SaWmill Boiler Lets Go.

Last Friday forenoon the boiler
exploded at D. P. Mi!ler's saw
mill, which is located on Negro
Mountain, in Elk Lick township,
here Mr., Miller had been en-
gagged in saving lumber for the
Anderson Lumber Company. The
mill was badly wrecked by the
force of the explosion, but fortu-
nately no one was seriously hurt
The following named persons
were working about the mill when
the boiler exploded: D. P. Miller
and son, John Tressler, Clay
Maust, Nathan Keim and Lloyd
Brenneman Three Of them were
buried under the wreckage, but
none of the men were seriously in
jured. Young Miller was slightly
scalded and cut about the head,
and John Tressler was also slightly
hurt, but the other three men es-
capped without injury. 1t is a
miracle that all of them were not
killed or seriously injured. Sails

Just Like 1t, Only Different.

Running newspaper is just
like running hotel, only differ
ent, truthfully remarks all ex-
change. When man goes into a
hotel and finds something on the
table which does not suit him he
does not raise hades with the land
lord and tell him to stop his old
hotel. Well hardly He sets that
dish aside and wades into the
many dishes that do suit him. 1t
is different with some newspaper
readers. They find an article
occasionally that doesn't suit them
exactly and without stopping to
think ii may please hundreds Of
other readers make a grand stand
play and tell the editor how a
paper should be run and what
should be put into it. But such
hople are becoming fewer every
year.-West Union Record.

SUGAR TRUST RsAN MUST TALK
Federal Grand Jury to Compel Official
to Testify.

i
New York, July 26.-W. E. Foster,
general auditor of the American Sug-
ar Refining company, was taken be-
fore Judge Hough in the United States
district court at the instigation of
the federal grand jury on charge of
being recalcitrant witness.
For years the officials of the sugar
trust have refused to produce their
books in courts of justice to afford
grand juries assistance in any investi-
cations in which the trust was inter-
ested or to permit an examination of
its books even by the company's own
stockholders. Federal judges have de-
cided that the sugar trust is entitled
to no greater privilege than any cor
poration or individual.
Unless Foster produces the books
and papers without stipulation or res
eryation he is in danger of being COM
mitted to prison for contempt of court
The haling of Foster before Judge
Hough lends color to rumor that has
been about for several days that the
federal grand jury is Investigating sew
eral railroads suspected of granting
rebates to the sugar trust and that in
dictments are likely to follow.
Foster left the federal building with
out intimating his intentions, but it
was reported that his refusal to pro-
duce the papers is plan to force the
federal grand jury to subpoena an
other official to produce the documents.
thereby enabling that person to de-
muir to any indictment that might lat
er be returned against him upon the
ground that in violation of his con-
stitutional rights he had been forced
to produce evidence against himself.

SAYS THAW BEAT WIFE.
Woman Employed by White Testifies
AGAINST His SLAYER

New York, July 26.-"When l state
that Harry Thaw beat Evelyn Nesbit I
am only stating what my eyes saw.
Twice when l interfered to save her
Thaw turned upon me with his brutal
blows, and Notwithstanding my years
he struck me again and again.
Such is an excerpt from the testimony
of Miss Anna Crane, gray haired
masseuse, who was sent to Paris by
Stanford White to rescue Evelyn Mes
bit from Harry Thaw. Miss Crane has
told her story to Assistant District At
torney Turnbull.
Miss Crane set out on her journey in
the summer of 1904. Some months be-
fore Mrs. Nesbit and her daughter had
gone abroad, and Harry Thaw soon fol-
lowed. He was almost their only visi-
tor in the apartment they occupied just
off the Champs Elysee. Then Mr.
White received piteous appeal from
Mrs. Nesbit She had been beaten
cruelty and turned adrift.
She was penniless and had to borrow
money to cable White for help. She
begged him to rescue her daughter.
That was Miss Cranes mission.
Thomas J. Minnock, who, says that
in the fall of 1902 he was connected
with school of hypnotism, has made
a statement to the district attorney that
Harry Thaw was pupil of the school
and that his avowed purpose was to OBJ
tain such control over Stanford White
and young woman who was not
named as to break the influence which
the former exerted over the latter.
Minnock alleges Thaw told him that if
he could not break Whites influence
over the young woman he would take
Whites life.

Field Estate Tax s2. .aon. .nnn.

Chicago, July 26.-Marshall Fields
executors will be asked to pay taxes
amounting to about $2,S00,O00. This
will be by far the greatest tax ever
levied upon the property of an indiyid-
ual taxpayer. The personal property
on which the Field estate must pay
taxes is $130,O00,0OO. The real estate
is worth about $50,000,0OO additional.
The larger portion of the assessment
against the Field estate is for back
taxes on personal property on which
the late Mr.. Field is held by the board
of review to have avoided paying taxes.

DREYFUs lNSULTED.
Face Slapped by Brother Officer In
Military Club.


Paris, July 26.--Just after being hon
ored by President Fallieres at the
Elysee palace Major Dreyfus was pub
licly insulted in the Cercle Militaire,
one of the most exclusive clubs in
Paris, by commandant, who slapped
him in the face This brought about
an immediate clash in the club and
will tend to revive disputes over the
Dreyfus affair throughout France.
1t was at a reception at the Cercle
Militaire to the Thirteenth regiment
of artillery that Major Dreyfus and
Commandant large made their first
appearance in military gathering
since the recent court verdict. AS
soon as Major Dreyfus came into the
salon an officer whose name is not
yet known ran up and slapped him
In the face. The major did not reply.
Instantly there was almost riot in
the club rooms, two groups being
formed of sympathizers and opponents
of Dreyfus.
1t appears that the incident was
prearranged, and the officer who at
tackled Dreyfus is said to have declar-
ed that he would refuse to fight duel
in order to bring opprobrium On Major
Dreyfus and force him to retire from
active service
President Fallieres' reception of Ma
jor Dreyfus was very courteous. 1t
occurred on the presidents return to
the ElVSee palace from Rambouillet
Major Dreyfus intends starting for
Switzerland on two months leave of
absence.
