Time Tells
 The Story,

There is a big difference be- tween the cost of making a first class sewing machine, embodying the best materials and workman ship, and one which is made in the cheapest manner. The buyer of the cheap machine soon pays the difference of price in the constant cost for repairs, to say nothing of it's annoying inefficiency.

Dies fin Paris After Surgical 0peratia
 ~ Rnr Awr~~s Ssrffsm

Dies fin Paris After Surgical Operatfsn tor Appendicitis. Paris. June 10.---Miss Lena Morton. daughter of Levi P. Morton of New York. died this morning from the ef- fects of blood poisoning. following an operation for appendicitis. Miss Nor toms family was at the bedside when she died The operation in itself did not arouse serious apprehension. but the appearance yesterday of blood pof- son gave the case a grave turn. Miss Morton rallied slightly during the sf- ternoon. but later her case became hopeless.
 No funeral arrangements have yet b 'en made. but 1t is probable that the body will be embalmed and taken to New York
 The deceased was 37 years of age and was the elder of two unmarried daugh- ters of former ce-President Morton. She was educated here while her fa- ther was United States Ambassador to France. She was a linguist. highly cultivated, and was a general favorite. Her father and mother and her sister. the Duchess of valency. remained at the private sanitarium in which the operation was performed, until death occurred.
 Friends of the family fear the blow will seriously affect Mrs. Morton. who has recently been slightly indisposed.

The Flood in Arkansas.

Little Rock. Ark, June 10.--A special to The Gazette from Pine Fluff says:
 The steady rise of the Arkansas riv- CT resulted in flooding nearly all of Jef- ferson County adjoining the river and for some distance inland. Thousands of acres of growing crops are under water and in some instances being washed up entirely. The loss to farm CTS in this section cannot be estimated but will reach thousands of dollars by the destruction of the crops, as it is too late in the year to replant. Levees down the river on the northern side are giving way rapidly and this lets the water in on the unprotected far inlands. Sherill, in Pub Bayou township. is un- der water and in some places the water covers the floors of the stores in the heart of the town. The town is some distance from the river. but the high water has spread over the intervening territory uitIl it reaches that place.
 The whole of Pastoria township fin this county is under water with the exception of few high plats of ground and every plantation in that district Is flooded.
 A message from Colonel John M. Oracle at the Hannabery place, says that all the levees in that section broke early this morning and that fully 4.o00 acres of land are under water in his plantation alone.

CRIPPLE CREEK IS QUIET

Victor, Col. June 1o.--An investiga- tion by the jury empanelled by coro- ner Hall into the explosion at the In dependence station on Monday, when over twenty men were killed and crip- pied, Is being pushed.
 The first witness was James Dooner engineer of the train that was pulling in at the station at the time of the ex- plosion. Dooner said that he had stop ped about seventy-fve feet from the depot when some men ran up and in- formed him that the depot had been blown up. He told of himself and his crew lighting torches and making an investigation of the scene and of as- sisting the dead and wounded.
 He had. he said. made a second trip to the depot platform with the conduc- tor when they tried to find a wire by which some one had said the explosion had been caused. They had not seen any signs of the wire.
 The testimony of the other members of the crew was practically the same as that givep by Dooner,
 Wire and Revolver.
 Several witnesses testified as to the finding of the wire with the revolver which was discharged exploding the dynamite under the depot platform.

 sensation was caused by c. C.. Hathaway. a carpenter who lives with in 300 feet of where the explosion oc- cured. He said he hurried to the place. He met man and asked him what was the matter, to which he re- ceived the reply, "oh. nothing. only a lot of 'scabs gone to hell"
 At that instant. witness in stepping over a gully, fell directly onto one of the victims. He did not know who the man was who had used the language. as it was still dark, but later on, hav- ing heard him use the same words to another person. he inquired for the mans name and was told 1t was Joe Craig.
 The jury failed to fix the crime upon any person, but its verdict declares that the explosion was the result of A conspiracy to intimidate non-union miners.

EXCITEMENT IS sUBsIDING.
Work Being Reaumed at Mines in
 Cripple Creek District.

Cripple Creek District.
 Cripple Creek, Colo, June 10.-Thc excitement throughout this district is gradually subsiding. Work was re- stunned today at mine employing nom union men which had been closed since Monday. the Stratton Independence be- ing the first to reopen.
 The Portland mine remains closed by orders of General Bell. and its 800 employees will be compelled to abandon the union or leave the district.
 Employers in all branches of busi ness in this city, without exception, so far as known. have signed the agree ment proposed by the Citizens Alliance mot to employ help of any kind that Is in any way connected with the Dis trict Trades Assembly or the State Federation of Labor or any kind of organization"
 This agreement of the proprietors has caused consternation among the clerks and employees in shops and stores who are members of the retail clerks barbers. carpenters. bartenders, cooks and other trade unions, as all will have to resign to hold their positions.
 The union cards which have been de- manded in this camp in order to trans act business will no, longer be a ne- cessity; in fact. 1t is intended that the cards shall be surrendered as soon as the committees report can be acted on.
 The present scale of wages will pre- vail and individual unions will be tolerated. 1t Is conceded, If they are conducted on conservative lines and do not give aid in any way to the West ern Federation of Miners.
 The authorities now in control de- clare there has not been for months time when life and property here were as safe as they are today. The streets are quiet. and as those of the lawless element who have not fled have been imprisoned. no further disturb ance is expected.

