A Dramatic Rescue

A rescue as dramatic as the most ardent playwright could desire came as the climax of two weeks of hard work following disaster which proved fatal to all save one of party of six miners. One Hicks is the hero of the affair, which has been heralded all over the country under the facetious cap lions of the press paragrapher, wbile to California belongs the credit of mak- ing the confinement of sn entombed miner endurable by providing musical
 ntertainment to keep his spirits up and liquid nourishment for the needs of his body.
 The accident, which has its unfortu- nate side, occurred i'll shaft on the tunnel of the Edison Electric Power Company, near Bakersfield, California. Six men were buried under sixty feet of earth, and only one escaped the crushing force which extinguished the lives of the other five. The survivor subsequently, communicated with those on the surface by tapping on an air pipe, and was thereafter kept alive for fortnight by liquid nou-ishment de- livered through the same pipe, while his rescusrs were working day and night driving a tunnel to reach him. His rescue on the fifteenth day was at tended with scenes of greatest joy on the part of the inhabitants of the camp.

The Dog

The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors totheir faith. The money that man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A mans reputation may be sacrificed in moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us an honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles it's cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselflsh friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves unGrateful or treach- erous, is bis dog.
 A mans dog stands by him ill pros perity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his masters side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as ii he were a prince. When all other friends desert he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its tourney through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth all outcast ln the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies, and wheu the last scene ot all comes, and death takes the master in it's embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter It all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, bis head b"tw"en his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.-Senator Vest.

Self Government for Brown
 Men
Men

4 press dispatch received by the Gold Digger yesterday informs us that President Roosevelt is preparing to give the Filipinos parlimeut of their own, ard that Mir. Taft, the secretary of war, has been ordered to the Philip pines next March to make arrange ments for the election of members of the new legislature, and to turn over to them the work done by the Filipino commission. 1t would seem that If the Filipinos are able to conduct terri torial form of government that the peo- pie of Alaska should also be given a similar privilege. The Alsskans are quite equal in intelligence to the brown men who wield the bolos and make life miserable for the United States soldiers in the Philippines, and furthermore, the white American citizens of Alaska are we'll able to support themselves as evidenced in the fact that they produce per annum more per capita than any other class of men in the world. Take the Seward peninsula as an illustration. In the past year there has been about six thousand people here, and they produced approximately eight million dollars in gold dust alone, an aver age of about thirteen hundred and thirty-rhree dollars apiece. The gold production of the whole United States is less than eighty and half million dollars, while the population IS esti- mated at more than eighty-fve and a half million people. The gold produe- tion of the people of the United States in general is therefore less than one dollar per capita, as against produc- tion of khirteen hundred and thirty three dollars per capita in the Seward peninsula
 The people wbo are able to produce this amount of gold each year, to say aothing of copper, coal, tin and other metals which will be produced here in very few years, certainly justifes the supposition tbat the people of Alaska are we'll qualified to take care of them selves in the way of bearing the cost of the framing of tbeir own laws. When Mr. Waskey has another conference with the President or any of the nation al legislators, 1t might be we'll for him to poinS out these feets.-Gold Digger.

THE DIET OF CONSERVATIVES.
overfeedins Recommended, But Prop.
er Digestion Must Be Assured.

Herbert c. Clapp, OF Boston, writing
in the Medical Record, says that diet
Is most important factor in tho
treatment OF tuberculosis. A con.
sumptive is much more likely to eat
too little than too much. Systematic
overfeeding with proper digestion OF
the food are the accepted remedies.
The food must be palatable and well
served and the amount must vary
with the patient and his circum-
stances. The outdoor air will enable
him to assimilate large amounts. MIX
and eggs are the best foods to pro-
duce fats, which are most necessary
to the patient. The author advocates
three solid meals day. with lunches
between of milk and eggs, about three
quarts OF milk and six eggs day be-
ing taken. Fresh meats are especially
necessary for these patients. but
mixed diet is undoubtedly the best
borne. Meat Juice Is valuable. Pastry.
candy. fried foods and cabbage should
be let alone. Alcohol is not advisable,
but coffee. tea and chocolate may be
taken moderately.

Worship Of Snakes.

