Second National Bank Cashier
4 who Faced the Grim Reaper,
4 Returns...Tells Story of His
u Thrilling Escape.

Henry Byorum, cashier OF the
Second National bank returned
home Friday from Spokane,
wv ASH, where he has been confin-
led in a hospital for several weeks.
Mr.. Byorum is recovering slowly
from injuries he received in the
wreck at Camden, Wash. Mr..
Byorum says that he had a very
close call, in fact he faced the
grim reaper. He was sitting in
the rear OF the smokingcar when
the train crashed down a seventy
foot embankment.
II He says that the smoking car
rolled over and over, and when
the car reached the bottom OF
the grade, he was piled up in the
top of the car. The gas tank OF
the baggage car had been knock
ed loose in the crash, and this ex-
ploded.
Two men sitting directly in
front OF Mr.. Byorum were killed
instantly by the terrific explo.
sion, and he was badly burned.
The car then rolled over into
the water and was submerged in
twenty feet OF water. Henry
says that the first thing he thot
of when the water came rushing
in the car was to hold his breath.
The car was soon full of water
and he sank to the bottom of
the car, and half crawled and
half swan along the seats until
he came to the door which was
open. Once on the platform. he
gave a plunge upwards and soon
came to the surface of the water
when he swan to a log several
feet distant. The gas tank which
was burning was floating on the
surface of the water and this
passed Mr.. Byorum, burning
him a second time. a great deal
worse than the first. He was
then rescued and taken out
dead than alive.
His face is about we'll, but one
can see where great patches OF
skin peeled off. One of his ears
is still in a bad condition. Mr..
Byorum is very weak and will
not be able to resume his posi-
ton for some time. he is greet
ed by his many friends in Minot
who are exceedingly glad to have
him with us again.

Michael Georg Conrad had just cele-
brated his sixtieth birthday. His
name as a critic and magazine writer
had so persistently been associated
with those Of the latest lights in lit
erature; art and music, that few real
lied he would soon join the ranks OF
the veterans. His magazine, Die Ge-
sellschaft, seemed to exist for the
sole purpose of discovering or cham
pioning strong individualities. He
was one of the most ardent defend
ers in Germany Of Zola; he broke
lances for Nietzsche, Ibsen, Wagner
Liliencron, Fake and many others
at a time when they were the under
dogs. His magazine has ceased to
exist; his constant swimming against
the stream did not prove profitable.

Turning o Crank.

Turning a crank is less fatiguing
than hammering. 1t is estimated that
the daily work developed by man
hammering is about 100000 foot
pounds, while in turning crank he
develops 100000 foot pounds.
1t consequently follows that turn
ing a crank with resistance well bal
anced with a fywheel is better way
of utilizing a mans strength than
by direct hammering. Machine drill
makers are now. perfecting hand
drills for mining work. The mistake
was formerly made of endeavoring to
produce hand machine drills to COM
pete with power drills. It was not
recognized that there was a good
field for small light drills to utilize
miners strenth to the fullest degree.

MORE PAY FOR $4,000 HANDS
Cotton Mills in Thirty New Eng
land Towns Increase Wages.
Scale Of 1904 Resumed in the Fall
River Iron Works, Affecting
Over 5000 Men.

Boston, Mass.-Five per cent. ad-
vance in wages in cotton mills in
thirty or more cities, towns and viii
lagos of Southern Massachusetts and
Rhode Island has gone into effect
About $4,000 operatives are bene-
flied. Since the inception of the up
ward movement in mill wages early
in the year 10000 textile operatives
in the New England States have been
advanced five to fourteen per cent.
Of the total number 10000 work in
the cotton mills, and about $4,000
in the wooden and worsted plants.
All the cotton mills in Fall River in
creased wages ten per cent. week
ago with the exception of M. C. D.
Borden's Fall River Iron Works
mills, which we're paying ten per
cent. more than the other factories.
This brought the weaving schedules
to the basis which existed before the
reduction of 1904.
The Fall River Iron Works mills
made further advance, which again
places wages in Mr.. Borden's mills
higher than those paid in the other
factories. The iron works employ
about 5000 hands.
An advance of five per cent. in
wages was made in all the cloth mills
OF New Bedford and in some of the
yarn mills. About $1,000 hands are
employed. in that city. Practically
every cotton mill in Rhode Island
and mills elsewhere controlled by
Rhode Island interests also gave the
five per cent. raise to their $4,000
employees.
The other places affected by the
advance include Whitinsville, Lin
wood, North Uxbridge, Saundersville,
Rockdale. Northbridge, Manchaug,
Dodgeville, Hebronyille and Read
vile, all in Massachusetts,. Last fall
an increase was given by the Edwards
mills, of Augusta, Me. The mills Of
Connecticut, Lawrence, North Adams,
Adams, Williamstown, Palmer, West
Warren and several other places
made an advance averaging ten per
cent. last winter and spring. Few of
the mills in Northern New England
made the reduction which went into
effect in Fall River in 1904.

