THE NINE DISASTER.
Every House In the Little Town Of
Scofeld in Mourning.
THEORY As TO CAUSE OF EXPLOSION.
A Probability That the Total Death Fig
ures VIII Aggregate 3O0-Thr Mayor
Of Salt Lake City Appoints q Com
mlttee to solicit Relief

mittee to solicit Relief
Salt Lake City, May 3.-Every house
in the little town of Scofeld is a
house Of mourning. The awful scene
of Tuesday had passed away when
the day dawned yesterday morning
and the awful calm Of despair had
taken its place. The agonized shrieks
of the widows and the means of the
fatherless were no longer heard. The
stricken ones were beyond all that
and their grief could find no utter
ance. When the removal Of the
bodies from the mine began Tuesday
hundreds of men volunteered their
services for the purpose. The rescIl-
ers came from other mines and towns
surrounding and worked necessarily
to bring out the burned and manged
remains Of the dead miners. The
bodies were taken to the company
buildings as soon as they were
brought out of the mine and were
there dressed and laid out prepara-
tory to the coroner's inquest and for
identification.
Many of the rescuers came near
losing their lives from the fatal aft
er-damp, but the work was continued
In the face of all danger and most of
the brave fellows remained at their
posts until they were almost ready
TO drop from physical exhaustion and
the deadly effects of the poisonous
fumes.
According to the closest estimate
there were about 300 men all told
employed at the two mines, which
are practically one mine. About so
of these were working in what is
known as the No. / back level and
were so far from the explosion that
it had spent its force before the
shock could reach them and they all
got out. They heard the report, but
did not grasp the situation at once,
one of the men continuing to load a
ear after it occurred.
All efforts are now being concen.
trated to bring out large number Of
bodies known to be in No. 4, where
s. men persisted. Here the force Of
the explosion broke down the timbers
and the bodies can only be got at
through No. /. Up to noon 14o bodies
had been brought out
The theory of Bishop Parmalee is
that some of the Fins recently i'm
ported secretly took giant powder
down into the mine to assist them in
their work. They were exceedingly
anxious to make a good showing and
as much money as possible and it
is thought this form Of explosive was
Used in order that great bodies of
coal could be more easily dislodged.
II is thought that when the giant
powder was touched off it ignited
some of the dust of which every coal
mine has more or less,
Three hundred and ninety-eight
men entered the mine for work Tues
day morning and great majority
of these have persisted, 1t will not be
surprising il the total death figures
aggregate 300.
The mayor of this city has APP
pointed committee to solicit and re-
ceive subscriptions for the relief Of
destitute ones.

Salt Lake City, May 3.-The reports
from Scoiield up to II o'clock last
night say that it is now known that
us are dead from the explosion and
that the estimate of loss will increase
rather than decrease. One estimate
is that there were 300 men in the
mine and on that basis there must
have been at least 300 lives lost.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
without q Dissenting Vote Equal Repre-
sentati0n IN Extended to
the Lalty.

Chicago, May 3.-The pulpit and the
pew share equally in the highest gov
ernmental body Of the Methodist
church. Without dissenting vote
the general conference at the Audi
forum yesterday ratified the action of
the annual conference In extending
equal representation to the laity.
The provisional delegates We're ad-
mitted without a contest. Mrs. NJ.
Y. McMahan withdrew her claim to
seat in the conference rather than
ieopardize the status of her male col
leagues.
The step taken makes the Metho-
dist church a democratic body; the
rule of the preacher passes with the
century. The episcopacy in the
church long since has been restricted
to superintendent without any au-
thority beyond the placing of minis
ters and suggestions to the general
and annual conferences.
The ministers were more enthusiasts
tic over the loss of their power than
the laymen over their additional
power. There were 1j7 provisional
delegates elected to fill up the dis
parity in their proportional repre-
sensation. Only IS, however, respond
ed to the roll call following their
admission. The limited lay repre-
sentation gave the pews 1875 votes.
Four ministerial delegates were alb
sent. As the roll was made up yes
terday there were 1856 preachers and
236 laymen on the regular list. At
least 50 reserve laymen will close
some of the breaches in the delega-
tons,

DEWEY AT CHICAGO.
The Admiral In.p~cts the Drainage and
ship CsaMi-Di.ir~.sing Accident
tn n se, gexat

Chicago, May 3.--"There's nothing
on the Suez like it, was Admiral
Dewey's verdict last night on the Chi
cago drainage and ship canal. lnspec-
ton of the great artificial channel
cut through the continental water
shed that for centuries separated
the waters of the great lakes from
the tributaries Of the Mississippi
was the feature of the last day of
Admiral Dewey's visit to Chicago.
The admiral was particularly struck
with the size of the canal, saying he
had had no idea of the magnitude of
the work. He imagined it was sim
ply drainage ditch and was sur
prised to see channel big enough
for a ship Admiral Dewey inquired
closely about the details of the work
and remarked the amount of labor
involved in building the drainage
canal, larger proportionately than
the work required on the Suez, be-
cause of the refractory earth and
solid rock of the one as against the
soft material and sand that had to
be moved in cutting the channel of
the other.
At Lockport several thousand peo-
pie greeted the admiral, and chill
dren's choir sang America" Bat
terry d, of Chicago, was stationed at
Lockport to fire salute. A vent
which had not been closed air tight
caused one of the pieces to discharge,
blowing off part of the right hand
and several fingers of the left hand of
Sergt William Popp, who was hold
ing the ramrod. The right hand had
to be amputated later
Mrs. Dewey was entertained yester-
day with a luncheon at one p. m,
given by Mrs. Bryan Lathrop, and at
three p. m. with drive to the Sad
die and Cycle club, Arthur j. Cation
being the host on the latter occasion.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey and their
party were entertained at six p. IN.
with reception given by the Chicago
Athletic association, and at ten p. IN.
Admiral Dewey attended an enter
tainment of the Seventh regiment
Illinois national guard at Central
Music hall.

