DEDICATED IN MEMORY OF MRS

,Y HER NIECE, NELLIE G. BEERS, OF OH
CITY, PA.
Blow gently, wind, upon the grave
In which she sleeps to-day,
Wrap the coverlet more close
To keep the cold away.
Do violets whisper thrO' the mold
To her who dreams below,
And tell her of the dream of spring
That thrills their warm hearts so?
Oh, little flowers that live and die,
But live again in spring,
What comfort to the grieving heart
Your good old lessons bring!

BANKER CREEL'S VISIT.
To Arrange Some Way Of Putting Mexico on a
Gold Basis.

New York, Feb. 11.-At dinner
given in his honor by Charles r. Flint,
Senior Enrique c. Creel, banker of
the City OF Mexico, was the principal
speaker. The dinner was attended by
q number OF prominent financiers. 1t
is the general belief that Senior Creel
has come to arrange some way of put
ting Mexico on a gold basis, instead of
her present silver standard. Senior
Creel said:
"Senor Limantour will be the acting
president of Mexico during the Euro
pean trip of President Diaz, which will
take place in the near future. France
will be the first country visited, but
the probabilities are that he will visit
London and all the great Continental
cities. On the return trip New York
will according to the present pro-
gramme, be the port of debarkation.
$50 far as the United States and
Mexico are concel med, the financial
and industrial interests of the two
countries are of the closest and most
important character. Hitherto Ameri-
can capital has found ample field for
investment at home. Its increase has
been SO enormous in recent years that
it now seeks investment abroad. Mex.
leo is the most profitable field to which
it can turn. am not alone in this
opinion. Many of the most eminent
American fnanciers think SO"

Briefly. Judge Cantrlll outlined the

"Now," continued the Judge, "have

Youtsey shifted his position slightly
and cleared his throat. One hand
clutched the lapel of his coat and the
other rested on the table. The court
room WAS perfectly quiet. In low
but audible tone Youtsey spoke these
words:

ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY.


Sioux City, Ia, Feb. l2.-Three
men, believed to have been implicated
in the theft last night at Manila, Ia,
Of United States Express Com pany's
safe, said to contain $40. 900, were ar.
rested at that place this morning.
They were traced by their tracks in
the snow. The men are John Jack.
son. John Stovall and Charles Hayes.
All live at Manila, and are we'll known.
Their regulations heretofore have not
been bad. They stoutly protested
their innocence. Mrs. jackson, wife
of John jackson. was also arrested,
but at preliminary hearing. she was
released. The three men are in Jail,
having been unable to furnish q bond,
fixed ct $4,000 each.
None Of the money or valuables, has
been recovered. The safe that was
stolen contained in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 Two thousand dollars was
in cash, and the remainder in drafts,
checks and various valuables. While
the robbery undoubtedly was deliber-
ately planned, as the horse and wagon
were in waiting in q convenient spot,
it is not believed that the men knew
they were making 90 rich haul.
They had no means of knowing the
contents of the safe, only that it was
used in carrying valuables.
The Chicago. Milwaukee & st. Paul
train on which the safe was taken
from Sioux City, arrived at Manila at
sos P. M. The Omaha train was
late. and James Sturtevsnt. of Sioux

ages from his car. The express box,
with other articles, was placed on
truck on the depot platform, and then
Sturtevant and the baggageman went
to the other end OF the platform to get
another truckload. When Sturtevant
returned he noticed the articles on the
truck were disarranged. and a glance
showed that the iron box was gone.
There was great excitement. and no
time vas lost in spreading the alarm.
Marshal Fearall hastily assembled q
posse. Snow lay thick on the ground.
and it did not take long to discover
the tracks OF two persons. who evident
ly had been carrying something heavy
directly from the truck, as i. stood on
the depot platform.
They carried the safe a distance of
about two blocks. and then loaded it
into a wagon. which had been left
there in waiting. The wagon was
driven about mile and half out into
the country. and there the safe was
forced open and the contents abstract
cd. The men abandoned the safe and
went their way on new track. 1t
was not difficult. however. to trace
them, and this morning three arrests
were made. The authorities say the
shoes of two of the mon under arrest fit
exactly the tracks in the snow.

