Butte, Mont., Nov. 7.—Seven are dead, many burned and aboutseven- ty-five men are in the underground workings in a fire in the Kearsarge mine at Summit, eight miles from there. The known dead are the su- perintendent, R. B. Turner, a miner named Tobin and five other miners These seven bodies have been recov- ered. The men still in the mine may have perished from flame or smoke The World's Largest Corn Grower. From the Worid’s Work Prof. T. N. Carver, Harvard univ- ersity, has described the corn opera- tions of David Rankin, of Tarkio, Mo., the largest corn grower in the world. Mr. Rankin operates fourteen ranches, with a total acreage of more than 25,000 acres. The following is asummary of his farming operations for the year 19 11: The plant employed 200 men.

Politicians in Washington Think His Charices Are Improved And Roosevelt’s Hurt. Washington, Nov. 7.—The major- ity of public men, not connected with the administration, express the delief that the victory in New York and Maryland, where the President's ad- ministration has been regarded by both parties as somewhat of anissue, tend to weaken Mr. Roosevelt’s chances forthe nomination, and eape- cially so in view of Senator Hanna’s success in Ohio. There is more discussion of Hanne asthe prospective nominee next year thin bas been heard at any tim: horetofore. It is the common topic 0! political gossip in hotel corridors and with politicians of both parties wherever they meet. SENATOR HANNA MAKES DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT, Cleveland, O, Nov. 7.—Senator Hanna, referring to the renewed sug- gestions made in various quarters to theeffect that he is the logical Repub lican candidate for the presidency next year, as a result of the unprece- dented victory won in Ohio at Tues- day's election, made this statement to-night: “The results of the election in Ohio yesterday in nowise change my opin- ion in reference to my proposed can- didacy for the presidency, of which position the public has been fully advised,” BECKHAM’S MAJORITY 30,408. Democratic Victory in Kentucky Most Sweeping in Fifteen Years, Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7.—Returne, which are complete save for a few scattered precincts in remote parts of the State, give Governor Beckham, Democrat, for Governor, @ majority of 30,408 over Morris B. Belknap, his Republican opponent, in Tuesday’s balloting. The missing precincts are in both Republican and Democratic strong- holds, yet the assertion seems war- ranted that the Governor’s fina! and official majority will not be less than 25,000. This is the largest majority given toa Democratic gubernatorial can- didate in fifteen years. Returns of the mountainous coun- ties comprising the Eleventh District give Belknop a majority of 15,353, with two or three precincts yet to be heard from. This indicates a falling offin the Republican vote, as thir district usually returns about 20, 000 majority for that party. The socialist and Socialist Labor parties had full tickets in the field, but their vote was small. The Republicans are preparing charges of fraud alleged to have been perpetrated in Louiaville, which they probably will present to the Grand Jury in a few days. Tom Kiley, the Democraticelectior judge, who was shot yesterday in a fight with a Republican election Sheriff, was to night pronounced out of danger. A War Dance in Oklahoma. Lawton, Ok, Nov. 7.—The big pow-wow of Wichitas, Apaches, Comanches, Pawnees and Kiowae held its first big dance to-day at Chief Quanah Parker’s residence in the mountains near Cache. There is some trouble in carrying out the programe, as the notices sent out by Parker name November 6, The In- dians thought it. to be the sixth day ofthe moon, which was last Satur day, and they came then. This celebration is held but once in ten years. The Indians «are dressed fa war colors and paint. They go through all their ceremonies. Hun- dreds of visitors from the territory areon hand. Chief Geronimo of the Apaches was present to-day, but had toleave in time to get to the reserva- tion for roll call. He is a prisoner of war.

