NIGHT PROVES GREAT SUCCESS

man, Almond Sandow Morrison. His
endeavor was to lift seven men, and
he succeeded admirably in accomplish
ing his purpose. About this time
couple OF men brought in an individ-
ual on stretcher, and two strange
physicians were called on to operate
on him. There was disagreement
between the doctors as to the cause
of his agony, one declaring it to be an
acute case of chronic indigestion, and,
the other deeming it appendicitis.
They were agreed, however, that no
an operation was the proper thing.
Several ludicrous conclusions were
drawn from the various complications
which the operation disclosed, and a
number OF good jokes cracked at the
expense of members of the local as
sociation. The unidentified victim
proved to be Mr.. C. H. Rau The an
aesthetic administered was a new COM
bination, and while the patient was
unable to feel any pain he heard and
understood everything that was said
by the doctors. He readily came out
from under the influence and related
his feelings when the doctors endeav-
ored TO identify him, and were mis-
taken in the identity. deeming it an
other person. Mr.. Rau proved a clev-
er subject and brought the house down
time after time.
After filling up on sweet cider and
doughnuts the crowd dispersed. pro-
nouncing the event a great success.

apparently when the men came there
to eat. The fact regarded as signifi-
cent was that not a dinner pail re-
mained. From this It was argued that
the men. unable to escape. when the
fire was discovered. retreated to some
extremity OF the mine, carrying their
food
The next ray OF hope came when
the discovery that the bottommost
gallery. west, was not sufficiently
flooded TO Impede progress.
II was this section OF the mine that
formed the subject for the conference
between the union and Manager Tay-
lor. The delegation. headed by Pres
ident Mcdonald insisted that an at
tempt be made to explore the third
gallery. generally believed to be of
little Importance At the time OF the
catastrophe. little. If any, work was
being done in this section. the men
being engaged in the richer coal beds
of the second gallery.
Mr. Taylor was impressed with the
theory that the men. cut of In the
second gallery might have found their
way into the gallery below where
there is no fire. and ordered its ex-
ploration.
Reseuers who carried up twenty
three bodies said there was evidence
that the men had walled themselves
in for several days, but had merged
to seek food and water and had met
death in the black damp.

The big Stag Reception and Stunt
Night at the Y. NJ. C. A. was great
success last evening. large number
of men were present to enjoy the oc-
casion, and to say that they were
hugely entertained would be putting
1t mildly.
The first number on the program
was a piano selection by Mr.. Clyde
Lentz He proved an artist before
the keyboard, bringing enthusiasm
and good cheer to the entire audience
with his rollicking selections. The
second number on the program was
reading by Mr.. ]. p. Smith, a gradu-
ate of the Cumnock school of oratory
of Chicago. He recited Kipling's Bal
lad OF East and West" and greatly
pleased his hearers. He showed ad-
aptabiiity. training and ability as an
artist in this line. He has a voice that
readily adapts itself 20 the various
characters impersonated. He puts
great life into his selections. We be-
speak for him happy future in his
chosen profession. The third number
was a selection by four of our young
men well known in musical circles
here. namely. Glen Gebhart, Marvin
Smith. Clyde Lentz and Walter Har-
nett. They were Obliged to respond
to an encore. Their playing also was

section the attempt was made at the
third or bottom gallery at the earnest
request OF Duncan Mcdonald. presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers

SOME SHORT TALKS
. ON MANY SUBJECTS \
BY RETIRED TEACHER,

People who work hard alb the yweeE
days need rest on Sunday. whether
they be engaged at manual labor OF
In stores, counting rooms, etc. But
how many Of them get 1t? Instead
OF sleeping and lounging at home
getting rested up, the most of them
spend the time so that they feel the
need of rest more on Sunday night
than they did on Saturday night.
In their efforts TO improve this
world to the last degree, the state
and federal governments duplicate
the efforts Of each other Both have
the same character of boards and of.
ficials, for the same territory. 1t is
not unusual to see a state and a fed
eral inspector travelling together. both
on the same mission, The people pay
the salaries and expenses of both.
The great capitalists and captains of
industry pay so little in proportion to
their wealth and incomes, they do not
mind the extravaganza of govern
ment, they merely fight off tax meas.
ures pointed their way.
Science is everything these days.
BOYS who never worked month on
the farm attend college three or four
years then go out to teach the old
practical farmers agriculture.
Costs twice as much to build a
house now as il did fifteen years ago.
Those who have studied the matter
may answer why?
The Mckinley street cars for sum

Traction company cars had. It Is
difficult for women aud children, ami
for short men, to get into them. and
they are dangerous for ANYBODY Go
