STATE DAIRYMEN ON
THE CIRCUIT BILL.
They Pass Resolutions at Mcndovf
Convention Thanking the Wis
cOnsin congressman.

Mondovi, Wis, Feb. 16.-[Special.]-
The Wisconsin Dairymen's association,
before adjourning, adopted resolutions
thanking the eight congressman from this
state who voted for the Grout bill; also
Senators Spooner and Quarles for their
efforts to secure favorable action in the
Senate upon the bill now pending which
is demanded in the interest of honest
trade. The dalrymen of the state are OPP
posed to class legislation, they recognize
the fact that oleomargarine has rights
in the market when sold under it's own
name and color, they want no unfair adj
vantage of butter. But they ask Con
gress to use its taxing power to compel
Oleomargarine to stand upon its merits
as cheap and inferior substitute for but
ter and not cheat consumers by appear
ing in the markets as counterfeit.
Resolutions We're passed asking the
Legislature to increase the annual
appropriation of $2400 and hearth
ly endorsing the bill providing for
central building for the Col
lege of Agriculture for increased instruc-
ton in dairying and increased instruc-
ton and facilities in the care and man
agement of livestock; also that q law be
passed whereby the elements of agricul-
ture be taught in the common schools of
the state. The work of Dairy and Food
Commissioner Adams was endorsed and
it was suggested that he should be pro-
vided by law with authority to employ
at least two more inspectors.

JUSTICE HITS JURY SYSTEM.
Supreme Court Jurist Calls Plan a
Relic of Barbarian.

New Haven, Conn. Feb. 16.-Justice
David J. Brewer of the United States
Supreme court in his lecture on Duties
Of Citizenship said: "The present jury
system is little more than relic of semi
civilized systems. The juryman is treat
ed as criminal. He is watched by day
and locked up by night. l hope the day
will come when jurymen will be treated
as gentlemen and when conviction will be
secured by majority and not by a full
vote Of the jury. The juryman should
have as much home life as the judge and
be paid adequately"
In referring to the support of the laws
by citizens Justice Brewer, speaking Of
Mrs. Carrie Nation, said: whenever a
commonwealth enacts laws it is the duty
of the citizen to see that they are en-
forced. This is true all over the land,
Kansas not excepted. There is won
derful disposition to ignore the laws
against vice. If every man and woman
in Kansas had looked after the laws as
they should George Washington would
not be obliged to divide his Ratchet repu-
tation with Mrs. Nation

DOG GIVES ALARM OF FIRE.
Intelligence of a St. Bernard Pre-
vents Spread of Flames.

Chicago, H., Feb. 15.-Spread Of
flames in a three-story brick building at
6307 Wentworth avenue last evening was
checked by the intelligence of a
9-months' old St. Bernard dog belonging
to II. V. Boyd, who occupies apartments
on the second floor. A vacant store is on

tity of empty dry goods boxes are stored
Mrs. Boyd was sitting in her front

ing hold of her dress with his teeth
barked and ran toward the rear Of the
house At first Mrs. Boyd thought the
dogs antics were in play, but second

