In a general way, hunger may be
considered a symptom of health, and
Its absence an indication of the ap-
proach. at least, Of disease. Under
normal conditions, the appetite is
closely dependent upon the require
ments of the system. The sensation
of hunger is an exceedingly complex
one, being dependent on and modified
by the condition of nearly every It's
u and organ of the body. 1t is nat
ural for the child to be always hun
cry, because it is growing, making
new tissue, and requiring a large sup
ply of tissue-forming food, says the
New York Weekly. With the very
aged, quite the opposite condition ex-
lists, as there is no actual rebuilding.
Suitable nourtshment is required sim
ply to keep the machine going. Nor.
NAL hunger is frequently interfered
with by mental distress, the sight of
unattractive food, unhygienic sur.
roundings, excessively hot weather,
overfatigue and most forms of dis
ease. Even a headache will generally
render L Indifferent to the most
tempting food.

He duplicates The DEFENDANT
Careful Questioning by Hawley Leads
Narrative to Part Prisoner Is
Alleged to Have Taken.

Boise. Idaho-Showing signs of deep
emotion, Harry Orchard, in the Petit

In minute detail he testified in re-
gard to the deliberate preparations for
the crime; of his unsuccessful attempt
to end the life of the governor and
finally of placing of the bomb on the
night of Dec. 80. 1905.
Friday morning a narration of his
arrest, confinement in the state pen1-
Tertiary and his confession to De-
tective Mcfarland will end the di>
rect examination, and the witness will
be turned over to Clarence S. barrow
for cross-examination.
Before telling of the Steunenberg
murder, Orchard detailed his alleged
attempts on the lives Of Fred Bradley
at San Francisco. Justice Gabbert,
Justice Goddard and Governor Pea
body at Denver and of plans which
he said we're made to kill Sherman
Bell, Frank Hearne, David Moffatt aud
John Neville.
Throughout his story he pictured
Pettibone as his paymaster, and in
some of his attempted crimes he i'm
plicated the defendant as an active
participant.
In every detail his narrative was
the same as given in the Haywood
trial, but Hawley in his questioning
was careful to lay emphasis on the
part alleged to have been taken by
the defendant on trial.

SCORES OF men
CAUGHT IN Mine
BELIEVED THAT BETWEEN rs
AND 100 HAVE Persisted
IN ALABAMA MINE.
DISASTER NEAR BEssEMER
Eight Men Only Out of 100 Escape
Alive After Terrific Explosion
The Cause Of the Disaster
Not Known.

Birmingham, Ala.-Between rs and
100 men are believed to have per-
ished in the mines of the Yolande
Coal and Coke Company, near
Bessemer, and 80 miles west of Biz
mingham, Monday morning.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock there was a
terrible explosion in the mines, the
cause of which has not yet been deter
mined. OF the 100 men who had gone
down the shafts Monday morning only
eight had emerged alive at last re-
ports, and the remainder, it is be-
lieved, are dead or dying.
A relief train was hurried from Bes-
semer to the scene over the Louisville
& Nashville railroad, and DR.. G. D.
Craeve, president of the company,
proceeded from this city in an auto.
mobile.
The mines are located about 35
miles west of here. Indications point
to a dust explosion, although gas is
said to have existed in this place.
Fourteen men were working in sub,
entry No. 2, and crawled out before II
O'clock. They were so badly burned
that their recovery is doubtful.
The rescue work was taken up at
once, but it was about two hours be.
fore the mine could be entered, and it
is feared that this may have caused
the death of the men in the mine.
A tremendous crowd is around the
mine and every assistance is being
rendered.
Officers Of the mine assert that the
news of the explosion might be exag-
gerated, and that it is probable the
number of dead will be considerably
under what first reports Indicate.
