The Earth Was Split by a Great Fis- sure Three Quarters of a Mile in Length. Vancover, British Columbia, April 29.—Overwhelmed by countless tons of rocks this morning shortly after 4 o’clock and with probably 112 of its inhabitants killed almost instantly, the little mining town of Frank, in Southwestern Alberta, is thisevening threatened with complete destruction by flood. Old Man’s river, which flows through the center of the town, is dammed up with the fallen rock to the height of nearly one hundred feet. The waters of the river are this even- ing dammed up for miles and the en- tire valley above the town is flooded. TOWN MAY BE SWEPT AWAY, A big body of water is pressing force upon the dam—the only|pro- tection the town of Frank now has— unless the river finds another chan- nel, Should the impromptu dam break the entire village would be swept away. A dispatch from Frank says: “A tremendously loud — reverberation shook the whole valley of the Old Man’s river this morning at 4:10 o'clock and scarcely half the inhabit antsof this town awakened to areal- ization of the impending danger, when from the top of Turtle moun tain, overlooking the settlement, there were hurled millions of tons of rock. EARTH SPLIT OPEN, When reports concerning the mag- nitude of the disaster and details con- eerning it commenced to come in from reliable men who had been out prospecting for news, it developed that the earth opened up for three- quarters of a mile and many feet in width, and that the whole northern face of Turtle mountain slipped from place. MILLIONS OF TONS OF ROCK FELL, The shock resultant upon the pre- cipitation of the millions of tons of rock into the valley, while only act: ually demolishing only comparative- ly few of the houses so shook the foundations of the majority of the dwellings in the town that they are unsafe to live in and many hundreds of people will have to live in the open or under such temporary shelter as may be procurable. ROCK "8 STILL FALLING, At dusk to-day the rock is still be- ing thrown from the top of Turtle mountain and it is impossible to venture within half a mile of the mine workings. The latest information from Frank is somewhat more reas- suring than earlier news, in that there now seems to be less danger than was at first anticipated of an extensive disaster. The threatened flood, which bid fair to duplicate the Johnstown disaster, seems this even- ing less probuble. A large force of men has been at work trying to ereate a new channel that the dam- med up water of the Old Man’s river may run off. The men will work throughout the night and it ishoped that the water will be running through the new channel before morn- ing. Most of the men imprisoned in the mine, whose death at first seemed certain, got out alive late this after- noon. There were seventeen men in the mine. Two died from suffoca- tion, but the other fifteen worked their way out. The rescuing party above ground despaired of saving the entombed miners, for the en- trance was blocked by immense piles of broken rocks. The miners within, however, found an exit where there was less rock, and after cutting their way through thirty feet of debris all but two emerged from the mine unin- jured. One of the imprisoned men who so narrowly escaped death went home after emerging from the mine and found his house destroyed and , people his wife and six children dead. CASTOBIA The Kind You The Appetite of Human Nature When Uneeda Biscult were first introduced, a conservative said: “They are all right as far as they go, but they won't satisfy the worker. The worker, you see, wants something solid, and substantial, and p!ain—like potatoes, cabbage, or beef. These delicate and crisp biscuit, packed so daintily, in that In-er-seal Package, will not appeal to him any more than winter strawberries.” That sounded like good reasoning. But fact upsets theory. Workers everywhere have been great consumers of Uneeda@ Biscuit The outdoor worker, seated at noon upon the sidewalk, a house wall for his back rest; mill hands in the mill yard, seated on comfortable bales; teamsters and draymen, on their high box seats—all have eaten Uneeda Biscult, and their wives have eaten them, and their children have eaten them. Another conservative took another “Uneeda Biscult are all right,” he said, “to sell to the workers, but you must not expect to sell them to the more prosperous people. They are too cheap. Five cents a package—that kills Uneeda Biscuit so far as the wealthy are concerned. The price should be higher—they are worth it.” That, too, sounded reasonable, but it also turned out to be only theory, For the greatest grocers of the city and of the country say Uneeda Biscult have taken the place of the more expensive biscuit. Over 200,000,000 packages have been consumed. The worker cats Uneeda Biscuit because of their goodness, view: The~wealthy eat-them—because- of -their-delicacy. The whole world eats them because they represent the highest value as a food product—pure, wholesome, good. The appetite of human nature always relishes a good change of dict—Uneeda Milk Biscult is a change that never disappoints.

The time he was sentenced to death. The second trial resulted in a lifesen- tence. Each time the state supreme court gave him a newchance. Itwas charged that Howard fired the shot that killed the Kentucky governor.

In going to the hotel they had to pass through an open lot on which is a 60-foot uncovered dry well. Two of the men plunged to the bottom of the well, the third man escaping. It took almost an hour to rescue the men from the well. Dr. Strickland was unconscious for| %°™ six hours. Johndrow is not so ser- iously hurt, it is thought. ~ Tyner a Very Sick Man.
