Shipping OF Coal From Hanna TO og-
den Is a Reminder OF a
Terrible Disaster.

The product of the coal mines at
Hanna Is being shipped to Ogden at
this time for use on the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and Oregon Short
Line roads, and all mines In the coal
camps are now being worked to their
full capacity, except the property
known as mine No. /, where fifty
miners were entombed by an explosion
last Marcn and twenty men lost their
lives in futile efforts TO rescue the un-
fortunate miners,
In this connection Ii Is learned that
suits are about TO be fled against the
Union Pacific Coal company In the
district court of Albany county,
Wyoming. by the widows and relatives
of the miners Each plaintiff Will set
up the claim that 1t was the negligence
of the company officials which result
ed in the explosion. Damages In the
sum Of $4,000 In each case will be
asked, together with attorneys fees
and costs of suit
II is understood the coal company
offered each family of the entombed
men $500 for a final settlement as
a result of the disaster, but these
terms were ignored or declined. This
offer on the part of the company will
be used in the coming trials as prima
facia evidence OF responsibility on the
part OF the officials operating the
mines.

BROKE IN [ @

OFFICE
THIEVES GO THROUGH THE SAFE
IN THE BUILDING.
Had No Difficulty in Reaching the Con-
tents Of the Treasure Box as 1t
Was Left Unlocked.

The Office of the Volker-Scowcroft
was burglarized, Monday night, but
little or nothing was secured by the
would-be thieves. Entrance was gain
ed by breaking large window glass
on the east side Of the office building,
and crawling through the aperture
without unlocking or raising the win
dow
The glass must have been struck
with considerable force as pieces of 1t
were found lying several feet within
the room. Considerable blood was in
evidence as though the intruder had
seriously cut his hand in the opera
tlon. and afterward smeared the blood
about over the furniture and papers.
The safe Is not kept locked with the
combination and a sign Is hung over
1t at night reading at follows:
This safe is not locked and does
not contain money or valuable papers
Owing to this fact, the door was
readily opened Nothing has been
missed from the safe, nor from the
various drawers about the office which
had also been opened and searched
II Is thought the burglar happened

The Mothers Criticism.

Possibly not every ore has heard
the anecdote about dear old mother
whose son had been promoted to be a
commissioned officer says Army and
Navy Life. He sent her box of navel
oranges from the south, and this brief
note: Dear Mother; Just a hand
full Of navel oranges, something you
will find especially choice. Devotedly,
Jack" The mother said to visitors:
lust the very best boy in all the
world. But he never could learn to
spell. Just think OF lieutenant
spelling naval with an e instead OF
an "a And a small M Isn't 1t en-

When Do We~Dream7

There has been much discussion as
TO whether one dreams only on falling
to sl4ep and during the act of waking
up OF whether dreams take place at
any time during sleep. While no,
definitely determined as yet. the evil
dence seems to be rather In favor Of
the view that one may dream al any
time during the night, or the whole
night through. Dreaming Is common
to perfectly healthy persons. and in
itself is DO evidence of dlSorder.-Dr.

1t will always remain a matter OF
dispute as to whether one person has
right TO say to another that she
shall not work more than a certain
number of hours each day. The So
ciety woman goes about her avoca-
tions and her pleasures as many hours
as she pleases. and often TO the detri-
ment of her health and that OF her
children. but would consider IL a ques-
ton of personal privilege If anyone
dared to make law requiring her to
stop working or playing at certain
time.
