TWO KNOWN DEAD.
Twenty Others Supposed to Have Been
Killed in a Mine. ,
Pittsburg. Pa.. Jan. 26. Two men are
dead and 20 others supposed to be dead
as the result of three gas explosions in
the Boswell mine of the United Coal
company, Somerset county, last night,
and early today. The men were mem
bers of an investigating party that had
entered the mine to make an inspec
tion 9l suspicious gas traces before al
lowing the miners to go to work.
The Dead.
SUPT. G. B. LOGAN.
' ANDREW STONEKI.
Among the supposed dead are:
Assistant Superintendent George Mor
ris, John Cole, William Hay, and 1
' other men. '
Until early today signals were heard
rom the imprisoned men. At daylight,
however, the signals ceased and it is
fcelieved that all the men had come un
der the influence of the deadly after
damp. About 4:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, a small explosion occurred in the
Bnine and as a result of this and other
conditions that needed attention it was
decided to make a thorough investiga
tion of the underground workings and
entries. This was in charge of Super
intendent Logan and 21 men volunteer
ed for the dangerous work. They en
tered the mine shortly after the ex
plosion and while they were in the mine,
a. second and third explosion occurred.
These, explosions had the effect of tear
ing down great quantities of coal, slate
and rock in the interior, completely
.preventing the men from reaching the
outside.
State Mine Inspector Lowther of Som
erset, was soon at the scene and from
the miners who had not been allowed
to go to work until the investigating
party returned, rescuing shifts were
quickly formed. '
RECKLESS CHAUFFEURS.
Those Who Cause Chicago Wrecks to
Be Placed in Rogues' Gallery.
Chicago. Jan. 26. Captain O'Brien
of the city detective bureau, has devis
ed a new scheme for curing automobil-
!sts of the scorching habit. He proposes
to establish a rogues' gallery for reck
less chauffeurs. The inspiration for
the invention was born of the manner
In which Miss Emma Winkalman was
killed Sunday night.
"Reckless driving in Chicago is going
, to stop," says the captain. "Beginning
today, I intend to start a gallery of
these fellows who persistently violate the
law. I shall keep a list of their names.

Would End Fearful Suffering.
CASE SEEMED HOPELESS
BUT CUTICURA CURED HER
"Words cannot describe tho terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. I was almost
a solid mass of sores from head to foot.
I looked more like a piece of raw beef
than a human being. The pain and
agony I endured seemed more than I
Could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails, ana nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crusted and
swollen I was afraid they -would break
off. Every hair in my head fell out.
I could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the pain.
My family doctor did all he could, but
I got worse and worse. Mr condition
was awful. I did not think I could live,
and wanted death to come and end my
frightful sufferings.
" In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem-
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
cura, Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
Short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew I
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
Bhort time I was completely cured.
I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I
wish I could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. My condition
was so terrible that what cured me
cannot fail to cure anybody of this
awful disease. If any one doubts the
truth of this letter, tell them to write

KNOCK ON OUR WHEAT
Germany's Complaint Appears to Be
in a Measure Justified.
Chicago, Jan. 26. The Tribune" today
prints the following news article under a
iJerlin date:
"German grain handlers are rejoicing
over the success of the complaints lodged
at Washington against the inferior quality
of American hard winter No. 2 wheat. The
department of agriculture has just noti
fied the, Hamburg board of trade as fol
lows: " 'Reports of experts are now in course
of preparation and the conclusions drawn
by them are that complaints from Euro
pean purchasers of American grain in
large measure are justified.'
"It appears the department sent three
experts to Europe as a result of German
complaints which were chiefly to the ef
fect that red winter wheat was fraud
ulently mixed with hard No". 2. The Ger
man trade naturally is gratified that its
position officially is vindicated at Wash
ington, although it is regarded as ominous
that the experts' report will be placed be
fore the special congrenonal committee.
Steps will be taken on this side to see that
the report does not die a natural death in
committee but results in practical reform
of government inspection, such as is in
vogue in Canada. Only remedial action
will satisfy German trade."

Dr. Leavitt Says He Has Cured In
testinal Tuberculosis.
Chicago, Jan. 26. Dr. Sheldon
Leavitt is now in active charge of Rev.
Johnston Myers' mind-healing class.
In his initial lecture the doctor cited
casesiof organic diseases he has cure
in his practice through the use of
psycho-therapeutics. '
Dr. Leavitt mantained that there is
no more limit to the practice of
psycho-therapeutics than there is to
the practice of medicine. He declared
that he had cured cases of locomotor
ataxia, intestinal tuberculosis and
typhoid fever by the method of healing
he advocated.
"We have not made the claim that
we can cure a great many cases of
cancer, Bright's disease, valvular heart
disease or consumption," said Dr.
Leavitt. "Neither can the medical
practitioners do so. We do not say
there' is nothing in medicine and but
little an surgery. We believe in medi
cine and surgery and would add mind
healing."

