To Prevent Coal Mine Disasters.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The United
States government, within the next
few weeks, will begin series of scieu-
tific investig ations into the causes of
disasters in American coal mines in

mortality may be reduced to mini

For Army Of $50, 1000 Men.

NEW YORK, June 29.-The war de.
partment has perfected plan for the
virtual smslesmation into trained
army OF 250,000 men ready to answer
the call OF the president for all the
regular and national guard troops.
Assistant Secretary OF War Oliver,
who is now at Pine camp, witnessing
the department of the east maneuvers,
has given out this information.
Assistant Secretary Oliver, in out.
lining the plan for the reorg anization
of the national and state troops, de-
clared that the word "militiaman" is
now q misnomer, and that the state
troops, since the passage of the Dick
bill by congress, are now volunteers.
The war department plans mean no
more or less than that the moment this
country gets into trouble the so.called
national guard organizations will
cease to exist as such, and Immediately
become units OF the regular army IN.
der the control of the president and
secretary OF war.

Uncle Sans Income Reduced,

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The forth.
coming statement of the treasury re-
ceipts and expeditures for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1908, will show
q marked falling off In the receipts as
compared with the year 1907, and q
large increase in the expenditures.
The excess of expenditures over re-
ceipts for the year will approximate
$50, 900, 900, which has been exceeded
only twice since the Civil war. In 1894
there was deficit, and in 1899 there
was another, of little over 5000. :
600, Again in 1904 and 1905, there were
shortages OF 81 III, 900 and S23, 900, 600
respectively.
The total receipts this year will be
shown to have been about 1860 ,000, 900
or S64 900, 900 less than for the fiscal
year 1907. Custom receipts will be
shown to have fallen off about S46,.
100000 from those of 1907, while the
receipts from internal revenue sources
will be short nearly $19,OOO,OOO.

No Danger Of Timber Famine.

ST. PAUL, June 2S. - Frederick
Weyerhauser, the undisputed king of
the lumber world, laughs at the idea
that the denud alton of the forests
means an impending timber famine
and declares that there is timber and
to spare for many years to come.
When asked when In his judgment the
end of the present timber supply would
come, Mr.. Weyerhauser laughed and
rem arked that he does not believe any
man need sit up nights yet worrying
about it.
"There is still great deal of tim
ber in the United States," he replied.
FIFTY years is long time and it will
require that period at least and per-
haps even more time to bring about a
condition under which the demand for
timber will be in excess OF the supply
from the United States itself. In the
south the supplies are still very large
and in the far northwest they are
equally great. Canada still has q
very large amount OF timber"
Mr.. Weyerhauser's holdings of
standing timber in the United States
are estimated At 10000 square miles,
an area three.fourths as great as the
entire state of Minnesota and several
times as large as some of the New
England states.

POLITICIANS AT DENVER.

DENVER, June 28.-This city tod ay
took its last political slumber for at
least q fortnight to come. The demo.
cratic politicians of prominence, who
have already arrived for the national

once more the advance guards of the
state delegations will te here or on
their way. and there will be an ever
increasing activity until the red fire
has flickered out and the curtain has
been rung down on the final scene of
the democratic national convention.
Thomas Taggart, chairman of the
democratic nationa! committee, came
to town today, bringing along vice
presidential boom which he put forth
with much enthusiasm.
Bryan will be nomin ated on the
first ballot, without doubt, and his
running mate will be John w. Kern,
of Indiana. Mr.. Kern will be placed
in nomination by John L. Lamb or
B. F. Schively, both of that state,
and his nomin alton ought to follow. p"

WASHINGTON, June Toincrease
the supply of beef and thereby lessen
it's cost to the American householder
is one of the principal objects under.
lying the efforts OF the department of
agriculture to secure q product that
will thrive in the semi. .arid regions of
the northwest. Cattle products are
said to have reached the highest
prices recorded in 20 years, and the
dealers claim that this is due to the
scarcity of cattle.
It is to increase the supply Of beef
by increasing the proteid belt in the
west that the department OF agricul.
ture has again sent N. F. Hansen Of
Brookings, S. D., to make q thor
ough investig alton Of the plant life of
northern Russia and Siberia. Pro-
fessor Hansen will visit the sections
OF northern Europe and Asia where

A FIathead Murder Mystery.

