The committee on entertainment consisted of four young men and secretary Johnson, who did every thing possible to carry out the spirit which underlies the social side of the Y. M. C. A. work. The two Buxton bands under the efficient leadership of Prof. Jackson furnished music for the occasion, and it will suffice to say that it was fine. The menu was as follows: Roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potato salad, pickels, celery, butter, bread sticks, oranges, bananas, ice cream, cake and coffee. A march was played at 8:00 o'clock, and one hundred and sixty men marched into the auditorium, which was decorated. Rev. Jackson of the A. M. E. church invoked God's blessings, and for thirty-five minutes every one enjoyed the spread. The special guests of the evening was the Educational Secretary of the International Y. M. C. A., J. C. Ross, of New York City, and Rev. H. W. Porter of Des Moines. Secretary Ross presented the educational work in all branches of both home and foreign Y. M. C. A., illustrated by lantern slides. Rev. Porter presented the spiritual work of the Y. M. C. A. Among others who were present to add much to the occasion were the officials of the department stores and Bank of Buxton, and editor J. W. Johnson of Bussey, Iowa, Prof. Gilland of the Buxton school, Revs. Jackson and Mendanhall. It has long since been decided Secretary L. E. Johnson is the man for the work at Buxton, for few men can draw about them as many earnest men as Mr. Johnson has about him at Buxton. There is no organization that can at the same time and in the way do so much for the mind, body and spiritual up lift of mankind as the Y. M. C. A. The ladies, led by the wife of Secretary Johnson, acted well their part in seeing that everyone was well served. We can only hope that other towns will soon feel the need of a Y. M. C. A., and that every thinking man will realize its need by aiding in every way possible, that we might save our men. Benediction by Rev. Mendenhall. Thornburg For Superintendent. This week we announce the name of Prof. Z. C. Thornburg the present county superintendent for renomination as county superintendent. Mr. Thornburg has made one of the most efficient county superintendent that this county has ever had. He has also increased the wages of the teachers to about 25 percent, the school year has been increased in length there has been general improvement in buildings and premises, and at the exhibit at St. Louis, Polk County was given a bronze medie the highest reward that any rural school exhibit covering an entire county could receive. This shows the excellent condition of our school system which every voter and tax payer of this county should be pleased to note the fact. The many friends of Prof. Thornburg would be please to see that our educational interest will even reach a greater degree for us in the next two years than ever before. Thanking his many friends for past support he sollicit their support again on the primary day, if you think his labor merits that support. Afflicted With Rheumatism; "if was and am yet afflicted with rheumatism," says Mr. J. C. Bayne, editor of the Herald, addington, Indian Territory, "but thanks to Chamberlain's Pain Balm am able once more to attend to business. It is the best of liiness."

Cope For Justice of Peace. It is a pleasure this week for us to announce one of our well known men Fred A. Cope as a candidate for justice of peace of West Des Moines. Mr. Cope is no stranger to our city and county, he is an Iowa by birth, born in 1867 came to Polk County in 1871 where he received his common school education and was deputy county auditor for several years and later was elected as county auditor and served two terms with credit to himself and county. He was educated at Drake University, taking a literary course and graduated from the law department of the same university where he was admitted to practice law in 1899. He is one of the popular active working young republicans and no doubt merit the support of his party to the office he now aspires. THE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN There is an effort on the part of some republican kickers or knockers to defeat the regular republican nominees, who were honestly and fairly nominated under the primary system. In our judgement we think it unwise, unjust to the g. o. p. and disloyal to the principles of republicanism. The candidates on the republican ticket are good olean worthy men no better class of men could be selected in our city as a whole. They are honorable and successful men and each alderman should be elected, because all classes are represented from the civil war veteran to the young man, then again they are true and tried republicans. Then why need any one to leave his party, why need any one become a scratcher, why should we desert the grand old ship that has carried us safely in the past. No Chicago IL, March 16.

