A MINING DISASTER
Terrific Explosion Wrecks
 Union Pacific Shaft.
TWO HUNDRED MINERS ENTOMBED
Mine Worker Entered a Condemned Section of Coal Mine With Lamp and Ignited Large Accu-
 mutation of Gas.

HANNA, Wyo., July 1.-The worst coal mine disaster in the history of Wyoming has occurred in Mine No. of the Union Pacific Goal company, where terrific explosion occurred.
 The mine took fire immediately, and the relief force which was organized at once to rescue the entombed miners was unable for a time to approach the entrance to the mine on account of dense volumes of smoke, but after be- ing in the mine some hours the party returned to the surface with the man. gled bodies of twenty-five miners who were taken out of the mines by the rear shaft or manhole. Some of the men were alive when found, but many will die. Those who can talk say that the men who were working farther on in the mine are probably dead. A con- servative estimate places the number of dead at 234.
 The explosion was caused by a man going into a condemned entrance of dently accumulated, for a tremendous explosion occurred the moment the gas touched the miners lamp.
 A special train has taken physicians and nurses from Rawlins and Laramie to the mine, which is reported to be burning fercely.
 Most of the entombed miners, esti- mated to number 200, are believed to be on the sixth level.

New Worlds Record. 1.11 4-S.

CHICAGO, July 1.-Dick Welles set a new worlds record for six furlongs on a circular track at Washington park, running the distance in Ill 4-5. He carried 109 pounds. The former record was 1:12, held jointly by Lux Casta and Bummer. Dick Welles set the new mark under remarkable cir cumstances. He was almost left at the post. When the barrier flew up his head was turned and his rider, not ready. He was fully a second behind his field at the start The pace was ter rife, but Jockey Knight set out after the field. He closed the gap of about ten lengths slowly butssurely. He saved ground on the turns and took the rail after entering the stretch. He closed on the leaders at every stride and then hitched up with Tunnels, who looked like a winner. Dick Welles slowly Overhauled him and won by three-quar- ters of a length.

SHOT COMPTROLLER.
W. G. Hill Kills Love Because of Fan
 cied Wrongs.

AUSTIN, Tex, July 1.-Frenzied by supposed wrongs, W. G, Hill an ex-at- tache of the state comptroller's office, entered the private office of State Comptroller R. M. Love and killed him by means of two well directed bullets from a large caliber revolver. AS Hill turned to flee he was intercepted by Chief Clerk Stevens of the department and in the scuff1e which followed Hills revolver was accidentally exploded. The bullet entered HilPs abdomen, causing a wound from which he died three hours after the death of the man whose life he sought.
 As to what caused the shooting none can explain, other than that it was the act of a madman. Hill had been an employee of the comptroller's office for ten years preceding MT. Loves term of office. He was discharged by MT. Love when the latter took charge, and it is presumed that this fact preyed on his mind until he went insane. He went to the capitol, entered MT. Loves private of1ce,' spoke to him cheerfully, shook hands and, handing him a letter to read, sat down at the invitation of the comptroller.
 No sooner had MT. Love begun to read the letter than Hill sprang to his feet and fired two shots into the body Of MT. Love, one taking effect just above and the other Immediately be- low the heart. MT. Love screamed, dropped the letter and sprang forward toward his assassin, then gasped and fell forward.
 Love was given all medical attention possible, but died within an hour after the shooting.
 MT. Hill was quiet, gentlemanly man and never was known to be ad dicted to any bad habits. At the time of the shooting he was holding good position here in the city, so that dire want could not have prompted the shooting. It is the general opinion that he was insane. Immediately after the shooting and while Hill was still lying in the corridor a bottle of laudanum was taken from his pocket, and, reach ing for it, he said, 'Let me take that and die easy"
 This has led many persons to believe that he contemplated suicide follow ing his shooting of the comptroller. Both men leave families.

Embroidered Gowns.

The fad for embroidered gowns
brings many pretty fancies to the fore.
and woman who has an artistic sense
and is clever with her neeL.s can beau
tify her cotton gowns in any number
of effective ways.
Here. for instance. is a suggestion
for wash cambric that is simple and
yet has a wonderfully pretty effect:
Make a shirt waist costume of white
linen cambric. plating both the waist
and skirt, and then over the plaits
around the neck. across the bust. and
just below the hips place three gar
lands of colored flowers. Make them
in this way:
Take wash ginghams OF the colors
required-say a pale green and pale
pink-cut five petaled flowers of the
latter and heart shaped leaves of the
former; then. apart from the dress.
buttonhole stitch the edges with
coarse wash silk. This will make a
substantial trimming which may then
be sewed on the material in the way
suggested, connecting stems and ten
drills can be put in a running stitch
afterward with the green embroidery
silk.

him write a certain sentence with his
left hand. They should all write the
same sentence, and when II Is done
gather the papers and award a prize
TO the one that has done the best.
Then tack broad sheet OF white
paper to the wall. and have each
guest draw picture of an animal on

prize may be offered. too.
II your party is held In the day

balls at mark or pitching quoits
There are mary ways in which the
sport may be varied. and the awkward
efforts made with the left hand will
give the. players more enjoyment than
any game played in the ordinary way.
When the sport is over ask your

there the fun will be renewed. for
they must rely wholly on the left

A Hint From the cIeaner.

A cleaner gave away enough of his
secret for renovating materials TO
prove very valuable TO one woman.
II gasoline. naphtha, or benzine n the
cleaning fluid the amateur cleaner
finds often that the last state of the
cloth is worse than the first. Around
the spot will be ring of discoloration
that marks the stain more thoroughly
than did the original spot. To prevent
this the fabric should be cleaned with
a piece of the same goods, the cloth
rubbed lengthwise and with the weave.
Continue rubbing until the material is
perfectly dry. If these directions are
carefully followed. it is safe to clean
the most delicate materials.

Every mother knows that overalls
for her small boy or girl are an eco
