Montana Sapphires.

There are In Montana sapphires of
beauty and value, but they have never
been as systematically worked as have
been the sapphires of the orient. True.
they are light In color, but they have
more brilliancy than the Asian sap
phires and often exhibit dichorism, or
double color, under different lights.
The supposition that sapphire should
be dark blue Is possibly responsible for
the slowness of their acceptance in the
market. but as matter of fact sap
phires are not Of necessity blue; they
are green, yellow, purple. white. and
when they are red we call them rubies,

ten pages of Marcus Aurelius at a

are philosophers without doubt, but
they have a style that gives you a

A telegram was received on Satur-

are Cal. announcing the death at his
home OF Mrs. B r. Palmer, formerly
OF this city. Our older citizens will
remember with pleasure when the DR..
Palmer home which occupied the site
OF the Penerg ast's residence figured
largely in the social life of Sank
Centre. The genial doctor and his
wife were royal entertainers. Mrs.
Palmer was good musician herself
and a promoter of music in the city,
and at that tina Sank Centre was
famous for it's amateur musical talent.
DR.. Palmer died twenty years ago,
AND soon after his wife removed to
California, and for a number of years
she has been an invalid, making her
home with her sister, Mrs. Edward
Oakford, where she died on Friday.

He was in General Hayes regiment
during the civil war. General Hayes
knew him and his father well. and saw
In the dashing young cavalier the germ

Hayes watched over him with the
filial love, devotion and pride Of a

The war ended, Mckinley still re-
manned an object of hope, Of interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin-

and was elected. When Hayes was
president, Mckinley was in the house
of representatives. The major was a
frequent welcome visitor at the White
House. One day the president gave
Mckinley advice, which made McKin-
ley the foremost champion of pro-
tective tariff. President Hayes thus
spoke to the young representative:
"To achieve success and fame you
must pursue a special line. You must
not make speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
confine yourself to !. one particular
tAing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch of legislation and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject of tariff? Being subject that
will not be settled for years to come.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Sept. 49,
A terrific explosion of gas in the
Spring Gulch mine of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron coSnpany, located IS
miles from this place, caused the
death of six miners and the serious
injury of three others, besides much
damage to the tunnel in which the ex-
plesion occurred. AS soon as the ex-
plosion occurred a messenger was
sent to the Pocahontis mine, seven
miles away, to telephone here. for as
sistance. He stated that at the time
of the accident the entire force of 100
miners was in the mine and it was
thought that all had persisted. A later
messenger brought the information
that less than half an hour previous to
the time of the explosion all but few
of the employees had gone off duty,
thus preventing more serious calam-
ity. The explosion was caused by gas
becoming ignited by the blasts.
