ONE HUNDRBD LIVS LOST. Terrific Explosion in Coal Shaft al Primero, Col.-Disaster Said to Be Worst in History of Western Coal Mining. Primero, Col., Jan. 31.-More than -a hundred men are bekieve, to havt been killed by a terrific explosion im .the Pnimero mine of the Colorad& Fuel and Iron company at 4:30 this afternoon. Eight bodies have been recovered and rescue parties are making des perate efforts to reach the interior workings 'ut off from the outside by the eaving of the main shaft. Three men were killed at the mouth of the mine slope by the force of the explosion. Both fans with which the mine is equipped were shattered and it was impossible to enter the mine until they were repaird at 7:30 to-night. As soon as the fans were repaired General Superintendent J. F. Thomp son and a rescue party entered by the main airshaft. but were unable to reach the main shaft, which is ,completely blocked. The party re turned to the surface after securing five bodies, which were badly burned. A party equipped with oxygen.hal mets replaced' this party, the work ings were reached through an air -shaft -and they are now searching for more bodies. Miners were rushed to Primero from Trinidad, Segundo, Starksville, .Sopris and Cokerville, and are labor ing frantieal'y to clear the main shaft, relieving each other every few minutes. It is impossible to deter mine how far the main shaft has -caved, add it may be days before the shaft is cleared and the total death list known. There is little hope that any of the men in the mino are alive. The 4dom pany clerk reports that 79 safhty 4iamps are missing, and it is sure that 4hat number of men axe entombed. Many of the miners, :however, say, -that 150 men are missing. Most of the men are Slavs and HUngarians. Pit Boss Wilhelm is known to be among the miSMing The camp is a scene of indescrib able horror -tonight. While every ablebodied man is taking his turn with pick an'd shovel to clear the shaft, the women and chiliren, kept back by ropes,' have gthered about -/the shaft, weeping and1 calling wildly u.pon their loved ones, who have not ~been found. Experts from all the coal camps -of the State have gathered to assist Saperintendent Thompson. Fifteen Bodes Recovered.

A special train carrying physicians It and Coroner Gilfoyle arrived at 9:45. Offik-ials of the company state that the disaster 's the worst in the h< history of Western coal mining.

Primero, Col., Feb. 1.-To-night in W Primero, where yesterday the lives of seventynine miners were snuffed by an explosion in the main slopa of Pi the Colorado Fuel and Iron Compa ny's mine, the bodies of forty vic tims lie in tOie -temporary morgue in stalled in the maehine shop. D A large force of men still is en- S gaged in restoring ventilation through the mine, and hundreds of Si' people are lingering about the mouth of the shaft waiting the recorary of more bodies. Some of the officials of the cofn pany have turned their attention to relief work. Coroner Guilfoil 7 has empanelled a jury to investigate the Br catastrophe and relatives and friends S of the identified dead have turned. their attention to preparations for Ki their burial. The disaster is believed to hav* Th been caused by an explosion, of fire damp, ignited either through the crimping of a cap for a fuse or the lighting of a match surreptitiously .earried into the workings. Immediately following the report Th of the explosion -a column of dust and 1 smoke poured out of the main en- Hi trance. Large pieces of timber ware I thrown from the entrance for more Bu than a hundred feet, and with such I terrific force that a string of ears in the mine mouth were blown from the track. The huge ventilating fans within an hour were put in operation and rescue parties were forcing 'their way into the gas-filled workings. .The rescuers followed the' main ventilat- W ing shaft for several hundred yards, gaining entrance to the main slope' Hi through a cross-cut. __________He To Relieve the World. Ennis (Texas) Daily News. The News today takes more than ordinary pride in calling the atten tion of. its readers to the announce ment'of the food products of Cotton 'Seed Flour as appearing in, ourad vertising columns, and; wou-ld have it remembered that -this is the very first announcement ever made in any newspaper anywhere of the ability .to furnish in a commercial way this ab-1 solutely new and impor.tant article of food. History records that the birth .of a baby in an humble home, in an obscure Corsican village changed the map of Europe and marked an epoch in the life of all the world. -May it not prove that in this modest and unpretentious ad vertisement we piesent today, we set the white stone that denotes a new era in the food supply of all the world! The~deepest thinkers of our day busy with' those things touehing. the economic porblems of the Na tions have already sounded the warning, that based upon the known g ratio of increase in the world's pop ulation, the known food 'supply is already dangerously near the point of insufficiency. Magazines'- and text books are filled with earnest and se rious discussions pointing out the rapidly diminishing adequacy of the world 's wheat supply. No less an authority than: Mr. James J. Hill says that thie United States can no longer class herself as a wheat ex porting country and within a very few years Americans must look else where for their food supply. But neither Mr. Hill nor the other food eleonomistis had counted upon this yet untouched source, which the South stands ready to deliver. Our forefathers were naked sav ages when the Lake Dwellers first made bread from broken grains of barley, roasted in ,brush fires. Wheat and then wheaten bread followed, but ij has taken more than two thousand years to make a barrel of patent flour-and now, our own dear land of the South always first in all that is dearest and best; offers to a famishing world a food supply greater in nutritive value than the wheat crop of all the world. The South already clothes the world and now she offers to feed it. Cotton seed flour is a commercial et and Ennis stands sponsor for B e annouicenent.

Dyspepsia wears ont the body and brain. The weakened, irnitable stom ach being unable to digest food, the body does not receive the required nourishment, and the viotim becomes thin, weak and haggard.- As a re- h suit, the body becomes a ferti-le field in whih the germs of disease mayE lodge and uourish. Therefore, the person who permits dyspepsia~ to progress unaiindered is guilty of contributing toward the de velopment of one of the most insidi :>us and fataL diseases known to main kind. .S ,Dyspepsia may be completely eraid ieated if properly treated.
