PROBABLY THIRTY DEAD.
Fifty Miners entOmbed by Explosion IN
Letter Mine at ZeIQIer.

Benton, ILL.,, April 3.-Some fifty mi
ners were entombed today in Joseph
Letters mine at Zeigler, by terrific
explosion of gas. Thus far fifteen
bodies have been found and more than
thirty are said to be dead. The explos-
ion, ills said, was due to the fact that
the Letter mines are not worked on Sun
day, thus allowing gas to accumulate in
the lower workings.
When between 35 and 40 miners had
descended into the mine today to resume
work, terrific explosion blew the
mouth of the mine high into the air. One
of the steel cages was blown to the sur
face from the bottom of five hundred
foot shaft.
The shock of the explosion was felt at
Benton, twelve miles northeast of Zeig-
Ter, 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 sew
erely injured at the mouth of the shaft
in which the explosion occurred.
TIVE 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
air shaft. This has hindered the work
of aiding the entombed men to such an
extent that when darkness fell tonight,
only three bodies and one injured man
had been brought to the surface. These
bodies were found forty feet from the
bottom of the air shaft, and this for
many hours was as far as the rescuers
were able to penetrate the shaft.
A committee of union miners from
Duquoin and other neighboring mining
towns, headed by District President
Morris, hastened to Zeigler soon after
the explosion occurred and offered their
aid.
The bodies of the dead are so black
ened that they cannot at once be iden-
tilted. Rolla Campbell is the injured
miner brought out of the shaft, and it
is said that he cannot live.
Campbell is conscious, but he is un-
able to give any explanation Of the acci-
dent.
C. E. Childress. a striking Zeigler
miner, last October predicted in a print
ed article that an explosion was likely
to occur on account of what 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 occur
red between strikers and non-union
miners.
An all day investigation tends to show
that the catastrophe was due to the ac-
cidential explosion of accumulated gas.

The RUSSIAN
JAPANESE WAR
Intense Suffering Among the Sick and
Wounded, and the Families Of
Deceased Soldiers
Relief Committee Composed of Many Prom
inent Citizens, With The Franklin
Trust Company as Treasurer, Ap-
pealS for Aid.

Touching appeals from Christian
workers in the Far East have come to
prominent citizens of the United States,
imploring aid for the sick and wounded
soldiers of both armies and the multi
tude of destitute widows and orphans
of soldiers killed in the war.
Rev. Y. Honda, principal of the Aoya-
ma Theological School at Toxic, Japan,
in recent letter says; "How long
this distressing condition OF things will
last we cannot say. The people are
doing their best and every charitable
agency is taxed to the utmost, but so
numerous have the impoverished fami-
lies become that our means of immed-
late relief are utterly inadequate. Could
some general fund be raised for this
noble purpose, and missionaries on the
ground be furnished with the means Of
distributing and alleviating the distress
of these families, it would indeed be a
precious gift, and | assure you never be
forgotten.
We may not help beligerents, but we
may help the suffering and distressed.
Fhe Red Cross of Pity is neutral in
every cline, and the claims of helpness
children are a challenge to Christian
love and benefcence the world over.
In response to the moving appeals
thus coming from Christian workers in
Japan, the Japanese Relief Fund has
been organized to obtain the help need
ed, and all funds contributed will be dis
tributed through the Evangelical Alli@
ance of Japan, under the oversight Of
Bishop Harris, who is now in that coun-
try.
The Executive committee composed
of Hon. Seth Low, Bishop Greer, Bishop
Harris, Chas. Cuthbert Hall, D. D. W.
R. Huntington, D. D.; DIR. Newell
Dwight Hills, Geo. H. Southard, DR..
VIM. Elliott Grifis, and B. F. Buck,
Secretary, request contributions, large
or small be sent to the Franklin Trust
Company, Treasurer, No. 14O Broad
way, New York City.
About $18,OOO,OO has already been
contributed for this purpose, $lO.OOO.OO
of which has been forwarded to Japan
for distribution.

MONTAGUE OPENS CAMPAIGN
Challenges Senator Martin to Meet Him
In Debate to Show the People What
He Has Done.

Richmond, Va, April 3.-Governoi
Montague opened his campaign for the
Senatorship at Spotsylvania Courthouse
today, speaking to 400 people.
Lieutenant Governor Willard anc
Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson also spoke.
CHALLENGE TO MARTIN.
Governor Montague said Senator Mar
tin had never made a PUBLIC speech,
never written a public article and never
held public Office, when he was elected
Senator; that General Hunton was dis
placed by the inexperienced and the un-
known.
He said that he challenged Martin to
meet him in debate to show the people
of Virginia what he had done.
"He has not originated any measure
of Importance and has not supported
any except by his vote.
QUALIFICATIONS FOR A SENATOR.
"There is no need for parliamentary
form in the Senate. Human liberty
has never been perfected by silence.
1t requires that a man should sleep in
the open and work in the open. This
Senator Martin has not done.
1--WE do not need press and depart
ment runner in the Senate, but we dc
need a Senator.

