about 35 present. They chose these directors: Charles M. Beach, A. G. Barnes, Noble Bennitt, Phineas Clark, o. PreSspick, James Marsh and David B. Soule. The directors organized by electing these officers: President, Charles M. Beach; vice president, James Marsh; treasurer, Noble Ben nitt; secretary, David B. Soule. The sum of $12OO has been subscribed over and above the money put into the building. It is probable that Phineas E. Clark will be engaged as superin- tendent. A practical processor will be secured. With such representative men at the head of the enterprise, if the farmers now take hold and raise stuff, the success of the canning factory is practically assured.

Misfortune Followed Central M. E.
Church, Which Was Built of Stone
From cIergue's Big Power Canal
Loss Reaches $4,000.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Jan. 29.--
The handsome Central M. Z. church,
built of the stone from Clergue's big
power canal, is mass of ruins as the
result of an explosion Of the boiler,
which occurred at 5:45 Thursday af-
ternoon.
A man who happened to be stand
ing in the door OF his store when the
explosion occurred said that within a
minute from the. time of the explosion
the entire roof and inside Of the
church was roaring furnace. Ger
tain 1t Is that, although the fire de-
partment had but block to go when
they arrived at the scene their efforts
were worthless. The beautiful build
ing, which has only been fully COM
pleted within the past year, was then
a mass Of flames and beyond any hui
man efforts to save. The loss will
reach about $4,000, with but $4,000
insurance.
Ever since the church was built
there has seemed to be hoodoo hang

man working on the roof fell and was
killed, and after its completion Con.
tractor Howie committed suicide.

TWO PLANS PRESENTED.
Secretary Moody Recommends Nor,
Ships for the Navy.

secretary Moody Recommends More
Ships for the Navy. ,a.,.
Washington, January 2S.-Secretary
Moody concluded his recommendations
Wednesday before the house commit
tee on naval affairs. He presented two
plans prepared by the general board of
the navy as the program for next
year. The first was based on an ex-
penditure Of $34, 900, 900 and included
provision for one battleship, one ar
mored cruiser, three protected cruisers,
four scout cruisers, two squadron col.
liers and two submarine boats.
The second plan provides for an ex-
penditure of $30,000.000 and Is dupli.
cate Of the first program with the
elimination Of two Of the scout crius
ers.
The secretary recommended building
naval stations at Guantanamo, Cuba.
and Subig bay, p. l. The station In
Cuba ultimately Is to cost $4,000, 600
and the one In the Philippines $4,000
900. One million dollars Is asked this
year for the Guantanamo station and
little less than that amount for one In
the Philippines.
The secretary said that the appropri-
alton for submarine boats was not ex-
pended last year and he should recon-
mend that this amount be re-appro
priated.

coLoMBIA's PRESIDENT.
Gen. Reyes Without Doubt viii Be the
Next One.r afru Js

Washington, January A2S.--Informa-
th,n has reached here from New
York that Gen. Rafael Reyes, the
Colombian envoy, will san from that
city on Saturday next on the steamer
Valencia for Barranquilla, whence he
will proceed Immediately to Bogota.
Several Of the Colombians who came
to Washington to assist him will re
turn to Colombia with him.. including
Gen. Capina and Gen. Caballero. Since
Gen. Reyes's departure from Washing
ton there has been no communication
between him and the state depart
ment. HS
The most interesting piece of news
which will be communicated to Gen.
Reyes on his arrival at BarranQuilla
is the expected announcement Of his
election to the presidency of Colombia
The presidential electors meet in their
respective departments on the I'd o.
February for that purpose. Although
some opposition to Gen. Reyes has
developed no doubt exists among diplo-
mats in Washington as to the outcome.
The return Of Gen. Reyes to Colon
bia, 1t Is felt here, will have a bene-
fetal effect in restraining the lingo ele.
ment who still resent the action of the
United States on the Panama question.