Figures of Imports and Exports of 1893 and 1903 Show Growth of the Country Dering the Period Covered, The contrast between the extent and Volume of our commerce in 1903 and that of 1893 is illustrated by some fig- ures just presented by the department of commerce and labor, through its bureau of statistics. These figures show thé imports from and exports to each of the grand divisions of the world in 1893 and in 1903 and thus show at a glance the growth during the period so covered. They show that imports have grown from $866,000,000 to $1,025,- 000,000, an increase of $159,000,000, and that exports have grown from §$847,- 000,000 to $1,420,000,000, an increase of $573,000,000. They show that $92,000,- 000 of the increase in imports comes from Europe, $55,000,000 from Asia and about $5,000,000 each from North Amer- ica, South America and Africa. The figures for Oceania show an apparent falling off of about $5,000,000, but this is due to the fact that the merchandise brought from Hawali is no longer classed as imports, Hawaii being now a territory of the United States. If this were included in the figures of im- ports in 1903, it would show a growth of imports from Oceania of about $20,000,- 000, On the export side the showing ts equally interesting. Of the $573,000,000 of increase, $367,000,000 was to Europe, $94,000,000 to North America, $41,- 000,000 to Asia, $33,000,000 to Africa, $26,000,000 to Oceania and $8,000,000 to South America, In case the shipments to Hawaii were included, the increase to Oceania would be about $36,000,000. In case those to Porto Rico were includ- ed, the increase to North America would be over $100,000,000. Even more interesting is a little ta ble which shows the gain in exports to each of the principal countries of the world, This table includes only ten countries, yet to these were sent $1,- 159,000,000 worth of the total exports of 1903, leaving only $261,000,000 sent to all the other countries. The ten countries, stating them in the order of magnitude of the exports to them, are the United Kingdom, Germany, France. Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, Mexico China, Japan and Australia. To Ger- many the exports show a growth of $110,000,000 from 1898 to 1903; to the United’ Kingdom, $103,000,000; to Can- ada, $77,000,000; to Netherlands, $40,- 000,000; France, $31,000,000; Mexico. $23,000,000; Australia, $22,000,000; Bel- sium, $21,000,000; Japan, $17,000,000; China, $15,000,000, and to all other coun- tries, $112,000,000. BONES OF MAGI FOUND. Cardinal Ferrari Claims Discovery of Stolen Relics of the Three Wise Men. Cardinal Ferrari has brought from Cologne to Milan a remarkable present for the Milan church ef St. Eustorgius It is an ancient wooden urn containing relics of the three magi kings who camc from the east to Bethlehem to attend thr nativity. The cardinal declares the urr contains a portion of the thigh bone of Melchior, a piece of Balthasar’s shir bone and one of Gaspar’s teeth. The cardinal has placed the relics on exhibi- tion in the archepiscopal chapel of Milan and when an appropriate caeket is fin- ished the relics will be transferred to the church of St. Eustorgius, where there is an empty sepulcher bearing the Latin inscription “Sepulchrum trium Magor- um,” from which it is supposed the bodies of tlfe three wise men were stolen seven centuries ago. It fs alleged the bodies were translated from Constanti- nople to Milan by Bishop Eustorgius, It is not explained how the bodies got to Constantinople. Catholic historians long ago abandoned authenticity of the relics. Nevertheless, Milan Is delighted that the sepulcher {s to be again filled. TRAIN WAS A DAY LATE. At That, This Proxpective Passenger Missed It and Sued the Road for Damages. The sale of the Indiana & Illinois ratl- road to the Illinofs Central recently re- calls an amusing story. When the Switz City, Ind., division of the Illinois Cen- tral was built it was known as the In- diana & Illinois Southern. It was a narrow gauge road, the roadbed was bad, the engines and oars were built on a miniature scale, and, while there was a schedule, had a train been on time the’ fact would have been regarded as a miracle. The road was known as the “Try-Weakly.” About 20 years ago Josiah McConnell desired to go to Switz City from Sulli- van, but missed the train by a minute or two. The clock at the station showed that the train had left Sullivan five min- utes ahead of time, and McConnell sued the raflroad company for $5,000 dam- ages. On atrial of the case, it was proved beyond a doubt that the train McConnell missed should have gone the day before, and was really 23 hours and RE mt: utes late. Turned Down the Dollar.

