A Million Every Month.

a million records every month
the Columbia Photograph Co.
has achieved the end for which
ii has long been striving-the
reduction in the price of it's
High Speed Moulded Cylindrical
Wax records from fifty cents,
each, to twenty five cents. Sim
ultaneOusly with this reduction
in price a new record, greatly
superior to any that has ever
been offered for sale is being
furniShed-a black, superhard-
ened record, both durable and
brilliant and combining sweet
ness and smOOthnesS with re-
markable volume. These re-
cords will fit all talking mach
ines using cylindrical records and
the facilities for manufacturing
them have been increased to an
extent that will enable the Col
umbia Photograph Co. to pro-
duce a practically limitless sup
ply.
While improved processes of
manufacture and the simplifying
of talking machine construction
have resulted in the price of
Graphophones being reduced,
from time to time, until they
are now sold at figures that
bring them within the reach of
all, the price of cylinder records
has, in the meantime, remained
at fifty cents each. For many
insuperable reasons it has never
been possible until now to sell
records at the popular price
that has finally been fixed for
them. But continued and un-
ceasing improvement in Colum-
bia facilities has, at last,
brought the output to a point
where it is possible to cut the
price in half while, instead of
impa1ring the quality of the
product to secure this end, Il
better article is to be furnished

the reduction in the price
The Columbia Photographs
Co., the pioneer and leader in
the talking machine art, was
the first to furnish really merl-
torious record for fifty cents
and while it's records are far
superior to those OF previous
years, the fact is admitted, on
all sides, that Columbia records,
in all stages Of their devclp-
ment, have always been the
best that were made. And this
is truer now than ever before.
While the superiority OF Col
umbia records would Justify
their sale at a higher price
than that Of any Competing
rec ord, their re .luced price means
that the purchaser is to have
the very best records ever manu-
featured and to have two OF them

Preparations have been made
with the utmost thOroughness to

reduction in The price of
cylindrical records to twenty-five

records, the factory of the Col

TOP WORKS OF SHAFT WRECKED

Pontiac, Ill, March 1S.-Three more
terrific explosions occurred at the Car
diff mines Sunday night and yester-
day, following that of last Thursday.
The nature OF the explosions remains
a mystery. Six miners were in the

plosions occurred. Men were sent be-
low at once to their aid and recovered
William Humphrey alive, but terribly
injured. The dead bodies of the two
other Bohemians were also recovered.
but three of the party are still buried
n the mines.
At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the
to- violent explosion of all occurred,
lowing out the top of the shaft and
wrecking the top works. Chief Me-
chanic Michaels was at the mouth Of
he pit and was SO seriously injured
hat he died three hours later. Anoth-
er explosion took place at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon, but with no fatalities.
The state mine inspector is at the
mine but is unable to give an explana-
ton of the disaster. The mine will be
flooded.

WAS SENT TO QUELL A DISTURB
ANCE AND A FIGHT
ENSUED.
THIRTY SHOTS ARE EXCHANGED
TWO ITALIANS ARRESTED AND
POLICE ARE LOOKING FOR
OTHERS.

St. Paul, March 1S.-Patrolman Jo-
and severely wounded at 9 o'clock last
night while attempting to quell a dis
turbance caused by riotous Italians on
Sibley street, between Fifth and Sixth
streets. Pedre Vallalla and John
Mannarino are under arrest and the
police are looking for others. The
wounded policeman is at st. ~Joseph's
hospital, where he was taken immedi-
ately after the shooting. 1t Is expected
he will recover.
The shooting was the beginning Of a
fierce battle between Patrolman Pug
lease and eight Italians, during which
thirty shots were fired. The fight be-
gan in front of the Grand hotel on
Sibley street, near Fifth street, and
the fusilade lasted for nearly five
minutes. The battle was waged across
Smith Park to Fifth street, thence
down an alley to Fourth, where the
last shots were fired. Patrolman Pug
lease, when the fusilade was opened
on him, drew his revolver and
Drove the Italians
before him, and, although severely
wounded, continued the pursuit to
Fourth street. He was reinforced by
Detectives O'Brien and O'Neil, the
first Of whom pursued the men to the
railway yards. Puglease walked to tie
Sherman hotel, Fourth and Sibley
streets, where the ambulance was
called.
The cause of the riot was detailed
by Joe Hoskins. proprietor OF the
Grand hotel, who witnessed the fight.
Four Italians, among whom were
Manniarino and Vallalla, rented a
basement room from him last fall,
where they entertained many friends.
They had been taking wood from him,
and yesterday he locked his woodshed
door. This enraged the Italians, and
last night several Of them gathered in
the basement room and raised a dis
turbance. Patrolman Puglease was
sen from his beat to stop the dis
turbance. His appearance on the
scene enraged the Italians, they
opened fire on him and a fierce battle
ensued.

