CONTRACTS ARE LET
Work Will Soon be Started On
Eagles Home.

At a meeting of the stockholders and
directors of the Eagle Building Asso
citation, held Monday evening at the
office of Attorney C. c. Orvis, one OF
the trustees of the local aerie of Eagles
the contracts We're signed for the cree,
ton of the Eagles new home on First
avenue west. s. B. Sinclair was
awarded the contract for the general
construction and Wells, Porter Il
Stump, the contract for the heating
and plumbing. Work will be started
on the improvements of the two build.
ings Immediately.
The meeting was largely attended
by the stockholders and directors.
Aside from the awarding of the con.
tract no other business of public ma.
ture was transacted.
The building of the new home is by
the Eagle building association which
is the incorporated name of the mem.
bers of the local aerie of Eagles No.
276 who are stockholders in the new
company. No changes were made
and the building win be erected ac
cording to the plans which were de.
scribed in the Herald several days
ago.
The improvements on the buildings
will cost over $1,000 exclusive OF furn.
iture and fixtures.
The Eagles a short time ago pur-
chased the two buildings, the Schneid-
er and Greenway block at cost OF
$4,000 and will now expend about $780,
900 for their home which will be one
of the finest lodge and club buildings
in the state.

FIRE IN FRAKERVILLE
Destruction of the Store Entails a
Loss of $Io,o 900.

The Company Store" at Frakers-
vile mining camp was totally de
lstroyed by fire about two o'clock this
morning entailing a loss of between
eight and ten thousand dollars on
buildings and stock. The insurance
was five thousand dollars.
The fire was discovered by persons
living near the store, but by the time
the miners gathered the fire had
gained such a Roadway that the en-
tire building was a roaring furnace
and nothing could be saved. NO at,
tempt was made to get out any of
the stock.
The building was a one story and
basement frame structure about Uwen-
|ty by sixty feet. A large ice house
stood at the rear. The two buildings
were burned to the ground, as the
miners had no means of fighting the
fire.
The flames seemed TO have started
in the rear of the store building. The
ice house was built almost against
the rear of the store. This building
was seemingly on fire at the same
time, and the fire may have been OF
incendiary origin and started in the
narrow space between the buildings.

Heidelberg. Germany, Aug. U.s.
Baron Speck Won Sternburg, the Ger
man ambassador to the United States,
died in the Hotel Victoria in this city.
The baroness, who was Miss Lillian
May Langham of Louisville, KY, was
with her husband at the end. The
baron and the baroness came here
from Homburg the end OF last month
to consult with Prof. Vincenz Czerny,
a skin specialist, concerning mala-
dy from which the ambassador has
been suffering for some time. After
a prolonged examination of the dis
eased part of the left side of Baron
Won Sternburgs head, Prof. Czerny
affirmed that the trouble was not can
Ger, but a lupus, and that he could
cure it. Both the ambassador and
his wife were immensely cheered at
this opinion.
Planned to Meet Kaiser.
Baron Won Sternburg Is described as
having felt that his long agony was
nearly over and that soon he would
be a well man again. His wife also
shared that hope. 1t had been ar
ranged that Baron Won Sternburg
should go to Berlin the middle of Sep
TENDER to be received in audience by
Emperor William previous to his re-
turn to Washington. 1t was thought
desirable that the ambassador be at
his post during the concluding weeks
of the presidential campaign.
No arrangements yet have been
made for the funeral of the ambassa-
dor. The baron's father who Is 80

President Roosevelt that the question
of a successor to the baron probably
would not be settled until Prince Blu
low, the imperial chancellor, saw the

Gus diplomatic changes in prospect are
to be gazetted in October, and among
them probably will be a successor to
the baron at Washington.

Council Tree FeIIed.

Walter Edgerly has just cut a giant
oak tree on his farm, north of Perry;
which made 81 cords of wood. It was
six and half feet in diameter at the
butt and one limb made five and q
half cords. This tree has been a prom
inent landmark in North Perry for q
century or more.
An expert woodman Of that locality
who was present when the monarch
of the forest was felled to the ground
stated that the number Of visible
rings In the tree showed that It was
over 400 years old. The oak was
known as the Council tree" on &C

Electricity in Mining.

One of the striking results of the
utilization of water-power for the
development of electricity to drive
machinery is seen in mining districts
where the absence of fuel has long
presented an obstacle to the economi-
cal employment of steam. A won
derful change is reported to have
taken place in this respect during the
past year or two in Mexico. In the
State of 0uanajuato the increasing
cost Of fuel had rendered impossible
The further mining and milling of
many grades of ore, which are now
again profitably worked with the aid
of electric machinery, actuated by
the water-power obtainable in the
neighborhood. The fact that electric
power can be transmitted long dis
lance is also taken advantage of in
well-wooded districts, where the fuel
is burned on the spot and the result
ing mechanical power is sent by cable
20 the mines.

Increase In Coal.Mine Deaths.

According to J. A. Holmes, chief
of the technologic branch of the
United States Geological Survey, re-
ports regarding coal-mine accidents
OF 1897 show an increase of about
fifty per cent. in the number of men
killed as compared with 1906. From
the information already received Mr..
Holmes says:
1T seems probable that an increase
of twenty-five per cent. in the number
of fatal accidents will be shown for
the year 1907 over the figures for
1906, without taking into considera-
ton the disasters of last December.
in which .694 men were killed.
Counting the big disasters, the deaths
will be more than 5000, which will
be a fifty per cent. increase over the
year 1906. The figures regarding
injuries, as far as received, show an
increase of more than fifty-seven per
cent. in the number of men injured"

Edition: Twelve Billion Copies.

1t is estimated that the annual ag-
gregatiOn of the circulation of the
newspapers of the world is some 49,
OO0,OO0.O 900 copies. To grasp an idea
of what these figures mean one should
be told that these papers would cover
no fewer than 10.450 square miles OF
surface; that they are printed on
781.25O tons Of paper; and, further,
that II the number (12.OOO,0OO,OOO)
represented, instead of copies, seconds
of time 1t would take more than 333
years for them to elapse. In lieu of
this arrangement, we might press and
pile them vertically upward to reach
our highest mountains.
Topping all these and even the
highest Alps. the pile would reach
the magnificent altitude Of, in round
numbers, 500 miles. Calculating that
the average man spends five minutes
in the day reading his paper "a very
low estimate). we find that the peo-
pie of the world altogether annually
consume in the reading Of their pa
pers an amount of time equivalent t.
100000 years.-Harper's Weekly.

Can Science Abolish War?

In line with the argument of tn.
President that powerful navy is
the surest guarantee of peace. is an
article in the Contemporary Review
by F. N. Maude. In it the author
states, and builds plausible argu-
ment in proof, that the more deadly
the engines of war become the fewer
people there are killed in war. The
point of greatest interest in the ar
ticle lies in the authors serious
statement that Mr.. Simpson, whose
name Is already known in connection
with his metallurgical researches and
discoveries" has invented a device
capable of firing "a few thousand
projectiles of all dimensions with an
initial velocity of 10000 feet per
second from London to Paris without
recoil, smoke or fash"
Such device, we're it to become
operative, could not be successfully
resisted even by itself. A war waged
with it would be impossible, for it
would continue until both countries
were destroyed. The statement of
the article is probably too good to be
true, but it might be we'll for us to
stop spending money on our navy
until the invention has been tried.
If it should by any chance prove prac-
ticable, the nations with big navies
would feel about as foolish as man
wearing straw hat in snowstorD
