SECRETARY TAFT ABOARD,
Flyer on Pennsylvania Road Narrowly
Escapes Disaster.

Denison, o.. June 2'.-While on his
way East Secretary Taft had narrow
escape from being in what might have
been one of the worst wrecks in the
history Of the Pennsylvania road. The
secretary and party were on the Penn
sylvania flyer when the piston rod on
the left side of the engine broke. Only
the prompt action of the signal man
in the tower station a third of a mile
from Coshocton and the presence Of
mind of the engineer of the flyer
saved the train from utter destruc-
ton.
The train was travelling at the rate
Of fifty miles an hour and when the
piston rod broke the cylinder of the
engine was cracked by the flying rod.
The train was just approaching
signal tower east of Coshocton. The
operator saw that something serious
was wrong and threw down a signal
to stop the train. The engineer ap-
piled the emergency brakes and the
train of six cars came to a stop on
sharp curve.

LOSS ABOUT 100000.
Severe Storm Sweeps Over Southern
Minnesota.


st. Paul, June Minnesota sui
1ered 100000 loss frcel the storm
that swept over its southern and
southwestern portions. The loss il
principally to the crops and live stock
although there were thousands of dol
lars damage done to farm and city
buildings.
There was no tornado accompany
ing the storm. There was a high wind
that did great damage, but the prin-
clpal loss was from hail and rain.
So far but one death has been re-
ported. That was Carl Gramenza, a
farmer in Brown county. Gramenza
was struck by bolt Of lightning that
set fire to his barn.
The hail in many places was Of
enormous size and of terrific force.
Crops were beaten to the ground
wherever 1t struck. The storm was
many miles in width and left total
ruin in its path.
Much Of the damage was due to
lightning. Buildings were burned and
stock was killed in the fields.
Candy, In the center of, Yellow Med
icine county, was the first Minnesota
town struck. Cottonwood, Lyon coun.
ty. was caught in its grip and the
crops Of the county were ruined.
In Brown and Redwood counties,
which were next visited, the damage
will reach many thousands of dollars.
Sweeping across Blue Earth county
the storm struck Waseca, Steele, Fari-
baut and Freeborn counties.
Near Austin, In Mower county, the
storm reached its greatest fury. For
nearly an hour the storm battered in
windows and doors, tore off roofs and
dragged down telegraph and telephone

THE DEAR "COLONEL."

Colonel Allen, you are one of
the great men of the earth. The
good Lord, in His wisdom, created
the small fry" of the earth's
surface after His own image, and
then it remained in arter years for
you to flash into the limelight.
I have been in the newspaper
business some twenty odd years, and
presume have absorbed some small
knowledge of the business; but I
doff my hat to you, brother. You
are a wonderful man, Colonel. In
my declining years, when I arrive at
the top of the slide of life and begin
to toboggan down the other side
toward the end of things earthly, /
shall tell my son and his children of
the great man whom I knew in
middle life, and after whom I hope
they will pattern their careers.
Brother, love you; and I hope that
your great work in reforming the
earth and telling the {est of US poor
newspaper imbeciles how to conduct
a great publication, will be amply
rewarded in the next world, as man
gets but little here below for a life OF
hustling for others.
This for your personal reference
to me, in one of your last issues.

TO VISIT, IN MINNESOTA.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., Will Spend
Vacation In State.

{ i G Y
Washington, June Q .-Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., is to spend his summer
vacation in Minnesota.
The presidents oldest son will put
In month in the forests of. the north
ern portion of the state as the guest
of Mr.. John G. ,Greenway of Coleraine.
Mr.. Greenway is an old friend of the
Roosevelt family and former Har-
yard man, but was not in the same
class with the president.
He was with the president, however,
during the Cuban campaign and ever
since has been regular White House
visitor.
The president has offered Captain
Greenway several good positions, one
OF them being that of member of the
civil service commission. But Mr..
Greenway, who has built up the town
OF Coleraine as a model mining center,
prefers business to politics.
During the month of July Mr.. and
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, while en-
route to Yellowstone National park,
will probably make visit to Cole
raine.
It is quite likely that Teddy, Jr,
will accompany the party West. The
young Harvard student is crack shot
and enjoys hunt equally as well as
his father.

