SEVENTY men DEAD
IN Mine DISASTER
Entombed by Explosion in Co..
Iiery Near Wigan, Eng.

Wigan, Eng, Aug. 20.-1t is now be-
lieved that not a single man of the
seventy miners who were entombed
by an explosion in the Maypole coal
mine here survived the disaster. The
venttlati1ig fan, which was put out of
order by the explosion, was repaired
and, the mine having been cleared of
gases, the rescue party again descend
ed. The sight which met the eyes
was horrifying. Not far from the bot
tom OF the shaft eighteen bodies were
found, all frightfully mutilated. Legs
and arms had been blown off and
heads battered almost beyond recog-
milton.
The management Of the mine de-
olares that between sixty and seventy
men were under ground at the time of
the explosion and that there is no
hope that any one will be brought out
alive. The women and children, how
ever, who remained at the pit all
night, refuse to leave until the bodies
Of their dead are brought to the sur
face. Nothing else will convince them
of the hopelessness of waiting.

Great Race for State Fair.

Devotees of the sport of kings"
will have an additional incentive to
watch at the races at the Minnesota
State Fair, Aug. 81 Sept. S through
the performance of Highball. In the
second heat of the free-for-all trot on
the Peoria track last, Friday. when
this remarkable horse went the fast
est mile ever trotted by a gelding in
2:O3 "a. This equals the Sweet
Marie record, second heat made in
1907, and sets a new worlds record
in the time made by gelding on a
race track during a race.
Highball did the quarter in 1884,
the half in one minute fiat, and the
three-quarter in 100 "a. He won
the race in straight heats.
Highball, as most horse fanciers
know, is one of the entries in the
$4,000 free-for-all trot announced
for the first dav of the Minnesota
State Fair, and he will be in one of
the fastest fields ever assembled on
any track in the country.

VALUED AT $4,000.
Government Officials Seize Property
of Mrs. "Jack" Gardner.


of Mrs. "Jack" Gardner.
Chicago, Aug. 20-United States
custom officials here have seized tap
estries, paintings, statuary and rare
pieces of armor, valued at $4,000,
the property of Mrs. Jack" Gardner
of Boston, which were bought abroad
for Mrs. Gardeners palace in Back Bay,
Mass. The goods, the customs Off
GERS allege, were brought into this
country as the "household goods of
Mrs. e. Rockwell Crane Cnadbourne
of this city, friend of Mrs. Gardner,
on which Chadbourne, the government
officers say, placed a valuation of 49,
900. An Investigation was begun by
the customs authorities and when the
real value ofthe goods was discovered
the tax of $4,000 was placed upon
them by Collector of Customs Ames.
Fines and penalties for alleged eva
sion of the customs laws were fixed at
$4,000, which, it is said, has been
paid. However, it is declared that
$4,000 additional will have to be paid
before possession of the property can
be secured. Officials of the customs
department have turned the case over
to District Attorney Sims for further
investigation.

IS A DEGENERATE
Suit Filed by Mrs. Hams May

The solution of the murder Of Will.
lam 3. Annis at the Bayside O.. ~
Yacht club last Saturday by Captain
Peter G. Hams, Jr., U. S. A., who in
the killing was aided by his brother,
Thornton Jenkins Hams, a magazine
writer, is to be found in the fling of a
suit brought by Mrs. Peter G. Hams,
Jr:, against her husband.
The papers were served upon Cap
tain Hams in New York week ago
Monday by a representative of the
Woman's lawyer in Boston.
In this suit Mrs. Hams alleges that
her husband is a degenerate and
charges are made of the most extraor-
binary character. At the same time
the complainant demanded in her Pc
tition that the case itself must be tried
in open court.
If this suit is ever brought to trial
1t would cause the greatest scandal
the United States army has ever had.
The suit itself would be along the
lines of the exposure of the "round
table" in Berlin, where Count zu Eu-
lenberg was charged with gross I'M
natural conduct with other officers.
The papers which were served upon
Captain Hams contain what is called
complete history of the captains
misdoings.
While no names are mentioned yet
there are instances related which date
back to the time when Captain Hams
and his wife were on their honeymoon
and while the captain was stationed
at the army post at Fortress Monroe,
New York, Aug. 20.-John w. McIn.
tyre, of counsel for Captain Hams,
said that the captains defense will be
insanity and that it will be easily

SITUATION LESS SERIOUS

Fifteen Hundred Miiitiamen Remain
on Duty and This Number Is Con-
sidered Ample to Handle Any Trou.
bic That May Occur-EarIy Return
to Normal Conditions Anticipated by
Business Interests.
Springfield, ILL.,, Aug. 20.-Coincident
with the departure for their homes of
the First and Fourth infantry regi-
ments, which have been on riot duty
here, it was announced that the Third
and Fifth infantry regiments will de-
part shortly. This will reduce the
military force here to about fifteen
hundred men, an ample number to
handle the situation, which has shown
a much less serious aspect since the
meeting of the special grand jury.
The riots are now regarded as his
tory and business men anticipate an
early resumption of the normal amount
of business. The reduction of the
force will save the state about $4,000
a day, it is stated. The national
guardsmen have worked hard and eff
fective since their arrival and their
personal conduct, according to officers
and citizens alike, has been ex-
eInplary.
The effect Of the news that the
troops had begun to depart was anx-
iously watched by the state and city
authorities. Since the determination
Of Governor Deneen to establish order
at any cost was evidenced by the sum-
moning of 4,200 soldiers to the city
there has been a notable decrease in
the mob spirit here. At the same time
threats as to what would happen when
the troops left have been numerous
and widespread and there is a we'll
defined fear that the lawless individ-
uals who have not yet been appre-
hended may endeavor to renew the
disturbance later this week.

doing have conducted the office
for the whole county and not for
any particular section.
If nom mated and elected I will
give the duties of the office my
closest personal attention, and
conduct the affairs of the office in
an intelligent manner.
At this time I wish to thank all
who have stood by me so faithfully
and loyalty in the past and hope l
merit their continued support.
To those whom I am not acquainted
with I hope to meet you some
day, I will appreciate work done
for me by all who will kindly
give me their support.
