but he cannot remember the point in

were concealed. The old building is
now used as a stable and many parts
are so changed as to confuse Adams.

is was done by others who told Adams

statements were worthy of a person

Mitchell entered the debate vigorous
ly He told the operators that they
would have to give the public better
reasons for refusal of the miners de-

Mitchell demanded to know the re-

questions calling on them for a show
down for the statement that they
were unable financially to grant the
miners demands. Several operators
answered, some frankly admitting that
their mines are owned by the roads and
others denying railroad connection.

MUNICH, August 10, 1906
1t is remarkable fact that the fame of
Munich a center Of art and learning Is
due to the enterprise and national pride of
insane kings. Perhaps, however, the Mum
chenerkindel has had something to do with
1t. This is a legendary character most ia
miliar to Bavarian children, which appears
upon the seal of the city and is used on
| crests, in newspaper advertisements, on
signs and in all forms of decoration. The
legend runs that our Savior was much
interested in the welfare of Munich that
ages ago He came down to bless the town
| in the guise of little child wearing the
cowl Of monk. This suggested the shield
of the city, which through thousand GEN.
turtles has been carved and printed and
sketched and chiseled by half the popula-
| ton.
Munich is one of the most beautiful cities
in Europe, with broad streets, frequent
| fountains, many stately statues numerous
open squares. large wooded parks, swift
river flowing directly through the center
Of the residence section, galleries that con-
tain several of the finest collections of pic
lures and sculpture in the world, libraries,
academies of design, schools of science, a
magnificent opera house, theater that
was erected exclusively for the production
of Wagners operas and various other at
fractions which do not disturb the classic
atmosphere, but appeal to the artist, the
student and whoever seeks for beauty and
for rest. No city of equal size has so many
while probably a larger proportion of the
population of Munich is engaged in study
and artistic and scientific pursuits than may
be found in any other city.
