Thirty-fye persons were killed
Wednesday in two terrible disasters in
the United States. eighteen in Penn

The mining accident occurred in one
OF the shafts of the Delaware. Lacka-

about eight miles south Of Wilkes
barre, at Nanticoke. When the men
started to work eighteen entered the
lowering machine. A few feet below
the surface the steel cable of the car
riage, connected with the hosting en-
gine, broke. Instantly the heavy car
shot downward with frightful velocity
and 1t and the men were crushed at
the bottom of the shaft, several hun

Frantic efforts were made at once
to reach the men and rescue them If
any had survived. 1t was necessary
to construct temporary elevator,
however, and every one of the eigh-
teen miners was dead when their fell
low-workers reached the bottom Of the
shaft. Six feet of water was in the
bottom of the shaft, and the men who
were not killed by the fall were drown

chinery in the engine room going

READS FUTURE OF FINANCE.
An Ohio Farmer Gifted with Accurate
Foresight.

The remarkable way in which the
trade conditions of the present year were
foretold in December by Samuel Benner,
a farmer OF Dundas, Ohio, has created
rIuch comment among the manufacturers
of the country, particularly the steel
men, who have for years given much
weight to the prophecies made by the
farmer sage.
Benner has for many years been an
nouncing, year ahead of time, the trend
of trade, basing his prediction on the
proposition that periods Of finance and
trade move in cycles and that. having
once learned from the past the duration
of the cycles, it was the easiest matter
to foretell the probable course trade and
finance would pursue in the future. He
covers the conditions of steel, iron, grain
and provisions, and has been so success
full that steel men watch the predictions

MAN IN THE CABOOSE
JACK RUMSEY'S SECRET FOR
SECURING SLEEP,
A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck of His Nerves.

A Missouri Pacific Railroad Conductor
Tells How He Prevents the
Wreck of His Nerves.
A great deal of fatigue and anxiety is
housed up in the little red box that
swings at the tail end Of every freight
train and shares in every jolt of the
string Of heavy cars that precedes it on
the rails. The men in it are good, hearty
fellows who bear cheerfully the hazards
connected with the great problem of
transportation. They are astir night
and day ON a vast network of lines and
the sympathies of tens of thousands of
peaceful little homes go with them on
their runs. The great public must have
its supplies and these are the men who
must get them through at the cost even
Of their lives.
Mr.. Jack Rumsey, Of Council Grove,
Kansas, is an energetic, frank, good
natured member Of this brotherhood and
he bears a load Of worries that makes it
necessary for him to seek help to keep
his excited nerves from wearing him out.
He says:
What troubled me most was my in
ability to get sleep when the chance came
and most irritating sensitiveness of my
whole nervous system, growing out Of
the Irregularities and anxieties con-
nected with my daily work. Three or four
years ago clerk in the superintendent
office of the Missouri Pacific, at Osawa-
tonne, advised me to use DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People. / acted on
his advice and got help right away. Sol
keep them on hand all the time and
whenever the strain begins to tell on
me l take q few doses. They quiet
down my excited nerves and make is
possible for me to sleep just like child.
They are mighty good medicine for a
railroad man. That is the absolute truth.
as far as my experience goes, and I am
right glad to recommend them"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People
are unlike other medicines because they
act directly on the blood and nerves.
They are positive cure for all diseases
arising from impoverished blood or
shattered nerves. They are sold by all
dealers, or will be sent postpaid on re-
ceipt of price, fifty cents a box, or six
boxes for two dollars and fifty cents, by

Benner lays no claim to supernatural
power, basing his predictions solely on
lessons of the past. Addison Cammack,
one of the great traders in Wall street,
watched the predictions for many years,
and during the later years of his activity
in the market he was guided in his trans
actions by the predictions of the old
man. During the early eos it is said
that it was.the prediction of Benner that
cycle of high prices had come that
induced Cammack to undertake a CAM
paign which netted him $4,O0O,OOO. He
believed that Benner had gained a fore
sight into the economic laws governing
the world of trade.
When Benner gave out, in December,
his predictions for the present and the
coming he foretold just what has
happened.

Treaty With Germany.

Negotiations have been initiated for a
treaty of arbitration between Germany and
the United States. President Roosevelt
suggested to Baron Sternberg, the German
ambassador. that treaty of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Germany
would in his judgment be very desirable.
Ambassador Sternberg coincided with this
view and told the president that he would
inquire of his government what steps, if
any, it desired to take in the matter. Am
bassador Sternberg later called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt and informed him that the
government had expressed itself as entirely
agreeable TO the presidents proposition and
that he had been directed to open formal
negotiations for such treaty. These ne
gotiations will be conducted by Ambassador
Stenberg on the part of Germany and Sec
retary Hay on the part of the United States.

Wild Scene In French Chamber 4
Deputies.

A dispatch from Paris, France, says: The
chamber of deputies held tumultuous
session over renewed interpretations on the
subject of the policy of War Minister
Andre, alleging that he was personally
cognizant Of the system of spying upon
officials. During the time when the minis
ter was making his reply there was scene
Of intense confusion. He said that during
the Dreyfus affair some officers participated
in manifestations against President LOubet
and he cited other instances showing int0l-
erance and lack of discipline among officers.
The minister further declared that this was
fomented by political and clerical agitators.
During the maneuvers, he added, regi-
mental colonel had dared to replace the
tri-color by an ensign bearing the insignia
Of royalty. The war miniXer's declaration
caused wild demonstration, General Jac-
quey exclaiming that the minister lied.
The president of the chamber threatened
to centure General Jacquey, who withdrew
his words and the minister continued his
statement amid great excitement.
