Va.--But 63 bodies had been recovered from mines Nos. 6 and 8 of the Fairmont Coal company when darkness closed over the little town of Monongah Sunday night. Fifty-six hours had elapsed since the awful explosion and a majority of the bodies brought to the surface were In a terrible condition, necessitating almost immediate burial. It to now believed that the number of dead w!U not be over 400. A thorough investigation was made by the company Sunday and it was dis­ covered that many miners believed to have been entombed escaped because they h&ti not gone to wwk Friday after Thursday's holiday. Shortly after three o'clock Sunday afternoon fire broke out again in mine No. 8 and the rescuers were at once ordered to the surface. Thousands of sight-seers from the surrounding towns had gathered about the openings. Through megaphones the crowds were notified of the fire and the danger of another explosion, but they refused to leave and it was with great difficulty that the special police, assisted by many miners, forced these people to seek places of safety. Efforts were then directed toward extinguishing the fire and It is thought It will be subdued soon, when the work of rescue will again be taken up. It was said by members of the rescuing party that over 100 bodies have been located in both mines and that they will be brought to the sur­ face as soon as the fire has been ex­ tinguished. It Is not believed the fire will reach any of these bodies. Clarence Hall, of Washington, a government mine expert, arrived at Monongah Sunday. With Chief Mine Inspector J. W. Paul, of West Virginia, Mr. Hall spent the entire day at the mines. He will remain here until he can make a thorough investigation of the disaster, when he will return to Washington and report to the govern­ ment. All saloons In Monongah have been closed since the explosion and , the 6,000 miners employed in other mi ties in the vicinity have suspended work and tendered their assistance to the rescuing parties. Shortly after mid night fire broke out in the main entry of No. 6 mine and delayed rescue work several hours. It was due to starting a fan and did little damage. Free access was gained to all sections of both mines by six o'clock Saturday evening. The property loss is estl mated at $50,000. With unabated energy, five rescuing parties, working from every possible point to enter and explore mines Nos. 6 and 8 of the Fairmont Coal com pany a subsidiary of the Consolidation Coal company of Baltimore, Saturday put forth every effort to reach the 315 men whom they have every reason to believe are still in the mine, dead or alive, although there is scarcely a hope entertained that a single one of the 400 or more is alive. CHICAGO GETS CONVENTION. t Republican National Committee Sets Date for June 16. Washington. -- Following a hot verbal battle, Chicago was Satur­ day awarded the Republican national convention. The scene of the choice of candidates for presidency will be the Coliseum and the date has been set for June 16, 1908. Kansas City and Denver also wanted the session. After the vote was announced, Chi cago was declared the choice of the committee by acclamation. The orig­ inal vote was: Chicago, 32; Kansas City, 17; Denver, 4. The hall was cleared' of visitors after an interval of 20 minutes. There was loud cheering by the delegates as the selection of Chicago for the next national Republican convention was announced. The result showed 32 votes in favor of Chicago. June 16 was then selected as the day on which the convention will assemble. William F. Stone, sergeant-at-arms, announced the appointment of Dave O. Owen of Milwaukee, Wis., as chief assistant sergeant-at-arms and Lee G. Hechinger of East Orange, N. J., chief confidential clerk. Both Mr. "Owen and Mr. Hechinger were associated with Mr. 8tone during the convention of 1904. * MOB TERRORIZES A TOWN MO^INSVILLB, KY., "8HUT © BY 500 NIGHT-RIDERS. UP" Former Cleveland Mayor Dies.

