EIGHT Miners DIE
400 MEN lNPERlLLED, BUT MAN
AGE TO REACH THE SURFACE
UNlNJURED.
in ILLINOIS COAL Mine
Unprotected Lamps Carried BY En-
sineer and Party Of his Assistants
are the Cause Of the
Disaster.

st. Louis. Mo.-Eight men were
killed and the lives of 400 others were
lmperilled by an explosion of gas in
mine "A" of the Chicago & Carter
vile Coal company, at Herrin, Ill.
Open lamps carried by the mines
engineer and his assistants, caused the
disaster, according to the long-dis'
lance telephone message from the
mine Office to the Associated Press in
this city. There were three men and
a boy in this party and all lost their
lives.
Prompt action resulted in the safe
exit of the hundreds of men. Within
five minutes of the first reports of
the explosion, the miners in the vicin-
ity of the accident were started to-
ward the surface.
The Dead.
w. T. Pierce, mine engineer; Ell
gene Barrett, assistant engineer; Thos.
Williams, assistant manager; uniden-
titled boy, about Is years old; Geo.
Snyder, miner; Salvatore Greece, min
err; Pietro Romeo, laborer, and Thos.
HARDER, miner.
James Quincy, superintendent of
the mine, and Robert Hueston, man.
ager, headed the first relief party.
Despite the black damp which fioated
into the chambers adjoining those in
which Pierce and his party were
killed, these men climbed into the
workings.
Three bodies blocked their path.
The men were alive. One of them was
A. j. Hueston, a brother of the man.
ager. The others were revived and
all are expected to from the
effects of the gas. The cue next
found the bodies of Snyder, Greece
and Romeo.
The efforts of the rescuers to pene-
trate more deeply into the workings
were ~repulsed by increasing banks of
damp. Fire also began to gain head
way. All efforts are now being di-
rected toward fighting the flames.
News of the disaster spread through
Herrin and there was a rush of hys-
terical women and crying children to
the shafthouse. But as the cage emp
tied load after load of rescued miners,
sobs of anguish gave way to cries of
Joy. These in turn were soon hushed
to murmurs of sympathy as the bodies
of the dead were brought up.
Mine officials are unable to account
for Engineer Pierce's lack of caution
in using unprotected lamps. They
point out, however, hat gas was not
known to exist in the west entries,
and it is believed that the engineers
party stumbled into a recently formed
pocket.

WARDLAW WOMEN ARRAIGNED.
Mother and Aunt of Ocey Snead For
maiIy Accused.

New York, Dec. 26.-Gruesome
phraseology in the indictments against
the Wardlaw sisters, charged with the
murder of Ocey Snead, was made pub
lie in the arraignmept of Mrs. Caro-
lima w. Martin, the victims mother,
and Mrs. Mary Snead, an aunt, in the
tombs police court, when they were
recommitted to the tombs for 80 days
pending e~xtradition to New Jersey.
In the indictments against both it is
charged that they did take the said
Ocey Snead with both their hands and
cast, throw and push said Ocey Snead
into a certain bathtub where there
was a great quantity of water, and
by means of which said Ocey Snead
was choked, s%uffocated and drowned"
Another count charges that Mrs.
Martin and Mrs. Snead did incite, pro.
cure, abet, counsel, hire and command
Virginia Wardlaw to do and commit
murder upon the body of Ocey Snead.
AS heretofore told, the grand jury, as
an additional p~recaution, charges all
three with aiding and abetting the vic
TINS suicide.

Seme Historic
yer
Of January

The first month in the year has al
ways been a fateful one. in English
history, but it began most specially to
be recognized as such during the reign
Of Charles l. It., was on January 4,
1912, that the attempt was made to
arrest the five members. On the tenth
OF the month, three years later, Arch
bishop Laud, a %beheaded, and Jan
uary 80, 1649. saw the kings own head
laid upon the block.
There is probably no. act OF, parlia.
ment. which has ever been the cause
of such amazing ~dissensions and dis
cord as that which brought about the
union between Great Britain and Ire
land. This came into force upon Jan
uary /, 1901. 1t was in the same
month that Richard Trevithick, the
Cornish inventor, perfected the first
steam locomotive which ever moved
upon an English road.
The great William, Pitt, the most
able prime minister who aver con-
trolled the destinies Of the kingdom,
came into Office at Christmas, 1888,
anu uleu III Jduudiy, IoOO. Ills great
rival, Charles James Fox, born in Jan
uary, 1749. only survived Pitt six
months.
One of the greatest boons that a ma
ton ever received from its govern
ment was conferred upon Great Britain
on January l, 1840-namely, penny
postage. Adhesive stamps had been
invented by Mr.. James Chalmers of
Dundee, six years previously, and
these superseded Muiready's envelope
later in the same year.
January has for a long time past
been a very notable month in the his
tory of the British royal family. On
January 25, 1858, the Princess Royal
was married to Prince Frederick Will
liam of Prussia. The German kaiser
was born in January. 1859.
Prince Henry of Battenberg's death
occurred on January 20, 1896, and the
duke of Teck's life came to an end on
the twenty-frst of the month, 1900.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-12-30

One year later, on January %, 1901,
came the end of the most famous reign
in English or any other history. Queen
Victoria died at $50 on the fateful
evening.
In northern ATTITUDES nc nation
fights in winter If it a possibly be
avoided, and yet January has seen
some Of the toughest struggles of mod
ern war. January, 1871, holds the rec
ord for fierce fighting. During that
month there were no fewer than six
terrific battles between the French
and the Germans. The last was Gen.
Trochu's grand sortie from Paris,
which ended in his defeat and in the
extinction of the last hopes of Paris
and her citizens.

