Australian Mine 5000 Feet Deep.

What is believed to be the deepest
gold mine in the world is being worked
at Bendigo, Australia. The mine in
question, which is called the New
Chum Railway Mine, has sunk it's main
shaft to depth of 5000 feet. or only
GO feet short of three-quarters of a
mile. The chief problem is how to
keep the tunnels and general work
ings cool enough for the miners to
work in at such a depth. 1t is usual
liz about 10S degrees, and. to enable
the men to work at all. a spray OF
cold water let down from above has to
be kept continually playing on the
bodies-naked from the waist upward
of the miners. Even then they can
not work hard. or they would faint
from exhaustion.-Leisure Hour.

THE NATIONAL GAME
EShiSitiOA wiII be Given Sunday of
 Hew It Ought to be Played. :.

The Phoenix baseball team E1R Mas dertaken to bring the Prescott team to Phoenix for match game next Sun day afternoor and in order to strika a proper financial balance. il is quite na- turalFy hoping for q liberal patronage by the sport loving public. The game will be played at 'Eastlake park next sunday afternoon and will be promptly called at 3:30 o'clock, city time.
 This enterprise would not have bsen undertaken had the Phoenix boys not been thoroughly convinced that they could give an exhibition that will be well worth the money. The Phoenix team is made up now of some skiItul players, some of whom have "dona time on the big leagues and others who might have travelled in the same soCie- ty had they picked it out for pro fession. The team is under the cap taincy of Farmer Walden" whose professional reputation was made in roofing and boosting for the Glendale team, that came as near making Phoa- nix ashamed of herself as any aggre- -atiOn in late years. Farmer Walden is not a professional, but he has the fac ulty of getting in front of the ball at the right time that is entirely credit able. Loman, Hartwell and Wemp have good records in the box and behind the bat. Avery, Sullivan, Davis. Parish and Bartlett are all picked men and have earned their spurs
 The Prescott champions are not so well known in Phoenix personally. but they have a team record up among the pines that would be calculated to make less confident players than the Phoenix team a triie nervous. They have d practice that has almost become chron- ic with them, of skinning alive the var ious teams that have had the temerity 10 stand up before them. The Phoe- nix boys argue that it will be a good thing for Prescott to have this habit jclted a little and it will be somewhat 10 tLeir liking to be there at the jolt ing.
 Each team has a well defined am- bition 60 gain victory. but above al both teams desire to put up a game that will be a credit to the national sport and for which they will not be back ward in taking money at the gate.
 The lineup of the Prescott team was received yesterday and below is given the battle array of both sides:

STORM SWEEPS PHILADELPHIA.
Schools and Churches Struck by Light
 nina and Traffic Suspended.

Philadelphia, June IA terrific cleo tric storm this morning swept over Philadelphia. One man was killed by lightning. churches and schools were struck. telephone and telegraph wires were put out of business and traffic was suspended by a flood of rain.
 Henry Greenfield of North Ninth street had his house struck by light ming. The bolt set fire to the awning. Greenfield crawled out on a galvanized tin cOTnice to extinguish the flame. As he did so another bolt struck an electric light wire which hit the cornice on which Greenfield was standing. Green field was hurled to the street and died little later.

FIRE IN JERUSALEM.
The Burton Worlds Fair Concession
Narrowly Escapes Destruction.

st. Louis. Mo-, July 5.-Fire broke
out at 2:20 o'clock this morning in the
kitchen of the American cafe in the
Jerusalem concession at the Worlds
fair and for more than an hour threat
ened Festival hall, the West pavilion
and the whole Jerusalem exhibit. After
considerable excitement among the
Turks, Arabs and other Oriental peo-
pies who We're asleep when the fire
broke out it was gotten under control.
The American cafe, which is in two
wings and elaborately furnished was
burned out in both wings. The loss is
estimated at $4,000.
The restaurant was a two story
structure erected of staff 1t cost
about $40, 900. The equipment was val
ued at $4,000. 1t is total loss.
The cause of the fire is not known.
The widest excitement prevailed all
over the Jerusalem enclosure by the
time the firemen arrived. The sounds
of shots fired by the watchmen had
awakened the 700 persons who occupied
the various buildings of the exhibit.
Without waiting for clothes many
jumped from the windows or rushed
into the streets, half clad. Others
packed their trunks and threw them
from the windows. After them their
owners jumped. None sustained more
than slight bruises. A Syrian who
lives within the enclosure was struck
by a trunk and knocked unconscious.
His injuries perhaps are fatal.

BOOKS ARE OPEN
Fifteen Hundred People in Line
at Bonesteel
For Registration in the Rosebud
Land Entries.

