The press gallery of the French cham.
Der OF deputies seems to enjoy special
privileges. The reporters behave as
they please-that is to say, very badly.
They Shout, laugh. interrupt the ora
tors or discuss among themselves the
topics treated on the floor. AS their
voices are drowned by the noise made
by the house and their manifestations
are not easily located. the president
and his deputies affect to ignore them
and very often let pass many boyish
pranks in which that young and some
what tlneducated body is wont to in
dnlge. When they are wearied by a
speech they cry out "Cloturew as the
deputies do to shut off n speaker. They
greet speakers whom they dislike with
groans or laughter. They make ut the
top of their voices all sorts of disre-
spectful remarks about the lawmakers
down below. There was one reporter
in the press gallery of the senate who,
as he entered, used to cry out the ia
nous phrase of a speaker of the revo-
luton, president d'assassins, lie de-
mGnde la pnrole!" AS rule, however,
The deputies by themselves are spec
tac!e Interesting enough, and the noise
they make is distracting enough to mo-
nopolize the whole attention Of the gal
lcries as well as of the speaker; conse-
quently the din of the press gallery
passes unheeded until once in awhile a
journalist goes too far and has to be
called to order or eXpelled.-Century.

Walter Wellman's Falsehoods

When Colonel Henderson was
speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tives he considered it necessary tic
publicly call attention to the fact
that Walter Wellman was audacious
~ unreliable. Some criticised the
: Colonel at the time on the ground
that Wellman's reputation as lurid
liar was SO generally known that ii
was quite unnecessary for public
officer to deny anything that he said
There is, however, a cunning
crafty malice in many of Wellman' S
falsehoods. Take his story about
Hearst's renting all the rooms in one
Of the leading hotels at St. Louis for
illustration. He told that falsehood
like many others when he wanted to
make it appear that Mr.. Hearst was
using vast sums of money to secure
the nomination, and at time when
the manager Of the St. Louis hotel
was writing to leading democrats in,

HURLED INTO ETERNITY
Twelve Men Killed by an Explosion OF
Dynamite Mt Railway Station

Al SOlOFduO.
Cripple Creek, Col, June 6.-Twelve
miners We're instantly killed and eight
or ten others badly injured by an ex-
plosion that occurred after midnight
at the Independence station of tile Flor
ence and Cripple Greek railroad. The
cause of the explosion has not been
ascertained, but apparently it was the
result of n dastarlly plot against the
non-union miners oil the night shift ut
the Shurtloff. Findley and Lost Dol
lar mines, who had just finished work
and were about to return to their
homes. These men had no warning
whatever of their impending fate.
The explosion occurred beneath the
platform on which they We're standing,
hurting many of them high into the
air, destroying the adjoining depot and
rending u great hole in the earth 1t
is believed large quantity of dyna-
mite had been placed under the plat
form and that 1t was set off by means
of electricity, or by the conclusion
caused by the approaching train. The
train had not arrived ut the Indepen-
dence depot, but was within short dis
lance of it when the explosion &C.
cured. About forty-five or fifty min
ers from the Shurtloff, Findlay and
Lost Dollar mines had gathered at the
depot platform and they were blown
into the air in every direction.
One mans body, cut in two, was
found 100 yards from the scene of the
explosion. Seven bodies We're laid out
together and the remnants of others
were secured as fast as possible. On
account of the terrible nature of their
wounds, Identification was difficult.

Referring to the platform adopted
at Des MONIES by the recent Repub-
lican State Convention, of which the
editor of the Press was a member Of
the committee on resolutions, the
Press of last week says: the platform
was designed, while giving utter
ance to sound, straightforward rep
ublicanism, to dispose once for all of
the notion that Iowa republicans are
committed to a policy of tariff reduce
tons as means of Gripping the
trusts That is the policy of the
stand pat elementof the republican
party Of this state. Not to do any
thing that will cripple the infamous
trusts. Why, because the trusts
furnish the money that keeps the
republican party in power in this
state and nation, and the stand
pat" leaders do not propose Or intend
to "kill the goose that lays the gold
en- egg" for them there is an ele-
ment Of the republican party in this
state which was until recently led
by Gov. Cummins, who favor what
is known as the Iowa Idea" This
element favors severing the bonds
which bind their party to the trusts
and combines, and to SO act as will
produce the greatest good to the
great masses Of the people. Or, as
stated by one of them they believe
by means Of tariff revision in pull
ing off the smokers and cutting down
the sprouts of greed and avarice
that have grown around the roots
and aresapping the life Of the repub
lican party. The stand patters
believe that the trusts are the life Of
the republican party, while TIN" Iowa
Idea" element believes that the mas
ses are gradually awakening to the
fact that they are being robbed by
the trusts, by means of the Dingley
tariff and the protection given to
then by the republican leaders, and
that unless the stand pat" theory
| is abandoned the masses will rise
in their might and destroy the
} party.

There is no rich man in public
life that has done for the common
people Of this country what William
r. Hearst has done for them. He
has been their friend. With his
vast wealth he could just as well
have followed the trend of the veal
thy and joined the trusts and COM
binations. He is one Of the largest
employers Of men in the United
States and has never had a strike.
He has done more in a public way
for the benefit Of the under dog
in the struggle than all the old
boilers in the democratic party
combined. If the common peo-
pie do not make his cause theirs
they will simply be turning down
a friend that if given power will
do more for them than any other

Meantime General Samsonon was APP
preaching Nagenfuchu with strong
force of cavalry.
1t was sight worth seeing when,
Mt the word of command, the Rus
sian squadrons formed and rushed like
whirlwind across the terribly cut up
country, clearing away all obstacles,
the batteries at the same time trotting
along the friglitful roads. Having
passed the railroad station, the troops
came under the fire of the Japanese
machine guns, but withdrew without
suffering much loss.
The Fourth and Sixth companies Of
the Eighth Siberian Cossacks furious
ly charged the Japanese cavalry with
lances, attacking both TANKS. In few
minutes they literally cut the whole
squadron into pieces. This was the
first time lances We're used, and they
struck terror into the enemy. In some
cases tho lances pierced the riders
through and wounded their horses.
Some of the lances could not be with
drawn from the bodies they had en-
tered.
y Cossack who had lost his lance
md sword wrenched a sword from a
Japanese officer and cut off the Off
GERS head. The Cossacks picked up
boots which had been taken off by
the Japanese to facilitate their flight
and flourisheG them on their lances as
trophies.
Mukden, June "a hospital train
has arrived here with wounded from
the fighting at Nafangow. One of the
wounded said: "These Japanese fight
very well. Shooting is their strong
point, but the Cossack's lance charge
completely surprised them. Many OF
the Japanese were ridden down. 9th
ers ceased firing and fed"

Lower Wooden Mill Burns

Friday evening last, after the
hour OF six, the lower Wooden Mills
til" new mill' it isoften designated,
was struck by lightning and the
resulting fire was not discovered in
time to save the big building or any
of its machinery. The alarm was
sent in about nine o'clock and the
fire companies all went out but it
was of no avail. The mill was a
big loss to its owner, Mr.. j. S.
Jones, who had just placed a part of
$4,000 worth of wool in the build
ing preparatory to putting an extra
force at work there this week.
The loss is not only one of great
financial moment to Mr.. Jones but
is a distinct industrial loss to this
community. A mandatory such
as this is wonderful help in the
business life Of place and while, of
course, the upper mill is a large
building and is equipped and in
use by Mr.. Jones, still it is hoped
he may desideAto rebuild, keeping

The burned building was erected

machinery it was valued at $4,000
and Mr.. Jones carried about $4,000
insurance.