The latest idocy from the imbecile
postoffice department at Washington
is an order requiring exterior signs
on all postofices, to contain, with
the words "postofhce," the name of
the town in which an office is located.
Further, the order explains that as
the department has no money to pay
for such signs the postmaster must
foot the bill out of his salary. Isn't
this pretty near the limit of official
imbecility?

The admiral asserted that the
American ships are the equal OF the
ships of any navy in the world.
The most serious charges made, he
said. were of insufficient free board,
insufficient gun height, improper
location of the main line armor belts
and all of these. he explained, have
been subject to the closest study for

He claimed that the present con-

Question of Fees Decided by Clark.

Clerk of the Boarl of Supervisors
of Co chise county has received from
A torney General Clark an opinion in
regard to the question of the collec-
ton of fees by some of the county
officials. The question was presented
to the attorney general by Public
Examiner Foster. The decision is to
the legality of the fees charged.
One of them states that the clerks of
the district courts have no legalright
to charge the county with the sum OF
50. so for making a certified copy of a
Judgment in a criminal case for the
purpose of making a return by the
sheriff to the court. This fee is only
allowable when a death warrant has
been executed. Another decision
states that the sheriff is not entitled
to a fee of s. for serving a certified
copy of the judgment or commitment
on the warden of the penitentiary
when delivering d person convicted
of a crime, or on the asylum authori
ties when delivering an insane per
son. This practice has not been fol

LARGE Copper Sales.

Not during the last ten months
have there been sales of copper ap-
preaching in volume the millions OF
pounds sold since the first OF
February.
The sales of the leading selling
agents and producers since February
1 run close to S0,000,OO0 pounds
credited to the United Metal Selling
company.
Most of this copper was sold very
close to Is cents per pound, although
there were sales at under 124 cents.
The lowest prices were received early
last week, but there was a quick up-
ward turn and copper is selling high
er than a week ago.
A copper producer in close touch
with the situation says: 1.-The heavy
sales of copper for foreign account
have practically cleaned up the
stocks of metal in this country. i
would not surprise me if the visible
supplies in the United States did mo-
exceed 25,OOO,OOO pounds at the pres

EIGHTY YAQUIS MAKE
ESCAPE FROM OFFICERS.
Are Free in Wild Country and Safe From
Pursuit From Soldiers.

According to a report brought to
Tucson last week from SOnoyta by
man named Sanderson, who resides
in that vicinity, a band of eighty
Yaouis who had been captured by
Mexican soldiers broke away from
their guards and escaped to this coun-
try crossing TIE international line
near Sonovita.
The Yaquis are said to have been
partially armed, but offered no
violence to the few white Jmen who
are in that section Of the country.
Sonoyta is located about I75 miles
west of Nogales and is almost due
south of the Hjo country. 1t is in a
region which is largely desert and
only persons who are familiar with
the waterholes can travel through
that section.
There are very few white people
living there and practically the only
inhabitants are scattered bands OF
Papago Indians who have small herds
of cattle and horses and exc out an
existence in a primitive way
1t was through this country that
the Desert Laboratory officials and
the eastern scientists who several
months ago explored northwestern
Sonora passed while they were er
route to the Sierra del Pinacate
mountains.
The coming of a big bunch OF
Yaquis into this country from Mexico
might arouse question as to wheth
err they would not be compelled tt
{ paw a head tax before being allowed
to enter.
. 1t is known of certainty tina
they could not legally come into thi
country without going through Z
! regular port of entry and submitting
' to an examination and inspection
! which is required of all immigrant
