NINETY KNOWN DEAD.
With Awful Possibilities in Unex-
plored Entries is the Mine
Disaster Story.
FOURTEEN LIVED THROUGH IT ALL
But One Died as He Reached the
Light of the Sun.
Brave Men Face Death to Rescue the
Living and Recover the Dead
and See Terrible Sights.

Johnstown, Pa, July 12.-It can be
stated that of the 600 men supposed
to have entered the mouth of the Roll
ing Mill mine Thursday ninety are
known to be dead and twenty-five res
cued. Four hundred escaped, leaving
Lightweight still to be accounted for.
Some of these are alive, but the ma
jority is believed to have been killed.
There are said to be at least fifty-two
bodies yet in the mine, making the to-
tai death roll 142.
Johnstown, Pa, July 11.-Yesterday
was day Of heroic rescues ut the
fated Rolling Mill mine of the Cam
bria Steel company. Thrilling expert
ences attended the efforts of the forty
brave and daring fellows who went
down into the bowels of the earth with
very faint hope to spur them that
still they might be in time to restore
to life some of those who are en-
tombed. Death lurked everywhere
around them, but undaunted they went
forward, swayed with the noblest of
human purposes. The reward of their
efforts was the saving of the lives Of
fourteen Of their fellow men. Dead
and mutilated boobies We're located
but no effort was made to bring them
out of the vast theater of death until
it was certain that nothing except
dead We're in the mine.
Eighty-seven Dead Brought Up.
Eighty-seven dead bodies We're re
covered from the mine between day
light and n.ghtfall. Still n party Of
officials and miners battled on, three
miles inside the mine. OCCASIONAL,
word would come to the surface b.
some mysterious means that anothe
heap Of rem" ms had been found. Their,
remain dargerous headings in tn
Klondike section of the mine yet t
be explored. No one knows how man,
more dead bodies will be found there
The mine officials refrain from CUES
work on the subject. The impression
prevails among the outsiders and ce1
tain employees of the mine that $50
q low estimate of the casualty list.
Work of Rescue Was Difficult.
1t is difficult to picture with an
degree approaching its full worth til
work of rescue and the attendin
scenes and incidents of the day-ho1
brave men went into the jaws of deaf
in its most horrible form, encountere
their fellows transformed into ravin
maniacs by hours of waiting in tn
pitch darkness, lifted them moanin
from their beds of fallen rock, an
then, bending and crawling on n
fours, carried them quarter of mil
J underground to where cars could b
reached to take them outside.

Des N1oines. Ia, July 1.-THE flood
situation reached its most alarming
stage in the history of the city in the
morning. The Des Moines river was
twenty-one feet above low water mark
at Z o'clock, having risen three feet
In less than ten hours. 1t is still rising
at IL rapid rate. The Raccoon river,
which empties into the Des Moines at
this place, advanced four feet between
and $3.50 a. m. and is still going up.
The flood is at the highest point since
1851, when the river was six feet deep
over what is now occupied by thou.
sands of residences, business houses
and factories. AT that time the river
was but one foot higher than at pres.
ent and it is evident the old record
will be broken

Nothing but levees protect all this
district and in twoscore places they
have either broken or given away.
Hundreds of men are working desper-
ately along the levees to save their
homes and property, but the water is
slowly driving them from their posi-
tions. Residents of South Des Moines
kept an anxious vigil all night long,
and at O'Clock, owing to the breaking
Of u large section of the levee, We're
forced to flee. Many thrilling rescues
by boats are reported. Thousands of
dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed in thirty minutes in South Des
N1oines, and it is now practically cut
Off from the rest of the city, -Four feet
of water is rushing through district
of twenty blocks occupied by resi-
dences. In North Des Moines wide
breach in the levee occurred at s
O'clock and 400 residents were forced
to abandon their homes and much Of
their property.
Water Works May Fail.
The situation is intensified by the
necessity of closing down the water
works if the river advances another
foot and the city will be absolutely
without water for domestic consump-
ton, factory use or fire protection.
Hundreds of men are constructing Il
temporary ieyee about the water
works, but the water rises almost as
fast MS they work. Street car traffic
has been abandoned on a number of
lines and will have to be abandon all
over the city in a short time, owing to
water putting out the fires under the
boilers of the powerhouse. 1t is re-
ported from Abel, Fort Dodge and
other places above Des Moines that the
rivers are still rising, which is a great
er menace to this city.

PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
Permantly Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable.

Sick and nervous headaches are
amongst the worst ills OF life. The
man or woman who is subject to head
ache at irregular intervals goes through
life bearing load of misery and
wretchedneSs that is terrible t. think
Of.
Headaches as rule, result from q
disordered condition of the nervous
system. Mental excitement, loss of
sleep, bodily fatigue and disordered
digestion are exciting causes. When
the brain becomes tired and debilitated
the whole nervous system is weakened,
and headaches result. If the liver is
sluggish, the kidneys inactive, and
digestion deraneed, headaches invari.
ably follow. To cure and prevent
headache, the Eervous system must
be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistent cases OF head
ache, nervous feebleneSs, and sleep.

Paine's Celery Compound: it is the