KALISPELL, June 26.-R. B. Yokum,
about 81 years old, and his son Frank,
aged %, living on a ranch about three
miles from Fortine, have been found
dead at their ranch. Old man Yokum
had bullet wound in his head and
was lying outside of the house near
the wood yard. The son was lying in
bedroom, With q bullet hole in his
forehead and revolver held in both
hands. 1t was evident that q quarrel
had preceded the shooting, as there
was q hoe lying alongside the old man
and a mark on the side OF the young
mans face showing that he may have
been hit with the hoe handle.
The theory is that the father hit the
son with a hoe and the son then got
the rife and shot his father, afterward
shooting himself with q revolver.
About 1925 in cash was found in the

MITCHELL, June 28.-The little town
of Pukwana, in Brule county, about
fifty miles west of Mitchell, on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail-
road, was almost wiped out last night
by tornado. No one was injured.
Thirteen stores and homes were totally
destroyed and every house in town was
damaged. Two large elevators were
blown across the railroad, covering q
freight car. The railway station was
wrecked.
The tornado was accompanied by
rain and hail, which covered strip
OF country 81 miles wide. All crops
in the path of the hail storm were
ruined. A coal car standing on the
Milwaukee tracks was half filled with

In the Heavyweight Class.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-In spite of
the fact that Secretary Taft has often
laughingly declared that ''no real
gentleman weighs more than 300
pounds" his solid bulk, combined
with the compact frame of his running
mate, James S. Sherman, makes the
heaviest ticket ever put forward by
any national party. The two men
together tip the scales ut something
not far short of 500 pounds.
The record before this was held by
the democrats on the strength of the
avoirdupois of Grover Cleveland.
When nominated in 1892 Mr.. Cleve.
land weighed about 275 pounds, but
the small figure of Adhai Stevenson
kept the total around 425 pounds.
The exact weight of the big secre-
tary is not known, though the popular
guess ia not far short of the "limit OF
gentility" set by himself. Mr.. Sher.
man weighs a good 200 pounds.

Suppressing White Slave Traffic.

CHICAGO, June "a. - A wholes ale
traffic in white slaves, involving the
importation of 5000 French girls
every year, has been broken up, it is
believed, by United States authorities

President Roosevelt.
AS result of evidence collected by
federal secret service agents, assisted
by French government detectives, at
least 1900 French girls will be ar
rested in Minneapolis, St. Louis, Kan.

They will be deported to France, the

APPEALS TO BRYAN.
Lawson Wants Him To Withdraw In
Favor Of Johnson.

BOSTON, June 25.-Thos. w. Law.
son has sent telegram to William J.
Bryan at Lincoln, Neb., asking him
to consent to the nomination OF Gov
ernor Johnson for president and Mr..
Bryan for vice president. For such a
ticket he offers to gather a campaign
fund of $500, 900 and, If necessary, add
$500, 900 personally. The telegram was
close to a thousand words in length
and typically Lawsonian, closing as
follows:
"Owing to the peculiar combination
of conditions, and after q thorough
canvass Of the entire country, it will
be impossible, in my opinion. for you
to be elected now. If you say the word
to your party, it will nominate Gov
ernor Jonson. If you will then accept
in the spirit of self-sacrificing pat
riot the nomina alton of vice president,
this one act of yours will not only
wipe out the insult put upon the peo-
pie recently but will bring about such
a revival of hope in the breast OF the
people that In another year they will
elect an overwhelming majority Of
members to congress who will be in
full accord with the policies which
you and Governor johnson will for.
mulate."
Mr.. Bryan received the telegram, but
said he would ignore it.
LINCOLN, June 25.-Confident of at
least 100 more votes than the required
number to nominate him for the presi.

farm, is already taking an active part
