FIFT Y MINERS EN9OMBED.
Disaster at Joseph Letters Mine
thirty Probably Lost.

Benton Ill. April 8. Some fifty min
#ers were entombed to-day IN Joseph
Letters mine at zeigler by q terrific
explosion of gas. and 1t ID probable that
thirty or more Of the buried men are
dead Thus far four bodies have been
found. The explosion. It ID said, was
due to the fact that the Letter mines
are not worked on Sunday, thus allow
ing gas to accumulate in the lower
workings.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became
known, because there had been strike
of long duration and many conflicts
had occurred between strikers and nom
union miners, An all-day investigation
tends to show that the catastrophe was
due to the accidental explosion OF accu-
mulated gas.

 Gen. Kuropatkin is an expert in botany and geography, and he is inter- ested in the progress made from week to week i. all the sciences. Scientific periodicals are ssnt to him in Man churia from Russia. France and Ger many. As an author he is best known by his geographic works Agricultural problems engage much of his attention.

Not very long ago he re- ceived from an unknown lady edmirer in America sprig of laurel as mas cot" the receipt of which he found time to acknowledge in a graceful letter of thanks.
 Before the Japanese war broke out Gen. Kuropatkin said to Stoessel, the man who so gallantly defended Port Arthur: ''Stoessel is a bad soldier, but a wonderful engineer. Pit him with equal forces against a Gourko or a Skobeleff and you would find him out maneuVered and cut into mineemeat in one day and night.

A FELLOW FEELING.
Why She Felt Lenient Towards the
 Drunkard

A great deal depends on the point of view A good temperance woman was led, in very peculiar way, to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups and she is now the more charitable. She writes:
 For many years l was a great suf .ferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that found I could not lie down, but walked the floor whilst oth- CTS slept. I got so nervous could not rest anywhere.
 Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee--the main thing that I always thought gave me some relief. l consulted our family physician, and he, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee had such charm for me that in passing a restaurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup. I felt very lenient towards the drunkard who could not pass the sa- loon. Friends often urged me to try Postum, but I turned deaf ear, say ing: That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me-cof- fee and I will never part
 At last, however, I bought a pack age of Postum, although l was sure I could not drink it. I prepared it as directed, and served it for breakfast. Well. bitter as I was against it, must say that never before had I tasted more delicious cup of coffee! From that day to this (more than two years) I have never had desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the asthma disappeared. began to sleep well and in short time I gained 20 pounds in weight.
 'One day 1 handed my physician the tablets he had prescribed for me, tell ing him I had no use for them He stayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup he remarked: I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. This is the best cup of coffee ever drank he continued; the trouble is so few people know how to make good coffee When he got his second cup I told him he was drinking Postum. He was incredulous, but convinced him, and now he uses noth- ing but Postum In his home and has greatly improved in health" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

LINCOLN HAS COMPLAINT.
Nebraska Town Has Grievance
Same as Kansas Towns.

Nebraska Town Has Grievance
Same as Kansas Towns.
This is from a Lincoln. Neb.. rail-
road man:
During the past few weeks the
Northwestern has loaded 800 ROCK
Island cars with grain for southbound
shipments. Almost all of this grain
has gone to Galveston. The North
western has recently placed orders
with the Rock Island for 200 more
soon be delivered to the Northwestern
by the Rock Island. This is rule
that all roads are now enforcing.
Systems which take the grain from
the granger roads and handle it to
seaport must furnish the cars. These
cars are being loaded on the North
western in Nebraska. mostly by the
Nye- Schneider Grain company.
Here is a point. The Rock Island
has delivered almost every one of
these empty cars to the Northwestern
at Lincoln.
''The Northwestern delivers the
loaded cars to the Rock Island at
saThe reason for this is plain. The
rate on corn from Lincoln to Calves
ton is "a cents.
The proportional rate in force
from Omaha SIS miles farther from
Galveston than Lincoln. is IS cents.
9Th ere is a difference of 8 cents a
hundred in favor of the long haul.
81 understand Lincoln grain men
have taken this matter up and that
results may follow the agitation for a
basis on Galveston business at least as
good as Omaha gets. It should be
better.
eff Omaha gets a better proportion
al on grain shipped to Chicago than
the Lincoln rate, or proportional
that makes a rate lower than a COM
bination of the two locals, why
shouldn't Lincoln get a better rate on
grain shipped to Galveston?
81 understand the Burlington has
been turning over great quantities of
grain to the Rock Island at Kansas
city. Kansas City Is a grain market
and has a proportional rate to Calves
ton and other gulf points. The North
western could turn grain over to the
Santa Fe at Superior, but that is the
farthest point south that it reaches.
This cents difference in the rate
from Omaha and the rate from Lin
coin is discrimination against Lin
coln.''
