COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAW.
Board of Trustees Take Up Cases o
Several DeIinquents.

Tho board Of trustees Of the Pi-
oche school district has taken steps
to enforce the compulsory school law.
Only a few parents with children. of
school age have failed to start them
to school; but the board proposes to
see that the parents charged with
these cases of neglect are brought to
task.
The following letter has been adj
dressed to them:
"tJrder the compulsory school law
enacted this year, each parent OF
children between the ages of eight
and sixteen years are required to
send such children to the public
school during the time school is in
session, unless satisfactory evidence
Is presented to the board of school
trustees that they are excusable I'M
der the law.
''Your child has not been enrolled
as a member of this years school
and therefore absent three days. Thre
DAYS absence of child makes thai
child a truant under the new law. Ths
failure on part of parent to send
a child to school without valid ex
cuse is deemed a misdemeanor un
der the law.

DEEP IN COAL NINE
FOUR HUNDRED PERISH, VICTIMS
OF sUFFocATIoN.
AWFUL DISASTER AT CHERRY. ILL
Fire Starts Deep In Shaft Of Coal Mine
and Hundreds Are Cut of
From Freedom.

Spring Valley, H., Special: The
most appalling mine disaster in the
history Of the United States occurred
Saturday afternoon in the little town
OF Cherry, seven miles north of this
place.
An explosion of coal gas in the up
per works OF the St. Paul Mine is be-
lieved TO have choked out the lives
of between 400 and 500 men who were
working there.
Some few survivors. blackened by
smoke and singed by flame. have
crawled from reeking crevices in the
earth TO tell an incoherent story of
the almost uncomfortable horrors in
the corridors below
The rest are still in the fame-swept
works, strangling slowly in the after
damp or making their last desperate
stand against fire and smoke in the
stub-ends OF the corridors, TO which
they fed in terror after the explosion.
When the searchers quit their siren
nous endeayors Sunday night the i'm
prisoned men I'm the shaft had been
cut of for a period Of nearly SO hours.
Hope departed from even the most
optimistic hearts with the passing of
daylight, and the village OF Cherry is
crushed and stunned in the grip of
the great tragedy.
A quiet, more ominous than the hys-
terra OF Saturday night. when women
cried, sang and yelled in the frenzy of
varying emotions, has settled upon the
town. Everywhere are widows and
orphans, with sorrow-set faces and
eyes dimmed by long weeping.
Chastity In its weirdness. vigil was
kept all night at the sealed mouth of
the shaft by a score Of women whose
husbands lay 500 feet below
The cause of the catastrophe is as
follows: The main air shafts both de-
scend TO the lower level and a wide
gallery runs from one 10 the other at
the 3S0-foot level. car containing
six bales OF hay was on this gallery en-
route to the stables. where the mine
mules are housed and Alexander Ros-
enjack, young American. who works
at the cage at the main shaft, got too
close to the hay and IL ignited from
his lamp.
Immediately the hay fiared up and
just as quickly almost every one in
the vicinity was panic stricken. The

dumping the load into the slump.
where there Is always water. but in
some manner he got so confused that
the first thing the others knew the
car was being backed toward the main
shaft.
Again II was started toward the air
shaft, but all this time at the top of
the air shaft had been pouring down
into the main shaft a terrific stream
OF fresh air. which famed the flames
into furnace heat.
This same stream of air. coming
down the shaft constantly, keeps the
planking of the shaft and at the en-
trance TO the gallery dry as a bone.
notwithstanding the fact that II is
regularly sprinkled along with all the
remainder OF the mine. in accordance
with the state law. BY the time the
hay had been burning for only few
minutes this planking caught fire and
then bedlam broke loose.

SPIRIT Of REVOLT
IN INDIA EVIDENCED BY DEADLY
BOMB
HURLED AT vlCEROY MIMIC
Hero'sm and Promptness of Attend
ants Ward off Internal Machines
Which Fail to Explode.

