The Best Remedy For Group.

From Atchison, Kan, Daily Globe.I
This is the season when the woman
who knows the best remedies for Group
is in demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the mid
die of the night by whoop from one
OF the children. The Group remedies
are almost as sure to be lost, in case
of Group, as revolver is sure to be
lost in case of burglars. There used
to be an old-fashioned remedy for
Group, known as hive syrup and tolu,
but some modern mothers say that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is bet
ter, and does not cost so much. 1t
causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief In
shorter time. Give this remedy as
soon as the croupy cough appears and
it will prevent the attack. 1t never
fails and is pleasant and safe to take,

Before a Girl Promises.

Whole hearted affection is, in the ma
jority of cases, absolutely essential to
married happiness, but it must Oe COM
bined beforehand with practical com
mon sense. which will enable a girl to
gain clear insight into the character
of the man she proposes to marry.
Girls nowadays are apt to think that
a handsome, attractive and fascinating
lover must necessarily make good
husband, whereas it frequently hap
pens that he is totally unfit for the re-
sponsibilities Of married life. Before a
woman promises to be the wife of a
man it is a duty which she owes to
herself to learn everything about him.
1t is not inquisitlve or mean, as many
girls seem to imagine, to inquire into
his private life and affairs. The time
to find out If your fancy for a mans
looks is Endorsed by his life's history
and whether his habits are good and
his tastes congenial is during courtship
days. Each girl should scrutinize her
prospective husbands character as
carefully as she would new hat or
gown, and then she should be able to
decide fairly easily as to whether he
is the right man for her to marry
American Queen.

All Contrnltos Dark.

asked a teacher of vocal music. "I'll
be bound you never did, for the reason
that all contraltos are dark. For a
matter of twenty years 1 have OBJ
served the human voice, and I have
come to the conclusion that the color
ing of person has some sort of In
f1uence upon the vocal organs. Blond
persons with blue eyes,. ruddy com
pleXions end yellow hair incline to
have high, sharp, metallic voices-so-
prano voices. I won't go so far as TO
say that l can tell by a woman's ap-
pearance what type of voice she has,
but l will say that can usually give a
pretty good guess as to her voice. To
be sure, l have seen blends with deep

in my life have seen blond contral-

THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED.
Explosion Results Fatally in Arkansas
Coal Mine.


Fort Smith, Ark, Nov. 25.-Thirteen
miners were killed and great damage
done by an accidental explosion of gas
in coal mine No. 20 at Bonanza, Ark.
The recovered dead are: Robert Refs
dale, Ira Strickland, Will Kehoe, Mike
Walker w. Moore, Grandpa" Brown.
There were cbout 175 men in the
various shafts at the time of the ex-
plosion. All escaped without injury
except the thirteen who were en-
ployed in entry X, the scene of the
explosion. The force of the explo-
sion was terrific and timbers were
thrown from the walls of the passages
for several hundred yards at the
mouth of the entry. The passages
were so completely INSTRUCTED that
the work of rescuing the entombee
men was tedious in the extreme and
several hours were consumed before
the first body was found.
1t is thought that the gas was acct
dentally ignited by a miners lamp.
The miners who escaped, with the aid
of others summoned from nearby
shafts, Immediately set about clearing
the passages. 1t is now considered
certain that all of the entombed men
have persisted.

Former Iowa Executive Passes Away
at CentervilIe.
Centerville, Ia, Nov 21-General
F. M. Drake, ex-governor of Iowa, is
dead at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Henry Goss, in this city. The ex-
governor was stricken with diabetes
several days ago and has been gradu.
ally growing worse ever since. His
son, John A., and his daughter, Mrs.
j. l.. Sawyer, are on their way from
New York, having been telegraphed
for The other three daughters, Mrs.
Henry Goss. Mrs. George Sturdivant
and Mrs. T. A. Shontz and another
son, Frank Drake, the latter two from
Chicago, were at the bedside.
The estate of General Drake consist.
ing of bank and railroad stocks and
farm land, is estimated to be worth
between $S.O00,000 and 100000. 1t
is said Drake university, which insti-
tuition the ex-governor has already
given sums totalling 100000, will re-
ceive share of the estate.

born in Rushville, Schuyler county,
Illinois, Dec. 80, 1880. He was elected
to the governorship of Iowa in 1895.

In Westminster Ahbex.

Foxs tomb is perhaps the most ridic-
ulous in the abbey, but others run it
hard-the naked figure of General
Wolfe supported by one of his staff in
full regimentals and receiving a crown
from Victory: William Wilberforce ap-
parently listening to Sheridan telling a
comic tale and comforting his features
in the endeavor not to laugh; the Sir
Cloudesley Shovel in periwig and Ro-
man toga, which excited the mirth even
of contemporaries, and all the monu-
ments erected by the East India COM
pany, with palm trees and other trop-
ical eXuberances, to the memory of
great soldiers, like Sir Eyre Coote.

dictator would be justified in dismiss
ing these and many more to the stone

Of the hospital ideas may we'll be

FIND EVIDENCE OF A PLOT.
coroner's Inquest at Cripple Creek
Brings Out Startling Facts.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Nov. 25.-At
the coroner's inquest in the case of
two men killed By the explosion in
the indicator mine the evidence pro-
duced demonstrated conclusively that
the explosion was the result of a plot
to blow up the mine, but nothing of
definite character developed to indi-
cate the guilty parties.
The articles found at the scene Of
the explosion were put in evidence
They consisted of part of a stick Of
giant powder of different make from
that used in the mine, pair Of wire
clippers of pattern not used by the
Vindicator miners, some electric wire
and fragments of revolver. Several
witnesses were examined, but no new
facts were brought out. Adjutant Gen
eral Sherman Bell stated that a large
amount of evidence had been secured
for the trial of the men suspected Of
the outrage. The general also stated
that Internal machines ready to be ex-
ploded had been found in two other
mines and that there was positive ev-
idence that the plot included five
mines in all. He expressed the opin-
ion that the explosion in the Vindi-
Gator mine occurred before the con-
spirators intended as most of the
troops were on outgoing trains, but
had not started when it occurred.

