MINERS APPEAL FOR
THEIR SCHOOL

McCurtain, Okla, Mar, 26-
Whereas, March goth. 1912,
at 9:05 O'Clock a. M, without a
moments warning, and in the
winkling Of an eye, 73 sturdy
men and bread winners were
swept into eternity by the awful
explosion at mine No. 2, at this
place, leaving 100 widows and
orphans without means of sup
port, and
Whereas, the result 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 nine workers local

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 a 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

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 a school which
seeks to protect human life? 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
nest carry on the work for which
it was created.

people Of Oklahoma, and of ad-

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 Cf 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-
uiring those who hold response
bic 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

CLUB WHERE SILENCE REIGNS
London (Eng) Institute Should HAVE
Quleting Effect on Tired
Nerves.

A club in which the human voice is
London. AS the name, the National
Deaf club, would imply, the members
are deaf or are deaf mutes. Conver-
sation is carried on by oral or manu-
al signs. Even the solitary waiter
chef never offers an audible comment
on the weather.
There are no bells in the club, the
assumption being that If they were to
ring nobody would notice them. I'm
der the door-plate a button resembling
an electric bell-push certainly does ex-
list, but when pressed there Is no re-
sponsive purring in the club two floors
above the level of the street; instead
a red light is automatically switched
on, and the members know that some
one is at the door, Similarly when
the services of the waiter are in
voked, it is red light In his sanctum
which is the agent.
Six years ago the National Deaf
club was started in a cafe So rapid
has been it's growth that recently
larger premises we're acquired and
these were opened by the president,
whose deafness has not prevented him
from conducting very successful bus
mess. Another remarkable member,
who is deaf mute, is responsible
for the railway system of Smyrna, and
an army Of workmen Of
various nationalities by means Of
signs.

ments Is billiard table where disap-
pointed ordinations are never heard.