When last heard from Castro was threatening to knock the bottom out of the universe. Radium is a good thing to speculate on. In three years it has risen from $25 to $550 a speck. Cheer up! All the French briar root comes from Scotland, even if the Scotch whisky doesn't. Spring shoes are moving, according to the market reports. That's the way they get worn out. A man is called a soldier of fortune because he generally averages about $13 a month at his trade. Woman, says Fulda, the German playwright, is first in modern art. Also in the hearts of her countrymen. Who would ever guess now that the time-motto of John L. Sullivan was: "My right there is none to dispute"? The Paris newspapers haven't printed a line about Count Boul's trouble. A little thing like that isn't a novelty ever there. Admiral Dewey has never told anybody whether he thinks it is a compliment to that dry dock named after him or not. What are the men thinking about that they do not come to the frond with an infraction against dressmaker conventions? And now a scientist declares music enlarges the brain. Of course it does. If it didn't what would the musicians do with their hair? It is charged that at the recent city election in Pittsburgh 7,000 illegal votes were cast. The conversion of city is exceedingly difficult. Old Geronimo has been dethroned. Poor Geronimo. His bad luck has come in bunches. He took his eight wife only a few weeks ago. Dr. Wiley says "bottled whisky is the only safe kind." Shucks it isn't safe for two minutes when the woods are full of corkscrew towers. Castro, who says he will "break up the Monroe doctrine and clear out the foreigner," should be warned by some friends to stop mixing his drinks. In planning that forty-story skyscraper to be erected in New York, has the archbishop made any provision for an airship station on the roof? There they go again, those dressmakers, teaching our angels how to make the men believe they are modeled after Venus. Is there no law again it? Mark Twain says every man should be "a good citizen for all he is worth." There are indications that in many parts of the country the advice is being beheaded. The boys may be forced to write "trauf," "ruf," "tuf," and "ung." at school, but they will not use that kind of spelling when they are old enough to write love letters. In the Harlem district of New York the other night, a woman, by simply starting to play on her piano, frightened away two burglar. No home should be without one. That New York dentist who has been charging his patient at the rate of $2.50 a day when she didn't keep her appointment with him deserves to have the jumping toothache. It is said that in the Russian douma, if it ever meets, eight languages will be spoken, many of the delegates knowing but one of the eight. The troubles of Russia have just begun. In Philadelphia the other day one man tried to kill another after they had quarreled over a goat. Even in the case of the goat, comedy and tragedy may be separated by but a whisker. Vegetarians are responsible for the high price of shoes, according to a study. How can that be when the high price of meat is responsible for the increase of vegetarians? It has been discovered that George Gissing, the celebrated English novelist who died not long ago, once worked in America as a gas fitter. Evidently he didn't go into literature merely to make money. Reports from Blairritz indicate that the Countess do Castellane will agree to a separation from Boni on easy terms. Any terms that will render it unnecessary for him to worry over finances will be regarded as easy by the count. A New Jersey court holds that a man is not responsible for beer bills incurred by his life, as beer is not a necessary of life. A certain smart set near New Jersey would like to know whether the same rule applies to-cocktails and highhalls. Here! Quit it! We have diseases enough. Soak that diacupillus, no matter whether chromogenic or pathogenic or heterogenic, in alcohol, or canned tomatoes, or some other perilous chemical, and let us frelong with such microbes as we have. Picking cranberries on Sunday when frost threatens is not a work of necessity, says the Massachusetts supreme court.