Damage Placed at $200,000--Posse Fails to Capture Band--Hardly a Building Escapes. » H&jfklufiViilc, Ky. -- ™7g ht^ndrod "night riders" masked and heavily armed marched into Hopkins ville Saturday morning and destroyed property valued at over $200,000, while the citizens, in terror of their lives, feared to even so much as open their windows, and the police, fire depart­ ment, telephone and telegraphic of­ fices and even the railroad stations were in possession of a wild mob, shooting right and left. The flames from burning buildings in the mean­ while lighted up the city and the sur­ rounding country until it seemed that the whole town was ablaze. Windows in the front of business houses and banks on the main street of the city were shot out and the entire front of one newspaper office which has been especially severo in Its condemna­ tions of the raids of the night riders, and which was owned by the mayor of the city, was demolished. Fortunately only two men were in­ jured, one of them being Lindsay Mitchell, a tobacco buyer, who was severely beaten with switches and clubs and the other a brakeman, who was shot in the back while trying to move his train from the path of the flames. As soon as the sight riders got out of town, a posse of about 15, headed by Maj. Bassett of the local militia and Deputy Sheriff Cravens, jumped into buggies and followed the trail. They went as rapidly as possible and when out on the Cadiz road a short distance where the pike crossed the Illinois Central railroad tracks they came in sight of the "rear guard" of the night riders who were making haste to escape, all being well mount­ ed. >It is supposed they left their horses at this point and marched down the Illinois Central tracks into the town. As soon as the posse could get near enough they opened fire on the fleeing mob and the pursued re­ turned the shots. It is not believed any of the night riders were hit as none of them were seen to fall. The members of the posse escaped in­ jury. They were soon outdistanced by the mounted men and after chasing the marauders across the Trigg county line past Gracey. the officers returned home. It was Impossible in the dim light for the officers to see the faces of any of the men whom they were chasing. Later Saturday, more news was re- wived from all parts of the town in­ dicating the spread of the raid of the riders. There was hardly a house in the business section of the city which did not suffer. The office of the county judge in the courthouse had 197 bullet OH" shotholes in it, while the police headquarters was fairly riddled. Hopkinsville, Ky.--State Fire Mar­ shal Mptt Ayres is here to investigate the burning of the three tobacco houses " by "night riders" early Satur­ day morning. Important clews are said to have been discovered,that may lead to the arrest of members of the mob. Company D, Third Kentucky regiment, is guarding the city. KANSA8 CITY BANK CLOSES. Second Financial Institution In That City Is in Distress. Kansas City, Mo.--The National Bank of Commerce, the second finan­ cial institution in importance in Kan­ sas City, announced its suspension Thursday morning, after a steady run of six weeks, during which the bank had paid off $10,000,000 of its deposits, reduced its loans $3,500,000, cut down its cash resources $11,750,000 and sold $2,000,000 of high-grade bonds in an effort to meet demands upon it. The comptroller of the currency ap­ pointed James T. Bradley, national bank examiner, as temporary receiver of the bank, and he at once took charge. He has issued no statement as to the bank's condition, nor have the officers of the bank. The directors of the bank made a statement to the public saying that the bank could not stand "slanderous statements made against it," and saying they do not believe it possible for a depositor to lose a dollar. Kansas City, Mo. -- Dr. W. S. Woods, the president of the National Bank of Commerce, that closed its doors Wednesday owing to its de­ positors close to $17,000,000, asserts that the bank may resume business within a short time.

ORIGIN OF CORN. Plant Was First Grown Under Trop­ ical or Sub-Trepical Conditions. As to the origin of the corn plant, there is a general agreement among authorities that it developed among tropical or sub-tropical conditions. As to the hemisphere in which it orig­ inated, there has been considerable discussion, but the consensus of opinion among the botanists of to-day is that it originated in America. The eminent French botanist, De Candolle, after considering the evidence rela­ tive to its origin, says: "From all these facts we conclude that maize is not a native of the old world. It be­ came rapidly diffused in it after the discovery of America, and this very rapidity completes the proof that, had it existed anywhere in Asia or Af­ rica, it would have played an im­ portant part in agriculture for thou­ sands of years." He then goes on to show the greater antiquity of corn in America. He says that when Ameri­ ca was discovered it was a staple crop from the La Plata to the United States; had names in every native language, and was found in the tombs of the Mound Builders of North America, the tombs of the Incas and in catacombs of Peru. He further mentions its connection with the re­ ligious ceremonies of the ancient Mexicans and Peruvians and argues from this a very great antiquity in those regions for It to have become so supremely important. The fact that there was a number of varieties of corn in America when the Europeans came also points to a long period of cultivation previous to that time. De Candolle inclines to the belief that New Granada was the original home of the corn plant. Since the discovery of America corn has been carried to practically all parts of the world where the condi­ tions are at all favorable to its growth, and we may expect that, dur­ ing the present century, it will be taken to many more.