Frank j. Hagenbarth of Spencer
Idaho, the new president Of the Ma
tional Livestock association, and one
of the presidential electors of Idaho,
in an interview in Chicago, is quoted

pose of securing better understand
ing of the peculiar conditions affect

where such action is found to be for
the benefit of the whole industry; to
encourage better organization within
the various branches; to bring before
congress and the governmental de-
partments the requirements and needs
Of the livestock industry, and to af-
ford clearing house and establish a
of interests for the indus
try. Each branch or interest con-
nected with the livestock industry

A special from Burnett, Wash.
brings the news Of one OF the most
terrible calamities that has ever
blighted the mining industry in the
state OF Washington, occurring in the
Burnett coal mine. Without a mo-
ment's warning at least eleven lives
were snuffed out and it is believed
that the death list will total fifteen.
OF these unfortunate victims eight are
men OF families while the rest were
unmarried.
The cause OF the explosion has not
been definitely ascertAined and opin-
ions vary. BY some the theory is adj
yanced that fire damp is responsible
for the disaster, but this Will not be
known until an investigation has been
held. The Burnett mine is owned by
the South Prairie Coal company.
At the time of the accident there
were about forty men at work. Just
prior to the fatal explosion some OF
the miners had assembled to the sur
face and others, more fortunate than
the victims, were able to make their
way to safety after the terrible blast
which shook the neighboring territory
like an earthquake.

ter at Hazen. Nevada. has been sem
fenced to serve a term OF fourteen
years in the Carson penitentlary for

His crime was one of the most foul
over committed In the state OF Ne

Judge severely reprimanded the pris-
oner. The evidence in the case showed
that Lawrence, with the purpose OF
numbering Garrison. enticed him into
the desert near Hazen and there shot
him. The first shot entered Garrisons
neck. and he fell TO the ground. His
assailant then emptied his revolver

ELoPEs WITH AN AUSTRIAN
ARMY OFFICER.

Berlin. Sept. Princess Louise OF
Coburg, daughter of the King of the

scandal in European royal circles
seven years ago and who has since

she has been taking the cure. 1t is
presumed that the princess, in the
company of Mattasitch, is seeking to
gain ar asylum where she will be
safe from recapture. The escape of
the princess was accomplished in a
mysterious and romantic manner
Ladders and a swift automobile were
brought into play to effect her release
from the hotel where she had been i'm
INJURED almost as a prisoner and to
convey her to some refuge, regarding
the location of which nothing is
known. Not the slightest trace of the
whereabouts of the pair has been dis
covered and nothing is known beyond
the fact that the princess and another
guest of the hotel, believed to have
been M~attasitch, have disappeared
and with them the Jewels of the prin.
cess and an automobile.

lRlsHMEN GROW EXCITED.
United Irish League Convention Ha.
a Lively Discussion.

New York. Sept. Much excite.
ment and disorder attended the dis
cussion of a resolution to increase the
membership of the executive commit
tee at the. convention of the United
Irish League of America Wednesday.
The proposition was to increase the
committee from 5 to 100, and trouble
began when John F. Ryan of Phila-
delphia said that New York should
not have two representatives on the
executive committee, when Boston and
other cities had given more to the gen.
eral fund than, New York had given.
Delegate O'Coppor of Elmira, N. Y,
sharply resented Mr.. Ryan's attack on
the Irishmen of New York state and
the convention was soon in an uproar.
After great disorder the proposed
amendment al defeated and the ex-
citement subsidized.
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to routine business and to the
adoption of a platform pledging allie
glance to the cause of Irish national
independence. In the evening John
Redmond delivered an address.
