Postmaster General Payne
Issues Orders AboIishing
Useless Positions

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Postmaster
General Payne today issued an order
abolishing the position of physicians
in postoffices at the close of business
June 30 1908. This order wipes out a
small lists of officials, whose employ
ment, with specific authority of law,
has caused wide discussion in connec-
tion with the postoffice investigation.
Some at least of these Offices paid
S1700 a year and were sinecures. One
man was carried on the rolls of the
Washington Office for over a year at
that salary and had practically no
duties to perform. The Office finally
was abolished here and recently the
Postmaster General held that the en-
ployment of physicians should be al
lowed only at offices in cities of 500,-
900 or more population. The post
offices employing physicians up to the
close of the fiscal year which expired
June 30th, when the proclamation
took place, are New York, Chicago.

regiments of the national guard and
United States cavalry and artillery will
participate in the exercises.
The fiscal year of the United States
mint, just ended, was record breaker
in the number of coins, medals and dies
struck and in the increase in the pro-
duction was accomplished without ma
terial increase in expenses.
The system OF prohibition as provided
by the Watts law became operative in
North Carolina yesterday. The new law

A Narrow EsCap e

J. G. Hayden and family took walk
last evening and stopI ed for short Wis
it with a neighbor. Had they stayed
away few minutes longer they would
have probably been minus a home, and
at least would have had to secure new
set OF furnishings.
On leaving, Mr.. Hayden lighted a hall
lamp, leaving it, as he thought, turned
down sufficiently low. But-upon arriv-
ing home, the lamp was found lying on
the floor with brilliant blaze surround
ing it and just beginning to spread to-
ward the stairway. The flames were
quickly extinguished, and the only
damage done was to thick mat upon
which the lamp fell, and which saved
the carpet.
The supposition is that the fame OF
the lamp got high enough to melt the
solder holding the supporting wires of
the lamp which tell to the floor and ex-
poded. Mr. Hayden is congratulating
himself todoy on not having to collect
insurance.

Excitement Over Murder

Centralia, Wash, July 2.-The ex-
citement caused by the murder of Jas.
c. A. Parsons by Smith, last night,
is still intense and the people are
waiting intensely for news from those
who are searching for the murderer.
The suspicion that Smith was located
in the log cabin nearly caused the
death of an innocent man. Eight men
surrounded the cabin and so convinced
were they that Smith was inside that
they fired twenty-five shots at the
cabin. The last shot broke a window
pane and that brought the inmate of
the cabin to the door. He proved to
be Charles Matthews, an old deaf man.
the most harmless persons imaginable.
It was a wonder that Matthews was
not killed. He did not hear the shoot
ing, but the glass broken by the last
shot cut him on the cheek. and he
went to the door to see what caused
the wound.

THE HANNA
CATASTROPHE
Every Hour Adds to the HOr.
Or---the Awful Accident
EntdiIed

HANNA. Wyo., July 2.-Of 2S2 men
who went into the Union Pacific Coal
company's No. / mine Tuesday morn
ing 235 were killed by the explosion of
black damp. Most of the dead are Fin
landers and negroes.
Guards have been stationed today TO
keep the crowds as far away from the
slope as possible, especially the women.
One lone woman, whose husband per-
ished in the mine, sat at the top of the
slope all night, perfectly motionless,
with her eyes gazing downward into
the mine, apparently so much overcome
with grief that she was unconscious of
everything except the fate OF her hus-
band.
The startling information was made
tonight, from an experienced miner and
fire. fighter who penetrated the mine to
the sixteenth level, that the workings
below the seventeenth level are mass
of flames, and where few hours ago
it was believed that the rescuers would
soon reach the bodies of the entom bed
miners it now appears that the flames
will add horror to the already terrible
calamity and that the victims will be
burned.
United States Senator Clark of Evans

und children. There is hardly home
in Hanna that has not lost at least one

Caution and FrmneSs

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The rela-
items between the Russian and United
States governments have reached an
extremely delicate stage. Yesterday
there emanated from st. Petersburg a
semi-otticial statement in which it was
declared that, had President Roosevelt
forwarded to the Car a petition pro-
testing on behalf of the Jews of Amer
ica against the heartless massacres at
Kishinef. Russia wonld naturally have
known what to reply to such an attempt
at interference in her internal affairs. -"
But tonight the state department issues
a def to Russia by declaring, in an
authorized statement, that the delay in
presenting the petition is occasioned
solely because there were no signature S
to the paper.
The state department has been es-
pecially careful to act only in accoru-
ance with all requirements OF official
proDriety, but within the limits thus
laid down it will most certainly not hes
itate to give impression to the deepest
sympathy felt not only by the admins
tration, but by all the American people,
for the unfortunate Jews who have be, N
the victims in the recent apalling mas
sacres and outrages.
President Roosevelt declined to dis
cuss for publication the statement auth
orized by the Russian government. He
said that any presentation Of the posi-
tion OF this government properly ought
to come from the state department.
