Mining news from THIS Guy 10 the
Milwaukee papers occasionally becomes
very much magnified while enroute OF
otherwise. That sheet of lead found in
the Victoria shaft is only about five
inches thick, not five feet as given out
by a Milwaukee paper. A five inch
sheet of solid lead ore is much better
than the average gold mine, it should
be remembered, while five foot body
would have the Standard Oil monopoly
distanced as fortune maker.

He told his family of his intention 10

of the newsstand at French street sta

been employedas fireman in the Kiamensi

"I'm going to end my life" ]" he told
his wife and daughter during the day,

that he was joking.
He started for work as usual, taking
his luncheon in basket but he sur.
prised his family by returning and throw.
himself down on the couch in the kit
chen. He didn't have the basket with
him.
His wife anxiously sat at the foot oi

he did not tell. His daughter busted her
felf about the kitchen.
Il think I'll kill myself he remarked
to them, but they did not take his word.

ter thought he was joking on the grim
subject.
They were horriied, however, when
he took revolver from his pocket and
before either of them could prevent he
sent bullet through his brain. He held
the revolver near theffght ear, and the
unerring missile must have caused instant
death.

m FEAR OF ROOSEVELT

Fears that President Roose-
velt may be again candidate for
President, are beginning to
arouse his enemies. Every
crooked and exploiting corpora
tion, railroad and otherwise,
would view with i'll concealed
alarm Mr.. Roosevelt as a eandi-
date. 1t would show to them in
unmistakable terms how strongly
the sentiment of the country is
against their conduct. Mr..
Roosevelt has started a fight for
a square deal. His bringing to
the rack the criminals ofa high
order who have been immune
from punishment, even the pun
ishment of public opinion, has
made him most distasteful to this
element. The latter, however,
whether Mr.. Roosevelt is named
or not, will not be able to domi-
nate and rule the country as they
have done in the past. So they
will have cause for agitation who
ever may be the standard bearers
of the parties. They should
flock by themselves and.see how
many votes they can muster. ="
