A DOZEN MINERS
SENT TO ETERNITY
Eight or Ten Others Injured By an
Explosion.
RESULT OF DASTARDLY PLOT
The Victims Were NOn-uniOn Miners
Who Hnd just Come on work
In the Mines at Inde-
pendencc, Col.

Cripple Creek. Col, June 6.-Twelve
miners were instantly killed and eight
or ten others badly injured by an ex-
plosion which occurred after midnight
at the independence station of the
Florence & Cripple Creek railroad The
explosion, apparently, was the result of
a dastardly plot against the non-union
miners on the night shift at the Shurt-
loft, Findlay & Lost Dollar mines, who
had just finished work and were about
to return to their homes. These men
had no warning, whatever of their i'm
pending fate.
The explosion occurred beneath the
platform on which they were standing
hurting many Of them high into the
air, destroying the adjoining depot and
rending a great hole in the earth.
Later, detectives found the machine
which set off the dynamite. under the
platform. 1t consists Of revolver and
300 feet of steel wire. The revolver
was placed underneath the platform,
close to the powder. The other end of
the wire was fastened to a chair leg
which was used as a lever from the
curbing of the Delmonco property.
The whole district is up in arms over
the catastrophe and danger of further
trouble is feared. A number of fist
fights have already occurred Guns will.
doubtless soon be brought into play If
conditions remains as they are.
1t is believed that the crime thus per-
petrated will sound the death knell of
the Western Federation of Miners in
this district.

ROBBERS AT WORLDS FAIR
The German Colonial Exhibit Rob-
med of u Thousand Dollars
Worth of Gold and Jewels.

st. Louis, June Gold and precious
Jewels, to the value of 81 900, were
stolen from the German colonial ex-
hibit section of the Palace of Agri-
culture at the Worlds fair between
closing time Saturday night and Sum
day morning There is now clew to
the robbers, and reward of 5000 has
been offered by the German imperial
commissioner for the return of all the
jewels or the arrest and conviction of
the thieves.
The thief or thieves made almost a
clean haul of all the jewels in the ex-
hibit, leaving but one garnet behind.
As the light about the place was very
dim, this probably was an oversight.
In all 1l5 pieces Of jewelry were
stolen from the exhibit. The disap-
pearance of the gems was discovered
early Sunday morning, when the spe-
cial guards, provided by the German
commission to watch the section, ar
rived at their posts in the Palace OF
Agriculture.

"Doncner wantcr drink" Bob hailed

The Boil Weevll Quarantine.

The boil weevil quarantine in Mis-
sssippi established by Prof. Glenn
W. Hcrrick, the State entomologist,
is causing the railroads considerable
worry, owing TO the impediments 10
traffic from Texas, both on freight
and passenger business.
The Mississippi provisions against
freight carried from the districts of
Texas infected with the boil wcevil
are very rigid, and at the urgent
request of the railroads, Prof. Her
rick has modified the restrictions
somewhat, so as not 10 unnecessarily
hamper traffic. The quarantine
against Texas grain has been amend
ed so far as oats is concerned. This
action was taken in order 10 pre-
serve the trade between Texas pro-
ducers and Mississippi consumers.
The passenger departments of the
roads entering Mississippi manifest
much uncasiness over the embargo
against hand baggage from the in
focied districts. Section 4 of the
Mississippi quarantine regulations
reads as follows:
"No common carrier. person, firm.
corporation, partnership or associa-
tion shall bring into or carry through
the State of Mississippi any baggage,
bedding, clothing or mattresses
stuffed with corn shuck, hay, straw
or cotton or any other material liable
to contain the boil weevil. from any
of the counties, parishes or places in
the States of Texas and Louisiana
where the boil weevil may exist"
This provision is giving the pas
senger traffic officials as much worry
as the freight restrictions are giving
the freight officials. 1t is claimed
by the passenger men that the em-
barge against hand baggage is too
severe, and the matter will be taken
up by the officials with the NlissiS-
sippi authorities. The railroad men
say that they realize the gravity of
importing boil weevils into a non-in
fected State, but that there is no
likelihood whatever of the insects be-
ing carried in hand baggage which
contains merely the personal wear
ing apparel of travellers.

DID MRS. BAILEY SHOOT HIM?
Louis Miller Dead, in Chicago, as the
Result of Bullet Wound Received
in Mrs. Bailey's Room.
the Shooting, when She Called
at Wesley Hospital.

