ANOTHER FAKE
NEWS STORY
Published in a Denver Morn
ing Paper.
Tells of Miraculous Escape of a
Florence Woman from Gasoline
Explosion Because of Chris
tian Science Faith.

The story published in II Denver
paper yesterday TO the effect that a
Florence lady had been seriously
burned by gasoline explosion and
that she attributed her salvation to
the Christian Science faith, was a
canard, pure and simple. Mrs. Bessie
Woods, the lady in question, is
very indignant over the article and
the publicity it has given her. While
bending over gasoline stove, Satur-
day Mrs. Woods had hair singed by a
sudden burst of flame, but she was in
no way injured neither was her cloth
ing ignited.
There is more or less Indignation
among the people of Florence on ac-
count of the many fake stories that
appear in outside papers. There
ought to be some way of stopping it.

Hot Weather Weakness.

If you feel tagged out, listless and

and impart natural activity to the
liver. This, Herbine will do; it is a
tonic, laxative and restorative. Fl.

The work of a miner and a miners $
labOrer is extremely hazardous. In fact.
II is more dangerous than employment
IN any other important industry in the
world. The number of persons killed and
injured is greater than in any other in
dGstry. Each day the anthracite coal
mines are in operation , 6-l0 persons lose
their lives and three times as many are
manned, and yet these men receive less
wages annually than are received by men
performing precisely similar work in oth-
er fields under more favorable and less
hazardous conditions The number of

to carry an insurance of $1,000.
1T seems but fair and just that wages

action was taken after the delegation had
unanimously offered it's earnest support
to Joseph Babcock. of the third con-

Babcock. however. declined to be can
didate and advocated unanimous support
Of Mr.. Cannon. Mr.. Babcock addressed
the delegation, declining with thanks the
honor offered him, and stating:
MY time as you know, has been given
for the success of the republican party
and republican principles by the election
of a republican house of representatives.
We have elected a republican house by a
majority of 90. according to the late re-
ports.
THE first and most important thing
to he considered is a harmonious organ
ization. one that will bring to the speaker
all the elements of strength in the party.
The east has several distinguished gen
tlemen whose names have been mentioned
for speaker. and the middle west has the
Hon. Theodore f.. Burton. of Ohio. The
west proper nas but one announced candi-
date. the Hon. Joseph c. Cannon. of Hill

"If I should enter the field as a candi-
date II would he a long drawn out con-
test that might leave scars that would
in the end prevent that harmony of or
ganzation which. i'm the public interest.
should be preserved. especially in the
west. We must not forget that our first
duty is to the people and that we must
give President Roosevelt's administration
"A strong and united support.
