WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
February Impressions.

For once the common impression as to the temperature of a month seems to be about right Most people felt that February was warmer than usual, and now that the records begin to be printed it appears that the temperature was somewhere about six degrees above tho unusually wet. But as a rule the indefinite general recollection peo- pie have of month or a whole season depends more on whether it was gen. orally clear and pleasant or chilly and disagreeable than on temperature rec ords. Those who have tested their i'm pressions against a record have found some queer repancies.-Hartford Times.

During the night Mrs. Taylor heard unusual noises in her husbands room, and she went there to investigate and to render what assist ance she could to her husband, suppos- ing that he had a sudden attack of illness. When she entered the room she was mortified to find MT. Taylor lying in bed with blood flowing from a wound in his throat, self-inficted with carving knife.

In respect to the county option

a movement is on foot which may
make it even more formidable than
at present it appears to be.
This movement has it's inception

of popular and astute politicians. 1t
contemplates an alliance between
those who are opposed to a tonnage

Blame COMP ANY
FOR DISASTER.
Miners at Cherry, Ill, Are
Very Indignant.
ALL HOPE is ABANDONED

NO Expectation That Any of the En-
tombed Men Will Be Rescued Alive.
All Efforts Now Being Devoted to
Fighting the Fire Raging in the Col
Iiery-Water Being Poured Into Hole
in Top of Main Shaft.
Cherry, ILL.,, Nov. 17.-With what lit
tie hope was left of saving the lives
of several hundred miners entombed
in the burning St. Paul mine blasted
by the hermetical sealing of all the
shafts the officials in charge at the
scene of the disaster devoted all of
their energies to fighting the fire that
RACES under the earth.
No effort will be made at present to
penetrate the depths, as mining men
declare that no man can 20 into the
subterranean passages now and live.
Chief Koran of the Chicago fire de-
partment and six expert firemen
reached here and assumed charge of
the fire fighting. They came on a spe-
cial train bearing $4,000 gallons of wa
ter, 5000 feet of hose, chemicals and
many fire extinguishers.
A hole was cut in the cover Of the
main shaft and then a line of hose
was dropped down the shaft in the
hope of checking the fire in that way
It is also stated that the men in
charge will force carbonic acid gas
down into the depths of the mine. Ex-
perienced miners declare that if this is
done it will extinguish the fire, but it
will also extinguish with fifteen min
utes the life of every man still living
Expect to Find Bodies in Heaps.
It is the opinion of Mining Inspector
Taylor that when the mine is pene-
trated the bodies will be found heaped
up inx the blind ends of the tunnels,
where the miners retreated gradually
from the approaching flames.
The feeling among the survivors
and their widows and children has
burst forth in a torrent of denuncia-
ton of the company.
The miners openly blame the COM
pany for the disaster, declaring that
the direct cause of the fire was the
fact that torches we're used in the sta
bles when the electric light cable
burned out. If the company had re-
paired the cable promptly, they assert,
the fire would never have started.
The miners also gave vent to their
Indignation against Engineers Rails
beck and Cowley, who were in charge
of the cages when the fire started.
Cowley admitted to the coroner that
he had refused to raise the cage bear
ing the twelve rescuers because he
had no orders to do so. Sheriff Skog-
land, fearing violence will be offered
the two men, has sent Raisbeck out
of town and Cowley will probably be
asked to follow at once.

Is understood that before this action