Rainfall and Tree Growth.

A report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth or
trees is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen in the case of one
and two year old trees, but in an In
vestigation extending over period of
twelve years, during which time the
annual rings Of growth were carefully,
examined. With an annual precipita-
ton of from thirty to thiry-fve inches
q width of ring was produced varying
from IL to is inch. If, on the other
hand, there was either an unusually
large or small rainfall in any given
year this was followed by CORE
spending tree growth in tue following
year.-Harper's Weekly.

GIRL SHOULDERS A MURDER !
Confesses to Killing a Youth After
Accusing Two Young Men,
emma Stephany Tells How She Shot
Her Sweetheart James FriZzneu
While Celebrating the Fourth.

Pottsville, Pa.-First duplicating
two young men Of prominent fami-
lies in the murder of James FrizG-
nell, whose body was found in the
street on July 4, then clearing the
men and taking the blame for the
shooting on her own shoulders, EN-
ma Stephany. nineteen years old,
daughter of a prominent merchant
of this place. amazed the police by
the stories which she told. Because
of the sudden change in her stories
the police are inclined to believe that
the girl is demented, and that
neither she nor the young men whose
names she told know anything about
Frizznell's death. Yet both her
stories at first glance appeared to
have the Imprint of truth. and the
girl now is under arrest awaiting
the result of an investigation by the
police
Frizznell's body was found in the
street on the morning of the Fourth
of July with a bullet wound in his
breast. Among those whom the
police questioned in regard to the
shooting was Miss Stephany. She
said that she had seen the man slain,
and she mentioned the names of
those who she said did the shoot
ing. The police visited the young
men mentioned by the girl. but ap-
parently they were able to prove
a complete alibi, for they were not
arrested.
The police continued their work
on the case, and they were sur
prised when the girl walked into
headquarters and said that she want
ed to retract the story she told and
take all the blame for the killing.
She asserted that she shot Frizznell.
accidentally with his own revolver
in celebrating the Fourth. She said
he loaned her the pistol and that she
meant to fire it in the air. She shut
her eyes when she pulled the trigger,
and when she opened them again
Frizznell was lying on the ground
with a bullet in his breast.

CHOLERA RAGING IN MANILA
The Epidemic Confined Almost
Entirely to Native Population.
Health Authorities Have Thrs Far
Been Unable to Stop Spread
of the Disease.

Washington, D. G. - Information
received by the Insular Bureau of the
War Department from Manila is to
the effect that cholera in very viru-
lent form is raging there During the
week ending July there were 116
cases and ninety-nine deaths from the
disease. That the health authori,
ties have thus far been unable to stop
the spread Of the disease is indicated
by the further report that during the
tWenty-four hours preceding
o'clock a. m, were twelve cases and
five deaths reported from the prov
inces. During the same period in
Manila there were twenty-nine cases
which came to the knowledge of the
Health Department.. twenty-three Of
which were fatal.
The situation has assumed a very
grave aspect, and the authorities
have taken stringent measures to
stamp out the disease as speedily as
possible, but it seems to have gained
a headway which is regarded with
some apprehension. 1t is said that
the disease is confined almost en-
tirely to the native population. al
though several cases among white
persons have been reported. It is be-
lieved, however, that the army and
the civilian employees of the insular
Government have thus far escaped
from the ravages of the disease It
has been the practice IF the Philip
pine authorities to cable the names
of employees of the Government in
case of death, and as none have been
reported in this manner it is thought
that there have been no fatalities
among them.
The islands have never been en-
tirely free from cholera, but up to
the present time the disease has been
practically under control, only an iso-
lated case having been reported to
the authorities from time to time.
After al absence dating from
March 21 cholera again reappeared
in Manila early in May, when there
were six cases and six deaths. Dur
ing May there were also fifteen cases
and twelve deaths from the same dis
ease in the provinces. Every possible
effort was made to trace the source
Of infection, but so far all attempts
have been unsuccessful. The first
case occurred in the person Of beg
gar, who was known to have been in
the city for at least several weeks.
AS far as could be learned, he ate
only such iood as is common to the
poorer classes. While it has not been
possible to trace any connection be-
tween the cases, yet they have all oc-
Cured in the district of Tondo, and
all of them in houses that border on
the same estero.
