PIONEER WILL At
once REBUILD
MANY ARE MAKING PREPARE.
TIONS TO ERECT BUILDINGS
ON OLD SITE.

Fred Russell and Ed Malasky, who
came up from Pioneer yesterday
evening, state that arrangements are
already being made by number of
merchants who were burned out in
the fire of Friday to rebuild their
places and resume business. In
only few instances were any of the
stocks of goods in the buildings
saved as both sides of the street
burning at one time made it impos-
sible to get them to places of safety
The estimate made by the Bonanza
yesterday of 100000 loss was ap.
proXimately correct.

start operations on holdings at a
greater distance on the outcroppings.
Mitchell is timbering the old
shaft on his lease, which is down 108
feet, and has also installed two gaso-
line hoists, one at each shaft. The
second shaft has reached a depth of
120 feet and inside of the next thirty
days, he expects to encounter the
high grade ore.
Senator T. l.. Oddie returned to
the camp several days ago, and has
ordered 44-horsepower gasoline
hoist. He will start sinking within
the next few days.

around $50 to the ton. This rock
they are placing on the dump to
await better milling facilities. On
the Glenn, Dorrisy and Dane prop

that the ledge will continue to look
better as the work of development
continues. Glenn Snyder is securing
excellent paintings on his ground or
Dead Horse hill. They report that
a large number of different proper
ties are being worked and that be-
fore long the entire district will be 6

AFTER STANDARD OIL.
Mississippi Attorney Would Gust il
from State and Collect Penalties.

Application was made Wednesday
in the Chancery Court of Clay coun-
~, Miss, by District Atoreny A. l..
Lamb for a perpetual injunction re-
straining the Standard Oil Company
from operating in the State of Mis-
sissippi and seeking to collect penal
ties aggregating $l1.0O0,OOO for al
legged violations of the antitrust law
of the Commonwealth.
The injunction bill recites in detail
the history of the Standard Oil Com
pany and the methods by which il
is alleged to have stified competition
in this State.
Under the Mississippi code as
amended by the Legislature in 1906.
the State is entitled to recover a
statutory penalty of $1,000 a day
for each specific violation of the auto-
trust laws. and the penalties sought
to be recovered in this case cover
three years. The hearing. il is un-
derstood. will take place at West
Point during the November term of

ADOPTED IN KANSAS.
Bryan's Guarantee Law Endorsed by
Republicans.

The bank guarantee law originated
by Bryan and first adopted in Okla
bona has been put in effect in Kan
sas by act of Republican legisls
:ure. While the law will effect only
such banks as elect to comply with
it. it is expected that all OF the III
States banks in Kansas will place
themselves under its provisions with
out delay.
The banks under the new law are
70 be partners In sort of mutual in
'urance company. They will have to
put up a million dollars in State and
national securities 10 guarantee the
payment of deposits. and the dues or
insurance premiums will be only one
twentieth of one per cent annually.
In self-defence the national banks
have started a movement to organize
an insurance company among them
selves to insure deposits in their
banks. Eventually. however, it is ex-
pected that many of the national
banks, especially those in the smaller
owns will DECIDE to denationalize and
become State institutions in order to
participate in the guaranty law.

Messina Again Visited by Severe
Seismic Tremors.
WALLS DESTROYED
Tho Residents Thrown Into q State
of Terror, but 1t is Believed That
Only Two Persons Were Killed.
Broken Walls Fall and Dust Cloud
Envelopes the City.

Messina experienced two terrific
earthquakes about 1880 o'clock
Thursday morning, which were ac-
companied by roaring sounds and are
said to have had stronger and more
undulatory movement than the earth
quake of last December, which de-
stroyed Messina. Reggie and other
cities, laid waste many villages in
Calabria and killed 100000 people.
Although the shocks had no such
terrible consequences, the $4,000
residents OF that city were thrown
into state of terror. They ran into
the streets panic-stricken and nearly
the entire population is encamped in
the open.
The broken walls of the old ruins
were thrown to the ground and Mes
sina was for few minutes smother
ed in n cloud of dust.
The casualties were few. and the
only persons killed SO far as is known
were young woman and her in
fant. The woman had gone there
only few days ago and had settled
In rooms which the great earthquake
had left relatively undamaged. She
was standing at the door when the
shock occurred and rushed inside to
save her child. Before she could
escape from the room the second
shock threw down the walls, bury
ing both mother and child under the
debris.
Soldiers and engineers who rush
ed TO the rescue heard the voice OF
the mother calling for help, and
they worked heroically for several
hours. when they found the dead
bodies, the mother with her child in
her arms.
The first shock was followed quick
" by a second. and the people fed
pell-mell to the American quarter.
which they seemed to teel was their
safest place of refuge. So great was
the rush to the American huts that
the authorities were unable to check
the invasion and as consequence
these structures which were designed
for the most needy of the populace
were taken possession of by the first
comers. The police. however, drew
Gordon around this quarter and
a guard was mounted at the bridge
leading to it. Many of the panic
stricken people We're driven off and
orders were issued that no one be
permitted to occupy the American
quarters pending further instructions.
Reggie suffered almost as severe a
shock as Messina.