AIMS AT SERIOUS EVILS Will Help the Smaller Oil Companies —It Is Intended to Preserve Competition—Only Thirteen Votes Were Against It. Des Mones, March 22.-By a vote of 66 to 12, the house of representatives yesterday morning passed the Cummings anti-discrimination bill. The bill is probably better known as the Standard Oil bill, and its object, as stated by the author in his opening argument, is to prevent the Standard Oil company from driving out the smaller independent companies by cutting rates to make nothing in one place and raising them in others, to avoid a cohesion to the bill came when the roll was called, and the only speech on the subject was tense by Mr. Cummings, who also afforded the only amendment. This amendment was to throw greater protection out to general wholesalers. The bill is house file 253, and was proposed by the house committee on judicial, March 15, with favorable recommendation. In urging the adoption of the bill, Mr. Cummins said: "This bill is aimed at the abuses of the Standard Oil company." He then said that there were few independent oil companies in the state and that the usual method of killing them off when they did spring up; cutting prices in that section of the state where the independent company is running and increasing them in other portions of the state to make up for it. Mr. Cummings cited a case, Marshalltown and Union, an oil company that was involved in business and the price of oil went down to 4 cents while it went up in Marshalltown. Des Moines, March 22.—The senate yesterday voted to put a single board of regents over the three state educational institutions.

Fort Dodge, March 20.—By breaking in, two a double header freight train on the Tara hill of the Illinois Central experienced one of the worst wrecks in years on Sunday night. Traffic was delayed many hours. The engineer of the first section did not notice that the train had broken in for some time and then started back down the hill to find it. The two sections with engine behind same together on a reverse curve. Several cars of coal, lumber, pig iron, and rosin were reduced to splinter. This car brekeman had started for the head end and reached the car of rosin when the collision came. After two hours search, the crew found him buried in rosin badly mangled but alive.

He is an amateur about three three ILLINOIS CENTRAL Fort Dodge, March 23—Because Engineer Brown of Fort Dodge stood by his engine and slowed No. 1, the Illinois Central lifted, down from a mile a minute gait to less than half that speed, the list of casualties in the head-on collision at Duncombe at 5 o'clock yesterday morning is small. But for the heroic work of Brown, who held his hottie tightly in the face of death, doubtless there would have been twenty or thirty passengers killed. Brown himself as capped almost miraculously. He was hurled from his engine where the collision with an east bound freight occurred and carried forty feet through the air toward a cornfield. He was caught in the barb wire fence and was badly cut and bruised, and a bullet was thrown into his body internally, but it is believed that he will recover. His fireman, Walter Cutting, of Waterloo, met death by jumping from the same engine upon which Brown stayed and lived. Cutting's neck was broken by the rail from the train as it sped fifty miles an hour toward certain collision sites. He was pulled by another who was pulling the second engine on the west bound limited also jumped and his ankle was broken. His fireman jumped and received only a few scratches. The passengers on the limited were not hurt. out of Webster city, with orders to push her through to Fort Dodge. There was nothing on the line save a freight that struck out of Fort Dodge about 4 'o'clock with more than ample time to make Dumbrec and get on the sliding. There was a brisk wind blowing and the freight was moving east from Fort Dodge. As nearly as can be figured the freight train was fifteen minutes longer getting to Dumbrec than the dispatcher had figured. In the magazine No. 1 was speeding westward with the wind, headed by two of the new ten hundred type engines. When No. 1 popped into Dumbrec, the freight was just getting ready to start into the sliding, from the west end of the switch. Brown, headlight of the freight and dimly cutlined behind it the winding snake-like freight pulling slowly into the sliding. The limited was only the minutes and there were forty box cars yet in the string to run on the slidetrack. In an instant three of the tour man in the engines jumped while Brown remained at his post. The brakes were set and the engine reversed and it is believed that the speed of us were reduced to thirty- or forty miles an hour before the collision occurred. Engineer Brown's engine is a scrap heap now. It plowed its way through four rows of box cars and finally came to a stop. The second engine of the limited remained on the track and was not seriously damaged. GRAPPLES WITH ROBBER. Editor Newton of Castana Beater Into insensibility.

