caught strong scent Of oil in one
of the runs leading from the old
shaft cue day ,ast week and started
to investigate. A substance was
dripping from the roof Of the mine
and in raising his torch Grim was
surprised by Il sheet OF flame, the
crude oil igniung. Before he could
escape the floor was mass of flames
and his trousers were almost burnt
Oft him before the FIRE could be ex-

sistance and it was only after three
hours hard work tina, the flames in
the mine were extinguished.
William Hus,es, assistant super

Hello" Girl Shocked

We heard II good joke the
other day on a certain Reed
street Business man, who was
an innocent party tn the affair,
consequently there can't be
any harm in giving it to our
readers.
The said Reed street blu ii.
ness man was sitting at his
desk smoking, when he had
occasion to use his telephone.
He arose, laid the cigar he
was smoking on IA chair and
took down. the receiver.
Just as he lifted the receiv-
er friend stepped into the
store, and walked back to the
desk, started To sit down in
the chair. Not realizing that
the operator could hear what
he was saying, and just as
she was about to say, "Num-
Der, please?" ia her sweetest
tones, the business man yell.
ed: Look out therel You'll
burn your pants!"
Communication between him
and central was at once cut
off and it took some tall ex-
planning ana abject apology
TO set himself right with the
telephone exchange.-Mobe

Good Work Being Done on
Panama Canal.

a special agent of Panama
Canal Commission. Leroy
Park, is in st. Louis employ
ing workmen for the canal.
He gave out Il statement, con-
tradicting the generally cur
rent report that nothing is be-
ling done ON the canal.
"Seven thousand cubic
yards u dav are now being ex-
|cavated. and it is expected 10
increase this very soon. Tive
earth will he used To fill in the
marshy places and otherwise
improve topography Of
the isthmus, and il is believed
that this work will improve
the health of the country by
wiping out the sources OF fe-
yer aud other deadly diseas-
es. Much filling has already
been done"
Mr.. Park states that the
government is Mt present,
sending about 500 men ~
month to the istbmus. and is
finding little difficulty in Sc
curing help. The only trou-
BILE is Ia get the grade OF la
Dor required, he says.
IF n man will leave whisky
alone and take ordinary care
of himself he has nothing Ia
fear from u health standpoint
in Panama. The climate the
year round is about the same
as early June in the north"
Fifteen thousand men are
now employed on the canal,
according to Mr.. Park, and
of this number 5000 are Ameri.
cans. For the past sixty
days he has been engaging
men IN eastern cities, and
from st. Louis will go TO New

Tired
Nervous

When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tally is low-your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs OF the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impovcrishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the inn
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DR..
Miles Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.

CHURCHES UNITE
Northern and Cumberland Pres.
buterians Reach Agree
ment.

After n division Of over
100 years, steps were con.
%summated last week in the
Joint session Of general com.
mittees in ST. Louis which,
when formally ratified, will
unite the Northern Presby.
terrain church, y. S. A., and
the Cumberland Presbyterian
church. Almost two days
were consumed by subcom.
mittees in arranging details
for the union. Their reports
were submitted To the general
committees representing each
church. Within two hours
the two general committees
had met in joint session and
agreed upon u basis for the
union of the two denominations
al bodies. This agreement
will be reported 10 the gener-
al assembly of the Presby-
terrain church, meeting at
Des MOines, L., on May II,
1906, and Of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church, meet
ing in Decatur, Ill.,, on the
same date, for formal ratif-
cation by these two executive
assemblies, which will be
followed by the official an.
nouncement that the union of
the two churches has finally
been consummated.
The general committee of
the Cum berland Presbyterian
church had its full quota of
twenty-one members present,
the chairman being DR.. w. II.
Black, of this city. Only
sixteen OF the twenty-one
members of the Presbyter-
ian general committee were
present, the others being de-
tanned away. Rev. DR.. w. III.
Roberts, of Philadelphia, Was
chairman.
The joint session was ex-
ecutive. 1t was stated that
upon joint ballot of the ques-
ton of the proposed union
there was but one dissenting
vote, that being cast by Elder
W. Keller, of Knoxville,
Tenn, a memb Der of the Cum
berland committee. 1t was
stated that when
tue Cumberland committee
was appointed seven men in
opposition to the proposed
union were placed on the
committee. The vote indi-
,ated that SIX had changed
heir minds during the delib-
