without an Instant of warning. Turtle
mountain, in southwestern Alberta, was
spit asunder, probably by an explosion
OF fire damp in mine. early "Wednesday
morning, and n minute later the little
mining town of Frank, situated Mt it's
oase' was overwhelmed with millions of
tons of rock.
The Inhabitants. aroused In alarm from
their slumbers by the tremendously lopd
regeneration Of the heaving mountain.
We're In many cases killed by the falling
stones, which crushed in their houses and
killed them in their beds
1t Is believed that the victims of tho
volcano number nincty-six. OF these.
elghty-two men, women and children are
SAID to have persisted in their homes.
Twelve miners employed by the French
Canadian Coal Company were killed
While working around the company's
shaft, and two men who were working
IN the shafts were smothered to death.
Fifteen companions dug their way out
through the broken rock.
To add to the horror Frank Is threat
ened with complete destruction by flood.
Old Mans river, which flows through
the center Of the town, is damned UP
nearly 100 feet. The waters of the river
are backed up for miles and the entire
valley above the town Is flooded.
Fissure ee-quartcrs Miles Long.
According to reliable reports from eye
witnesses, the earth opened for three
quarters of mile and many feet in
width. Then the whole northern face of
Turtle mountain slipped from place. The
shock resultant upon the precipitation
OF the millions of tons of rock into the
valley demolished the houses where the
fatalities took place, and SO shook the
foundations of the majority Of the other
dwellings that they are unsafe to live in.
Many hundreds of people will have to
live in the open or under such temporary
shelter as may be procurable. The rail
road track for distance Of two miles
or more east Of the station is covered
with from ten to forty feet Of rock.
Despite the great risk they ran of be-
Ing buried under the shower of rocks
from the mountain top, Il volunteer relief
force was formed to get into the mine.
They managed to approach near enough
to determine that not man Mt the work
ings had escaped death, and the bodies of
many were seen who had been fcarfully
mangled. Then they were forced to flee
by renewal of the discharge from the
mountain.
The disaster was mercful to those
men who were employed above ground
In that they must have been killed in
stantly. 1t was not confined to the Vi
entity of the mine alone, for many of
the dwelling houses in the town of
Frank, ut n considerable distance, were
demolished by falling rock. Nearly all
their occupants suffered death.
The accepted theory as to the cause of
the disaster is that it was due to q rock
slide caused probably by an explosion of
fire damp in the mine, which carried
the top of Turtle mountain down upon
the village below. What was ut first
supposed to be the smoke of volcano is
thought TO be dust. and the continued
fall of small bits Of rock merely the af'
termath of the original rockslide.

TITO the woman of ancient Israel not

10 become mother--more especially
tho mother of strong, healthy boy
was the height of glory for the faithful
woman of the good old Bible days.
Even now, when maternity Is not cs-
teemed as of yore, the mother of healthy
children is an object Of admiration. and
sometimes envy, by her neighbors. AS
compared with ancient peoples, the
average American woman has a low ap-
probation of motherhood. There are,
however, great many exceptions to
TINS statement.

The Milwaukee railroad probably will
exchange certain branches of it's system
in eastern Iowa for the Madison, Wis,
Illinois Central road, according to re-
port from Chicago. The two lines which
will come into possession of the Milwau-
kee road extend from Freeport, Ill, to
Madison and from Freeport to Dodge
vile. They comprise 1913 miles of track,
besides sidings. The Iowa divisions to
be taken over by the Illinois Central
road are said to be profitable, but that
they could be made to pay larger divi-
dends if they were part of the latter
system. On the other hand the Illinois
Central lines in Wisconsin have never
paid dividends, but would be a good ad-
dition to the Milwaukee roads system.

