as claimed, but since that time there
may have been such a deterioration as
to render 1t a very different water.
often waters will be strong OF mineral
at one time and weak at another,
strong In a dry season and weak in a
wet season. 1t is this varlableness of
mineral waters that has led the ply
sician to prescribe drugs possessing
the same properties instead of the
water itself, though there are many
waters for which 1t is difficult for them
to offer a substitute.
Hydrotherapy, or water, cure. has
been a favorite in the therape utic
world for many a year. A recent case
possesses considerable interest. A New
York invalid was told by his ply
sicians that his days were numbered
and that he had just as well prepare

gallon of a certain kind of water every
day for two years he might get we'll.
He tried It. and after drinking 2.920
quarts of water In two years was pro-
nounced entirely cured of his malady.
There are many curious things in
the mineral water world. Logansport,
Indiana. boasts of a well that produces
two different Kinds of water. The only
other American we'll or spring of this
sort is In Hamilton County. Ohio, about
fifteen miles north of Cincinnati. Even
Alaska has it's mineral springs In pro-

been opened up in a commercial way.

repute as a table water. Shenandoah

MANY CROSSED THE SEA
Transatlantic Passenger Travel Was
Heavier Than Last Year.

New York, Dec. 30.-Trans-Atla
tic passenger travel for the year 1909
shows some improvement over that
for 1908. but is below that of 1877,
which was banner year in the steam
ship business.
A statement issued today shows
that westbound or incoming figures
have returned to normal. except in
regard to steerage passengers In
1908 the eastbound or outgoing pas
sengers were greatly in excess of the
incoming. due to the industrial de-
preston of the United States.
During the year 1909. all steamship
companies operating from this port
carried approximately 100000 pas
sengers, of whom 1,247,244 were west
bound and 4S2,756 eastbound.
The first cabin business during 1909
in both directions was nearly as good
as in 1907.

TRIAL DIVORCE GRANTED
Hammond, Ind, Court Takes New Step
in Social Surgery.

Chicago, Dee. 30.-What was dub
bed trial divorce by Chicago law
yers, was granted at Hammond, Ind,
by Judge w. S. Richter in the Lake
county superior court. Some of the
attorneys who learned of the unusual
divorce declared the court had no
precedent Tor his action and that the
restrictions imposed could not be held
to be binding under the laws of In
diana.
Judge Richter termed his new form
of separation q limited divorce BY
the terms of the decree Mr.. and Mrs.
William Wohole are divorced for five
years, after which they may live to-
gether if they desire. If. in the mean
time. they wish to rewed they will be
unable to do SO.
The question arises whether, during
the five years period, the couple should
go outside of the state and rewed. and
then decide to get divorce again
after the expiration of the period they
would have; to get two divorces to be
legally separated.

JAPAN IS DISCOURAGED.
Looked for Business Revival Has Not
Arrived.

Toxic, Monday. Dec. g. The eco
nomic situation in Japan at present
is not encouraging and the looked for
business revival has not arrived. AS
a result, the depression in manufac-
turing is very great and the great ag-
ricultural section throughout the
island is gloomy. This is primarily
due to the low price of rice following
bounteous harvest.
The weaving industry is particular
ly hard hit by the depression; limit
is being put upon production by
agreement among the weavers I'm
mediate release from this embarrass-
ment is not looked for in economic
circles, but on account of the fact of
a magnificent harvest and a good silk
year, together with the recovery of
the balance of trade which is rapidly
being accomplished. it is hoped that
greater degree of content will be
brought about at least by spring.

dad" GRIFFITH ILL.
Oldest 1rainman in Kansas in Santa
Fee Hospital.

Conductor J. H. Griffith, who is I'M
doubtedly one of the oldest and best
known railroad trainmen in Kansas is
seriously i'll at the Santa Fe hospital
with heart disease. The last reports
from the hospital stated that he was
gradually growing weaker and his re-
covery is doubtful
Dad Griffith has been with the
Santa Fe almost 40 years-this is a rec
ord that can hardly find an equal in
the west For the last % years he has
been conductor on the passenger be-
tween Topeka and ST. Joseph and it is
on this run that he is so we'll known.
1t is safe 10 say that there isn't a reg
ular patron of the Santa Fee in the west
who does not either know Dad Grif-
fifth or who knows him by reputation.
For zen years previous to his train
service Conductor Griffith was an eEgi-
reer on the road. He worked up to this
POSITION on the Santa Fe.
He is popular man and innumerable
stories of his kind actions toward pas
sengers. his close attentions to all of
their wants are told in railroad cir
CleS. 1t is said that he is as accom-
modating as the first day of his run
rs years ago-and it is unusual for a
conductor old in the service to retain
such traits of character

NIGH UNTO DEATH.
Mine Superintendent Is Rescued in
Unconscious Condition.

McAlester, Okla, Dec. 30.-After
having been entombed % hours in a
smoke filed cut of the Bolen-Darnall
company's coal mine here, Superin-
tendent John Brown was rescued
alive, but unconscious, this morning.
Had his rescuers failed to reach him
Brown would surely have died within
another hour. AS 1t is his condition
is serious, but the mine physicians be-
1ieve he has fighting chance for life.
Brown, who is a well known min
ing man of Hartford, Ark, risked his
life in a heroic attempt to rescue An
CELLO Asnicar, a shot firer, who was
entombed following an explosion on
one of the lower levels Of the mine
late Tuesday. Brown apparently had
not reached even close to the point
where Asnicar had been overcome.
when he himself succumbed to the
foul gases and smoke that choked the
various passages. The shot firer's fate
still remains unknown.
The explosion occurred just as the
day force was emerging from the main
shaft and before the night shift had
entered the mine. Asnicar had re-
manned below to set off a number of
shots and this work evidently had
caused the explosion.
SO much smoke belched from the
shafts that it was impossible for res
cuers to enter and Immediately men
We're set to work tunneling in an eff
fort to reach Asnicar. 1t finally be
came apparent that this would be
useless and Superintendent Brown
volunteered to enter the mine with
Pit Boss Weatherford. The smoke
had become less dense and the
chances of success seemed favora BILE.
After these two men had been down
several hours those on the surface be-
came alarmed and additional reScuers
started in after the two men.
Weatherford was found unconscious
nfter a brief search, was brought to
the top and soon recovered. No trace
of Brown could be found. The ex-
plosion occurred near the first landing
of the shaft and wrecked the hosting
machinery there. Brown was known
to have passed the first landing safely
and to have entered the smoking
channels beneath. Some of these
channels have no air courses as a re-
suit of the explosion.
Party after party volunteered to GO
after Brown, however, and the at
tempt at his rescue was kept up con-
stantly day and night. till this morn
ing. They were successful just al
daylight today, when one of the men
stumbled upon the superintendent
