ESCAPE FROM LIVING DEATH
Twenty Miners in Cherry (Illinois)
Rescued After All Hope Gone.

Cherry, Ill.,, Nov. 81. - Twenty
saved, 81 known dead and 1876 miss
ing, was the record at the ST. Paul
mine today. Ten dead were brought
to the surface today and 81 more
dead we're located in the second
level, but were not brought up on
account of black damp.
What had promised to be Cherry's
real day of Thanksgiving ended in a
night Of hope deferred to despair
Tonight no living man or boy has
been added to the list of rescued to-
day.
All day the tolling Of the church
bells resounded in Cherry and Spring
Valley. Eighteen bodies were in
tered. At the mine a dozen confined
victims remained awaiting their re-
moval. While a score Of caskets
were piled nearby for the bodies
which are to come. Services for the
dead were held outside the churches.
into which Coroner Malm deemed it
unadvisable that the bodies be taken
From the still untitled graves, in
which the Roman Catholic dead were
to be placed, the priest hurried to the
mine entrance where, with a second
priest, he waited to administer the
last rites for the dying should his ser
vices be needed.

had been appealed to for protection.
Raynesford was in a state of mob
authority, and the few white residents
of the place were powerless to ac-
complish anything for the relief of the
situation.
The conductor of the train. cvi-
IDENTIFY being at fault, is still missing
and the railroad people are lending
aid in the search for his apprehension.
The Greeks, however, are being elim-
mated from the situation, the railroad
company having issued orders for the
release of all foreign laborers on their
lines. Many Greeks left Stamford yes
terday, and more will follow, it is
understood, until there will be none
but Americans on the section work
on the Billings & Northern.
Hugh Graves, the Fergus county
stockman who was on the train, is
reported to be recovering from a
serious injury. Mr.. Graves, who has
relatives in Hobson, was the shipper
of several carloads of horses. The
stock was not injured.

the present city of Columbus, Ga. Al

ed to Florida when the boy was but
five years old. and took up her abode
near where Ocala now stands. 1t is
here that Osceola developed into man
hood. According to the statements of
Cudjoe, interpreter to the American
army during the second Seminole war,
and who had known Osceola from
childhood. the youth possessed all the
requirements necessary to become
great war chief. as he always excelled
in the Indian exercises and sports. In
early manhood OsceOla was described
as being of medium height, with a
superb figure, and a graceful, elastic
step. His black hair, as in after life,
hung in tresses about his face, which
was rendered attractive by high, full

When Fort King (near the present
Ocalal was established, March, 1927,
the army officers of that post often
had occasion to notice Osceola, for
he was a frequent visitor to the fort.
They described him as possessing
great pride of character, joined with
no small amount of self-esteem and
vanity. He dressed with care and
neatness and decorated his person
with a number of ornaments, chief
among which was an ever present
plume of ostrich feathers, doubtless
purchased from some trader" The
young Indian was well liked by the
officers: he was friendly and law
abiding and his services were fire.

ICE CREAM INSPECTOR

DR.. Harvey W.. Wiley, the govern
ment food chemist, has found a new
victim for his spear. This time it is
the virulent ice cream. In his paper
on the subject DR.. Wiley says:
'Inasmuch as ice cream is prescrib-
ed frequently by physicians for inval-
ids and convalescents, and inasmuch
as it is largely eaten by children and
others whose stomachs have not full
vigor. a definite idea its compost
ton is necessary to prevent injury
and abuse. Genuine ice cream is an
article of diet that should be consum-
ed in moderation, not only by the sick,
but by the we'll"
Dr. Wiley has prepared a set of
standards for ice cream makers, and
this is issued by the department of
agriculture. Under the law it is for
hidden to use eggs, corn flour or
starch. or mucilaginous bodies to
make the ice cream firm. The law
also provides that ice cream to be
sol as such must contain II per CENT.
10. Jutter fat for vanilla flavor and II
per cent. for fruit f1avors, and that all
thickeners, glucose and artificial col
ors or ingredients must be eliminated.

sERLIN's POPULATION LOSS

Consul George Nicholas lift of MI
refberg. makes the following report
of the effect of a year of industrial de-
preston on the populations of Ger
man cities:
Few German cities show any mark
ed increase in population during the
year 1908. Nuremberg was more pros
porous than most of them. but must
think it's birth-rate excess for prac
tically all of its increase in popula
ton.
The population of Berlin, at the
close of the year 1907. was 2,111.361 :
at the close of the year 1908 it was
only 2,1O6.492, a net loss of 4419. The
vital statistics of the city show an ex-
cess of births over deaths of 16,415,
but this was more than balanced by
a net loss of emigration of 20.S54.
In the month of March. 1908. a
month of great industrial activity and
good demand for labor, no less than
80. 2OS residents of Berlin left that city
for new fields.-World.

A report reached Ocala yesterday
afternoon that Melton Yates, young
man who has been living at Evinston
and Mcintosh for the past three years,
attempted to commit suicide by shoot
ing himself with a revolver.
He pointed the weapon upward I'M

wound is said to be such a bad one
that it is almost bound TO result ia
tally.
Young Yates is reported to have
told a friend several days ago that he
meant to take his life, as he was tired
of living.
The unfortunate young man is said
to have been very successful in his
farming operations for the past few
years. and especially SO this season,
and no cause can be assigned for his
attempt upon his life yesterday
We tried last night to get additional
and more definite information about
the affair, but the telephone booth at
Mcintosh had evidently been closed,
as no response could be gotten from
several efforts of central here.