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Terrible Disaster in British CO.
lumbia Colliery.
SIXTY MEN IMPRISONED
Volumes of Smoke from Vent Holes
Indicate Raging Fire in
the Mine.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 16.-An explosion
of fire damp occurred in No. mine,
Union collieries, Cumberland, yesterday
morning, between 8 and IL o'clock, lgnlt-
ing the mine and wrecking the SHAFT
from midway down to the bottom and
and timbers. The morning shift, con-
sisting of sixty men at work, was COM
pletely cut off.
From the big volume of smoke issuing
from the vent holes it could be seen that
the fire was raging extensively. rescue
party was Immediately formed and start
ed to cut their way through from NO. D
into the adjoining workings, but they
had not gone many yards when 1t was
discovered that the fire had eaten its way
through, making No. shaft untenable.
The rescue party stuck CALAMITY to the
task but the gas and smoke finally drove
them out.
The only other way of reaching the ap-
parently doomed men is by a long cut
from No. T. Work on this was prose-
cuted with the greatest vlgOr until abate-
ment Of the fire in M. 3 enabled the
men to once more return there.
The latest news is somewhat encour-
aging, it being stated that the fans are
again working, that the cage has got 115
feet and is still going down in No. t
shaft.
Many Of the men are married and have
large families.
Immediately upon receipt of the news
at the head office of the Dunsmuir COM
pany here, a special train was made up,
and proceeded at 1:15 o'clock to Ma
naimo.
At Nanaimo, which was reached last
evening. the Dunsmuir steamer Joan
awaited them. and proceeded sixty miles
by water to Union bay, the remaining
six miles by land to Cumberland to be
made on the Dunsmuir colliery railway.
Even should the rescuing party reach
the interior Of the wrecked workings,
there is little hope for any Of the men
locked up in the shaft. John Bryner
formerly manager of a portion Of the
Dunsmuir mining business, said that
scarcely any hopes could be held out for
the men. The only way in which any of
them could escape would be by reaching
some remote portion Of the workings to
which the fatal gases and smoke could
not penetrate The gas IN a coal mine
he said. did its work in few minutes
Hence the hopelessness of the task of
saving men who had been in it for hours
No 6 was only lately opened, and has
been shipping coal for about four months
The inspectors last report says it was
properly constructed in accordance with
the regulations governing coal mines.

MOB THREATENS TO LYNCH.
Indiana Citizens Ready to Revenge
Murder of Blind Man.

Princeton, Ind, Feb. 15.-The Loomil-
Ter tragedy at Hazelton, this county, may
result in mob action against Martin
Hobbs, who was arrested after an in
vestigation which was in progress pri-
vately all day yesterday. Great crowds
.thronged the streets of Hazelton during
the investigation and many threats were
made. Bloodhounds early in the day
followed trails to Hobbs home and to
two other places from the spot where the
body was found. Loomiller was a blind
man and very wealthy, always carrying
a large amount of money. At the time
he was waylaid he had about $4,000
sewed in a sack inside his vest. The vest
was found ripped open and the money
gone. Evidence is regarded as strong
against Hobbs and duplicates two OF
three companions.

zine will publish on February Is an in
terview with Mr. Kruger, in part as fol-
lows:
"Will no one arbitrate? Will no one
give us & chance Of defending ourselves?
We may have done wrongly; we have our
faults and our weaknesses. We de-
clared war, but our hands were forced,
and we can prove it. Get some one to
iudga between this England and our
selves.
But the Lord will help us in the end.
We shall win. do not know how or
when, but we shah win at last"
Mr.. Kruger says the Transvaal offered
more reforms in one week than an older
country would make in forty years, CIV
ing in on all points almost to the utter
most, but that the uttermost was seized
upon as a stumbling block.
Referring to his reception in Europe
which has bitterly disappointed him, MIR.
Kruger says:
Il care nothing for flowers, nothing
nothing The people who send them
mean well and | am grateful, but | care
nothing for them. What | want Is
a fair hearing and justice--I ask for JUS
tice-we are a little folk, but we have
made great steps"
When asked why he came to Europe he
said to the interviewer: Il could not go
out with the commands as Mr.. Steyn
can. l am too old, but may be Of some
use here"
Regarding Mrs Kruger, he said: Il
am sorry for her, too. l have deep sor-
row for her, but / nave far more sorrow
for my country. My wife has her chill
dren. Six are still with her. They were
left with her in her home. Two of my
sons have 6:ed on the battlefield, Two
were captured. / believe two more are
dead also. as ] have not heard from
them for two months, and | know they
were in the thick of the fight
'"Thirty-one sons and grandsons L have

mando l have not heard from my wife
for sixteen days, but she has six children
with her and she is not to be pitied."
