Albert j. Dabney, Lieutenant u. s.. ",
writes from Washington, D. c., as fol-
lows:
"After the use Of two bodies Of Pc.
runs ! an fully Convinced that his a
good remedy and ! can conscienfiously
recommend your medicine to anyone
who Is In need of Q substantial fonic.
II Is also . very effective cure for ca.
fanrh." ALBERTJ J. DABNEY
Itisrare indeed that two bottles of Pc
runs is not sufficient TO convince anyone
that Peruna is good remedy. Once in
the household Peruna generally stays.
More than one-hslf our ills are due To
eatarrh. By catarrh is not meant sim
ply catarrh Of the nose or head, but ca
tarrh Of the lungs, stomach, in fact,
every organ of the body.
Almost every disease begins af 6rsf
with catarrhal condition Of some n1n-
cous membrane. A few doses of Pc.
runs In the beginning Is sure to pre-
vent much sickness.
Peruns acts as q fonic because hpro-
duces healthy mucous membranes In
the stomach and digestive organs. Ii
Immediately begins to brace . person
up because II enables the digestive
organs to do their duty properly.

accident at Letters Mine Laid to
AccumuIated Gas.

Benton, Ill, April 3-Some fifty miners were
entombed to-day in Joseph Letters mine at
Zeigler by a terrific explosion of gas, and II Is
probable that thirtyq of the buried men are
dead. Thus far four bodies have been found

that the Letter mines are not worked Sunday.
thus allowing gas to accumulate in the lower
workings.
When between thirty-ive and forty-five min
ers had descended into the mine to-day to re-
sumo work. terrific explosion blew the works
at the mouth of the mine high into the air One
of the steel cages was blown to the surface
from the bottom Of 500 foot shaft. The shock
of the explosion was felt at Benton. twelve miles
northeast of Zeigler. A teamster driving along
a road half a mile from the mine was covered
with falling cinders. and debris covered the floor
of his wagon half an inch Deep
One miner was killed and four were severely
injured a, the mouth Of the shaft in which the
explosion occurred. The work of rescue was
begun at once by miners. who were arriving
when the explosion took place But the main
shaft was demolished so that rescue work has
to be carried on through the airshaft.
This has hindered the work Of aiding the en-
tombed men to such an extent that when dark
ness fell tonight only three bodies and one In
jured man had been brought to the surface.
These bodies were found forty feet from the
bottom Of the air shaft and this IS as rar as tue

he termed improper ventilation Of the shafts.
There was much excitement among miners
when the accident became known because there
had been a strike OF long duration and many
conflicts had occurred between strikers and nom

sion of accumulated gas.

bought the Jewett mansion, at No, 3OS North
St this city It is understood that he paid
about $4,000 or $4,000 for the place. and the
real estate men in Buffalo say that the place is
worth between three and four times that
amount General Greene bought it at a fore
closure sale The Jewett house was built by
Josiah Jewett. and it cost $11 600 to finish one
room in the house.
Just about the time that General Greene
bought the house the announcement was made
that he had been appointed general manager Of
the Ontario Power Company. No definite
nouncement was made at the time however.
that he would keep the place permanently The
announcement, therefore. that General Greene
intends TO live in Buffalo hereafter. undoubted-

will include examination of officers of the So

1t Will probably disclose officially what was
learned yesterday. that Gage E. Tarbell, second
vice president OF the society, and head OF its
agencies. on the day he entered the fight to oust
Mr. Hyde. sold out all his commissions on future
policies for S135.OOO. This transaction. an
agreement between Mr.. Tarben and President
Alexander. was never passed on by the execu-
tive committee or any other official body Of the
society.
Conference followed conference on both sides
yesterday. The situation is now practically
where it was before any naturalization plans
had been agreed on. President Alexander and
his adherents are working tooth and nail TO
oust Mr. Hyde. He is beginning a desperate
fight not only to retain his place in the society.
but to clear himself Of the charges brought
against his business career and his personal
character.

about that and the policyholders' committee de-

to that, and made other concessions. Now you
refuse to assent to them. What are you going
to do about naturalization? What answer are
you going to make to the Crimmins committee?"
