eighty-fiv men, women and children
dead, and perhaps forty more fatally
injured, with a property loss OF some
thing like 100000. !.
The death list Is yet imperfect, not all
the bodies having been recovered and
identified. Many OF them were mangled
beyond recognition, the only means Of
Identification being the records OF tho
two cotton mills. in which most Of the
victims were killed
The death-deallng storm appeared SUD

five storied brick factory OF the Gaines
Vile Cotton Mills; demolished almost two
hundred cottages, RACED two brick stores

be a. miracle the tornado's fury was
confined to the outskirts Of the city, the
main business and residence portion not
being touched. Torrents OF rain accom-
paned the wind but within five minutes
after It's first onslaught the sun was
shining upon scene OF 1eariui oesota-

All this talk that the union is dead is bun
combe There is no more reason why the
union should die than there is the Mine
Managers association should die. Both
have rights to organize if they want to and
the rights of one side are just as respectable
as the rights of the other.
In this age of consolidation and organiza-
tion labor will always have its organization
Just the same as the other side has its or
ganization. Labor may not always be
right in its contentious nor neither is the
other side always right.
There is happy medium to be sought in
all these affairs and that happy medium is
what both sides should seek.
Election day was all that could be asked
in the way of pretty day; it was ladies
day. all day. At no time in the history of
the city has the vote been as large as it was
Tuesday and no election was ever held more
quietly and orderly.
In another place we publish the figures
as they were presented by the men behind
the ballots.
George Riley will make good mayor.
He has the courage of his convictions is a
progressive fellow and knows the needs of
the city.
Jim Bradley would have made good
that two good men must be placed against
Idaho Springs siftings., 1903-04-11

Pleased to meet you Mayor Riley! Con-
gratulations to Clerk Brandstetter, Marshal
O'Rourke, City Attorney COLON, Treasurer
Robins and the entire councilmanic contin-
gent on the Citizens ticket.
1t was a clean sweep-a2 to shot. The
other side was out without taking the
count.
One man expresses it when he says: my
ticket read: Mayor, George Riley-vote
for one' l did it and it looks to me as if
all the rest just voted for one"
The vote was exceptionally heavy-with-
in very small per cent of the registration.
So much so that it was in strange contrast
with some of the other elections held in the
city.
1t is plainly apparent that the union did
not even vote its strength for its own ticket
and we trust that it has learned good les
son and that is "that no union as union,
has business in politics" As soon as the
people see that a union begins to desire to
take unto itself political as well as other
power they at once rebel.
In other words the union is not political
organization and should not be used as such
where that is an issue. The unions have
the right to vote as a unit for any party
principle or platform that will best serve
their interests but it was unfortunate that
the fight in the city should have taken the
shape it did.

each other where one is certain to lose out
Brandstetter, Collom, ORourke and all
the rest are finefellows- good business men,
good citizens and the city is to be congratu-
lated because it has a class of officials who
are as good as they could have been coined
for the various places.
To those who fell by the wayside riddled
with the volley of ballots from the opposit-
ion there is nothing but good that can be
said of them.
The retiring administration is entitled to
congratulation for the good work it has
done for the city. Mayor Trathen and the
council have given Idaho Spring an except
ionally strong administration. City Mar
shal o. Rourke could not be improved upon
and while aught was held against Mr..
O'Brien it is saying nothing against him to
say that he was defeated by a man whose
popularity is as we'll known as that of Mr..
O'Rourke
Royal Graham, chairman of the city cen
trail committee for the citizens ticket kept
his fighting clothes on all the time. The
fight was good one and he is entitled to
credit for the part he played.
Siftings is pleased because either of the
tickets would have suited it. When it
comes to non partisan affair they all look
alike.

The plans suggested in the event the bill is signed
by the governor are varied The place for the park
has been fixed, in measure, the very spot where
the discovery directly back of the Roberts
mill and about the center of the old placer tract.
This gives it a good locstssn and by sub-soiling
and tree planting it would become of the finest
places in the district and enough territory should be
secured to make it-what it ought to be.
Lafe Hanchett has donated to the city, to the
state rather, small tract that the exact spot
where the discovery made according to what

Widespread Electric Disturbance.

Electrical disturbances from far
apart quarters, extending from
this country to Europe, with bril-
liant aurora borcals display, were
reported last Saturday. The dis
turbances caused interruption and
in some cases complete cessation
of telegraphic aud telephone con
nections, affecting cable lines be.
tween Europe and New York and
telegraph and telephone lines to
Chicago and other points west of
New York. Chicago electricians
stated that heavy waves Of electric
force were passing through the
earth, paraly2lug the strength of
the currents in the wires.
Scientists assert that there is
some mysterious connection be-
tween an electrical storm such as

Sl8,000,0 900 Surplus Gone.

Washington, Oct. 3l.-To-day's
Treasury statement, which will
show conditions at the close of the
first four months of the fiscal year,
will exhibit startling contrast to
the statement issued year ago.
Then there was surplus of about
SlS, 500, 900. Now this surplus is
almost eliminated.
The statement Of October last
year showed $l3, 500, 900, together
with 1000, 900 of anticipated in
terest, making the total surplus
about one-third Of that for the en-
tire fiscal year, which was $j4 900
600. The surplus to day is 1888,
$50.
The wiping out Of the surplus is
explained by decreased receipts
and increased expenditures. Gus
tom receipts have declined about
IS, 900, 900, while there have been
increases in expenses of about
So ,000,0 900 for the navy, the same
sum for civil and miscellaneous and
a million for the army. Indian ex &.
pendtures fell off about half Il
million. This shows roughly the
reason for the difference in the
amount of the surplus.
The falling off of custom receipts
in September and October was
largely in the sugar and stee
schedules. There is also a falling
off in the importation of articles o.
luxury. 1t is predicted that thu
showing now made will result il
Congress insisting on greater econ
omy Republic.

Remarkable Growth.

The Disciples of Christ, i'll ses
sion in Detroit, announced during
their rally that their membership
hnd increased to 1900, 900, Il
growth not exceeded by any relig-
ious body America has ever known
the Roman Catholic not excepted.
A feature of their rally for Sunday,
the 18th ult., was the communion
service, at which a larger number
of persons received the bread and
wine than at any other time in the
history of any religious body.
Foreign Mission funds were shown
to have reached high water mark
in $4,000, and home mission
funds an equally high record. A
Sunday school conference was held
during the rally.

Scriptures in Portuguese.

The American Bible Society and
the British and Foreign Bible SO.
ciety are making Il new translation
Of the scriptures into Portuguese.
The work is being done in Southern
Brazil, for in the cities of Rio de
Janeiro, Santos, Porte Allegro and
Rio Grandc there are far stronger
protestant colonies than in Portu-
gal itself. although the last named
has recently made its religious
laws more liberal. The chief trans
lator is Rev. DR.. William Cabell
Brown, Virginian, who is head
of a theological seminary recently
established iu Rio Grunde do Sui.
The Rev. DR.. Brown, while au
American, is regarded ms one of
the first of Portuguese scholars.
He translated the English Book of
Common Prayer into Portuguese,
and new addition of that work is
just how being prepared by the
Bishop White Prayer Book So
ciety of Philadelphia, The Bible
translation will require three years.
