SOME person, whose identity is
unknown, which is very fort
innate thing for him, thought it
would be funny to see the citizens,
appointed by Chief Gleason to
serve while the regular depart
ment was at the tournament, come
tearing up the street to the fire
hall at two O'Clock in the morning,
so he turned in the alarm at
Chapman street and SecoI d avenue
The citizens responded promptly
and were very much put@;out to
think they were disturbed by some
stiff who hadn't any better to do.
Now practical jokes are all right
in their place but this can hardly
be called such as the men appoint
by the chief are busy all day and
have something to do besides
prowl around all night. Suppos-
ing there had been another alarm
turned in how many would have
turned out, in time to be of any
service, in case there was a fire!
If the alarm had been turned dur
ing the day nothing would have
been thought of it as there are
always plenty to do all they can
to protect property. 1t is still a
good thing for the preparatory
that his identity remains unknown
or he would have been pretty busy
for awhile. Several are suspected
and efforts are being made to get
at the bottom of the affair. The
chances are that something will
drop as soon as the proper source
of the false alarm is secured.

MOERSCH REPORT.
Inspector Moersch Makes Report on the
Mines in Minnesota

Inspector Moersch Makes Report on the
Mines in Minnesota.
Inspector Moersch. of the state labor
bureau, has completed report on the
inspection of the mines in northern
Minnesota made during July. More
attention is given to the general con-
dition of the mines and the adjoining
communities. In all thirty-siX were
inspected and these employ 1928 men
Some are still producing pretty
heavily; one of them having made a
rec( rd of Ia, 600 tons in "a hours.
The report states that 10,059, 1893
tons of ore were shipped in 1900 from
Lake Superior ports, of which 1885,
355 tons was Minnesota output, an in
crease of LOOT, 469 tons over the prev
iOus year.
Seven new mines started up this
season and six suspended operations.
OF the 5000 men employed 40 per
cent are Firms, an equal percentage
are AustriaLs and Huns. and the re-
mainder belong to other nationalties.
Of all the foreigners working in the
mines, the Firms show the greatest
desire to become Americans and take

They are described as good workmen
and are thrifty. The ambition of the
Austrians and italians is to earn and
save up enough money to return to
the old country and live in ease.
Consequently they hudddle together
in groups and are not at all particular
about their sanitary surroundings.
CorniShmen are the mainstay of the
mine owners and are largely employed
as foremen, mine bosses and similar
positions.
Conditions in the range country
are adverse to permanent settlement
in most localities, especially the new
ones, so the number of the married
miners is comparatively small, The
unpleasant surroundings create a
restlessness in the men, which has
evolved the tramp miner. the greatest

have to contend. The tramp miner,
the habit some men have acquired of
assigning their pay in drlblets to
different people, and the practice OF
tile Austriaus OF observing every holt
day on their Calendar without giving
notice to The operators of their in
tentiOn or doing SO. have brought
about some StringeSt as to pay and
holidays, which would otherwise be
unnecessary. Employees are required
TO give ten days notice Of their in
tention to quit and demand their pay
between pay-days. The Austrians
have been Informed that only legal
holidays will be observed and that
they will no longer be allowed to shut
down the mine without notice. when
every they feel ike taking day off.
The Chandler mining company has
done what it could to make some of
the localities attractive near Ely. the
company improved long strip of
woodland running into Long lake.
They have converted this into a park
and equipped it with bath houses and
other cOnvenienceS. The company
maintains it for their employees. At
SOudan residences are built and sold
to employees on the installment plan.
He calls attention to the fact that
this state is practically without laws
regulating the operationg OF mines.
and that consequently every mine
operator does as he pleases. In some
places the cages run up the same shaft
with the ladder up and down which
the men go. When cages for carrying
the men in and out of the mine are
often without safety catches. The
men themselves have habit of tear.
| ing boards out of fences used to guard
dangerous places, and it is desired
that this be made d criminal offense.

The Debate Finally Pulled
off at TT. Scott
MRS. NATION VOTED WINNER
They will Tour Kansas Civ
ing Discussions
Mrs Nation Made the Rounds Of the
city Trying to Find Saloons but
Could not

Fort Scott, Kansas, May 19.-The
Carl Brown-Carrie Nation debate was
pulled off in this city this afternoon at
he opera house before large crowd.
Mrs. Nation arrived on the early
train. She attended the Congrega-
tional church in the morning and
afterwards took walk around the
city in search OF saloons. She was
unsuccessful in her search, as the sa-
looms have been closed for the past six
weeks. Browne was the first to speak
At the debate and went back into Bib
cal times in search OF evidence to sup
port one Of his usual talks. Mrs.
Nation made speech OF her peculiar
kind. AT the close OF Mrs. Nations
remarks, when those were asked to
rise who believed Browne the winner
of the debate, not person responded.
The debate was then awarded to Mrs.
Nation. An admission fee OF % cents
was charged at the door. The two an
nounced they will tour the state and
give discussions in all the principal
cities.
Mrs. Nation was one ofthe principa
speakers at q large mass meeting held
here tonight at Convention hall. The
meeting was the result OF II joint call
call by all the churches OF the city to
demand OF the authorities the enforce
ment Of the prohibitory law. Addresses
were madeIby representatives OF nearly
all demon nations denouncing the at
titude of the city council in advocat-
ing open saloons. The meeting was
sensational in the extreme, charges
being made against the city officials
for aiding and abetting the violation
Of law. The church people are united
in an effort for the suppression OF the
saloon and are in open conflict with
the officers OF the law. Both sides are
determined and il is war 70 the knife.

GIVEN A WIDE BERTH.
Few Tramps i'll the Sunhower State
Today.

Topeka, May 19.--Tramps are Civ
ing Kansas a wide berth now. There
are fewer OF them plying their trade in
the state at present than any period
during the past ten years. There are
two reasons. The first is that lab
orers are scarce and the tramps are
afraid they will be drafted" and put
to work. In some communities the
authorities have arrested tramps and
sentenced them to work-not on the
rock, but on the farm or in the fac
tory. II was case Of necessity in
such instances. The farmers and fac
tories had to have hands, and the
tramps we're forced into service. An
other reason for their scarcity is that
the railroads are enforcing the new
law prohibiting tramps from stealing
rides on trains. The legislature las
winter made it a misdemeanor to steal
ride on train, punishable by fines
or Imprisonment, or both. The train
men are clothed with authority TO
make arrests. In each depot in Kan
sas Is now posted in conspicuous
place placard containing the law.
The trainmen are using their author
ity and are making arrests right
along. The tramps who have. been
pinched under the new act and been
sentenced to work on farms have sent
the message along the line in code
form to their brethren headed this
way, notifying them what TO expect