Wealthy Michigan City, Ind., Farmer im Search of Helpmeet Will Give Any Woman a Week's Trial. “I Know exactly what kind of a wom- an I want for a wife, and I can’t be im- posed on by any gold brick schemers. I'm toe old to be in a hurry, but I'm getting anxious to settle down and have it over with. I'll give a bunch of money and half a beef to the man that finds me what I want.” Thus spoke Daniel Overmyer, ap elderly and well-to-do farmer, who lives on the line between Fulton and Pulaski counties, in Indiana, and who has been advertising for a wife. He means busi- ness and has had responses to his “ads.” from many states and from many candi- dates, but is still a single man. He owns 200 acres of good land, well im- proved, and considerable stock and grain, and is out of debt. His standing is good among his neighbors, and there is nothing queer about him, excepting & little inoffensive eccentricity. Seen at his farm home he spoke freely of his matrimonial hopes, and described the woman he is seeking. “She must be young enough to cackle, and she mustn't be afraid to work nor too tired to spruce up a bit and gotoa picnic with me once in awhile,” Over- myer said. “I like them Sunday excur- sions, too, and I don't want to drag no dead woman around with me. She must have good sense and suit my eye for looks,” Overmyer is a good looking fellow of about 50, dresses neatly, has a pleasant home and raises fine stock. He declares that he can do stunts in farm work with the best man in the country. He has 11 heirs, and will divide his property and give his accepted wife her share in “cold coin” at the wedding. “I'm a good provider,” he continued, “and will contract to kill three young beeves and five hogs on the place every year, If any lady wants to look meover for a week I will meet her at the train and send her back with all expenses paid if she is not satisfied.” TO BUILD PALACE ON WHEELS. New Company Will Establish Mag- nificent Hotel Service Between New York and San Francisco, The Harris Palatial Car company has been organized under the laws of the state of New Jersey with a capital of a train of five rolling palaces between New York and San Francisco, with so many improvements aud conveniences that a Fifth Avenue hotel patron wil! not know he Is out of New York if he doesn't lok out of the windows, This five-car train the company pur- poses to build will be known as the Waldorf-Astoria de luxe train. Its pa- trons will be kept exclusive by the fact that the passengers will be booked from one of the best hotels in each city through which it passes, The train will have everything from palm gardens to a laundry, and nothing a patron of a swell hotel can get by pushing a but- ton will be lacking. To make it unique arrangements have been made with the railroad lines over which the train is to pass to have It complete its trip across the continent and back in ten days so the train will leave with its passengers every tenth day. The idea is the outgrowth of the de- funct Harris Palatial Car company in Boston, which went under in an ava- lanche of litigation over patents and ownership of stock in 1889. “If we find the scheme takes,” said Mr. Harris, “we will put on additional trains so-as to have-three a week leav- ing New York and San Francisco. We have capital and men behind the scheme, and it is only a question of a few weeks before work will be started on the new cars. A schedule will be issued imme- diately on their completion.” EDELWEISS GROWING SCARCE. Wholesale Destruction Threatens Extinction of This Pretty Alpine Flower. Attention has again been called to the wholesale destruction of edelweiss by an advertisement in the Davoser Zeitung asking for 125 pounds of the flowers. The advertiser is a Zurich dealer. The trade in this pretty Alpine flower has within the last few years developed into quite a large industry in Switzerland. It is extensively used for funeral wreaths, and some time ago a large wreath was made here com- posed entirely of edelweiss, the value of the flowers being over £3. It may be added that a fairly extensive allied industry is the manufacture of edel- weiss. The disappearance of some of the rarer Alpine flowers is continually being reported in the Alps, and edel- weiss in particular is altogether ex- tinct in some places where it was abundant not many years ago. An Unlimited Supply. Two more American heiresses, Miss May Goelet and Miss Gladys Deacon, are expected to become the wives of English dukes in the near future. It is simply wonderful, remarks the Chi- cago Record-Herald, how the supply of Tnglish dukes holds out.
