MINERS HURT.
Accident at Kennebeck Injuries
Two Miners.

John P. Bell and John Paul were
very severely injured in the Kenne-
beck mine, owned by Andy Love, at
noon. Bell is still unconscious.
Noon is the time for the firing of
the shots and Bell, having arrange
ments with Hez Fielding, of Mucha-
KNOCK, to go into his room and fire a
shot for him that had been prepared,
went to do as he had agreed. He was
accompanied by Paul The shot was
what is technically known as a
windy; that is, it is blown out in
place of dislodging the coal from the
face. The shot was very severe and
both the men were knocked down and
rendered unconscious. They were
very badly burned about the face and
hands and have other injuries. The
conclusion of the shot was felt in
every part of the mine and the force
of it put out all the lights in the mine.
DIR. Coveny was called and has the
cases in charge.

Crushed to Death y

The need of new engines by the
Iowa Central is shown in the fact that
load after load has absolutely had to
be refused from other lines just be-
cause the company did not have the
necessary power to move them. Ten
hundred and eighteen loads of mer-
chandise, coal, etc., were on the line
Christmas eve, with no power, and
night or two ago a like condition pre-
vailed with II 100 loads unmovable.
The companyshas more engines now
than it ever had-larger and better
ones, in fact-but business is better
than it ever was before, and there
fore more power is needed.

MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE.
Proceedings of the Lawmakers at the
Session on Friday-SoIdiers'
Relief Bill Passed.

Lansing, Mich, Jan. 6.-Gor Pin
gree sent special messag' to the
house, recommending the passage of
a bill for the relief of the sick and
INDECENT soldiers of the Spanish
American war, the $1s4,OOo which had
been appropriated for this purpose
having been exhausted. A bill appro-
priating $4,000 for the purpose was
Immediately passed. The bill lacked
one vote of the two-thirds necessary
to give it immediate effect.
The senate passed the soldiers re-
lief bill. Gov. Pingree sent, by re-
quest, special message to the house
declining to submit to the legislature
the question of reimbursing Ingham
county for the expenses of the grand
jury and the prosecutions under It's
indictments. Both houses adopted a
concurrent resolution, however, urg-
ing the board of state auditors to sal
low all lawful expenses incurred by
Ingham county" in the investigation
and trial of state officers. The special
session practically ended Friday after
noon.
The grand jury is now investigating
charges that j. H. Brown, of Battle
Creek, president of the state live stock
sanitary commission, has drawn
pay from the state for testm nd in
speeding cows, while at Il Sdme time
charging dairymen for performing the
service.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. GA spe-
cial from Marquette, Mich, says:
The fund of $1S4,OO0 which was raised
by one-sixth mill tax in Michigan
for aid of soldiers who came back
from the Spanish war in a condition
which untitled them for work has
been exhausted, and figures given out
at the auditor generals office in Ian
sing show that the six companies
which went from the upper peninsula
got over a third of the entire bounty.
The amount which they received was
$66,S03.37. This division of the funds
is causing a good deal of bitterness be-
tween the soldiers from the two parts
of the state and those of the lower
peninsula are accusing the upper
peninsula volunteers of having made
a regular grab-bag out of the fund.