Des Moines, March 21—After a hearing that lasted during the greater part of yesterday afternoon, the house committee on railroads and commerce voted to kill the Sankey 2 cent fare bill. Prominent railroad men were before the committee to protest against the measure, among them P. S. Eustis, general passenger agent of the Burlington system, who came over from Chicago to address the committee. J. F. Merry of the Illinois Central and others also spoke against the bill, while Representative John D. McCarthy, the bill, made the argument in its favor. The bill provides for a maximum 2-cent fare on all railroads in the state, and is similar to the bill that recently passed the Ohio legislature. The railroad men pointed out that the average rate in the state of Iowa was little over 2 cents a mile, and that any reduction would work a hardship on the railroads and would increase the revenue and service rates; it might also injure the train service in the state. Aside from the officials of the various roads, there appeared before the committee to speak against the bill several employees of the roads, who urged that no legislation along the line suggested be taken. Des Moines, March 20—The bills providing for the labeling of patent medicines with the formulae of their ingredients will be recommended for indefinite postponement by the public health committee of the senate. This fact developed yesterday. The committee held an extended hearing on the subject a few weeks ago and has devoted considerable attention to the subject. But while we vote on this matter, the committee has been disclosed that a majority of the committeemen are not favorable to the proposition. It is not unlikely that in the session of the legislature next winter an effort will be made to include medicines under the pure food law, which will be issued and will become a law July 4. For the purpose of aiding in the administration of the pure food law the Newberry bill to appropriate $3,000 for a laboratory for the dairy and food commissioner was passed by the senate yesterday.

With Irritating Skin Humor—Hair Began to Fall Out—Wonderful Result from Cuticura, Remedies "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin hums; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would get itching. My nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Culture Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Culture Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I was fully grown, my entire cured, and my hair stopped falling out.

"Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better for a table beverage than coffee," writes an Ohio woman—"now I laugh to know there is." "Since childhood I drank coffee as freely as any other member of the family. The result was a pun, sickly girl, and as I grew into womanhood I did not gain in health, but was afflicted with heart trouble, a weak and disordered stomach, wrecked nerves and a general breaking down, till last winter, at the age of 38 I seemed to be a little more of a friend.

BY GAS EXPLOSION Cedar Falls, March 21.—A terrible explosion which occurred at the gas works here yesterday killed and cremated two employees, caused property loss of $50,000, shut off the light and power service in the city and did other heavy damage. The dead and injured are: Dean — James Dorris, single, blown to pieces and ragged parts cremated; Gus Seebert, body mangled beyond recognition and legs, arms and face burned to cork. The fire was extinguished; recover, badly bruised and burned; Dan Christianson, employee, burned and bruised; extent of injuries not known to certainty. Is in bad shape. The explosion was heard throughout the city. In the business portion, which is about eight blocks from the lighting plant, there was a muffled sound, distinct but apparently from a great distance. As nearly as could be learned, Doris and Seebert had been assigned to look for a break in a pipe at one side of the plant. The two men were searching for the leak and it is supposed that one lighted a match to ignite the pipe, and the lowed carried both men into eternity, killing them within the twinkling of an eye. There was a terrible blast of gas, fire and heat with the explosion and this powerful expanding fume and fire tore the human forms before it into fragments. The fire and heat on men's bodies were burned instantly and when found were curled up and covered with black like charcoal. The building was formerly the electric light plant of this city and it was close to the wires which connect this city with Waterloo. Over these wires are carried into Cedar Falls the electric light and power used throughout the city. The force of the explosion pushed one side of the gas plant out and this fell against the service wires from Waterloo. The wires were broken, beaten and twisted and moved very closely motor in the city went dead and it will probably be three days before Cedar Falls, which is a city of 7,000 has any light save the candle and the coal oil lamp. As nearly as can be estimated, the total loss to the gas plant is $50,000. The plant cannot be repaired inside of two weeks and possibly a month. If the new machinery recently installed in the plant exploded, the gas plant was carried into many of the service pipes close to the plant and the pipes were ripped up like paper, making it necessary to go over a number of the mats before the plant can again be operated. It will be impossible to will be immediately result. The large gas storage tank was uninfared. Des Moines, March 23.