The l'roslaontN Dying Mothorltooojr
nlzos T'hoMi nt Her llednldo.
Canton, O., Dec. 7. There was an
agreeable surprise to the children and
friends gathered about the bedside ot
Mrs. Nancy Allison McKlnley yester
day afternoon. She regained conscious
ness sufficiently to recognize not only
her children, but to extend greeting to
them, to her aged sister, Mrs. Osborne,
Charles Miller, and to others who were
near. Nourishment was given her about
noon. It was soon after that she mani
fested signs of returning consciousness.
The first nourishment received for sev
eral days had a good effect, and she at
once rallied. It Is not thought, how
ever, that she will ever regain com
plete consciousness. When the attend
ing physician left Mrs. McKlnley last
evening It was with a feeling that -she
would survive the night and possibly
longer. She had taken no nourishment
since early In the afternoon, and was
not In quite as good condition as when
she seemed to recognize those about
her.

How the accident oecurreu is noi
clear, for the men who figured in It
are all foreigners, and unable to tell
a coherent story. The Clear Spring
mine is located across the river from
this town. The first Intimation of a
mishap was when the earth violently
shook add caused wnoie uiocits 01
houses to sway as though nn earth
quake was In progress. , The explosion
blew brattices to pieces, and great
masses of coal and rock obstructed the
work of the rescuers. The seven en
tombed men escaped bodily harm and
were rescued after several hours' work.
One of the men who escaped sold a
runaway car had knocked loose a prop.
This fell, and with It caved In a mass
of rock, the deadly gas escaping from
the otwnlnsr thus paused. The mine
Is badly damared.

WHAT IS LIFE?
A Discovery by Prof. Gates,
of Washington, Which .An
swers the Question.
An Intarostlrig Subjeot.
"What Is life?" This question has been
asked during nil ages, but it has uerer until
now been successfully answered. Professor
Elmer Gates, of Washington, who- has been
lnakins great experiments with the micro
s'oi" has niado virtually, a ilouhlo micro
scope ; in other words, ho hiincs tho image
of tho first mlrroscopc on tho lens, which
picture on tho leni is enlarged by tho second
microscope so that many things which It Is
imposslhlo to see with an ordinary micro,
scope aro revealed. In this way ho IS able to
so -the smallest cells of the body In an x
e 'lingly large form, lloaays: "Cutapicco
in prutoplasm into a number of pieces and
oacli plcro will still bo alive, tlius proving
that tho germs of life exint In even the
minutest partlclo of the body.
Rut be goes farther aid says that he be
lieves mind is life, and that mind Is prosout
hi every particle of the bsdy. This Is a new,
a startling, a wonderful theory aud it may
lead to a revolution on tho subjects of dls
ease, health and of happinoss. It explains
clearly 0110 thing and that is, vrhy the mind
Is frequently affected when tho body is dis
ordered, and it brines homo the question of
health or disease very forcibly.
It becomes plain that in order to have a
clear head and a strong mind, ono must have
a body that is In perfect condition. When
tho body is deranged the mind cannot work
rightly. With pains in the back, nausea,
weariness, bearing down sensations and all
tho symptoms indicating a weakened condi
tion of the kidneys aud urinary organs,
there is certain to be a clouding of the in.
tellect which calls for immcdiato action.
This action can only bo successfully taken
by using some great, modern discovery that
is certain to put tho cell tissues in perfect
shape. There is such a discovery and it is
doing more to counteract pain and establish
health than anything known to modern
times. In speaking of it Dr. William Ed
ward Robson, of London, says: "I em
phatically state that I have been able to give
more relief and effect more cures by the uso
of Warner's Safe Cure than by all the medi
cines in the British pharmacopasia." Doctor
R. A. Gnnn, dean of the United States Med
ical College, says : "I prescribe and use
Warner's Safe Cure in both acute or chronic
Itrijlifa diseaso and commend it ' moat
frankly."
Kncli statements sbould convince any man
or woman that there is no need of further
suffering, If a prompt nsa is made of the
remedy that is cummended so blgh'.y.
