been secured and is affording temper
airy relief the necessity for high
school building becomes more apparent
each month. Mr.. Baker gave an eX-
haustive account of crowded conditions
of the schools and made it plain that
early relief was necessary. The Ems
ley school system and the splendid
manner in which it is carried out has
been the subjec of much favorable
comment in the past and to maintain
the high standard of excellence more
room is needed. After Mr.. Bakers ad-

Is calling me to come and play where all

St. LOUIS, Aug. 3O.-Announcement

church, that on Friday the church
parlors will open for the fall season
for the reception of young men and
their sweethearts. There will be music
and refreshments, and chaperones will
be provided for the gathering.
A great many young women have
no place to entertain their beaux at
home or in boarding houses, said
Rev. Andrews, and they have to stroll
around the city to enjoy each others
company. Our church parlors will be
open to just such young people. Our
church chaperones will be there, whom
mothers can have confidence in, and
girls who come without escorts will be
looked after. The expense connected
with the social evenings will be met
from the general church fund.

Butte Mines Will Resume.

BUTTE, Aug. 81 Two thousand
men will be on full time at the mines
OF the Boston & Montana company
September l, according to a statement
issued by the officials OF the company
today. This will mean that the full
force of men will be at work in the
city and that all the mines of Butte
and vicinity will again begin to pro.
duce ore in the same quantities as
was done before the floods took place
in the early part of June. Since June
when the Great Falls smelter was
closed, owing to the damage by the
foods, the employees of the Boston
Il Montana have been working half
time.
This is piece OF good news to the
miners and to the business interests
Of the city. The force which will be
put to work will be equivalent to
1000 men, which, added to the present
mum ber at work will mean much to
the prosperity Of Butte. This change
will increase the Butte pay rolls by
more than SlOO, 900 a month.

BIG LOSS FROM FLOODS.
Residents Of Georgia City We're
Driven From Their Homes.

ATLANTA, Aug. 27.-Augusta today
was rapidly recovering from the flood
conditions of yesterday and last night.
The water on the streets had fallen
until this afternoon the sidewalks were
practically clear and there was no
further danger of loss to property.
Considering the fact that eight feet of
water ran through the main business
and residence streets of the city, that
telephone and telegraph communica.
tion was stopped, that no trains had
been within mile of Augusta for AS
hours, it is remark able that there has
not been greater loss of life.
There have been from ten to fifteen
negro drownirgs, mostly negro labor
ers. From the northwestern section
of the city the water will not recede
for two or three days. Tonight is a
night OF tension. Missing men and
families are being reported.
Many people in attempting to wade
or swim from their homes or from
places of business in the flooded dis.
trict to places of vantage, lost their
footiEg aua only saved themselves
from the rushing current by catching
limbs, or anything else they could get
hold of.
1t is reported that a number of peo.
pie were caught in these positions and
when the boatmen were near enough
to be hailed they refused to go to the
assistance of the unfortunates unless
they were assured of getting paid un.
reasonable fees.

Entombed In Burning Mine.

MCALEsTER, Okla, Aug. 26.-One
OF the worst mine disasters in the his
tory of this part of the southwest
occurred at Haileyville, fifteen miles
east of here today, when between
twenty-five and thirty miners were
entombed in the Hailey.Ola coal mine
No. l, the result of fierce fire that,
it is believed, has shut of all means
of escape. The men, whose escape
was shut off, are all in the lower part
OF the mine. AT noon a telephone
message from the scene stated that the
fire was burning so fierceIy that it was
impossible for rescuers to enter the
shaft and it was then believed the en-.
tombed men must surely have been
burned to death. All of the miners
are foreigners. A number of miners
working nearer the opening managed
to escape.
