No wonder you have dyspepsia. You might f well expect a watch to run smoothly after greasing it gr I-■■ ■* with butter, instead of lubricating it with some fine oil. B You carnot throw everything into your stomach and exfl pect that organ to work well and do its duty; but never mind all that, fl learn first to treat your stomach with halt-way respect. Learn next how, fl if you have broken it down, to make it well. The way to do that is to take Romoc. It is Nature's own remedy. I There is nothing like Romoc tor Indigestion.

'J MINE HORROR I Deadly Explosion Entombs Near Two Hundred in Pennsylvania Colliery. For Hours It Was Thought That Al! Were Dead, but Developments Are Hopsful. Many Survived the Deadly Fumes, but Death List Is None the Less Appalling. Pittsburg. .Tan. 26. —From all that can be gathered between 180 and 190 men am lying dead in the headings and passageways of the Harwick mine of the Allegheny Coal company st Cheswick, the result of a terrific explosion. Cage after cage has g< lit down into the mine and come up again, but only one miner of all those that went down to work has been brought to ths surface. The rescued man Is still In a semi conscious condition at the temporary hospital at the rude schoolhouse on ths hillside above the mine. In addition to the miners who were at work when the explosion occurred it Is now believed by practically all of the men of the rescue party who have come up the 22V-foot vertical shaft for a breathing spell, Miat Selwln M. Taylor, the Pittsburg mining engineer who plotted the mine and who was the first to reach the liottom after the ex plosion happened, is also now among the list ot dead. Os those in th? mine all are probably dead. The first warning of the explosion was the sudden rumble underground, and then a sheet of flame followed up the deep shaft. Both mine cages were hurled through the tipple twenty feet above the landing stage and the throe men on the tipple were hurled to the ground.. A mule was thrown high above the shaft and fell dead on the ground. The injured men were brought at once to this city, where two of them have since died. As soon as the rumble of the explosion and the crash at the pit mouth startled the little village, the wives and children of the men below rushed to the scene of the disturbance, but to gain no encouragement. There was no way to get into the deep workings. The cages that let the men into the mines and brought them out again when the day’s work was done were I loth demolished. There were calls for assistance and for surgical aid from the men in charge of the miner and some hours later the first attempt at rescue was made. This was a failure, as the two men who volunteered were driven back by the foul air. Selwin M. Taylor and one of his assistants then signalled for the engineer to lower them into the shaft. Taylor is still down there. Three times efforts have been made to reach him. but sc. far without avail. Thomas Wood, one of the first of the rescue l>arty hauled to the surface, said that Taylor was overcome by gas and fell and that he was compelled to flee for his life. After further efforts to reach the entombed miners Robert North and Michael Cain of the rescue party came to the surface and reported that Seiwyn Taylor had been found alive, and that seventy-five of the miners had been located, the majority of them, It is believed, alive. The report of the rescuers to the effect that many were alive was rudely shattered when the body of Seiwin Taylor was later brought to the surface. He had evidently been dead for several hours and now hopes for the other imprison d mtn have been abandoned. The rescuers report that dead are scattered one above the other as thick as pine needles. Water Is fast pouring into the mine, covering the corpses with a shroud of ice and mak Ing the work of rescue almost impos slble. After damp is collecting in quantities.
