The new addition to the Phillips
burg mill gives the whole a greatly
improved appearance. The enterprise
Mr.. Chelf has displayed in keeping
pace with latest and best improved
facilities for flour manufacture merits
the, continued patronage of the peo-
pie Of this community.
Two small boys of this city make it
a point to bum their way on railroad
excursions, etc. Some day an accident
is likely to happen and some Phillips.
burg parents will have a boy or two
less to worry about, while the railroad
company will probably pay some fu-
neral expenses. Parents who neglect
their children need not expect the
sympathy of their neighhors when
misfortune overtakeS them as it sure
ly will sooner or later.
A good friend of the HERALD from

done on the first day can be Sabbath
breaking" OF course that precipi
tates sectarian question, and we do
not care to discuss that, but we all
gree that drunken carousal is bad

To Smith. Center.
A crowd of young men boarded No.
80 Monday noon and went down to
Smith Center to witness an exhibition
ball game between the Denver and
the Colorado Springs teams.
The train was somewhat late, but
the boys arrived there about the time
the game was called. The players
were professionals who, stand very
high in the Western League. so every
body naturally expected crack game.
They were, however, greatly disap-
pointed, as the players took matters
very easy, and simply gave an exhibit
ton game. They made some very fine
plays and gave very creditable exhi-
bition, but they did not play ball.
The only rivalry between the teams
seemed to be as to which could display
the slightest concern about how the
score stood. Probably not dozen
people on the grounds knew or cared
how the score stood at the close of the
game.
a large crowd was present to wit

DYNAMITE AND MINERS.
Long Immunity From Accident Re-
suits In Contempt of Danger.


suits In Contempt of Danger.
After a miner had handled dynamite
for eight or ten years without serious
mishap it is a good idea to put him to
doing something else about the works"
said a gentleman of this city who has
had great deal Of experience with high
explosives. The chances are hundred
to one that his long immunity from ac-
cident has given him such n contempt
for danger that he is an unconscious
menace to everybody on the premises.
He VIII do things that not only imperil
his own life, but the lives Of all his
comrades. To give you an illustra-
tion, once | had an old COTnishman at
work at mine in which l was inter
ested and had intrusted him with
general supervision Of all the blasting.
He had been handling dynamite for
twenty years or more and was justly
regarded as an expert. During that
entire period he had never had an acCi-
dent worth speaking of, and by de-
grees the care and vigilance that were
responsible for his excellent record had
worn away until he was beginning to
entertain the delusion, common to old
hands, that the danger Of the stuff was
very much exaggerated.
"One day l was passing through a
cut where some blasting had been go
ing on and noticed the old Cornishman
hammering a drill Into what seemed to
be a boring in the rock. l asked him
what he was doing, and he told me
coolly there was a cartridge in the hole
that had failed to explode and he was
Just knockin' out the tampin' to re-
prime It. | was Mortified, for at every
blow he was liable to explode the dyna-
mite, and | ordered him sternly to stop
and never repeat such a performance.
The proper method would have been to
have drilled a new hole near by and
exploded the first charge with a second
blast. He obeyed sullenly, grumbling
to himself, and less than a month after
ward was blown up while doing exact
ly the same thing. He lost his left arm
at the shoulder, his left eye and part Of
his left ear He also lost his contempt
for dynamite, and when he finally
emerged from the hospital l gave him
back his former job. | never had
more scrupulously careful employee
than he was from that time on. 1t
seems a brutal thing to say, but there
Is nothing that does an old dynamite
hand as much good as to get blown up

NEW YORK CROWDS.

WHY HIS Clock Was Slow.

which shows a deep knowledge of hu-
