Chicago Won Out.

In Chicago on June 16, 1908, the
convention that will name the next
standard bearer of the Republican
party will be called to order. The city
and date were decided upon Saturday
by the Republican national committee
in an exciting session and the final
decision was unanimous.
The convention will be held in the
Coliseum, which seats $4,000 people.
Chicagoans say the next convention
will be the first real one since 1888;
that, is the first in which the result
will not be known in advance, and in
view of the tremendous interest that
will be displayed Chicago alone can
handle the visitors properly and take
care of the newspapers.
Kansas City made a splendid fight
to land the gathering, and its showing
in the vote was a strong one. Denver
also bid, offering 100000 in cash,
but the superior attractions of the
Windy City and the facilities there for
the handling of the news of the con-
vention decided the matter. The orig
inal vote stood: Chicago, 3d. Kansas
City, II; Denver, A.

actual miners were checked off as en-
tering the mines Friday morning. This
number it was further stated, did
not include fully 100 trappers. mule
drivers, bumpers and boys who are
not under the check system. Should
these figures be correct, the death list
will be over $50 persons. The condi

horrible. Many are dismembered;
some are fearfully crushed and the
rest are blackened and burned beyond
recognition. The body of ]. M. Nc.

was recovered in mine No. 8. 1t was
headless and otherwise disfgured,
