tested. This was decided at con

April | was the day set by Treas,

the bids for the 100000 worth of
bonds. There were eight bids from
bankers and bond brokers in various
parts Of the country, including New
York, Boston, Topeka and Wichita.
Seven of the bidders wanted the en-.
tire issue, and one asked for half of
IL, All of the bids were conditioned
on a favorable opinion by the attor-
neyS OF the bidders, or a decision from
the supreme court.
Kelly and Jewett sent for Assistant
Auditor Nation and asked him what
he knew about the report that Audi
tor Wells would refuse to issue war,
rants against the refinery fund. Ma.
ton replied that the report was cor

A proceeding in mandamus, therefore,

EXPLOSION IN A NINE
ESTIMATED DEAD "a

Benton, ILL.,, April 5. - Some fifty
miners were entombed in JOSEPH
Letters mine at Zeigler by a terrific
explosion Of gas and it is probable
that 80 or more of the buried men are
dead Thus far four bodies have been
found. The explosion was due to the
fact that the Letter mines are moi
worked on Sunday, thus allowing gas
to accumulate in the lower workings
When between IS and As miners
had descended into the mine to re-
sumo work a terrific explosion blew
the timbers about the mouth of the
mine high into the air. One of the
steel cages was blown to the surface
from the bottom of a 500,foot shaft.
The shock of the explosion was felt
at Benton, u miles distant.
One miner was killed and four were
severely injured at the mouth of the
shaft in which the explosion occurred.
The work of rescue was begun at
once by miners who we're arriving
when the explosion took place, but
the main shaft was demolished so that
rescue work has to be carried on

there were two explosions close to1
gether. The first explosion took place
in the air shaft, and was followed by a!
much greater upheaval in the main
shaft. There were employed in the
mine only 1870 men, 100 being at work
days. -Four cages each containing III
men of the day force had gone down
into the mine and were supposedly at
the bottom when the catastrophe oc-
cured. The explosion wrecked the
shaft, blowing out the skids on which
the cages were hoisted, Of the 81

WONDERS OF THE OCEAN,
Natures Perfect Arrangement for Pre-
servation OF Fish Life.


Naturally the fish of the deep por,
tions are carniyorous, no VEGETABLE life
being found below 200 fathoms,'
writes w. S. HARDWOOD, in Harper's
Magazine. In the Atlantic Ocean the
vast Sargasso sea, containing three
millions of square miles of surface
a great marine prairie as large as the
whole of the United States exclusive
of Alaska and independent islands
affords vegetable food for uncountable
animals, which, in their due time, die
and are preciptated to the depths,
their bodies in turn to be eaten by the
animals which live far below all veg
citation. So it is throughout the whole
ocean; animal life is constantly falling
from the surface waters for the sup.
port of the animal life of the abyss.
A very large number of the deep sea
animals are exceedingly tenuous or
translucent in form-so to put it--hav-
ing no special forms of nutrition, but
taking in their nourishment through
the walls of their bodies, appropriating
from the water food that suits them.
Some of them have bony structure,
