A TERRIFIC MINE EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and NIany Injured by an Explosion of Coal Dust
 in Illinois Mine.

Springfield, H., Oct. 1.-Two men were killed, four fatally and others seriously injured Monday afternoon in an explosion at Victor Mine, Paw nee, IS miles from here.
 The dead: w. V. Overcash, aged 30, single; Michael Yorja, aged 27, single.
 Fatally injured: Frank Isaac, aged IA, breaker, dying; Peter Green, head and body crushed; John Burke, frightfully bruised; George Morley, bruised and burned
 Others injured were Daniel Reece, John Dick, William Sparling, John Pick, Peter Ceroyich, Jerome Sproul, Thomas King, Joseph Buchener and Thomas King
 The explosion occurred just before the day force of 190 men went off duty, and was caused by too much powder in a blast, the concussion causing coal dust, which thicllly over hung the mine, to explode with great force. Some idea of the force of the explosion can be learned from the fact that those killed and injured were about four thousand feet from the place where the shots were fired. 1saacs was hurled against the entry wall with such force that his head was smashed beyond recognition.

ENGLAND'S WAR TAX.
four in South Africa Shows Where Much Money Was Spent by
 the Army.

A journey once across the KarrOo is distinctly interesting. Just now it has more than usual interest for an Eng 1lShman, says a correspondent of the boston Transcript. As he travels north of Matjesfontein, and even more so when north of Beaufort West, he can see where good proportion of the income tax at shilling and fourpence ln the pound has gone. From Matjes 1onteln to De Aar it is represented by empty tin cans and bottles which have been thrown out of the transport trans by Atkins &5 Co. on their way from Cape Town to the scene of the re- cent npleasantness. If the railroad tracks were torn up, and every eyi- dence of their having been a railway were obliterated, it would still be cas- fly possible to make ones way across the 300 miles of Karroo by steering between the two well-marked lines of empty tin cans and bottles. There would be no danger of going ten feet astray.
 There are cans and bottles of all na- t1o1 Hlltles. Continental Europe is rep rese1ted by bottles which, when shipped from their place of origin, were neatly done up in straw. Atkins superior in khaki is, of course, respon- slble for these. Atkins himself is rep resented chiefly by meat cans-most of them wi-h Chicago or Kansas City brand. For hundreds of miles the northward movement of British troops Is marked by these cans, which will continue to advertise the meat packing industry of America until their labels are slowly washed out of recognition by the scanty rainfall of the Karroo. There are so many of these cans that one wonders how armies were fed be- fore Chicago and Kansas City came into existence and the process of meat packing was invented. One fact is obvious: No country can hope to go to war in the future unless it's credit stands high in Chicago and Kansas City. At worst, a country which is pressed for men can resort to the draft or to conscription, but the largest army which can be put in the field would soon be useless if it were not we'll supported by the Big Four.

CALL IT THE CAN CITY.
New Name for Baltimore, Once Noted for Its Many Large and Hand-
 Monuments.

That more attention is paid to mat ters of business nowadays and less to sentimental considerations is shown in quial name for which city is sought, says the New York Sun.
 It appears from the most recent cen sus bulletin of the division of Amer ican industries that 60 per cent. of the oyster canning in the United States is done in Baltimore. It is not alone on oyster canning, however, that the fame and profit of Baltimore as the Can City rest, for in addition to oys- ters, fruits, shrimps, mussels, crabs and corn are packed in large amounts in Baltimore, and the increase in these lines is continuous.
 For many years Baltimore has re- tained the name of the Monumental City of the United States, not by rea- son of the great number of monu- ments it possesses, for Baltimore in that respect does not rank so high as New York, Chicago, Boston or St. Louis, but because it was the first city to commemorate the services of George Washington with monument, the Maryland legislature having made provision for one in 1909. The monu- ment was begun on July 4, 1915, and completed in 1880.
 Still another notable memorial in Baltimore is the Battle monument, be- gun in 1915 in honor of the defenders of Baltimore in 1912, when it was att tacked by English soldiers. The pop utar opinion is that Baltimore is dis tinguished for the number and beauty of It's monuments, but actually it gained the name of the Monumental City by :Es promptness in raising two.
 Baltimore owes little of it's present material prosperity to it's monuments, but much to it's large canning inter- ests, and to this fact is ascribed the project, which has considerable local favor, to have it called hereafter the Can City, as Pittsburg is the City of Steel, Troy the City of Collars and Cuffs, Patterson the City of Silk, Low ell the City of Spindles, and Washing ton the City of Distances.

Four Found in Rear of the Central College of Physicians and
 Surgeons, Indianapolis.
ALL OF THEM HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED.
They Were Some of Those Stolen From the City Cemeteries By the Band of Body Snatchers, Seven teen of Whom Are Under Arrest Awaiting Trial.

Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 14.-Four dead bodies were found, Monday. tied 1n sacks in Georgia street, and in the rear of the Central College of Physi- clans and Surgeons. The bodies were identified as those of Mrs. Jo- hama Stiltz, stolen from the Ebeneez- CT cemetery; Miss Glendore Gates. stolen trom Anderson cemetery; Wal lace Johnson, stolen from Ebeneezer cemetery, and Mrs. Catherine Doehr- ing, stolen from the German Catholic cemetery.
 All these cemeteries are near the city line.
 \ Call By Telephone.
 About six o'clock Monday morning bicycle patrolmen were sent to Mer- dian and Georgia streets on a tele- phone message that there were bo- dies there. When the policemen ar- rived they were directed to a dry goods box on the sidewalk on Georgia street opposite dry goods store.
 On top of the box in sitting pos tlre was a body tied in sack The form could plainly be seen. It was identified as that of Mrs. Stiltz The patrolmen looked in the box and found another body, also tied in sack. The city dispensary ambulance was called to the place and the bodies were sent to the morgue.
 The Finder Was There.
 A young man who telephoned for the police was still there, and he told the police that he was on his way to work. While passing the rear end of the Central College of Physi- clans and Surgeons in South Pennsyl- vania street, he said, he noticed two sacks filled with something lying near the rear door of the college. When he walked into Georgia street and saw the body sitting on the dry goods box he realized that the sacks in the rear of the college probably contained bodies.
 Officers hurried to the Central col lege and took charge of the bodies in the alley Each one was tied se- curely in sack. When the sacks were cut open 1t Was IOullI lIdI tHey contained the bodies of Miss Gates and Wallace Johnson.
 Theory of the Find.
 The finding of the bodies is thought to be due to the efforts of detectives who for several days have been talk ing with physicians not connected with any of the colleges to use their influence in having the stolen bodies returned to the relatives.
 Seventeen persons are now under ar rest for grave robbing. The list in- cludes nine negroes, three white doc tors. one cOlored undertaken, a pro- prietor of a cemetery, two night watchmen at cemetery and another night watchman.
 It is supposed at least one hum dred graves have been despoiled with in the last three months. Rufus Can treIl, colored, is the confessed leader of the gang.
 Judge Afford. in his instructions to the grand jury, Monday, told them to go to the bottom of the outrage and punish every man for his part in it, regardless of his prominence.