GATEMAN TO BLAME.
Jury Renders Verdict on Railroad
Crossing Accident at Detroit.

jury henderS verdict on Railroad
Crossing Accident at Detroit.
Detroit, Mich, Jan. 29.-"We find
that said collision was caused by the
gross negligence of the gatekeeper of
the Grand Trunk railway in not clos.
ing the gates at said crossing before
the train approached it, together with
the fact that the conductor Of the
street car failed to see the approach
ing train"
Such are the words embraced in the
verdict Of the coroner's jury determ-
inging who is to blame for the col
lision between street car and
Grand Trunk train at the Gratiot av.
enue crossing on Jan. 10, and which
caused the death Of two persons
and injury Of many others.
The verdict was reached only after
hard days work, in which many wit
nesses were examined. 1t was literal.
ly a contest between the two corpora
tons whose tracks cross each other
each trying to lay the blame on the
other.
Since the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS But.
ler-was in the employ Of the Grand
Trunk railroad, the verdict lays the
blame to the road.
No arrests have yet been made.

The First SIS Bill.

The first IS greenback issued by our
government was in 1862, and ever since
1864, has been the heirloom of promi-
nent family. It's age has increased its
valce greatly. This is also true in re-
gard to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, It
was introduced fifty years ago, and be-
cause it positively cures stomach, liver
and bowel disorders it is valued more
highly than any other remedy. Those
who have once tried it always keep
bottle on hand to cure dyspepsia, nausea,
indigestion. dizziness, heartburn, in
somnia, chills, colds or malaria. Sickly
women, too, realize its wonderful value
as n health maker and regulator. Be
sure to try it. Your druggist will sup
ply you with the genuine, also give you
q copy of our 1904 Illustrated almanac.
Ask for it before the supply is ex-
hausted.

RECOVERING THE BODIES.
SorrowfuI Scenes Where Mine Die
aster Occurred.

Pittsburg, Jan. 2S.-Three days
have elapsed since the terrible catas-
trophe at the Harwick mine Of the AL
legheny Coal Co., and last night at
midnight seventy-one bodies had been
recovered and brought to the surface.
Only eighteen Of these have been
identified.
The day was one of horror in the
little village on the hill above the pit
mouth, but even while the blackened
bodies were brought from the top of
the shaft and taken on sleds to the
schoolhouse on the hill above, where
the undertakers were ready to receive
them, there seemed to prevail in the
community as a clutch, that repressed
their natural feelings of passionate
anxiety and sorrow, the grim realiza-
ton that there is still much work to
be- done before the full extent Of the
catastrophe has been realized.
The Allegheny Coal Co. last night,
in an official statement, positively ad-
mitted that all of the men who were
in the mine when. the explosion oc-
CURED are dead. There are III names
on the list, which does not include
Selwyn M. Taylor or Of the two men
who were on the tipple above the
mine shaft when the explosion came.
Nor does the list include the name of
Daniel Lysle of Castle Shannon, whose
body was found in the mine Wednes-
day morning. This brings the official
number of known dead up to TIA, but
the list may still be incomplete, as it
Is possible that some boys may have
gone into the pit to work under their
fathers directions, whose names have
not yet been ascertained.

the methods employed by the poor
commission made their report Thurs
day, and It has created quite a sensa-

sieners with gross neglect of duty, and
states that In many cases money due
the county for produce sold from the
county farm has been held In posses
sioa Of the commissioners long after
It should have been turned over to the
county treasurer. In other words, the
report charges the members of the
commission with having combined the
once OF county treasurer with that of
the commissioners.

st. Petersburg, January 2S.-The ex.
changes regarding the Russian re.
spouse to the Japanese note are still
progressing and the foreign Office here
announces that there Is no change in
the situation. The Japanese legation
does not credit the report from Toxic
that Japan has requested Russia to
hasten her reply. M. hurino, the JAP.
anese minister, has received no in.
structions on the ubject. On the con.
trary, he apparently realizes that the
delay Is consequent upon exchanges
between ST. Petersburg, Viceroy Alex.
Jeff and Baron De Rosen, the Russian
minister at Toxic.
M. Kurino reiterates his opinion that
Japan would not press Russia for a
reply.

without significance, saying in ex