TwENTY-oNE MEN IN THE MINE.
All but One of These Has Been Taken
Out Either Dead or Iniuwred

Connellsville, Pa, Nov. 23-This has
been sad day in the little mining
settlement Of Ferguson. When the
books of the company were consulted
to determine the identity of the dead
and injured in the explosion in the
Ferguson mine, it was found there
were twenty-one men in the mine at
the time of the explosion. Ten bodies
were taken from the mine. OF the ten
injured, one died, and one man is miss
ing, whose body is supposed to be
still in the mine.
All day long the trolley cars have
been crowded with curious people 60
ing to and from the scene. Hundreds
have stood for hours around the little
blacksmith shop which was turned
into morgue, where the ten bodies
of the unfortunate miners were pre-
pared for burial.
Coroner Hagen says he will not hold
the inquest until some of the injured
men at the hospital recover.

FIERY DEATH LOR 80
ITALIAN LABoRERs cREMATED IN
SHANTY NEAR LILLEY, PA.

Many Rush Back to Rescue Their
Hoarded Savings After They Had
Escaped, and Perish Beside Treas
ure-Four of the Injured Will Die.
Johnstown, Pa, Nov. 23.-Two of
lodging shanty at Lilley died at hos
pital in this city. This brings the
total death list up to thirty. Ten other
victims of the disaster at the hospital
here are in serious condition, four of
whom will die. All the victims were
Italians and most of them leave fam
lilies in the old country. Bones and
pieces of charred flesh, all that re-
NAMED of twenty men, were gathered
up, placed in twelve caskets and
buried.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove. The build
ing burned like finder and the flames
were upon the men before any of them
were aroused.
Then began a struggle for the out
side and life. They fought and scram-
bled for the doors, and the weaker
were crushed down and trampled. 9th
ers were roasted to death there.
Many of those who did manage to
get out had their savings of years in
their trunks, which they left behind
them in the building. Remembering
this fact as soon as they got outside,
they fought just las fiercely to get
back. A few succeeded, but for the
sake of their boarded treasure they
gave up their lives. One eyewitness
says he does not believe that single
man of those who returned succeeded
in getting out again.
In the ruins some of the corpses were
close beside the hoped bands of their
trunks, and melted gold and silver
which had been kept in those recepta-
cles indicated that they had fallen and
died with their treasure in their arms.

of a smart man that there are but two
great editors in the country-"one is
the American woman and the other is

taste has much to do with the charac-
ter of the leading journals, and the
advertisers enterprise makes every
thing possible to the newspapers. 1t Is
because women read the newspapers
that most advertisers buy it's space.

BIG STRIKE SETTLED
VICTORY FOR CHICAGO STREET
RAILWAY COMPANY.
Wage Scale to ee Arbitrated Accord
ing to Wages Now Paid Outside of
City-Strkers to Be Reinstated, In
Guiding All Who Quit in Sympathy.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-The strike of the
employees of the Chicago Street rail
way was settled at an early hour this
morning at a conference between the
mayor, the aldermanic peace commits
sion, President Hamilton and E. R.
Bliss, counsel for the company, and
the executive board of the local union
of the strikers. The basis on which
the settlement was reached is a COM
plete victory for the company as far
as the original demands of the men
are concerned. The agreement reached
will be ratified at meeting of the
men and it is expected that traffic on
all lines of the company will be re-
sumed today. The only important con-
cession made by the company was an
agreement to reinstate all the strik-
ers; including the outside unions who
went out in sympathy with the train
men, with the exception of those who
resorted to violence during the trouble
The arbitration of the wage scale is
to be according to the wages paid out
side of Chicago and not on the basis
of the local street railways. These
stumbling block to peaceable adjust
ment of the strike for the last week.
The company has insisted that it pays
higher wages than any similar corpor
alton in the country. The men were
fearful that the arbitration on the
scale paid in other cities would de-
crease their wages and they fought
stubbornly for their point.
Plugged cable slots and manholes
filled with debris caused the City Rail-
way company all manner of trouble in
operating its State street car line.
There was comparatively no violence
offered to the men handling the cars,
which were, as usual, guarded by the
police, but as soon as the cars had
passed the crowd would swarm on the
tracks, drive spikes in the cable slots
and fill the manholes with stones. The
cars when running between Thirty
ninth and SiXty-first streets were COM
PEELED to take from fifteen to twenty
minutes to run square. On the last
trip crowd of 1000 men followed the
cars when they started back from the
downtown district. Jeers and boots
filled the air, but no missiles were
thrown and no arrests were made. The
police on the cars were ordered by In
spector Hunt that if compelled to use
their revolvers they were to fire into
the mob with the intention of hitting
somebody. There is to be no more
shooting over peoples heads, the in
Epector declared
