DEATH IN THE BLAST.
Two Men Caught in Premature Ex-
plosion-0ne Dead, the Other
Nav Die

Park City, April 2.-Joseph Hare was
killed yesterday evening at the Steam
boat mine and f. Watkins so badly in
tured that ii is feared he cannot live.
The men were working together on a
Burleigh machine and were told before GO
ing on shift to be careful of a missed
hole. but from the story told by Watkins,
Hare did not heed the warming and as
soon they were in their places in the
mine he began to use his pick. which
struck the cap and discharged the dyna-
mite.
Hare's body is terribly cut and bruised
and his head almost 1oosened from his
shoulders. Watkins is also badly cut and
shaken up and it seems to be a question
in the minds of the physicians as to just
how long he can live.
Both men live In Heber, and Mr.. Hare
leaves a wife and seven children.
The Park City council of the knights
of Columbus added another mark to its
already long list as being royal enter
tanners last evening in the Masonic hall,
when about 200 members and their ladies
were again shown how the Knights take
care OF their guests. At $50 the follow
ing short program was given: Vocal solo,
Miss c. Fafek; vocal solo, Miss K Cum
bingham; instrumental solo. Miss NJ
Shields; vocal duet. Misses NJ. and L.
Martin, and remarks by Rev. Father
Following the program all repaired to
the next room. where three large tables
were set and found to be laden with all
sion of the banquet the tables were taken
apart, the floor cleared and dancing COM
menced which lasted until a rather early
hour in the morning.
During the entire evening punch was
served by Miss Nora Hurley. and when
the strains of Home. Sweet Home" were
struck up by the orchestra and all start
ed hOmeward nothing but praise and
good wishes were heard for the members
of No. 1.129.
The banquet room was prettily decorat-
ed with red, white and blue bunting.
At the I. o. o. F. hall there was also
something doing last evening, when this
order celebrated its eighty-ninth ami
program. banquet and dancing were also
enjoyed by the members of this orga MIA
ton and the auxiliary. the Ladies of Re
bekah, and the committee which arranged
for last nights affair is certainly to be
congratulated, for never before has a
more successful event been pulled off in
this city by the Odd Fellows than that of
last night, when both men and women so
thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
The infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Z.
Boyd died this morning at the home
about 2 O'Clock, of pneumonia. This is
the fourth death from this disease in the
past three days among the children, and
the physicians say that it is due largely
to the weather conditions, which are now
so unsettled in Park City
The following directors of the indie
pendent Telephone company drove up
from Salt Lake City this morning in an
automobile, to pay an official visit to
Manager A. W. Davidson of the local ex-
change; F. b. Jones, II. A. Harvey and

to Denver and of A25 per 100 pounds
from Denver to Ogden should not exceed
$3.50 and 81. respectively.
Further findings of the commission in
this case are that rates made by express
companies upon small packages in COM
petition with United States mail are not
to be taken as standards by which to de
termine reasonableness of their rates
upon larger packages. The fact that ex-
press rates in and out of particular Dusi-
ness localities are higher than those in
and out Of competing localities from a
common source of supply is not of same
Importance as in the case of freight
rates, since the wholesaler ordinarily
brings his merchandise i'm by freight and
also distributes il by freight.

had not. The two started on the
walk, but Conner noticed that Keene
was strangely uncommunicative. Sud

the trees, and ConnOr regarded its
spIendor in silence for a moment. Then
he turned to his companion.
Isn't the moon beautiful Keene?''
he asked.
Yep. but it's too high, too hight"

And stretch it more and more.
From centerpiece to rim, until

And likewise lifts its summit up,

Who built her hat2
Who made it something never seen
On earth or in the sky.
A flat Of wide extended plain,
a mountain towering high?
Cut wider doors for her to get
Inside of any place.
And put the ceiling on the roof
To give her nOdding space.
Push up the clouds to let her stand .
Erect upon the ground.
And above the wide horizon back -
To let her turn around.

He could explain most anything
That e'er was said or done;
A process of clear reasoning
For him was simply fun.
And yet his honors were but small,
Likewise his worldly gain:
Men didn't seem to care at all
How we'll he could explain.
He knew just why men met defeat
When all the votes were cast,
His mind was wondrously replete
With knowledge of the past.
Success smiled forth on every hand
For men of lesser brain
Who hustled round and did things and
Just left him to explain.
