Fifty Nine Rescued After Gas Ex-
plosion at Eccies, w. Va.
LITTLE HOPE TO SAVE REST
Desperate Fight Against Flames Mag
Be Useless-Many Miners
Completely Shut off From
Surface

Eccles, w. Va, April 29.-Four
miners are known to be dead, So
were rescued, many Of them severely
burned, and 203 others are entomb-
ed in two burning mines, believed to
have but small chance for their
lives, as the result of an explosion
of gas in mines No. 8 and No. 8 Of
the New River Galleries company
here. The dead and rescued men
we're taken from mine No. 6, and
It is said all but 10 of the miners
who entered this shaft have been
accounted for.
One hundred and ninety of the
entombed men are in shaft No. 8, not
a man having escaped from this
working since the explosion. The
mine is burning fiercely, with gov
eminent, state and volunteer res
cuers working desperately to subdue
the flames.
No. 5 mine apparently Is COM
pletely shut off from the surface
and rescuers hold little hope OF
reaching the large number of i'm
prisoned men in time.
The explosion occurred in mine
No. & where two shafts were demol-
ished. 1t is believed the explosion
travelled through this mine into No.
I6. One shaft of the latter mine was
wrecked, but the other remains In
tact and was the salvation of at
least So of the workmen.
For a time the steadily growing
crowd of frightened women and
children waited in suspense, but
soon the signal came to hoist away
and the cage appeared. 1t bore two
men badly hurt, few Of the rescue
party, and two bodies. Other trips
were made and each time blackened
and burned miners were brought tc
the surface until SO men had beer
brought up, four of whom were dead
The injured we're assisted to nearby
houses, where physicians waited Il
care for them.

BEATRICE
The Low Priced Standard
Separator

In constructing the Beatrice we
attached nearly as much Importance
to SIMPLICITY as to durability and
efficiency. Complicated machinery
is always getting out of fix. The
BEATRICE is the simplest separator
made.
You will never need many re-
pairs for the BEATRICE and the
parts you might need in years to
come will cost you so per cent less
than the same parts in other sep
arators would cost you. The follow
ing will give you some idea of this
difference in repair prices:

of the pressure under grain and meat
priees.
Such reforms as this, if carried
on in other States, would help the
whole country. The United States
is not raising and fattening enough
cattle. When steers "off the grass"
cattle that have not yet been
grain-fed-bring 10 cents pound on
the hoof in Chicago, as they did this
week, it is time to brace up the cat
tie business.
The farmers of the East need to
heed the Arkansas lesson. Special
lied farming has it's good points, but
it sends the farmer too often to the
store, and unless his profits are un-
usually large he finds himself at the
end of the year with no money saved.
But the man who has a diversified
farm and works on it never goes
hungry, and sometimes he puts
money away.

trudging up and down apartment stairs,
pickering with housewives who have
gotten up on the wrong side of the

of the idle rich of the National Capital,

huckster in the morning music to my
ears, as II Is the signal for me to get

self, meanwhile leaving the babies TO

say they would rest more soundiy in

THE CANALS TRAFFIC.

From San Francisco comes posi-
tively startling story of the effect
the Panama canal has wrought upon
the volume of that ports ocean-go-
ing trade. 1t is declared that since
September / the sea-borne traffic of
the port has multiplied by ten, and
that the canal is directly responsible
for the advance. Moreover, the
business is only in its infancy.
Before the canal opened, three
steamship lines handled business
from San Francisco for the western
termini of the Panama and Tehuan-
tepec railroads, there to be trans
shipped for eastern markets. Now
there are eight shipping lines in
this business, and they are not able
to keep up with their orders. The
number of vessels will have to be in
creased fast.
1t is early to analyze the effects
of this huge increase of trade on the
railroads. But it may safely be as.
sumed that no such immense proper.
tionate increase could take place in
such short time without divertine
much of the tonnage from the rail
roads; for the very simple reason
, that the community could not orig