No BETTER estimate of the worth of a
prominent citizen can be given than the
eulogy of the press and people so uni
versally expressed upon the death of
Justice Chas. Y. Bardeen. Few people
enjoyed the esteem and respect of so
large a portion of the commonwealth,
even though he had occupied seat up
on the supreme bench but few years.
The loss to the state in his early useful
ness is more to be regretted because his
exceptional abilities were winning rec
ognition as his judgment broadened
through experience as jurist. Those
who knew him intimately, as it was the
privilege of the writer for nearly forty
years, appreciate his sterling integrity
and generous hearted character. Upon
these the greatest grief will fall. A life
rounded out and ripened as though full
of years, has been cut short before it's
time, casting a shadow of sadness over

In THE scramble for position on the
supreme bench to succeed the lamented
Judge Bardeen, the dignity of the high
office and the necessary qualifications
that fit man to occupy it seem to have
been lost sight Of The meeting of the
state bar association, called at Madison
Tuesday to recommend a successor, tan
gled itself up in maze of complications
that engendered a good deal of bad feel
ing among the attorneys without accom-
plishing it's ends. The proceedings were
so devoid of dignity and showed such a
lack of knowledge of parliamentary
practice as to make political caucus
respectable in comparison. 1t proves
that convention of lawyers can make a
spectacle of themselves if given an op-
DOrtunity

THE Department of Agriculture has
issued a pamphlet summing up the re-
suits of an experiment by the Wisconsin
station, showing that the claim that
nurse crop is necessary for grass and
clover sowing is without foundation.
There is no need whatever for sowing
oats, barley or any other grain with
grasses for the purpose of yielding shade
and protection. Young grass and Glow
er plants are not injured by direct sun
light and heat more than other plants of
our fields" The experiments, made over
a series Of years, show that grasses and
clover sown by themselves on properly
prepared soil spring up at once and
make rapid growth, bearing seed heads
the same season. The objection that
weeds will spring up can be overcome
largely by running the mower over the
field when the weeds are about eight
inches high, setting the cutter bar so
that the tops of the weeds are cut while
the grass plants are not hurt. Soil, how
ever, to be planted in this way should be
fairly free from weed seeds. 1t IS rec
commended to SOW seeds early in the
spring.

THAT there are 1913 trusts in the United
States, representing an aggregate cap
italization amounting to nearly one
seventh of the entire wealth of the
United States, is fact easily computed
statistics just published in the Congress
sional Record, and contained in a speech
by Mr.. Littlefeld of Maine. A list of
trusts existing on Jan. l, 1903, is given
and this is undoubtedly the most com
plete statement of the kind ever issued.
1t is not necessary to comment at
length on this astounding exhibit which
seems all the more marvellous when it is
remembered that it is practically the
growth of the past six years. That in
the nation at large this has resulted in
the "trust" issue in politics, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt's policy of publicity, and
that in the cities it has given rise to the
problem of the proper municipal regu-
lation, or even public ownership of fran
chises, is not surprising in view of the
facts. No other development of our
national life is more stupendous than
this.
Attention should be called to the fact
that of the total trust capitalization of
SIS, 750, 734,5I7, the amount of the COM
mon stock is S8,912, 472, $50, or about two
thirds of the whole. The popular i'm
preston is that these common stocks
represent only in very small part any
actual capital paid in either cash or in
property. Conceding this to be the case
the congested condition of the money
and investment market is in large sense
explained.-Wall Street Journal.

Dillon, January 10-Yesterday after
noon the preliminary examination of
r. p. Tripletts, the negro who fired
a bullet through his wife's mouth, on
the night of December 4, took place,
and Tripletts was bound over to the
district court. In default of $500 bonds
He will spend the next few
months in Jail. The trouble occurred
in one of the sporting houses on the
island. Tripletts was jealous of the
attentions another negro was paying
to his wife.
He held a revolver close to his wife's
face and pulled the trigger. Teh bull
let entered her mouth, crashed
through her teeth and lodged at the
angle of her jaw. directly below the
ear. where it was found by the ply
sicians.
Mrs. Tripletts was a very sick wo-
man for a few days, and the fact that
he had an unusually strong set of
teeth was all that saved her from
being killed by her jealous husband

TIMES ARE NOT so BAD.

While the coal famine in the east
seems to bring about a general stagna-
ton in business in many eastern cities
and il is common thing to hear OF
the distressingly dull times in Butte,
yet there is a lady away out on West
Broadway who conducts a dress max
ing establishment. completely crowd
ed out with work. She states that
she is unable to secure enough help to
handle the business that comes in. A
little more than two months ago Mrs.
Nelson conceived the idea of opening
business for herself on the
west side and thereby cater
for trade among the swells of
society. Commencing from the first
day she opened for business, she has
never had her order book cleared of
jobs on hand, and now that her bust
ness has grown to scuh an extent that
is it a difficult task for her to secure
enough sewing girls.
