GAGE DROPS 2z5 FEET.
Eleven Killed and Seven Fatally
Hurt In Michigan Mine.

Negaunee, Mich. Especially. - By
the plunging of cage 275 feet down
the shaft of the Jones & Laughlin
Steel Company mine II men were
killed and z fatally injured.
The~cage was making its first de-
scent for the day when the brake on
the hosting drum gave way. Two
other men sprang to the assistance
of the one at the brake wheel, but
their combined efforts did not avail
and the wire cable continued to I'M
reel from the drum like a weighted
thread from a fabricated bobbin.
The cage shot down 200 feet before
kink in the rushing cable caused
it to part. Then the cage dropped
to the bottom of the shaft, the safe
ty catches failing to operate. The
surging of the cable in it's mad fight
tore out part of the side of the en-
CINE house and ripped out several
sheaves about the shafthouse.
Workmen at the bottom OF the
mine Immediately set about remov-
ing the dead. The fall had hurled
the bodies together and they lay in
one mass, from which seven still
breathing were taken.
Thousands of persons soon congre-
gated about the mine shaft. In the
crowd were wives and children of the
200 men employed in the mine.
Each thought that her loved one was
in the cage. 1t was fully two hours
before the cable was adjusted so that
the cage could be raised to the sur
face and the dead turned over to
relatives. When all the miners came
from under ground and many anx-
ious wives and mothers were relieved
of suspense their joy added to the
sorrow of those bereaved and made
the scene awful. Priests and preach
ers moved among the people consol-
ing them and begging them to be
calm, but it was hours before SEM
blance OF quiet came to the excited
miners and their families.

CLEvELAND's HEALTH BETTER.
Reports OF His Condition Exag-
gerated, 1t Is Claimed.

Princeton, N. ]. Especially For
mer President Grover Cleveland is
improving in health. This was the
statement that came from the lips
of a very intimate friend of Mr..
Cleveland, who resides in Princeton
and who has kept in close touch with
the former president during his late
Illness.
This gentleman said that as a per-
sonal favor he would ask that the
reports concerning Mr.. Cleveland's
present condition be denied, as they
are grossly exaggerated. Mr. Cleve-
land, he said, is rapidly picking up
in health.
Regarding Saturdays stories of q
wrangle between Mr.. Cleveland's
physicians no verification could be
got in Princeton. DR.. Carnochan
said that DR.. Banks had not been
called in and that there was on con-
sultation anyway. From reliable
source it was learned that DR.. Bry-
ant a personal friend of Mr.. Cleve-
land, has been calling at Wostland
every Saturday and that DIR. Carno-
chan is in attendance daily.

To Tie Up Town.

Helena, Mont (Special) because
business men of Helena refused to
discontinue the use of telephones
pending a settlement of the Rock

eral strike in Helena Monday. The
result of this action, it is said, will
be a complete tieup of street car

Anxiety Tn The Army.

The commissioned personnel of
the United States Army, or, at least,
that part of it which is classed among
the field officers of the special staff
corps, is much disturbed over a dis
cussion which is rife in the War De-
partment The question has been
raised as to the extent of the appli-
cation OF the order issued some
months ago by President Roosevelt
| requiring acrobatic horsemanship of
all officers, especially of those of the
field grades. This imposed upon
colonies, lieutenant colonies and ma
jors an activity in eQuestrianism
which struck the military personnel
as dire visitation. 1t imposed upon
obese as well as indolent officers a
celebrity and endurance which was
nothing short of youthful gymnas-
~-ics. It has occurred TO someone
that, perhaps, the order might not
-Nbe relentlessly imposed upon the field
officers of the special staff corps
that is TO say. the surgeons, quarter
masters and judges advocate, for In
eetance, whose lives are sedentary
: and whose duties keep them in the
4 large cities, where they do not have
8the facilities for horsemanship with
out patronizing the livery stable.
AeHst be admitted that military
s nship under such conditions
cted by the trolley car gong
rumbling truck of commerce.,
is hoped by the officers most
ted that they will be able to
this exaction. On the other
it must be admitted that even
rmy commissary or the army
rispaster or the judge advocate

JAPAN LIKELY TO ANNEX KOREA
Marquis Ito Says They May Have
to Do Il.

Toxic (By Cable) The possibility
that Japan may have to annex Korea
seems to have again arisen. Mar,
quis Ito is quoted as having said.
that it may be necessary to alter Ja-
ans policy owing to the present sit0a-
ton; and that if the Korean people
persist in their servitude of unfriend>
illness it will be 1.-The last day for
them"
Toxic papers are receiving reports
that insurgents are gathering from
all directions around the city of
Seoul to attack it. Their number is
unknown, but one band of 500 is
reported.
Rowing parties of Koreans under
the leadership of eX-soldiers are
killing Japanese officials and civil
ians and Koreans suspected of being
pro-Japanese. These parties take to
the mountains upon the approach OF
Japanese troops, but not before suf-
fering heavily.
A new official organization of the
staff of the resident general for
Korea was submitted to the privy
council and passed. 1t is believed
1t will be promulgated on Saturday.
According to the organization the
office of deputy resident general has
been established, and it is understood
that Baron Some, the late minister
of finance in the Katsura cabinet
Will be appointed to the post.

The Harvest OF The Wtacrs.

One of the problems of the times
which come close to the average fam
ily's comfort and well-being is the
price OF food. 1t is safe to say that
in millions of American homes there
is more concern over the cost of meat
and other staples than there is on
account of the relations between the
national government and the rail-
roads, or even the recent attacks up
on the trusts. In the nature of
things the outlook is not encourag-
ing. AS the country fills up and the
population increases. relatively to the
land area which can be utilized, the
need of making the most effective
use of the fields will tend to cut
down the number of domestic ami
mails raised for food, in proportion
to the number of inhabitants. The
cattle and sheep ranges of the West
will grow more valuable, and hence
the beef and mutton they yield will
become more costly in the retail mar
kets.
These inevitable changes point to
a gradual rise in the price of flesh
foods. There will be many fiuctua-
tions but the general course will be
upward. 1t will put an increasing
premium upon poultry and eggs and
fish 1t directs attention now to the
great possibilities of the seas, the
lakes, the rivers and even the ponds
as sources of food. The water
spaces large enough for food fishes
will not be widened. There will not
be more lakes or oceans. But 1t is
certain that those which exist al
ready can be made far more produc-
tive than they are now. 1t is be-
yond question that science can show
how the food harvest of the waters
may be increased perhaps tenfold.
1t is only necessary for the govern
ments interested to use their powers
wisely.-Cleveland Leader.

No Paper Money For The Indian.

Those peculiarities are his aver

take paper money if he can avoid it.
He wants it, in the language of the

not bring himself to believe that a
small piece of printed paper eau be
worth as much or more than the
