Balance lost to county $500. so
Now this is a serious matter for Am
ador taxpayers who cannot get out of
their taxes by the same route, and who
have to make good the loss. Sheriff
Gregory says it is not too late to col
lect the balance due. All right, a SUIT
to recover from the delinquent would
help to lift the burden from officials
concerned. Here is one solitary in
stance of a loss of hundreds of dollars
of revenue. Who is to make good, those
concerned or the general taxpayers?

REPUBLIC IS

M0BSiHARD TO CONTROL
IBy Associated Press. ]

Lisbon, Oct. 10.-The revolution
AIRY leaders, having overthrown the
monarchy, are now confronted with
the scarcely less serious task of put
ting an end to eXcesses on the part of
their own followers, who, having had
taste of mob rule, are prone to con-
tinue lawlessness for its own sake
The decree of summary Danish
ment for the religious orders gave
an excuse for brutal outrages COM
mitted against the clergy.
Today the police adopted severe
measures to prevent the popular
sacking of religious establishments
and to check the demonstrations
against religionists pending their ex-
pulsion.
Reports that the clericals were car
rying on guerilla warfare from the
windows of their establishments in
famed public resentment against the
reliSionists, many of whom were
chased from their churches and con-
vents.

HOPE To SAVE
TWO SCORE
MINERS
.RESCUERS WORK HARD
LBy Associated Press !

Starkville, Pa, Oct. lO.-High
hope spread over this stricken min
ing camp this morning when the news
was brought out of the Starkville
mine, where two score or more OF
miners are entombed on account OF
an explosion that occurred last Sat
urday, that the fans providing pure
air to the mine had been put in op-
Grafton Systematically and that the
imprisoned men undoubtedly would
be located within the day unless the
efforts of the rescuers were further
blocked by wreckage.
This information was given out of
fcially by John E. Jones, state mine
inspector.
A portable fan in the Starkyille
mine is forcing pure air along the
cuts and in the walls separating that
mine from the Engleville. At thu
same time the Engleyille mine is
bringing the air out of the workings
OF that mine. forming a suction that
is pulling the gaseous air into the
EngleYiile and then out into air.
The dust theory for the explosion
is clung to by many who have con
sidered all the possible causes for the
catastrophe. The mine was non
gaseous and explosives were not used
Tor any purpose.

GET FEW DEER
THIS SEASON

The deer season closes with today
and as far as have been yet recorded
the season of 1910 was far from being
a successful one from the hunters S
standpoint as there have been fewer
deer killed this year than before for
many years.
The fact that the weather has been
comparatively mild and that there
have been no heavy SHOWS in the hills
has had considerable to do with this
as the deer have remained on the
high points and up in the timber
where 1t was impossible to get at
them. The number of hunters to go
hunting was larger than ever before
and the number of accidents fewer
than usual
According to men who have been
among the hunters the vigilant watch
kept by the game wardens this year
has prevented ruthless and Illegal
Staying which has been known to
have occurred in past years.
From the viewpoint of the residents
of the section where deer abound, and
who deplore the wholesale killing of
the magnificent game, the year 1910
was a distinct improvement over that
of 1909.

New York to Grand Junction, was
located yesterday, considerable ap-
prehension and worry having been
caused by her taking the wrong train
out of Colorado Springs.
The little girl reached Colorado
Springs in safety and here she was
expected to take the Colorado Mid

faot that she wa not able to speak
English fluently she became confused
and instead of taking any train she
merely sat in the depot until her
presence was noted by depot officials,
who by examining her ticket discov-
cred her destination. Then instead
of placing her on Midland train as
was expected she was placed on the
Montrose train taking her direct to
this city but by the Rio Grande third
division Instead of the Midland
She reached this city in safety and
in almost as good time as she would

made.

L wonder if Doras nanny is a robust, strap
ping wench, amply able to support herself
and her Dora?
1t appears that Dora's mother or father or
somebody sold her to a horrid "heathen
man.. (By the way, we have more than
100000 horrid heather men, in the United
States-to say nothing of 100000 women
and children who are horrid heathen.)
The "heathen man" who bought Dora had
an eye to making her his wife. The horrid
thing! He must have been reading the
American newspapers.
But this "heathen man" knows that he can
buy him another girl, for less money than the
missionaries aoiU pay him for Dorc, and
therefore he is willing to sell her.
Don't you think that u. NJ and Jessie A.