—The Sankey two-cent fare bill will come before the legislature for passage, the house yesterday morning having refused by a vote of 40 to 10 indefinitely postpone the bill. The house committee on railroads after an extended hearing on the two-cent fare bill had been adjourned by a postponement, but on a minority report in favor of the bill, the house declined to thus summarily kill it off. On motion of Kondall of Monroe the two-cent fare bill was accordingly made a special order following the primary election bill Friday. The minority report in favor of the two-cent fare bill was adjourned by Tama, Van Eaton of Lyon-Oseola, De Mar of Davis and Lowey of Calhoun. Chairman Wise of the railroad committee moved to substitute the majority report postponing the bill indefinitely for the minority report. On roll call the adoption of the majority report was defeated by a vote of 40. Eleven more votes will pass to the house through the house and its friends claim they will have that many from the twenty absentees. Des Molines, March 17—The house committee on elections reported to the house with recommendation of passage a substitute for the Fleenntin primary election bill, which substitute is almost identical with the new measure introduced early this week. A number of changes were in the bill in the direction of perfecting it and to go to the house with a favorable recommendation as a substitute. It will go on the calendar and may be reached early the coming week. Members found that there has been some misunderstanding or misrepresentation not as well understood as the Crossley bill, concerning which there had been much comment. The house committee also acted favorably on the English bill making some additions to the Polk county law looting to perfecting the same. TABOR BANKER BACK. H. C.

Fairmont, W. Va. March 23—An explosion of gas in the mine of the Century Coal company at Century, a small mining town fifty miles south of Here on the Philippi & Buckhannon branch of the Baltimore & Ohio at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon entoured at least 150 miners, many of whom are believed to be dead. The mine is owned by Shaw broths of Baltimore and is one of the largest in northern West Virginia. Two hundred and fifty men are employed but many of these came out before the explosion took place. Following the explosion relief trains were run from Buckhannon and the scene. A telephone message from century at 10 o'clock stated that six dead and ten injured men had been taken from the mine at that time. Superintendent Ward at that hour stated he did not believe there were over twenty men dead in the mine and hundred and fifty of the 250 men employed have been found on the outside, having quit work before the explosion occurred. The main heading has been cleared but there are fourteen subheadings yet to be explored. It is feared that none of the men still in the mine are dead. The mine is not seriously damaged by the explosion except that the brattices have been blown out. The cause of the explosion is not known at this time. The result of the explosion is now stated to be ten men known to be dead twenty-five injured, and from the mine twenty-five missing and believed to be dead. A report from the Century mine at 3 o'clock this morning states that nine dead men have been recovered. Sixteen who were overcome by gas were also brought up. They will recover. There now remain in the mine twelve men whose fate is unknown. St. Petersburg, March 21—Gen. Kuropatkin's last order of the day to the first Manchurian army, printed in the Rusky invalid (the military organ) yesterday, is a remarkable exposure of the causes of Russian defeats, showing that they were due to lack of preparation and equipment and to the fact that there were no explosive shells for the mountain artillery, etc., in the early stages of the war. He does not shirk his own responsibility as minister of war (before the war broke out) but points out that the causes of the defeats were deeper, namely, the morale of the troops and of the officers who did not participate, and the encouragement or enthusiasm, in spite of the iron nerve and heroic spirits of the soldiers. All these the general boldly announces is attributable to the oppression of bureaucratic rule during the last fifty years which in the case of the officers drove men of independence from the service, leaving only the soldiers, who were the troops on the advent of liberty and hope for the regeneration of the people. Gen. Kuropatkin gives the entire losses of the first Manchurian army, which averaged a strength of 100,000 men and 2,200 officers, as 395 officers killed and 1,725 wounded, and 16,858 men killed and 56,350 wounded, and concludes with expressing the opinion that the army should be so strengthened in time of peace that victory will be certain in time of war.

