BEFORE CHRIST.
A Monument to the Memory Of the Hero Of
Germany.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, September "a.
In the little town OF New Ulm, this
state, and which is credited with a
population OF 1000, there will be ded-
icated, to. morrow, monument which
would do credit to the largest city In
the country. II has been erected TO the
memory OF Hermann, known to his
tory as the "hero OF Germany" born
sixteen years before Christ, and who
was called Arminios by the Greek
writers, and Arminius by the Romans.
Indignant at the oppression OF his
countrymen, he obtained knighthood
and citizenship at Rome, by false pre-
tences induced the Roman army to ad-
vance beyond the Ryan, and there led
them into battle which resulted In a
decisive defeat. He was assassinated
Dy his own relatives in his thirty
seventh year, as result OF a popular
impression that he was aiming at be-
coming a dictator.
The dedication will be under the aus
pices of the national supreme ledge.
which has been In session here since
Tuesday. In addition to the citizens
and members of the supreme body,
10000 German citizens from this and
surrounding states will witness the ex-
ercises.

NpEAT TIDAL

Three Small Children Found Cres

Return Home.
A LONG LIST OF MlSHAPS

MARION, Ills, September 24.-An
explosion occurred at the Williamson
county coal company's mine az Z
O'Clock, this morning. Three men are
dead. and thirteen wounded have been
taken out. Six others are missing and
are undoubtedly killed, as the mine is
on fire and they cannot be rescued.
Several Of the wounded are so severely
crushed that they cannot recover.
The mine is located four miles north
of here, md there is an unusually large
amount of natural gas in the mine,
which, when properly controlled, lights
parts of 1t. The explosion was,
no doubt, caused by this gas TAX
ing fire from the miners lamps
as they descended, this morning The
loss Of life was not so heavy owing to
the fact that most of them were Ameri-
can miners and more than half OF the
force we're to take holiday, fo.day, to-
attend the county fair Most of the
men killed and wounded are Russians,
but it is impossible to get their names
at this time. SOS
The force Of the explosion was very
heavy, and blew the mules over 200
yards along the main entry and into
the mining dump. at the bottom of the
shaft, which is l80 feet deep. One re.
port says that only four men are i'm
prisoned, while another one puts 1T at
eleven.
Great blame is lai ! against the man.
ayers of the mine for not adopting
safer means Of controlling the gas, and
only short time since, the state in
spector Of mines, examined the mine
and the managers were ordered to
place the gas under better control or
the mine would be closed, because of
its great risk for the men.

this is an "off year" politically. that

A POPULAR MOVE.
The Commander.in-chief of the q. A., r.
Wants No Salary.

HARRISBURG, Pa, september "a
The recently elected COMMANDMENTS
chief OF the grand army Of the repub-
lie, Gen j. p. S. Goblin, of Lebanon,
has made decidedly popular move at
the outset OF his administration in the
general order issued few days ago to
the effect that in the interest Of econ
omy, himself and employees would
erve without salary. For years, the
commander-in chief has drawn $4,000
annually from the exchequer OF the
order, the adjutant general similar
sum and the quartermaster general
$1,000 per annum. General Gobin's
order will thus effect considerable
saving IN the expenses of the national
council of administration, and it is
not regarded ss probable that future
administrations will go back to the
salary system.

the first time since the United States
supreme court decided that organiza.

tenance Of railroad rates were illegal,

recommend any of them, and the lines
will to-day be asked to choose for
themselves.
