SIX MEN DIEIN MONTANA MINE Several Others Injured and Two Are Missing. EXPLOSION THE CAUSE Believed the Powder Magazine Con- taining Considerable Dynamite Blew Up, Resulting in the Death of the Men—All Workers Below the 300- Foot Level Escape Without Injury. Helena, Mont., Jan. 20.—As a result ot an explosion in the Keating mine at Radersburg, forty miles from here, six miners are dead, two are badly in- Jured and there is an unconfirmed ru- mor that two more men are some- where in the workings. The dead are Ed Ryan, shift boss; Dan Ryan, his brother; Dan Whyte, Percy Way, Louis Tucker and Harry Abbott. Pending an investigation officials of the Keating Gold Mning company said that only the men named had been killed and two others injured; that no one below the 300-foot level was hurt and that all of the bodies had been recovered. It is thought that the powder maga- zine in the mine exploded. This maga- zine, which was said to have con- tained between 500 and 800 pounds of dynamite, was on the 200-foot level. Duluth men are interested in the company. BILL FIXES HEAD OF FAMILY Woman Member Startles Legislators in Colorado. Denver, Jan. 20.—All the members of the lower house of the legislature sat up and took notice when the read- ing clerk, after clearing his throat with unusual care, read in impressive tones “an act to define the meaning of the term, ‘head of the family.’” “Huh!” ejaculated several baldhead- ed representatives at once as they looked over in the direction of Mrs. Louise M. Kerwin, representative from Denver. Mrs. Kerwin appeared to be busy tidylng her desk, but presently she looked up, smiled and acknowledged the authorship of the bill. “It is just a measure to declare that a widow who supports a family is head of the house and entitled to $200 exemption on personal property taxa- tion,” she explained.

MOSCOW CATHEDRAL. e Erected by Fantastic Looking E lvan the Te 3 One of the most extraordinary and fantastic Christian places of worship in the world is the Cathedral of Mos- cow, known as Vasili Blajenni, strange not only in outline and conception, but even stranger in its history. No one knows the architect’s name, but the story goes that the czar ordered his eyes to be put out directly the church was completed, so that he should nev- er be able to surpass his work. The idea of the building -was inspired by the wickedest and maddest monarch who ever sat on a throne—Ivan the Terrlble, czar of Muscovy. The architecture is in every respect extravagant and barbaric, and the col- oring is garish in the extreme. It has nine chapels, roofed by nine cupolas, each different and each stranger than the other. One resembles a pineapple, another a melon, a third is said to ape a hedgehog in its appearance, and the rest are more or less grotesque. Some are gilt; others are painted in brilllant hues. Indeed, the. only description is that it is a nightmare of a church, the fitting legacy of a ruler who grilled his counselors in frylng pans and clothed his subjects in bearskins in order that trained dogs might worry and tear them to pieces.—Strand Maga- zine. A King’s Hobby. The late king of Siam had an extraor- dinary hobby—that of collecting empty matchboxes of all nations. In this connection an interesting story is re- lated. During one of his visits to Eng- land the king while passing down Bond street one afternoon, accompanied by two members of his suit, espled an empty matchbox which had been dis- carded by its owner and thrown away into the middle of the thoroughfare. ‘Without a moment’s thought the mon- arch dashed into the middle of the crowded traffic, grasped the much cov- eted treasure and was nearly run over by a passing cab. The fact, however, that he was able to add a new speci- men to his collection gathered under such circumstances more than com- pensated him for the risk which he had run.—London News. - Everythin Ready-fo- In the Garment Clearance There is not a eingle cheap artic'e. “How Cheap it is” has never been a test of the desirability of any garment that enters here.
