TROUBLE BEGINS.
Mines are Closing Down in
Northern Colorado Today.

Denver, Dec. 3O.-As a result of the
order issued by the executive commit
tee of the miners unions of northern
Colorado. calling upon the men to de-
mand higher wages, or strike, the Rex
Coal Mining company has closed down
it's two mines at Louisville, throwing
between zoo and 300 men out of employ
ment.
The stand taken by the Rex compa-
ny will probably be followed by the
other companies operating in northern
Colorado, and all the miners in the
district will be thrown out of employ
ment.
Preparations are being made to call
a mass meeting for the purpose of Urg-
ing the executive committee to rescind
it's action. Many of the miners who
We're thrown out of employment by
the action of the Rex company claim
that the action of the executive com
mittee was unauthorized.

WIS. KALE'S BARN BURNS
He Loses Eight Horses and 9th
er Property, Amounting in
All to 81, 200.

Last night at 10 o'clock the large
barn at 526 Polk street in which were
kept nine horses and delivery wagons
of w. S. Eale the grocer, was discov-
cred to be on fire. 1t was burning in
several places and the dry wood fur
nished a quick fuel to the flames. The
flames lighted up the western part OF
the city and attracted a large crowd
When the fire department arrived the
harm was practically consumed. Only
the charred walls remained. while in
the center a large mass of hay and feed
made a fiery furnace.
When the barn took fire there were
nine horses in it. Seven of these were
burned to death, while one escaped
badly scOrched, and one was gotten out
unhurt. The injured horse will prob
ably die. All the delivery wagons were
destroyed. The building was owned by
7. r. Bowman & Company, and they
place the loss on the barn at $3.50
with insurance of $400.
Mr.. W. S. Kale places his loss at
$1,000. He says that the origin of the
fire is d mystery and that ne has no
reason to suspect incendiarsm.
The Swedish CongregatiO church,
which is across the alley from the Kale
barn, was with difficulty saved. Ow-
ing to the absence of wind the fire did
not spread, and a serious conf1agration
was avoided. Chief Wilmarth thinks
the barn was set on fire When dis
covered the barn was envelODed in
flames and this gives color to the the
Ory of oil being used to start a blaze
quickly. The structure was an OLD
one, having been built ten years ago.
It used 70 he occupied as a livery sta
bic, but for several months past Mr.
Kale has had charge OF it and all his
delivery teams and wagons We're kept
there.
The seven burned horses are beins
removed today.

a SURPLUS AT LAST.
Government Receipts for December
Exceed the Expen ditures.

Washington, Dec. 3O.-The forth
coming monthly statement of the gov
ernment receipts and expenditures
will show a material increase in the re
ceipts from both customs and internal
revenues.
Yesterdays income from customs
alone was $735.567, the highest figures
reached since the new tariff law went
into effect
Several times during the last few
weeks the customs revenues have ex-
ceeded $500, ,000 and, according to the
expectations of the treasury officials,
these figures will be fully maintained
for an indefinite period.
The receipts from customs this month
probably will exceed November by 81
500, 900 or SO, 600 900, which will leave a
surplus for the month
Altogether, the situation, so far as
revenue is concerned, is very crafty
ing to the treasury officials, who con-
fdently predict that, with the exception
OF January, when heavy interest pay
ments are due, there will be a surplus
for each remaining month of the pres
ent fiscal year.
