ONE WHO HAS HAD ENOUGH.

Lolita Has Never Yearned for tho
Stage Since She Left 1t.
The recent purchase of Sonoma GirI
by Lolita NJ. Crabtree for $4,000 has
brought this once famous little actress
Lolita once more into the public eye.
says the New York Evening Sun. In
the years which have passed since her
retirement Miss Crabtree has amassed
very large fortune in real estate ana
has developed into remarkably
shrewd business woman who insists
upon conducting all her business deals
herself. In recent interview she was
asked If she ever had a desire to re-
turn to the stage and her reply proves
that there is at least one actress who
has found business a fine panacea for
art.
mot for single day since I retired
have l ever wished to 60 back even
for one performance" said Lotta. II
60 to the theater a great deal and en-
joy 1t. I love to CO. but ON the STACEY
never. I remember discussing that
subject with Joseph Jefferson once.
Mr.. Jefferson told me that he could not
exist without the applause of the pub
lie.
II have never felt that yearning
since | left the stage. I think 1t is IA
fine thing to have had the favor of the
public and l look back upon my stage
life with gratitude to all the people
who used to come to the theater and
showed that they liked me. l like to
remember the good will and the re-
spect that they have shown me, butt
for me the applause Of the public 10
now only pleasant memory. I have
no desire to seek it any more.
MY happiest thoughts as 1 remem-
ber the years on the stage are Of the
foudness OF women and children for
me- l may say it Is with a feeling Of
pride that l recall the popularity I en-
joyed with them. / can say that no
woman or child ever came to see a
play Of mine and was offended. Ny
plays were always innocent, of good
moral tone and it is worth something
to be ebie to say that you kept the re-
spcct and admiration Of women ana
children By wholesome methods"

BLACK DAMP HORROR
THIRTY men KILLED In Penn
SYLVANIA COAL Mine.
Miner Is Said to Have Entered Mine
With an Open Lamp-Gas Found Is
So Poisonous No Human Being Can
Live In lt-ExpIosion Could Be
Heard for Miles Around.

Fayette City, Pa, Dec. 3.-Between
25 and 80 miners, possibly more, are
entombed in the Naomi mine of the
United Coal company, located three
miles west of this city, and there is
practically no hope that any of them
are alive The Imprisonment is due to
an explosion of black damp about
o'clock last night, soon after the night
force went to work.
1t is said a miner entering an old
working with an open lamp caused the
explosion. Had the explosion occurred
on other than Sunday night more vic
tins would have been entombed The
mine employed from 275 to 300 regu-
larly, about one-fourth of them driv-
ing entry at night, but on Sunday
nights only about one-half the night
force goes to work. The mine is of the
shaft type and the concrete sides OF
the entry were broken down so as to
close the passage back a considerable
distance. About 100 feet from the en-
trance is located the first airshaft and
from this deadly gas is pouring in
great volumes. The gas found in mines
in this territory is so poisonous that
no human being can live in it for more
than a few minutes and it is believed
none of the entombed men are still
alive One man, an unidentified for
eigner, managed to climb to the top of
the first airshaft, but dropped dead
there. No sign of life has come from
the others.
Just after the night force entered
the shaft there was a flash which
| lighted up the mine and all around it.
| There was a roar as tons of coal and
slate crashed down the entries crowded
with workmen.' Then utter darkness
| followed, the explosion putting out of
| business the lighting and air facilities
in the mine. The mine Immediately
filled with gases and several persons
perished while running to get into the
| fresh air.
The shock of the explosion shook
buildings in Fayette City and could be
heard for miles. In the homes of min
ers the explosion fell like a death sig
nal and emptied every miners cottage
i'll the vicinity. The occupants of these
men, women and children-form the
saddest picture in the scenes about the
mine this morning. The women and
children are crying and stare with
hope at the seemingly fruitless work
of rescue. The Naomi mine is one of
the oldest operated by the United Coal
company, which has it's principal office
in Pittsburg. 1t is one of the biggest
mines in the soft coal region and gave
work to 300 men all the year round.
The property loss will be enormous
as the mine was equipped at cost
of thousands of dollars with all the
up-to-date mine apparatus, such as
electric lights, electric coal cars and
air ventilating system. The explosion
completely wrecked the air system and
that in itself means that no human
being can live long in the mine as it
now is Thousands are fiocking to the
mine mouth, where every means
known to mine operation is being ex-
erted to reach the men. Aid has been
secured from Monongahela City, Bell
virton and other neighboring towns.

COAL Mine FRAUDS.
GOVERNMENT AGENT WAS
Murdered In COLORADO.
Secret Service Men Say Charge Can
Be Proved-Say They Have the
Hesperus Mine, According to Denver
News, May Develop Into Sensation.

