scorned the Mining stock.

About two weeks. ago a miner offered
Morris Yenzel, Moscow, Idaho, tailor,
handful of mining stocks for suit OF
clothes. Yenzei refused and said that five
years ago miner gave him 5000 shares Of
stock, then supposed TO be worth cent
share, for suit of clothing He never
realized anything on the stock. A few
days later YenzeI went to the suspended
Moscow National Bank for an insurance
policy and some other papers deposited
there, among which he found the missing
5 900 shares OF Leroi stock, now quoted at
S8 per share. with accrued dividends. The
Leroi mine owners have been negotiating
with English syndicate for the sale of
the property, but the latter declined to ac-
cept the mine without the transfer of every
share of stock so far issued. This lot
of 900 was long advertised for, but now
there will be no obstacle to the sale OF the
property if the owners come to Yenzel's
terms He demands $50 a share, or $780,
900 for the whole, and will probably get it.

Boston, March Am explosion has Just
occurred in the subway excavation at the
corner of fremont and Boylston streets.
Three electric cars that were passing
at the time were wrecked and one of
them was burned. Several buildingsin the
vicinity were more or less damaged.
The explosion was caused by escaping
gas.
Among the buildings damaged are the
Hotel Pelham, the KnickerbocSer and
Head buildings and the Masonic Temple.

feet of the scene of the explosion were
shattered
AT least twelve persons were killed.
Four bodies have been removed to un-
dertaking rooms.
Forty-two persons are at the Emergency
Hospital
Among the dead are:
Rev W A Slack, professor at Tufts Col

Unknown man and won an.
The injuredinclude james Reardon. John
]. O'Conuor, Thomas F. Ford, Mrs. j. r.
Wilson, Nellie Jackson, Lucy Dolan, F.
W. feeling, and Mrs. F. A. Peck
There seems to be no doubt that atleast
eight persons were Immediately killed
The explosion came Just as the street cars
were almost in the center of the space at
the corner.
The first car was in the center when the
explosion came. The whole of the wood
work, which is used as bridge over the
subway, was lifted into the air, carrying
the first car with il and taking along the
two horses Of the second car. The other
vehicles were lifted straight into the air,
but came down on the tracks. Instantly
the air was filled with flying debris.
The first electric car, the one in which
most OF the killed were riding, no sooner
reached the track than il broke in half,
and the whole portion Immediately burst
into flame. Then someone sounded fire
alarm. This brought a large rescue force
to the scene, and almost Immediately calls
were being sent out hurrietily Tor the am
balances.
1t was an awful sight that met the gaze
of those who were first on the scene. In
the center was the long blazing electric
car. Close beside this were the bodies OF
the two horses killed instantly, and about
ten, twenty, thirty feet away from where
the woodwork OF the car was blazing lay
the dead and wounded people Those who
were not injured in the cars ON Boylston
street were incapable of action
at first, and people in the buildings and
stores surrounding did not know what had
occurred, but it did not take them long
to secure their senses, and almost imme-
diately there was rush to the assistance
OF the wounded.
1t is stated that there was not person
on the three cars who was not injured, and
all the wounds received were severe. I'm
mediately stores and offices were con-
verted into temporary hospitals until am
balances could arrive. 1t was a gruesome
spectacle to see these bodies exposed on
the sidewalks.
Hose carriages were pressed into service
as ambulances, and Immediately they were
started on their humane duty of getting the
MANNED to the hospitals.

policeman, who, in his bravery in stopping
q runaway horse, won the iady's affec-
tlons and large part OF her estate, which
she has made over to him since he became
her husband If love at first sight was on
the lady's side only, she took practical
and, from generally understood principles,
a polite way Of winning return OF affec-
ton. In hanson she was in the habit
of following the brave policeman over his
beat with a supply Of provisions TO re-
fresh him. When she was not able to per
form the labor Of love, servant took her
place. All this, much to the delight Of the

To cure insomnia quick.

A Swedish servant maid, finding that
her mistress was troubled with sleepless-
ness, told her of practice of the people
of her country who were similarly af-
flicted 1t was to take a napkin. dip it in
ice cold water, wiring ft slightly and lay
it across her eyes. The plan was followed
and it worked ike charm. The first
night the lady slept four hours without
awaki ng-something she had not done
before for several months. AT the end OF
that time the napkin had become dry.
BY wetting it again she at once went to
sleep and it required considerable force
to rouse her in the morning.

BREAKING UP POKER GAMES

For a month or so past the good wives
OF Riley, Ind. and vicinity have noticed
that their husbands were spending an
unusual number OF evenings away from
home. Quiet investigation revealed that
the men on such occasions were EN-
ployed in play ing poker. This was state
of things not to be endured and the women
folks decided on reformatOry measures.
A Mrs. Baker volunteered TO make the
first move. TIE next night her husband
stayed away from home she suddenly
called at the room and, figuratively speak
ing, led her husband home by the ear.
Next night Mrs william Jones called
at the room. She was denied admittance
when she knocked at the door, but, having
anticipated this, she had prepared for
forcibIe entrance. She had with her a
hatchet. and it was but a moment until
she had the door off its hinges. The
husband was there and he meekly accom-
panied his wife home.
A couple Of evenings later Mrs. Brown,
in the same township, received her hus-
band with menacing gestures when he
came home late with some companions.
The next day ne was not seen and the
next he failed to appear at his work about
his farm. Some Of his friends, who were
apprehensive that he Rad been severely
dealt with, sent delegation TO the house,
but they met the wife at the door and
she sent them off with a warning TO keep
away from her house and her husband.
A few days later, the captured husband
still failing to appear, some of his fliends
came to the city to consult the prose
cutting attorney about legal proceedings
for his rescue. Nothing was done. how
ever, and in a day or two Brown was
again at work on the farm He hasn't
been ''out at nights since, and the mar
ried men of the neighbOThCOd have about
concluded that the seductive game must
be given the go-by for a time at least.

loaded with Amendments.

The general deficiency bill viii fail to
become law. This was conceded this
morning by the conferees on the part OF
both Houses, when, at 9:45, il was de-
cided TO make a disagreeing report.
This bill contains q great many items,
but none OF them is so important from a
public standpoint that unusual efforts
should be made TO press the bill through.
IL was loaded heavily in the Senate at
the last moment, about $500 900 Of mis-
cellaneous claims being added and an
other sum OF like amount grouped under
the Bowman act.
The only item that inconvenience the
public is the deficiency for the collection
OF customs, and the conferees agreed this
morning that this should be taken care OF
by Joint resolution at the extra session.
All the other appropriation bills are now
out OF the way and in the hands OF the
President. The sundry civil bill was en-
rolled at Z O'Clock this morning, and was
