Big Lumber Firm May Have to Pay
Claims of LOsers.
Duluth, Mimi, May 29.-One Of the
most important cases ever tried In
this county was concluded last evening
when a jury in the district court rem
dered a verdict for the plaintiff in an
action entitled Ole Halverson Of Vtr-
ginia, Mimi, VS.. The Moon & Kerr
Lumber Company Of Virginia. If the
decision is upheld by the higher courts
it means the bankruptcy of the firm,
as nearly one million dollars is in
volved. By the verdict the lumber
company is held responsible for the fire
at Virginia in June, 1900, which de-
stroyed nearly every building in the
town. Halverson is a butcher who was
burned out and brought suit against
Moon & Kerr for 1920, asserting that
but for the carelessness Of their en-
ployes in burning saw dust the fire
would not have happened. The jury
returned a verdict for the full amount
and if sustained every man losing
ploperty in the con1agration will en-
deavor to recover their loss from the
company. The trial has occupied about
ten days. The firm is D. H. Moon of
Duluth and Isaac Kerr of Eau Claire.

TEACHERS FOR PHILIPPINES.

Question Of Transportation Worry
ing III Department..
Washington, May ,26. Secretary
Root and Col. Edwards, chief Of the
insular bureau Of the war department,
are considering plans for transporting
teachers to the Philippines. In view of
the fact that the army transports have
Comparatively few state rooms, and
they are assigned to officers, 1t is man
lfest that there. will be no adequate
facilities for carrying loco teachers to
Manila on these vessels under present
Srrangements. Col. Edwards has pro-
posed to Secretary Root that one Of the
transports be set aside for the teach
ers and fitted up with state rooms for
their accommodation. The Philippine
commission has urged the secretary Of
war to send 1000 teachers from this
country at the earliest possible date.
T1S ltNA considered advisable to have
them there before the next school year
begins. The insular bureau has been
swamped with applications from school
teachers who wish to go to the Philip
ptnes.. ~

WAR CLAIMS PAID.

Gen. Lambert Concludes a Succcss-
full Mission to Washington.
st. Paul, May 29.-Former Adjutant
General Lambert, who has just re-
turned from Washington, has succeed
ed in securing the immediate allowance
Of $22,0 900 due from the war department
to the State Of Minnesota. But for Gen.
Lambert's energetic efforts months
would probably have elapsed before the
money became available. The allow
ance Of the $22, 900 will permit the ex-
penditure next month of 10000 for in
stalling a water supply and otherwise
improving the national guard camp
ground at Lake City. A bill passed by
the last legislature appropriated 10000
on condition that the money was to be
taken from about $22. 600 owed to the
state by the federal val department.

terday that Aguinaldo desires to visit

Suspension of Hostilities
in the Philippines is adding greatly to
the work Of the department in respect
to civil affairs in the islands. The re-
port Of the Philippine commission in
regard to the civil government was
received at the department yesterday,
and 1t will require some time and Ia
Dor to go ove its various provisions
before the plan is approved by the Sec
rotary of war and President Mckinley.
The task of providing the new govern
pen1 Jig regarded by the insular bureau
I officials as tremendous one, but it is
believed that the commission has pro-
Weed a plan that will be satisfactory.
In the main the electoral franchise is
extended to all residents Of the island,
but the right is withheld from those
who are in arrears for taxes levied UNI
der the authority Of the United States
and also to those who participated in
the in%surrection after April Of this

Instantly a terrific explosion occurred
and a seething mass of flames shot to
the mouth Of the mine and extended
800 feet into the open air, scorching the
leaves from the nearby trees. There
were thirty-four men in the mine at
the time. Four of these escaped with
slight injury. .Twenty-one were killed
and nine were terribly burned. most
Of them fatally. The force of the ex-
plosion caused great masses Of coal
and slate to cave in from the roof of
the mine and many of the fated miners
were completely buried. Word quick
~ reached Dayton and rescue forces
were at once organized and proceeded
to the mine. One by one the blackened
and horribly disfgured bodies were
taken from the debris and carried to
the mouth Of the mine, where they
were put on a locomotive and taken to
Dayton. Scores Of relatives and
friends gathered at the mouth Of the
mine and the shrieks of anguish as the
bodies were removed were. heartrend-
ing.
