en- prisoners are Martin Marcano,
president of the state of Barcelona
and commander of the government
troops, eight generals and twenty

KING EDWARD CROWNED.
Coronation Ceremony Carried Out
Without a Hitch.

Without a Hitch.
London, Aug. 1.-THE coronation of
King Edward and Queen Alexandra
took place shortly after noon Saturday
In Westminster abbey. In all respects
the celebration was impressive and it
was carried out with a perfection of
detail and lack of accidents that has
rarely characterized similar displays.
That pride of empire which marked
Queen Victorias jubilee was lacking;
and In its stead there pervaded all
classes a keen recollection that only
six weeks ago their king lay in danger
OF death, and this produced thankful.
ness and genuine sympathy for the
man rather than adulation of the king.
This feeling was voiced by the arch
bishop of Canterbury, when he insert
ed In one of the coronation prayers,
the words "for whose recovery we now
give thee heartfelt thanks" Yet this
did not prevent the public from voic.
ing appreciation of such military dis.
play as the short procession gave
them chance to see.
Earl Roberts, cOmmander.in-chief of
the forces, was once more the hero of
the hour and, next to the king himself,
received the heartieSt welcome of the
assembled crowds.
Lord Kitchener received thundrous
ovations, which he acknowledged
neither by look nor bow, but as Eng
lish crowds are used to this treat.
ment from Lord Kitchener, it quite
failed to suppress the enthusiasm.
But is was for the king and queen
themselves that the people really let
themselves loose. Throughout the day
wherever and whenever their majes
ties were seen the cheers were loud
and long and especially was this so
on the return journey OF the king and
queen to Buckingham palace.

ELEVEN BODIES RECOVERED.
Thirteen Men Lose Their Lives In a
Mine Disaster.

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 9.-The rescue
party at the Bowen mine, where dis.
astrous explosion occurred Thursday
evening, was compelled to suspend
work at a. m. owing to firedamp. At
that hour the bodies of eleven dead
had been recovered. There were at
least thirteen men in the mine at the
time of the explosion and all undoubt
edly were killed.
No gas has been discovered in the
mine and 1t is the opinion of the Of
flcials that the accident was caused by
a premature shot. The powderhouse
at the mouth of the mine, containing
about 1000 pounds of blasting powder.
was exploded by the shock from the
mine and ireat damage was done to
the mouth of the slope.
The town of Bowen, situated about
a quarter of a mile below the mine.
was shaken and number Of windows
broken. Immediately after the explo.
sion almost the entire population of
the town rushed to the mouth of the
mine and the scenes there were heart
rending.
The mine is almost total wreck as
far as can be determined.
The explosion occurred about 1000
feet from the surface. The mine
was quickly filled with gas and smoke
and those who escaped instant death
were undoubtedly suffocated.

NORTH DAKOTA HAPPENINGS

OUT THE STATE.
Old Bachelor Found Murdered In His
Home at Devils Lake Dairy
Commissioner Kaufman Issues
Warming to Farmers.

A most foul and revolving murder
was discovered by Hans Wilson, lab
oring man who went to call on Nick
Nachtsheim, an old bachelor who was
living alone in his cottage in the south
part of Devils Lake. After repeated
raps for entrance without receiving
response from inside, Wilson raised
the window and lighting match dis
covered that tragedy had been en-
acted. He notified the officers that
Nachtsheim had been murdered and
his body thrown into the cellar. A
horrible sight was presented when the
body was raised from the cellar to
the room. The head was severed
from the shoulders and had a deep
bullet hole in it's crown. AS the body
was in a bad state of decomposition,
it is evident the crime was committed
at least eight or ten days previously
and the absence of any blood stains
shows that the man was killed outside
and his body placed in the cellar. The
bullet was found in the head and is
of 3S-caliber. The tragedy is shroud-
ed in mystery and the only motive ap-
parent is robbery.

sued warning to farmers who are
supplying milk to creameries, in re-
gard to keeping up their supply dur.
ing the harvest season. He calls at
tention to the fact that if the cows
are not attended to properly they will
go back in their milk, and also to the
necessity of creameries in operation
the year around. There are a number
of new creameries just started this
summer and it will practically ruin
them if they are compelled to shut
down for two or three months.

