SEVENTY MINERS MEET DEATH
Hundreds of Friends and Relatives of Explosion Victims Gathered, Grief-Strcken, PitifuI Thronq,
 About Mine.

Cheyenne, WyO.-Between 55 and 70 men lost their lives in two explosions in coal mine No. 1, owned by the Union Pacific Coal Company, at Han na Saturday afternoon. The explo- sion was caused by gas and coal dust, and each was followed by fire. The first occurred at o'clock when IS mine workers, including a superin- tendent and three bosses, were killed.
 The second explosion occurred at 10:30 o'clock Saturday night, snuffing out the lives of from 40 to 50 members of a rescue party which included State Mine Inspector D. E. Nellie. The names of the men killed in the first eXplo- sion were learned from the company's books, but those of the rescuers are not known as no record was kept of those who volunteered for this dan gerous work.
 The widest excitement prevailed Sunday in Hanna and at the mine where hundreds are congregated, in cluding widows, children and other
 
 women are running about wringing their hands and crying, while many lit tie children, separated from their mothers in the semi-panic condition that prevailed, are weeping with fear.
 When the second explosion occurred additional appeals were telegTaphed to all surrounding towns for assistance One train is being rushed west from Omaha, carrying officials of the Union Pacific Railroad and the Union Pacific men employed at the mines were pressed into rescue work
 The bodies of of the IS men who lost their lives in the first explosion were located Saturday night, but ow- ing to the increasing volume of gas which threatened to explode at any moment no effort was made to remove them to the surface.
 Fire started in the colliery Sunday, March 23, since which time attempts at regular intervals have been made to extinguish it. Saturday it was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings and they were notified not to report for duty. Super intendent Briggs, with a team of pick ed men, the best and most experienced in the camp, went into the mine to fight the fire, but at o'clock the flames had become beyond their con trol and at o'clock connected with the walled-off gas and a terrific eX- plosion followed.
 The victims are all below the tenth level, and it is likely that flames have consumed the corpses.

NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu- falgia is nerve-pain, and any one who has suffered with the malady will not be so anxious to know of it's nature as to hear of it's antidote. Though scarcely recognized by the profession and people half a century ago, it is now one of the most common and pain full ailments which afflict humanity. As now generally understood the word signifies an affection of the nervous system, with pain in the course of the principal nerves.
 The two great causes of Neuralgia are, Impoverishment of the Blood and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and the treatment of it is not so obscure as many would be led to suppose. The first thing is to relieve the pain, which is done more quickly and satis- factorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by any other remedy known; the second object is to remove the cause, which is accomplished by the abundant use of nourishing food, of a nature to strengthen and give tone to both the muscular and nervous systems.

Our baby boy broke out with ec- zema on his face when one month old. One place on the side of his face the size of a nickel was raw like beefsteak for three months, and he would cry out when I bathed the parts that were sore and broken out. 1 gave him three months treatment from a good doctor, but at the end of that time the child was no better. Then my doctor recommended Cuticura. After using a cake of Cuticura Soap, third of a box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well and his face was as smooth as any baby's.

The Evolution of
 Household Remedies.

The modern patent medicine bUsi- ness is the natural outgrowth of the old-time household remedies.
 In the early history of this country, EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be found in almost every house, compound ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as picra, which was aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. A score or more of popular, homemade remedies were thus compounded, the formulae for which were passed along from house to house, sometimes written, sometimes verbally communicated. N
 The patent medicine business is natural outgrowth from this whole some, old-time custom. In the begin ming, some enterprising doctor, im- pressed by the usefulness of one of these homemade remedies, would take it up, improve it in many ways, manu- facture it on large scale, advertise il mainly through almanacs for the home, and thus it would become used over a large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE HOLD REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC FORM.
 Peruna was originally one of these old-time remedies. It was used by the Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it was offered to the public for sale. Dr. Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Men nonite origin. First, he prescribed it for his neighbors and his patients. The sale of it increased, and at last he established a manufactory and fur nished it to the general drug trade.
 Peruna is useful ill great many climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds, sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE USE OF PERUNA and its value in the treatment of these ailments. They have learned to trust and believe in Dr. Hartman's judgment, and to rely on his remedy, Peruna.

SIS AN ACRE REALIZED ON
 CROP IN WESTERN CANADA.
ANOTHER FARMER REALIZES $225o PER ACRE FROM HIS
 WHEAT CROP LAST YEAR.

Charles Mccormick of Kenville, Manitoba, writes:
 During the season of 1907 I had 100 acres in crop on the s. w quarter of section IS, township 35, range 27 west of the Principal Meridian, Wes- tern Canada, yielded as follows:
 "S0 acres at 22 bushels per acre, which I sold for 90 cents per bushel; and 20 acres oats yielding 60 bushels per acre I sold for 35 cents per bushel so that my total crop realized $2,004- 00. From this l deducted for expenses of threshing, hired help, etc, $40000, leaving me net profit on this years crop of over $1 ,600."
 Thomas Sawatzky of Herbert, Sas- katchewan, says:
 'The value of my crop per acre of wheat is $22.50. I threshed 1,750 bushels of wheat from 70 acres, and was offered 90 cents a bushel for it. Oats, 15 acres, 500 bushels; and barley, acres, so bushels. I do not know if I have been doing the best in this district, but I know if all the farmers were doing as well, Western Canada would have no kick coming as far as grain growing is concerned; and I further say that if you want to put this in one of your ad- vertisements, this is true and I can put my name to it."
