WARS fEARfuI CosI.
Have you paid for your REPUBLIcA,

In these days of wars one cannot re-
frain from thinking how much good
could be done were the vast sums ex-
pended in carrying on the conflicts
used in efforts to build up the world in
other ways Some figures have been
given to the public regarding the cost
of the Russian-Jspanese disturbance
which viii startle those who do not
think of the immense amount of mon
ey needed TO tide a country over a
clash such as that between Japan and
the Russian empire. The compiler of
the figures is Count Okuma, leader of
the progressive party in Japan. If ii
continues for two years, he figures that
it win cost Japan a billion, including
loans and all expenses. Russia's bill
he estimates at one and one-half to
twice as much This would make the
per capita cost $50 for the japanese
and only something more than half
that for the Russians. the Japanese
population being put at 80, 900. 600 and
the Russian at 130, 900, 900. The Rus
sian Indebtedness before the war was
$245 and the japanese but 81. 73
With the war cost added Russia s bur-
den would be about thirty-ssven dol,
lars and Japan's $24 73 Should the
war end even now it will be years be-
fore either Japan or Russia can recov-
er from the effects. Japan will be
forced to raise $3.50, 900. 600 next year,
<75 900, 900 OF which viii have to be
borrowed abroad, which will tend to
depreciate Japanese securities. Rus.
sia's credit and taxing powers are al
most exhausted and the corruption in
administration there makes war times
exceptionally hard on the country:
treasury. After it is all over will
either Russia or Japan have won ter,
rltory or honor enough to pay for mer
and money sacri6ced1 How gladly
universal peace win be hailed

HONOR
.COnferredUpOn
Miss Butler
Made a Member of
the Faculty
OF A COLLEGE
Will Teach Voice and
Piano Pupils
In Illinois College of Music
Wins Scholarship Over
40 Others.
OF A COLLEGE

Merited honor has just been con-
one of Bellefontaine' sweetest singers.
Miss Butler, who recently completed a
four-years' course in the New Englsrd
conservatory of music at Boston but
VINO has been In Chicago for the past
several weeks, has written to her pa
rents here that she has been chosen
member of the Faculty of the Illinois
College of Music in that city. Miss
Butler since going to Chicago has been
instructing a class of nine voice aud
piano pupils. One little miss who was
especially talented came under the at
tention of Professor Edwards. of the
Illinois college. and he called to see
her regarding her entering the school
as pupil. He learned that the little
lady was already pupil of Miss But
ler, of Ohio. Professor Edwards called
TO see the little lady's teacher and
heard her sing. He was delighted with
her efforts and engaged her at oncs as
a teacher Of piano and voice in the
college. Professor Edwards remarked
that he had no vocal teacher to equal
Miss Butler in his college and that she
would be credit to any faculty. Miss
Buffers friends and admirers here are
delighted to learn of her good fortune.
That her musical ability has been
put to good use while Miss Butler has
been in Chicago is to be seen from the
fact that recently she entered a test be-
fore the Faculty of the Chicago College
of Music. the leading musical institu-
tion in the west. and was awarded a
scholarship over forty other contest
ants In addition to her duties in the
Illinois college she will study under
the professors in the Chicago college
Both these institutions are high up in
musical circles aud Miss Buffers
friends await anxiously further news
of her advancement in her chosen line
of work.

Terrible Fatality in
a Tunnel at
PORT HURON.
Heroic Effort to Res
CueUnfOrtundte.
Accident Happened in the Sub.
way Between Port Huron
and Sarnia.

Port Huron, Mich, Oct. 10.-Six en-
ployes of the Grand Trunk railway
were suffocated to death by coal gas
early yesterday in the st. Clair tunnel
which runs under the St Clair river
from Port Huron to Sarnia, Ontario. A
coal train broke in two while passing
through the tunnel and three of the
train crew were suffocated while part
of the train lay stalled in the tunnel;
the engineer lost his life when he re-
turned and endeavored to push the
stalled cars back to safety and two
other rescuers perished in vain at
tempts to penetrate the gaseous at
mosphere of the great tube.
The dead: A. S. Begg, Port Huron,
superintendent of terminals. Engi-
neer John Coleman, Port Huron. Con-
ductor ]. B. Simpson, Sarnia, Ont.
Conductor ID. T. Tinsley, Sarnia. Ont.
brakeman Thomas McGrath, Sarnia,
Ont. Brakeman d. A. Gillis, Sarnia,
Ont.
The train which entered from the
American end of the tunnel was made
up of II coal cars. When IL broke,
Engineer Coleman realized that the
accident had happened and with the
three cars that were still attached to
the engine steamed out of the tunnel
into the Sarnia yards. He hastily de-
tached his engine and went back into
the tube for the stalled cars.
When his engine reached them he
attempted to push them back through
the tunnel and out of the American
portal. The grade proved too steep,
however. and the attempt was a fail
ure. The engine and cars rolled back
into the gas laden tunnel and Engineer
Coleman was suffocated at his post
in the engine cab. His fireman, Fred
Forester, with great presence of mind,
jumped into the partly filled water
tank of the engine, where there was
enough air to preserve his life, al
though he is in n serious condition.
When news of the broken train
reached the American side of the tun-
mel, Superintendent Begg, accompa-
MED by two other employees, started in
on foot, hoping that the train was near
enough to the entrance so that they
might rescue and carry out some oi
the crew. They had gone but a short
distance when the coal gas became
sitting and Besg succumbed. The
other two rescuers succeeded il
crawling to the portal of the tunnel or
their hands and knees.
Meanwhile preparations were being
made at the Sarnia end of the tunne
to rescue the imprisoned train crew
An engine with a party of rescuers
entered the tube and had proceeded
but a short distance when they founC
