"ScrupuIOus Conscience"

The Burlington Bulletin prints
the following story:
II. Il. r. Wood, treasurer of the
Chicago & Alton railway, was sur
prised and pleased when he found
in his mail yesterday the following
letter from st. Louis:
Herein $50, currency, to pay
any possible old debts we may owe
your company. This mail sent
$50 currency to general manager,
Chicago, for same use. Please see
that this 800 gets into the proper
channel and confirm same with
him. -
The letter was written on per-
fectly plain paper and the only
signature was "Scrupulous Con-
science" While Mr.. Wood was
examining the letter for a clew to
the writer his telephone rang
and this conversation ensued;

Corn has reached 81 a bushel in
the Victor neighbOrhOod, says the
Paris Appeal. At least that is the
price a young man paid for two
bushels last Friday. The corn was
grown by Steve DOernellas and was
not considered extra good until
Squire Browning, whose position
as school teacher and Justice of the
peace makes him fine judge of
such things, determined IFS value.
When first discovered the corn
was growing in the field. 1t was
then transferred to the barn. Next
time it was seen it was in a two
bushel sack upon a young mans
back. This is what made it so val
liable. He could not satisfactorily
account for his possession of the
corn and was assessed IS to satisfy
the peace and dignity of the state,

TARIFF REVISION OPPOSED
PRESIDENT A1ANDoNs IDEA OF
CALLING EXTRA SESSION
IN THE SPRING.

Washington, Dec. 8. - Presiders
Roosevelt is comforting daily witt
members of both the senate and the
house of representatives on the SUBJ
ject of tariff revision and now the
work shall be accomplished. He has
found that strong opposition exists to
consideration of the subject by con-
gress at an extraordinary session to
be held next spring and it can be said
that the idea of calling an extraor
binary session for next spring prac-
ucally has been abandoned.
While no decision yet has been
reached regarding the revision of the
tariff it is pretty well understood now
that if revision should be decided upon
an extraordinary session Of congress
will be called to meet next fall. The
subject will be taken up at that session
and it's consideration will probably be
taken up and concluded at the regular
session next December. This arrange
ment, it is believed, will enable con-
gress to dispose of the tariff question
at comparatively early date in the
regular session.

FIFTEEN men ARE KILLED
FlREDAMP RESPONSIBLE FOR DIS.
ASTER ~ BURNETT (WASH.)
COAL MINE,

Burnett, Wash, Dec. 9.-Ry en- ex.
plosion in the Burnett coal mine, with,
out a moMent's warning, at least
eleven lives were snuffed out and ii
is believed that the deaths will total
fifteen. Eleven burnt and mangied
corpses have been recovered. OF these
unfortunate victims eight are men OF
family, while three were unmarried.
There is known to be at least tour
other miners in the shaft, but it was
deemed unsafe to continue the rescue
work and the effort to rescue them vas
abandoned before midnight. While
there is slight hope that these may
still be living they have practically
been given up for lost.
1t is believed that firedamp was
responsible for the disaster, but this
will not be known until an investiga-
ton has been held.
The Burnett mine is owned By the
South Prairie Coal company and is To-
Gated about a quarter of mile east OF
the depot at Burnett.
At the time OF the accident there
were about forty men at work. Just
prior to the explosion some OF the
miners had assembled to the surface
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.
Two workmen were rescued badly
injured, but it is believed they will
recover.
One more body was recovered from
the mine at Burnett during the day.
This makes twelve recovered. 1t is
said that four other bodies will be
found before night, making sixteen
persons dead in all. Ventilation has
been established and is working salts
factorily, but it is not believed thai
any of the men will be rescued alive.

Il cannot answer that, but it looks

Judge Washburn's charge to the jury
was vigorous In the extreme. The
Judge called attention to the statutes
covering various offenses and called
upon the members of the jury to labor
diligently to discover if the laws had
been violated. He did not mention
specific crimes which are supposed to
have been committed

County Prosecutor Kee1er Is uncer-

because he does not know whether
the notes in question were signed in
this county, in I4orain county, O., or

this question the prosecutor has