Bonesteel, S. D, July 5.-When the
government registration books for
entrymen on the Rosebud. Indian res
ervation were opened today there
were about 1900 people waiting in
line. Wet and steaming under the hot
sun, the homeseekers, many of whom
had remained in line all night during
a rainstorm, sat on the ground and
played cards and ate lunches which
they purchased from vendors passing
up and down the line. Many of
them were women.
]. S. Barnes of New York city, was
the first man to be registered, having
taken his position at the hall door
Monday afternoon. I'VE will register
this crowd like a whirlwind," said
Commissioner Richards. "Of course
others will take their places as each
train arrives, but we hope to keep
ahead of the crowd. 1 am more than
we'll pleased at the good arrange
ments for handling the crowds and at
the orderly condition of everything"
Special trains brought in several
hundred additional people today.

rate. This contract is signed by Ar
thur Capper, president Capital Publish
ing Co.; w. B. Robey, secretary, and on
the part of the city by w. S. Bergund-
thai, mayor.
In checking over the bill for De-
cember. 1903, one ordinance is
charged $3.50, when the contract
price is $24-9O. Two other ordinances
printed on December % are charged
5000. The contract price is 40.
Another ordinance is charged $1,000,
when the contract price is only $1.30.
This is apparently an error, and in
the total bill for the month the Capital
makes discount of $12.10, leaving
$166.53, which amount the council
paid. The amount the council should
have paid was $1,000, less allowance
for leading" or spacing, which should
not be permitted, aggregating $5.25,
making the actual net bill $685., in
stead of $166.53
The facts stated above, of course,
will be investigated by the council. 1t
is evident, if the overcharge runs about
uniform, that the city has overpaid in
the one year just past fully $4,000.
This is one of the indications which
goes to show that Topeka does not need
an occupation tax so mucn as it needs
to see that it gets its moneys worth
for the service for which it pays.
The council will, of course, have an
examination made of the printing bills
and will compel the Topeka Capital to
pay DdcK 10 the CITY the amount IL has
unlawfully taken.
There is no doubt in the State Jour
nails view that the city councilmen will
find that they can save the city many
thousands of dollars by simply insisting
upon the simple rule of getting what it
pays for.
1t is well known that in the street de-
partment a city is apt to be f1eeced;
the men are not so particular about
working their eight hours as they are
for a firm or business corporation. The
estimate the council makes for this de-
partment alone for next year is $S4, ,OO0
Why not save several thousand here, and
insist that the men in this department
fully earn their wages? Street Commits
sioner Snyder will undoubtedly insist
upon better work if the council de-
mands it of him. He is probably one of
the best men the city has had in this
department, but the city needs to tell
him that it is behind in its accounts
and ne has got to get more work for
the money, or rather the same amount
of work for a good deal less money.
The same thing can be done in other
departments, and the odious and un-
Just occupation tax may be laid on the
table or kicked under it,

CHILLY AT

Less Than 200 Delegates in
Populist Convention.
Only % States Represented
When Called to Order.
VISITORS WERE FEW.
Ridgely Made Member of COM
mittee on Resolutions.
Nobody Wants Nomination Ex-
cept Williams of Indiana.

Springfield. ILL.,, July 5.-When the
Populist national convention was
called to order there were fewer than
200 delegates in the hall. some failing
to appear. Citizens of Springfield took
no interest in the convention, and
there were not more than 75 persons
present besides the delegates. Mayor
Deveraux, who was scheduled to ex-
tend a word of welcome. did not at
tend nor did he send a representative
or an explanation of his absence.
There were hundreds of empty seats
in the state arsenal Only 3 states
were represented in the convention.
The convention was called to order
by Vice Chairman j. H. Edmiston of
Nebraska and the call for the conven-
ton was read by Jo Parker of Ken
lucky, national chairman. L. H. We'll
Ter of Iowa was made temporary
chairman and Charles Q. Defrance of
Nebraska temporary secretary. After
the temporary organization had been
perfected the convention listened to
addresses by William V. Allen Of Ne
braska and Rev. A. E. Nelson of st.
Louis. 1t was 5 o'clock before the
speech making was over, and after
more delay in the appointment of va
a recess until o'clock.
The following were made members
of the committee on resolutions: At
large, ]. H Edmiston. Nebraska,
chairman; Frank w. Overs, Colorado;
S. d. Burdick, Indian Territory; z. w.
Ridgely, Kansas; VIM Clancy. Mon
tana; John S. Allan, Oklahoma.
The committee did not meet until
late last night. Today nominations
will be made. Only three names are
mentioned now in connection with the
nomiration for president-W. V. Allen
of Nebraska, Samuel Williams of In
diana and Thomas E. Watson of
Mr.. Allen refused to enter into a
scramble for the nomination and inti-
mated that he would not accept the
honor if there was going to be any
contest over it. He wants the nomi-
nation to come to him unanimously.
Watson is in a similar state of mind,
to the effect that he does not want to
be the standard-bearer for the Pop
ulists this year.
Williams of Indiana is leaving moth
ing undone to capture the nomination,
and his friends say that if he cannot
get first place on the ticket he is will
ing to take second.
While the platform is not complet-
ed, some of the prominent men have
made an outline of it. 1t is said for
mer senator Allen will have more to
say about the platform than any other
person. The sentiment favors the
adoption of the Omaha platform Of
1892, with pIanks for postal savings
banks and initiative and referendum.
The committees on credentials and
resolutions adjourned at q late hour
last night until this morning.

Springfield. ILL.,, July 5.-When the
