A Disappointing Success.

He longed to be q Millionaire,
And have a private car;
To dine with choicest bills of fare,
And smoke big cigar.
To hear the people gayly shout,
With smiles so free and fair:
Just clear the route and all turn out;
Here comes the billionaire!"
He gained the wealth. But men, alas!
Neer followed out his plan;
They whispered predatory class
Or, swollen fortune clan"
The only time they ceased to frown,
And spoke of him as great
Was when he took his check book down
And offered to donate!

hably be moved to Sage and Mill

along the street are said to be in
favor of putting in cement sidewalks

WOMAN IS
V|CT|M|zED
$3.50 Earned by
Toll Stolen from
Mrs. MOreL0ndS
Home by Sneak

Mrs. w. j. Moreland, of East Ely
made discovery on Wednesday after
noon that she had been robbed of
$3.50 in cash and some valuable pap
ers which she had concealed in her
home, near the Cumberland hotel.
Trace of the thieves has been
found by the officers working on the
case but 1t is believed they have
made good their escape from the
district, II not the state, and outside
officers have been notified of the oc-
curence.
Mrs. Moreland. who is known
among the residents of the district
as an honest. hardworking woman,
has been washing for living, pay
ing by degrees for a. home she pur-
chased and at the same time taking
care of a sick husband in Denver.
She intended going to Denver in a
few days to visit him, intending to
take the $3.50 with her the amount
representing her savings from many
months of hard work.
She intended to place the money
in bank and check upon 1t as she
needed 1t, but neglected to do so,
considering the place where she had
hidden it entirely safe On Wednes-
day she went to the place for the
purpose of getting the money but
found that it had been stolen, while
she was away from home on either
Tuesday or Wednesday. The officers
were notified and think they have
succeeded in tracing the guilty person
out of the district. officers all over
the country have been notified.
General indignation prevails over
the theft among people who know
Mrs. Moreland personally and are
aware of the hard work she had to
do to save the money and the many
sacrifices she had 10 make to that
end.

CARPENTER WHO DIED SUDDEN
LY IL FOUND TO HAVE con-
SIDERABLE CASH AND REALTY
-ADMINISTRATo IL ASKED.

An ususual state of affairs Is ev-
ident at the court house, petition for
administratorship of the estate of
David McVey. who died on September
2S of paralysis having been filed yes
terday. The body of the deceased
will be sent away this morning 10
Washington. for burial. The hling
of the petition was made necessary
because of funds being Immediately
necessary. The condition in which
he left his affairs shows that Mr.
McVey deserved the respect of his
fellows, as in his possession were
nine unpaid wage checks amounting
to $499. cash to the amount OF 500
and a certificate of deposit for $500,
besides deed to ranch in Washing
ton valued at more thanS 900. There
was $50 due him on last months
account at the time of his death and
his personal effects are valued at S25
The petition for administration is
entered by District Attorney Eddy
as public administrator and declares
that immediate adjustment of the es-
tate is necessary. The ranch deed
is not included in the petition, as the
property is not in this state. A num-
ber of the friends of the deceased
will probably be at the train this
morning to see the body sent away.

SEOUL, Korea. Aug. 1s.--In order
to terrlfy the Koreans into obedience
to Japanese rule. a reign OF terror
has been inaugurated by the Japan
ese government by daily and publicly
hanging those who rebel against

capitol. The orders for execution
were sent out three weeks ago by
japanese officials and the japanese
soldiers put them into execution. No
suspect escapes and the wholesale ex-
ecutions have caused the Koreans to
become panic stricken not knowing
when or who may fall a victim to
the japanese cruelty.

MINE EXPLOSION:
MINERS PERISH
Twenty Bodies RecOvered---Rescue
Work Stopped by Fire

WIGAN. England. Aug. l9.-The
Mayhole collier Is the scene OF a
terrific mine horror which has cost
the lives Of many men, An explo-
sion occurred early this morning and
between so and 100 men are known
to have persisted in the mine. Res
cuers were put to work Immediately
after the explosions and 20 bodies
have been brought out and II Is
claimed that there are not less than
go men beyond the reach OF the
rescuers with no hope OF their be-
ing brought out alive. The FIRE fol-
lowing the explosion prevents the
prosecution of the rescue work and
hope has been abandoned OF taking
any Of the imprisoned miners out
alive. A party of seven men enter
ed the shaft today In an effort to
save their companions, but were
overcome by the gas and heat and
they were rescued by second party.
When brought to the surface they
were almost dead and 1t required
much effort to save their lives.
The scenes around the mouth OF
the pit were horrifying and try the
courage Of the bravest. Women and
children are heartbroken as they sur
round the shaft with faint hope Of
ever seeing father or relatives alive.
The explosion was one of the worst
that has ever taken place in this
district. The city has a population
OF 10000 and Is largely supported
by the coal mining industry.