Armedabad, British India, Cable:
That the spirit OF revolt is spreading
in India was shown Sunday by an at
tack made by discontents on the lives
of Lord and Lady Mimic.
The Viceroy and his wife have been
here for a weeks stay at one OF the
viceregal castles and were riding
through the city.
While driving through a narrow
lane in the park two bombs were
thrown at their carriage by young
man in native dress, apparently stu
dent
A dragon, who was riding along
side OF the carriage, spurred forward
and struck the first bomb heroically
with the back of his saber, hurting II
some distance away into a sand heap.
The second bomb luckily struck an
umbrella which was held by the Vice
roys jemidar. native lieutenant.
over Lady Mintos head, and the quick
action Of the jemidar made IL rebound
to the ground
Neither bomb exploded, the soft
sand acting as buffer.
An examination Of the internal ma
chimes revealed the fact that they con-
tanned picric acid. and the carriage
would have been undoubtedly wrecked
and the occupants killed had they
been exploded anywhere near the We
hicle
The bomb throwers made their es
cape in the excitement. and though po-
lice and detectives are securing the
city and environs no arrests have yet
been made.
For a year or more there have been
many instances Of violence on the
part of the Indian Revolutionists, who
are bound TO end British rule in India.
This is the second attempt that has
been made on the life OF Lord Mimic.
Attempts have also been made 10 as
sassinate Lord Kitchener. Sir Andrew
Fraser. the Lieutenant Governor OF
Bengal. and many other officials.
II will be recalled that only a short
time ago a fanatic Indian student in
London killed General Sir Wylie dur
ing reception in the Indian Office.

NOTED FRENCH MURDER CASE
COMES TO AN END.
DRAMATIC SCENE IN COURT
Fair Widow Acquitted Of Double Muir
der Charge ard Frenchmen
Applaud.

Paris, Gable: Nine. Margherita
Steinheil has been acquitted by Jury
OF the murder Of her husband, Adolphe
Steinheil, a noted painter, and her
stepmother, Nine Japy.
To some degree sentiment and a
stuffy. crowded courtroom favored the
prisoner and the delay caused much
apprehension. With the first appear.
ance OF the jurymen. however, several
OF whom We're smiling an instructive
feeling OF acquittal flashed through
the courtroom.
A dramatic scene followed Tie
red-robed judges and counsel filed in
and took their places. Every eye was
riveted on the door through which the
prisoner should enter, but she did not
appear. NJ. de Wales, the presiding
Judge. turned to the jury and said:
Have you reached a verdict"
The foreman arose and replied:
"On our conscience we answer mo-
to every question"
A salvo of braves" followed this
announcement and a perfect bedlam
Nine. Steinheil, embraced his col
leagues.
Men and women in the rear OF the
hall jumped and screamed for JOY
The judge threatened to clear the
courtroom, and, when semblance of
order was restored. he called:
Bring in the accused"
Fully two minutes passed before the
black-robed figure with a white face
dropping on her breast appeared in
the doorway. supported on either side
by a gendarme.
The woman swayed and seemed to
be fainting. but in response to a wild
outburst Of cheers she lifted her head
and looked about, smiling family in
acknowledgment.
Then she tottered forward and sank
on the floor beside the rail
When the judge pronounced the YER
dict her faint murmur OF thanks was
hardly heard.
An instant later VI. Aubin was over
the rail. lifting her in his arms. The
crowds surged forward in a solid wall,
making the rafters ring with cheers.
Outside the gloomy court the first OF
thousands who had been waiting for
hours took up the cry.
Special editions of the papers
spread the news like wildfre through
the boulevards. where thousands more
were waiting in front of the cafes, and
the same scenes of rejoicing were wit
messed there.
The murder of the distinguished
painter. Adolphe Steinheil. and his
motherin-law on the night OF May 81
1908, caused a sensation in Paris.
They were found strangled in the ar
lists residence in the Rue de Vaug
irard, which adjoins the studio Of Sey-
mour Thomas, the American portrait
painter. Nine. Steinheil was found
gagged and bound 10 bed.
Nine. Steinheil. when she recovered
from the shock. gave de-
scriI tion of the alleged assassins.
who, according 10 her story, numbered
four. including a red-haired woman.
Later Nine Steinheil told many con
hicting stories. and was herself ar
rested and charged with the crime.
The motive was found in her hatred
for her stepmother and desire 10 rid
herself Of her husband that she might
marry Maurice Borderel, a wealthy
merchant, who had become infatuated
with her.
The hearings began Nov. !, and dra-
matte scenes have characterized them
throughout.
