THE DEAD MAN
IS IDENTIFIED

Later developments in the case of
the unfortunate man who was killed
at the tunnel last evening transpire
that the man was coal miner of
probably 33 years of age and that his
name is Hugo Weidman, and was en-
pioyed for number of months at
the Cameo coal mine.
The proprietors of the Cameo coal
mine speak well of his services of
about three months, but know moth
ing about his parentage or home. His
acquaintances ao the mine were told
when he left that he was going to
Denver. therefore if the story of the
young man is straight, he must have
changed his mind, for according to the
young man, Grant, wao was riding
with him. they were getting off the
train ut the tunnel TO ask for work.

In the bottom Of the aquarium is sand,
which the fish take in their mouths and

mouthful and swim along until he meets

fish Immediately. Sometimes a whole lot
of them will play "tag" and chase each
other around in a circle, In and out Of the
water plants, until sees something to
eat, when they all race after it.
We also have some pOllywogs in with the

7 The case was brought at once to the
attention Of President David II. Tanning
Of the company. man more than seventy
years old. we'll known for philanthropic
works and interest In the welfare of his
employees. No sooner was the case pre-
sented than he gave directions that the
girl be sent to the Rutland Sanatorium and
kept there at the concerns expense until
cured. Not only this, but that similar
procedure be followed with any other en-
ployes found to have the disease.
This proved the salvation of the move
ment. The action of Mr. Tanning soon be-
came known. 1t was quickly followed by
similar offers from various concerns. At
Spencer. town several miles from Worces-
ter. more than 80 per cent of the work
ing population were protected by letter
received by the state board of health from
shoe manufacturing concern, in which the
Worcester Merchants Association, compris-
ing more than 200 concerns and represent
ing more than 1000 employees announced it's
purpose of adopting the scheme as a body.
This was as the result of letters sent out
to the individual members asking their
wishes in the matter.
In his work DR.. Overlook found that
several large concerns had previously
adopted the same method of protecting their
workers. although they had not officially
made report of 1t. The employees sent to
the sanatorium have been uniformly cured.
The records show that 70 per ceht. three
out Of four incipient cases. have been saved
