The Cadillac Traaedv.

Fred. Cooper, sole survivor OF the
Cadillac family of eight. the remain
ing members of which were killed by
an insane mother, is able to be out.
In SCENIC denance of all the laws
OF medical science the 17-year-old boy
has lived with a bullet wound clear
through his head. His recovery is GER
tain now, and he will be permitted TO
leave the hospital in about a week.
or the tragedy which has blotted
out the rest of his family he knows
nothing. The nurses have gently told
him that he has been i'll for a long
time, and that he must not ask any
questions, but it is difficult to make
him obey the injunction. However. he
says very little about his parents.
From what little he has said IL is
learned that he had considerable
trouble with his mother. He is evident
ly hurt because his parents have not
been to see him. and he refuses to
manifest any interest in them by ask
ing about them. He asks constantly
about his favorite brother. Sammy
and wonders why the little fellow does
not come TO see him.

Bushes. Is Rcomlnn.

When the whistle blew at the Car.
negie mills at Bethlehem, Pa, $4,000
men answered for work Monday. Not
only the Carnegie, but many other
mills resumed full time.
In the mining and coke districts
several thousand men returned TO la
Dor. A remarkable condition exists in
these districts. There is actual va
shortage of workmen and operations
are being hampered by inability to OBJ
tain sufficient men. Hundreds OF
foreigners went home last winter and
this has resulted ma great shortage
of unskilled labor.
That the railways are feeling the re-
sumption of business Is evidenced by
the fact that all the lines making
Pittsburg their headquarters, have or
dered their repair shops on double
time. The sudden return of prosperity
has caught many of the roads short
OF cars and big demand for them is
expected when the crops start to move
this fall.
This is taken to indicate that bust
ness is picking up all over the coun-
try and that the reopening of mills
means the receiving of orders from all
over the states. While Pittsburg was
hit as hard as any city in the country
by the hard times, men are of the opin-
ion that the end of the stringency is
here; that business will soon be at the
normal from coast to coast. They take
the fact of the reopening of the great
iron and steel industries TO mean the
real beginning of the return of pros.
perity.

whom Democrats delight to honor.
National coIors Used.
Red, white and blue were the only
colors used In decorating the audi
forum, and the decorations were the
most elaborate ever seen in a Demo-
cratic convention. A unique feature
was 81 huge stars artistically ar

Directly over the speakers plat
form, against the wall Of the building
near the junction with the ceiling, was
large shield, 16 feet high carrying
six flags IL feet long draped in artis

shield there were four other shields
over the platform, each ten feet high
The six flags on these shields were

ton, ID by 16 feet in dimensions. Red
white and blue bunting was draped
from the sides of the shield to the
bottom OF the portrait of the Father
of His Country"
Directly under the last shield. on
each side of the Washington portrait
was suspended a portrait, one of
Thomas Jefferson and the other of
Andrew Jackson. On each side of
these pictures a large American flag
was draped. These flags are 40 by
60 feet in dimensions. Beyond these
pictures, at each end of the wall. and
hanging above the gallery, was sus-
pended pendant, ten feet in diane
ter, upon which bunting was draped.
Upon these pendants a tiger was
painted. The back of the platform
was banked with palms. Twenty
stuffed American eagles, with extend
ed wings, were suspended over the
platform, each bird carrying in his
bill red, white and blue silk ribbons
that were draped back to the wall.
Balcony and Galleries Draped.
In the auditorium the balcony ex.
tends all the way around the huge
building, but the galleries are limited
to each end. The front of the balcony
and the fronts of the galleries and
boxes were draped with bunting, 81, 900
yards being necessary to complete this
part of the decorative scheme. At
intervals of five feet shields, three feet
high, were placed.
Thousands of yards OF bunting
were used in draping the corridors of
the building and the walls OF the bal
ccny and galleries. Delegates were
supplied with small American flags
to wave when their feelings reached
a pitch that compelled an extraordin-
airy demonstration.
Although the decorations in the
auditorium were elaborate. the street

More Were Killed.

Seventy-two dead and 2,736 injured
are the totals to date of the accidents
attending the celebration of the Fourth
of July in the United States. This
breaks all records for deaths since
1899. The number of deaths is 10
more than at the same time last year.
In 1905 90 were dead at the same
hour.
The number of injuries, however, is
only two-thirds of the average for the
last five years. This is regarded as an
indication that the agitation for a sane
Fourth is having its effect.
This years fire loss is $535,435,
which is above the average of the last
10 years.

Rebuilding lonla.

Gangs OF men were busy Monday in
the Grand Trunk and Pere Marquette
yards clearing away the wreckage
from the big Ionia Sunday fire. The
Grand Trunk freight house consists
of a string of box cars. and two pas
senger coaches form the depot. Plans
for rebuilding are being freely dis
cussed and work will begin soon on
some OF the new structures. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that the old Pere
Marquette freight house, which was
burned, will not be repaired. The COM
pany already has plans for a new
freight house and the old one will be
abandoned. At meeting Monday night
the men OF the Presbyterian church
decided the new building should be
built as soon as possible. II will be