A Resolution
CO for 1
New Years

The noblest resolution that any citi-
would be the resolution to live more
faithfully by the golden rule, that sub
lime principle of conduct for this
world and for all worlds. Failure to
live by this law causes the chief sor-
rows and collisions among men, says
Edwin Markham in Success.
Let each earnest man search into
his words and ways, determined to
find the special name in which he
breaks the golden law-his special
habit that works injustice or unhappi-
ness in his shop, his office, his home,
his city. He will find, perhaps, that
in the shop he is in the habit of mis-.
placing tools, and this binders the
work of his comrades; hat in the of
flee he is in the habit of being late
in keeping appointments, and thus
steals other peoples time; that in the
club he is in the habit of belittling
worthy competitors, and thus joins the
gang of thieves who steal regulations;
that in the home he is in the habit Of
monopoliZing the conversation, and
thus fails to draw out the powers Of
others; that in the city he is in the
habit of splitting on the sidewalk, and
thus spoils the comfort of his towns
men; that in business he Is in the
habit Of misrepresenting his goods,
and thus robs under the cover of GUS
tom.

Said Mrs. A TO Mr.. A on Dec. ST.

You certainly can be horrid upon this one night Of all nights
when you should look back upon the things which you have needlessly
robbed me OF during the year just closing. should think you would
be ashamed to sit there and point to my few small pleasures as though
they were vices from which | should escape. There is certainly little
enough in life for me without being deprived of books and social
intercourse. But if must, must, and if the sacrifice of my innocent
pleasures will put a stop to your many vices / presume I must offer
them on the altar of noble and obedent wifehood. But, oh, John, I
did not think you would ask it. Cears)
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-12-30

Tomorrow another year begins. Tonight is the time Of all
times to plan for the future. To resolve; to forswear our petty vices;
to lay aside the evils in our lives. Have you, John, considered what
tonight means to you, and to me? Have you thought of the things
l have gone without and might have had but for your extravaganza?
Have you counted the cost to you, and to me, Of your socaned pleas
ures? You sit there smoking a vile weed, but have you thought OF
the gowns you have burned up within a year? l venture to say no.
Let's talk it over, John, just you and l, and as the old year dies plan
for better and more noble things in the year to come.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-12-30

With all the many vices with which you indulge yourself, it seems
that you might overlook the one small pleasure which have. Yes, /
admit there are more ehvating books than presentday novels. But
am | to give up my only pleasure, the one small thing from which l
get my wee mite of enjoyment? Do you, John, think it fair to ask
of me this sacrifice that you might have the slippers you certainly do
not need? Your vices are SO great beside my small one. If you really
mean all that you say about planning for the future, why not give up
your club? 1t is but another of the many needless expenses which
you incur year after year.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-12-30
Said Mr.. A 10 Mrs. A on Dec. JI:-

That's right, and Pm glad you mentioned it. I had not thought
OF it before. That will be money saved. Now l propose a bargain,
and it's fair. My resignation from the club will go in tonight il you
will ion m G in the good work and mail o-night your withdrawal from
the bridge club or class or whatever you may call it. A good deed
is always better when it's doubled, and that will be two good deeds
accomplished, two savings made, instead Of one. What say you, my
dear; will you join me in turning over this new leaf with the opening
of a new year? The question is entirely needless, for know, Of
course, that you will.
The Miller press. [volume] (Miller, S.D.) 190?-current, 1909-12-30
Said M. a 10 Mrs.. a on Dec. ST.

Your sentiments, my dear, are noble ones, and meet with my
approval. We will plan tonight for the year that is to come. Yes,
not the year alone, but years. We will study and solve the problems
that mean a better and truer life for you and me. There ar many
little things we might improve upon. So many better ways in which
to spend the small sums we now but throw away. The price of that
novel you re reading would have purchased the slippers l so badly
need. Now let's begin by my giving up cigars, which l agree are
but vile weeds, and you your novels, which are but the cheapest kind
of trash and twaddle.

Mr.. A TO Mrs. A on Dec. 5I.-

Now, wife, don't cry. l am a brute and l admit it. Let's start
anew and talk this over. Let's see if we have snned against ourselves
or others. Let's see if our so-caled vices are not mere pleasures to
which we are entitled. think they are. l see nothing we need repent
Of; nothing to swear off. I'll keep my cigars and you your novels.
I'll keep my club and you your bridge game. Well let gowns and
slippers go hang if need be, and enjoy ourselves. Now, that is better.
isn't it, my dear? That meets with your approval ! am sure. and we
win greet the coming year with joy and not with tears and lamenta-
tons.

During the next year and the years to follow we will live our lives
as we have lived them. We will enjoy to TIE t4l our-Se~aset eessr~
