MANY DEAD FOUND
MORE THAN f5o BoDIEs FOUND IN HEAPS IN REMOTE PARTS
 OF CHERRY MINE.
MADE A LONG FIGHT FOR LIFE
Wrote Messages on stones--"Here to DIe Toeether"-Retreated as Far as PossIble-Twenty Men Not Account ed for at Present.

Cherry, IL, Nov. 25.--Death won. The bodies of more than 150 men who had perished miserably in a remote gallery of the St. Paul mine were found Wednesday,.
 No one coming to their rescue and the life-giving air becoming exhausted, they had scribbled on 6 smooth sur face:
 We are all here to die together"
 And there together they died. Some composed themselves as If to sleep. their heads on their arms. Others re- clined against the wall where they dropped to rest. rest that knew no ending.
 It is believed that there are 16S bodies in the gallery penetrated. That leaves 20 men to be accounted for, 20 men who may be alive. but probably are dead.
 The bodies were found 800 feet from the main shaft, on an elevated surface where the men had retreated before the advancing water and fatal black damp. They had not been able to es- cape the latter and had died after a struggle that may have continued for days
 To take out the bodies skiff has been brought from the Illinois river. seven miles away. and will be lowered 560 feet to the vein in which the bodies were found. It will be rowed across the four feet depth of water in the vein to the spot where the bodies lie. and they will be transported to the main shaft for removal to the surface
 No evidence that the men had at tempted to barricads themselves from the black damp was seen Many of the ex-workers in the mine protested angrily after they discovered that the men would have been safe from the deadly gas had not the ventilating fan of the mine been reversed shortly at ter the discovery of fire.

ONLY 4 START MADE
GOV. HADLEY GIVES HIS VIEWS REGARDING THE REGENT OIL
 TRUST DIVISION.
THE VICTORY ONLY HALF WON
Missouri Executive Believes oil Mag mates Should Be Prosecuted for Their Violations Of Criminal Sec tIons of sherman Antitrust Law.

Jefferson City, Nov. 25.--Gov. Had ley gave this statement to the press concerning his views on the decision of the United States circuit court in the Standard Oil company case:
 T am. of course, gratified by the de- cision in this case. It sustains fully tho decision of the supreme court of Missouri and my contentious in the Missouri litigation While think there can be To question but that this decision means the dissolution Of the Standard oil trust. the governments victory is only half won. The men In charge of these interests must not be permitted to avoid the effect of this decision by any legal subterfuges or devices such as have been resorted to in similar cases in the past.
 Further, the government should, in my opinion, follow up this decision by criminal prosecutions against the offi cers of the Standard oil trust. The court has held that the evidence show ed 6 clear violation of the criminal section of the Sherman antitrust law If this violation consisted merely in the plan of organization of the Stand ard oil trust the civil proceedings would doubtless be sufficient, but in view of the fact that the evidence dis closed a record of commercial brigand- age and oppression unequaled in the history of trade, the justification for criminal prosecution to my mind is apparent.
 "The testimony in the Missouri liti- gation, all of which was used by the national government in support of its case. showed that the Standard oil trust from 1903 to 1906 decreased the price of the crude petroleum to the oil producers of Kansas and Oklahoma from $125 to 40 cents a barrel. And yet, in this same period, the price of the refined product remained practical ly stationary in Missouri. Many other examples are also to be found in the evidence where the Standard oil trust. while forcing oil producers to receive a less price for the crude petroleum, increased the price of the refined prod uct to the consumers. Where there was competition they charged low price. and where there was no compett ton they charged higher one.
 "A monopoly that has not only had the power to exact, but has exacted such an unlawful tribute. should not be permitted to escape with a judgment which simply prevents repetition of such an injustice"

IN THE "sUN-KIsSED" WEST
More or Less Authentic Tale That Duly Impressed the Man from
 the East.

Twas talking with Dakotan the other day, said an eastern man. Speaking of farms" he said, i've have some sizable farms out in Dakota Yes. sir. I've seen man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and blow straight furrow till fall Then Ae turned around and harvested back"
 Wonderful" said I.
 "On our Dakota farms." he went on its the usual thing to send young married couples out to milk the COWS Their children bring back the milk"
 Wonderful" I repeated.
 Once" he said, q saw a Dakota farmers family prostrated with grief The women were weeping, the dogs were barking. the children were squalIing. and the tears ran down the farmers cheeks as he hitched up his 2e-mule team and drove of"
 Where was he going?" said I.
 "He was going halfway across the farm to feed the pigs"
 Did he ever get bsck?" asked
 Tt isn't time for him yet" was the reply.-The Housekeeper

ties Were Not What Might Be Called Arduous

The son of a rich father quit col. lege few weeks ago--he was in love he explained. and couldn't keep his mind on his books. He wanted to go to work end make a place for himself in the world. So his father got him on the payroll of bank in which he was a director The young mans sweetheart--in her second year at vassar-kept writing him how proud she was over his independence and asking just what position he held SO she could tell the other girls The young man sidestepped the question as to his prominence in the banks organization, until. finally, his intend. ed wrote him a peppery letter. saying that if he didn't give her the informa- ion by return mail she would be real angry. Then. after much thinking, the youth wrote her this:
 I've wanted all along to tell you about my position and would have done so before had l known myself About all do here Is to raise a win dow when come in the morning and put 1t down when leave in the after noon. The rest of the time I read or watch the others work don't know just what you could call my lob. Bet. ter tell the girls that I'm the draught clerk.

COLLEGE MEN KISS EACH OTHER.
Joy and Sympathy Among the Students
 at Leyden University.

It is interesting to be at Leydeb when examinations are going on. Groups of friends gather together in the small court entrance to await tho result, and when a student comes down the stairs with happy face his friends give Joyous shouts, fling their arms about him. frankly kiss both sides of his face. and with arms eu locked they march of to celebrate at some cafe the great good fortune of their friend.
 If the poor fellow comes stumbling down the stairs, half blinded by his tears. the friends gather 1bout him with expressions of sympathy; em- oraciRg him and kissing his wet cheeks. while some wipe hls face with their handkerchiefs and even weep with him.
 In a few moments this sympathy gives him courage. and then his friends pat him on the back. thump his shoulders. tell each other that any man would fail in such difficult ex. Animation, and at length walk him off probably to cafe--with Il look in his face as if there might yet be a chance for him in this hard world
 It is pleasant sight to watch this entirely sympathetic action, in which there is no shadow of self-conscious. ness. Even while 1t looks odd to us Americans to see college men kiss and embrace each other. there is such sffectionate sincerity and frankness of sympathy. 1t impresses us.

HAD IT IN DUE LEGAL FORM

 Jack promptly closed with the offer. and the banker as promptly borrowed the five dollars. at current interest, thereby keeping. as he observed when telling the story. both the boy and the money in the family.
 Some two months later Jack wanted to recall the loan.
 What five dollars do you mean?" asked the banker.
 Why, the five I gave you"
 T haven't any five dollars" But I gave 1t to you. Mother, didn't l give him five dollars? You saw me-"
 T certainly did" she replied.
 Where's your receipt, then?' de. manded his father "Do you mean to say you've been lending money with. out getting black and white to show for it?"
 "Mammie." said the boy, appealing to his nurse. didn't I give papa five dollars?"
 You poh' little lamb!" indignantly exclaimed the old woman. "Cose you done gib it to him. honey"
