steadily increasing. Why should foreign
workmen want to come to the United
Ste tes under such circumstances Hence
so far as lowering wages and stopping i'm
migration in that way is concerned the
Wilson bill is accomplishing what was
promised of it,
IL is doubtful, however, If American
workmen will approve that way Of stop
ping immigration. And as a business
proposition it will hardly strike the pub
lie favorably. Sending vast millions Of
money abroad to pay for goods which
could be manufactured ut home is not a
satisfactory manner of excluding immi-
grants, especially when at the same time
wages in this country are lowered.

AN examination CT the field at Egypt,
n. c., where coal has been mined many
years in small quantities shows that there
is enough coal there to last 100 years with
an annual production of 1000 tons This
is fortunate discovery for that state, for
the deposit lies right in the heart of North
Carolina, and is easily accessible. What
is more, the district is rich in red clay,
suitable for brick of superior quality, and
is in the heart of fine cotton raising
district This means that in the develop
ment of the coal fields, which is now to
be pushed by experienced parties, there
will grow up cotton and other industries,
for building will be cheap, lumber and
brick being in abundance, while coal is
right at the door. This development will
be of greatest Importance to that section
of the state

THE Rush EOR HOMES.


OKLAHOMA CITY, o. r., May %. The
Kickapoo country, which will be opened
60 the white settlement tomorrow noon,
is full of "sooners," and more are going
there every day. They are very bold in
their stand, and there can be no doubt
that the move of the "sooners' will be
practiced on all sides. The news of the
presidents proclamation has just pone-
trated beyond the towns on the railroads
In inluud towns and on farms are many
people who have boon waiting for the
opening of the Kickapoo lands, and they
hardly received The news in time to get
ready by tomorrow.
The people of Chandler and Tecumseh,
who several times during the past two
months were fooled by couriers riding
into town with the announcement that
the KickapoO country was open TO settle
ment, and rushed into the reservation and
sta1od off claims, have discovered that
under a strict construction Of the sooner"
act of 1889 every man who went on these
false alarm runs is sooner" and barred
from taking land. They have found that
an organization of the old KiclSapoo
boomers, who have been camped on the
line for years, have all of their names,
the date Of the runs and the location of the
claim, each one staked to be used in prov
ing them "sooners, and the false alarms
was little scheme of the old timers to
shut off much competition in the real
opening There is much bad feeling over
the matter, and there may be trouble to-
morrow

THREW AWAY THEBELT
Mr.. VIM. Thornton OF 127 w. Market
Street Explains How and
Why He Did 1t.
(From the Elmira Gaaette)

Old age has many infrmities, none Of
which are emoreaprevalent than kidney dis
orders. Have you ever noticed how the
old people complain of bnckache lame
back, and general listlessnessP And there
are many other symptoms of which thew
do not speak, such as bloating of the
limbs, painful and infrequent urination
or excessiveness of urinary discharge.
Most people think they are too old to
find relief and cure, but this is not
so. No better evidence than the follow.
ing, which comes from an Elmira citizen,
who has been cured of a very severe case
at " years Of age. Mr.. VIM. Thornton of
127 West Market Street, speaks of his case
in this way: II am N years old. l have
been afflicted with that dreaded complaint

ing my old age burden. / was so bad
as to be forced to carry belt at all times,
and, when my suffering became beyond
endurance, | would put on the belt draw
ing 1t tightly around me and buckle it,
thus bringing an extreme pressure over the
Kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the
urine out, function which the kidneys
themselves had become too diseased to per
form. My condition l put down to
strain | received | began taking Doans
Kidney Pills. After two or three DAYS |
noticed their effect, l was much surprised,
as the ailment was SO severe and so long
standing, while had tried many remedies
without any relief whatever. The pain 1
have experienced at times from straining
in my efforts to discharge the urine was
simply awful. l have done away with
the use of my leather belt, and the pain
has all gone, and recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to all afflicted with kidney
end urinary disorders.

