The Nature of Bees

Fortunes are being made Off VI honey
and as result bee culture Is perhaps
attracting more attention today than
ever before. Men are coming to un-
derstand the nature OF bees. Their
habits are being closely studied. These
little creatures, guided by an almost
unerring instinct, will pass over fields
covered with flowers and go miles to
other fields where the grazing suits
them better. And In the same field
they will skip one flower and sip nectar
from another. This is wisdom. Wise
men act on the same principal. For
instance. men come for miles In all
directions to Ordway to do their trad.
ing and when they get there. with the
instinct Of the bee, go straight to

Election Too Dry

From the fact that thieves broke

made n second entrance through the

In Darkness and Confusion Early Re-
port Declared IS Lives Had
Been Lost.
DEBRIS NOW CLEARED AWAY

J
Hibbing, MIMI, Aug. 2l.-Three
bodies were recovered Sunday from
out of the debris of earth and stones
which late Saturday night swept
down the sideot t1s open pit.of the
susquehannaand Buff iio mine, bury
ing steam shovel and some of the
10 men who were at work directly in
it's path.
In the darkness and confusion of
the night, it was at first feared that
at least Is we're buried almost beyond
hope of rescue, and it was not until
the coming of daylight that the roll
call to ascertain the number of miss
ing could be made.
The shovel has practically cleared
away the entire debris and as no
more bodies were found it is thought
that but three men lost their lives
in the slide.

indicted for the murder. of William

robbed and beaten to death in his
room at the Hotel Iroquois on the
night of July ~ last, was called in

Unless the counsel for the defense
succeeds in getting. a delay the actual
trial probably will begin within
day or two. In view of Geidel's al
legged confession it is regarded as a
certainty that plea of insanity will
be made in his behalf.
