AN AWFUL DEATH.

Samuel Bateman. n master mason,
met a most horrible death in Pued-

covering a roaring gas furnace at
the steel works gave way under his
feet and Bateman was precipitated
into the hell of fire below and was
almost Instantly cremated
Bateman had just started to work
in the open hearth department and
was taking notes. when he stepped
backward directly onto the manhole
cover. The lid. having been heated
until it was flexible crumbled under
his feet and he dropped into the tube
Superhuman efforts were made by
those who witnessed the accident to
shut the compartment. but 1t WINS
nearly ten minutes before this could
be done. The escaping gas was ter
rife, but several men rislSed their
lives and grappled for Bateman's
body with hooks At one time the
body was caught. But the clothing
and flesh had been so badly burned
that it fell to the bottom of the pit
After the gas had left the compart-
ment sheet of iron was placed under
the body and 1t was thus raised to the
surface with ropes. The mass of flesh
and charred bones was afterward re-

the most peculiar cases in the his

Allison is nearly GO years old,
while the plaintiff is about the same

most sensational and include a de-

The plaintiff charges that in July

The hankering that some of the
Grand Valley people had to spend the
winter in California, has been to
considerable extent dampened Those
who have gone to California this year
have had about as much fun. an one
might have in a fog bank down along
the Massachusetts coast. From the
record of the weather in California
and In San Francisco in particular,
we find that there has been more rain
there than has fallen in seventeen
years. The rain has fallen continu-
ously for a period of twenty-one DAYS.
Word comes from many of those
who went to California for a few
months of rest and recreation that.
they have found the weather beast
ly. Compared with the weather OF
the Grand Valley as it has been for
the past month, it certainly must be

The government has some experts
in most every department. In the de-
partment of postofIices and post
roads the matter of mail routes is
determined. Also In this depart
ment the compensation is made to
the railroads. 1t has been discovered
that the weighing process, by which is
determined the average amount in
pounds of mail carried for each day.
has been greatly at fault, perhaps
purposely. The weight of the mails
was taken for period of seven days.
but instead of dividing that total
amount by seven for the number of
days in the week, It was divided by
six, which anyone will understand
would give the railroads n higher
average than If divided by seven.
Every means seems to be taken to
beat the government on every hand.

ernment. If the various departments
of the government have experts in

proflted by the error, which was dis

NO LOVE SCHOOL NEEDED

That proposition of a Chicago man
to establish a school of courtship and
lovemaking is about as foolish an idea
as has been exploited in many a long
day. 1t is quite fitting that 1t shoull
come out of the Windy City; perhaps
that town. now being the divorce center
Of the world, feels that almost any
project to influence and expedite mat
rimony is justifiable, but to the world
at large it looks like the widest flight
of fancy.
LoVemaking abilities are inherent in
all mankind, and little development is
required when one meets his or her
affinity to bring them to the perfection
of effectuality. God has endowed every
form of creature, from the protoplasm
up, with the power to make a choice
of mate, and no schooling is ever re
quired when the crucial moment comes.

OF course there cannot be denied the
fact that the average man who goes tc

stumbling, haltinE. stammered plea,

profound? Would she have the same
regard for it's sincerity? Would it
prove as true and honest and con-
vincing, as earnest and compelling ?
Hardly. 1t would be about as joyful
as ia the impassioned argument of the
stage leading man to the lady whom he
may evn hate, and yet whom, in his
histrionic art, he must win and wed.
And, too, would not a maChine-made
love plea prove as disappointing i'll an
other way-would it not deprive the
lady of that exquisite sense of doubt
and uncertainty, that joy of gently urg-
ing yet coyly deprecating which to her
is half the supreme ecstasy of the
affair? How could she subtilely lead
on through the mazes of confusion into
the safe harbor of acceptance a man
who glibly recited a connoted lesson
in phrases not from his heart but in

would mean the death of romance, the
destruction of loves glamour; it would

WORRY UP NORTH

The san Francisco bosses of the
legislature succeeded In paving the way
for a popular vote on the capital mov-
ing question, but that was an easy Job.
II was necessary only, as reported,
FOR the chieftau ~ the Southern Pa
cihc 20 order his satellites to move the
seat of government and they did what
they could"
Even that comparatively easy feature
OF the sob, however has disclosed
thorns iu the pathway that are causing
anxiety to many OF the statesmen who
rushed the removal scheme through the
legislature. II is intimated that the
methods OF persuasion or coercion em-
ployed in pushing the bill were Of a
character that calls for investigation
by the Sacramento grand jury.
But It is hardly worth the powder for
Sacramento to "go cunning" for legis-
lators who yielded to the demands of
the San Francisco influence in favor
of removing the capital to Berkeley. 1t
is not strange that the sweeping 1egis-
lative vote for the change has caused
anxiety in Sacramento, but the decis-
ion rests with the electoral, not with
the law-making. power of the state.
Notwithstanding the power of the
San Francisco political gang, 1t is
doubtful II a majority of voters in the
northern part of the state would vote
for the building of a new capitol
structure at Berkeley or elsewhere. The
question of cost would be bar to an
affirmative vote on the proposition. The
northern communities are strangers,
generally, to such prosperity as those Of
the southland enjoy, and they will not
relish the invitation to chip in a few
million dollars of their hard earnings to
fatten the official teaches of San Fran
cisco.
Sacramento may be assured that
Southern California will kill that capt.
tai moving scheme so that it will be as
dead as the late Rameses of Egypt. 1t
is safe to say that when the proposition
comes to vote not one southland voter
in fifty will indorse it.

THE RUSH TO THE CITIES

Within few years, according to esti-
mates of the census bureau, so per cent
of the population of the United States
will be domiciled in cities of 5000 in
habitants or more. This of course, is
based upon the present movement of
population in this country. Everywhere
the country Is being deserted and cities
are growing altogether out of propor-
ton. Good cause for alarm may be
found in this prediction, for most of the
discomfort in every age of the world
has had place in urban populations.
Life in cities seems naturally to give
birth to ideas of unrest. Revolutions
have always originated in towns,
whereas country-b bred folks are slow to
join them. This is because in the coun-
try people are better satisfied because
they are better off. They may lack
some of the devices of civilization, but
their life is more complete in the es-
sential details.
But these advantages do not out
weigh those of urban life, and so more
and more men are leaving the farm to
make their living in the cities. They
are not content to live in comfort, but
are eager to have a try in the markets
where they hear that millionaires are
made overnight. Work on a farm is
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

remunerative, but after all, it is work,
and the cities offer to the few who
succeed the possibility of living with
out work. AS matter of fact, the
rich in the city do not really live with
out work. Their work is wearing and
continuous, but the farm lad cannot
understand that. He pictures to him.
