FOUR
Colorado Miners Meet Most
Horrible Death in a
Tunnel.
THE VENTILATION WAS POOR.
Strenuous Efforts Made to
Rescue the Men of No
Avail.

PITKIN, Colo, June 9. News
reached here that four men were suffo-
Gated in the Alpine tunnel Saturday
afternoon. An engine had run into
the tunnel, which is 1,776 feet long,
with crew Of several men, to siphon
out an accumulation of water held in
by dirt cave. The ventilation of the
tunnel is poor and the smoke of gas
from the engine made the air SO sitting
that the men soon prepared to leave.
AS the engine was backing out a man
was discovered lying across the track
and the engineer reversed, and running
further into the tunnel, where all the
men were quickly
Overcome by Suffocation.
Strenuous efforts were made to rescue
the men, but it was impossible, as the
air within had become so impregnated
with gas and smoke that for several
hours no one could enter. The men
were: M. w. Flavin, uperintendent,
married; n. Martinez, engineer, mar
ried; Michael Burns, fireman, married;
Oscar Camman. miner, single. Teams
were sent to the tunnel to convey the
remains to this place. A special train
from Gunnison carrying friends and
relatives OF the victims went to the
tunnel to meet the teams conveying
the remains Of those suffocated.

r1UNICIPAL LIGHTING.
A Good Plant Will Cost 100000 or
More,

w. n. Stewart, of the Siemens &
Halske Electric Co., states that a
plant sufficient to furnish light for the
streets of this city will cost not less
than $4,000, and to be a good one
ought to cost over $4,000. He bases
his estimates on slow speed machin-
cry, as he says that:the cheaper high
speed machinery will quickly wear
out and have to be replaced and is
much more expensive in the end. He
laughs at the idea of putting in a
plant of any value for $4,000. He says
that the city will find that it is max
ing a great mistake if it puts in a
municipal plant, as it will cost more
to operate than private company
would charge. He explains the low
figures given by some other cities by
saying that they charged part of the
cost to water works, street, etc.
Mr.. Stewart states that his COM
pany had three engineers in Mankato
last winter, quietly at work, and
that their report was favorable. His
company does not jump into any
thing without knowing what it is do
ing. 1t has had Mankato under con-
sideration for some time.

REV. SCOTS RESIGNATION.
A Story That 1t Was Caused by a
Kiss.

Rev. Walter Scott, pastor of the M.
E. church in this place has resigned,
and his resignation has been accepted
by the church officials. He will rep
resent the Gebbie Publishing Co., of
Philadelphia, art and high class litera-
ture. The people here are sorry that
Mr.. Scott will leave US. Since his
coming among US he has won for him
self and family many friends. He is
a gentleman of ability and has con-
Quoted himself in Christian manner.
His family will we understand re-
main here for the present.-Lake Crys-
tai Union.
An interesting story is afioat at
Lake Crystal regarding the cause of
this resignation, and it has already
been published to the following effect:
Rev. Scott was formerly pastor of
the church at Springfield, Mimi, and
it is said that one evening while he
was romping with his wife and the
hired girl he accidentally kissed her
on the forehead, as he himself is said
to have stated, his wife bearing him
out in the statement. He left Spring
field shortly after and located at Lake
Crystal, succeeding Rev. Foot in the
M. E. church.
One of the Springfield ''sistern"
looked on the kissing in a serious
light and wrote to the members of the
Lake Crystal church, who referred
the matter to Presiding Elder Stat
ford. A meeting was held, and Mr..
Scott was asked to explain the mat.
ter, which he is said to have done as
above stated. Mr.. Scott is said to
have declared that the mat
ter was too small to at
tract much attention. He was
asked to make public apology, so the
story goes, but refused to compromise
himself by an admission of guilt i'm
piled in an apology. He was conse-
quently ''silenced," which means that
his resignation was requested and was
handed in and accepted The public
sentiment at Lake Crystal seems to be
in his favor so far as we are able to
learn.

HEAD CAMP MEETING M. w. A.

At the BIENNIAL meeting of the Head
Camp of the Modern Woodmen of
America, held at Madison, Wis, last
week, B. d. Smith, of this city, was
elected Head Adviser of the order.
This office ranks second in the order,
and in case of vacancy in the office
of Head Counsel, the Head Adviser is
the constitutional successor. Mr..
Lmith returned last night. The Sc
lection is an eminently fitting one.
The reports of the head officers show
that the Woodmen now have, in the
ten northwestern states to which its
jurisdiction has heretofore been
limited, 5000 camps, with total
membership of 1000, growth of
more than 1000 comps and 60, 900 mem
bers during the last biennial term.
The next Head Camp will be held
at Dubuque, Iowa, in June, 1897.
At the Madison meeting the state
of Ohio and Indiana were added to
the Jurisdiction.
The proposition to create reserve
fund was defeated.
Head Counsel Northcott and Head
Clerk Halves were unanimously
elected.
Minnesota was further honored by
the reelection of Head Physician DR..
G. A. McCollom, of Minneapolis, and
Head Escort w. H, Dawson, of Stay
ton. MINI.

Good Health

and good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
Notifications of good health are brok-
en- down and the systemI is liable to
attacks of disease. 1t is in such cases
that the medicinal powers of Hoods
Sarsaparilla are clearly shown. Thous-
ands who have taken Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla testify to it's great merits as a
purifier of the blood, it's powers to re-
store and sharpen the appetite and
promote healthy action of the diges-
tive organs. Thus it is not what we
say but what Hoods Sarsaparilla does
that tells the story and constitutes
the strongest recommendation that
can be urged for any medicine. Why
not take Hoods Sarsaparilla now?

His Mothers Maiden Name.

Dennis and John Hanks have always
insisted that Lincoln's mother was not
Hanks, but Sparrow. Both of them
wrote to me that such was the fact.
Their object in insisting on this is appar-
ent when it is shown that Nancy Hanks
was the daughter of Lucy Hanks, who
afterward married Henry Sparrow. 1t
will be observed that Mr.. Lincoln
claimed his mother was Hanks.
