Victor, Iowa, Jan. 2l.-As the Den
yer limited passenger train No. 8, of
the Rock Island, was passing through
this town this morning at $3.50, the
boiler Of engine No. 500 exploded, re-
sulting in the death of the engineer
and fireman and slightly injuring two
porters and brakeman.
The accident took place within 200

explosion aroused every person in the
town. The force of the explosion
threw every one of the seven coaches
of the train off the track, but only over
turned the Des Moines Pullman.
Fortunately the passengers were un-
injrued. Pieces of the wrecked engine
were strewn around for a distance Of
200 feet and the boiler was found 15O

TEN WERE KILLED.
Explosion in a Coal Mine Leaves None to
Tell the Tale.

South McAlister, |. T., Jan 16.-
Ten miners lost their lives in the ex-
plosion yesterday evening in mine No
8 Of the Milby & Dow Mining Com
pany at Dow, |. T.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit, and
none were left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered, and as
none was burned, the conclusion IS
that death was due to afterdamp. The
explosion did not injure the shaft,
which is a new one, and the fire that
followed was put out before it did
much damage. The sound of the ex-
plosion was heard plainly above
ground, and rescuers were at work
promptly. The explosion occurred at
depth of 240 feet. The condition of
the mine indicated that the men
might have made their escape The
bodies were found within a compare.
lively small radius. Most of the vic
tins were men of families.

No Hone Of Saving Austrian Miners.

Breux, Austria, Jan. 1.-THE water
in the Jupiter mine, which was sud-
denly flooded January IA, when the
escape of 43 men, including the mana
ger of the mine and two superintend-
ents, was cut off, does not subside, and
hope of saving the men has been
abandoned. The disaster was due to
the overfowing of the River Bila near
the mine. Precautions to prevent the
flooding of the mine were taken too
late. One engineer was saved. Sub
sequently nine men courageously went
into the mine a second time, and never
returned. Thirty-one of the victims
were married.

HEAVY SNOW IN KANSAS.
It Will Be Of Great Benefit to WhCat-No
Damage to Stock.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. pa damp,
heavy snow began falling in this section
early today. 1t is showing harder in
the northern portion of the state to-
night than in any other portion of the
state, and extends as far north as Fair
bury, Neb, Practically no wind accom-
panies the snow, and the temperature
has been moderate all day. No drifts
have resulted, but the snow is soft and
is wet and packs down solidly.
The beneficial effect of the snow upon
the wheat is incalculable. Wheat was
beginning to show the effects of the dry
weather. While at no time in any
great danger, it needed moisture and
now it has moisture in great abund-
ance. The snow could not have come
at more opportune time for benefit

StOrk Case.
In the case of L. Stork against j.
H. Helmken, the jury in the City
Court after being out less than ten
minutes, returned a verdict for the de-
PENDANT. The suit was a sensational
one, in which Stork attempted to re-
cover $4,000 damages from Helmken
because of the use of approbrious
words.
In his answer Helmken admitted
that he had called Stork a --
scoundrel, but submitted that he stood
ready to prove the truthfulness of the
allegation. Several witnesses also
proved that Helmken called Stork a
contemplate fellow.
In proving the truthfulness of his
allegations, the defendant adduced eV-
idence to show that Stork, though a
married man, kept company with a
Mrs. Marshall, the woman who caused
the difficulty between Helmken and
StOrk He proved also that Mrs. Stork
and her four children We're in distress.
while Stork spent his money on an
other woman.
The case occupied the attention of
the court throughout the day. and the
verdict was returned late in the after
noon. Raiford Falligant represented
the plaintiff, and Osborne & Lawrence
the defendant.

The grand jury for the Rune term Of
the Superior Court made its
general presentments yesterday
and was discharged. Outside of the
recommendation in reference to gamb-
ling, the feature of the presentments
was the report Of the Committee on
Roads and Bridges, and the recon-
mendation of a bill TO the Legislature
The jurors submit that it is impos-
sible for them TO cover the field, since
there are in this county over 300 miles
of public roads, more than $50 miles of
drainage and several hundred bridges
and that the magnitude of the inspec-
ton works a hardship on the members
of the committee charged with it, they
having to furnish their own convey
ances. They, therefore. request the So
licitor general to frame a bill author
izing the County Commissioners to
furnish conveyances to the Committee
on Roads and Bridges of the grand
jury. The condition of the drainage
throughout the county is reported TO
be excellent, but many of the roads are
in need of repair.
Recommended Better Roads.
Among the road Improvements rec
commended is the surfacing with gravel
of the Oreechee and Monteith roads,
and the widening and improving of the
Skidaway road in numerous places.
the Dean Forest road has been neg
lected. and is in many places in need
of repair. The jury recommends that
the Seaboard Air Line be required to
build a grade crossing at point where
Mr.. Bourquin was killed.
The Committee on Public Schools re-
ported that it found the system
thorough in all details. The general
hygenic condition of the buildings is
very much improved, but the jury sug
gests that when changes are made in
the sanitary conditions in the future
those in use at the Cathedral School
be adopted The jurors recommend
that the Board of Education, when in
possession Of funds erect iron stair
ways on the outside of the school
buildings when connecting rooms and
narrow winding stairs are used for exit.
They also advocate changes in the
buildings that shall do away with con-
Meeting rooms and congested stairways
and bring them as nearly as possible to
the standard of the new buildings that
have been erected. The committee ex-
pressed satisfaction at the means used
by the superintendent and principals
to improve the efficiency of the teach
ers' force in weekly meetings of the
Normal Glass and the use of the teach
ers' library.
County Records Praised.
The county treasurer's books came
in for a share Of criticism. The grand
jury recommends that the county
treasurer be required to keep person.
al accounts separate from county
funds. The books of the office they
found were not written up daily. and
they recommended that in the future
he be required to post his books each
day They recommended further that
the treasurer place county funds at in
terest on daily balances by inviting
bids from all the banks in the county.
The experts employed by the grand
jury to examine the records of the
county officers reported that they
found the books to be practically cor
rect The grand jury suggests, upon
consideration of their report and the
examination made by the committee of
their body, that the sheriff be made
to keep regular set of books. show

afternoon between Jacksonville and

Jones ran the spheroid back TWEEN

more and ram jams at center and
savage jabs at tackle Melted ten. Close
formations and massive smashes then
proved futile Fierce plunging and
needle-like piercing tore off five ten
yard chunks at a clip, and then the
ends were boxed for a thirty-yard
sprint. Further onslaught met a Chi
nese wall and the Dorcine skin went
over. The leather was booted forty
yards, and a punting duel followed.
A revolving wedge gained some, and
brazen interference aided in accru
ing six. Then came a criss-cross for
two. There were three more on a
double pass, but the whoa back was
