Severed men were badly bruised and
one coiored man was taken out with a
broken neck, their wounds Indicating
that they had thrown themselves
against the posts and sides OF the gang
way in their desperate endeavor to
escape, but the majority of the bodies
bear no marks at a J not even a scratch,
and their features were in quiet repose,
indicating that their death had been a
speedy and painless one.
About half the miners were negroes,
having been brought from the east four
years ago to replace the strikers. The
mine is owned by the Oregon Improve
ment Company and produces the best
coal in the state of Washington. The
damage to the mine is not large.

some in the breasts above the level aud
others along the gangway. AS soon as
it was known that there was a fire
many of the men in the sangways
rushed back TO notify the miners fur

reached the main shaft. 1t is certain
that all the men i'll the breasts of the /

WHAT IT HAS DONE.
The Effect of Natural Filtration Upon
lawrence's Water Supply.

Through the courtesy OF City Engineer
Shedd, copy OF the 18th annual report OF
the Lawrence water poard has been re-
ceived from which interesting and valu-
able information Is obtainable, particular
ly in regard to the results OF the natural
filtration system which was
inspected yesterday by the
mayor, members OF the commission and
special committees Of the City Council.
In order that an intelligent idea may be
obtained of tho condition of the filtered
water, the following communication from
Engineer Hiram F. Mills to President
Mccormack OF the board will be read with
much interest:
The filter bed built by the city OF Law
renee under the advice and In accordance
with plans of the State Board of Health
has been steadily purifying the water
supply of the city since the twentieth Of
September.
When commencing to construct the
filter you were advised that "with such a
hitter properly managed the experiments
OF the Board OF Health indicate that at
least ninety-eight per cent. OF all the bac-
terra OF the river water will, under all cir
cumstances, be removed"
During the past two months the filter
has been removing this percentage of all
OF the bacteria OF the river water applied
to It, but this is not all that IL accom-
BtAohN7s ~ AthiONtc ~ tdIkt DdTt OI
the organic matter of the river water and
converts IL into mineral matter, thus re-
moving from the water the food material
upon which the bacteria live, and the
result is that the two per cent. OF bacteria
remaining after the water has passed
through the filter find their conditions
OF life so unfayofable that they decrease
as the water goes through the reservoir
and through the distributing pipes until
when the water reaches he citizens there
remains but one hall Of per cent. of the
number OF bacteria in the river water
that is 09h per cent. OF all have been re-
moved.
The experiments OF the board indicate
that the small number remaining are OF a
few haroy kinds that are not known to
be in any way injurious 10 health and
leave the strong probability that all dis
ease producing germs have been removed.
IL will be satisfactory to the citizens to
know that while for the past five years
the number OF deaths from typhoid fever
in Lawrence have averaged five for the
month OF October and five for the mont n
OF November, the number OF deaths this
year have been only one for each OF these
months.

filter, il Is found that that the amount

Years ago, when the National League
had an abiding place In this city, the
baseball fever spread nearly everywhere.

the various lodges OF Odd Fellows thought
they could come out of a contest in

shape, and Hope, Canonicus, Franklin,

Tor the struggle. Ii was battle royal
and at the end OF the season Good Sa-
maritan led the league followed by Canon

lodges. Desultory efforts have been
made to keep the scheme going
and last year there was revival. Swarts
and What Cheer lodges had tilt with
better OF it. Since this season opened
there has been considerable base
ball talk, and three or four lodges have
organized teams. Yesterday the struggle
for general superiority began: What
Cheer Lodge never for moment believed
that Swarts could do 'em and the young
men have been anxious TO get at the grave
diggers" to see with what cheerfulness
they could scalp them. Both teams were
out in full strength on Lincoln Field
at o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
base ball suits made the surroundings
look quite professional like. That was
about all the professionalism shown, how
ever. The grand stand held two sizable
groups OF sympathizers and goodly
number of the fair sex graced the
scene. The players best girls
were there and that fact insured deter
mined play with no monkeying. What
Cheers delegation outnumbercd their
rivals, consequently the" North Enders
made the most noise. Be-
sides they had the best chance,
for their side was winning. 1t was even
money when the row began but those
with a desire to put up "stuff" on
the result, hedged when What Cheers
battery got down to work. The
pitching and catching defeated
Swarts Lodge for otherwise the
two teams were evenly matched, barring
Ellis strong batting. This player hit the
ball like a Lacquer. The battle began
shortly after o'clock and lasted until
1880 o'clock. Everything considered, it
was good game for amateurs. 1t was
evident from the earnestness of the play,
the batting, base running and coaching
that there was no fooling about the busi-
ness. The following is the score accord
ing to What Cheers official scorer:
