with all foulness and rendering even
such gases beneficial to the system by
giving it more oxygen. The lungs puri-
fy the blood with oxygen from the air.

Sheep Raising In Australia.

"Sheep raising conditions are about
he same in Australia as they are
lere." said F. L. Burt, of South Da-
kota. who is engaged in the sheep
raising business both in this country
and In Australia. The sheep over
here are raised manly for their wool,
although the meat is also quite a
valuable product for both the local
and export trade. The price Of both
wool and meat in Australia is regu-
ated by London values. The meat
which is shipped in cold storage YES
sells. can be kept fresh very easily
Farm laborers in Australia receive
N the neighborhood of $50 a month,
which Is practically the same as they
get here. In the towns the mechanics
are paid about $3.50 to 81 a day. Liv-
ing may possibly be a little CHEAPER
over there, but the difference is not
very great. AS far as agricultural
conditions generally are concerned
you have many advantages here. The
climate in Australia is too dry. The
winters there are not so cold, how.
ever, and while the summers are hot
the heat Is not oppressive. "-Balti

NIGHT RIDERS ATTACK MILITIA
Attack Followed the Firing On of Three Men by
Soldiers, Who Discovered Men in Mill Yard.

Memphis, Tenn.-A dispatch from
Union City confirmed the report of an
attack by a detail of militiamen by
a band of men. presumably night
riders at the Gleason saw mill near
Samburg. According to the dispatch
one of the soldiers was wounded in
the hand and about so shots were
exchanged between the military and
the attacking party.
The attack followed the firing on
of three men by soldiers who dis
covered the men in the mill yard and
who, when challenged, refused to
halt. Spasmodic firing continued for
several hours, and was followed at
midnight by a fusilade. When the
fire was returned by the saldiers, the
band, which was composed of about
30 men, disappeared. With the ar
rival of reinforcements from Camp
Rankin, a search was made, but none
of the band could be found. Later
in the night, the camp was again

"Some two months ago / had humor

They came to look like raw beefsteak, all

the burning was worse and the itching less.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Not less than 10
men were killed in the explosion In
the Mariana mines of the Pitts
burg-Buffalo Coal Company Monday,
and it is feared by many residents OF
the little model mining town that
the death list may exceed that num-
Der.
Ten of the bodies were recoVerel
in the main entrance. The others
we're distributed in the twenty-nlne
rooms or workings of the mine, en-
trance. The first rescuing party
worked their way through the wreck
age at the foot of the shaft and al
most Immediately found the ten bod
les, and the report was given out
that all had been found in this one
entry, but this report was found to
be erroneous, when the rescuers came
to the surface. 1t was pay day at
the mine and 142 of the pay envel-
ones were not called for and 1t is be-
lieved that practically every man who
did not call for his pay during the
day is numbered among the victims.
The workings in which the catas-
trophe happened is known as the
Rachel and Agnes mines, in reality
double mine, with underground con-
nections. Deputy State Mine Inspec-
tor Henry Loutti, few minutes be-
fore the explosion, had completed a
two-days inspection, which had reveal
ed no cause for apprehension. He
and General Manager Kerr, Of the
company, came to the surface in the
cage operated in one of the shafts
few minutes before. Mine Foreman
.Ienry Thompson and two miners en-
tered the cage and it was started to-
wards the bottom of the 50O-foot
shaft. There was an ominous rumb-
ling and a trembling of the ground
round about the mouth of the shaft
as from an earthquake and an instant
later there was a terr--Ic report, and
the cage was hurled up the shaft
house, the mine foreman and the two
men still in it. The bodies of the
men were hurled through the top of
the building and far beyond It.
Thompson was dead when picked up,
while the others although mortally
injured we're hurried to hospital.
So great was the force of the ex-
plosion that shattered portions of the
wood work about the mouth of the
shaft were blown into Zen Mile

shaft.

Peter Arnold, an American, was
brought out alive from the Rachel
shaft at midnight. Jos. Kearney, one
of the rescuing party, reported that
there were other men alive. Arnold
was found unconscious 100 feet from

the surface, he said the explosion &C.

Two women, wife and mother OF

former tried to throw herself down

state constabulary rescued her and
carried her away. She was Mrs. Geo.
Ackes, a negress.
Mrs. Jos. Holmes, whose son is in
the mine, went insane in the crowd
soon afterwards. Crying that her
son was killed, she attacked any one
who tried to soothe her and finally
the constabulary arrested her and
wereforced to carry her away.
The noise of the explosion was an
ominous summons to all of the people
of the little town and they hurried
to the shaft house, each seeking
loved one and most of them learning
that that loved one was down in the
workings and in all probability dead
Among the women many were hys-
terical and their shrieks and cries
were heartrending. Others were ST.
lent in their grief but in their drawn
faces could be read the awful agony
they we're enduring. Wives, mothers,
sisters, daughters and sweethearts
gathered in little groups, all frantic
to do something or to learn some
thing, but unable to do either. They
beseiged the officers OF the company,
the mining authorities and the work
ers. but none of these could offer
them comfort. All felt certain OF the
fate of those 500 feet below the sur
face. but none would dispel the rays
of hope entertained until certainty
was forced upon them by the clearing
of the shaft.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. Two theories are
entertained. one is that a pocket OF
gas was struck by one of the miners,
quickly filling the workings and then
igniting from a lamp. The other
theory is that from a well on the rul-
ton farm, under which the mine is To-
Gated, penetrated the workings. The
qnl in the vicinity is said to be gas
Gus and it is POSSIBLE that gas may
have sceped through the coal stratum
until it accumulated in sufficient vol
ume to cause the disaster.
