The Entombed Miners Rescued.

Pittsburg, Pa, May AFTER being
entomed since last Friday noon in the
Berwind- White Coal company mine
No. 36, at Foustwell, near here, the
seven miners who were shut off from
the world by sudden rush of water
caused by the breaking of a wall of an
abandoned mine, were found by the re-
scuers at 10 o'lcock Tuesday night.
The men were greatly exhausted. Ow-
ing to their weakened condition it was
decided not to bring them out until af-
ter the mine had been drained.
The men were reached by Sidney Ro
don and Charles Ream, who had made
dash through so feet of water-tilled
headings. EARLY in the day John Boil
va, brother of one of the men, and
three comrades made futile attempt
to reach them. They came back half
drowned and reported that portions of
the headings were still completely fill
led with water and that more pumping
would have to be done before the i'm
prisoned men could be reached. The
efforts at pumping were then redoubled.

Getting Ready for the Fourth.

Portland, Ore.-The manifest of the
German steamer Arabia, which has ar
rived from HongkOng and Japanese
ports, shows 28,S45 cases of firecrack-

consignment was in excess of 700 tons

ton of this shipment.

PEARYNEEDS $4,000
To FINANCE EXPEDITION To
NORTH POLE THIS SUMMER.
He Thinks He Was Intended for That
Work-Has Reached Farthest Point
North--Wants to Start in June, This
Year-School Children May Raise
Fund to Help Send Him.

Lack of $50, 900 to finance the expedi-
ton may mean the abandonment of the
dash to the north pole which Com
mander Peary has planned for this
summer. The explorer, who has earned
the distinction of having reached "the
farthest north" and who truly may be
said to live for the purpose of reveal
ing to the world the mysteries of the
pole itself, is deeply downcast at the
possibility that he may not be able to
try again.
"This is a work which l must do,
great work for which l was intended"
said Commander Peary, and with a
confidence that his work must be help
ed from somewhere, he said:
"The money will come; somehow |
feel certain of that. But if l was only
assured now, what relief it would be,
and how | could concentrate all my
energies on the details of the expedi
ton Remember, we were but TIA
miles from the goal on our last trip.
1t would be pity indeed if we could
not try again"
Peary wants to start from New York
the latter part of June. His ship, The
Roosevelt, which proved its highest
worth on the last expedition, is now
being prepared for tie next attack on
the northern ice fields. The greater
part of the $4,000 already subscribed
will be spent in repairing the boat, and
100000 more will be needed for gen.
eral expenses. The Peary Arctic club
is caring largely for the refitting of
the Roosevelt, and it has issued an
appeal for contributions from the peo-
pie of the country, so that a total of
100000 may be raised.
The club feels, as does Commander
Peary himself, that the people should
share in the next expedition. The
idea of permitting the public school
children Of the country to take part in
the movement has been suggested to
Peary. 1t met with his approval, but
he is in doubt as to how such a pro-
gram could be carried out
81 am not complaining" he said,
"but if l was certain about the mate
rial aspect of the expedition a great
burden would be lifted. Did you ever
realize what the details of the prepare
ton for the invasion of the north
means. If anything is left undone or
anything forgotten after we have actu-
ally gotten away then it is too late.
We get along as best we can"
To this gigantic task of discovery
Commander Peary implicitly believes
his fellow countrymen should lend
their interest and support, and his alb
solute confidence that he has been as
signed to attain the goal expresses
his conviction that he will win.
Peary says if conditions are favor
able the objects of the expedition
might be accomplished in one season.
But he might remain north as long as
three years. He was preparing, he
said, for long and strong battle

Blizzard in South Dakota.

Editor McManus Freed.

Pendleton, Ore. May AFTER re-
naming out all night the jury in the
case of John P. McManus, editor of
the Pilot Rock Record, whose trial for
murder of Robert Estes was concluded
Tuesday night, returned a verdict of
not guilty.
Mrs. McManus, who was sitting, an
xiously waiting, by the side of her hus-
band when the verdict was announced,
threw her arms around his neck and
for several minutes the two were wrap
ped in a Loose embrace while tears
streamed down the cheeks of attorneys,
and the spectators present arose in eK-
element to their feet. AS soon as Nc
Manus recovered his composure the
judge wrapped for order and ANNOUNCE
ed that the defendant was discharged.
McManus declared he would never
take another drink of liquor. He left
with his wife for his home at Pilot
Rock.
McManus while under the influence
of liquor, imagined he was being rob-
bed, and installing Estes, gambler,
for the robber, shot him. McManus
never denied killing Estes, but alleged
he was justified in shooting because he
was being robbed. The jury which
acquitted the editor was with one ex-
ception made up of farmers and repre-
sended an aggregate wealth of $780,
900.
