Word has been received by the
Eastern Star Chapter of this place
that Mrs. Bristol, the Grand Worthy
Matron of the Grand Chapter OF Wy

past week, on a visit to the Chapter, has
been compelled to postpone her visit

AUTOMOBILE LINE FROM
RAWlIMS TO SARATOGA.
Henry Murchison is the Owner, and he
Expects tn Make Round Trips Daily
Between Rawlins and Saratoga.

Henry Murchison proposes to
put on an automobile line from
Rawlins to Saratoga. and he will
begin making regular trips as
soon as he can get his machine in
running order and make n few
necessary repairs on the road be-
tween here and Saratoga.
While in San Francico n couple
of months ago Mr.. Murchison Wis.,
tied the factory of the San Fran
cisco Automobile company, and
placed an order for a vehicle, with
a seating capacity of s persons
besides the seat for the chauffeur
or driver
The vehicle arrived here yester-
day, and Mr.. Murchison will give
il a trial as soon as n box of light
parts which were shipped separ-
Htely arrive. He hopes to get the
machine in running order so as to
use it on election day, the Repub-
lican committee having secured a
promise from him to use it for
hauling Republican voters to the
polls. if he can get the machine
in running order by Tuesday.
This machine is run by steam
having 1S-horse power. Gasoline
is used for generating steam. The
vehicle weighs about 5000 pounds.
and has a guaranteed speed Of 30
miles an hour on level roads.
Mr.. Murchison expects to make
the round trip from Rawlins to
Saratoga daily to start out with
and if the machine does the work
claimed for it by the manufacture
ers he will go clear through to
Grand Encampment and return
every day.
LII he can do this with the ma
chine. there is 10 question about
him inducing the travel to come
this way. If a traveller can go to
Saratoga in two hours on a pneu-
matte tired automobile. he would
hardly spend four or five making
the trip on a slow going stage
coach.
This automobile line. if success
full, will unquestionably result in
bringing most of the travel to
Saratoga and the Grand Encamp-
ment section via. Rawlins.
MI. Murchison is to be congrat.
ulated on his enterprise. and ev-
eryone wishes him in his
Republi-
can.

He said it would be the aim of
the company to a. once furnish

temporary arrangements for the
bathers until the new building
could be erected. This will be
good news, not only TO the many
people who have been intending
to come to this place ior the sum.

The loss of the building and
furniture will amount to nearly
$4,000. About $4,000 or sl6,-
600 of this is covered by lnsur-
ance. Mr.. Galbraith had only
recently laid in a large quantity
of his summer supplies, amount
ing in the neighborhood of
$500 which all went in the fire.
The people of Saratoga and the
entire valley sympathyse very
deeply with the company in their
loss and especially with Mr.. and
Mrs. Galbraith and Rev. Brun-
dage.
The manner in which the men
of Saratoga took hold of this fire
was quite commendable. Every
body was interested and anxious
to help, and did all in their pow
err. G. S. Taylor, the night po-
liceman. was especially active,
and directed tine work Of the men
in a very efficient manner. A
bucket brigade was organized as
soon as they saw hat the hotel
could not be saved, to undertake
the perilous work of saving the
frame barn. The men worked on
the roof and side of the building
next to the fire until their cloth
ing was smoking, but the chang
ing of the wind and the rapid
burning of the building enabled
them to accomplish their work.
The barn is a new building, cost
ing about $1,000. The fire scorch-
ed the roof and shrivelled the
paint on the side of the building
nearest to the fire. but did not
seriously damage it. The ice
house and coal house, which stood
east of the hotel, both went, as a
matter of course, and the ice, now
a huge block some IL by is feet,
stands there n frozen memento of
the catastrophe.
The origin of the fire is IA mys-
terry. One of the girls had been
in the ladies lounging room, of
the bath house, where the fire
started, but n short time previous
and says there was but little fire in
the stove. Veryshortly aftersard

ing to the ladies department, car-
ried a few Jumps of coal into the
room in her hand and replenished

fire was not from the stove but
appeared to have began in one
corner of the room. 1t will prob
ably never be known just what
started the blaze.