FIGHT FATAL DUEL.
Encounter Between Two German
Army Officers.

Although dueling is nominally IL
legal in Germany. details OF most
remarkable encounter In which the
preliminaries were arranged by the
State, are given in n cablegram from
Berlin. which states that Lieut..
Granier shot and killed Lieut. ZwitZ-
crs near Blankenburg.
Zwitzers. although a married man
with family, tried to kiss Granier S
tiancee and military court of honor
sanctioned the duel and arranged
the fight. Two companies of infan-
try kept the grounds. a locomotive
and an ambulance car were provided
by the State railway to carry the
expected victim TO the nearest hos
pital.
Granier's second shot pierced his
opponents lungs, and the wounded
man died in the hospital soon after
the special train got him there.
Lieut.. Granier will probably now
undergo a few months comfortable
detention in fortress. the message
declares.

Fl. Hyslop, secretary of the American
Society for Psychical Research, OF
New York, who in connection with
Prof. Isaac X. Funk, recently came
to the conclusion that the spirit of
man lives after his body is dead
Robert Swain Clifford, the artist,
died in 1905 at his summer home
near New Bedford, Mass Freder-
ick l.. Thompson, a goldsmith, had
met Mr.. Clifford only twice and knew
him but slightly Thompson had
never indicated any ability as an
artist until six months after the
death OF Clifford. when he did not
even know that Mr.. Clifford had died.
He was suddenly seized with an i'm
pulse to paint picture, and going
to work on II. he was surprised at
his ability. While he was painting
the voice of Mr.. Clifford seemed TO
tell him to continue his work he had
started.
Mr.. Thompson continued painting
pictures. always possessed by the
spirit OF Mr.. Clifford. and found a
ready market for them. Many pur-
chasers commented on their SINH
larity to Mr.. Gifford's paintings. =
Fearing that his mind was giving
away in 1907, Mr.. Thompson called
on Pref. Hyslop. BY arrangement
he made several sketches for pictures
at the instance of what he considered
to be Gifford's spirit. Prof. Hyslop
looked these up in a safe and then
Thompson went to New Bedford and
called on Chords widow. where he
had never been and whom he had
never met One of the first things
Mrs. Clifford showed him was a
sketch which Mr.. Clifford had made
short time before his death and
which had been locked up and seen
by no one until n few days ago,
when Thompson called. The sketch
was exactly similar in every detail
to one of the sketches Thompson had
left with Prof. Hyslop.
This fact and other equally sur
prising features in tho case prompt
Prof. Iiyslop TO even a stronger be-
lief that the spirit lives after death
and that the artist Gifford's spirit
is in communication with this world

CHINESE DELIVERER.
Out law Is Making Much Trouble
For the French.

French colonial authorities In Up
per Tonquin, China, are having no
end OF trouble in their efforts to
check the onslaughts of De Than,
a notorious outlaw. and his followers.
From private advices the government
Is informed that for humanitarian
and political reasons the officials ara
unable to adopt the necessary sharp
and ruthless measures which the
forays against villages favorins
French rule seem to demand
De Thams fanatical followers have
now spread the report that he Is the
divinely appointed deliverer of the
Chinese from the French. His men
are armed with rifles while the ma
tives defend themselves only with
sharpened sticks. Chinese who are
favorable to the French. when caught
by the outlaws. are carried to the
forest, tied to trees and there loft
to die. after their tongues have been
mutilated.
De Than appears to be guarded by
special providence. He has never
been captured, although at times he
could touch the French soldiers as
they passed his hiding place. On one
occasion they pressed so close that
the intrepid outlaw killed his wife
and child to make certain his es-
cape. Frequently he has sent mem
bers OF his band TO parley for sur
render while he and the rest have
wormed their way out OF tight
place to their stronghold in the hills.
