A Swarm Of Flies

1t sometimes takes a pocket-full Of
bugs and things to get a big trout in
terested in what you are trying to
do, but what a thrill of satisfaction
travels up your spine when you fin
ally strike on the kind of grub
Mr.. Fish has an affinity for.
That is the reason why successful
fishermen carry good variety OF
Trout Flies in their book.
That is the reason We have 2S1
different named patterns and sizes OF
English, Scotch and American flies;
enough kinds to satisfy the most fas-
tidious taste of every fisherman and
supply every fussy fish in the brook
with a regular course dinner.
Remember this: Our flies are tied
to our order. They are true to name
They are good quality. They look
alive. They are silk flies tied to
good quality gut and hollow point
hooks, and they sell for the popular
price OF so cents per dozen.

50 MEET DEATH IN NINE.
Thirty Underground Workers and 80
RescuerS-Gallant Men Over
Whelmed

Conisborough, Eng, July 9.-The
bodies of SO victims of series of ex-
plosions in the sadeby colliery this
morning have been brought to the sur
face. 1t is feared that a further search
of the mine will increase the death
roll to 80. Of the killed 80 were mine
workers; the others were men who
went into the pits to rescue the en-
tombed. Among those were govern
ment inspectors, including William
Henery Pickering, chief inspector of
mines, Yorkshire and North Midland
districts, who was to- have explained
to King George and Queen Mary this
afternoon the workings of another
Yorkshire colliery.
The king visited a colliery adjacent
to that in which explosions occurred
today. The presence of their majes-
ties in the district greatly minimized
the fatalities because the miners We're
celebrating and had taken a holiday.
Therefore, instead of the usual 130
only 81 men were working that part
of the mine when the accident hap
pened. Thirty of these were killed
outright and one, the manager Of, the
pit; was brought up alive but died lat
er
The first explosion, which killed the
miners, occurred early nthe morning.
1t was followed by an explosion about
5 o'clock in the afternoon which re-
suited in the collapse of the roof over
whelming the entire rescuing brigade.
The king and queen visited the scene
tonight and personally expressed their
sympathy.

LEAKED OUT LITTLE TOO SOON.
Petition Plan Against Taft Only "Flash
in Panr-One Man Openly Admits
Part in "COnspiracy.'

Washington, July 9.-The scheme OF
Republican progressives in house OF
representatives to launch a fresh cam
paisn against asking him to withdraw
as the Republican nominee, proved to
be a flash in the PAN today.
When pinned down to it, the mem
bers who had participated in the con-
ference which developed the idea has
tily Joined the don't mention my name
club" Those who started the move
ment abandoned their efforts to show
the participation of the regular Re-
pubiicans in it, and it was clearly ap-
parent that there was little support
forthcoming from that direction.
Only one of the participants in the
informal conferences, Representative
Rolin Rees. of Kansas, publicly ad-
mitted his share in the proceedings.
He admitted that he had petition
aimed at Mr.. Taft and he made it pub
lie. coupled with the following state
nent:
Mr.. Recess Scheme.
"My scheme was to appeal to Presl-
dent Taft's patriotism and well known
love for party solidarity. To be sue
cessful, my petition would necessarily
have to be- presented to him by those
who were his political adherents at
the time he sought the nomination.
had no thought that my own views or
those of other progressive members
would make much impression on him,
but it seemed to me that If those who
really have his welfare at heart would
urge the views upon him that I tried
to set out in the petition, he would
take the step suggested or devise some
other plan that would relieve the party
from it's present embarrassment. did
not intend that the press should get
hold of this scheme until 1 had fair
opportunity to try it out, but since it
has become known I prefer that cor
rect version be given. I had not pro-
ceeded far enough to solicit any sigma
lures, but had submitted the plan to
several colleagues for their sugges-
tons"
The heading of Mr. Reess petition
recited the charges of fraudulent nom
ination against President Taft freely
made by the supporters of Col. Roose-
welt
PrOgressives See Defeat.
1t proceeded On a new tack, how
yer, by asserting that whether the
charges were false or true they, never
theless, would have an effect in the
election, and in the minds of progress
sive Republicans, they would result in
the defeat of the Republican ticket.
The petition of Mr.. Rees has not been
adopted by the insurgents.
While some of them were of the
opinion today that premature publicity
had killsd the scheme, others thought
differently and all concluded that it
would be best to hold another confer
ence when more insurgent leaders are
in Washington.
Not one of the parties to the con-
ference had any direct word from Sen
ator Dixon, Mr.. Rooseevlt's campaign
as to his attitude. In the
absence of word from him the insur-
gents were divided upon the best meth
cd to pursue Some believed in con-
petition and others favored

eyelOpmentS.

GREECE CONTINUES WAR
WITH ALLIES APPROVAL
Plenipotentiaries Named by
Athens Government Will Par
ticipate in Negotiations.

Athens. Dec. st is officially an
nounced that Greek plenipotentiaries
will participate in the peace negotia-
tons.
A semi-o official statement. issued to-
night, protests against interpreting the
fact that Greece did not sign the armis-
tice as proof that discussions exist
among the allies, and declares that 1t
was by agreement OF the allies that
Greece adopted an attitude different
from that Of the other states.
The explanation is given that Greece $
course was due to her anxiety that
there should be no interruption of her
naval action In the Ionian Sea for the
purpose OF preventing the revictualling
of the Turkish army in Epirus, nor In
the E3 IAN in order to prevent the
Transportation Of Turkish troops TO
Thrace, with respect TO which Greece
considered the interest Of her allies
rather than her own. The chances for
the conclusion Of peace would have suf-
fered from the reinforcement OF the
Dardanelles and the Tchataldja garri-
sons.
The staenent refers TO the Turco-
Italian treaty recently signed as proof
that It Is not necessary that peace ne
gotta lions shall be preceded by an ar
mistice.