Chicago June When Mrs. Rebec-
ca Bailey called at the Wesley hospital
to see her fance, Louis Miller, who had
been taken TO the institution probably
fatally wounded by bullet, she was
arrested on the charge of shooting him.
At the time of her arrival the man was
making his ante-mortem statement ac-
cusing her, and the police were search
ing for her. With Mrs Bailey was
Mrs, Sophia Grabner, who was held
IS witness of the shooting Mrs. Bail
ey and Miller were to have been mar
ried within week Miller died later.
The shooting took place In Mrs
Bailey's apartments. and it was foul
hours later before the police were in
formed The man was found by Mrs.
c, G. Snyder, who declares he had shot
himself. Mrs. Bailey had fed from the
house,
The police found the apartments de-
serted Mrs. Bailey and Mrs Grabner
could not be found 1t was learned
that the woman had rented the apart
;nents few days before, and had given
the name of Mrs Miller"
The theory of the police is that Mrs.
Bailey shot Miller while in a jealous
rage because of his failure to name a
definite day for the wedding ceremony.
Little is know OF. Mrs. Bailey's life
prior to the death of her husband, Gen.
S. G Bailey, who was member Of
the staff of the Wesley hospital and
a lecturer at the hospital clinics Her

Astonlshed, Not SURPRISED.

This was told as a new story In the
smoking room of an uptown apart
ment house few nights ago, says the
New York Times.
Noah Webster was as might natur-
ally be supposed, stickler for the
correct use of English, and he had
frequent occasion to take exception to
Mrs Webster's use--or, as he termed
1t, misuse-of words On one occa-
sion Webster happened to be in tho
dining room alone when very pretty
housemaid entered. Noah, being
somewhat susceptible to feminine
charms, according to the chroncler
walked over to the girl, put his arms
about her waist, and kissed her
squarely on the mouth Just at this
moment Mrs. Webster entered the
room, gasped, stood aghast, and in
a tone of horror exclaimed:
"Why, Noah, am surprised"
Whereupon Mr. Webster, coolly and
calmly, but with every evidence Gf dis
gust, turned upon her.
How many times must ] correct
you on the use Of simple words?' he
remarked. "You mean, madam, that
you are astonished |, madam, ! am

Condition Of Crops.

The Mississippi department of the
climate and crop service issued the
following summary last week:
The mean temperature for the
week was slightly above normal.
Showery weather prevailed the last
four days of the week and in some
of the southern counties the rain
fall was heavy, while in many CEN
tral and northern counties it was
very light,
There is more or less complaint
of poor stands of crops and slow
growth of vegetation over the north
crn portion of the State and in some
of the southwest counties, due to the
prolonged dry weather, but on the
whole crops, although small and
quite backward, are clean, well cul-
tiyated and have generally been ma
terially benefited by the warmer and
showery weather. The improvement
in cotton is quite marked in many Of
the southern counties, but on the
other hand some fields of late plant
ed cotton in the northern counties
have failed to germinatc for want OF
sufficient moisture. Stands Of early
cotton range from fair to excellent !;
chopping out is about completed
over the southern portion of the
State and is well advanced north !;
lice are still damaging in some
southwestern counties. Corn con-
tinues small for the season, but it
is being laid by north and has begun
to tassel and silk south. Oat harvest
continues the crop is fair to good
south, but poor north. Sugar cane
is doing well. In some localities peas
are being planted and sweet pota-
toes set out. Minor crops are suf-
fering for rain in many places. To
mato shipments have commenced
from the south. Pastures are poor
and there is much complaint Of
scarcity of stock water

Making Good Headway.

There appears no let-up in the
campaign of Prof. Whitfield for a
lengthening of the terms of the rural
schools. The statement comes that
the idea is making much progress,
and large number of the counties
are said to be sure to lcngthen their
school terms before the opening OF

Deficit In Prospect.

The vaults of the State treasury
now contain less than $l50,000, and
a deficit is Immediately in prospect
unless the payment of the scmi-an-
nual distribution Of the school fund
is deferred for few weeks. The
school fund distribution. amounting
to $ilG,G66.66, is payable, according
to law, during the month Of June,
but there will not be enough money
in the vaults during the month to
meet the payment, and posponement
o. the distribution is inevitable. 1t
will not cause the State any fnan-
cial embarrassment, however, as the
money is not needed by the public
schools until the latter part of the
summer, or just before the opening
cl the scholastic term. Early in July
