Near Dubois, Pa.-Ten Others
Dashed to Death.

Dubois, Pa, April 29.-An explosion,
the exact nature of which is as yet I'M
explained, occurred in the Eleanora
shaft, near this city, Thursday night.
Twelve were killed and one had both
legs and both arms broken. He will
probably die An examination of the
bodies as they were laid on the floor of
the little building near the shaft indi-
Gated that death had come instantly.
Those that had the black dust washed
from their bodies showed evidences of
having been burned, scarlet spots show
ing all over their bodies. Their clothing
tears as though it were made of paper.

SHoRTENS HIS VACATION.
President Roosevelt Will Break Camp
May S-Reasons for His
Decision.

GlenWood Springs, Col, April Is
President Roosevelt will break camp on
May 8, week earlier than he had in
tended, and will start for Washington at
once. The only stops he will make will
be at Denver and Chicago, where the
dates for his reception have been ad-
vanced to meet the new arrangement.
Secretary Loeb returned early Thursday
from the camp, where he conferred with
the president all of Wednesday, He an
nounced upon reaching here that affairs
in Washington made it necessary that
the president curtail his visit. That
there is nothing alarming in the situa-
ton is manifested from the fact that the
hunt will be continued ten days more, in
spite of conditions of governmental at
fairs, which resulted in the altered plans.
The Venezuelan situation, it is believed
here, resulted in the order to start home
on May 8.
There are also some routine, but i'm
portant, subjects relating to changes in
high public Offices in the diplomatic
service which the president alone can
direct, and taken altogether, it is admit
ted by officials that while no real emer-
gency exists in the state of foreign rela-
tions, it would be better were the presi-
dent to take UP the direction of affairs
personally little earlier than he had
planned.

Tsingtau, Shantun Peninsula, China,
April 2S.-A private telegram received
here says that Admiral Rojestvensky's
fleet has Joined Nebogatoff's detach-
ment
st. Petersburg, April 2S.-According
to the calculations of the naval staff,
Vice Admiral Nebogatoff, who left
Jibutil, French Somaliland, March Is,
If he has been making 200 knots per day,
should reach Singapore Friday and could
not unite his division with Vice Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's in Tonquin bay
until May 5. The general opinion is that
their juncture is assured on the theory
that Admiral Togo would not dare to
risk sailing south to meet Nebogatoff
since by so doing he would leave the way
to Vladivostok open to Rojestvensky.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
A New system.

A new system of accounting in the
several state offices, which it is be-
lieved will reduce to the minimum
mistakes and discrepancies in the dis
bursement of state funds, has just been
put into effect in accordance with a
law passed by the recent legislature.
Under the new system, the head of
each department is required to prepare
an abstract in triplicate, showing each
item of expenditure, the person to
whom it is payable, the amount and
the fund. One copy of the abstract is
sent to the state auditor, one to the
state treasurer, and the third is kept
by the head of the department.
The state auditor, under the new
system, will issue his warrant covering
the entire abstract, and the treasurer
issues his check for each separate item.
This is practically the same system as
is provided in the law relieving the
state board of control of the care Of
the state university and normal
schools.

chairman of the directors committee
investigating the Equitable Life Assur-
ance society, has written letter to the
policy-holders assuring them that the
interest of every policy-holder is abso-
lutely safe. Mr.. Prick sets forth that the
society's assets, which are in the pos
session of the committee, are absolutely
sound; that the Equitable's investments
have been conservatively made; that
there are no charges made which if true
would diminish the society's assets, and
that the society could meet in full all OF
its maturing policies, even if it never
wrote another dollar of insurance.

COURT INTERFERES.
Grants Order Practically Amounting
to Injunction Against Strik-
ers in Chicago.

Chicago, April 90. - An injunction,
sweeping and direct in its nature, was
granted Friday by Judge Kohlsaat, of
the United States circuit court, against
all labor unions and others, restraining
them from interfering in any way with
the operations Of the Employers Team
ing company This action places the
employers under the protection of the
federal government. One hundred de-
PENDANTS are specifically named in the
writ, including the Transfers joint
council. The order is temporary one,
returnable May 10, when the labor peo-
pie will be called upon to show why it.
should not be made permanent.
Violation of the injunction is pun
ishable by fine or Imprisonment, or
both, at the discretion of the court. 1t
is expected that prominent labor lead
ers will be arrested if they persist in
their boycott policy, just as Debs was

POINT FOR NAN PATTERSON
Pawnbroker Fails to Identify Her
Brother-in-Law as Man Who
Bought Revolver.

New York, April 27.-The climax in
the prosecution of Nan Patterson, who
is on trial charged with shooting
Caesar" Young, was reached Wednes-
day, when Hyman Stern, the pawn
broker, failed to identify J. Morgan
Smith as the man to whom he sold the
pistol with which Young was killed.
This feature had been looked forward
to with much anticipation and was ex-
pected to make somewhat of a sensa-
ton. On the contrary, however, it
caused but a ripple of comment and
surprise in the courtroom, although it
was the dramatic moment of the trial
Stern also failed to identify Nan Patter-
son or Mrs. Smith as the woman who
accompanied the man that purchased
the revolver.

Office Bus no Salary.

Although the bill creating a state
fire marshal passed the legislature,
some question whether provision has
been made for the payment of the
marshal's salary and expenses for the
first year.
The law says that tax is to be
levied to meet such expenses of one
fourth of one per cent on all fire insur-
ance premiums payable ''on or before
the first of April in each year" Ac-
cordingly, there will be no income
from the new tax till next April. It is
an open question whether any other
insurance tax money secured under
the old laws, can be used to pay the
new state fire marshal

AS THE PARSON TOLD If.
Squib Sounded All Right When He
Heard It, But He Got It
Twisted.

R. r. Robinson, of Elmira, N. Y, told
the Kansas City Star the following story
on a minister who is friend of his:
Now, while this clergyman is not an
Englishman, l believe he inclines that
way, or at least his sense of humor does"
said Mr.. Robinson. "A few days ago
man at little dinner propounded the
following: Why is tin can tied to
q dogs tail like death?'
1.-The answer was: Because it is bound
to occur
This made quite hit with the rec
tor, and few days later when he was
invited out to dinner one evening Sc
ries of conundrums were passed around.
The divine saw his chance, and he
asked the same question:: Why is a tin
can tied to dogs tail like death?'
No one knew the answer, and The
propounder Immediately spoke up: Be
cause it is sure to happen
And he looked disappointed when the
squib didn't break laugh"

State Senator Suspended.

Madison, Wis, April 26.-The. state
senate Tuesday might, by vote of % to
5, suspended Senator Barney A. Eaton,
of Milwaukee, representing the Seventh
district. from further participation in
the legislature during the year of 1905.
An effort to expel was made, but failed
to secure the necessary iwo-thirds vote
required under the constitution. This
was the result of testimony given by the
senator at his recent trial in Milwaukee
for alleged graft, of which he was acquit-
ted. The testimony in question was ia
ken by the senate as assailing its dig
nifty.

Freight Rates.

The state railroad and warehouse
commission has begun to collect and
arrange data to be used in making a
reimbursement of freight rates in the
state, which was ordered by the re-
cent legislature. 1t is probable that
the preliminary work will take several
weeks.
The commissioners have not fully
decided just what plan to pursue, but
the object of the readjustment, as Of
fered by the legislature is to prepare a
uniform schedule of rates, in which
the difference between distance and
distributive tariff for given dis
lance shall in no case exceed per
cent.
