MIR. SCHWAB STAYS
But Late President of Gar
 negie Co. is Assistant
Made Known That a Million Dollar Job Had Been Going Begging. Prick Declined l..

New York. June 30.-Reports prevail ent for months past that Charles M Schwab would retire from the presiden- cy of the United States Steel corpora ton eliminated today in the appoint ment as assistant to the president w. E. Corey, president of the Carnegie Steel company.
 The annuncement was made by Richard Trimble, secretary of the fin ance committee, in the following form:
 Tn consequence of the continued ill., health of the president, he has re- quested the appointment of an assist ant to perform the active duties of the president, and at today's meeting of the finance committee w. E. Corey, president of the Carnegie Steel com pany, was appointed to such position .''
 The announcement of Mir Corey's appointment occasioned no surprise in financial circles, where it had been a matter of common knowledge that at least one important change was pend ing in the personnel of the steel cor porations affairs.
 The finance committee of the steel corporation is dominated according to popular belief by MT. Morgan and his friends. One of its leading members is Fl. C. Prick. who was induced by MT. Morgan to accept d place on the committee. The strongest pressure was brought to bear upon MT. Prick in March last to accept the presidency of the corporation, but MT. Prick reso- lutely declined. None of the officials of the steel corporation would discuss MT. Corey'S appointment or the causes that led to it.

CrOwding About a Wyoming
 Mine Entrance
HISTORY OF THE STATE
Contains No Record Of Another Such d Horrible Event-TwO Hundred Men Are Probably Victims of Fire Damp.

Hanna. Wyo., June 30.-Probably the worst disaster in the history of Wyo- ming occurred at this place at 10 o'clock today when a terrific explosion of fire damp in U. P. mine No. 1 shut off the means of escape of 200 men who were working in the pit The fire which inn mediately broke out is defying the eff forts of rescuing party and there is little hope of saving any of the men.
 Twenty-eight bodies of those who were working nearest the mouth of the mine have been brought out All of them are horribly mangled, some still showing bare evidences of life
 The scenes at the mine are heart rending, wives and children of men who are known to have been inside eagerly hang about the shaft. kept only by cooler heads from plungins into the dark abyss
 The Union Pacific railway, which owns the mines, has all of its extra employees working with might and main to rescue the imprisoned men. The flames seem to be abating and there is hope of getting most Of the bodies cut by morning. So tense is the excitement that none seem able to say how the disaster could have occurred. but the supposition is that some careless miner allowed a lamp to come in contact with fire damp.

BIT HIM If It Had Been a Bear.

| Sometimes it is good to be in posi- tion where you can turn around to your l shelves and take down food that is a rebuilder and life saver. A prominent grocer of Murrysville. Pa, had heard so many of his customers praising the good GrapeN Nuts that he finally gave it trial himself. He says: ' For sev- eral years up to 16 months ago. I was hardly fit for business from indiges- tion which also affected my head. My brain was dull and I could hardly keep my books.
 "Cne day I heard one of my custom CTS praising the food Grape Nuts so highly that l wondered if it would fit my case, so l took a package from the shelf and said that I would use 1t and even if it failed I would not he much the loser.
 But before I had finished that one package such a change came over mo that l thought it wonderful and by the time three packages had been eaten I had changed so you would not believe 1t if l told you about it. My head grew clear and my mind .5trong and my memory was very much improved and l was we'll in every respect. I can only give you faint idea of all the good the food has done me. It is all I eat for supper nowadays and the rest of my family think as much of it As do Truly it is a great food and if it were not great food it would nof have done 50 much good and have such tremendous sale in my store" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Greek.

DANGER OF DFWfYS
Exaggerated Says Witness
 for Settlers
Testimony in Application for Admis- sion to Bail Shows a Dangerous Smouldering in Western Kansas.

Topeka, Kan. June 30.-The last tes- timony in the application of the Dew eys for admission to bail on the charge of killing the Berry family was heard today. By the end of the week tho testimony will be given to the supreme court by Special Master Hamilton.
 The attorneys for the state secured many answers today which tended to show that the supposed danger of mob violence to the Deweys was greatly ex- aggerated. c. F. Butler the last wit ness to be examined in the case. is a ranch owner who was actively inter- ested in the fight which the settlers made against the Dewey ranches. He attended the various meetings of set tiers and went with the committee of eight to present the grievances of the settlers to the Deweys
 Senator Hessin~ asked MT. Butler whether there was not a body of horse men who came part of the way with the committee of eight to back up their demands which were made in the office Of Chauncey Dewey.
 Yes, theree were some more down in the canyon was the reply.
 How many"
 About twenty-five"
 Were they armed?"
 Some of them were"
 After much hesitation MT. Butler ad- mitted that Daniel P Berry. Alpheus Berry and Birch Berry were with the committee of eight. Three things were demanded by the settlers committee one, that the Deweys should build fences to protect the settlers crops. another that the Dewey riders should be disarmed. and a third. that the war rants for the arrest of the Berry boys be withdrawn.
 Did not Chauncey Dewey agree to everything except withdrawing the asked Mir. Hessin
 He would not give us d definite said Butler.

