An exchange says that in max
ing paper ear wheels from one
hundred and twenty to one hun
dred and fifty layers of paper
are put together with flour paste
and then subjected to a pressure
of five hundred tons while at
temperature of one hundred and
twenty degrees Fahrenheit. The
blocks are then turned in lathe,
slightly larger than the tire, and
the hole is bored for the cast
iron center. In turning, the pa
per blocks makes shaving that
resembles strips of leather. The
average life of the tire of a pa
per wheel is about three hundred
thousand miles. That represents
about one and one-quarter inch
wear. The centers do not seem
to be affected by service, and
they are always good for renew
alrf tires unless some accident
happens to them.

When the night is dark and rainy
And you're on your way to town,
Just a-walking and a-stalking,
Sometimes up and sometimes
down;
When you think there comes pud-
die
And you don't know what to do,
Yet you try to dodge and dodge,
But you blindly walk right thro'-
Then, aren't you glad to see your
neighbor
With his lantern shining bright,
SO you can safely walk to the city
BY the other fellows light?
When your life's dark and crooked
And you're on on your way to-
well,
Just a-gliding and a-sliding down
And down to death and very hell
When you think you're lost forever
In q puddle of blacklist sin,
And there is no Christ to save you
And no heaven to enter in
Then, aren't you glad to see Chris

! MINING NOTES.
Mines Flooded.

Mines Flooded.
On account of the excess of
water that has found It's way in
to the Nortonville mines, the pre-
sent shaft will have to be aban-
doned and another shaft pre-
pared. In fact work has been
suspended and the machinery is
being taken out of the ground.
Water poured in so rapidly that
the pumps could not keep out of
the way.
We are informed that the en-
terprlse is not to be abandoned,
but that work will commence at
once In another portion as soon
as possible a new opening will be
made. The closing Of the mines
causes a number of men to be
thrown out of employment

Owing to a lack of orders the
Daniel Boone mine near st.

1t is reported the Nortonville
Coal Co. has struck another vein
of coal at a depth of 142 feet
from the service. 1t is 81 feet

The Rose Greek Coal Company

put up near their mine at Nebo.
These will be occupied by their
employees and their families as
soon as completed.
There is only one woman coal
miner in Missouri and she is
thought to be the only one in the
United States. Miss M n n lie
Petrle began to work in the
mine of her nephew, Theodore
Petrie, near Fulton, Mo-, few
years ago because he could not
get as he wanted. The first day
she worked she wore feminine
clothes, but finding them insult
able the next day she wore an
old suit of her nephew's and,
attired in mems clothes, she has
been digging coal ever since.
She is so years old and has but
one arm.-Fuel.
A report received here yester-
day from Wheatcroft says that
the mines of the Wheatcroft
Mining Company, which have
been idle for some time, has re-
sumed operations with nonunion
men and all the union men who
have been displaced are idle.

probable event. But from the Russian
point Of view perhaps it is worth Try
ing, on the ground of everything to
gain and nothing to lose.
Surprising. however, as is more Ike
~, Togo whips the Baltic squadron.
Then Russia can gain nothing by con-
tinuing the war. She never can bring
out over the railroad enough troops to
drive the Japanese back over the
mountainous regions of Korea. The
best she can hope to do under any cir
CUmStances would be TO regain the in
terror portions of southern Manchuria,
leaving the coast towns of Newchwarg,
Port Arthur, Dalny, Takushan, An
tung, as well as the Liaotung PENN
sula from PitSewO southwark, in the
Eountry thus denuded of all outlet to
the sea would be worthless.
That peace rumOrS are already rife,
springing from so many and such
authoritative sources. leads to the
cheerful probability that the war will
be over within six months at the out
side
The dearth of news from the front IS
compensated for by the many signiti-
cant bits of information from other
sources. From Russia, for instance,
we hear of the ever more frequent
riOting of the reServists who are being
called to arms. The half-Starved peas
ants and artisans. discouraged by the
stories Of suffering and disaster that
come from the front, and knowing
that their wives and children must he
left dependent on already pauperized
cOmmuneS, are summoned to fight in
a cause which has no interest for
them, nor any rational purpose. They
find themselves gathered together by
the thousand often without food or
shelter, and they begin to loot and
riot. OF course, they are shot down,
but the regular soldiers who shoot
them are probably as rebellious 1T

a single unimportant exception no of

would indicate that material gainS'
have been made on the Rihlung and

is now concentrating in the neighbor-
hood Of the Else forts on the west.
The last fighting at Port Arthur of
which we know anything was over
a week ago, when the Japanese were
repulSed in an assault on Fort Else
and the Russians accidentally eXplod-
ed one of their own mines under
themselves. The Russians were still
in possession Of the main line of forts
and LiaotiShan, but their outer works
were all taken, and the japanese par
allels were rapidly creeping in. The
defenders are reduced to about 5000.
