dispatched to the scene from Fair
mont. The mine is too full OF gas and
smoke yet for rescuers to be able to
go in.
It is said the explosion started IN
number six and spread to number
eight mine, the two being connected,
The gravest fears were felt for the
safety of the great number of men In
the workings. The very earth seemed
to be rent at the moment OF the shock.
Some idea of the force of the explosion
may be gained from the fact that
props from the mine were not only
blown out Of the entry, but were
hurled by the force of 1t clear across
the west fork of the Monongahela
river. Wires are down, which is the
reason for details of the explosion be
ing unobtainable for long time.
Worst Mine Accident In History.
1t Is feared that the accident will
turn out to be the worst in the history
of mining in this country. Superin
tendent Malone telephones that sol
men were in the mine at the time
and the miners do not think any couls
escape alive from the forces of thu
explosion. The fans were started a
noon to clear out the foul air and res
cuers were expected to reach the mel
soon. The mine management declare
they do not know the cause, but ex
perienced miners declare that it mus
have been dust.

"Skiddoo Club' Meets.

The "Skiddoo Club" held meeting
last Saturday night at the hospitable
home of Will Deane. and during the
evening the fact was evident that
Uncle Sans servants, the R. F. d.
carriers and postmasters, have not for
gotten in the discharge of their duties
how to have a good time. Fifteen mot
t.23") were present. One member
failed to respond at roll call but his
vacant chair was occupied by one who
had heretofore been absent at the
gatherings, the writer. In addition to
the Cresco contingent, Bonair was rep
resented at the gathering by large
and respectable" delegation, inasmuch
as one was quite rotund and both highly
respectable, while the necessary
devil try was added by the presence
of two newspaper men and one of our
dentists was added to the party to give
weight to the occasion. The genial
host had made every arrangement for
the reception and entertainment of his
guests while the boys made an effort
to do their part by presenting Mr..
Deane with articles necessary to facili-
tate the flow oflaughter, joke and song.
The evenings entertainment consisted
of photograph selections and buck and
wing dancing, and violin and cornet
selections by the versatile host. The
singing of the newly adopted club song
was entered into heartily and the senti-
ment of the words of the ''sad but
pretty" refrain was highly expressive
of the fullness of the stom- heart of
the singers. The evening closed with
the customary ritualistic ceremonies of
the club including the official sealing of
the receptacle of joy and mirth''
against the possibility of loss before
the next meeting of the club.

Easy to Mix This.

What will appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, as formulated
by noted authority, who claims that
he has found positive remedy to cure
almost any case Of backache or kidney
or bladder arrangement, in the follow
ing simple prescription, if taken be-
fore the stage Of Rright,s disease: '----
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescription,
stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be
| put up if asked to do so. He further
stated that while this prescription is
often prescribed in rheumatic Attic
tions with splendid results, he could
see no reason why it would not be a
splendid remedy for kidney and urinary
troubles and backache, as it has a pc
culiar action upon the kidney struc-
ture, cleansing these most important
organs and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids and
waste matter which cause sickness and
suffering. Those of our readers who
suffer can make no mistake in giving
| it trial.
