SOIrOW! N~~+fss,~
Two tiny, motherless children in
South Chicago cannot as yet realize
the cruel ways of fate but even their
adolescent minds understand some
thing of that sorrow which comes so
soon! +"
Every evening they sit on the knee
of the heartbroken father, and listen
to photograph as it sings lullaby
in their dead mothers voice.
And then they say their prayers in
lisping accents, and God giveth His
beloved sleep!"
Three days before the mother died
she sang into the monograph, and
the song was etched into the waxen
blank Now the grave is her shroud,
and at night when dFowsiness DER
takes them, the babes, in solemn
voices, ask for mothers song of sweet
goodnight"
Men die, but sorrow never dies;
The crowding years divide in vain,
And the wide world is knit with ties
Of common brotherhood in pain!''

TO TAP LA PLATA
COAL LAND
Denver & Rio Grande Surveying Corps
Running Branch Line From,
Pennington.

News from Pennington is to the ef-
feet that a completely equipped sur.
veying corps Of the Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad is making surveys
for a branch line of the road from
the town Of Pennington northwest to
the La Plata coal fields. 1t is under
stood that as soon as permanent sur
'veys have been made, active work on
the extension Of the branch will com
mence and that 1t will be finished as
rapidly as men and teams can do it,
1t seems to be a race between the Ari-
zona and Colorado Railroad and the
Denver & Rio Grande Railroad, each
being anxious to reach the coal fields
first, as each road owns large area
Of coal land in the section. The Dem
yer & Rio Grande has the advantage
In every way and will "geu there"
first.

Stampede at Columbus and Destroy
Classifying Pens-Recovered With
Difficulty.

Frightened by the approach of the
first locomotive they had ever seen, a
bunch of cattle which were being held
in the pens at Columbus, New Mexico,
stampeded, and rushed through the
fences which formed their barrier as
though they had been SO much paper
and snorting with terror left at the
highest speed for the wild country. 1t
took the cowboys several hours to
round them up again, and it was with
great difficulty they succeeded in get
ting the animals back to the station.
Before this could be accomplished the
engine had to be removed out of
sight, and the cattle were then driven
into the loading pens, which are much
stronger than the classifying pens out
of which they had broken.

On the goth of April the boy, who is

The boy left no note, no word with

FIRE Destroys
VALUABLE PAPERS
Insurance Company
Announces Loss
of Records.
NEW ORGANIZATION FORMED
Rehabiliment of City Con.
tinues---Work is Being
Rushed.

San Francisco, May 1O.-The Fire
mans FNnd Insurance Company has
discovered that the vault containing
all of the records of it's insurance
business in San Francisco has been
destroyed. The falling of an immense
steel girder, which broke off a corner
of the vault, gave the fire easy access
to the records, including many policies,
maps, etc. President Dutton has
made a statement that steps have
been taken by the company to meet
the new conditions created by the de-
struction from the fire. A new COM
pany to be known as the Fireman's
Fund Insurance Corporation is to be
formed as soon as legal holidays cease.
1t will have a million dollars capital
and a million reserve in addition to
the assets of the old company.
Scale Of Wages Agreed Upon.
At yesterdays meeting of the re-
construction committee, a resolution
was adopted declaring that the prevail
ing wage scale for unskilled labor at
ordinary employment in clearing up
the city should be $3.50 per day. Gen.
eral Greeley has issued request to
employers that men be paid at least
something to enable them to pay for
their meals.
Committee for Publicity Organized.
In order to prevent the spread OF
untrue stories and in order that a true
and concise knowledge of the actual
conditions prevailing in San Francis
co may be made known to the world,
the California Promotion Company has
been delegated to prepare newspaper
articles and photographs, which will
be sent broadcast to-. newspapers
throughout the country. These stories
and pictures are now in the course OF
construction and will be sent out as
soon as possible.
Some Time Before Actual knowledge
Of Damage Be Known.
1t will be at least month before
insurance officials can even approx
mate the actual amount of damage by
fire and earthquake. Although nearly
all companies have had expert adjust
ers on the scene ever since the fire,
it is impossible to gain any accurate
knowledge of the amount of damage
done. Ten companies have completed
a table of liabilities and using these
as a basis, they show the total loss
will reach $200,000,OO0.

TRIES COMc|uATE PEoPLE|
Attitude of Suspicion To-
ward Government Not
Conceded.

st. Petersburg, May 10. The En-
peror's reception at the opening ol
Parliament passed off without Incl
dent. The tone of his speech from
the throne was conciliatory. He ex
pressed the Emperor's wish that re
lief be given the peasants. in their
present unfortunate conditions and
then called on the members Of Par
lament to put their hearts into their
work and to cooperate with him in
solving the present problems of Rus
sia. and in handing down a united and
prosperous empire to his successor.
Capital Presents Picture.
An ideal May day greeted the up
rising OF the curtain for new act in
the great historical drama, of Rus
sias struggle for liberty. Never did
the capital present a more brilliant
picture than for the Inauguration OF
the Russian Parliament today. The
yellow imperial standard with the
double headed eagle flew from the
winter palace and flags were displayed
everywhere. All banks, schools,
stores and some factories closed in
honor of the occasion but there was
no general holiday. There was some
thing distinctly awe-inspiring about
the day with its visions of chains
falling from another branch of the
human race and the Russian people
taking up the march Of modern civili-
zation. However, there was an atti.
tude of mutual suspicion between the
government and the people that could
not be concealed. The city might have
been in a state Of siege, SO heavy was
the array of troops. EARLY this morn.
ing the palace square resembled a
field camp and all approaches to the
palace guarded for O. distance of a
third of q mile.

half to two-thirds filed. Baron Frisch
read an imperial ukase convening Par.
lament and inviting the members to
come forward and sign the oath. A
recess was then taken.
