Kenr---NenrIy IOOO People IN UIstfess'
The Ohio commission appointed by Gov.
Mckinley to make an official investigation
of the restitution of the miners in the
Hooking Valley and Sunday Creek Valley
has learned that the miners last year earned
only from S75 to 1925 each, largely be-
cause of the great national strike, while by
working regularly they could earn from 81
to SO each per day. 1t is also stated that
of the 10000 or $1,000 miners in the two
valleys, fully one-third representing, with
their families, nearly $1,000 persons, are
in greater or less distress. The miners
are almost unit in asserting that there
are at least fifty per cent too many miners,
and many of them are making preparations
to locate on farms.

The CoIonel's cOoInes. In an Emer-

A gossper in the Washington Post tells
a story on Colonel William h. Morrison.
The colonel believes thoroughly in the
efficacy of discipline. He has spent a large
part of his eventful ca ceer in hotels, and
one OF his theories has always been that
the mind can be so trained that the biggest
sort of a hotel fire is powerless to sidetrack
the reasoning faculties on occasions when
presence of mind is needed. lie impressed
his theory very strongly upon Mrs. Morri-
son by conjuring up a variety of critical
eXigencies and instructing her how TO act
in given cases. Fate would have it that
the colonel should be put to the test. He
and his wife were aroused from their SUM
bers one night by an alarm OF fire. The
hotel in which they had their rooms was
afire and great confusion and tumult en-
sued among the guests.
Nov is the time to put into practice
what have always preached to you, my
dear" said the colonel. Don't get eX-
cited. Put on all your indispensable APP
parel and take your time. Don't lose your
head. Just watch me-" He Gained Mrs.
Morrson's anxiety, handed her the various
articles necessary to her toilet, put on his
collar and cuffs, took his watch from under
his pillow and placed it in his vest pocket,
put on his hat, packed a valise of valuables
and, taking his cane, walked with Mrs
Morrison out of the burning building inc
the street. "\ my dear" he said, wher
they were s...e, don't you see what q
| grand thing it is to keep cool and act witt
deliberate purpose in an emergency like
| this? Here you are completely dressed, as
though you were going out for walk, anC
over yonder are several ladies in complete
dshabille." Just then Mrs. Morrison TO
the first time glanced at her husband
"You are right, William" she said, SIT i
a grand thing TO keep cool and act deliber
ately, but if had been you l would hav,
stayed in the room long enough to put OF
my trousers"

ed upon by committees of their late en-
ployes who rendered the employers the
same terms upon which Taylor & Son had
brought about an adjustment of the diff
ficulties.

cision to return to work if the manufac-
turers agreed to put the advance scale into
effect on Sept. 16 1t was stated this after
noon that Samuel White and Thomas
Boggs, large manufacturers, have signed
the advance scale to take effect Sept. 16
The strikers announce that several other

ditionally, agreeing to pay the advance
on the 18th proximo in case certain man
ufacturers do likewise.

Lawrence street, In front OF the hotel.
shows the same effect OF the explosion.
An estimate Of the financial loss is diff
cult as the insurance papers were lost in
the fire. but the loss will hardly exceed
$4,000. The hotel was worth about $4,000
and furnishings $4,000. Everything is de-
stroyed. The building was a 5-story one,
erected in 1855 by Mr.. Gumry. The Nc
Mann block. which adioins the hotel. was
also heavily damaged. 1t was occupied as
a furniture store by the A. Lilyblade Furn-
iture Company. and was damaged $4,000.
The Clayton block, directly across Law
renee street, was also damaged about
$500.
The boiler head which wrought so much
terrible destruction TO life and property,
after crashing through the rear wall,
crossed ten foot alley and struck a
brick barn with sufficient force to de-
stroy IL.
Late tonight many kilograms came TO
police headquarters fsom New York. San
Francisco. Chicago and other points. in
quiring about people registered at hotels
in Denver.
Ex-Gov. Routt said to-day: in my opin-
ion, the explosion was caused by dyna-
mite instead OF the boiler. / think it was
done to XIII Mr.. Gumry. You know he Is
superintendent of construction at the cap
itol building and lately discharged num-
ber of men. These men have been heard
to threaten his life. / do not think a
boiler explosion would have wrecked the
building IN the manner It did"
Ex-Gov. Routt is correct In his state
ment regarding the discharge. but his sus-
pieions are not given credence by the au-
thorities.
