Retaining the Sahara Desert.

AS result of recent scientific in
vestigations it may be possible to re-
wise our ideas of the barrenness of the
Sahara desert, since 1t has been found
by boring that there are numerous
springs which rise to the surface and
make possible system of irrigation.
In the territory to the south of Algeria
government irrigation survey has
been at work making series of deep
test borings, some of which are as
deep as 1000 feet. In this way con-
siderable water has been encountered
and in certain GASES already twice the
usual amount of water has been made
available for the palm groves.-Har-

be told at present.
The fire occurred about 8 O'Clock in

Entire Family is Poisoned at
Breakfast Table, But All
Will Recover.
Ex-Governor Of Colorado and His Wife
and Daughter Have Narrow Es-
cape-Said to Have Been
Threatened With Fate
of Steunenberg.

Canon City, Colo.-Former Governor
James H. Peabody, his wife and their
daughter were poisoned by food eaten
at breakfast Thursday morning, and
the daughter. Miss Cora Peabody, is
In dangerous condition as result.
The governor and Mrs. Peabody, al
though quite Ill for several hours, re-
covered sufficiently to devote their at
tention to the daughter. Physicians
are in attendance upon the young wo-
man and unless change for the worse
comes they believe she will escape
serious consequences.
An air of mystery surrounds the az
fair. Enough was CLEANED from
friends of the family, however, to show
that there is belief that an attempt
was made to destroy the family by
poison. An intimate friend of the Pea
bodys said that several letters had
been received by the former governor
within the past week or two calling his
attention to the manner of the death
of former Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho, and threatening him with a
similar fate.
Referring to the incident his family
went through Governor Peabody said:
II do not want to say where 1 think
the responsibility lies until the results
of the investigations now being made
are known"
Mr.. Peabody was governor of Colo
RADIO during the labor troubles at Grip
pie Creek and Telluride, when troops
took possession of the two camps, and
during which time the Independence
depot dynamite disaster happened.

LIVES SNUFFED OUT.
Eighteen Miners Meet Death in Dust
Explosion.

Charleston, w. Va.-Eighteen men
are believed to have been killed in a
terrific explosion in one of the mines
of the Detroit & Kanawha Coal COM
pany at Detroit on Paint Creek, this
county, twenty-five miles from here.
The explosion occurred at 1890
o'clock. Had it been either before or
after the noon hour the death list
would have been still more appalling,
as hundreds of men would have been
killed. The force of the explosion was
so great that the hills trembled. Tons
of wreckage and debris were hurled
from the mouth of the mine, blocking
the entrance and making the work of
rescue difficult.
