MEN BURIED IN MINE.
Explosion in Colliery Near Eldorado,
Iu.-Four Men Are
Missing.

Eldorado, ILL.,, Dec. 10.-Four men are
entombed in the Eldorado Coal & Coke
company's mine, with no hopes for their
rescue; four others are in their homes,
cut and burned, and only two escaped
unhurt from an explosion Friday which
wrecked the shaft and demolished the
upper works. Spurred on by the cries of
agonized wives and children, Patrick
Reed, mine boss, braved death in the
midst of gas to rescue the men. He
saved four. The missing men are Weed
Wilson, John Hines, Charles Carpenter
and ST Bourland. The explosion, the
cause of which is unknown, damaged the
machinery and the cage could not be
raised. Mine Boss Reed volunteered to
60 down to aid the men, and was lowered
in bucket He CROPPED his way through
the binding fumes and found the four.
The others are in the west entries and
could not be reached.

STOPPED BY THE CAR.
Baltic Squadron to Proceed No Fur
Their on Way to the Far
East

London, Dec. 10.-A dispatch to the
Express from st. Petersburg says def
mite instructions have been sent to Ad-
miral Rojestvensky, commander of the
Baltic fleet, not to proceed to the far
east. The car took the matter into his
own hands and Used the order, despite
the opposition of the grand dukes.
London, Dec. 9.-The Daily Tele-
graphs correspondent before Port Ar
thur telegraphs that all of the Russian
battleships and cruisers, together with
the gunboats Giliak and Fusadneck,
were sunk or destroyed, and that only
the torpedo boat destroyers remain
intact. According to a special dis
patch from Toxic and Shanghai, CIV
ing unofficial reports, the crews of all
the Russian war vessels in the harbor
of Port Arthur were landed, and ap
parently no effort was made to move
the vessels. The Japanese will now
turn their attention to the torpedo
boat destroyers, and when these have
rected against steamers and transports
in the harbor.
Toxic, Dec. 10.-The destruction of the
Russian fleet marks the end of serious
fighting at Port Arthur. The garrison
will be simply starved out. The main
object of the siege was the destruction
of the fleet. There will be no necessity
to keep large army before Port Arthur.
1t is believed that at least $4,000 troops
will be sent to reinforce Oyamas army
on the Shakhe. 1t is believed that 80, 900
men, or even a smaller number can carry
on the starvation siege of the remnants
of StoessePs garrison at Port Arthur.
Russian prisoners report that the food
supply of Port Arthur is insufficient.
The men subsist on short rations of
bread made of mixture of -four and
coarser grains, while the officers get
horse flesh twice week. Dysentery and
typhoid, the prisoners say, are prevalent.
Owing to the bad weather supply of fresh
vegetables cannot be obtained, and the
supply of timed meats was finished a
month ago. The prisoners are well
clothed but terribly emaciated.

LAWMAKERS MEET.
Opening of the Last Session of the
Fifty-Eighth Congress Is
Very Brief.

Washington, Dec 6.-The last session
of the Fifty-eighth congSess assembled
Monday and the time of both bodies was
devoted to the usual formalities of open
ing day. Senator Frye presided in the
senate. A committee was appointed to
wait on the president and inform him
that congress was ready to receive any
communication he had to send. Reso-
lutions of respect to the memory of the
late Senators Hoar and Quay were
adopted, and the senate, as a further
mark of respect, adjourned. Practically
the same programme was followed in
the house over which Speaker Cannon
presided. Between 300 and 400 bills,
mostly private measures, were intro
duced. A bill was introduced providing
for the appointment of a special COM
mission to inquire into and ascertain the
amounts of money expended by both
parties at all elections for presidential
electors from 1892 to 1904 inclusive.

DEED OF JEALOUS MAN.
Husband Kills Wife and Her EN-
ployer and Commits Suicide
at Rochester, Ind.

Rochester, Ind, Dec. 7.-Driven from
home by her husbands brutality, Mrs.
Wilson Burns sought refuge for her
self and babe with the family of Joseph
Grippe, neighbor. Grippe, who is an I'M
married man, gave Mrs. Burns employ
ment as servant to his aged mother.
with whom he lived. Burns became i'm
pressed with the thought that Grippe had
alienated his wifes affections, and
made frequent threats against both.
Tuesday night, he crept up to the Grippe
home and fired the contents of shot
gun through a window, killing Mrs.
Burns as she sat at the table eating sup
per. A second shot killed Grippe. Mrs.
Braman, who also lived at the Grippe resi-
dence, was badly wounded by scattering
shot. Burns then went to the home of
his sister and blew off the top of his own
head.

The COUNTRYS FINANCES
EXTRACTS FROM REPORT OF SEC
RETARY SHAW.
Falling Off in Our Customs Receipts
Our Currency System Declared
to Be Safe.

Washington, Dec. S.-Leslie NJ. Shaw,
secretary of the treasury, in his annual
report on the finances of the govern
ment, says the total receipts from all
sources for the year ended June 80,
1904, were 1854 .214,373, of which $261,
274,56 was from customs and $685., 9O4,-
119 from internal revenue. Customs re-
ceipts for the fiscal year 1904, says the
secretary, were $23,0O0,000 less than in
the previous year. While there was a
further reduction during the early
months Of the present fiscal year, these
receipts are now increasing, and there
Is no reason to believe the revenues for
the year from this source will be less
than in 1904.
The falling off in 1904 over that of
the previous year was due more large
ly to abnormal conditions in 1908 than
to depression in 1904. There was COL
lected, for instance, in duties on iron
and steel and manufactures thereof,
$17,000,000 during 1903, and only $9,OOO,-
900 during the last fiscal year. This
difference Is accounted for by demand
for iron and steel products in excess OF
the capacity of American factories dur
ing the former year. which is not like
ly to be repeated.
Our currency system, though some
what complicated, has been proved safe
and reliable under every practical test.
The exchange Of gold for all forms OF
money issued or coined by the govern
ment on demand, authorized by act Of
congress approved March IA, 1900, re-
moves every suggestion Of public dis
trust or doubt. The system has one
recognized weakness, however; 1t is
nonelastic. To meet a demand for pa
per money Of small denominations it is
recommended thatnational banks be per-
mitted to issue a larger proportion Of
their authorized circulation in denom-
nations of five dollars, and that author
ity be given to issue one-eighth of the
aggregate volume of sold certificates in
denominations Of ten collars.
Among the recommendations offered
are the following:
Federal law governing trust COM
panies.
More officers for revenue cutter serv-
ice.
Provision for retiring members of life
saving crews with pay, and assistance
for widows and children of those lost in
the line of duty.
New vessels for revenue cutter serv-
Ice.
Appropriation of $4,000 for prelim-
mary work in the construction of the
proposed Hall of Records, at Washing
ton.
Reorganization of the customs serv-
ice, to prevent losses in maintaining
ports Of entry at which expenses ex-
coed receipts.
Registration of all customs brokers.

1t may be surprising but doubtless
gratifying to the public to know that
the Bible is still the worlds best-sell-

standing. Recent reports show that
the British Bible society has since its
establishment distributed 1S0,000.000

The entire diamond output of South
Africa is exported from the Cape of
Good Hope to London; yet, strange
to say, it finds no place in the British
official publications showing the i'm.
ports into the United Kingdom. After
South African diamonds leave the
Cape of Good Hope all official trade
record of them seems to be lost. The
only record Of the exports of these

all over her that she could not rest day
or night. The doctor said that she could
not live.
"Then an advertisement led me to try
Dodd's Kidney Pills and they helped her
right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodd's Kidney Pills were q

service day and night supplying cisterns