The Denver News publishes a story
that Chief WilRie of the United States
secret service is in possession of a
mass of evidence, some of which will
be verified by witnesses and much
more of circumstantial nature, that
10 men are involved in the alleged con-
spiracy to murder United States Sc
cret Service Agent Joseph Walker,
who was killed at the Hesperus mine,
near Durango, Col, recently by
miner named Vanderweide, while in
search of evidence to be used in the
prosecution of men indicted on the
charge of defrauding the government
out of valuable coal lands. Chief
Will1ie is preparing detailed report,
which will be- submitted to President
Roosevelt on his request at an early
date.
Since the death of Walker, 80 men
have been in the neighborhood gather
ing evidence and when Chief Wilkie
visited that section a few days ago a
full report was made to him. The claim
that Walker was shooting at Wander
weide and Superintendent Mason of
the Hesperus mine, who was with Van
derweide at the time the latter killed
Walker, has always been secuted by
the government agents, on the theory
that it would have been impossible to
have shot Walker in the manner he
was shot had he been facing the men
and shooting at them.
Following this view, they made et-
forts to ascertain ii there was others
present at the time of the shooting and
have learned that four other men, all
armed with rifles, were near by and
were present, they claim, for the pur-
pose of carrying out the alleged plan
to murder Walker. 1t is further as
serted on good authority that. the
names of these four men are in the
possession Of the government repre-
sentatives, and they will be appre-
hended in due time. The local branch
of the department of justice has served
19 subpenas upon persons requiring
them to appear before the federal
grand jury, which will meet in Denver
December II, and has about dozen
more to serve.
Of the persons already served, it is
said that several are under suspicion
of being connected with the alleged
conspiracy to kill Walker. An effort tC
verify the above through Mr.. Wheeler
and United States District Attorney
Earl Cranston was unavailing, both
men refusing to confir NOR deny the
story Another development in the
investigation of the Walker killing is
the fact that an effort will be made tC
prosecute Vanderweide and Mason
who are now charged with murder, in
the federal court. Should the fedora
court take cognizance of this connten
ton. the Colorado law providing capi
tai punishment would be made to ap
ply.

STATE HEALTH OFFICER TALKS

Physicians from Racine, Kenosha
and Walworth counties, members of
the Second District Medical Society,
met at Guild Hall in Racine Thursday
for their annual session. The num-
Der in attendance was not as large as
expected, there being but twenty-five
physicians and surgeons present when

reports of the president and DR.. ]. R.
| Eastman, of Kenosha, the secretary,
the members proceeded to elect off,
GERS for the ensuing year.
| When motion was made to elect

whether the society had since its or
ganization adopted constitution ard
bylaws and it was discovered that
this had not been done. Debate fol-
lowed on the question and the election
of officers was put aside for a few
minutes and then referred to nom
mating committee. A motion was
made that committee be appointed
to draw up constitution and bylaws
to be adopted today, but that motion
was tabled and motion to appoint a
committee to draw up constitution
and bylaws aud then submit them to
the meetings of the three county So
cieties in December was adopted.
The District Medical Society is af.
filiated with the Wisconsin State
Medical Society and some members
pres amed that the constitution of the
state society prevailed with district
societies. The nomina nscommittee
recommended the election of DIR. H. J..
Stalker, of Kenosha, as president, and
of DR.. NJ. V. DeWire, of Sharon, Wal
worth county, as secretary and treas
urer and they we're unanimously
elected.
After dinner at Hotel Racine the
session reconvened at 1880 O'Clock,
when papers we're read by DR.. j. c..
Reynolds, of Lake Geneva, and DR..
e. a. Harper, Of Madison, secretary
of the State Board Of Health. The
subject of DR.. Reynolds paper was
Management and Control of the
Physical and Mental Developments of

"Not Takinq Any"

An amusing story is being told con
corning a certain duchess and little
Prince Henry Of Wales. The duchess
was staying at SaDdringham, and tea
was being served in the big hall.
Prince Henry, who was present, was
made much of by the ladies, and the
duchess, in her sweetest tones, said to
him:
Come here, dear. and give me a
kiss
Prince Henry came, gave a good
look at her and then said in his shriIl,
childish treble:
Thank you, some other day"
Tt was quite irresistible; no one could
help smiling, and happily the duchess
sense of humor was sufficient to per-
nit her to enjoy laugh against her
self.

MILK TO COST MORE
kenosha Dealers Agree to Raise
the Price to Seven Cents a
Quart on Nov LIST
FARMERS INCREASE PRICE

At meeting of the Milk Dealers
Association of Kenosha held on We'd
nesday evening it was decided that
after the first of November the price
of milk in Kenosha will be raised to
seven cents quart. The change in
price will be accepted by all dealers
in the city as it is now claimed that
all are members of the Association.
Another meeting will be held before
the formal announcement Of the in
crease in price is made but it is
definitely decided that the old price
Of six cents will be cut off after the
first of next month.
The milk dealers claim that they
will not make cent on the increase
in the price but they will lose money
on the milk in comparison with the
former prices. The farmers have in
creased the price of milk from go
cents to SIPS per can and the milk
man will receive an increase of but
80 cents a can.
The Kenosha dealers claim that the

milk dealers in Chicago who are now
receiving fabulous prices for milk.
These men are in the market for all
the milk they can secure, and it is
claimed that the farmers who are now
shipping milk to Chicago are selling
it at the rate of ST. As per can, twenty
cents more than they can get for it
at the stations in Kenosha.
The only thing that keeps any milk
In this county is the fact that the
farmers feel more certain of their pay
when selling it to the Kenosha deal
ers, and in addition to this they dc
not have so much trouble getting it te
market.
The good old days when milk was
sold at Ave cents a quart seem to have
gone beyond recall, and the dealers
state positively that it will be impos
sible to sell milk for less than sever
cents quart at any period of the
year, and it is possible that further
increase In the cost of milk may come
at any time.
Chicago people buying milk at re
tail are paying as high as ten cents Z
quart, and the average price in the
larger cities is seven cents.

The Lion In The JUNGLE.

Frederick Seous, the African pio-
neer, says in one OF his books that reg
ular habits and high living agree with
lions and other brutes and that those
exhibited in menageries are much
handsomer than those the hunter
meets in the jungle. Then their hab-
its are not so creditable as people In
civilized countries suppose. They will
be shocked to learn that the lion
feeds on meat in the most advanced
stage of decomposition because he is
too lazy to hunt for fresh meat They
have taken it for granted that the
king Of the forest carries a high head
as he sweeps along over the plain, but
Selous says he trots along with his
head behind his shoulders like any
common cur.
