Then came old Nawab Eikander Be

It was followed by puff of smoke 7)elching forth from the mouth O. the shaft
 The alarm spread quickly and for time wild confusion reigned.
 Volunteers were called for to en, ter ,he shaft and dozens steepad for ward. A party was selected and had been lowered but a short dis tance into the shaft when Hhe sicken- ng smoke warned them that fierce fire was in progress beloW.a They persisted, but were forced 70 return to the surface because of the deadly fumes Within half hour after the explosion dense clouds of black smoke, tinged at times with blue shofs of flames were pouring from the mouth of the mine.

HOMESTEAD BILL
 PASSES HOUSE Reduces Term to Prove Ownership From Five to
 Three Years.
CLARKE FAVORED IT
Speaker Made Enthusiastic Speech and Declared New Bill Will Provide
 Home For Many Americans.

Washington, March 20-In a force ful speech in .he House today, Speaker Clark urged the liberaliZa- tion of the homestead laws so that 'he requirement of a farm and a home m ght be made as easy as possible to a bona fide settler.
 "It is mos, painful, to me- ex- claimed the Speaker, "to see some of our best people, including whole families leaving this country and going to Alberta and Manitoba, Can ada, to take up the.r residence"
 He spoke for the bill reducing from five 10 three years the resi- dence term to prove up a claim and secure title to homestead lands. His plea aroused great enthusiasm in the House among the Democrats and Republicans and the bill passed.
 q am in favor of fixing it so that no American shall depart from The United States to find a home in a foreign land,' declared the speak CT amid shouts of approval. "A man in my district sold his farm for $26,- OoO and his stock for about $14,G)0 mere, went to Alber.a and took uH ten thousands acres of land. 1000 of eight sons and 1000 he kept for himself. l saw a trainload made up with the possessions of about forty families of Missouri and c,sarted for Canada. It has been estimated Chat every American citizen who goes in- to Canada seeking homestead there, carries with him $1,000.
 "The great Oregon country,' anG the speaker, Twas populaed largely by Missourians. They are pro- life race and like the march toward the improvement of their condi- ton. Why they should leave Mis- souri, I cannot conceive,' continued the speaker with a whimsical smile
 "I have received over hundred letters from these farmer Missouri ians now settled in the frontier, ask ing that I approve this bill and give it my support and I am making these remarks at their reques..