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
Probably Caused by Dropping
Can Of Nitro-Glyoerine.
FOURTEEN INSTANTLY KILLED.

The Fatal CareIessness of a Pole in a West
Virginia Coal Mine Results in the Death
of Four Men by sufrocation-six Others
Seriously Injured.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 22.-A terrific re-
port ard conclusion, which was distinctly
(alt all through the cities and towns around
the bay for distance of forty miles yes
terday, was at first believed to have been
caused by an earthquake, but proved to be
an explosion in the nitro-glycerine houses
of the California Powder works at Plnola,
across the bay. The crew at the glycerine
house, four in number, and the foreman
ut the mixing house, were all killed, as
well as nine Chinese working in the lat
ter department..
The explosion occurred in the nitro
glycerine house and was probably caused
by the Chinese dropping can of the ex-
plosive. The cause cannot be definitely
ascertained, however, as all connected
with the building are dead. There were
zoo Chinese in the adjacent mixing room,
and at the sound of the explosion all ran,
The force of the explosion was tremen-
dous. Huge pieces of wood were thrown
into the bay distance of half mile, and
nitro glycerine tanks were hurled dis
tance of five hundred yards. Hands, legs
and other parts of the mutilated remains
of the dead were scattered along the road
for mile.
The nitro-glycerine house first went up
then the mixing store house and gun cot
ton house followed. The nitro glycerine
house, of which not a vestage remains, was
three story frame structure, 120 by 90
feet 1t contained 5000 pounds of nitro
glycerine and 1900 pounds of Hercules
powder.
A remarkable feature of the explosion is
that, although the store house, containing
/ 900 pounds of Hercules powder is com
pletely wrecked, its contents are intact.
In all 10, 600 pounds of explosives went up
with a roar and a sheet CT flames.
The dead are: Clarence johnson, fore
man of glycerine house; ID. A. Daone, of
Pinola; NJ Minnahon, of Oakland; G.
Veiegas, of Martinez; w. d. Taylor, fore
man of mixing house; nine Chinese

DIR. ANDREW WILSON, of London, says
that the order of violets, mignonette, tube
roses and heliotrope is injurious to the
voice. Vocalists are especially susceptible
to the scent of the flowers. Violets are
said to be the worst in their effect. The
odorous particles from the flowers seem to
irritate the vocal organs, sometimes ut
terly destroying them as far as their
power to produce musical sounds is con.
cerned.

A Poles CareIessness Kills Four Men by
Suflncation.
WHEELING, w. Va, May 22.-The first
reports of disastrous explosion at the
Monongah mine, near Fairmont, yes
terday, were wildly exaggerated, and a
number of very sensational stories have
been sent out over the country. The exact
faces are as follows:
At 1890 o'clock a Pole carelessly ig-
nited can of powder in mine No of the
Monongah Coal and Coke company, and a
terrific explosion followed The accident
occurred in the main air course leading to
mine No. 2, about 500 feet from the mouth
of mine No. 4 and the smoke was thus
driven through the different parts of the
mine, suffocating four miners. Quite a
number Of others were seriously but not
fatally affected by the smoke.
The dead are: G. l.. Bertcher, an old
man, who leaves large family William
Shaver, aged 10; Luke Verika and An
drew Dunloe. The last two are foreigners.
The injured are: Harry Leaper, Frank
Floyd James Burcher, William Jones and
Antonio Zieska.
All the dead and injured were taken out
of the mine Immediately after the acci-
dent. The injured will all recover.
AS soon as the powder smoke cleared
away it was found that no damage had
been done to the mine, SC that work will
not be interrupted. 1t is definitely known
that the explosion was caused by powder,
and not by gas or fire damp, as previously
reported.
Mine Inspector D. M. Har is on tho
ground, and is making an investigation.
The Monongah mines are the principal
works in the Upper Monongahela coal
field, and the company is headed by ex-
| United States SenStor Camden.