Following the lead Of Iowa and Mon

equalization has increased the valua-
tion of the main lines of railroads in
this state. Representatives of the
roads appeared before the board and
made protest, but without avail. The
board increased the valuation $1,000 a
mile, making the valuation of the
main lines for taxation purposes,
$500 mile. The valuation of the
branch lines was unchanged. There
are approximately 1,4OO miles of main
line so that the increase will be about

Marshalltown, la, Aug. s.-The lat.
est developments show that fifteen
persons were killed and forty injured
in the work train wreck on the Mil.
waukee road near here. OF the in.
jured two or three cannot recover. 1t
is thought possible that more bodies
may. be found as the wreckage has
not yet been entirely cleared away.
The dead are two trainmen. an un.
known tramp and twelve section la.
borers, and the disaster was caused
by the work train colliding with
freight.
The wreck. which was the worst in
the history of the road was caused, it
is alleged, by the disregard of orders
by the conductor of the work train.
When the work train, which was in
charge of Conductor Craig. reached
Rhodes, the signal was set against 1t.
The telegraph operator Informed Craig

have to wait for it.
The conductor, it is claimed, did not
understand what was said, or wanted
to take chance at reaching a size
track before meeting the freight train,
so gave the engineer the signal, &C.
cording to the roads officials, to go
ahead at full speed.
The disaster followed, the freight
and work train coming together at full
speed.
Work Trim a Heap of Debris.
The wreck left the work train a heap
of debris with the mangled bodies OF
the victims under it.
Many of the men were pinned down
with heavy timbers lying across them.
which were slowly but surely crushing
out their life.
Other had been struck by flying
splinters or pieces of iron which had

Disagreement.
One poor fellow was pinned down
by heavy piece Of iron which rested
from his side, and he was in great
agony. He begged one of the rescuers
to put an end to his misery with bull
let. Nothing could be done to remove
him until a huge pile of wreckage had
been removed, and by the time this.
was done death had come to the mans
relief
A part of the injured were brought
here and the others we're taken to

The bodies of the dead are at

Aside from the train crews, the in

had been brought out by the company
to do this construction work. They

AFTER THE ELECTION
EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE
TO BE CALLED EARLY IN
NOVEMBER.

President Believes Cuban Reciprocity
Treaty Stands More Chance Of Rat.
ification After the Congressional
Contests Are Settled and Expects to
Have the Question Finally Disposed
Of Before the Regular Session.
Washington, Aug. 13.-Advices re.
ceived here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in ex-
traordinary session early in Novenl-
Der.
Ever since it became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session of congress rumors of a more
or less definite nature have been in cir
culation that the president would call
an extra session, either of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation, or of the senate to ratify
If possible a reciprocal treaty with
Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose of Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call a special ses-
sion of the senate early In September.
1t can be stated by authority that he
has no such intention. His time and
that of many members of both political
parties will be occupied during Sep
tember and October. 1t is under
stood to be the belief of the president
that session of the senate held for
the purpose OF ratifying a reciprocity
treaty with Cuba would be much more
likely to be fruitful of results if held
after the November elections than if
held before. 1t is assured that the
question of the relations of the United
States with Cuba will enter largely
into the approaching campaign and it
is stated that the president feels the
Democrats will be less likely to offer
serious opposition to reciprocity
treaty after the election than they
would before that time.
A treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. 1t requires only the
finishing touches and the signatures
of Minister Quesada and Secretary of
State Hay to make it ready for pres
entation to the senate.
No definite date, it is understood
has been fixed upon for the meeting in
November, but that it will be soon
after the election is reasonably GER
tain. The president. it is said, hopes
to have the reciprocity question
cleared away entirely before the reg
ular session of congress-