INQUEST.
Desj Mans Daughter Most Interesting
Witness.

Witness.
Buffalo, N. Y, March Is. Miss
Marion Burdick, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of the late Edwin l.. Burdick,
was the most interesting witness at
the inquest before Judge Murphy yes
terday. Like Mrs. Hull, she volun-
teered no information. She answered
in monosyllables whenever possible.
She was not easily confused and there
was no sign of agitation or emotion
when the district attorney questioned
her closely regarding the events that
occurred at the time her father a
murdered. Nothing of Importance
was elected from her while she was on
the stand and the district attorney
finally gave her up in despair. DR..
William M. Macy, the family physi.
clan, and the first person to see the
dead body after the murderer covered
it up. was the first witness of the day.
DR.. Macy admitted that he told DR..
the medical examiner, that
if it was suicide, or looked suicidal, it
would be all the better for the family
to make it out a case of suicide. Later
he agreed with DR.. Rowland that the
theory was untenable.

poenaed in the forgery case against
Charles Howard, the so-called big
mitt man. Howard has employed able
counsel and is making a hard fight for
acquittal. The charge Of forgery in
the second degree is based on his CIV
ing an alleged victim a bogus check
on q New Paynesville bank as security
for the return of the money lost. How
ard explains that he did not give the
check as security, but having no card
gave him the check in order to furnish

Mississippi Rushing Through a Three
Quarter-MiIe Crevasse.

Mississippi Rushing Through q Three
Quarter-MiIe Crevasse.
Memphis, Tenn, March 18.-The st.
Francis levee gave way late yesterday
afternoon at Trice's Landing and the
waters Of the Mississippi are rushing
through q three-quarter-mile crevasse
in the embankment with a roar that
can be heard for miles. This is the
first break that has occurred in the
vicinity of Memphis, but the fact that
the water is still rising at a rapid rate
and that three other points on the Ar
kansas levee north of Memphis are in
a precarious condition lead to the fear
that later reports will tell of several
other serious ~crevasses.
At Pecan Point, Fogelman's Landing
and ST. Thomas, the flood is abreast of
the crown of the levees and hundreds
of men were working by lantern light
last night to
Save the Levees.
The engineers of the levee board
claim that the damage from the break
1T Trice's will not be as severe as
would have been the case had the
~reyasse occurred at any other point
on the embankment.
The river at Memphis shows 1877
feet on the gauge and is rising. This
is an advance Of a foot and two-tenths
in twelve hours, which is an extreme
increase with the river spread over
SO much country. In the city the stu
alton is the worst that has sc far been
reached. In North and South Mem
phis many homes and business houses
have been flooded and families driven
out. Street car traffic has practically
been suspended in North Memphis,
one bridge having been
Rendered Unsafe,
while others are threatened. Appeals
are coming into the city from all d.
rections for aid by those who have
taken refuge on high points along the
river and who are now surrounded by
water. All the local packets have gone
strictly into the rescue business, but
their capacity is completely overtaxed
and they are unable to respond to all
aCA10Auo lA0t olO ASSClNCo. All ooy
cargoes Of refugees and their property
were discharged at the wharf here and
there are several hundred destitute
persons in the city who are being
cared for by charity.
Reports from Natchez also tell OF .
gap two miles wide being cut in the
~ffteen-fpot embankment of the Texas

Why Germany Will Ask for the Same

Berlin, March 1S-Germany, as soon
as the reciprocity treaty between
Cuba and the United States is ratified,
will ask both the Cuban and United
States governments for identical priv
ileges. Intimations have been made
that other governments intend also to
request the same treatment. While
annoyed at the prospect of the United
States trade having lower tariffs In
Cuba than that of Germany no one
supposes that even a collective protest
on the part. of the continental coun-
tries would cause either the United
States or Cuba to recede. But Ger
many's position is to be defined clear
ly, so that the United States may not
complain when Germany gives other

that the United States should be given
the initiative in that respect, and the
Republicans urging that the interests
of this country are sufficiently safe

it stands. The treaty will be ratified

without amendment. On the final bal
lot many of the Democratic senators
