Northern Coal Miners Strike.

Denver.-A Lafayette dispatch Fri.
day night says: The 500 miners en-
ployed in the coal mines here quit work
this afternoon at O'Clock in response
to an order received from headquarters
following the referendum vote in which
the proposition made by the mine own,
ers operating In the northern Colorado
fields was turned down. There was no
demonstration whatever. and no trou.
BILE is anticipated. Engineers and
enough men are left at the mines to
keep them in good shape and when DIFF
ferences OF the men and mine owners
are settled they can return to work on
a days notice.
Those towns where the men walked
out this afternoon are Lafayette. Louis
Vile, Erie Marshall. Superior. Dacona.
Downer and Frederick. Nearly thirty
mines are affected and practically
1000 men are idle.

storms the Tramway company has shut
off power and all cars have stopped

there is good cause for the stoppagc.
On May 23rd bolt OF lightning from
almost n clear sky destroyed nearly n
third OF the units of electrical power
that can be produced. II meant a loss
OF about $4,000. At the lower alti-

Burglars In Town

This morning when Postmaster
Doughty opened his office he noticed
nothing unusual. As he walked past
the safe, he stumbled over something
on the floor and on looking down was
surprised to see a set of burglars tools
on the floor He next looked at the
safe end saw that the combination knob
had been broken off and that an at
tempt had been made to drive out the
combination lock, but without SUI ccess.
The tools left on the floor were a stone
hammer, belonging to Mr. Nelson. Il
blunt punch with piece of hose wired
over the end To dull the sound, some
wire, Il carpenters chlscl and an iron
through the back window of Herbert
SprOule's stationery store The lock on
TIE window sash was broken. Once in
the store, the burglar or burglars
climbed over the partition between the
store and postoffice and were ready for
business.
They evidently expected to make u
rich haul from the safe as nothing else
in the Office was disturbed They were
doubtless frightened away before com
plotting the job.
Deputy Constable Cotant saw man
hanging around the streets about three
o'clock this morning and locked him up.
He claimed to be working for Mr.
Brown at the Senate and this claim Mr..
Brown substantiates. Mr.. Brown says
the man under arrest came to his place
Tuesday night and asked for work and
that he gave him Il job. He does not
think that the man in Jail had anything
to do with the postoffice job.
The Commercial hotel joins the post
office OH the east and no unusual noise
was heard in the postoffice by Milton
Reinhart, the night bartender, or any
others about the hotel

HOl Onions For Pneumonia

Owing to the prevalence of pneu-
monia and the great mortality which
attends it's ravages dnring the winter
end spring, several boards of health in
northern New Jersey have been taking
measures to protect the citizens of their
towns from the disease The health
board of Washington, n. j., has pub
lished remedy which is said to be
sure cure for pneumonia, and other
health boards are looking into the
matter with Il view of having the same
thing published for the good of the
general public. This is the publication
as it has appeared in the papers of
Washington:
''TakesiX or ten onions, according to
size and chop fine. put in large spider
over Il hot fire, then add the same
quantity OF rye meal and vinegar
enough to form thick paste In the
meanwhile stir it thoroughly, letting it
simmer five or ten minutes. Then put
in a cotton bag large enough to cover
the lungs and apply to chest as hot us
patient can bear. In about ten minutes
apply another, and thus continue by
reheating the poultices, and in few
hours the patient will be out of danger
This simple remedy has never failed to
cure this too-o often fatal malady. Usual
ly three or four applications will he suffi-
cient, but continue always until the
perspiration starts freely from the chest.
This remedy was formulated many
years ago by one of the best physicians
New England has ever known, who
never lost IL patient by the disease, and
won his renown by simple remedies"