--G. A. Crosth- wait. GROUND PHOSPHATE ROCK. It Has a High Value When Mixed in with Barnyard Manures. We are more than ever convinced of the great value to every farmer of using ground phosphate rock in his stables and in his manure heaps. The natural phosphate has been worked out of a large proportion of our soils. Farmers notice a growing uncertainty in their grain crop. They lay it to the seasons, but the real difficulty is that the soil has lost some of its original elements. The soli is like the' animal body in its demand for food. The three things, nitrogen, phosphorus and potash, that the body requires in food, the land requires. All this summer long, just as in pre­ vious summers, every farmer has been piling up manure from his horses and some from his cattle in the barnyard and it has been rained upon and the hot sun has shone on it and a very large part of its value has gone into the air. How easy it would have been to have provided one's self with phos­ phate rock and sprinkled the manure heaps each week with a sufficient amount to absorb and hold the am­ monia, which is nitrogen. Then, whdn the farmer hauls out that manure in the fall to the meadow- land that he is to plant with corn next spring, he not only has saved a great waste of nitrogen but he has added the very phosphorus the soil needs. As farmers, says a writer in Hoard's Dairyman, we must begin to organize our knowledge and thought more in the line of getting back to the original fertility of our land. Sea­ sons have their effect, but they do not play as great a part as we think. Somehow it will be noticed that good, rich, well drained land gives a fair crop in almost any kind of a season. The first thought of a good farmer should be the keeping up of the fertility of his land. It is almost a crime to handle manure so as to waste the most valuable part of it. It 8houM Not Be Put in Cflb with the Other Com. There is a variety of expressions about the moldy corn, says a writer in the Bloomi&gton (III.) Pantograph. Most farmers think there is not so much as last year. One mas who said he thought he did not have so much moldy corn, was surprised when the first load came ifi to find quite a large amount of it, and s&ld that none of it should go into the crib; that he thought if the weather got damp and warm it would help to spoil other corn in the crib. Another farmer who usually looks pretty closely to his corn, said that he got two ears from the field about a month ago, before the corn was very hard; one of them was of the type he selected for seed and the other one was partly affected with the dry mold, so prevalent last year. Without think­ ing of what might happen, he tied the two ears together and hung them on the north side of a building, where they had remained. On taking them down recently, the seed ear was found to be moldy on the side next to the other ear, for a space of five or six rows wide. Not a few farmers are of the opin­ ion that the mold lives in the soil or in the rubbish of the field, especially if the moldy ears are thrown down when found or are left in the field, and thus is carried over from year to year. Perhaps the mold is not so apparent this season as usual beoause of a lack of just the kind of weather to propa­ gate it. One of the best corn experts in the state, H. A. Winter, of Wenona, said laBt year he believed that this dry rot may have been the cause of so much poor seed corn. It frequently happens that an otherwise good looking ear has a trace of mold around the tips of the grains just next the cob, perhaps only on one side or one end, and so is over­ looked, when the seed selection Is made. It seems as if It would be a good time to Stamp out the mold when there iB a small amount of it, by de­ stroying every ear that can be found. From what is known of this disease it certainly would be a safe and prac­ tical thing to take special pains to pre­ vent any of the moldy ears from re­ maining in the field or the corn crib to contaminate sound corn. Instead of dropping a moldy ear to the ground or letting it remain in the husk on the stalk, when discovered, every such ear should be snapped and thrown into a box attached to the side of the wagon. When unloading at the crib, every ear at all affected with the mold should be separated from the other corn, throwing it into a box or barrel provided for the purpose. There it. very little feeding value, even for pigs and chickens in corn so dam­ aged, and it would better be destroyed by burning. A DITCHING SCRAPER. There should be a ditching scraper on every farm. They can be pur­ chased made of steel, but a home­ made one such as shown in sketch costs little and is quite serviceable, says the Farm and Home. Take two plankB each ten inches wide and three feet long of good two-inch hardwood. Bolt to them securely a pair of old plow handles. To the bot­ tom bolt an old cross-cut Baw blade which will make a sharp edge. Let these project about an inch at the bottom. Attach two singletree hooks near each end of the lower board and your scraper is ready to use. With this scraper and two men I cut a ditch one-fourth mile long and as deep as it could be plowed with a turning plow in two days' time. It is also very use­ ful in filling holes in the highway. Manure Handled Right. We saw a barn the other day which had never been stained up from the accumulation of manure along the sides. In fact, no manure was ever thrown out. Every day it was thrown into » spreader, and when It was full the manure went onto the meadows. HINTS FOR THE FARMER. In the fall preparations must be made for many of the spring crops, either plowing the land or manuring it. Keep the land as rich as possible. -Angleworms work more in rich land than in poor land, and they constantly improve the soil. In yielding their harvests the fields have been feeding you. Now in return you should feed the fields by spread­ ing the manure. Jot down a few of the unusual or interesting points about the season's work and the harvests.