Death of a Venerable Lady.

On Tuesday night at one o'clock Mrs.
Polly Moore died at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. Joseph S. Moss, in Taze-
we'll aged eighty-two years. Her death
had been expected for more than week
and was no surprise to her family and
friends. She was the widow of the late
William Moore, of the historic Moore
family of Abbs Valley that was massa-
cred by the Indians, with the exception
of James Moore. He was the father of
William Moore and for a long time he
was held captive by the Indians.
About sixty years ago the deceased
was married to William Moore, her
maiden name being Barns. For more
than thirty years she had been almost a
helpless cripple from rheumatism; and
for tWepty-one years she had been con-
fined to her bed, Through all these
years of afliction and physical suffering
her mind remained clear and strong and
her Christian character firm and beau
tiful.
Mrs. Moore is survived by three sons,
Messrs. J. c., w. L. and o. B. Moore;
and four daughters, Mrs. S: j, Mus
tard, Mrs. R. 7. Higginbotham, Mrs,
Joseph s. Moss and Mrs, W, A.
Davidson. She is also survived by
two brothers, Messrs. Clinton and
John Barns; and three sisters, Mrs.
Nancy HARRISON, Mrs. D. B. Baldwin,
and Mrs. A. J. Copenhaver.
For more than sixty years Mrs. Moore
had been a member of the Methodist
Church, and she died as she had lived
strong in her Christian faith,
The remains were taken yesterday
afternoon 70 the old home of the deceas-
ed in Abbs Valley, where funeral SER
vices and the burial will take place to-
day.

officials Driven From NJ, Mia by the Heat

Manila, April 9.-Gov. Wright and
Vice Gov. Ide, with their families, are
the first of the officials to leave the
city to escape the intense heat. They
have gone to Baguet, where the seat OF
government will be located until cooler
weather has set III again. The men,
bers of the Philippine Commission and
the clerks of the various departments
will follow this week.
Every one who is able to do so is leav-
ing the city. Dozens of persons have
started for Japan. The cost of living
at Baguet Is high, and consequently the
place is not popular except among the
officials.

HOME MISSION MATTER.
Mrp. H, 6, Peery, Editor

These Dos and Dont's Of supply
work are taken from leahet prepared
by Mrs. Chas. H. Carson, of the North
ern H. M. S.:
Do you do supply work
Do you have three or four of the most
energetic and enthusiastic women in
your auxiliary as supply committee?
Do you communicate with Mrs. j. II.
Yarbrough, Nashville, Tenn, our su-
perintendent of supplies, and receive
instruction how to proceed?
Do you write the preacher that you
are to send him barrel or box and that
you will notify him when it is shipped?
Do you do the same when you are
planning to send to a Home and Indus
trial School?
Do you put card in the top Of each
barrel or box telling whence it comes
and conveying your good wishes?
Do you paint the address on the bar
rel? Cards tackled on are often torn off
en- route.
Do you pray over the box as well as
work for it?
Do you report each box sent off CIV
ing value Of same?
And now for the Dont's:
Don't let your supply work interfere
with your cash gifts to other lines OF
work in the Society.
Don't forget the claims of your own
conference institutions.
If you do not hear within reasons
able time after notifying the preacher
that his barrel has been shipped, send
him postal card, also one to the pre-
siding elder, and have the freight agent
send out tracer.
Don't forget that freight trains travel
slowly,
Don't be discouraged if you find real
ingratitude, which is very often the
case.
Don't forget that many frontier
preachers would be obliged to abandon
their work but for help received from
the Woman's Home Mission Society.
Don't forget that we are carrying on
the splendid work for the glory God and
for the relief and uplifting of our fellow
men.
Let us never relax our efforts to do
our best.

IMPORTANT WORK
OF SUPERVISORS
Architect Employed to Make Plans and
Superintend Construction Of Jail
TO Be A MODERN BUILDING
The Britain Property Purchased by County
and Will be Annexed to Court House
Square.

