TOWN IS SCENE
OF DESOLATION

CHERRY. ILL.,. Nov. 15.-AH Sunday
and today great crowds Of miners
widows and children stood about the
mouth of the air shaft waiting for news
of their imprisoned fathers, brothers.
and husbands.
The village is a place Of complete des-
olation, and all during the night the
women walled out their grief or became
hysterical in their agony. The crowds
at the shaft mouth muttered their in
dignation over the tragedy, and at
times threatened to become disorderly.
The terrible loss to the village Is
typifed IN a single street OF thirty three
homes, where thirty-One were stricken.
A common bereavement has made all
the women sisters in the village. and
hundreds followed on loot the twelve
filters bearing white shrouded corpses
as they were carried through the
streets TO the various cottages. These
were the bodies Of the twelve men who
shortly after the fire descended into the
mine in an effort TO rescue their COM
rades, and were roasted to death.
Several women became temporarily de-
ranged and one. Mrs. John Buddon,
under the earth, had to be restrained
from doing violence to herself
Meanwhile the officials are trying to
get accurate estimates on the number
OF men stu entombed. II developed
that the figures that 4s5 men descended
into the mine Saturday morning were
700 small and that nearly 4S5 were at
work when the explosion occurred. and
between 800 and 400 still are unaccounted
for.

II HE attempt seriously TO represent
that a Representative broke him
self down in health by dint of
over working, may give shock to
the cynics and the humorists; but that
is the claim which is put forward in be-
half OF Jesse Overstreet, late Represen-
tative from the Indianapolis district.
Mr.. Overstreet was chairman Of the
House Postofhce Committee, one of the
most Woodworking committees of the
body and he was widely regarded as
the greatest legislative specialist in
postal affairs in Congress In a genera
ton. He tried TO know everything about
the service. and came near succeeding.
Last years tidal wave in Indiana
swept him into the discard, and he was
slowed away with a fine, comfortable
position on the Monetary Commission.
The function of the Monetary Commits
sioners is TO draw $500 per annum per
capita and TO sign the report which Mr.
Aldrich Of Rhode Island will write when
he gets around to it,
The sudden transition from his siren
uous legislative career 10 this era OF
rest brought 10 Mr.. Overstreet realiza-
ton that he was all worn out. He re-
tired to his country place then went TO
the AdirOndacks: but his health has
gone from bad TO worse, and his friends
latterly have been seriously concerned
for him. one Of the most stalwart mem
bers of the House. tall, straight, young,
and athletic, he always looked the pic
