MIKE COFFEY RETURNED
THIS MORNING

Hike CUffey returned home Friday
morning from Clear Lake, Mimi,
where he had been to identify the
remains of his son, who had been
accidentally killed about three miles
out from Clear Lake, Mimi. The body
was in such a condition that the
father thought best not to bring the
remains home so they were buried
in a cemetery at Clear Lake, Mimi.
The particulars Of the accident as
to how his son, Albert, lost his life
is still unknown. He said that the
watch that was found on the body
was stopped at 2 o'clock a. m. His
grip was found with his wearing ap-
pare1 about half a mile from where
the body was found Whether he
was attempting to get on or off
a train is not known. The manner
of death is fully matter of conjec-
ture. His body was found along side
the track by the morning passenger
crew and they gathered up the re-
mains and brought them into Clear
Lake and from letters found upon his
person they learned his name and
address and in that manner notified
his father. The father was unable
to learn anything about the where
abouts of Charles Bartz, the young
man who went away with him.
Neither could they account for the
grip or satchel being half mile
from where the body was. Perhaps
when word is received from Chas.
Bartz something more will be learned
about how the accident occurred.

American Exuber.nc&.

A prominent English statesman who visited this country a few years ago was talking with friends about the ma donal characteristics of Americans and gave it as his opinion that the western CT is the most truly Humorous of the citizens of the United States.
 Why" said the Briton in explana- ton, "a relative of mine who frequent ly visits the States for purposes of sport tells me that he was entranced by the reply made to him by the pro- prietor of a hotel in Nebraska when he asked if there were any quail in the vicinity.
 "'Quailv exclaimed the proprietor. T should say so, Why. they've got to be a regular nuisance round here. My cook complains that she can't throw a piece of toast out of the window with out four or five fat quail fighting to see which shall get on itv - Woman's Home Companion.

who signed 'KE because he had taken the Keeley cure" said a Kansas City chief operator. ;, "He afterward went back to drinking and then used 'BZ, deriving it from booze.' Another fel- low signed 'PS' because he used to say he received poor salary. A woman operator we had here used to sign 'HK,' her initials, until one day her beau tilted her and married another girl. After that she signed BEL which, we understood, meant broken heart In an eastern office where once work ed there was a hoodoo sign. It was 'KQ.' The first man who used it there was killed by a train, the next one went crazy and. the third died of ty- phoid fever. After that nobody in the ofiee%ared use the hoodoo sign.

The Gap In the LeVaE Rock.

On the way rom LanG-S EnQ, the eX- tre1ne western point of England$ to the Logan rock, just in from the cliff, after you have passed Tol-Pedn and immedi- ately before the road drops to Forth gwarra, there is little valley, a big grassy nook, with one cottage, a rec tory and church. This is the parish church of St. Levan, a fisherman saint, of whom there are many legends. His path is still seen by the track of green CT grass that leads out to the rocks named after him, where he Nshed the traditional "chack-cheeld" chad There is his stone, too, in the churchyard, one of those ominous stones which in Corn wall are thought to be the dials of time itself, chroniclers Of the hour of the last judgment. The Levan stone is a rock of granite, split in two, with grass and ferns growing in the gap between the two halves. The end of the world will come, says the rhyme, when the gap is wide enough for a pack horse with panniers to pass through.

 "On the Pacific one time I didn't see land for twenty nine days" said anoth- CT. A little, baldheaded man tilted his chair against a post and knocked the ashes from his cigar
 T started across the Kaw river neal Lawrence in a skin once when I was a kid," he said, land was out of sight of land before I reached the other side"
 "Aw, come off" came from one of the crowd. "The Raw isn't more than 300 yards wide anywhere along near Lawrence"
 T didn't say it was," said the little man quietly. 'The skin turned over, and I sank twice."-Kansas City Times.

CAR. IN DANGER ON HIS TOUR OF
 EUROPE
Special from United Press,

London June 28.-It is to-day con- sfdered practically certain that the assassination at Stockholm. Saturday evening. of Major. General Beckman, chief of the Swedish coast artillery. is the beginning of an Anarchistic dem- onstration which will continue . throughout the tour of the Czar of Russia through Europe. The secret service agents of the Swedish govern ment have uncovered evidence which establishes beyond a doubt the deter imitation of the European Anarchists to make the Czar's visit coincidental with antf-monarchial demonstrations in the countFes which he travels Fol lowing the suicide of the assassin of General Becknan, who died yesterday of wounds inflicted after he shot the coast artillery chief and wounded Sur geon Layauder, the police discovered that his death was the prescribed out come of plot which resulted in the choosing by lottery of the man to do the killing.
 Through their discoveries, the police have established that Anarchists in Sweden, France, England, Italy and Turkey have been for months prepar- ing for the Czar's visit with the pur- pose of attacking officials in the coun- tries he visits
 Agents of the Russian society, which has been aroused by the discovery, nave been nufrying along tne Ioute which the Czar will take to assist the local authorities in arresting suspects. They are particularly looking for Rus sian Anarchists who are understood to be directing their European associates. As the time for the Czar's arrival in England draws nearer, public feeling against his visit increases. It is known that the labor unions are considering the calling of a general strike as a protest against his presence in Eng land.
 It is intimated from St. Petersburg that the Czarina and the Russian Roy al children will not accompany the Czar, but will remain at Livandsa- This is officially given out as due to the poor health of the Czarina but is really caused by the dangers which now appear to attend the trip.

Telegraph operators always have per sonal signs which they place on all mes- sages they send or receive. Usually they use two of their initials or take two letters from their names.

A Word to Subscribers.

A number OF our subscribers are,
apparently, forgetting that it takes
money to run a newspaper, as they
are neglecting to pay their subscrip.
tions. A dollar from subscriber may
seem Insignificant when standing alone,
but one each from several hundred
subscribers means so many hundred
dollars to US. Every business is de-
pendent upon its income, no matter
from what source nor 10 what amount
