Hanley Falls. George Lowe OF
Cottonwood, returning from a ball
game at Granite on the night train

his coach was on the bridge crossing
Yellow Medicine river. He was not
discovered until late the next morn
ing. Several broken ribs and inter-
nal injuries may result fatally.

An Only Daughter
Cured of CONSUMPTION,

When death was hourly expected, all
remedies having failed, and DR.. H.
James was experimenting with the
many herbs of Calcutta, he accident
ally made a preparation which cured
his only child of consumption. His
child is now in this country, and en-
joying the best OF health. He has
proved to the world that Consumption
can be positively and permanently
cured. The Doctor now gives this
recipe free, for two 2-cent staraps to
pay expenses. This herb also cures

FIRST meeting OF
HAGUE Conference
INITIAL GATHERING OF PEACE
DELEGATES LASTS ONLY
TWENTY MINUTES.
ROOSEVELT'S NAME is
GREETED WITH CHEERS
M. NeIidoff, of Russia, Declares Uni-
versaI Peace and Disarmament Are
Northumberland Will Not
Bring Up Question.

The Hague, June 1.-THE first meet
ing of the second international peace
conference, opened here Saturday, last
ed hardly 20 minutes, when the con-
ference adjourned until Wednesday.
Tea was served in the main hall and
the committee rooms after the ad-
journment.
Tribute to Roosevelt.
M. Nelidoff opened the conference
by affirming that universal peace and
disarmament were unattainable. The
deliberate utterances of the Russian
statesman, although pessimistic to the
extent referred to, were hopeful when
later he said he believed that better
method for the judicial adjustment of
disputes was possible, even though all
conflicts between nations were no
more avoidable than conflicts between
individuals.
In the course of his address M.
Neltdoff greatly pleased the American
delegates by the high tribute which
he paid to President Roosevelt and
Andrew Carnegie, not mentioning any
Otner countries or rulers.
Welcome to Delegates.
DR.. Van Tets Van Goudrain, the
Netherlands foreign minister, in vel
coming the delegates, said:
I'm the name of the queen 1 have
the honor of bidding you welcome.
Associating herself with the desire by
which Emperor Nicholas was ami
mated when he addressed to the pow
ers his proposal to send delegates to
the second peace conference, the
queen has been happy to consent that
her capital once more offers it's hos
pitality to your illustrious assembly.
''The government of the Neither
lands has directed me on this occasion
to give expression to the statements
of the deep gratitude which it enter
tains toward the Russian emperor,
who has taken the initiative in calling
the conference, and the occasion
should not be allowed to pass with
out offering tribute of our gratitude
to the eminent statesman who pre-
sides over the destinies of the United
States, President Roosevelt, who has
powerfully contributed toward raising
the seed sown by the initator of these
assemblies
The references to President Roose-
velt in the speeches of both DR.. Van
Tets Van Goudrain, the Netherlands
foreign minister, and M. Nelidoff were
greeted with rounds of applause.
VIII Not Bring Up Disarmament.
Washington, June 17.-It can be
stated on authority that the American
delegates to The Hague conference
will not bring up for discussion the
question of limitation of armaments
That matter is regarded as a purely
European question at present and as
the result of a years work by Prof.
De Martens at the various capitals of
Europe has been to thrash out pretty
thoroughly the whole matter and make
evident the fact that at least four of
the great powers are averse to the
consideration of the disarmament
question, the Washington government
regards itself as relieved from the
necessity of bringing this matter to
the fore. 1t is the opinion here also
that the subject of limitation of arma-
ment will not now be broached by
any of the powers represented at The
Hague court.

HOME IS WRECKED.
Explosion of Natural Gas Nearly Kills
an Entire Family.

Kansas City, Oct. 30.-When the
alarm clock sounded in the home of
William Eldridge. % South Baltimore
street, West Side. at 4:15 o'clock, Mrs.
Eldridge arose to prepare breakfast. 1t
was dark. When she entered the sit
ting room where her two children
were sleeping she struck a match. At
the first flash of the light an explosion
occurred that wrecked the building
and shook houses two blocks distant.
Mrs. Eldridge was thrown to the
floor unconscious. Her husband, in
the next room. fell out OF bed and
struck against the opposite wall with
such force as to stun him. The chill
dren, Juantta. 10 years old, and
Joseph, 8. were tossed from their bed
and fell in a corner in another part of
the room. The explosion was caused
by the ignition of natural gas that had
escaped from a cook stove in the
kitchen.
The Eldridge home was a five-room,
one-story frame house. 1t was COM
pletely wrecked and moved partly from
it's foundation. The roof was lifted from
the walls. In the air it separated, part
The remainder fell on the roof of Mrs.
Anna Burkin's home, five feet to the
north. The walls of the front room
were blown outward to the ground and
shape. All the doors in the house were
pulled from their hinges. The brick
chimney fell into the kitchen on the
cook stove, through an open burner of
which, it is thought, the gas escaped
that caused the explosion.
The interior of the house was as COM
pletely demolished as the framework.
The only thing that stood as it did be-
fore the explosion was the gas heating
stove in the sitting room. Only the
floor of the front room remained. The
explosion hurled a piano from this sit
ting room into the yard 70 feet away
A sewing machine that stood in the din
ing room was blown through a win