DECISION IS HANDED DOWN Indictments Found Against Corporations Stand—Decision Is A Victory For The Packers in The Suits Started In Chicago. Chicago, March 22—All of the packers who were indicted by the federal grand jury last summer upon charges of being in conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce were yesterday granted immunity from criminal prosecution under the indictment. While the individuals are to go free the indictments found against the corporations of which some of the indicted individuals are members and others are employees are to stand. A decision to the above effect was handed down yesterday afternoon by Judge J. Otis Humphrey in the United States district court. The arguments in the case were concluded shortly after 3 o'clock and Judge Humphrey at once commenced the delivery of his opinion. It was oral and the judge spoke for nearly an hour before giving the slightest indication of what the ultimate decision length in all its bearings offered all the essential facts which had been brought out and concluded as follows: "Under the law in this case the immunity pleas filed by the defendants will be sustained as to the individuals, and denied as to the corporations, the artificial persons, and the government will be satisfied as to the government as far as the corporations are concerned, and against the government as far as the individuals are concerned." The individuals who go free under the decision are: J. Ogden Armour, Edward Morris, Charles W. Armour, Ira N. Morris, Louis F. Swift, Ed Wardud Caddy, Arthur Mecker, T. J. Connors, P. A. Valentine, A. r. Veeder, Arthur F. Evans, L. A. Carlton, Robert McManus, D. E. Hartwell. The corporations which must stand trial are: Armour Packing company, Armour & Co, Cudahy Packing company, Fairbark Canning company, and Immediately following the dismissal of the jury, District Attorney Morrison raised the question of the data for the trial of the corporations. He asked that the case be set for the trial, and that it commence within two weeks. This was met with a storm of protest from the attorneys in the packers' cases, and would be unable to prepare for the case before the fall of the year, pleading the number of witnesses which it would be necessary to bring to Chicago, the strain of the present trial and various other reasons. After some discussion Judge Humphrey directed that the lawyers agree that the evidence would date not only him of their accession next week. It is claimed that the total number of witnesses in this trial when it begins will number at least 1,600. The attorneys for the packers declared yesterday when asking for a postponement of the trial, would number 1,800 and the government has already said that it would have one hundred or more. Moscow, March 21.—As the officials were closing the Mutual Credit Society's bank yesterday afternoon, twenty armed men surrounded the building, which is near the Bourie, and, covering the envelopes of the bank's plaques, they filled the place, getting away with $242,000, and made their escape in spite of the efforts of the bank guards to arrest them. ANOTHER MUTINY RUMORED Said That Sailors Have Risen at Sevastopol and Fired At City St. Petersburg, March 21—Most sensational reports are current tonight that the execution of former Lieutenant Schmidt, which has made a deep impression throughout Russia, has been followed by an extensive mutiny of sailors at Sevastopol, the massacre of their officers and firing by the fortress upon the city. The truth of the story is doubted, this being the "psychological moment" for the appearance of such wild protest against displeasure containing the story have been received, but if the report should prove to be true the absence of these might be accounted for by the imposition of a censorship. Indicated for Bribery. Chicago, Ill., March 20—Charles M Carpenter of Racine, Wis., Wisconsin agent of the Barber Asphalt company, was arrested here yesterday on a charge of bribery and was released on bonds of $1,000. Carpenter is charged with the bribery of an alderman in Racine in 1901. According to the story told by Sheriff Tillman, the alderman received $40 from Carpenter. After giving bond, Carpenter said that he would return to Wisconsin without requisition. Des Moines, March 20—Charles M. Carpenter is the agent through whose in fluence asphalt was introduced in Des Moines. Supervisors May Get Salary. Des Moines, March 21—A bill to provide for the payment of a salary of $1,200 to the supervisors was discussed at the meeting of the Polls county board Monday. It will be presented to the commission in the legislature. The bill was drawn up by the recent convention of county supervisors. Ouray, Colo., March 30—Six hundred miners employed in the various mines within a radius of twenty miles