Sonne weeks ago the wife of Judge Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook, and since she had no oiher resource she rolled up her sleeves and for a week provided such meals as the judge had not enjoyed since those happy days when the Blanks did not keep a cook. The judge's delight was so great that by way of appreciative acknowl­ edgment he presented Mrs. Blank with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite naturally, the Incident was a good deal noised about among the social acquaintances of the Blanks and a spirit of envious emulation was de­ veloped in certain quarters. It was in this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited the story to her husband. ."What do I get, Jerry?" she asked, "if I will do the cooking for a week?" "Well," said Mr. Jerome, "at the end of a week, my dear, you'll get one of those long crepe veils."--San Francisco Argonaut. ECZEMA COVERED BABV. Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw--Suf­ fered Untold Misery--Perfect Cure by Cuticura Remedies. "My son, who is now twenty-two yeears of age, when four months old began to have eczema on his ' face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. The eczema was some­ thing terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I used many kinds of patent medicines, to no avail. A friend teased me to try Cuticura. At last I decided to try Cuticura when my boy was three years and four months old, having had eczema all that time and suffering untold 'misery. I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H« Oct. 24, 1905." How He Did It. Early in the morning session, when the pufrils were feeling bright and happy, the teacher thought it a good plan to give them sentences to cor­ rect, both as to grammar and sense. She accordingly wrote on the black- board: "The hen has four legs. He done it." Thoughtful little Ignatius, at the foot of the class, pondered deeply, and at the end of 15 minutes' time, allowed for correction, he wrote: "He didn't done it; <Jod done it." Preacher's Comforting Remarks. At an evening prayer meeting in a Maine village llie senior deacon, Dominicus Jordan, arose to make ap­ propriate scriptural remarks about the death of the late Miss Simpkins. In conclusion the deacon said: "I re­ spected Miss Simpkins, the members of this church respected Miss Simp­ kins, the citizens of this town re­ spected Mies Simpkins, but now she's dead and gone to the Lord, and the scripture saith, 'The Lord is no re­ specter of persons."--Exchange.

In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces­ sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear­ ing quality of the goods. This trou­ ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great­ er strength than other makes. SICK HEAMgSii CAKFEiCS ITTLE 1VER PILLS.

The arrangements by which our fruit passes from the producer to the consumer are notoriously defective. The middleman and the dealers have the entire control of tha situation. When apples or othw fruits are shipped to be sold on commission the shipper has to shut his eyes and exer­ cise a blind faith in the honesty of tho man that is doing the selling for him. This has led to the development of fruit selling associations, none -of which has been able to work out tho problem very thoroughly.

"I was a heavy meat eatfer," writes an His. man, "and up to two years ago, was in very poor health. I suf­ fered with indigestion so that I only weighed 95 pounds. "Then I heard about Grape-Nuts and decided to try it My wife laughed at me at first but when I gained to 125 pounds and felt so fine, she thought she would eat Grape-Nuts too. "Now she Is fat and well and has gained 40 pounds. We never have in­ digestion any more and seldom feel the desire for meat A neighbor.of ours, 68 years old, was troubled with Indigestion for yearB; was a heavy* meat eater, and now since he has been eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says he is well and never has indigestion. I could name a lot of persons who have really been cured of indigestion by changing from a heavy meat diet to Grape Nuta." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
