Mine CAGES Mad Plunge.

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 21.-By a
cage plunging $50 feet down the shaft
of the Jones & Mclaughlin Steel Com
pany mine, II men were killed and
seven fatally injured Friday. The
cage with its human freight was being
lowered on its first trip for the day
when the brake on the hoisting drum
suddenly failed to hold. Two other
men sprang to the assistance of the
one at the brake wheel, but their
combined efforts did not avail and the
wire cable continued to unreel from
the drum like thread from a bobbin.
The cage shot down couple of hun
dred feet before a kink in the too
rapidly paying out cable caused it to
part and from that point the cage had
a sheer drop to the. bottom of the
shaft. The safety catches with which
it was equipped failed to operate. The
surging of the cable in it's mad fight
tore out part of the side of the engine
house, and ripped out several of the
sheaves, in and about the shaft house.

Imagination, Mr. Rorem," said the
dear girl, as she made an unsuccessful

explained.
And 30 seconds later he had faded

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys tie
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because OF it's great

Transmission of Warts.

Recent experiments show that the
popular belief that warts are com
municable is warranted" says
writer. "Inoculation of healthy tissue
with blood obtained from a wart will
cause the growth of similar eX-

growths contain an ultramicroscopic
germ to which is due the transmission
from one person to another. At all
events, persons who have warts should
take measures to have them removed
at once"
