NEBRASKA AVIATOR WEDS
UIrich Sorensen, Who Dropped $500 Feet in AeropIane, Promises Bride
 to Renounce Ambition.

Broken Bow, Neb.-The ranks of in- ventors devoted to the conquest of the air lost one daring member Thursday when UIrich Sorensen, of Berwyn, ten miles east of here, was married to the daughter of a wealthy farmer of that vicinity. Sorensen won fame on June 15 last by going up $500 feet in bal loon and coming down in an aeroplane of his own construction.
 Instead of gliding gently to the earth, the aeroplane descended in a series of somersaults and was de- molished although the aviator was not seriously hurt.
 Sorensen has since that time been at work trying to perfect his invention but he now declares that at the re- quest of his bride he has renounced his ambition and wlI devote his energies to less spectacular pursuits.

to have preyed on the mind of the former, and some of his friends de- clare that Dr. Cook has gone to Italy for absolute rest and quiet.
 To eounteraet this story, however. a statement purporting to come from w. L. Cook, a brother of the explor- CT, has been published, which is as follows:
 "Dr. Cook is in the vicinity of New York trying to get a much needed rest. If he decides to go to Europe there will be no secrecy concerning his departure. I think his friends and critics should be charitable now and allow him to rest until his health is fully restored. He has not been reading the newspapers the past few days ard is not responsible for the statements accredited to him, and is sued by those acting as his spokes- men. l am sending his data to Co penhagen.

Cook had reached the goal Tn the iee-bound north, has issued a state ment in which he denounces Dr. Cook as an impostor
 The gist of MT. Wellmans finding, after what he terms careful andy. sis of he situation, is that with his meager party and equipment, Dr. Cook could not possibly have accom- plished the feat for uhich he claims credit, that his astronomical data are too minutely precise to have been made under claimed conditions in the field, and that the explorers dash for the lecture platform, and his oc ceptance of crowns of flowers plac. ed upon his head by innocent women and children" before submitting lis field recorls for scientific examina- tion, adds to his discredit

ORGANIZATION IS THE RAGE
Unorganized Farmer Must Battle Alone Against Body of Indi-
 vduaIs Strongly Aligned.

This is an age of organization, and farmers fully appreciate the truth of this oft-repeated statement every time an effort is made to have their influ- ence felt in any direction Let the farmer attempt to right any wrong arising from the lack of legislation or through the operation of unjust laws and he immediately finds himself face to face with an organized force. He must battle, single handed, with a body of individuals thoroughly organ ized, says Michigan Farmer. The result, disastrous as it is to the farm CT, is only what might reasonably be expected under the circumstances, and the outcome is much the same where a weak organization meets a stronger
 Can more potent argument for a strong farmers organization be ad- vanced than that contained in the above facts? And, granting that there is general agreement as to the need of organization, where is there an organization built upon more per manent, enduring basis, that has been luOTG lHOIOuSIly lIlSu Oul, lHdH tue Grange? It has become a lasting so- cial and educational force in every progressive farm community which it has entered. Its plan, that of having an organization in township, county, state and nation, makes possible it's reaching and helping the farmer in every sphere, and anything short of this would not make for a strong, in fluential body.
 Another point in favor of the Grange is that it was the first organization that gave to woman the same privi- leges and rights as are enjoyed by man. In doing this it has not only turned on the radiant light of hope for her, but it has strengthened the union of both, has created deeper love for home, and given inspiration for better thoughts, nobler deeds, and higher aims for the future.
 There is nothing equal to the Grange in giving opportunity to the boys and girls of the farm. Here their latent ability is awakened and hope engendered until we see them devel- oped into fuller and more complete men and women. In so doing they take greater pride in their work, more interest in the farm and home, and their attachments for it are increased many times.

 The funeral of the unfortunate vic tim was the largest ever held ill he community, and excitement at Alicia is at high pitch as a result of the killing.

BELIEVED NOW 189 STILL IN THE DEATH TUNNELS ALL HAVE
 PERISHED.
GAS Is MENACE ID RESGUERS
Fire Eating Way Toward Pockets of Gas May Cause Explosion Which Would Kill the
 Rescuers.

Cherry Ill.-After innumerable de- lays inconsequential bickerings and disagreements, state mining inspect DTS and company officials announced there was little hope that any of 1S9 miners still entombed in the St. Paul mine here were alive. The men have been in the death mine ten days now, and it is the opinion of all that they have perished.
 While many of the imprisoned miners may have been alive last week when twenty of their number were rescued, it is now believed they have succumbed to starvation, thirst or poisonous gases.
 It was hoped that many Of the en- tombed miners had taken refuge in the third vein of the mine following the disastrous fire. Members of the rescue party descended into the lower tun- nels early in the day, but found nc signs of life. Only one part of the lower vein is situated so that men could live there, it is declared. This is the overcast, and it was believed that if any of the miners were to be found alive they would be at this place.
 No Life in Third Vein.
 The rescuers waded through feet of water to the overcast, but there was not a sign of life. They also shouted several times in order that the entombed miners, if they were alive would Iypow that rescuo uyac at hand They received no answer to their shouts. Great portions of the tunnels had collapsed. It is believed many men were buried under the de- bris, and if the obstruction is not soon cleared away at least 100 bodies may never be dug up.
 There remains only the east end of the second vein. In this part of the mine it is believed the bodies of the missing miners will be found. It is said the air in the level is such that none of the entombed men could have sustained life.
 w. W. Taylor, general superinten- dent of the St. Paul mine, who has been hopeful all along that other lives might be saved, declared that he now was confident all of the entombed miners were dead.
 All the time stubborn fire is eat ing its way through coal deposits directly toward a large pocket of highly explosive gases, which may be ignited at any moment. Despite the fight being made against the blaze by firemen, fear of terrible explosion, which would kill every one in the mine and wreck the shaft, has become a terrible menace.
