A HYMN OF PRAISE FROM HUN

Drown the Men.

Joplin, Mo-, Nov. S,-Several hun

stood with barred heads tonight
around the mouth OF the shaft of the
Needmore Mine at Oronogo, twelve
miles from Joplin, and clasping
hands sang fervently Come, Thou
Fount OF Every Blessing Many
were in tears, but they were those OF
rejoicing because six men had just
been saved when their chance TO live
was, at zero. Besides the miners,
women and children, two preachers
were present and led the singing Of
the hymn. The six men were buried
underground all afternoon.
At 9 o'clock this afternoon the
large hopper of the NeedmOre mill,
a new building, crushed the concrete
pillars on which it stood and fell on
top of the shaft, carrying wood, ma
chnery and rocks with it. The six
men caught in the ground were Tom
Guthrie, ground boss; Raymond
James, Perl Althouse, Bob Ellis, AL
phus Gearheart and Aleck House,
widely known miners of the Central
district.
A Warning of the Danger.
The first warning of the catastro-
phe came when c. Frank Althouse,
the hoisterman, a brother of Perl,
saw that the hopper would fall. He
Jumped on the runway just before

 gently. has been able within the last
 few weeks to inaugurate half d dozen
 reforms and to report to the church upon them. This commission is com posed of eight ministers and seven laymen. and was created to make d continuing executive body for the business side of the Presbyterian church. When one general assembly adjourns it tx without day. and the life of the commissioners composing it is ended. The commission remains alive throughout the year.
 Besides the provision of a perma- nent executive body. the commission exists to secure more public recogni- ton of the Presbyterian church as an effective religious body To this end the commission has exalted the of flee of moderator of the general as- sembly and aims to make the name and work known in the same way that the name of bishop is known and re- spected It is stated that the Pres byterian church in the United States lS eNCeeulnSlN utlllOCTdIlC III us ldtdS- but it is also stated. and upon au- thority of those in the position tO know. that the day is not distant when even Presbyterian democratic ideals will tolerate moderator and or cabinet. all of them all of them possessed of ad- powers. and giving all of their time to the advance of the Gospel under Presbyterian auspices.
