sembie Tonight for Big
Time in East Ely.

Instead of having their usual low
iinks" at their club house tonight,
the members of the University club
will have banquet in the cafe of
the Steptoe hotel. II is expected
that nearly all of the members of
the club will be in attendance and
that a royal good time will be had.
The invitations sent out were
unique and showed that the enter
tainment committee of the club had
been working their gray matter over
time. They stated In brief form that
the treasurer of the club had been
wearing better clothes than law
yer should when court was not In
session, while their secretary had
been very attentive to ladies. For
the purpose of participating In ban
quet and to hold a business session
they were invited to be at the Step
toe.
That there will be nothing lacking
in the cuisine of the hotel to please
the palates of the feasters is a GER
tainty and that everyone present will
have a good time is another certainty
1t is probable that number of the
clubmen from Smelter and the mines
will be in attendance.

MINERS HOLD
TO STRIKE
SMALL NONINIoS FORCES BE-
ING WORKED At SOME FEW
#sak
PLACES--OUTPUT BEING PhAC-
ED IN LIMITED QUANTITIES.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Sept. lS.=It
is two weeks since the coal mine
strike or lockout occurred. and al
though both miners and operators
were sanguine of an early settlement.
there appears to be no sign of re-
sumption of work In the larger col
lieries. Operations are being car
ried on in few mines with small
forces of men. The stocks of coal
held by dealers are getting smaller,
and i'm some of the towns of the
state, the dealers have already issued
notices that only limited amounts of
coal will be sold to purchasers at
one time. This is to prevent per-
sons from storing large quantities for
future use. or for the purpose of
speculation.
Word from Aspen states that
small force of men is being worked
by the Aspen Coal Co. The property
is being operated without machinery,
and the output is small. The coal
miners at Crosby, in Big Horn coun-
ty, struck on September |. The COM
pany is working small force of nom
union men, and a few days ago the
union men attempted to prevent the
strikebreakers from working. The
authorities took hand. and seri-
Gus fight was narrowly averted. The
output of this mine is also very
small.
Word from Kemmerer states that
the Frontier Coal Co. few days ago
| lost several contracts for supplying
Utah and Colorado customers. and
should the strike be settled at once,
these mines will be unable to en-
1 ploy more than one-half the old
| force
The Central Coal & Coke Co.'S
properties near Rick Springs are be-
| ing operated with a small force of
non-union men. The company Is
making en- effort to import a large
number of non-union men. and II
they do. il Is feared there will be
trouble when they arrive. The COM
pany claims 1t Is necessary to en-
ploy non-union men and keep the
mines going in order to hold present
contracts.
1t is figured that during the two
weeks idleness, the miners of Wyo-
ming have lost approximately $780,
| 900 in wages, and the operators have
| lost as much more.

LIEUTENANT SELFRIDGE Is FA-
TALLY INJURED - AVIATOR
WRIGHT'S WOUNDS ARE SERI-
OUS-EXPECTED TO RECOVER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s.-After
having drawn the attention of the
world to his aeroplane flights at Fort
Meyer, and having established new
worlds records for heayier-than-air
flying machines, Oryille Wright to-
day met with a tragical mishap while
making a two-man flight. The aero
pianist was accompanied by Lieuten-
ant Thomas f. Selfridge of the sig
nal corps of the army. Lieutenant
Selfridge was fatally injured and
died at $40 o'clock tonight. Mr..
Wright was seriously injured, but is
expected to recover.
AIRSHIP OVERTURNED.
While the machine was eneircling
the drill grounds a propeller blade
snapped off and, hitting some other
part of the intricate mechanism,
caused il to oYerturn in the air and
fall to the ground, nveloping the
two occupants in the debris. Sol
diers and spectators ran across the
field to where the aeroplane had fall
en- and assisted in lifting Mr.. Wright
and Lieutenant Selfridge from under
the tangled mass of machinery, rods,
wires and shreds of muslin Mr.
Wright was conscious and said:
"Oh. hurry and lift the motor
Lieutenant Selfridge was uncon-
scious. His head was covered with
blood and he was choking when the
soldiers extrieated him from under
the machine.
Or. Waters. a New York physi-
clan, was one of the first to reach
the spot and rendered first aid to
the injured man. When their
wounds had been bandaged, Mr.
Wright and Lieutenant Selfridge
were taken TO the Fort Myer hospi-
tai at the other end of the field
Mr.. Wright had lapsed into state
of semi-consciousness by the time he
reached the hospital, and Lieutenant
Selfridge did not regain conscious
ness at all. He was suffering from
a fracture at the base of the skull,
and was in critical condition. Aft
ed hurried surgical examination 1t
was announced that Mr.. Wright was
not dangerously wounded. He is suf-
fering from a fracture of his left
thigh, and several ribs on the right
side are fractured.
MESSAGE OF INVENTOR.
Both men received deep cuts about
the head Mr. Wright regained con-
sciousuess at the hospital and die