ANOTHER AND WORSE STORY

Omaha. Neb.. June BOA special to the World-Herald from Hanna. WyO- ming, says:
 At 10:S0 a. m. today an explosion of fire damp in mine No. 3, of the Union Pacific Coal company. snuffed out the lives of 234 men. injured scores Of oth- CTS and caused the destruction of q vast amount of property, The mine was not fired. as stated in the early re- ports, but the explosion was terrific and completely shattered the timbers of the main shaft and numerous en- frances, filled the workings with de- bris, and those of the miners that were not killed outright by the explosion were buried alive. The explosion was heard for many miles around and at tracted people from the adjoining set dement's. Huge timbers and railroad iron were hurled from the mouth of the shaft a distance of two and three hun dred feet.

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY. capital stock $5O,O0O.OO (5,OOO shares par value $10.OO per share), is being or ganized to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed, but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men from whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1,250 shares at $12-50 per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such property would be fioated on a million dollar capitaliza- tion. Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commis- sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock will be used in purchasing a mill, con- centration and cyanide plant, so that the mine will immediately become d producer and dividend payer It is in fact. ground floor" opportunity.
 In 1900 I demonstrated that the old Cobre Grande Co., cn a capitalization of half million, could earn net profits of $1,5OO.0O per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines CO. will ex- ceed 90 per cent of the capitalization.
 I shall be at the mines for several days but can be reached by addressing me at 42 N. Center St.

TIE REscuE WORK

Superintendent r.. $. Brooks and q large force Os men went to work with q will to remove the debris from the shaft and reach the entombed miners. Their progress into the mine was blocked by the foul gases, and several times they were forced to return 10 the surface. All day the rescuing party worked. the force being increased from time to time by the arrival of ranch men and others from nearby settle ments and by those of q relief train sent out from Rawlins which arrived about o'clock in the afternoon
 About l o'clock this afternoon four men were taken out alive, and a half hour later they were followed by forty two others. Many were unconscious and had to be carried from the work ings. Some were injured, but none fatally. Several are in a critical con dition. but it is believed that all will recover. Two hundred and eighty-two men went down in the mine at o'clock this morning and up until a late hour tonight only forty-eight have been ac- counted for. Of this number two are dead.
 It was some time after the explosion occurred that the first man was brought
 
 others until 1 o'clock when the last were brought out. The rescuers were unable to penetrate further into the mine until additional openings had been made to permit fresh air to reach the lower levels and clear away the foul gases.
 Horses and scrapers were put al work hauling debris away from the shaft. and cars were pushed down the incline, loaded and hauled back up the tiple and dumped. The work is progressing slowly owing to the narrow space in which the rescuers are compelled to op- crate. but by daylight the mine should be opened sufficiently to permit of deep explorations and the rescue of the dead bodies.
 Late tonight q party of rescuers reached four mules that were alive and this caused hopes to arise in the breasts of the tired workers and the anxious women and children gathered around the shaft. It is d faint hope. however, for experienced mine bosses and miners say tbat when the impris- Oned men are reached all will be found dead. Some of the miners that escaped said i they saw twenty dead bodies in entry No. r. They reported that many of the ! men were crazed by the explosion and :!

TEN YEARS IN OFFICE
He Killed the Man Who Let Him Out
 and Died Himself.

Austin. Tex. June 30.-Frenzied by supposed wrongs. w. G. Hill. an ex- attache Of the state comptrollcr's office. today entered the private office of State Comptroller II. NJ. Love and killed him by means of two bullets from a large caliber revolver.
 As Hill turned to flee he was inter- cepted by Chief Clerk Stevens of the department. who engaged him in a scuffie. during which Hills revolver was accidentally exploded. The bullet entered Hills abdomen. causing a wound from which he died this after noon.
 As to what caused the shooting none can explain other than it was the act Of a madman. Hill had been an em- plcye in the comptroller's office for ten years preceding Loves term of office. He was discharged by Love when the latter took charge, and it is presumed that this fact preyed upon his mind.
 Today he went to the capitol, enter ed Loves rivate flee spoke to him chcerfully, shook hands and handing him a letter to read sat down at the invitation Of the comptroller No soon- CT had Love begun reading the letter than Hill sprang to his feet and fired two shots at Love. one taking effect just above, the other immediately be- low the heart.
 Love screamed and dropped the letter and sprang half forward towards the assassin, then gasred and fell back wards. Hill turned to make for the door. He was intercepted by Clerk Stevens, who grappled with him and was wrestling with him when Hilrs pistol was accidentally discharged, the bullet entering Hilrs abdomen.
