LETTER TO Mr.. !. s. GORDON
TudfauanoIis Ind

Dear Sir: Devoe Ready Paint not only
goes further than Mixed Paints-except lead
and oil. the only paint that covers as we'll
but is full measure.
Few paints, that are sold by the can, are
full measure; generally they are about ten
per cent. short The same is true of almost
everything-factory weights and measures
are almost always short.
Lead and oil is an honest paint; the only
objection to it is its chalking off in three
years. Devoe neither chalks nor peels, but
lasts twice as long lead and oil.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & CO.
P. S. Devoe agents: Lilly & Stalnaker.

dered by the choirs of the three churches.
The address was delivered by the Rev. E.
E. Newbert, of All Souls Church, who
said:
This meeting of Hebrew and Christian
In a Thanksgiving service is happy omen.
Personally 1 am glad to stand on this plat
form with a Hebrew rabbi and talk of the
good things of life. which, in common with
all men, we enjoy. Genesis says: In the
beginning God created the heavens and the
earth. 1 do not know when the beginning
was, but / do know that the Hebrew was
there. that the men were there, that all
the races of men were there, because man
was there as a mighty Potentially. When

NINETY PEOPLE KILLED.
Awful Railroad Accident in Spain -
Train Precipitated Into River
While Crossing N Bridge.

Madrid, June 29.-Fourteen bodies
and 80 injured persons have been eX-
tricated from the wreck of the Bill
bao train which overturned at Meier
lila river Saturday night.
According to official information, 30
persons were killed and 80 others
seriously injured. Many of the lat
ter will die. OF the 300 passengers
on the train it is stated that only six
escaped unhurt. The train, which
was composed of two engines and 16
coaches, was crossing the bridge
when the couplings between the en-
the track and fell, followed by the
entire train, into the bed of the river.
Fortunately the water was low.
The train fell so feet from the
bridge to the river bed, the coaches
piling up in a mass of splintered
wood and ironwork. The scene is de-
scribed as horrifying. Many corpses
were carried down the stream, which
was actually reddened with blood.
1t is believed that the official fig
ures underestimate the number of
the killed, some accounts giving the
number of dead as 100. The full eN-
tent of the catastrophe will only be
known when the wreckage has been
cleared away.
The latest dispatches from Sara
gossa, near which place the catas-
trophe occurred, give the number of
dead as 80 and the injured as 100.

AWFUL EXPLOSION
Many Miners Lose Their Lives
at Hanna, Wyo.
Disaster Caused by Fire Damp-About
200 Men Were in Union Pacific
Coal Co.'s Mine No. 1 when
the Calamity Occurred
The Mine OH Fire.

Hanna, Wyo., July 1.-Probably the
worst disaster in the history of Wy
oming occurred here Tuesday when a
terrific explosion of fire damp in
Union Pacific mine No. shut off the
means of escape of 200 men, who
were working in the pit.
The fire which started Immediately
is defying all efforts of the rescuers
and there is slight hope of saving
any of the men. Twenty-eight bod
les of those working near the mouth
of the mine have been brought out.
The Union Pacific Railroad Co.,
which owns the mines, has large
force working to reach the impris-
oned men.
So intense is the excitement that
no one seems able to say how the
disaster occurred. The suppositon
is that a careless miner allowed his
lamp to come in contact with fire
damp.
The explosion was heard for many
miles and attracted people from ad-
joining towns. Huge timbers and
railroad iron were hurled 500 feet
from the mouth of the shaft.
\ large force of men began the
work of removing the debris from
the shaft Several times they were
compelled to return to the surface
on account of the gas.
About 1 o'clock four men were
taken out alive and half hour later
they were followed by ~ others.
Several are in serious condition,
but it is believed all will recover.
Two hundred and eighty-two men
went down in the mine in the morn
ing and up to late hour last night
only AS had been accounted for. Of
this number two are dead.
Mine bosses and miners say that
when the imprisoned men are reach
ed all will be found dead. Some of
the miners who escaped said they
saw 20 dead bodies in entry No. II.
They reported that many of the men
were crazed by the explosion and ran
hither and thither in the mine. Many
of these could have escaped, but they
laid down. buried their faces in their
hands and gave up the fight.

Admitted as Evidence.
Hamilton, July david Loeb, a
furniture dealer, was the first witness
called Tuesday in the trial of Alfred
Knapp for the murder of his wife.
lie said that Knapp on December 20
told him his wife was in indianapolis.
A, Moore, junk dealer, said that he
sold Knapp a box such as that Yin
which his wife's body is said to have
been placed on December 22.
Captain of Police Lenehan was
called and kept the stand a long
time. He told of arresting Knapp at
indianapolis and detailed the investi-
CATION that led to the discovery that
Knapp's wife was missing and pointed
to her husband as her murderer.
Mayor Bosch was called and was
about to tell of Knapp's confession
to him, when the defense objected,
and while the question was being ar
gued the jury was removed from the
court room.
When Mayor Bosch was recalled
the defense made a fight to keep
Knapp's two confessions from,
going to the jury. Lawyer Thomas.
made an argument stating the state
had not proven Hannah Goodalf
Knapp's murder and insinuating that
the police procured the confessions
improperly. Judge Belden finally
ruled to admit the confessions. Mayor
Bosch then outlined the confessions,
one of which was read and identi-
fed. He was on the stand when
court adjourned and was under cross
examination
