Terrible Loss of Life the Result of
an Explosion In a Mine
Near Fernie, B. C.
EFFORTS OF RESCUERS UNAVAILING.
Heartrending Scenes at the Mine and In
the Village of Fernie - Hardly a Home
in the Place Hut Has Sustained Loss
Searchers at Work to Recover Bodies
of the Dead.
Vancouver, 1’.. C\, May 2:3.—A special
from Fernie, 13. C., says:
“A terrible explosion occurred at
7:30 last evening in X". 2 shaft of
the Crow's Xest Fuss Coal Co.'s mine,
near Fernie. The explosion extended
to Xo. 3 shaft. About two nundred
men were working in the mine at the
time of the explosion. Only 33 jitci
known to have escaped. Nine dead
bodies have been taken out up to
noon to-day. Of the I‘30 men en
tombed it is feared the great majori
ty are dead. Xo. 2 and Xo. 3 hhe.fts
are situated on Coal creek, six miles
from Fernie. They have always been
considered dangerous, being dutsy
and gaseous. It is said the first ex
plosion occurred in Xo. 2 mine,where,
it is alleged, a miner lighted a
match. The explosion was repeated
in Xo. 3 mine, the two shafts being
connected.
The scenes at the mines and in the
village of Fernie are heartrending.
Hardly a house has escaped affliction.
The work of rescue is: being hur
ried, and perfect order prevails, as
sistance coming from every availa
ble source. The presence of coal
damp is adding to the danger of res
cue work. People are hoping against
hope, but it is unlikely lhat any of
the miners now entombed in the
shafts will be seen again alive. A
new fear lias become general—that
the mines may catch fire at any time
and survivors are being besought by
their relatives not to venture into
the shafts, even for rescue work.
FERME MINE NOT ON FIRE.

Seattle. Wash., May 24.—A special
to the Times from Vancouver, 13. C.,
says: “Latest advices are that the
mine at Fernie is found not to he on
fire, and that the ventilation is be
ing restored as quickly as possible.
All the bodies will soon be recovered.
‘The exact number working in tlie
mine was 323 and 24 made, their es

THE TROLLEY CAR RAN WILD.
Two Persons Killed and Several In
jured In the Wreck of a Run
away Trolley Car.
Easton, Pa.,May 24.—Two men were
killed and many women and men in
jured in a trolley wreck a few miles
beyond Easton at midnight Thursday
night. The dead are:
Edward Commodore, Nazareth.
Joseph Derhammer, Easton.
An Easton & Nazareth car left this
city shortly before midnight, carry
ing 89 passengers. On a steep hill in
Palmer township the brakes refused
to work and the ear ran away, de
scending the incline at a terrific rate
of speed. At the foot of the hill there
is a sharp curve. Here the car
jumped the track and, tearing loose
from the trucks, fell on its side in the
country road. The greatest excite
ment prevailed. Many women fainted,
while others became hysterical
through fright. There was a wild
scramble to get out of the car. While
the passengers were being dragged
from the car windows, an effort was
being made to release Commodore
from beneath the trucks, but before
he could be gotten out, life was ex
tinct. The body of Derhammer was
found several yards from the wrecked
car. The skull was fractured and the
body terribly bruised.

SUFFERED 25 YEARS
With Catarrh of the Stomach—
Pe-ru-na Cured.
| Congressman Botkin, of Winfield, Kan. |
In a recent letter to Dr. Hartman
Congressman Botkin says:
“My Dear Doctor—It gives me pleas
ure to certify to the excellent curative
qualities of your medicines—Peruna
and Manalin. I have been afflicted
more or less for a quarter of a century
with catarrh of the stomach and con
stipation. A residence in Washington
has increased these troubles. A few
bottles of your medicine have given me
almost complete relief, and I am sure
that a continuation of them will effect
a permanent cure.”—J. D. Botkin.
Mr. L. F. Verdery, a prominent real
estate agent, of Augusta, Ga., writes:
•7 have been a great sufferer from
catarrhal dyspepsia. I tried many phy
sicians, visited a good many springs,
but I believe Peruna has done more
for me than all of the above put
together. I feel like a new person. ”—
L. F. Verdery.
The most common form of summer
catarrh is catarrh of the stomach. This
is generally known as dyspepsia.
Peruna cures these cases like magic.
If you do not derive prompt and satis
factory results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case, and he will
be pleased to give you his valuable ad
vice gratis.

DOMESTIC ABILITY.
The Girl from Finland Had a Unique
Specialty in the Line of
Houae work.
An aristocratic East Superior street wom
an, who has had the usual number of fail
ures in the way of domestics, having tried
nearly every nationality, heard the other
day that a number pi girls had come here
from Finland to seek employment as serv
ants and that they were highly recommend
ed as strong, intelligent, capable and gen
erally excellent help, relates the Duluth
News-Tribune.
With high hope the housekeeper hied her
to the office where these paragons were on
exhibition, and was soon brought face to
face with a brawny specimen, who could
not speak a word of English. With the aid
of an interpreter the following conversation
took place:
"Can you cook?’’
"Oh, no.”
“Can you wash and iron?”
“No.”
“Can you sweep and dust or clean house?”
"I have never done anything like that.”
“For goodness sake,” exclaimed the as
tonished matron to the interpreter, “ask
her what she can do.”
With calmness and complacency the reply
came back: “I can miik reindeers!”

The Ilnrlter lint! Shaved Him Before,

Healed Face.
A Ninth street barber owns up that the
following experience was his own less than
a month ago. An actor from a neighboring
theater dropped in one afternoon to be
shaved, and seemed disinclined to talk. The
barber, says the Philadelphia Times, is a be
liever in the theory of his tribe that conver
sation makes the process of shaving easier
for the shavee—that the time seems to pass
more quickly if the customer can be inter
ested in this or that topic for the few neces
sary minutes. He tried the actor on the
weather, the beef trust, the asphalt scandal
and the new filtration plant without suc
cess. Then, just to keep things going, he
asked:
“You have never been shaved in here be
fore, have you, sir?”
“Oh, yes,” replied the actor. "I was in
here once when we played across the street
about 18 months ago—in the beginning of
last season, it was.”
“Stiange that I don’t remember your
face” commented the barber.
“Well, you see.” came from his victim,
“my face has healed up since then.”
Papa Was Pleased.
“And what did papa say?”
“He said it was all right.”
“Didn’t he seem very reluctant?”
“I can’t say that he did. When I told

he muttered something that sounded very
much like “Thank heaven, at last!”—Cleve

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a ques
tion of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system,
the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is
also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsani
tary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy
which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by
the California Fig Syrup Co.
With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient char"
acter and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to
the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a con
stipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and
pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of
any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required
remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with
the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty
cents per bottle.
The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the
combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and
uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family
from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and
share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of
known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently
and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every ob
jectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the
genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every
package.