ITALY IN THROES
OF GREAT STRIKE

Florence, Italy, Sept 2.-Italy is in
the throes OF a great strike. Starting
only last Friday, the strike now in
cludes forty callings and has already
paralyZed industry and threatens TO
involve every section of the country.
Martial law mas been deslared. Fifty
thousand soldiers have, been massed
in and around this city in an effort to
suppress violence. The red hand of
the anarchist is now discerniule be-
meath the disturbance.
AZ national discomfort exists among
the laDOring class and thousands are
seeking to inaugurate a national and
international campaign, as the discon-
tent involves other countries.
Forty thousand wOrkmen are idle
and the movement is growing. me
problem of feeding the population has
already become a serious one. When
the people begin to lack food great
violence is expected. Newspapers
have been forced to abandon publica-
ton. The gas mains have been sew
cred by the strikers and this city is in
darkness. A small riot and fight
among the discontinued was caused
here by the demand of the strikers
that the workmen on the English
church stop work. On being refused
the strikers threw petroleum on the
church and set fire to it. Only quick
action of the church sympathizers
saved the structure from destruction.
Great fear is expressed lest the pub
lie service be discontinued. The
troops have been ordered to maintain
the tramway service at all harzards.

ENORMOUS SHOWERS OF ASHES
DOING DAMAGE.
PEOPLE TERROR. STRICKEN
Three Separate Eruptions Accompan-
led by Magnificent Electrical Dis
play and Tidal Wave-More Than
200 Reported to Have Lost Their
Lives.

Castries, Sept. ,2.-Mont Pelee has
been in constant eruption since Au-
gust Is. There was an enormous fall
of ashes from the volcano on the nigh.
of the 25th. There was very severe
rumblings heard at a great distance.
The mountain burned fercely that
night and out at sea passing vessels
were covered with ashes. The night
of the Both, there were three separate
eruptions. 1t is impossible to ap-
proach the ruined town of st. Pierre
from the sea. The people of the viii
lage of LIE Carbet, on the coast are ter
riOr-stricken, flying to the interior.
Hot water is pouring down in Lor-
raine, Basse Pointe and villages to
the northeast of the crater Horrible
detonations have been heard, the
ground rocked and quaked and arti-
cles on tables were thrown to the
floor The governor of Martinique or
dered every available boat to remove
people from the coast villages of Fort
De France.
At eight ip the evening of Saturday,
Sept 80, the sky was cloudless. Sud-
denly, without warning half the hori
zon was obscured by a pitch black
cloud of dust. The cloud was the cen
ter of most magnificent electric eff
fects, flashes of light surprising the
most elaborate fireworks. Flames
and fahes continued to burst from the
cloud until nearly midnight. Col
umns of flame shot out of the crater
of Mont Pelee to explode about the
cloud in showers of balls of golden
fire which fell through the darkness
in myriads of sparks. Three large
aureOies were seen in the sky over
the opening of the crater.
A tidal wave rushed upon Fort de
France and lie terrified inhabitants
fed in large numbers to the interior
The wave was not severe, and did but
slight damage. At midnight of the
Goth, Mont Pelee was quiet; Fh).tlJ
after this hour there came another
shower of ashes, accompanied by a
vivid sheet of lightning.
In addition to the 200 persons re-
ported to have lost their lives at La
Carbet, Morne Rouge, many other
persons are said to have been killed
all over the northern districts of the
island. The governor of Martinique
is believed to have started for the
scene of the destruction.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
Saloons Ordered Closed as on Regular
Election DAYS.

Baltimore, Aug. 31.-Acting under in
structions from the board of police
commissioners, Marshal Farnan will
order all saloons closed on September
4. the primary election day. The or
def~is based upon an opinion given by
Mr.. Alonzo Miles, counsel to the board
at the latter's request.
Mr. Miles contends that the election
law passed by the last legislature
makes it unlawful to sell liquor on
days of primary elections as well as on
general election days, as heretofore
The act of the legislature referred to
takes the primary elections out of the
hands of the political organizations
and places it in the same legal cate
cory with general elections.
The order of Marshal Farnan will
require the saloons to remain closed
from midnight September to a
m September 5. The penalty for vic
lation is a fine of from $50 to 800 fol-
each offense, or Imprisonment in de
fault Half of the fine goes to the in
former.

Kansas City, Mo, Sept. I'm his
labor day address Senator Fairbanks
of Iowa, speaking of child labor, said:
mo such abuse can long endure when
the moral sense of the country is
aroused. Mere selfshness cannot long
stand in the way. It is a gratifying
fact that in most Of the states laws are
uron the statute books which protect
tender childhood from the rapacity OF
such as are now arousing the moral
sentiment of the country. This is not
a sectional question. It is an humani-
tartan question, which knows neither
section nor latitude. Child labor is
not wrong done alone to childhood.
Society is vitality interested in the
fullest possible physical moral and in
tellectual development of it's members,
and in the end it suffers if the children
who are to constitute it's membership
are atrOphied in the essential quail
