lamp by boys The lamp exploded,
igniting the timbers of the shaft,

air shaft, but thirty-nine were cut on
and their death Is regarded as certain.
The work of rescue is attended
with great danger owing to the pres.
ence OF poisonous gases and six OF
the rescuers are reported missing.
The ground over the mine is sinking
gradually with a sound like that OF
thunder as the supporting timbers OF
the mine are being burned away
Great crowds OF women and chill
dren are standing about the mine in a
drenching rain, hoping for the rescue
of hubands and fathers.

A PLAN THAT FAILED.
Kansas OIL Law Failed to Stand Test
Of Courts.

Topeka Kans-The law passed by
the legislature last winter appropriat.
ing $4,000 to build an independent
oil refinery at Peru has been declared
unconstitutional by the state supreme
court in an opinion rendered by Asso-
ciate Justice Green.
The oil refinery law was considered
one Of the most direct blows struck at
the Standard OH company by the last
legislature. which adopted several
measures tending to restrict that con
Germ in the handling OF the Kansas
product.
The court holds that the construc.
ton of the refinery and the branch
penitentiary in connection with II is
in violation of the state constitution
which declares the state shall never
be a party in carrying on any works
OF internal improvement.
