"Oh, the divvle!" said O'Rourke be-

Des Trebes produced a cigarette case,
and together, smoking, the two turned
their backs upon the casino and wan

came at length to the secluded, little

The dear little ofice-boy had been

The Baltimore established August
II, 1908, by the publisher Of The Balti-

representative evening paper of the
South. It gives more news and more

society, children, women, and to these
departments the best writers Of America
are regular contributors. The Star is

women are unequaled.
The Star has two great news services,
with wires direct to its offices from all

Whereas, March 10th. 1912,
!. at 9:05 o'clock a. M, without a
moments warning, and in the
winkling of an eye, 70 sturdy
men and bread winners were
swept into eternity by the awful
explosion at mine No. 2, at this
place, leaving 160 widows and
orphans without means of sup
port, and
Whereas, the Tresult of this
dreadful accident :have called
forth from this and adjoining
states so many touching express
sions of sympathy and in calling
forth so much needed material
aid, and
Whereas, we, the surviving
members of mine workers local
union No. ITO, McCurtain, Okla
homa, desire to express our sin
cere appreciation of this kindness
aud contribute our plea, for means
and methods which will, as far
as possible, prevent the recur-
renee of such calamity;
NOW, Therefore, On our own
account, but in especially in be-
half of the widows and orphans
of our deceased fellow workers,
we do most sincerely thank the
people of Oklahoma, and of ad-
joining state for their sympathy
and aid in this our hour of grief.
While our despair and grief are
too great to permit any spirit of
citiscism, we cannot but feel it
our duty towards the thousand of
others of this state, who daily
toll amid the dangers of the mine
to appeal to those in authority
to do all possible to minimise the
the death rate in this industry,
The legislature of this state,
wisely enough, passed laws re-
quiring those who hold response
BILE places about the mines to pass
an examination, and subsequently
the legislature created a school
of mines to equip men for these
responsible positions. Sadly but
truthfully we call attention to
the fact that hardly had this
school begun its important mis-
sion, before conspiracy had been
formed to wipe it out of existence
and now that this conspiracy is
about to take form in the spare
and under the name of the So
called Akin bill, we call upon
the State Federations of labor,
the farmers and mechanics, the
bankers and the professional
men, we call upon all religious,
fraternal, soaial and business or
ganizations, and we call upon
the newspapers to join with the
miners of this state in making
such a campaign against the foul
conspirators, who seek to destroy
our school, that they will hang
their heads in shame when they
think of the dead, the widows
and orphans caused by these
dreadful calamities.
Shall the state, which spends
thousands of dollars to protect
its game, destroy school which
seeks to protect humanlife? Let
the people Of this state with one
accord, petition the Governor and
Board of Affairs to carry out the
will of the legislature by expend-
ing a few huddrfd dollars, now
in the treasury, in installing the
thousands of dollars worth of
machinery purchased for this
school but never set up, to the
end that the school may in ear
