The Almighty has not freighted tho
foot with single superf1uous part
Every inch of every foot is meant for
use When a man walks In the right
way, speaking literally, the back Of the
heel strikes the ground first Then the
rest of the. heel comes down. after
which the outer edge of the foot takes
the bulk of the burden until the for
ward movement shifts the weight to
the ball Of the foot and finally to the
toes. The ideal step is a slightly rock
ing motion. At no time should the en-
tire foot be pressed against the ground.
Heel to toe is the movement Try It
and see how much farther and more
easily you can walk. It's the Indians
way. and what poor Lo doesn't know
about footwork can go into the discard.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 29.-Eleven
schooners and their
crews of sixty men are believed to
have been lost IN the Christmas biz
card, while great destruction to prop
erty throughout this island colony has
resulted. The storm, which reached
It's height on Sunday, ragged for six
days, but now has abated considerably.
All telegraph lines in the interior of
the colony are down and reports from
inland points are slow in reaching
here.
The town of Placentia was flooded
for three days and the principal bust
ness street of that place resembled an
ocean beach, being piled high with
fotsam cast up by the unusually high
tides
The village of Blac1head, three
miles from this city, was almost swept
away.
This December has been the storm
lest month the Newfoundland coast has
experienced in half century and it
is estimated that it's cost to the fish
cries and general trade is more than
$750,000

Miners Blown to Fragments Near Min

Mineral Point, Wis.,, Dec. 29.-Four
men were blown to fragments at the
Ollie Bell mine, between Mineral
Point and Platteville, by the explosion
of $50 pounds of dynamite, which
wrecked the upper workings of the
mine.
The men were just completing their
work on the day shift and had taken
their tools to the powder room in
drift near the top Of the mine shaft
It is thought that they dropped cap
while putting away the tools and pow
der.
Immediately after the explosion
other miners went into the pit left by
the force of the explosion and the re-
mains of three bodies were found, but
the fourth cannot be located.
The three bodies found had not a
vestige of clothing on and the flesh
was so terribly torn it was impossible
to identify any of the three.

Latest Developments Of the
SWitchmen's Strike.
PERHAM VISITS WASHINGTON
Fails to Induce Federal Media.
tors to Interfere.

st. Paul, jan 3.-Chairman II. B.
Perham of the railway department Of
the American Federation of Labor is
quoted in dispatch from Washington
as saying:
"The only developments in the sit
uation are the increased likelihood Of
a further spread of the strike and the
rapidly growing desire of the people
of st. Paul and Minneapolis to see the
thing ended.
"Yet, | am hopeful of an amicable
settlement. Of course, my actions are
dictated entirely by the minds of the
sWitchmen. l am all for peace now,
but in few days I may be fighting
for all that is in me.
There does not seem any probable
ity of the matter being taken directly
to the president
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, was in
conference with Chairman Perham
over developments in the switchmen's
strike This was announced in a tele-
gram received from Mr.. Perham by
President HaWley of the SWitchmen's
union
The formal conference between
Chairman Perham and MediatOrs Neill
and Knapp looking to a reopening Of
arbitration with the railroad officials
has not been concluded.
A dispatch from washington indi-
Gates that at least one of the parties
in the conference believes there is no
likelihood of the affiliated bodies in
the Federation Of Labor going out on
strike. When this statement was
read to President Hawley he said:
If any one believes that it must be
either Mr.. Neill Or Mr.. Knapp and the
opinion of either must be based pure
ly on information-not on knowledge
of what the federation will do.
know Mr.. Perham has not made any
such statement In his telegram to
me he said that everything looked

SEVEN CHILDREN DEAD
Home Wrecked WI en- Keg Of
Powder Blows Up.

