Smoke and Flames Drove Reseuers
From Death Shaft at Cherry III.
Now Certain All Entombed Men Are
pead-1ooo Orphans and 200 Wild
ows to Mourn.
The three hundred or more miners
who were entombed in the St. PAU
coal mine at Cherry ILL.,. by last sat
urday's fire and explosion, are dead
and It is now believed the disaster
was entirely due to their reckless DIS
regard of the mining laws and the
mines rules. Some of the bodies lie
hurled beneath thousands of tons OF
earth which caved in upon them. It IS
doubtful whether many OF the bodies
can ever be recovered.
The inquest is expected to show evil
dence of disregard of orders by the
miners. The state officers are taking a
deem interest in the inquest but their
guarded statements make it apparent
that they do not expect decision that
will blame any particular person for
the fire.
Fans employed in an effort to carry
oxygen and life down to the impris'
oned men served only to enliven some
embers which sprang into flames Soon
the heat and smoke became so dense
that It was necessary again to seal the
mouth of the hoisting shaft. and the
men down there, in whatever their
condition. are locked in as effectively
as In dungeon.
Attempts to take out the bodies de-
pends on the condition of the internal
fre. It is possible that carbonic acid
gas will be forced to the bottom OF
the mine to choke off the flames.
If is now believed that no one viii
he brought out of the mine alive.
The catastrophe one of the worst
IN the history of the coal industry In
! America come with the suddenness
/ and fury of a hurricane blast, and its
fearful work was a quickly done.
shortly after the explosion occurred
twelve bodies were taken out. SIX OF
these we're heroes not employed in the
mine. who gave their lives in a futile
effort to save the imprisoned mine
workers.
When these devoted men had given
I'D their lives It was realized that
there was no more hope Of rescue, and
though there waited many who were
ready to make the hopeless attempt
to save their imprisoned comrades
they were restrained and, four hours
after the explosion occurred, the en-
trance of the mine was sealed In the
hone of checking the flames.
AS a result Of the disaster there are

That some e.. our customs appear
as absurd TO people Of heather nations
as theirs seem to us is illustrated by
this anecdote
a custom in connection with Chi
uese funerals as the placing of edibles
ON the grave as soon as the mound has
been formed. This ceremony had Just
been completed one day in a San
Francisco cemetery when a motor car
containing several women drove up.
One of the women noticing the food
on the grave asked one Of the mourn
'ers:
when does the dead man come up
and eat these things?"
The young Chinaman thought a mo-
ment and then said; You sometimes
soften some nice fend, and him die,
you puttem some niece pletty fiowah
on top side of glaye, sabe?'
Yes. | would strew the grave with
many beautiful flowers" the woman
replied

SALTAIR ROUTE
Officers of Railroad Ask Councils
Permission to Double Track
Their Line.

A complete change in the routing of
the trains to Saltair is proposed in new
franchise submitted to the city council
last night by officers of the Salt Lake &
Los Angeles Railroad company 1t was
referred to the committees on municipal
laws, streets and city attorney. In the
afternoon the franchise of the Saltair
company for an electric system TO Saltair
was approved on county ground, and the
city is now asked to grant new fran
chise.
The proposed route of the Saltair trains
will be from a point at Fifth West and
South Temple streets, north TO North
Temple, east to Main street, south to
South Temple, west to First West, north
to North Temple, west to Tenth West,
south to South Temple and thence west
to the city limits. The present tracks of
the company run straight west from Fifth
West and South Temple streets. A COM
plete double track is proposed after the
two tracks meet at Tenth West and South
Temple streets.
The plans of the company would make
three tracks necessary on North Temple
street from Third West to Ninth West,
as the Utah Light & Railway company
now maintains a double track for this dis
lance. Some cOuncilmen said that the
Saltair company would have to make traf-
fic agreements with the street car conf
pany as the city could not allow three
tracks on any one street.

NERVOUS
DYSPEPSIA
A Topeka Woman Tells How
the Tonic Treatment with DR..
Williams Pink Pills
Cured Her.

The processes of digestion are con
trOlled by the blood and nerves. Thai
is why the tonic treatment, by which
the blood is built up, has cured so many
cases of stubborn stomach trouble.
Many people are suffering daily from
stomach trouble because they cling tC
old-fashioned methods, eat predigested
foods and IN other ways aggravate the
disorder they seek to cure.
There can be no real cure in stomach
trouble until the digestive organs are
toned up 10 do the work that nature in
tended Of them. The only way that
this can be done is through the blood
which plays such an important part in
the processes of digestion.
DR.. Willie MS Pink Pills are not only
a tonic for tie stomach but build up the
general hea.th. This is well shown in
the case of Mrs. Emma Copeland, of No.
227 North Lake street, Topeka, Kans.
She says:
"After treating with a doctor for
several mon his and getting only tempo
rary relief srom nervous dyspepsia. |

When l began using the pills l was