from Ouray have been cut off from all communication with the outside by the snowwolves. It is feared as many as twenty miners have lost their lives in the slides, but the exact number will not be known for days. As many as twenty-five mines are completely isolated. The damages may reach $1,000,000. At the Camp Bird mine, which is four miles from the Camp Bird mill, a snowslide late Sunday evening completely isolated fifty or more miners employed there, and as the provision house was carried away it is certain that they are in urgent need of food. A party of two hundred miners started to their rescue yesterday morning. The body of Wm. J. Cressay, the Englishman who lost his life in the slide at the Camp Bird mill, has been recovered. It is said there is sixty feet of snow at the high tower of the tranway of the Camp Bird, and the snow is very deep all along the route of the tranway. In the Imogene Basin the snow is from 100 feet to 300 feet deep. This will prevent work on the reconstruction of the tranway for several weeks, as—nothing can be done in the deep snow. Machinery for rebuilding the mill and material for the buildings cannot be taken up during the present condition of the road, which will also delay the work of reconstruction. The first movement at Camp Bird probably will be to repair the power lines, which are all out. This will require several hours to be no output from the mine until the mill is rebuilt and in running order. Denver, Colo., March 20.—By the loss of fourteen lives in a snowslide near Silverton yesterday the death roll resulting from the great storm of the past week in the San Juan area has been increased to at least seventeen. At Silverton, at the Camp Bird mine, a few miles from Ouray, and at Coal Basin on the western slope, hundreds of miners, their wives and their children are facing starvation. Mining equipment mated to be worth $1,000,000 have been swept to destruction in deep gulches. The cattle on a thousand hills are reduced to skin and bone. On Cambus pass, the highest point on the narrow gauge from Point Pleasant, the foothills of friendly passengers is marooned, dependent for warmth on a meager supply of coal in the engine tender and for food on what hardy mountainers can bring them with snow shoes. The parachute, parachute and telephone, and telegram communication is interrupted at least half of the state. Ouray, Colo. March 20.—All the employees of the Camp Bird mine and mills who took refuge in the tunnel to escape snowslides have reached over the mountain on snowshoes. Ouray, Colo., March 21. —Fire broke out early yesterday in the ruins of the Camp Bird mill, which was wrecked on Sunday by a snowslide, completing the destruction of the plant. The plant was valued at $500,000 by Thomas F. Walsh, who at that time owned the Camp Bird mine, which he subsequently sold to an English company. Denver Colo., March 21. —Owing to the fear of snowslides all mines in the area have been closed and 3,000 miners have died to Silverton for safety. Sixteen men have been crushed or suffocated to death by the avalanches in that district in the last three days. The property loss is now estimated at $500,000. The railroad between Silverton and Durango is blocked and Silverton is now facing a famine. A train has been four days on the road reached Crested Butte, the terminus of the banana line, the gateway to Grosse Pointe, the foot from Gunston last night. All snowbound passengers, it is said, have been rescued without unusual hardships. Travel on the main line of the state has not been interrupted. Mexico City, City 21.—Nineteen persons perished in a terrific norther which swept the coast of Vera Cruz yesterday. Two of the storm victims were pleasure seekers from the city, and one from J. S. Stratmatter, president of the American club and Francisco Pena, a member of a prominent family here. The other seventen were fisherman. J. C. Bush, C. H. Bush and R. Barkly, who were in a boat with Stratmatter and Pena, were rescued. It is not known how many lost the loss of life. As yet no reports have been made of vessels lost. RESIGNATION OR St. Petersburg, March 20.—It is rumored in official circles that at a session of the council of the empire yesterday Premier Wilte tendered his resignation and suggested that Privy Councilor Kokovos, former minister of finance, be appointed as his successor. The reason Count Wilte gave for his resignation was that he is seriously ill in heart disease, having had an attack on Sunday. If his resignation is accepted by Emperor Nicholas, Count Wilte intends to leave Russia and have the disease treated. Smoking Car for Women. London, March 22.—The first smoking car ever reserved for women in Great Britain left in the Carminus yunnanus liver. The car above a label reading: "Ladies" smoking.

