THE RED BANDANA


 We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of 8 manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago. Call and examine stock.

A MINE ON FIRE.
SCENES OF TERROR ABOUT THE CAL
UMET AND HECLA.
Eight Miners in the shafts Below the
Flamcs--I;ut Little Hope of their Es-
capc--Supposed to be incendiary
mo Clue of the Criminals,

1sHPEMNG, Mich, Nov. 30.-Fire was
discovered lato las, night on the 10Th level
Of No. 3 shaft Of the Calumet and Hccla
mine at Red Jacket. Tho flames arc spread
ing and it will be necessary TO close down
the mine and seal all the shafts TO prevent
fresh Dir reaching the flames. Either seven
or eight miners are below the flames and
cannot he rescued This is the third fire in
as many years and there is no doubt it IS
incendiary. The company are making the
most desperate Efforts to control the flames
and try to rescue the miners but it looks as
if the case was hopeless. The men are all
married but two and all but one are Cor
nish.
The scene about the mine is heartrending.
The families of the men are Of course cog
infant of the extreme likelihood that the
men will never come cut alive and to their
grief and lamentaton is added the most fran
tic confusion on the part of all except the
trained employees Of the company.
DETROIT, Nov. 30.--.A special from Calu.
met SAYS the fire will not affect the product
of the mine materially and it will be kept
up to the limit imposed by the French syndi-
cate.
Nothing is knowing of the whereabouts Of
the eight men missing. They were working
100 feet deeper in the main engine shaft and
il is supposed smelling the smoke they tried
to escape and were smothered Over 100 were
in this portion of the mine at the time, but
escaped. An immense volume of smoke is is
suing from the shaft. The fire will not pre-
vent work al the south neck and that part
Of the mine is now in shape to employ all the
miners and the product can be kept up to
The syndicate limits.
Smoke is now G p. n.y. issuing from sev
eral shafts, which are being covered with
timbcrs and earth. The fire is every way
much worse than that of last year and is
! liable to burn for months. 1t must burn
I itself out unless it can be Rooded which IS
hardly nrohabe.
