For Piles, Burns, Sores.

Field and Farm says any man can sue
ceed on ranch in this country il he will
only saw wood and keep his expenses
within his income, providing he owns his
possessions in tho first place. This is a
very simple proposition but the most OF
our farmers have but little with which
to begin and are consequently always
staggering under the burden Of debt.
They must build home by inches as it
were, with their own labor and at the
same time support family. Under
such circumstances they will anavoid-
ably get in debt occasionally but the
thing to watch is to not become hope
lessly incumbent and to keep the family
credit as clean as hounds tooth. 1t is
best to go slow and build gradually.
Persistent effort will win out in the end
IL only the home builder has the pa
tience to toll on from year to year.

A Cure for Headache.

Any man, woman or child suffering
from headache, biliousness or a dull
drowsy feeling should take one or two Of
DeWitt's Little Early Risers night and
morning. These famous little pills are
famous because they are tonic as well
as pill. While they cleanse the system
they strengthen and rebuild it by their

How II Happened.
IN the main shaft of the mine l6 men
were being hoisted in a cage from the
sixth, seventh and eighth levels. When
the cage reached the surface the en-
gineer xor some unexplained reason,
was unable to stop the engine and the
cage with its load of human freight
was drawn up into the gallows frame,
where it became lodged temporarily.
The strain on the cable finally caused
II TO part, and the cage, released, shot
down the shaft with terrific speed. Two
of the occupants, l.. p Jackson and
James Bullock, had become entangled
in the timber rods near the top of the
gallows frame. Jackson was crushed
TO death by the sheave wheel falling
upon him. while Bullock had mar
velous escape from death but received
painful injuries. and was rescued from
his perilous position. The other men
were hurled to death down the 800
foot shaft"
All Fourteen Were Dead.
As soon as possible the shift boss and
number Of miners went down into the
mine through another compartment of
the shaft. They found all the men dead,
the bodies scattered at different points.
Arms and bodies had been torn, heads
crushed and clothing stripped from the
victims. From the 700-foot level to the
bottom the shaft was spattered with
blood, while here and there were found
pieces of flesh clinging to the projec-
tons. At the bottom of the shaft
stands 25 feet Of water and into this

the men into the water with IT,
