WILL chit THE TRAIL"
Visitors at the Next Worlds Fair
VIII Have a Change from
Midway" and "Pike"

One went down" the Pike in St. Louis
and took in" the Midway at Chicago
but it will be init the trail' at the west
ern worlds fair at Portland, says the
Kansas City Star.
All of these familiar sights which have
come to be expected of every well reg
ulated amusement street" will be part
of the Trail, and many new startling nov
elites are promised.
While the march of progress has
changed the character of the shows, the
methods of doing business will remain the
same. The harsh-voiced spieler will cry
out as of Old and the best speler will
get most of the people Many of the
shows, probably most of them, at the
Lewis and Clark exposition will be of real
educational value, but does the sp,eler EN-
phasze this fact? Not he He knows
that the people want to be amused.
''Have you saw Coral" he bellows, and
the crowd stops a moment and smiles at
his bad grammar, and wonders who Cora
is And then he proceeds to tell them of
her marvellous feats of digestion.
"YOu come on, john" says the little
woman in a last years bonnet We've
seen enough of them shows"
well, we haven't saw Cora, have we?"
and the big man laughs and buys two
tickets

Six Miners Killed and Four In
.jured, Two Probably Fatally,
Near Princeton, Ind.
THE BODIES WERE RECOVERED.
A Number of the Rescue Party We're
Overcome by Foul Air Which
Filled the Shaft.
A Portion of the Mine Was Badly
Wrecked and the Supporting Tim
bers Hurled in Every Drec-
tion-Second Disaster.

Princeton, Ind, March 23.-Six mi
ners dead and four injured, two prOba-
bly, fatally, is the result of an explo-
sion in the mine of the Princeton Coal
and Mining Co.
The dead are: Hudson Weatherly
aged 80, married; Edmond Geiser, %,
single; Albert Geiser, q, single:
Harry Taggart, 46, single; William
Biggs, SO, married; George Dill, 46,
married.
The injured are: John Dill, son of
George Dill, 20, single, seriously burn
ed and will probably die; VIM. Jones,
So, married, seriously burned and will
probably die; Joseph Ward, AZ, mar
ried, will recover; General Cole, 81,
married, will recover.
Of the dead all but Dill were dead
when found in the mine. Their bodies
were rescued two hours after the ex-
plosion, the delay being caused by the
inability of the rescuers to combat the
afterdamp. The five injured, includ-
ing George Dill, who later died, were
brought to the surface 80 minutes aft
er the explosion. They were found
heaped together in an unconscious
state.
Cause of the Disaster Not Known.
The cause Of the disaster is not
known, save that it resulted from a
powder explosion. The miners were
making their blasts previous to leav-
ing the mine and the greater part of
the miners had ascended. Whether
it was a premature shot or an over
charge is not known now, nor is it
known who fired the shot. The news
reached the city about o'clock, and
within a short time so women, rela-
tives of the miners, surrounded the
mouth of the shaft and anxiOusly
awaited each ascension of the cage.
The miners worked herOically and a
number of them were overcome by the
foul air which filled the mine. The
explosion wrecked a portion o: the
mine and the supporting timbers were
hurled in every direction. The sup
ports gone, the slate roof gave way
in many places and the rescUers were
in constant danger from this source.
Bodies Taken To the Morgue.
The first intimation that the eXplO-
sion had occurred was the action Of
the cage rope which was ascending.
The engineer noted relaxation Of
the hosting rope, indicating force
from below. The bodies of the six
dead men were removed to the city
morgue and the injured were taken
to their homes.
The injured were attended by every
physician of the city who could be
notified to go to the mine. This is the
second serious disaster for this mine,
operated and owned by the Princeton
Coal and Mining Co. Nine years ago
an explosion in the mine killed nine.
The mine was then the property of
the Maule Coal Co. The city is in
gloom as a result Of the disaster.

SEEDING IN PROGRESS
IN WESTERN CANADA.
Mild Weather Is Bringing Thousands
of Settlers.

The splendid. yields of wheat, oats
and barley produced by the farmers
of Western Canada and the excellent
been the means of giving an increased
interest throughout the United States
AS a result the inquiries, made of the
Agents of the Canadian Government
have nearly doubled over those of the
same period last year. Railroad com
panies are putting on increased carry
ing capacity to meet the demand made
upon them for carrying passengers
and freight. Everything points to a
most prosperous year. There is room
for hundreds of thousands additional
settlers, much new land having been
opened up for settlement this year.
1t is quite interesting to look
through the letters received from the
Americans who have settled in West
ern Canada during the past few years,
and considering the large number it
is surprising how few there are who
have not succeeded. An extract from
a letter written by Mr.. Geo. M Girls
void, of Red Deer, Alta, formerly of
Grever, Montana, written on the I'd
of January, is as follows:
81 am located one and one-half miles
from a beautiful lake ten miles long,
where there is church, school, three
stores, creamery and two post Offices.
The fine stock, both cattle tcows and
steers), horses, hogs and sheep are
rolling fat grazing in pasture to-day,
just little snow, hardly enough for
good sleighing, as we just had a Chi
nook which has melted the roads and
laid bare the fields and pasture. There
are fine wheat, oats, barley and fax
raised here, also winter wheat and
timothy hay for export to British Co.
lumhia. This is mixed farming and
dairy country. This is the right time
to get a foothold in the Canadian
West, as it was some years ago in the
United States. We are free from wind
gumbo and alkali here and have fine,
clear, soft we'll and spring water at a
depth of from to Is feet, and lots of
open ever flowing springs"
Telegraphic advices from Medicine
Hat say that seeding has commenced
at Medicine Hat Lethbridge, and 9TH
er points At the former place the
temperature moderated gradually I'M
til on the 10Th the maximum was As

lows: goth, AT and 80; 21st, 81 and
"a; 22d, Sc and 80; 23d. 48 and 40;

During the last few days in Febru-
airy considerable blowing was done
near Lethbridge. P A. Pulley, a re-
cent arrival from Montana, piowed

borty about the same amount. Rev.
Coulter White has also been harrow
ing his farm. All report the ground
frost free and in excellent condition.
Bricklaying has also begun in town
At Hartney, further east on the 25th
of February the sun was warm and
bright, wheeled carriages were in use
and the plowed fields look as if they
are ready for the press drills. There
is every appearance that spring has
arrived but farmers do not wish to be
deceived by appearances and conse-
quently have not commenced to use
their bluestone and seed wheat.
