RECOVERING MINERS BODIES
TWO HUNDRED HAVE SEEN Lo'
GATED IN THE MINE.
Conditions indicate That They Died q
euffocatlon and Had Been Dead
Many Days.

Cherry, ILL.,, Nov 20.-Science and
desperation have greatly checked the
fire that snuffed out 300 lives In the
st. Paul coal mine; men braved the
fireswept tunnels to bring to the sur
face the dead; charity has poured aid
into the homes of suffering survivors
but oil Of this. could not subdue the
grief of Cherry's inhabitants when the
sight Of the dead, lifted from the tomb,
exploded their hopes that the men
might be rescued alive.
It had been Just six days since the
IRE started In 4 bale Of hay and swept
the bread-winners of this community
to their doom, and in all that time Of
anxiety but ave bodies o. the entonlb-
ed have been recovered.
Seventy-fve bodies are gathered
within so feet of the main shaft and
the work Of bringing them up will pro-
coed rapidly
In all, about 200 bodies have been
located, and one crew will be employed
In searching while another carries the
dead to the shaft for raising.
Troops in close Gordon keep all
but flremen and officials in actual serv-
Ice out Of the enclosure around the pit
mouth.
The condition Of the bodies SO far
recovered shows that they died from
suffocation and that they had been
dead many days. Inspector Steele de-
cIared that his assertion that death
came to every man In the mine before
shutdown Saturday, the day Of the fire
was clearly demonstrated by the dis
closures.
The Are Is still raging In the west
end, but fire crew now has 1t under
control. States Attorney Eckert made
an attempt to descend the shaft, but
had to be removed in a half smothered
condition before he reached the level
of the drift.
The dead brought out have not been
identified, except In the case OF Erie
borg. One Of the bodies is that Of a
small boy. His face is SO badly burn
ed that Identification will be difficult,
except by means Of clothing. The
bodies are being placed in building
ON the mining company's premises.
within so feet OF the shaft. They will
remain there until after the inquest.
A carload of canvas sacks, which is
to be used to wrap up the bodies Of
the victims which are burned or
mangled beyond recognition, arrived
In Cherry. AS result Of the fast re-
moyal Of the bodies and the possibili-
ties Of the day. 80 grave diggers work
ed hurrledly completing the digging Of
the graves in the new cemetery behind
tAe Catholic church. Every miners
local union from the central and south

PROF. M'EWAN MAKES GOOD.

It is really a pleasure for the Mail to add it's endorsement and hearty approval to the class of entertainment given by the truly great McEWan at the Electric Theatre last evening. So many sO-called magicians of Albini's calibre are continually inflicting themselves on the public that when q really fIrst-class man like McEwen comes to town the people are justly skeptical. How ever, McEver played to a full house on his alright and last night the crowd was even larger. We predict standing room only tonight. There is nothing cheap nor vulgar about his entertain ment, and if you don't think you've got your moneys worth when the show IS over we will put in with you.

EXPLORER COOK
HAS DISAPPEARED
His Whereabouts Unknown Even
to His Backer

New York, Nov. 29.-Dr. Fred
erick A. Cook has dropped from pub
lie view. Not even John R. Brad
ley, whose money was behind his
polar explorations, knows where he
is. Confiding in only one man and
perhaps in his wife, the explorer
slipped quietly and mysteriously
away.
Charles Wake, an insurance man of
this city, appears to be the only one
who knows Cooks whereabouts, and
he is firm in his resolve to keep his
lips sealed until Cook himself sees
fit to take the the public into his con-
fidence.
In the meantime concern is ey-
pressed over Cooks health. Although
Some of his friends maintain that he
has borne up well under the continued
strain of lecturing and preparing his
data, an intimate associate saws
that the explorer appeared to be on
the verge of a nervous breakdown
when he talked with him a few DAYS
ago.
