Wyoming is feeling the effect of the
coal miners strike in Colorado. Yes
terday afternoon a special train passed
through Laramie carrying coal from
Rock Springs to Denver to relieve the
strained situation there. 1t was run
on rush orders and made a quick trip.
. Unless there is a speedy settlement OF
the strike this shipment of coal is like
ly to be followed by other shipments
from Rock Springs.
The strike appears now to be spread
ing to the southern Colorado coal
fields and it SEEM certain that
the miners in the Trinidad coal district
will so out On a sympathetic strike.
The situation, as viewed by the citi-
zens in general, is alarming, and ev-
cry miner coming to Trinidad is taken
in hand by business men, and the dis
I; .rous results of the strike to both
miners and citizens is explained to him
with a view to discourage the miners
Ill tdhilS any ldSu SlepS.
The invitation extended to the rep
%resentatives of the United Mine Work
ers' Union of America, to meet the
members of the chamber of commerce
of Trinidad in a friendly review of the
situation, has not been accepted, and
probably will not be, as one of the Or
ganizers, William Howells, has depart
ed from Trinidad, and left last night
for Indianapolis, Ind, to attend the
annual meeting of the United Mine
Workers of America. Before he left
he stated to a correspondent that he
had been received with quiet enthusi-
asm by the miners of the Trinidad dis
trict, and that meetings would be held
Saturday night and Sunday in the diff
ferent camps, with a view of organiz-
ing the miners. 81
Four-Fifths Will Go Out.
Mr.. Howells stated that he thought
the miners, or at least four-fifths8of
them, would go IL the first of the
week. There has been no grievance
between the miners and operators in
this district. but these union represen.
t~atives, Messrs. Howells and Gehr, are
preaching the old ''pluck-me-store"
policy to them, and if the agitation is
kept up, the miners will imagine they
have a grievance, whether they have
CT not. The small operators, of whom
there are several, do not seem to be
annoyed by the agitators, for they sup
Fly only local trade, and have in their
employ but a small number OF men, and
their places could easily be filed by
new hands if they decided to stop
work.
John H. Gehr spent yesterday among
the miners at Eagle, but it is not
thought he met with much success in
organizing them. Everything now de-
ponds upon the action of the miners
in the next twenty-four hours.
Number of Miners.
The number of miners employed in
the mines of Eagle, Sopris, Starkville,
Hastings and Forbes is about $500. The
prevailing nationality is Italian. They
are sym%pathizers with the northern
coal miners, and were not, as has been
reported, driven out Of the northern
fields. These miners have no organiza.
ton and If the agitators succeed in
their work of organizing the miners the
following mines will be closed: Eagle,
employing 400 men; Starkville, 600
men; Sopris, 900 men; Hastings, 600
men.

Its Dimensions.

The dimensions of the structure will
be 24xS0 feet. 1t will be one story in
height with a basement for storage pur-
poses. In the building now occupied
as a p%ostofice there are no convenience
es Of this character, and the stairway
leading into the basement is filed with
the dusty records that the p~ostoffice de-
partment requires shall be preserved.
These will be properly kept in the new
building so that they can be referred
to readily when necessary.
The building will lbe of stone and
brick, with a glass front and a glass
back, so that there may be plenty of
light. The arrangement of the new
boxes will be left to the judgment of
BeltZ. One lev feature
will be a private office for the posrmas-
ter where he may be alone when he
reeds to be for any reason. The build
ing will be heated by steam or hot air,
and will be made comfortable in every
way not only for the working force of
the %postofice but for the public. In
short the new postoffice will be up to
date, convenient and attractive and
will be a credit to the town.

VICTORIA IS DYING
AGED RULER OF GREAT BRITAIN
CAN LIVE BUT A FEW
HOURS LONGER.
The Nation Realizes That the End is
borne House No Longer Attempt
Conditional Long and Honorable
Reign.

The reports concerning the condi-
ton of Queen Victoria were, at the
hour of going to press, that the aged
ruler Of the British Empire was still
alive but sinking rapidly. 1t seems
now to be a question of only a few
hours till she will have passed away.

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan. 80 Mid
Iight.-A local rumor, purveyed By Os-
borne house employees, declares that
the queen cannot live until Monday,
but this receives no official confrma-
ton, though it is admitted hat it is
scarcely even likely that the queen, if
she recover at all, will regain the use
of those vigorous faculties which lave
distinguished her among the women of
all time.
Gathered at the bedside are the
prince and princess of Wales. Princess
Louise and other members Of the roy
al family, while Mr.. Richie, the secre-
tary of state for home affairs. officially
represents the cabinet. The arrival of
Emperor William and other members
of the royal family is a~nxiously await
ed.
For three days the queen has been
kept strictly to herself. The last time
she drove out in Cowes the rain beat
down heavily upon her.
Work of Age and Worry.
Even the natives who have grown to
look upon her majesty as an ordinary
body have noticed that she looked
more delicate and shrunken than ever
"A mere shadow of her former self,
yet with feminine persistence the
queen forbade those around her to say
that she was i'll. The Queen Victorian
tradition and etiquette decree that she
is i'll, and so with logged de-
termination she fought of the ravages
that worry over the Boer war, the
deaths in her own family and her in
creasing years have brought upon her.
But against the ruthless hand of pature
of the great empire proved futile, and
with a pitiful realization of the irevi-
table she shut herself off from her en-
tourage. For two nights she dined
alone and never stirred from the 0Iart-
ments she occupied at Osborne.
Humbly. for this woman ruled her
court with no uncertain hand. her
court officials implored her to seek
medical advice. These messages she
steadfastly ignored, and, though to-
night her condition is admitted to be
most serious, there are only in attend
ance Drs. Powell and Reid. Doubtless
the prince of Wales will tomorrow Sc
cure additional medical talent.
Her majesty lies helpless and almost
speeches. in her bed in Osborne
house, surrounded by every comfort.
Fruits, flowers, ice and all the access
series OF modern medicine are at hand.

 Salem

Columbus. Ga, Oct. 7.-(Special.)-A tel snhone me, sage frcm Salem, Ala, brings inc news of a tragedy which occurred at that place this morning. About o clock Brady Jones and J. T.

Jones was young 1arm- CT of good family and was held III tne highest esteem by all of his neighbors. CorIey had been living about Salem Tor
 1t seems that Corley and Jones had been at outs for about year over piece of land Jones had bought from Cor iey's sister, Mrs. Taylor. Jones had been overseer on Mrs. Taylor's place up 70 q year ago. Jones had Corley arrested at one time on account of tkeir troubles Mrs. Taylor, Corley's sister, now lives on on the outskirts of Phenix City. Jones was a brother to Mrs. W. T. Ray and Mrs. J. c.