Switch Track Ordinances Will lie Con
sidered, Hereafter in Chicago.
Chicago. Jan. 26. The city 'council, by a
vote of 62 to 1, has passed a resolution
establishing a standing committee on local
industries, to consider all switch track
ordinances.
This action was the result of the report
of a special industrial commission ap
pointed by Mayor Busse last year. It does
away with three regular council commit
tees and extends the term of switch track
ordinances from ten to twenty years,
making them revocable at the will of the
council and the mayor.
The Chicago Association of Commerce
and other business interests have been
fighting hard for this action. It. is con
sidered by these business men a subject
of vital importance to the growth of the
city's industries. -

track ordinances through narrow personal
reasons will be abolished by this city wide
committee, according to its promoters.

THE "BUCKET SHOPS."
A Correspondent Claims Their Neces
sity to Prosperity.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
- tna cupping taken from one of our
lAcaj papers is an article urging legis
lation against bucket shops.
i In the first place, what is a bucket
shop? At first thought It would seem
to Be a place where buckets are
bought and sold. Mr. Merrill defines
a place where business is done
without a visible base. I think it
would be more proper to call it a wind
shop.
It would be easier for Mr. Merrill to
deal with that kind of a shop, because
the actual article itself is invisible, but
t a grain oroKer and exchange office
s meant, then there is no need for
legislation; because there is no such
shop in Kansas. There is not a
broker's office now in the state that
will not deliver the article or com
modity bought on the day of delivery;
if you doubt this buy some wheat and
see if it will not be delivered to you.
The advantage of grain option and
the benefits derived can not be ques
tioned. I once heard Phil Armour
say: "If he bought 10.000 bushels of
grain that morning, he would sell same
amount betore the session closed to
protect his purchase."
Is there one man in this sunny and
prosperous Kansas who says the farm
ers would get just as much for their
wheat, corn and oats if the elevator
men could not sell the future to pro
tect their present holding?
I endorse and highly appreciate Mr.
Coburn, the state statistician, in his
untiring endeavor to bring Kansas to
the front as an agricultural state.

RAISE SALARIES, !
Members of the Chicago Board "Vote
Increase in Pay. !
Chicago, Jan. 26. Ten members of
the board of county commissioners have
voted an increase of $900 a year ach
in salary to themselves and their rel
low commissioners. Four members, bit
terly opposed the proposition, but were
Dowerless.
The action was taken after the hoard
had spent a week in vainly trying to
stretch the income of Cook county t
meet the regular expenditures, and at
ter hours had been spent by the minori
ty in arguing against what was called
in the debate, "such an ill-advised a:
ruinous policy."
Whether the action of the board will
withstand a legal test, if President
Busse fails to veto the item. whHh
eems probable, was declared in the de-
.ate to be questionable. The point was
nade that salary increases can not

CHALK BEESON HERE.
Veteran legislator Has Some Ideas on
Good Roads Legislation.
Chalk Beeson of Dodge City, former
representative from Ford county, is In
Topeka. He has been at Excelsior
Springs and stopped off in Topeka to
attend the Shrine meeting. Mr. Bee
son is especially interested in the good
roads movement and especially in Gov
ernor Stubbs' agitation of the question.
The governor," said he. "has proved
himself thoroughly familiar with this
question in his testimony before the
interstate commerce commission and I
hope some definite action win be
taken by this legislature. Nothing will
do the people in general so much good
as the improvement of our good roads.
"However, I think the keynote to the
whole question of good roads has not
been struck by anyone. The great
problem of good roads is not in making
them. It is in maintaining them after
they are once built. The township or
county can easily afford to fix the
worst road in good shape once, but it Is
the expense of keeping it in shape that
counts.
'I notice that the Morris countv rep
resentative says that it cost a township
in his county $1,000 a year to keep up
its roads. This is not as it should be.
Almost any man, and especially a
farmer, can put the worst road Into
fairly good shape, but the keeping it
up is the question that confronts us all.
"The main thing is to keep the mid
dle of the road rounded up smooth, so
that water will not stand on it at all.
Then you will always have a good, hard.
smooth road. There is only one way
to do this in my opinion, and that is
to have all or as many as possible to
use the wide tired wagon, say two and
three-quarter tires, and do not make
this compulsory by passing a law, to
that effect, but puc a premium on the
wide tire. The law now exempts the
wide tire from taxation, but this is not
enough of ah inducement. The tax on
an average wagon would proDably not
be more than 15 or 25 cents per year.
I think that any township or county
wovild save money by allowing each
owner of a two and three-quarter tire
or over, $2.50 per year off his taxes, and
in five years, the township or county
would be ahead of the game. I use
three inch tires on my farm, and I
can keep a road, after it is once fixed.
In fairly good shape, if there should
be two or three narrow tired wagons
hauling on the same roads at the same
time with equal loads.
. "Governor Stubbs is as much, if not
more, Interested in good road legisla
tion, than any other one man in the
state. He Is an expert on building
roads. Ask him why they always use
wide tires when making fills for high
grades. He will tell you that is for
the reason that the wide tire will pack
and keep smooth, the fill as fast as it
is made, while if they would use nar
row tires, the wheel scraper would tear
down the grade almost as fast as it
could be bunt, so i think the main
question of good roads hinges on the
maintaining of them after they are once
made.
"This can be done for a mere pit
tance by using the wide tired wagon,
and is the solution to the whole good
road proposition, in my opinion."