WRIGHT AEROPLANE DASHES
OCCUPANT TO HIS DEATH

Myer this afternoon.
Mr.. Wright announced several
DAYS ago that he would take Lieu
tenant Selfridge, who Is secretary OF
the Aerial Experiment association,
and an aeroplanist himself. in his
next flight The young officer was
delighted to have an opportunity TO
fiv in the aeroplane. He was to leave
Saturday for st. Joseph, Mo. where
he was to assist Lieutenant Foulers
in operating the Baldwin airship at
the coming army maneuyers.
START ON FATAL SHIP.
After Mr.. Wright told him TO get
in the machine. Lieutenant Self
ridge took off his coat and hat and
took his place in the extra seat next
to that occupied by Mr.. Wright. The
latter started the motor by means
of storage battery. his assistants,
Taylor and Furnass. turning the pro-
pellers to get them going. At 81 4
o'clock the aeroplane was released
and it was noticed that il did not rise
as quickly from the ground as on
previous two-man flights. Lieuten-
ant Selfridge weighs about 175
pounds. making the weight greater
than the machine had ever carried
before.
After gliding over the ground on
its runners for 80 feet the machine
rose gradually and had gained a
height of 40 feet when it. passed over
the starting apparatus for the first
time There was a six. mile wind.
The aeroplanist, however, apparent
ly had control of the aerial flyer,
which rose to a height of 75, feet
as il completed the second round of
the field This height was main
tanned on the third round.
While the machine was turning at
the southern end of the field, sew
eral thousand feet from the specta-
tors. some one shouted What is
that? Something fell"
UNAVOIDABLE DISASTER.
Immediately all eyes were on the
aeroplane. and it was seen to turn
over on its left side and, pausing a
moment, made a complete turn and
then came swooping to the earth in
cloud of dust. No effort on the
part of the aviator could possibly
have averted the accident. Planes
and rudders were absolutely incapa-
BILE of righting the machine when it
had turned in that manner. Specta-
tors, soldiers and officers ran across
the field. 1t was fully minute be-
fore anyone reached the tangled
mass.

SOUND ADVICE

The pertinent stanza quoted below,
is found in the columns OF the Co
lumbus, Kansas, Democrat. Its SEN
timents are endorsed with all the fer
yer at the command OF the scimitar.
Campaigns are not worth indulginS
in unless conditions are bettered. Men
who labor and toll and strive to elect
tickets, are unworthy the confidence
and suffraes OF the people, if they are
not advocating principles and men OF
the highest order who will bring to the
people of the municipalities, states and
the nation. dignified order of patri-
Otto righteousness.
The Democrat says:
"A campaign of personal abuse is
not what the people want. They want
facts. and they want the advocacy OF
sound principles and good men. The
time has passed when men delighted
in feverish excitement and the stir
ring up of political hatred and vindic-
tiyeness: and the time has passed
too. when men willingly supported
candidates solely because such candl-
dates CHANGED to get the nomination
whether fitted or untitled for the Of

pie want candidates who will openly
declare themselves for law enforce

The Milwaukee Free Press has been
figuring on the political result of 1908,
and reaches a conclucion that is at
least unique. Thus:
''The friends of thses two men
(Bryan and Taft on the other hand,
appear to have never doubt about
the election of both of them. If their
enemies are right, neither can be ell
ected. So, if the pair of them be nom
mated, either somebody is mistaken
or we shall be without president at
