retired farmers. The origin of the fire
is unknown. The building was of

feet and extending back about $50
feet. To the main building were sew
eral additions, making considerable
fuel for the flames
Adjoining the livery barn on the west
is the Beloit lumber yard, and directly
across The street is the Chicago lumber
yard. Both Of these places are filled to
their utmost capacity with lumber. On
the north. directly across the street
from where the barn stood is located

men and six negroes were entombed
by an explosion in the Missouri, Kan
sas & Texas coal mine No. 10. four
ana four shifts of rescuers express
fear that the bodies may not be re-
covered for nearly a week
Various theories of the cause and
nature of the explosion are advanced.
The mine was a new one, operated by
Degnan & Mcconnell and the opening
of entries was being pushed cOntinu-
ously, three eight-hour shifts working
The shift which quit work at mid
night, according to Foreman W. M.
Ray, LETT the mine in good condition.
Gas could not have accumulated IN
the next hour to cause such a terrific
explosion. The force was apparent for
a distance of two miles on each side
Tim bers were torn aside and hurled
a great distance. The shaft was strip
ped bare and tons of earth piled into
the opening.
It is stated that a considerable
quantity of dynamite had been stored
convenient for use in opening the en-
tries. It is also stated that the retir-
ing shift, at IL o'clock, had LETT shot
hanging. It is suggested that the new
shift fred this shot poorly and touch
ed off the stored dynamite me
shaft is the only one in the W1iburton
district, all other mining being done
-in slopes. It is $50 feet deep, and the
plane on which the men were supposed
to be working was 500 feet north of
the bottom.
Foreman Steiner was not with his
men when the explosion occurred.
Bud Cole, a negro who worked on the
shift that left the mine at midnight
had met with a misfortune. a trip
cutting off one leg. Steiner had come
to the surface to look after the negro
and had barely touched the bottom
Of the shaft when the sound of the eX-
plosion was heard by the engineer.
The heels were torn from Steiner s
shoes and thrown to the top OF the
ground. A negro named Palmer owes
his life to having been discharged at
midnight when he reported to Fore
man Steiner for work.

SHE SUES Mr.. LOEB.
Miss Mae Wood Files Action Against
the Presidents Secretary.

Omaha + Nav Miss Mae Catherine
Wood, who created SO much trouble for
Senator Tom Plat, has sued Consul
General Wynne, William Loeb, secre-
tary to the president, and J. Martin
Miller, consul at Aix-la-Chapelle, for
SS5, 900 damages She charges that they
got possession of a manuscript book Of
hers that she cannot recover. The book
consists of a series of love letters writ
ten by Plat to her, and if published it
would have been called THE Love Let
tiers of a Boss"
In one of his letters the senator. re-
ferring to a luncheon at the White
House, said, Il expect to attend
luncheon at the White House today,
and will be obliged to endure that bull
dog grin for an hour"
Another letter read something like
this: Sweet and Lovely our letter
reconciled me to the election of Odell,
which occurred the following Tuesday
Pray for me; the prayers OF the angels
availeth much"
IN another letter he referred to a
carriage ride through Central park say
inb he hoped in the future ! could rae
in a chariot; that I had glorifled ana
made beautiful his carriage for MIN the
next time he should use it.
If Mr. Loeb changes his route,
Miss Wood said, land goes east through
Kansas, 1t viii show that he is afraid
of this case. But in that event l will
file suit in some other city where the
defendants can be found
And they need not think this one
suit is all have. I will soon file 9TH
ers that are indeed more sensational
than this one.
Another reason for fling this suit in
Omaha is that I am regularly IL
censed lawyer and was admitted to the
bar in Omaha. Here I can attend to
my own legal matters. When the case
comes to actual trial there will be some
lawyers of national reputation to assist
me"

SHAW is WORRIED.
He Finds a Large and Growing Treas
Ury Deficit.

Washington, May THE rapidly in
creasing treasury deficit is worrying
Secretary Shaw He called in Joseph S.
Mccoy, the actuary of the department,
who. after a little figuring, showed that
the deficit is now about S23 000. 900. The
secretary's estimate a year and a half
ago was that the deficit at the end of
this fiscal year would be $4,000, 900.
One year ago there was a surplus of
SO. 100000, and on June 3d. 1904, it was
about s13. 000, 900.
The deficit for next year is already
estimated at between $40, 900 and $780,
600 900.
The heavy deficit this year cannot be
charged to extraordinary expenses. The
only expenditures outside the usual
have been on account of the Panama
canal, and they aggregated less than
$1,000, 900. The deficit is due solely to the
fact that the revenues are not sufficient
to meet the ordinary expenditures.
OF the $17O, 600, 900 deposited in nation
al banks less than $50 600. 600 remains
and call is out now for the return to
the treasury of $27, 900. 900 of that sum.
These figures are being utilized by those
who urge revision of the tariff.

Auture prices will depend much on crop
prospects. Statisticians and crop experts
are predicting a winter wheat crop of
4t9,VVOJO8 bushels. The average crop of
winter wheat during the past five. years
mas been 3l0,000.000 bushels, and of spring

CORN-Corn holds its price well, con-

movement from the country is small and

mary receipts. 1t is hard to find much

corn states. If July corn kets down to 40c,
buy it.