An Irishman had caught a big pile. Noting a lump in its stomach, he cut it open. "As I cut it open there was a mighty rush and a happing of wings," said he, "and away flow a wild duck; and, begorra, when I looked inside, there was a nest with four eggs, and she had seen after sitting on that nest." Secretary Root was discussing his proposed visit to Brazil to attend the Pan-American Conference. He was undecided whether to go on a commercial steamer or an American warship. He was told that Secretary Taft, who weighs nearly three hundred pounds, made his last trip to Panama on board the cruiser Columbia. He was briefed on the abridgment of the counsel. "I wonder what the Columbia would have done if Taft had not been aboard," said Mr. Root. This story was told in the Senate choke room approphes of the speech of Senator Fatterson, supposed to be a Democrat, in which he eulogized all of President Roosevelt's policies: a local census enumerator visited the senator's home in Denver, and was received by the negro butler. After the usual questions, he asked: "What is the senator's politics?" or "Do Lawd's sake the senator's dune," answered the darky; "do senator aint' been home since breakfast time." The Chinese minister at Washington tells this deg story: There was a Chinese who had three dogs. When he came home one evening he found them asleep on his couch of teakwood and marble. He whipped them and drove them forth. The next night, when he came home, the dogs were lying on the floor. But he had to hand on the dogs, and found it hand from their bodies. Therefore he gave them another whipling. The third night, returning earlier than usual, he found the dogs sitting before the couch, blowing on it to cool it. Ex-Senator Billy Mason, of Chicago, had instructions to he careful how he spoke of Democracy in Missouri, but he was allowed to give Grover Cleveland hall Columbia. So his speeches at some stage included remarks about like this: "Fellow-citizens, I wouldn't for the world say anything unkind about Grover Cleveland's personal appearance. You know I couldn't tell the same people he claimed to see a relationship resemblance between his features and figure and mine. Whether that be true or not, my fellow-citizens, I want to assure you of one thing; I never had to back up to a door to knock." Kubelik, the noted violinist, was once playing by request before the inmates of an insane asylum, the superintendent of which believed that music was a fine medicine for unbalanced minds. He played a brilliant and well played piece of the cheerful character wanted. As he finished, a very pretty young woman arose and beckoned to him. He thought, artist like, that she wanted an encore, and so told to the doctor: "Ask her what he wants. Once she was about and was about to question her, when she exclaimed: "To think of the likes of me being in here and he being at large in the world!" The French Baron Rothschild once had in his service a valet named Alphonse—first class, but an acknowledgment "red." This valet obtained permission once a week to attend the meetings of his Socialist lodge. Suddenly the baron noticed that Alphonse no longer desired this off night, and, inquiring into the cause, was informed that the valet's late Socialist colleagues had worked out a calculation that if all the wealth of France were divided equally per capita each individual would be the possessor of two thousand francs. "Monstere," said Alphonse, with dignity, "I resigned. I have five thousand francs!" A little lady of Detroit, Mamie Thompson, aged seven years, having been helped twice to everything on the table, slid from her chair to the floor with a sigh when the coffee was brought in. "There, no need," she mamia said, "you have eaten that you feel uncomfortable." "No!" replied Mamia quickly, with a loss of her little head, "I only just feel nice and smooth."

The chivalry of Europe in, in great measure, a product of the Barcena chivalry which entered Europe in two streams flowing through Constantinople and through Spain. Truckland War Expenses.

Teaches Parrots by Phonograph. Mrs. J. Hope of Philadelphia charges a phonograph with the word of praises she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine. The bird learns to fly, and tries to outdo the brazen throated trumpet, so that with no expenditure of human strength, and in shorter time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another. Horses In Shrimp Fishing. Horses play an important role in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beaten fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. The horses frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of second rate meat after long staying in cold storage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put audens to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat Thawing must take place first. Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words, "Cense to do Evil—Learn to do Well," chiselled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words removed.
