taurants and cafes were filed tonight
as they probably never have been be-

ner parties bent upon bidding an APP

and welcome to the new one. In
all OF the fashionable downtown res
taurants nearly every table mad been
reserved weeks in advance.
The streets presented carnival ap-
pearance. An illuminated ball on the
Masonic Temple, released by an cleo
trio signal from Washington on the
stroke Of twelve, signalled the advent
of the New Year. and the hilarity,
which seemed to have been under full
pressure all evening, broke forth with
redoubled vigor. sss

DAMP
KILLS MANY
COAL MINERS

Santa Fe, NJ NJ, Dec. 31-Explo-
sion of fire damp this afternoon en-
tombed 80 miners in the Bernel coal
mine at Carthage, Socorro county,
owned by the Carthage Fuel com
pany. It is supposed all are dead,
nine bodies having been taken out
already.
Fortunately forty men employed in
the mines had not returned from
their dinner when the explosion oc-
cured
Carthage is on the branch line of
the aSnte Fe line from Albuquerque
to Ell Paso, Texas, and is one of the
oldest mining camps in the territory.
1t is believed that the mines are on
fire as result of the explosion. The
miners are Americans and Mexicans
with a few Greeks and Italians.
Only Nine Killed
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Dec. 31-At
least nine miners were killed and
three fatally and two seriously in
jured in the explosion of gas and coal
dust at noon today in the Bernal
mine at Carthage, Socorro county,
New Mexico, one of the three large
coal mines owned by the Carthage
Fuel company. Nine dead bodies have
been taken out and although the mine
is still filled with gas, it is believed
that no more victims remain in the
workings. C. L. Wilcox, the Ameri-
can mine boss. is among those who
were killed.

shrill shrieks of hundreds of whis-
ties of industrial Birmingham, an
nouncing the advent of the New Year,
every saloon in the city closed its.
doors sine die.
Tonight was the time set for pro
hibition to go into effect in those
counties of Alabama in which local
option elections have been held dur
ing the year.
When the result of the election to-
day in Crenshaw county became
known and it was added to the pro-
hibition ranks, there were exactly
fifty counties Of the state that close
the doors of saloons permanently to-
night. This. leaves seventeen counties
in which liquor can be sold for an
other year. One year from tonight
the entire state becomes prohibition
by statutory act.
Of the wet counties for the next
year. only four are exclusively saloon
counties: Mobile, Montgomery, Dal
LAS and Baldwin. There are twelve
exclusive dispensary counties.
Jefferson county, in which Birm-
ingham is located, is by far the larg-
est county in the state and in Birm-
ingham alone 100 saloons went out
of business at midnight. A remark
able feature Of the last day under the
lliquor regime is the fact that there
was less drunkenness noted than fol

splendid PROGRESS MADE BY BISMARCK IN The PAST YEAR

Fire department has been reorgan-
ixed and placed upon a solid footing
and good results will certainly obtain
in the future.
Through the endeavors of the bust
ness men, via the medium of the
Commercial club, the rail and mail
facilities in and out Of the city have
been largely bettered and other steps
taken making for a greater Bismarck,
and the proper development of the
commercial possibilities Of the city.
The Commercial club is representative
of the business heart of the city and
continuing in the direction started
will always WELD a powerful influence
for the city's best interests.
AS compared with other cities of the
west Bismarck has enjoyed excellent
health conditions the past year. There
have been no epidemics of any kind
and while quite a number of deaths
have occurred here, it must he remem-
bered that many Of those who have
died here came from other towns for
treatment and should not really be
charged to the city. On the other
hand the people have not been lax in
the biblical command: increase and
multiply We have been doing quite
well. thank you, and the town is fun
OF the handsomest babies the sun ev-
er shone on and quite a number of
them have been selected as future
presidents.
During the year the open saloons
have been banished and in q large
measure the sale of intoxicating Ii.
quors curtailed. The authorities, city,
county and state, have been vigilant
and every effort has been made to sup.
press the sale entirely, and what Ii
quor is now sold Is sold In secret and
at great risk Other evils have been
suppressed, or an effort made in that
direction. and Bismarck can stand be.

