gifts the girl, an, as say, it's dad

But your Mr.. Clayton seems to be
light-hearted enough" 1 suggested.

That's what gifts me-" confessed the
major, with puzzled look. It's been
the talk O. the neighborhood that
LATE was dead in love with the girl,
an that she thought powerful sight
of him. an we lowed the pore boy 'ud
jes' natcherly pine away eff he had to

to town to-day at all, but he tells me
he's goin' to be at the doin's tonight

chaps-Paul Revere, b'lieve he said

finest boss in the county, an he's
goin' to take that boss right into the
hall an on the platform, and play like
he was this Teller Paul Revere asset

THE CLOSING PICTURE.

hall. It was a sing1e-story building,
the hall being on a level with the
street, and at one period in the history
of Posey Bend had done duty as court
house. That was before the county
seat had been removed to a more
flourishing town. 1 was entertained
by Judge Ganderbuck's tribute to the
eagle, and joined Justify in the singing
'of America" THE S.ar Spangled
Banner" and 1.-The Battle Hymn of the
Republic"
But whaG interested me most was a
sight OF Bessie Powell. who was there
with her father, the squire. was sur
prised to find her pretty girl, petite
of form, with dark eyes and a ravish-
ing smile, and without the faintest
suggestion of the coarse country maid
en- in her appearance or manner. L be-
gan to feel something of Mai. Thomp-
sons indignation that so charming a
creature should be compelled to marry
an ugly old ogre for his money.
That night Maj. Thompson and went
to the entertainment, and sat together
during the performance. The ball was
crowded, for many people had come in
from the surrounding country to see
the exhibition" and particularly to
attend the wedding of Squire Powells
daughter.
The entertainment was a series OF
pictures presented by men and women
clad in the costumes of revolutionary
times. Upon the whole it was a very
creditable affair, and l was not sur
prised to learn that Bessie Powell had
been the leading spirit in designing
the tableaux and wardrobcs. George
Washington and his associates figured
in the majority of the pictures, but one
of the best of the series was Paul
Revere's Ride" represented by LATE
Clayton correctly dressed and equipped
for the part, sitting on 4 handsome
black horse, one arm extended toward
a group of men. women and children
as if in the act of warning them of the
approach of the British. Man and
horse were as motionless as If carved
| in stone, and when the curtain was
drawn the audience demonstrated its
approval in vociferous applause.

Isaac Pussy Gray was born in Ches-
ter county, Pa, October Is, 1928. His
ancestors We're all Quakers. In 1885 his
parents moved to Urbana, O., and af-
forwards to Darlle county, where
both died. In 1855 he moved to Union
City, Ind. He was colonel of the Fourth
Indiana cavalry during the civil war.
In 500 he was a candidate for the
nomination for congress on the repub
lican ticket a nd was defeated in the
primaries by George w. Julian. In 1868
he was elected to the state senate, and
remained member of that body for
four years. In 1870 he was rendered
the consulate at ST. Thomas. in the
West Indies, but declined the posi-
ton. He was delegate-at-large to
the liberal republican convention that
met in Cincinnati in 1872, and was APP
pointed by the convention member for
Indiana of the national committee.
His name was placed before the demo-
cratic state convention in 1872 for
t-larse, and in 1874 for
attorney general, but was both times
withdrawn at his request. In 1876 he
was chosen by reclamation by the dem
ocratic convention for lieutenant-gov-
ernor, and ran with James d. Will
liams, Familiarity known as blue
Jeans" Williams, and was elected with
the latter, who defeated Ben amin
Harrison for governor in that year.
Upon the death of Gov. Williams,
Gray became governor. In 1850 he was
again nominated for the same position,
but was defeated at the polls. In that
with nh T.an1arS u
feated by Porter and Hanna on the re-
publican ticket
In 1884 Gray received two-thirds
of the delegates votes in the
democratic state convention for gov
ernor, and made the race against ex-
Congressman Calkins. In that year
his plurality in the state was 1892,
while that of Cleveland was but 6, 572.
In 1880, when he was defeated with
Landers, he was beaten by only Alto,
while Landers was defeated by plu-
rality of 6,953.
Since the expiration of his term of
office in 1888 he has been the recognized
leader of the democratic party in this
state, and in 1892 was prominently
mentioned in connection with the
gubernational nomination of the party,
but his name was not presented to the
convention. In that year he was
spoken of by members of his party in
this state as a possible candidate for
the presidency, but went to st. Louis as
an avowed candidate for the vice-presi-
dency.
In 1892 he was again mentioned in
connection with the presidency, and
two factions in the party were worked
up on account of this. One was the
Cleveland and the other the Gray fac
ton. The war between the factions
was very bitter for time, but before
the meeting of the convention Gray
had become an avowed candidate for
the tail of the ticket, and his friends
sought only this honor for him
in the convention. After the
election of Cleveland it was conceded
that Gray would receive some good
foreign mission or other rich plum in
the power of the president to bestow.
He was appointed minister to Mexico
and Immediately left for the City of
Mexico to take the position and has
been back to this city, his home, twice
since his appointment.

