Germouy's Richest Mnu.

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-THE richest man
in Germany is Herr Krupp. Accord
ing to the income tax returns, he has
an income of between 20,000,000 and
21 100000 marks a year. No one ap-
proaches him in wealth. He stands in
class alone, and there are over
dozen classes between Herr Krupp and
the next richest man in Germany. The
income tax returns show siXty-five 9th
er incomes of more than 100000
marks per year. Ten of these incomes
are under 100000, two are under
4,000,000 and three are under 100000
marks year. The returns also show
2,774 persons to have yearly income

Dow Mining company at Dow, I. T.
The ten men who lost their lives were
the only persons in the pit. All the
bodies were recovered, and as none was
burned the conclusion is that death
was due to after damp. The explosion
did not injure the shaft. which was
new one, and the fire that followed
was put out before it did much dam

The sound of the explosion was heard
plainly at the surface, and rescucrs i'm

The bodies were found close together.
The fire was eXtinguished before It had

THE HAVANA TRIALS
Sensational Episode Between
Rathbone and Reeves.
LATTER SAYS HIS CHIEF IS A LIAR.
Cuban Papers Speak Disparagingly
of Reeves Conduct During the
Trial-He Is an Enthusiastic
Government witness.

HAVANA, Jan. 15.-The examination
of Estes G. Rathbone, formerly director
general of posts of Cuba, was contin-
ued yesterday, when the trial of the
charges growing out of the Cuban
,ostoffice frauds was resumed. Private
correspondence between Rathbone and
tormer Postmaster General Smith was
introduced. Rathbone said he did not
lake part in any campaign having for
is purpose his appointment as civil
governor of Cuba. Some overzealous
friends began one, but he did not in
dorse it and wrote to the president and
postmaster general saying he did not
want the position.
The government introduced Charles
#. w. Neely's letter, with a petition
to the president asking for the ap-
pointment of Rathbone. Rathbone said
he did not know of its existence until
six weeks ago.
A dramatic incident of the trial in
the afternoon was the confronting of
Rathbone with Reeves with regard to
the statement Reeves alleges Rathbone
made after Rathbone's return to the
United States in November, 1899, and
two months after the stamps were
burned.
When Reeves took the stand, Rath-
bone was sitting opposite him. Reeves
said that Rathbone told him that Neely
had arranged the matter with regard
to the burning of the surcharged
stamps, so that fraud would not be
discovered. Rathbone here asked
Reeves if he was willing to swear to
this statement. Reeves replied, Yes"
to which Rathbone said, God help
you!'
Reeves occupies himself during the
trial with making copious notes. He
is most enthusiastic witness for the
government La Lucha refers to him
as unprepossessing evasive and guard
ed, apparently willfully stupid, and says
he has inspired his listeners with the
idea that he is trying to save himself,
that he is unsatisfactory to the pur
pose of the investigation and contra
dictory.
Rathbone admitted having received
the letter from Neely after his arrest.
He said it was in answer to a cable

spector General Charles Burton report.

THE TOUCH DOES IT

Benson's Plasters are like your other
friends-they hate to see you in pain or
in weakness and are og-tired hearing you
complain about it. They want to cure you
and send you along toyour business-whole
and happy. They can do it and aoiU do it.
Try them on. What forp Why for any
cough or cold you may be troubled with, or
any bothering pain or ache, or worry with
kidneys or liver. Possibly some old clutch
of muscular rheumatism renders an arm or
a leg worth only half price just now. For
anything that makes the machine work slow
and stiff, with pain maybe in the motion Of
it, clap a Benson's Porous Plaster squarely on
the bad spot. They are the get-out-to-morroto
plasters-not the sort that go to sleep on
your skin like cat on cushion. There
is comfort and speedy relief in the touch of
them. No other external remedy, no mat
ter how made or how called, is worthy
to live in the same street with Ben
sons Plasters. Pains and ailments melt
away under them as q sheet of ice does un-
der the Spring sun. You cannot foretell
the weather but you can always foretell
the effect of Bensons Plasters; it is as
sure as the effect of q hot breakfast in q
hungry mans stomach. But look out for
substitutes. Get the genuine. All drug
gists, or we will prepay postage on any
number ordered in the United States on
receipt of a5c. each.

TRENTON, n. j., Jan. 14.-This is
one of the biggest opening days Of the
legislature that has been experienced
in Trenton for some time. The several
candidates for the Republican nominal

whom go from one headquarters to an
other. Five of the candidates-Messrs
Griggs, Dryden, Baird, Herbert and
Gardner-have headquarters at the

headquarters at the Hotel Windsor.
There is nothing on the surface to in

past two weeks.
The caucus for the selection of a can

not be held until next week, probably