The year that came to close last
night will be remembered as one of
the most prosperous that Bismarck
and Burleigh county have yet seen and
the new year opens with all thankful
for past successes and full Of faith in
the city's future.
In building operations the sum to-
tai for 1907 exceeded all previous
years. grand total of over 100000
having been expended in Bismarck
during the year. This expenditure
covers business blocks, residences, adj
ditions at the penitentiary, Fort Lin
coin, Indian school, and for industrial
works. three-quarters Of the money go
ing into the first two items.
Notwithstanding the great amount
of building done the past year the de-
mand for business buildings and for
homes continues abreast of the sup.
ply and the coming year will see a
continuance Of the building boom OF
the past.
During the year the telephone sys.
TEN of the city has been completely
overhauled and placed upon the most
improved basis.
The electric light system has been
largely augmented, is upto-date in
every respect and is giving the best
service in the state.
The water supply Of the city has
been almost doubled, extended and in
many ways bettered so that almost
the entire city is now served with
the purest water In the world.

lesson, had not seen all this; but Rose, called
to the blackboard near the platform, faltered
blundered and finally broke down in her
recitation.
Miss Shepard was plainly annoyed. II
must have seemed unaccountable to her that
this day, of all days, her class should show
to so little advantage.
Even the girls not in our secret had
minds from The lesson, and as for those the
teachers always depended on to reflect credit
on the whole class-acute Dolly and brilliant
little Edmee-they were utterly demoralized;
1t was dreadful hour. Miss Shepard
managed somehow to conduct the recitation
to a close, but the shamefaced six of us
could take no interest in mathematics.
If only Jessie didn't draw so WE'LL" was
fessed
easily, recognized. Major Dwyer amused him
self by leisurely comparing them with the
originals. Roses oval face, with the heavy
hair coiled above it; Edmee, with her odd,
childish braids; plump Dolly, with her glasses;
Nina's unruly curls-these were easily Sc
lected; while as for me-oh, I was conspicu-

ing of the absurdly large ''D'' on the corner

AS we passed from the room we saw Miss
Shepard turn to the guests. We knew she
would soon have an explanation of the mat
ter.
We felt it to be most fortunate thing
that we need not face her again in class
that day. We suffered agonies of dread in
the thought that Major Dwyer might follow
us to another classroom; but we were spared
that ordeal
Time dragged most YEARLY till the afte-
noon hour of recreation came, and we could
hide together in a corner
"You are so unbearably careless, jessie"
Rose said, with severity. II beg you never
to include me in one of your sketches again,

Nina amused herself devising fantastic o,n
ishments in store for us.

"Lock the door, and don't let any one in."
entreated Dolly.
But Jessie opened the door and admitted
Miss Shepard.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-09-06

She had come in with a somewhat serious
alr, but she smiled at sight of our disconso-
late faces. She sat down without the invj-
tation no one had presence of mind to givs
her.

We could not say much. Miss Shepard
soon left US. AS she rose to go, she passed
familiar bit of paper to Jessie.
"Mrs Dwyer is my cousin" she said "so
was not afraid to ask Major Dwyer for
this. / thought you would prefer to have it
under your control"
Jessie looked gratefully at Miss Shepard as
she tore the sketch into little pieces.
Rose started up with an impulsiveness
rare for her.
''That is good of you, Miss Shepard" she
cried
The rest of us murmured incoherent sea.