Washington, May 3.-Representa-

the report of the house committee on
invalid pensions on what is known as
the Grand Army bill, amending the
pension law of June "a, 1899. The
bill as reported strikes out features
introduced when the measure was be-
fore the senate so that in its amended
form it conforms exactly to the rec
concentrations of the national PEN
sion committee Of the G. 4. r. and
the national officers of that organi-
cation.

Salt Lake City, May 4.-The latest
dispatches from Scofeld say that the
extreme estimate of dead are now
conceded to have been too large and
that it is numerically impossible to
place the loss of life ut 800, as there
were not that many men in the Mines
The probabilities are that $50 will be
about the total number of dead.
Relatives of the victims continue to
arrive from all the surrounding
towns. There are not enough collins
in the camp to bury the dead and,
to add horror to the situation, the
bodies are rapidly dccomposing, and
1t has been suggested that cremation
may have to be resorted to. There
are 50 bodies for which no provision
for burial has been made,
Quite u number of FinIanders were
killed in the mine, but, notwithstand-
ing this, not single Finlander has
volunteered to aid in the rescue and
the bodies of the Fins have been re-
covered by the Welsh, Scotch, English
and American miners.
A joint committee of Odd Fellows
and Knights of Pythias spent the
day among the dead identifying
members of their orders. They
found about 20 of each order among
the dead. The school children of
this city have gathered a carload of
flowers which will be sent to SEQ
field, Superintendent Welby having
placed a special cpr at the disposal of
the ladies for that purpose.
subscriptions for the relief of the
sufferers are coming in from all over
the state and the total now amounts
to $4,000.
The special committee appointed
by Mayor Thompson to receive sub
scriptions to the relief fund met yes
ierday and organized by electing the
following officers; President, ]. f..
Dooley; treasurer. A. L. Thomas;
secretary, William lngleheart. While
the committee was in session A. L.
Thomas read a dispatch from Hon.
Henry Phillips, of Pittsburg, in
which he expressed deep sorrow for
the terrible disaster and requesting
that his name be nut down for $500.

LIFE ON THE FARM.
1t Must Be Elevated So That Its Name
Shall Cease to Be a Synonym
for DrudEery.

A great deal has been said about
the hardships endured by farmers
wives, but how much harder do they
have to work than mechanics wives ?
The poultry and the dairy comprise
all the extra work, and these may be
as much or as little as desired. The
farmers house does not require half
the care, his apparel needs less atten-
ton, his fashions are simpler, his
table is easier supplied and with far
better material at little cost; the chill
dren are not kept indoors, but go
free as the birds, and, as they grow
older, how many less temptations!
The husband is not away all day, but
his home is his place of business, and
many are the holidays farmer can
take without his business suffering.
The time for very hard work on the
farm has gone by. It is not as it was
fifty or q hundred years ago, when
little machinery lightened the house.
keepers daily work. Then the farm
er's wife wove all the cloth worn by
the family, besides doing the cooking
over AN open fireplace. Now the
housework is less arduous, the sewing
is quickly done, and much time can
be given to gardening, visiting and
mental improvement If we would
have our young men and young wom-
en- realize that farming is the noblest
occupation on earth we must give the
calling more dignity, elevating it SO
that it's name shall cease to be mere
synonym of drudgery. Home life can
be made very pleasant, even on the
farm.-N. Y. Weekly.
Willmar tribune., 1900-11-14
HOW A HEN FEEDS.
In Her Natural State She Delights in
Confirming Hours in Obtain
ing q Full Meal.

Observe how the hen feeds when oot
on the range. It is first blade of
grass or leaf of clover, then a short
chase for a grasshopper or cricket,
says Wallaces' Farmer. She now dts-
covers a soft spot in the soil which
she believes worth investigating, and
sets to work, with the mining tools
which nature has given her with a
view of finding out if it is "pay dirt
A fuzzy weed head is in her path and
she stops to oashatter down few of
the ripened seeds. She is drawn away
from this repast by another grass
hopper, which springs down in front
of her and jumps away again just in
time to save himself from the dash
which she has made at him. In place
Of the grasshopper which she didn't
get, she nips aEotter clover leaf or
blade of grass. Thus the hen feeds a
little at a time and consuming hours
in obtaining a full meal. 1t seems
that people who see this every day
might know that throwing down a
measure of shelled corn on a bare
spot is not the proper way to feed the
hens. And those who do this will
receive conclusive proof that there is
something wrong with their feeding
during the time of year when the
hen has no choice of foou, but must
live on what is given her by the
owner,
