The news comes from Denver that
the committee representing the min
ers evicted from the Telluride. Colo.
district, by an organization OF bust
ness men has abandoned the attempt
to appeal to the governor for protec-
ton, after trying in vain for three
days to obtain an audience with him.
The members Of the committee have
departed for Ouray, where the de-
ported men are making preparations
to march to Telluride, accompanied
by an armed escort provided by the
miners unions OF Ouray, Silverton,
Durango and Ophir. AS the citizens

Fairfax is proud as Lucifer. What
did he want?'
The Duke of Buckingham has been
sent to the Tower-where he ought to
have been sent long ago; but he is
married to the daughter of Fairfax,
and the naughty Lord General went
to see Cromwell about the matter. He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking-
hams arrest should be retraced. And
Cromwell told him that IL the offense
were only against his own life, the
Duke could go free that hour, but that
he could not pardon plotters against
the Commonwealth. 1t grieved him to
the heart to say these words, and
Fairfax saw how i'll and how troubled
of courtesy; he turned abruptly and
cooked his hat, and threw his cloak
under his arm in that insolent way
he was ever used to when in his tenn

a man that has been struck in the face

Indeed, this interview with Fairfax
seemed to be the last HEAVYWEIGHT he
could carry.
The next day he went to his desk
and began to write, but speedily and
urgently called for Israel Swaffham.
When he answered the call, Oliver
was in great physical agony, but he
took some papers from drawer and
said, When l am no longer here,

Ottumwa, Aug. 24.-While sitting in
q stupor on a bridge a short distance
north OF Eldon yesterday afternoon
Nathan Drake, aged rs years, was
struck by a Rock Island passenger
train and instantly killed. The acct
dent occurred about one and one-half
miles from Eldon, where the morning
Rock Island passenger train was
wrecked in 1899.
Drake, who was one of the early set
tiers Of Washington township, was
formerly n prosperous farmer. About
ten years ago he failed and since that
time he has been living with his son,
Jack Drake, who is a farmer and lives
short distance north of Eldon. Drake
has been addicted to intoxicating liq-
uors for years and was on his way
from Eldon to his sons farm at the
time OF the accident.
1t is supposed that he reached the
bridge and feeling sleepy sat down to
rest on the wooden sleeper that binds
the ends of the wooden ties together
outside the steel rails. 1t is stated that
he was leaning with his head on the
rail. There is a heavy curve just be-
fore the approach to the bridge is
reached which prevents the engineer
from having clear view OF the track
except from a short distance. AS soon
as Drake was seen an effort was made
to stop the train and the whistles were

IoWA's PROSPECTS GOOD.
Attendance at State University Prom
ises to Show an Increase.

Iowa City, Aug. 24.-The executive
committee of the board of regents OF
Iowa University, In session here elected
j. w. Wilson, of Orrvilie, California,
assistant in surgery in the college of

been appointed assistant in materia

Dean Currier of the college of liberal
arts thinks that there will be a mater
ial increase in the attendance at the
university this fall and that 1t will get
over the old mark. He bases his
judgment on the number of inquiries
regarding the courses of study, which
are received by him. The reason for
this prospective increase may be trac-
ed to the efforts which are being put
forth by all who are connected with
the university to bring new students.
There has not been such campaign
made In many years, and it is evidently
bringing results.
