One Hundred Pounds of Giant Powder
ExpIOdes in Arizona.

PRESCOTT, Ariz, April 3.-One hun
dred pounds of giant powder exploded
in the Ohio mine of the Mescal Mining
and Milling Co. late yesterday after
noon. The mine is located miles
from Prescott, and the particulars are
very meager, as the courier left imme-
diately after the explosion to secure
medical aid for the five men who
were working in the drift where
the powder was stored. Three
men had been rescued seriously
injured, James Newlin, the foreman
of the mine, being the most seriously in
jured. The explosion caused cave of
100 or more tons and whether the other
two men were killed and buried be-
meath the debris or in the drift behind
the cavern of rock could not be de-
termined when the messenger left.
The miners set at work Immediately to
remove the rock from the drift to reach
the imprisoned or buried men.

THE "CHAIN'' sWINDLE.
How People are Worked for Ten Cents
for a Church Fund.

How People are Worked for Ten Cents
for Church Fund.
VANCOUVER. B. c., April 3-Another
'Chain" swindle has just been unearthed
here. A young man named Al jackson
living in South Vancouver, suburb of
this city, sent a number of circulars 10
persons in eastern Canada asking them
to send him ten cents to assist in building
a church and to continue the chain by
writing two similar letters to other per-
sons.
jackson described himself as secretary
of the Lawndale Relief association and
set forth that people in that settlement
were very poor, their property having
been damaged by the recent Frazer river
floods.
One of the circulars was sent to Rev.
Ar. Thompson, a Methodist minister in
the neighborhood and he handed the
matter to the police. They visited Lawn
dale and found it to be "boom town
site" in the bush, the town consisting of
just two shacks, one occupied by jackson
and the other by Chinaman. Jackson
confessed to having been the author of
the letters and having obtained money
for himself, stating that the story of the
noted stamp chain had suggested the
scheme. The postmaster says he has re-
ceived a heavy mail for some time past
and large number of persons are be-
lieved to have been victimized.

Saloons Being the Issue.
OMAHA, Neb., April 3.-Specials from
all parts of the state on municipal
elections show that party lines have
not been drawn in municipal elections
in Nebraska in many cases. but when
they were the repu blicans gained, ex-
cept at Hastings and Plattsmouth,
where the democrats carried the
day. The question of granting
saloon licenses was the leading
issue and was favored in four-fifths of
the towns. Frank Graham (rep.) was
elected mayor of Lincoln by large
majority. The vote was heavy, with
no striking features. The populists
showed no strength where they had
tickets up.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll Of the nerve centers, located in near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deFanged. When it is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis Of the body below
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, 1t will be understood how
the arrangement of the nerve centerS Will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TWO-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centefS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated Spe-
cialist, has profoundly studied this subject for
over 20 years, and has made many important
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods of
treatment are wrong. All headache, dfzzI-
ness, dizziness, confusion, pressure, blues
mania, melancholy. insanity, epilepsy, st.
VituS dance, etc, are nervous diseases no
matter how caused. The wonderful success of

fact that it is based on thu foregoing principle.