PROCLAMATION TO FlLIPINOS
Warning to Them and Others Who Aid in the
lnsurrection.

Manila, Feb. ll.-General MacAr-
tur's proclamation to the Filipipos re-
minds the natives that exemplary pun.
ishments attach to infringements OF the
rules of war and that their strict ob.
servance will be required not only by
com batants, but as we'll by noncom bat
ants. General Macarthur states that
insurgents who threaten, kidnap or as
sassinate natives friendly to the
Americans are guilty OF violation OF
the laws of war and must eventually
answer for murder or such other crime
as may result from their unlawful &C.
tions. Persons who do things inimical
to the interests of the American army
will be punished in spite of plea of
intimidation.
When, as is known to be the case in
many places occupied BY United States
troops. secret committees are allowed
to exist and to act in behalf of the So
called ipsurgenr government by collect
ing supplies, recruiting men and send
ing military information to the insur-
gent camps, the persons who screen
these committees are in danger OF be-
ing punished as war traitors. The
proclamation continues:
''The practice of sending supplies to
insurgent troops from places occupied
by the United States must cease.
These remarks all apply with special
reference to the city of Manila, which
is we'll known as rendezvous from
which an extensive correspondence is
distributed to ali parts of the archi-
pelago by sympathizers with, and by
emissaries of the insurrection. The
newspapers and other periodicals OF
Manila are especially admonished that
any article published, in the midst OF
such martial environments, which by
any construction can be placed as Sc
ditious, must be regarded as intended
to injure the army of occupation and
as subjecting all connected with the
publication to punitive action.
"Men who participate in hostilities
without being part of regularly organ
iezd fCrce and without sharing con-
tinuouslv in its operations, but who do
so with intermittent returns to their
homes and avocations, divest them
selves of the character of soldiers, and,
if captured, are not entitled to the
privileges as prisoners Of war.

TOP BLOWN Off



Chihuahua, Mex, Feb. 9.-Word
has Just reached here of one of the most
terrible mining disasters that ever oc-
Cured in Mexico. An explosion in
the San Andres mine, situated ina re-
mote locality of the Sierra Madres, in
the western part Of the state of Du.
range, caused the death of 81 men,
women and children. and injured
many others. The catastrophe was
due to the explosion OF several hundred
cases of dynamite, which was stored in
An underground cham Der of the mine.
Electric wires connecting with the
hosting machinery passed through the
room in which this dynamite was
stored. and it is supposed that these
wires became crossed. thereby causing
a fire which set of the dynamite.
All of the killed and injured were
located on the surf ace, most Of them
occupying residences right over the
underground workings of the mine
The explosion tore away the whole top
of the mountain on which the village
was located, and men, women and
children were blown into small pieces.
Among those who were killed was Her
man Luetzman, the superintendent Of
the mine and all the members of his
family.
At the time of the explosion there
were several hundred miners at work
in the lower workings OF the mine.
and. strange to say, none of them were
seriously injured, although they were
all severely shocked by tn terrific
force of the explosion. They rushed
to the surface through one OF the shafts
that was not filled with debris and the
sight that met their eyes in the almost
complete destruction of the little vii
lage is indescyibable. The work of
gathering up the fragments of the un-
fortunate victims OF the explosion scat.
tered over the mOuntain was begun,
and they were placed together and
buried in one grave. But few of the
mangled remains were rcOgnizabl
Summons were sent to neighboring
camps for surgeons to attend to the in
jured. and it was some time before
they arrived.
The San Andres mine is the most
celebrated silver mine in Mexico. IL
is valued at $2O.0OO,O00. 1t has pro-
duced many millions of dollars worth
of ore.