The Board of Supervisors of Tazewell
county met on last Friday and Saturday,
but did most of it's work on Saturday.
Among the important matters transact
ed were the following:
VIM. E. Shuhlebarger, an architect,
was employed to make plans for the
new jail and superintend its construc-
ton. The plans will be furnished next
Saturday, the 9Th inst, and the jail
will be built by force account, except
the stone work which will be let to con-
tract. The building will be erected on
the Southwest corner of the public
square, in the rear Of the court house.
1t will be modern in all its appointments
and large enough to answer all demands
in the coming years. Arrangements
will be made to heat the new Jail with
steam, using the same furnace for both
it and the court house.
Another very important matter trans
acted by the Board was the purchase for
the county of the Major Britain prop
erty, just west of the court house square,
The purchase price was $4,000 cash.
This is very valuable addition to the
county property and greatly increases its
frontage on Main Street. The rear
part of the Britain lot will be thrown
open and added to the hitching lot now
in rear of the court house lot, and the
alley running from Main street between
the two properties will be closed and a
broad alley opened up between the Brit
tain property and the Moore property
which adjoins it on the west side. The
purchase of the Britain property GER
tainly was judicious act on the part of
the Board and will greatly enhance the
value of the court house property.
The improvement will also be great
to the town, which the people of the
county ought not to regret. There is a
disposition on the part of some persons
to think that the people in town have
no substantial interest in the county
property and contribute nothing toward
its purchase or support. This is great
mistake. A large sum in taxes is col
lected every year in the town which
goes to the county for the purpose of
keeping up and repairing the public
buildings. The citizens of the town
contribute as literally to these things as
any others in the county.
In addition to the above important
work the Board audited number of
claims against the county. No disposi-
ton was made of the old jail or the
vacant lot just north of that building
ing. Several bids were made for the
vacant lot.
The Board also opened the bids for
medical attention to small pox cases;
and it was found that DR.. Williams, of
Richlands, was the lowest bidder for
Maiden Spring District, DR.. Crockett,
of Tazewell, the lowest bidder for Jeffer-
sonville District and Dir, Pyott, of Tip
top, the lowest bidder for Clear Fork
District.
Tazewell county now has a Board of
Supervisors composed of excellent men,
who seem anxious to guard carefully
the interests of the county. The Board
adjourned to meet again on the 10Th
inst.

LEAVE MADAGASCAR.
The Russian Second Pacific Squadron
on Its Way to VIadiVostok.

St. Petersburg, April 9.-A letter
from Vice-Admiral RojestVensky to his
wife which has been received here, in
dicates that the departure of the sec
ond Pacific squadron from Madagascar
waters is final and that it is now on the
way to Vladivostok. In the letter the
admiral wrote that the sailing of the
squadron had been fixed for March 10,
but naturally he avoided mention of the
route which it was intended to follow on
the voyage eastward. The admiralty
yesterday admitted knowing of the in
tention of the admiral and stated that
no contrary orders had been sent him,
1t is understood that a rendezvous with
Vice-Admiral Nebogatoff's division of
the Baltic squadron is not contemplated.

Washington, April president
Roosevelt has completed the reOrgani'
zation of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, and the names of the members
will be made public Monday morning
So far as the facts arc concerned, they
could be made public now, but Secretary
Taft will not return to Washington un-
til Sunday afternoon, and it is desired
that he shall be consulted before the
announcement is made.
TO HEAD COMMISSION.
Theodore P. Shonts, president of the
Toledo, St. Louis and Western Railroad,
is to head the commission. He today
notified the President that he would ac-
cept the offer made to him.
Mr.. Shonts came to Washington last
night and conferred with William Mel
son Cromwell, Secretary Morton and
Colonel Edwards, the head of the In
sular Affairs Bureau of the War Depart
ment. He went to the White House
today with Colonel Edwards and had a
long conference with the President, who
told him some of the difficulties under
which the old commission had worked.
Mr.. Shonts had little to say on leaving
the White House, except to admit that
he would accept the tender made to
him.
1t is understood that the President
will fix his salary at large figure, to
compensate him, as far as possible, for
the financial sacrifice he probably is
making in leaving his position.
Horace G. Burt, former president OF
the Union Pacific road, who was talked
of as the head of the new commission,
will not have place on the body.
WILL OUTLINE DUTIES.
Mr.. Shonts is to have another confer
ence with the President, at which the
situation in the canal region will be
talked over in detail. The President
desires a full talk with the new execu-
tive head of the commission. At this
conference it will be determined where
the line will be drawn between the
executive head and the chief engineer.
The President will outline the duties
that are to be performed by each, and
will try to arrange matters so that there
will be no conflict.
Mr.. Shonts was born in Crawford
county, Pennsylvania, and has been in
the railroad business since 1881. He
has been suceessively general superin-
dent, general manager and president OF
the Toledo, st. Louis and Western Rail-
road. He is a graduate of Monmouth
College Illinois } and a hrother-in-law
of John Drake, partner Of John W.
Gates.
