SIXTY MINERS MEET DEATH
IN WYOMING COAL MINE
Gas Explosion In Same Mine In
Which, in 1908, One Hundred and
Slxty-nine Lives Were
Snuffed Out.

Hanna, Wyo.-This camp was Wis
tied by another catastrophe Saturday
afternoon, and the lives of probably
sixty men were snuffed out by an ex-
plosion Of gas in mine No. / of the
Union Pacific Coal company. A fire
had been raging below the tenth level
for a week, and the force of 200 min
ers had been laid off for the day, fear
ing an accident might occur. Super
intendent Briggs and Foreman Bur-
ton. with a crew of eighteen men, all
experienced miners, with gas men
and fire fighters, went down into the
workings early in the morning to
fight the conflagration, which was
rapidly eating its way through the
workings.
At o'clock the men above the
workings, the idle miners in their
homes and about town, were startled
by an awful roar, followed by a heavy
boom and the shaking of the earth
and trembling of the buildings. All
knew what had happened, and there
was rush to the mine. Both entries
had caved in and mine timbers had
been blown great distances about the
outside workings. Relief parties went
to work to secure the bodies, for they
knew there was little hope of any of
the men being alive. While the relief
party was at work, second explosion
occurred
The second explosion occurred at
10:30 o'clock at night, snuffing out
the lives of the members of a rescue
party, including State Mine Inspector
D. NJ Slies. The names of the men
killed in the first explosion were as
certained from the company's books
but those of the rescuers were not
known, as no record was kept of those
who volunteered for this dangerous
work
That none hesitated in responding
to the call for volunteers in the res
cue of their fellow workmen after the
first explosion, is shown in the fact
that not working official of the three
mines of the Union Pacific Coal com
pany in this camp is left. All were
in the mine seeking to aid theil
stricken friends when the second ex
plosion transformed mine No 1 into
a shambles.
A further evidence that the leaders
Of the men of the camp were there is
shown in the fact that every off1cia
member of the local lodge of United
Mine Workers of America is missing
supposedly dead in the mine.
The disaster brings the number o1
victims of explosions in mine No.
during the twenty years of it's opera
ton to the neighborhood of 800. The
greatest previous loss of life occurred
On June 80, 1908, when 169 men fel
victims to deadly gas.

NJ NEURALGIA

The real meaning of the word Neu.
ralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who
has suffered with the malady will not
be so anxious to know of its nature
as to hear of its antidote. Though
scarcely recognized by the profession
and people half century ago, it is
, now one of the most common and pain
full ailments which aff1ict 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 salts
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.

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 q 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.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
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 it
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
Sld-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DIR.
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is of Mem
MONTE origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale Of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory. and fur
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in g. great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THF
USE OF PERUNA and. its value in the
treatment Of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe il

A Mind Reader.

Pat had got hurt-not much more
than a scratch, it is true, but his en-
plOyer had visions of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at once
to the hospital. After the house sur
geon had examined him carefully, he
said to the nurse:
"As subcutaneous abrasion is not OBJ
servable, do not think there is any
reason to apprehend tegumental cica-
trization of the wound"
Then, turning to the patient, ne
asked, quizzically:
What do you think, Pat?"
Sure, sir" said Pat, you're a won
derful thought-reader, doctor. You
took the very words out of my
mouth. That's just what was going

ANARCHISTS ATTACK OFFICERS.
Bomb Explodes In Hands of WouId-be
Assassin and He is MortaIly
Wounded

New York.-As the result of the ex-
plosion of bomb in the hands of an
anarchist, two men were fatally in
Iured and four others We're slightly
hurt
The bomb was intended for the po-
dee, who, with rough firmness, had
broken up a meeting of 10000 unem-
ployed. 1t exploded prematurely in
the hands of the assassin, horribly
wounding him, killing his companion,
injuring slightly four policemen, and
throwing to the ground a score of
those who were massed in the vicinity.
Little is known of the bomb-thrower
beyond what he has told himself. Rem
dered unconscious at first, he later
regained his senses at hospital, and
under prolonged questioning declared
that he had been commissioned to kill
the police. They had beat him, he
said. At first he had insisted that he
acted alone, and later when he said
that his act was inspired, he refused
to reveal the identity of his COM
panions.

for Explosion in Coal Mine.

Chieago.-W. D. Haywood, former
secretary of the Western Federation
of Miners, denounced President
Roosevelt. Governor Gooding of Idaho
and other public officials at a mass
meeting of Socialists, held here Sun

testing against the use of troops in
the strike of miners in Alaska.
The throwing of the bomb in New
York he referred to as the work of
a poor deluded mortal who sought to
take by force what he was in justice
entitled to-" and the explosion in a
coal mine in Wyoming he character
ized as murder which the capitalist
mine owners were responsible for"
No reference was made by Haywood

he urged the necessity for funds to
defend Steve Adams, whose trial on
a charge of numbering Arthur L. Col
