Philips trespassing on Hamiltonl
land. The trespassing was done
last winter when the roads were
blocked with snow and Philips

tons fields. In doing this he die
what any number of other people
did last winter. Such a case i,
rather a rare occurrence in THU

Benton, H., April 4.--Some fifty
miners were entombed in Joseph Lei
ter's mine at Zeigler by a terrific ex-
/! plosion Of gas, and it is probable that
thirty or more Of the buried men are
| dead. So far sixteen bodies have been
found. The explosion was due to the
fact that the Letter mines are not
worked on Sunday, thus allowing gas
to accumulate in the lower workings
When between thirty-fve and forty
five miners had descended into the
mine to resume work horrible eXplo-
sion blew the mouth of the mine high
into the air
Effect of the Explosion.
One of the steel cages was blown to
the surface from the bottom Of a 500
foot shaft The shock of the explo-
sion was felt at Benton, twelve miles
northeast Of Zeigler. A teamster driv-
ing along 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 in
jured at the mouth Of the shaft in
which the explosion occurred. The
work Of rescue was begun at once by
the miners, who were arriving wher
the explosion took place. But the mair
shaft was demolished so that rescue
work has to be carried on though the
air shaft.
Union Miners Offer Their Aid,
This hindered the work of aiding
the entombed men to such an extent
that when darkness fell 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 A committee of union
miners from Duquoin and other neigh
boring towns, headed by District Pres
ident Morris, fastened to Zeigler soon
after the explosion occurred and of
fered their aid.
Hard to Identify the Dead.
The bodies of the dead are so black
ened that they cannot at once be iden
titled. Rolly Campbell is the injured
miner brought out Of the shaft, and il
is said that he cannot live Campbell
is conscious, but he is unable to give
any explanation of the accident G. E.
Childers, a striking Zeigler miner, last
October predicted in a printed article
that an explosion was likely to occur
on account Of what he termed improp-
er ventilation of the shafts. There
was much excitement among miners
when the accident became known, be
cause there had been a strike of long
duration and many conflicts had oc-
CURED between strikers and non-union
miners. Investigation tends to show
that the catastrophe was due to the ac-
Cidental explosion of accumulated gas
Death Due to Asphyxiation.
All the bodies found except two
show no marks Of injury, indicating
death by asphyxiation. All but four
of these found worked in the shaft by
numbers, and their names have not as
yet been secured. An order for twenty
collins has been sent to st. Louis, be
sides twenty ordered earlier.

Turkey Slow to Pax Debts.

Collecting money from Turkey is a
heart-breaking enterprise. A distin-
guished American once went there to
collect a debt Of 100000 owing to an
English syndicate. which included two
members of parliament and cabinet
minister. He expected to see the bus
mess through in two or three months.
But a foreign ambassador undeceived
him. Say three or four months and
then you will be as far off from obtain
ing your money as you are to-day he
remarked. Men had gone out there

TO me came the knowledge of meadows

And l left my lair accused and forlorn
Swift were the wings that southwark bore
me,
Wide and far spread my lesolate track:
l found not the south, for it fled before
me,
Ard death and destruction were close
at my back.
All, how | laughed when the green in
the valley
Blackened and died meath my wither-
ing tread
laughed when | heard the south wind
rally
Ills forces to huri at my conquering
head
But my strong wings Jagged and fear
assailed me;
My soul grew sick with the scent Of
flowers,
I fed to the north, which ne'er had
failed me,
Away from the weakening southland
bowers.
Here | crouch in my desolate eyrie
TIL strength shall come to my wings
again.
Tin the day when no longer faint and

To the famshing ones

1t is telling the good that we think
1t isn't the music asleep in the strings
OF the lutte. that entrances the ear
and brings 10 the breast
The spirit Of rest,
Il Is only the music we hear
II isn't the lilies We hide from the world.
Nor the roses we keep as our own.
That are strcwn at our feet
BY the angels we moet
On our way to the Great White Throne

That heariens and strengthens the weak
To triumph through strife
For the great things OF life:
It's the words Of good cheer that we

searchlight blinds the eye to every
thing except the object upon which 1t
is directed. And there is a great deal
in America besides graft" Why not
look, for once, upon the bright side
of the shield?
"A materialistic and corrupt nation.
That was how America was summed
up the other day by writer in the
Saturday Review, most anti-American
of all English periodicals.
Materialistic. No people on earth do
more, or stand ready to do more, for
good works that are not material. Let
a man bring forward any scheme for
the uplifting Of his kind and demon
strate its claim to public support, and
he will get the money and help the
needs more readily in America than
anywhere else No people on earth
spend anything like so much money as
the Americans do for charities, educa-
ton, hospitals, parks. libraries,
churches and other good works.
Materialistic? The most striking
protest against materialism in the
world to-day is being made in Ameri-
ca. It is the erection of the Cathedral
Of ST. John the Divine in New York
city-"the largest religious edihce to
be started since the middle ages, when
thousands of zealots worked their
lives away rearing Europe's famous
cathedrals.'
The American millionaire may make
his money in materialistic ways, but
he spends it nobly. During 1903 eight
teen Americans gave total of more
than $63,S6O,000 for educational, be-
nevolent and religious purposes. An
drew Carnegie and John d. Rockefel-
Ter gave the most, the former SIS ,878,-
500, and the latter gentleman $11 $780,
667 The biggest single gift was Mr..
Rockefeller's $7,00000O for a post
graduate medical college and hospitsl
in Chicago.
The total of the gifts and bequcss5
of sums above $4,000 during last year
exceeded $S5.OO0,O00. They were for
an infinite variety of educational and
benevolent institutions throughout
the country, and with few exceptions,
TIE donors bestowed the money wise
ly and found out some new thing that
needed doing In most cases the char
ity was confined to America; but, be-
cides Mr.. Carnegie's foreign gifts,
