are going is populated only by ma
tives, and there are not more than
n half dozen white men residing in

attracted to this out-of-the-way local

under the proper management will
yield u handsome profit to the own
ers. notwithstanding the inaccessi-

Fire At Four O'clock Tuesday After

Nearly Two Hundred Lives.

What threatened to be one OF the
most disastrous affairs In the history
of coal mining in the Fremont county

day afternoon and was still burning at
noon today, but was reported at tnas

for the safety OF the imprisoned men
for several hours after the fire broke

among the relatives and friends OF the
imperilIed miners. Hundreds OF peo-

SUGGESTION FOR
YOUR VACATION
gulf Coast of Mississippi Offers Nu
merous Advantages Not Enjoyed
BY other Sections,

In ye olden times when men of
means could well afford to devote a
large part of their daily routine to
outdoor sports and any other amuse-
ments suited to their tates, the mid
summer vacation now so universal
was a thing almost unheard of. But
the modern business man, who Iabors
with his brains more than this hands
and spends most of his time in the
office or the shop, realizes that a COM
plete rest from all business cares and
worries is not only pleasure but is
necessity. He naturally looks for
some place where he may invigorate
his body with good, wholesome sport
and yet he does not care to deprive
himself of every advantage of the city.
To Mississippians, the most con-
venient and most complete summer
resort than can be reached without
great expense and trouble is the Great
Southern Hotel, of Gulfport, Miss.
Thos hostelry, which is generally con-
ceded to be the finest and best
equipped of all the Coast resorts, is
strictly modern in every respect and
is constructed with a view to solid
comfort. Sun parlors and Iounging
rooms, all screened throughout to
avoid mosquitoes, are in abundance
and there is a feel-at-home spirit
about the place that is thoroughly de-
lightful.

co, surf bathing. launching, sailing
and other amusements so enjoyable

Special S. S. Grand Jury Meets TO
Hear Evidence Of Alleged Frauds

Washington, July 15.-William S

general will arrive in Chicago today,

were thrown out of court on the
ground that they were defective.