Dubois, Pa, Dec. 29.-Seven chill
dren, ranging in age from two to
twelve years, were burned to death
here and three other persons were per-
haps fatally injured. The fire, fol-
lowed by an explosion of powder, de-
stroyed the house of Stephen Bronos-
ky, a miner, at Sykesville, Pa, near
here. ALI the victims are foreigners.
Six of the children were members
of the Bronosky family and tho
seventh belonged to a boarder. Mr..
and Mrs. Bronosky and the boarde1
jumped from an upstairs window and
sustained serious injuries.
The fire started from an overheated
coal stove. The flames spread rapid.
ly and communicated with a key of
mine powder. The subsequent explo-
sion cut off all chance Of saving the
children.

DIES in PRISON
Alleged Slayer Of Mrs. Guinness Vic
tim of Consumption.

Laporte, Ind, Dec. 31.-Ray Lam
phere, thirty eight years old, slayer of
Mrs. Belle Guinness and her children,
died in the Michigan City penitentiary,
where he was serving an indeterminate
term for arson. Lamphere on April
%, 1908, set fire to the Guinness home
near Laporte and incinerated the fam
lily. He had formerly been employed
by Mrs. Guinness as a workman on her
farm. Following the fire the bodies of
several persons who had been muir
dered by Mrs. Guinness were unearthed
in the farmyard.
Lamphere was convicted of burning
the house and sentenced on Nov. 26,
1908, to serve from two to fourteen
years in prison. Lamphere always
contended that he was innocent of the
arson. 1t was shown, however, that
Lamphere was probably cognizant of
some of Mrs. Guinness crimes and that
he was angered at her.

Northwestern Roads Mu|cted Of
Big Sums Annually.
SCHEME WAS EASILY WORKED
Employment Agents Alleged to
Be Leaders in Plot.

st. Paul, Dec. 31.-That nearly ev-
cry railroad running through the
Northwestern states has suffered from
frauds perpetrated by the employment
agents to the same extent as the
Great Northern is the belief of those
interested in the investigations being
conducted under the personal direc-
ton of President T.. w. Hill of the
latter road. Special Agent AL Ray
has discovered that Office collision on
the part of Great Northern employee
made the plots of the labor agents
easy to carry out on that road, but it
is understood that the other COM
panies have suffered to great extent
for lack of investigation.
Estimates of the amount of money
said to have Deen lost to the North
western railroads through the manip-
ulations of certain employment agents
in all parts of the country run as high
as 100000 annually. The past three
or four years have seen much new
railroad construction in the Dakotas,
Montana, Idaho and Washington. In
addition to the new work several mil
lion dollars have been spent by the
companies in improving the track
beds, laying new rails, Strengthening
curves and other similar work. The
demand for laborers has exceeded the
supply at all times and every appli-
cant who appeared at a local employ
ment Office was given transportation
to some point in the Northwest.
Wholesale arrests along the line Of
the Great Northern as far west as Spn-
kane are expected. False pretenses
and violations of the federal anti-pass
laws will be the charges laid
Plan of Employment Agents.
The plan under which the employ
ment agents are said to have worked
was to secure a contract with the
railroad companies by which the
agent agrees to furnish so many labor
ers, usually for track work, which re-
quires only common labor. The agent
does not have to make an examina-
ton of the man; anybody will do to
work on railroad grade. That makes
1t easy for him to accept any person
who enters the Office.
A man who desires to go to Mon.
tana for any reason can go to the EN-.
ployment agent and tell his troubles.
The nearest railroad work is selected
and the man is ostensibly hired tc
work for the company at that place
He is given pass by the agent
which takes him to the point desig.
mated After he arrives there he for
gets to appear at the railroad office
and goes to the point for which he
started. All he paid for his trip was
the office fee of the employment
agent, which varied with the appli-
cant.
The roads which are the principal
sufferers in the Northwest are the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific, 500
and the st. Paul. Each of these lines
enters the grain fields of Western
Minnesota and the Dakotas. The farm
laborers annually imported to harvest
the crops are hauled by the railroads
and it is estimated that less than 1G
per cent of the laborers pay even the
reduced rate put into effect by the
transportation companies.
