Diamond 10 Line Gives Up Ser

DUBUQUE SENT TO DOCK.
Had Been Plying Between st. Louis
and Observation-Disclosures Tries
to Clear Away Sandbar.

The Diamond 10 steamboat line
after having made a heroic attempt
for the last month to keep its steam
ers in service in spite of the low
stage of water, has finally been COM
PEELED towithdraw its last boat and
to give up all hope for getting back
into the trade any more this year.
The Dubuque, which was plying be-
tween st. Louis and Keokuk, was
locked Saturday and orders issued to
the effect that it was to stay so for
the remainder of the year or until
there is enough water in the river
to allow it with the rest of the fleet
to go into winter quarters in the Du-
buque, Iowa, harbor. The through
service from St. Louis to St Paul
had to be discontinued early in the
season, but the Dubuque ran north
as far as Rock Island until several
weeks ago, when this had to be
stopped. The Diamond 10 line has
ordered it's agents in the various
cities along the route to close up
their offices for the year.

siderable trouble in the vicinity of
Andalusia where a sandbar projects
out into the channel. The Columbia
is to locate this and then anchor
with the wheel over the bar. The
paddles will then be started and II is
hoped that the rushing of water
from behind the anchored boat will
loosen the sands and allow the cur
rent to carry the bar away.

DESPERATE ATTEMPTS MADE
 BY INSPECTORS TO REACH 200
 MINERS ENTOMBED IN EXPL LOSION

Birmingham, Ala, May 6.-At the imminent risk of their lives a party of experts, headed by State Mining Inspector James Hillhouse, and J. J. Rutledge. expert from the government Geological Station at Knoxville, ex- plored a portion of the demolished Palos mine today and brought a num- Der of bodies to the surface. Although working with oxygen helmets they re- ported the gas suffocating. Two of the experts were overcome and had to be dragged to safety.
 Inside the mine the experts say the scenes are indescribable. Dismem- bered bodies blackened by fire and with clothing burned away, are scat tered throughout the workings. So terrible was the force of the exDlo- sion that all tunnel fixtures, timbers, temporary rails, cars, etc., were blown to pieces. Masses of fallen rock block the chambers and under them can be discerned the bodies of victims. The explorers said that there seemed no hope that anyone could remain alive in the mine. Inspector Hillhouse be- lieves it will be days before the up- per workings can be explored.
 It was rumored today that the mine was declared unsafe a week ago by inspectors.
 Desperate attempts were made to get down to the 2,S00 foot level in
 mine Mo- of the Palos Coal & Coke Go, 25 miles from here where 200 miners were entombed by yesterdays explosion. Of the entombed men, flf- ty are white and 150 negroes.
 Mine Superintendent Milton Dren- nen who. was in the engine room across river from the mine at the time of the explosion, declared today that the explosion must have been caused by miner going into a gaseous pock- ct with a lighted lamp.
 The explosion, according to officials was fierce one. The flames shot up into the air 300 feet above the mouth of the pit. There was no second ex- plosion, as is usual in such cases.
 A relief train of the Tennessee Coal & Iron Company, hearing State Mine Inspector James Hillhouse, Assistant Mine Inspector Neal; J. J. Rutledge, government expert in Chicago of the Geological station at Knoxville, Tenn, physicians, undertakers and helpers were rushed to the scene of the ex- plosion from this city. Neal made an attempt at once to enter the mine and got down several hundred feet where he found several bodies, but made no effort to bring them out. Other min CTS without oxygen helmets, entered the mine and found a dozen bodies but could not rescue them. Many were overcome by the gas and had to be ------, --A II~----oi-r~.-- z

THIS IS HUSBANDS INJUNCTION TO WIFE WHO SECURES
 DIVORCE.

seWe have been married now for fen years, yet we have less resources than on the day we were united. While you have had nothing, your brothers and sisters have had every thing they longed for. Our lives nave been so full of ups and downs and disappointments that we have lost
 that prior affection for one another. This is my advice to you-you are 1how in the prime of life-I know you could find someone who would think
 more of you than I could, one who would make you happier than I ever have. It is best that you get a di- vorce from me and. marry someone who will provide you with a home. I know, you know that I have given a great many notes and owe much money, all of which worries me con- siderably, but I intend to save every cent and to pay off the last dollar"
