 When the train slowed down at the Missouri Pacific crossing in the east part of Newton, two men were seen by the engineer to jump from the train and run south. The south door of the express car was found open when the tram reached the Newton depot.
 It is believed these men were the robbers. and that they made a detour around the business part of the town to the west yards of the Santa Fe. where they may have boarded Santa Fe train No. IT. which left the depot twenty minutes after No. 115 arrived
 Three suspicious characters were ta- ken off the blind baggage of this train when 1t reached Wichita and are being held for investigation.

SEVENTY ME HAY BE DEAD

Cheyenne, Wyo.. March 29.-Between fifty i've and seventy men, it developed today, lost their lives in two explos- ions yesterday and last night in coal mine No. 1 of the Union Pacific Coal Company. at Hanna. The explosions were caused by gases anu coal dust. and each was followed by fire.
 The first explosion occurred at o'clock, killing eighteen miners. In- ciuding a superintendent and three bosses.
 The second explosion occurred at l0:30 o'clock last night. snuffing out the lives of from forty to fifty rescu- CTS. including State Mine Inspector D. M. File.
 The widest excitement prevailed to- day in Hanna and at the mines where hundreds of persons congregated, in- cluding widows, children and other relatives of the victims. Men and wo- men are hunnfng about wringing their hands and crying, while many little children, separated from their mothers, are sobbing with fear.
 When the secon explosion occurred. additional appeals were telegraphed to all surrounding towns for assistance. One train is rushing west from Omaha. carrying officers of the Union Pasific Railroad and of the Union Pasific Coal Company.
 } The regular force of men employed at Mines Nos. and 3 were pressed into rescue work, which is extremely difficult.
 The bodies of four of the eighteen men who lost their lives in the first explosion were found last night but. owing to the increasing volume of gas. which threatened to explode at any mo- ment. no effort was made to remove them to the surface.
 Fire started in the colliery last Sum day. Since that time attempts at reg ular intervals have been made to ex- tinguish the blaze. Yesterday 1t was deemed unsafe to send the miners down into the workings and they were told not to report for duty.
 Superintendent Briggs. with the best and most exDeFienced handR in the camp. went into, the mine to- fight the fire, but ht g o'clock the flames were beyond their control.
 At 3 o'clock the fire reached the gas and terrific explosion followed. Tn a few minutes many men volunteered to enter the mine to rescue any pos sible survivor Fumes and fire hinder ed the rescuers but they made sane progress. After a long struggle. the volunteers got well into the mine. Those on the surface had begun to expect results from the intrepid daring of the rescuers, but at 10:30 o'clock the camp was startled by a second ex- plosion that partially shut off the shaft the mine and likely killed the vol0n- teers.
 The victims are all tenth level and 1t Is possible that flames have con- stunned the corpses.

 The news that Governor Hughes had finally declined to interfere and stay the execution was received here late today and was communicated to Gillette. who Aeard the words that took away his only hope for life. with that same stoicism and indifference that has marked his conduct during and since his memorable trial at Herkimer, N. r..
 Mrs. Gillette. the mother, was pros- trated when she heard the news.
 The condemned man was permitted a farewell visit with his father mother and aunt. Miss Catherine Gillette. He is preparing a statement which 1t Is expected will be given out after the eIectrocution
 MT. and Mrs. Gillette returned from Albany last night and this afternoon Warden Benham permitted them to see Chester for the last time. Mrs Gil- lette carried a white rose to the con demned mans cell and her sister-tn tn- law carried a red flower. Gillette was not allowed to take the flowers. but they were placed where he could see them.
 The parting between Gillette and hls mother was deeply affecting.

 A carefully prepared list of the miss ing as a result of the two explosions yesterday in mine No. i of the Union Pacific Coal Company. contains fifty eight names. and of this number, five dead bodies have been identified.

to be believed that they will forgive
Dolliver Neither is it to be presum-
ed that all the Stand-patters are Dol
liver's friends. We should not be sur
prised if Dolliver was not Mr.. Per-
kins' first choice for senator Mr..
Dolliver will have to fight for the sen
atorial succession. Just at this time
tle possibility presents itself that he
may be Nominated for Vice President.
1t is highly probable that should Mr..
Dolliver declare his Willingness to ac-
Icept he could receive the nomination.
We would advise him to take it.
Contrary to the general supposition
there is nothing dishonorable about
being Vice President of the United
States. Quite a fair percentage of
Nice-Presidents have become Presi-
dents. 1t is something to be heir-ap-
parent TO the Presidency. 1t is some.
thing to know that no text book OF
Z. S. History will be complete with.
out your name, it is something to look
forward to the glorious Chautauaua
possibilities awaiting the eloquent ex
Vice President.
One summer two circuses came TO
town. Such things do happen even
outside of story books. A youngstel
whom we knew was told by his father
that he might go to one of them and
the boy came TO US for advice. We
told him to go to the first show There
show. There might be a cyclone OF
a railroad wreck or the old man might
change his mind or run out of money,
or there might be measles in The
family. DECIDEDLY the first show was
the one to see, besides there was all
always the chance that the old man
might need an excuse for going to
the second show too.
BY all means we would advise Mr..
Dolliver to go to the first show, to
take the Vice Presidency. There are
some ninety senators but only one
Vice President.

RACES NOT EXCITING.

There has been considerable criti-
cism of the Firemens Tournament
by those who should know, on the
ground that the races are not SUI
ficently exciting and interesting. 1t
is said that the attendance at tho
first day of the tournament was ex-
cellent and the crowd was ready an1
|enNious to enthuse. Then a company
came out and ran against itself
and a stopwatch. The crowd wonder
ed when the racing was to commence
Then another team came out and beat
itself down the track. Then a third
and fourth team followed. Then
somebody cheered and the fellows
in the grand stand asked what had
happened, and was told that sokeone
had won the "first race.
1t was hair-raising performance
and part of the crowd stayed until
the program was finished. The sec
ond day there was a big crowd in
town. bigger than on the day before
but the people contented themselves
with the Ocean Wave" and the edu

| Now this criticism is not intended fol
the Denison firemcn or the Denisor
committee. They could not help them
selves. They had to conduct the races
according TO the Association rules
The Denison people who fnd fle

criticism for they realize that Where
as the tournament barely paid ex

profit if the races had been worth the
admission price.

The only races that We're of interest
