Not a drop Of alcohol enters into
DR.. Pierce's leading medicines. A
much better agent is used both for
extracting and preserving the me-
dicinal principles, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine of proper strength.
This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being a most
valuable anti-septic and anti-fer-
ment, nutritive and soothing de-
mulcent.
0lycerine plays an important
part in DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery in the cure of indi-
gestion, dyspepsia and weak stom-
ach, attended by sour risings,
"heartburn," foul breath, coated
tongue, poor appetite, gnawing
feeling in stomach, biliousness and
kindred arrangements of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels.
For all diseases Of the mucous
membranes, the "Golden Medical
Discovery" is specific. Catarrh,
whether of the nasal passages or of
the stomach, bowels or pelvic or
gans is cured by it. In Chronic
Catarrh Of the Nasal passages, it is
well, while taking the "Golden
Medical Discovery" for the neces-
sary constitutional treatment, to
cleanse the passages freely two or
three times a day with DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy. This thorough
course of treatment generally cures
even in the worst cases.
In coughs and hoarseness caus-
ed by bronchial, throat and lung
affections, except Consumption in
It's advanced stages, the Golden
Medical Discovery" is most effici-
ent remedy, especially in those OBJ
stinate, hang-on-coughs caused by
irritation and congestion Of the
bronchial mucous membranes. The

MINE A DEATH TRAP.
More Than 200 Men Killed in PennsyI-
yania Shaft

An explosion OF gas In the Darr
mine of the Plttsburg Coal company,
located at Jacobs Creek, Pa, Thurs
day entombed between 200 and $50
miners, and there is scarcely a ray of
hope that single one of them will
be taken from the mine alive. Par
tally wrecked buildings In the vicin-
ity of the mine and the condition of
the few bodies found early in the res
cue work indicate that it seems inn
possible that anyone could have sur
vived 1t. All of the thirteen bodies
taken out are terribly mutilated. and
three OF them are headless.
This is the third mine disaster since
the first of the month I'm the veins of
the bituminous coal underlying west
ern Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
for the Naomi mine near Fayette City
ana the two mines at Monongah, W..
Va, in which the earlier explosions
happened, are I'm the same belt as the
local workings. Thursdays catastro-
phe swells the number of victims of
deadly mine gas for the nineteen days
to between $50 and 900.
That Thursdays disaster does not
surpass In loss of life and attendant
horrors the one in West Virginia is
die to the devotion to church duties
OF considerable number of miners.
In observance of the church festival
many OF the 400 or more men regu-
larly employed at the mine did not
go TO work Thursday morning. Those
who escaped through this reason are
members of the Greek Catholic
church, and they suspended work to
celebrate st. Nicholas day.

PART or less TO BANK.
All Funds Taken by CaEoya Rob5c-!

1t IL stated on apparently good Cu-
thority that through q technicality thc
Peoples State bank, OF Canova, viii
lose the sum of $500 as the result OF
the raid made upon it for n few weeks
ago by five expert rracksrn en-, who,
after a series of sensational Incidents
succeeded in making their escape with
over $4,000, which they secured from
the safe which they wrecked with no.
troglycerin. 1t appears that wEila the
banks loss was fully covered ty in
surance, there was a clause in the
policy eXempting the Insurance COM
pany from the loss OF any rloTey
which was not locked UP inside the
money chest inside the safe. At the
time Of the robbery the sum of $1,000
was locked in the safe outside Of the
money chest. This form ed a part of
the cash taken by the yeCgmcn, and
this sum the insurance company now
refuses to make good under the clause
referred to. Had the money been in
the chest it would have been stolen
just the same, but this appears 10
make no difference to the Insurance
Company. 1t is stated that q similar
clause clause is in all burglar lnSur-
ance policies covering cash in banks.
and as the result of the experience
of the Canova bankers other bankers
should be very careful to comply with
this clause of their policies in future.

Appalling Death Roll i'm the United
States.
The Coal mines of the United States
are killing three times as many men
per 1000 employees as those of most
european countries. In the last sew
enteen years 22,S40 men have given
up their lives in the mines Of this
country. AS many violent deaths have
occurred in the mines during the last
six years as during the preceding elev-
en- years. The number of fatal acci-
dents each year is now double that
of the year 1895. In 1906 6,S61 men
were killed or injured in the mines.
the dead numbering 2,O61 and the in
tured $500.
These terrible facts have been
Cleaned by government experts acting
under orders Of Secretary Garfield. of
the interior department, to investigate
the nature and extent of mine acci-
dents, particularly those resulting
from explosions, and to make sugges-
tions as to how mining conditions may
be Improved and accidents prevented.

FOR ARTESIAN WELLS.
Aurora County Wants Money from the
Government.

Residents of Aurora county have
taken up the matter of petitioning
congress for an appropriation for the
sinking of one or more large artesian
wells on the shores of Fish lake, a
body of water situated in Aurora
county. Preliminary to asking con-
gress FOR such an appropriation, the
legislature ceeded the tract of land
upon which the lake is situated to the
United States government. The pur-
pose Of sinking the artesian wells will
be to raise the stage of water in the
lake, as now is being done by the gov
ernment at Lake Andes, in Charles
Mix county. The raising of the stage
Of water I'm Fish Lake by the flows
from one or more large government
artesian wells would make the lake a
popular resort, especially for fishing
and duck and goose shooting in sea-

Jersey Youth Receives Sound Waves
Through Mouth.

Ten-year-old John Hetzel, of Jer-
sey City, is puzzling the faculty Of the
state school for deaf mutes at Tren-
ton, N. j. The lads hearing is reason
ably acute, although he was born with
out ears.
Tests made by the teachers seem to
show that he hears through his mouth.
When his lips are closed he is unable
to understand questions addressed to
him. There are no cavities in the side
of his head through which sound
might enter. Where his ears should
be small lobes of skin have grown.
Yung Hetzel was for a time a pupil
in the public schools of His home city,
but other children made fun of his
appearance and his parents sent him
to Trenton. There is some question as
to the right TO keep him there, mas
much as he is not a genuine deaf
mute.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Former Lincoln Boy Under Arrest in
Los Angeles.

Daniel Meskil, in Jail at Los An-
geles, Cal, charged with the murder
of Policeman Lyons, came from Ne
braska, where he has a residence. A
letter just received from County Attor-
ney Tyrrel, of Lincoln, says In part:
Il have prosecuted Meskil at differ
ent times and am thoroughly familiar
with his youthful criminal record. He
learned the printers trade in the re-
form school at Kearney, Neb. He
was in the county Jail at LincoSn
many times for assaults of various
kinds upon his mother, sisters and
brother. For example, a sister did not
wait upon him quite so quickly as lie
thought she should, and he stuck a
table fork in her back until it pene-
trated the body for considerable more
than an inch"