DAY IS A DEMOCRAT THEREFORE HE WILL NOT sUC- CEED PHILANDER c. KNOX. Believed That the Pennsylvania Corr p0rntioys Have Decided on
 Man to Take the Place
 of Attorney General.
Advertiser Bureau. Colorado Building,


 Washingtor June 10 A varied assortment of gobsfp has been going to-day as to who will suc- ceed Phildander Chase Knox as Attor- ney General. There was some talk about Assistant Attorney General Will liam A Day, but it has been all at once reflected that MT. Day is a Dem ocrat and it will not do to have him in the cabinet.
 As Mir. Knox will hold on in the de- pertinent Of justice according to the present plans. until about the time Congress meets. when he will take a seat in the Senate. there will be plen- ty of time to look around for mater ial suitable to MT. Roosevelt
 The opinion is quite definite that the corporations In Pennsylvania. having selected MT. Knox for senator, had al- ready settled upon a man to succeed him in the department of justice. Who 1t is to be seems not ready for the public.
 There has been gossip about various other people besides Mir. Day, including Solicitor General NJ. Henry M Hoyt, Senator Warren of Wyoming, George M. Knight of California, and H. Clay Evans of Tennessee. MT. Evans is now consul general to London and has Southern friends among the Republi- cans urging his appointment.
 Nothing in which the administration has had to act at this time has so in- terested the Democrats as the transfer of Mir. Knox to the Senate.

This expression of apparent disapproval of the Governors refusal to save Mart Vowell from the gallows came from a source not generally known
 Attached to the picture of the Cover nor were several playing cards The eff1gy had evidently been prepared with eares as the picture was a very good likeness of the Governor.
 The effigy was taken down and burn ed soon after the discovery that it had been strung up.
 The train bearing the remains of Vowell, who was executed at Paragould yesterday for the murder of William Lovejoy in this county, arrived here at 9 o'clock last night Several hundred citizens were at the depot.

number of shells were fired All was quiet on. the coast this morning. but several Japanese ships were cruising in the offing.
 June ' the Japanese slowly contin- ued their march toward Siuyen. On the lmorning of June 8. Japanese infantry brigade, two mountain batteries and five squadrons of cavalry marched against Siuyen. About II o'clock the Japanese appeared before the town on the south side. but were checked by a very successful fire from our batteries Japanese infantry then began ad- vancing against the town from the east by the Fengwan Cheng road. and came in contact with the Cossacks holding the pass After two hours fighting the Cossacks were obliged to retire and our artillery opened fire along the pass. not allowing the Japanese to es tabIfsh themselves. At this moment a Japanese mountain battery arrived and took position to the south, but after firing a few rounds was silenced by our battery. A second Japanese battery
 did not succeed in getting into actioM
 but was compelled to evacuate its po- sition and the fire of our guns.
 Tn the course of the fight fianking
 movement by several batallions of Jap |anese infantry was observed northeast |of Siuyen threatening our line of re-
 treat. Consequently our Cossacks
 gradually withdrew five miles from Si- |uyen, keeping up their fire from a bat
 tery on a dense column of the enemy
 q. range of 500 yards. The fire slack
 ened about in the afternoon. Among
 our losses were Cheremissinen. chief |of Cossacks; Cornet Komarovski. and
 Lieutenant Colonel Possokhoff, To all appearances the Cossacks were engag-
 ed with troops of the 10th division.
 In the affair June at Vafangow, we had one rifleman wounded by the Jap anese. who sustained considerable loss es. According to the testimony of res idents they had forty killed or wound ed.
 "Details of the affair at Saimatze fol- low:
 June 7 at a. m, an outpost com
 pany on the Alvang road was attacked by the enemy. A detachment of Chas- seurs was sent as a reinforcement. More Japanese then appeared, one bat tallion with a mountain battery posi- tioned before Saimatze. The Chasseurs at first pressed the Japanese, infiicting losses and taking rifles and equipment from the killed. but the advance was checked by a severe fire. Reinforce ments. now joined the enemy, bringing up their strength to a brigade of in- fantry. two batteries of artillery and three squadrons of cavalry. Thereup- on the commander of our detachment ordered a retreat toward Feuchulin Pass. The detachment withdrew slow ly and in good order. holding success i've positions.
 Our wounded included Captain Max haroff and Lieutenant Ronjitski Both officers, however, remained in the ranks. About 100 men were killed or wounded. The enemy suffered severe ly."
