The POEM.

l stood upon the oceans beach,
And with reed 1 wrote upon tho sand
these words,
Agnes, I love theer'
But the winds came and the waves
rolled mountain high,
And blotted out the fair impression.
Cruel waves, treacherous sand, fragile
reed;
No longer will l trust to thee.
But from the highest mountain peak I'll
pluck the tallest pine.
And, dipped in the crater Of resuvius,
with it will write
Upon the high and FURNISHED heavens
these words:
"A Wise Woman"i is drawing the largest
audiences ever known,
And giving an entertainment that will
take your breath away.
And l would like to see any dog-gone
wave wash that out.

to the Sentinel from Coal Creek says:
At 6 o'clock yesterday morning the

be asked to contribute fund to build
o monument to the dead and where a
section has been bought by them.
Five hundred weflen and children
were present to see the bodies and to
Identify them if possible. The burials
began at noon, as some of the bodies
were torn and charred and hasty in
terment was absolutely necessary. As
a result of the terrible force of the ex
plosion the faces and heads of some of
the men are torn as If they had been
pummeled. Two bodies have the heads
completely severed.
Superintendent George Camp and
others, who worked all night, have gone
almost thru the entire course Of the
Fraterville and Thistle mines, and now
are satisfied that the other missing
bodies are in the rooms and wings lead
ing from the main channels. Air is be-
ing pumped into the. mines, but
stencil has arisen from the bodies in
side and men find it almost impossible
to work without stimulants.
Doctors are on the scene to render
any assistance. State Mine Inspector

MIR. Hopkins Assures the President of
Big Republican Majority.


Washington, May 21.-Representa-
tive A. j. Hopkins called on President
Roosevelt yesterday and told him that,
judging from indications, discovered
during the ante-convention campaign,
Illinois this year will have republican
majority of $4,000 to 100000. Mr.. Hop
Rims arrived last night, and is in rare
good spirits. Representative Cannon
accompanied him to the white house.
The two statesmen seem to think it is
all over but the the shouting in the
praire state. The president was glad to
to meet the two leading figures in the
recent convention, and expressed graf
ific ttion over the roseate accounts they
gave of the political situation in Illi-
nois.
In leaving Mr.. Hopkins accepted con-
gratulaticns upon the outcome of the
Springfield convention. He said all re-
publicans of standing seemed to accept
the Endorsement of that convention as
making his election as United States
senator certain. Mr.. Hopkins coll
leagues in the house of representatives,
in their congratulations, seem to take a
similar view.
