some little friction. among the men in
charge OF the rescuers. but everything
vas going smoothly tonight.
While only about IS bodies have been
brought out up TO this hour. the men
are still working with vigor. They are
now having trouble with the terrible
doors arising from decomposing mule
Mesh number of the animals were
worked In the mine and all were killed

now been In the mine unattended for over

very badly decomposed.

today
Just what are the plans of the govern

conduct proceedings so as to break up
any business radiating from there.

Keen the Balance Up.

II has been truthfully said that any dis
turbance OF the even. balance of health
causes serious trouble. Nobody can be
too careful to keep this balance up. When
people begin to lose appetite, or to get
tired easily, the least imprudence brings
on sickness, weakness, or debility. The
system needs tonic, Graves H. ana
should not be denied il: and the best
tonic of which we have any knowledge
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. What this medi-
cine has done in keeping healthy people
healthy, in keeping up the even balance
of health, gives IL the same distinction
as a preventive that il enjoys as a cure
Its early use has illustrated the wisdom
Of the old saying that a stitch In time
saves nine. Take Hoods for appetite,
strength, and endurance.
