We. have known Mr.. Ryan personally

found him to be man OF honor. in

deliberate before arriving at con-

not jump at a conclusion.
During his service as member of
the lower house of the legislature and

Everybody Entitled Vote Should Turn Out August Primary Election
ST. ROSE HOSPITAL.

8.
An institution That Has Made Rapid !
Strides In It's Existence .
On Saturday evening we were ac~
corded the privilege by Sister Loretto
the sister In direct charge Of the hos
pital In this city. to bs shown through
the new addition. now nearing com
pletion.
II viii be remembered that about /,
five years ago this institution was
started In little frame house. rent
cd for that purpose. close to the con-
vent. In few months 1t was found
necessary to seek cher quarters and
through the generosity Of the people
Of this community, and the handsome
offer Of G. N. Moses. the Moses or
Heller residence was purchased and
turned over to the sistsrs. who slight
ly remodeled the same and fitted it
up as first class hospital. This In /.
stitution has continued to grow, and
now an addition that will cost when
completed right at $4,000 Is being
built. This addition will contain thir
teen rooms, two wards capable Of &C.
commodating nine beds, chapel. five
bath rooms, large operating room, ant
other rooms and closets necessary for
the work Of the hospital. II contains
an elevator, and will be heated by
steam. The operating room viii be-
one Of the finest in the western part
Of the state, and will be. strictly up
/, to-date in every respect. The building
is Of brick, two stories and basement.
The latter with cement floor, and
the inside work Is pure white. Various
business and professional men Of the
I city have undertaken to furnish rooms
thus relieving the sisters Of this en-
pense. When all completed and used
In connection with the old part of
the hospital they will have aceommo-
dations for about thirty-five patients
The institution had been very much
crowded. They have been having on
an average about fifteen cases all
summer. -
- The porch of the old building hts
been torn away, fine wide cement
floor porch has been added, which can
accommodate number Of chairs fore
patients who are convalescing. This
is another great improvement.
This Is an institution Of which ouri
city may be proud, and for which tie
citizens have a right to be thankful.
1t has done worlds Of good. The sis
ters are at all times willing to labor
In the interests Of others, and have
built up reputation here that will
be sustained, and which should be
the envy Of others who are in the
same work. Mighty oaks from little
acorns grow. and this is similar
case. While we trust that our friends
will be spared trip to the institu-
tion for treatment, we nevertheless
wish those in charge every success.

the PRIMARY ELECTION.
It is up to the Voters az to What
Beneficial Results Will Follow.

SeneIieial hesuits VIII Follow.
The time for holding the primary
election Is close at hand, and we
sincerely trust that every one entitled
to cast vote will turn out and vote.
We hope this for the reason that only
In that way will we be giving the
law fair test. We have been asking
for the law; now let US see what 1t
can DO for US.
In spite Of the great amount Of
space that has been used in writing
about this law, and the vast amount
OF air consumed In talking about it,
there are still some people who ask
when the conventions are to be held.
There are to be no conventions. The
candidates for the various offices have
been filed, and on the fourth day Of
August every voter in the county,h has
a right to 60 to the polls in his pre-
cinet, call for ticket of the party
with which he has been affiliating,
and vote for the men in his own part
whom he desires to beAplaced on his
partys t.c6et. Then comes the bat
tie royal.
It has been claimed that boss rule,
the naming Of the candidates by the
few, the packing of caucuses and Of
conventions in the interests of GER
tain interests would be knocked out
by the primary law, and we sincerely
believe they will, but to do so We
must go to the polls and vote. Thus
will be accomplished what the law
seeks to bring about. A full vote
means fair trial Of the law, and a
light vote means no trial.
There are number of points to
be remembered in this connection. In
the first place no Democrat can as
sist Republican friend to get nom
ination by voting him, or can a num-
Der of Democrats nominate the Reput
lican ticket. When you call for your
ticket you must give the party with
which you affiliate, and if you give
the name Of a party that the watcher
know you have not been with, you are
apt to get into trouble, and will have
to swear your vote in. Neither car
you take your party ticket and vote
in the blank space for Republican
for a certain office. 1t won't count
He will be counted as a Democrat
candidate. eve are using the parties
for illustration. 1t will work either
way). You will also lose your vote
IL you have signed petitions for more
than one man for the same office, II
different parties. In short, you must
be a straight party man to get vote
or call for an independent ballot
which means a blank one, and ther
write the names Of your candidates.
In voting, you vote the same as il
the general election by making cros'
mark in the square after the names
Of your candidates that you wish II
= support. When you go to the poll
on election day you will find full in
structions posted up. Read then
carefully.
We wish to urge upon the people o
the county, irrespective Of party, Il
make a point to vote at the primary
We full well realize that this is tn
busy season of the year, but this |
the first year for the primary, an
we should give it fair trial. Thi
can only be done by every one goin
out and voting. Be sure to go.

OVER TWO HUNDRED MEN
IN BLAZING COAL MINE
Mine Horror In Russia Which Re
suits in Heavy Loss Of Life, Many
of Injured Being crazed
From Shock.

Yuzovo. European Russia.-Fire
has broken out in the Rikovsky
mine. which on Friday was the scene
of an explosion of gas that resulted
in a heavy loss of life. The work OF
rescue and fighting the fire Is being
conducted under tho greatest difficult
ties. More than 200 men remain
down in the mine, shut in by falling
Garth. and their fate is unknown.
One hundred and sixty dead bodies
already have been brought out. Many
of the men were burned to death.
while others had their heads and
limbs torn off by the force of the ex"
plosion. Seventy-five wounded were
removed to hospitals, and of these
ten have already expired, and many
more are dying. 1t is believed that
the present known number OF dead
will be increased by seventy-fve.
The explosion occurred just after
the shift entered the mine. The last
twenty men in the shift were still In
the cage at the bottom of the shart,
and they were drawn to the surface
uninjured. Rescue parties were at
once organized and commenced to
go down. Six of the rescuers were
suffocated, but the others bravely
continued at work.
In the meanwhile the 5000 miners
who had gathered at the head of the
shaft became SO excited that troops
had to be summoned. They cleared
the ground and allowed only members
of the families of victims to come
within their Gordon. Heartrending
scenes were witnesses as the mangled
bodies of the dead men were brought
to the surface and given over TO the
bereaved women. Many of the
wounded are quite mad from shock.
The cause of the explosion is not
known.

BLOODY REVOLT
IN PARAGUAY
New Government Has Been Estab-
lished, Former Vice-President
Being at the Head.
contendlng Forces Battle In the
Streets for Several Days, at Least
Five Hundred Lives Being Lost
as Result Of Revolt.

Buenos Ayres.-Advices received
here state that the revolutionists nave
been victorious in Paraguay and that
a new government has been estab-
lished. These advices have been con-
firmed by a dispatch received by the
minister of foreign affairs of the Ar
gentina legation at Asuncion officially
notifying the minister that the revolu
tionary party had succeeded in over
throwing the Paraguayan government
and that several of the Paraguayan
ministers of state had taken refuge in
the legation. The revolutionists have
appointed as president DR.. Emilio Con-
zales Naviro. He held the office OF
vice.president in the government
which has just been ousted
Fighting has been proceeding in the
streets of Asuncion for some days past
and many of the public buildings have
been seriously damaged. Previous
estimates of the killed and wounded,
however, have been exaggerated, and
it is now believed that the number Will
not exceed five hundred.