Snakes, the objects of terror Ia
most Europeans in eastern lands. are
worshiped In many parts Of India. In
some districts there are from $4,000
to 10000 shrines dedicated exclus
lively to the worship of snakes. These
shrines, which are Invariably In hon
or of one Of the minor divinities OF
the country. possess. in some In
stances valuable properties for their
maintenance and for the cost Of the
numerous ceremonies which their
keepers have to perform. In these
shrines the Hindus net up fantastic
idols OF serpents. The devotees OF
this strange religion make periodical
offerings OF dough and milk and
cooked rice to the serpents living in
the shrine in order to receive their
favor.-Detroit News-Tribune.

from 15 per cent. for the left to 35
per cent. for the right. In Germany
20 to 28 per cent. and even as high
as 1873 per cent. has been awarded.
The percentage is based on 100 as the
total value Of the hand, industriously

PRETTY HOT WEATHER
HEALTH CONDITIONS GOOD

Even the old timers will admit that
the weather has been unusually warm
here during the last two or three
weeks, but Notwithstanding that fact
health conditions are very good. 1t
is generally understood that hot
weather is conducive to disease,
particularly of fevers, but very few
deaths have resulted from these causes
here this summer and physicians re-
port fewer cases of serious illness
than commo for this season of the
year. Some fears were expressed a
month or so ago that there would be
an epidemic of typhoid fever here
during the heated term, but all dan
ger from that source seems to have
been dispelled by the advancing sea-
son. The shorter days with their
cooler nights promise an even better
healthfulness and an increased physi-
cal comfort, to the hale and hearty as

Knobs O, Tennessee.

The beautiful comedy drama, Knobs
O'Tennessee, which is to be present
ed here Wednesday, August IA by the
W. j. Swain Company is one Of the
strongest and most popular plays ever
written by that master mind of the
dramatic art, Mr.. Hal Reid.
Knobs o. Tennessee, Mr.. Reid's
latest play, is said to be even better
than either Human Hearts" or
Roanoke" by the same author,
which will be remembered with
pleasure by everyone who witnessed
either Of them. The scenes of
Knobs o. Tennessee are laid amid the
foothills Of the mountains of Tennessee
which are noted for thier beautiful
scenery and are inhabited by the
moonshiners of that state, whose in
herited belief that they have per-
feet right to make moonshine whis-
key, regardless Of government laws to
the contrary, keeps them at constant
war with the government secret
service men.
The play abounds with exciting
climaxes and comedy situations, and
has n beautiful love story running
through it from beginning to end.
One solid car load of scenery is car
ried by the Swain Company and they
give the entire show the same AS they
did in the big theatres throughout
the East. The entire production has
been placed under mammoth water
proof tent for the summer months.
The Swain company travel in their
own private cars, carry their own
horses and everything necessary to
produce the play properly.

Many Men Getting a Sensible Habit.

In the last few days it has become
the popular thing to step in Wangler
Bros. drug store and get pocketful
of Wadsworth Bros "Chicos. 8
cent cigar that has caused many men
to get what may be called the
'Ohicos'' habit.
1t is far more sensible to smoke a
good cent cigar like the ''Chico"
land there is no other 5 cent cigar
like IT'D than to pay double the price
and get no better smoke. 1t is made
with a clear. long Havana filler, and
is especially pleasing to the man who
has been smoking 10 cent or two for
a quarter cigar. 1t burns freely, and
tastes good clear to the stub.

do not get into the habit of frequent
ing Wangler Bros. drug store for
your supply of cigars. 1913

BURGLARY at Arlington.

Silk thieves raided the general store
of VIM. Welch at Arlington early Sat-
urday morning and got away with
5000 worth of silk and team of
horses worth $40O. The crooks van
ished as completely and mysteriously
as though they never existed. The
team of horses was stolen to transport
the thieves and their plumber. After
midnight Friday the plate glass in the
front door of the store was broken. A
hole sufficiently large was made to
insert hand and the snap lock on
the inside was thus manipulated and
the door easily opened. The silk
counters of the store were swept clean
of every piece of goods on them and
among other articles taken were a
dozen pairs of mems trousers. The
boards ON which the various bolts OF
silk were wrapped were slipped out
and the silk placed in coffee sack.
The safe in the store was not
molested and the work is generally
thought to have been done by gang
of systematically organized silk
thieves who unload their plumber at .
"fence'' said to be located at Des
Moines.
