WHAT CAN WE DO
WITH BREATHITT

Here's what the court of appeals, in
its most recent observations, says Of
Breathitt county:
elm any event, the district has
suffered enough from this mismansged
AFFAIR, involving, if the evidence is to
b believed, bribery, incompetency,
attempted homicide, burning
and all manner Of shameless wire-pull-
ing by ambitious politicians; it should
not lose money allotted to it, no law
fnl common school having been taught
wi.hin the district for the year"
The press is full of warm ones
against Breathitt count, but very
few practical remedies for existing
svils are offered. 1t is suggested that
you educate the people, but, judging
from their inherent tendencies and the
condition Of their school system, you
might as well try to educate Fiji
Islander. You can't call them out
and shoot them, aud 1t seems that it is
going to be very hard matter TO con-
vict any of the dominant feudists for
their crimes, while there will soon be
comparatively few of the other fell
lows left. Lawlessness may for time
be suppressed in Breathitt, but no one
expects any marked change in oondi-
tions unless for the worst when the
militia is withdrawn and the people
may return to their old haunts and
habits, more lawless than ever from
resentment over the determined treat
ment that has been melted out to them
~ the state.
The problem Of what TO do with
Breathitt is certainly a serious one.
Sometimes it seems it would be best

Doubtless it Is the desire Of all good
Kentuckians to offer to Capt. Even q
fitting token of their sympathy and
respect for the good work he did in
the Breathitt county cases. He lost
his home and everything else except
his family, but the donations already
received in various cities Of the state
show that he will be amply compen-
stated for the sacrifices he has made.

ease. II is well known that all dust
in city streets contains the germs Of
disease in greater or less numbers.
Among these the germs of tuberculosis
may be counted upon with almost
constant certainty. 1t is further
known that these germs become mixed
with dust Of streets chiefly through
the uncleanly habit of splitting in
public places.
IAN investigation recently under
taken by the board of health Of New
York City has shown that air cur
rents nearest the street surface carry
many more dust-borne organisms than
do those a few feet higher. Hence
the child playing on the sidewalk or
in the gutter and the baby in the car
riage or go-cart are much more liable
to contract disease from inhaling
street dust than those who walk along
the street and breathe air some five
feet or more above the street level.
Infant mortality may, therefore, be
partly dependent upon the cleanliness
of pavements.
"a physician who has recently in
vestigated the subject of the infection
of air states that the street dust Of
cities, laden as it often is with exore-
mentitious particles from man and the
lower animals, and carried by the
wind into the eyes and upper respira-
tory passages Of persons exposed, is
probably the origin of many of the
milder catarrhal affections prevalent
in the spring and fall. and may also be
the origin of tuberculosis or other
grave infection.
"Streets should be we'll sprinkled,
especially those streets in which there
is much rapid travelling. By their
rapid motion street cars have been
known to sweep up and distribute in
the atmosphere quantities of dust
laden with multitudinous organic and
inorganic PARTICLES.

MINERS UNION OFFICIALS ARE
DRIVEN OUT IDAHO SPRINGS

Denver. July Boa Denver News
says:
AS the result of public Indignation
meeting called by the executive COM
mittee of the Citizens Protective
League, a body of 500 citizens took
fourteen union men from the city jail
and walked them out of town. The
party were Howard Tressidel. president
of the local union A d. Alcott, vice
president and chairman of the execu-
tive committee; George Decker, secre-
tary; Peter Bender. treasurer; Con
O'Brien and C. ID. Compton, members
of the executive committee; Thomas
Walsh, j. II. Crimmons, Giss Welsh,
Zoe Hoehrl, Pat CBrien. M. ]. Reilly,
Edward Carter and man named Phil
lips, all of whom have been prominent
Iy identified with the local union.
Shortly after o'clock this evening
the fire bell rang, in response to which
large crowd gathered at the Opera
house. City Attorney Fred d. COLON
was made chairman of the meeting.
and stated that its purpose was to con-
slider the outrage perpetrated at the
Sun and Moon mine last night and to
discuss what action should be taken.
w. P. Mccormick responded with
speech of considerable length, in which
he put the blame for the dynamiting
upon the agitation of members of the
local union He said it had come to
question as to whether the people of
Idaho Springs should run the town or
a few agitators be permitted to dictate
the policy, and urged that it was time
for the citizens to be awake to their
own interests and take some action to
prevent the possibility of further oc-
currences like that of last night.
He was followed by l.. Hanchett,
manager of the Lamartine mine and
Newhouse tunnel, president of the
First National Bank and vice president
Of the Cascade Electric Company. Mr..
Hanchett began with the statement
that he and H. N. Sims. manager of
number of months marked men and
were to be removed like Collins at Tel
lurde. He stated that for months his
property had been in danger. and the
electric power plant at Georgetown
had been threatened with destruction
because they furnished power to the
Sun and Moon. He stated that he pre-
ferred to see the men punished who in
cited the riots, as well as those who
carried out their plans. He urged that
no violence should be done, but that
the inmates of the Jail should be TAX
en- therefrom and quietly escorted to
the city limits and told never to re-
turn. In closing he moved that the
gathering proceed to take such action,
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1903-08-04

which motion was seconded by dozen
people.
Before the motion was put ]. w. B.
Smith. assistant district attorney, took
the floor and made speech against
mob violence. He spoke at consider
able length, dwelling upon the fact
that he had always done his duty in
upholding the law and prosecuting vio-
laters thereof whether they be the
most influential citizens of the town
or common miners. He said he rec
ognized in the citizens gathering to-
night the bone and sinew of the town
representing the social, moral and
business interests of the community.
but urged that they take no steps that
were not within the limit of the law.
He was interrupted by r. G. Bonney.
who asked if he was here as repre-
sentative of the union or If he had
been employed recently as counsel OF
the union. To both of these questions
the reply was in the negative. Other
citizens spoke in favor of the motion.
which finally carried unanimously.
Leaving the hall a procession almost
two blocks in length marched quietly
to the city jail. On nearing the jail
the crowd was repeatedly urged to re-
was opened and several of the inmates
came to the door In their shirt sleeves.
They were notified to put on their
coats and fall in line and did SO with
out any remonstrance. They were led
up Sixteenth avenue to Miner street,
the principal business street of the
city, and conducted thence east to the
city limits The remarkable part of
| the proceeding was that the most per-
feet order and quiet was preserved
throughout. Not a rough word or act
was indulged in toward the miners and
perfect order was preserved. Upon
reaching the city limits a number of
the leading citizens talked quietly to
the miners, stating plainly their rea-
SONS for the action and advising them
that it would not be best for them to
return. The departing men spoke of a
number of things they wished to send
for and some of them saying they were
leaving town without any money, a
considerable purse was raised They
were then formed in lock step and
started on their way. Guards were
kept at the east end of the city tonight.
Howard Tressidel, j. H. Crimmons
and A. D. Alcott all have families.
William Bates. ex-president of the
union. was taken to Georgetown by
Sheriff Sandberg on the evening train
with the two Italian suspects and will
be held pending a further investiga-
| tion. 1t is estimated that eighty per
cent. of the business interests of the
city were represented in the crowd
who escorted the miners out of the
| city.