She had drawn bridal procession. Dolly
with veil, bouquet and train, leaned on the
arm of a boldly-imagined Major Dwyer; the
rest of us followed as bridesmaids, and Miss
Shepard, weeping, brought up the rear.
The bell rang before the laughter excited
by this performance of Jessie's had dled
away, and we had to go quietly to bed; but
all this had much increased the curiosity we
should naturally have felt in regard to the
coming visitor.
Through the time of the morning recita-
tions we had opportunity for only few hur-
ried whispers between the class rooms:
Il saw him going into Junior French. or,
DO you suppose he will come in any OF our
classes?
Whats up in your clique now?" de-
manded one of. the girls not in the secrets
of the clique"
We chose not to tell. Such funny things
as we had said, such crowning joke as
Jessie's sketch, were too good to be shared
with all the class.
We filed into the geometry class with
amusement hardly to be repressed; for there
on the platform by Miss Shepard's desk sat
Major Dwyer.
1t took away something from the fun that
a lady visitor accompanied him; and he was
not himself exactly the hero of romance
that Nina's imagination had pictured him.
81 think he's married. and Dolly's heart
will break" Nina scribbled on the fly leaf of
the exercise book she obligingly lent me.
In fact, it now appeared so ordinary and
uninteresting a matter, this visit of middle
aged gentleman and his wife to the semi
nary, that our fun had pretty nearly come to
an end, and we had settled ourselves to give
attention to the lesson, when new excite
ment became manifest.
Jessie Drinkwater was seen to shake the
leaves of her books, as if in anxious search
for something which should be between them.
She managed to communicate her alarm to
Nina and Rose, whose faces expressed great
dismay
gave an instructive glance toward the
platform, to see if these signs of disorder
had come to Miss Shepard's notice. What
was passing there arrested my attention even
before / realized its connection with Jessie's
trouble.
Major Dwyer was surveying with evident
amusement paper which he held; the lady
beside him had leaned forward to see what
had interested him.
He looked up from the paper to glance
over the class, his attention seeming to rest
here and there, with increase of his amuse-
ment.
The news was telegraphed from one to an
other of Major Dwyer has Jessie's

INN one of the many evening hours at
the seminary, when we were allowed
M to go from room to room as we
wished, and when an amount OF
Rnoise and frolic was tolerated which would
1have been considered scandalous at any other
time, a congenial half dozen of us were IN
4 Our favorite meeting place.
This was the studio-so called, because walls,
doors and furniture were hung with the
sketches of our artist, Jessie, and the dainty
needlework of her sister Nina.
Somewhat Bohemian in their tastes were
Jessie and Nina Drinkwater; easily pleased,
&utterly without care for the morrow. 1t was
no wonder we preferred the freedom Of their
Prooms to the more conventional hospitality
of our studious Dolly, who expected us to
firing bell for a last review of her Virgil les
SON; or of stately Rose, who set the chairs
straight as we left the room and picked up
our scraps of paper before our very eyes. =,
Nina had been out on some ,errand. She
came rushing in, with her usual impetuosity,
interupting one Of the stories we liked to
coax Edmee to tell of her childhood in France.
"Girls!' she cried; you'd better be get
ting your lessons up in style. We're going to
have company in the classes Tomorrow.
"Who?" "How do you know",
"Young ladies, be calm. You really should
cultivate more repose of manner. Prepare to
bear the shock of what | am about to tell
You; Girls, | think sheppys got beau, -.

tions and explanations, almost drowning a
remonstrance from Rose, who was Nina's
ehun and felt deeply the responsibility of
training her in the way she should go:
why win you use that word beau? 1t
is insufferably common"
1t did not occur to even Rose that to men
tion Miss Shepard, whom none of us meant
to treat with disrespect, as "Sheppy," was
an Objectionable form of speech.
Nina hid her face in the pillows, and had
to be coaxed out TO tell her story.
4 "Well, when / was down stairs, Sheppy
was showing a man round the rooms. Oh,
my, girls, he was elegant! Tall, dark and
handsome. And madam came along, and ]
caught the name when Sheppy introduced
him, Major Dwyer. / heard them talking
about his coming to visit school tomorrow,
and longed to hear more; but madam look
he'd at me then, and had to pass Non."
= Our discussion of this subject was confu-
sion of school girl jesting, too foolishly frivo-
! lous to report, but then affording US great
delight.
While we talked, Jessie's facile pencil skim
med over scrap of paper; and she held up
lfor us to see, when our curiosity became ur-
9gent. one Of her clever sketches.