COAL MINE DISASTER.

Terrific Explosion In Coal Mine at Odin,
Ill, with Two Hundred Men In the Drifts
Nine of Them were Terribly Eurneos
Some of Whom Will Die.
CARLYLE, I'LL, Feb. ia terrible
mine explosion occurred at the Odin
coal mine, Is miles east of this city,
Friday. TIE force of the conclusion
was felt throughout town. 1t was fol-
lowed by deafening report. The en-
gineer at the mine had gone home to
dinner when the explosion occurred,
and it was half an hour before any aid
could be sent to the 200 miners entombed
in the bowels of the earth. Immediately
after the explosion the mine caught
fire and smoke rolled out from the
shaft as if issuing from a huge smoke
stack. The residents of the town had
been apprised of what had occurred,
and soon the wives. daughters, moth
ers, brothers and fathers of the miners
began to congregate about the shaft OF
the mine. Still no engineer came. The
women became frantic, many fainting
on the spot.
In the meantime the men below were
nearly suffocated with smoke, and it
was decidedly great relief to them to
see the cage move on it's upward trip
One hundred and seventy of the men
were rescued by the citizens ana the
miners fellow-workmen at the peril of
their lives. The fire still continued un-
abated. and the remaining thirty men
in the mine were given up for lost.
These men were almost dying from suf-
location in the bottom of the mine. but
by a special act of Providence it seems
the fire died out.
A searching party was sent immedi-
ately to the bottom. There they found
the miners lying here and there uncon-
scious and nearly dead. They were
piled up like cordwood on the cages
and quickly as possible raised to the
top of the shaft, where they slowly
regained consciousness.
The cause of the accident was a pre-
mature blast in a room in the mine be-
ing worked by Luther Weingartner.
The blast ignited twenty-five-pound
key of powder, which exploded with
terrific effect. The mine in the imme-
date vicinity was torn up in terrible
manner, and the twenty-five miners
working in the same room certainly
had miraculous escape from death.
A relief train from Centralia carried
several surgeons. 1t will be several
days before the mine can resume
operations. Thirty miners were in
jured in all. Those most seriously
hurt are:
Luther Weingartner, burnt about
head and face; has a large family; can
not live.
John Tadlock and son are both
burnt about the head and body; little
hopes of recovery; he also has a large
family.
John Link, aged IS years, severely
burnt about" body; will probably re-
cover.
Albert Little, aged II years, nearly
suffocated and badly burned; will re-
cover.
James Smith, single, aged 25, burned
about face and hands; recovery doubt
full.
Rodman Eubanks, aged 25, married,
badly burned; may recover.
Albert Jacobs, aged "a, married, seri-
ously burned and may not recover.
An unknown man, aged so years, and
another one, aged about So, are also
fatally burned and can not live. This
is as full list of the injured as could
be secured. It is feared some have per-
iShed in the mine

There are strong reasons to conclude
that he was devout Christian. In
boyhood he wrote religious sentiments;
he had religious services in his camp;

a Snow Carnival in New Orleans-The
Heaviest Fall In Forty-Five Years.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 16.-Not since
the winter of 1850 have such sights
been witnessed as those seen in this
city Thursday evening. From II a. m.
the snow had been falling heavily, and
as the foundation was good it formed
over eight inches deep in the city
streets, with drifts much deeper in
the outskirts. BY evening all the
electrician lines were blocked,
and most of the other routes, forcing
business men in many instances to
trudge home miles through the deep
snow. On Canal street and the main
thoroughfares SNOWFALL carnival was
in progress all day, and hotels, club
and store windows were full of sight
seekers taking in the unwonted specta-
Gle. Improvised sleighs hastily put to-
gether on boards ran the gauntlet of a
snow fusillade as they passed the cheer
ing, shouting crowds.
