RAMSEY COUNTY
LOOKS GOOD

Last spring George Wright, one OF
the most successful farmers of Cato
township, decided that he would like to
try farming in some other place, and
accordingly he sold his fine farm and
bought a nice 80 acre home near Elk
River, MINI, and moved with his fami-
ly there. He had not been there long
before he decided that he had made a
mistake in leaving Ramsey County,
and this fall he returned here and
bought his farm back, and as soon as
he can dispose Of his holdings in M:nn.
=! cota he Intends to return to this
county and go onto his farm again.
Mr.. Wright was in Devils Lake last
Saturday and in talking Win the
editor of this paper he stated that
Ramsey County never looked SO good to
him as at present. He has satisfied
himself that he can make more money
farming here than in any other place
Mr.. Wright is one of the Wright Bros
we'll known farmers of the Edmore
district, and is one of the best fel
lows on earth, and there are hosts OF
people in this county, who will wei
come the Wright family back.

THE. JEWISH
NEW YEAR

Rosh Hashonah, or New Years day, is
considered solemn and awe-inspiring
day of trial and judgment. All stand
at the bar Of Divine justice. The fate
of individuals are passed in review be.
fore the Supreme Judge. All their
thoughts are weighed in the balance,
tested, closely examined, keenly scrutin-
izcd. On this day it is decreed who is
to be taken and who left, who is to be
vouchsafed health and vigor and who is
to be stretched on the couch of lam
guish, racked with pain and depressed
with disease, who is to be blessed with
ease of fortune and who is to be DOOM
ed to struggle with adversely. On this
day our Maker rronounces his sentence.
But its execution is deferred until
atonement day. The day Of atonenent
or Yom Kippur is the most sacred Of
all Jewish holidays. In the Jewish cal
endar it falls on the tenth day Of the
seventh month, Tishri. The observant
Jew abstains from all food and drink
during the continuance of the day It
is day devoted to prayer and peai-
tence, a day wherem through confession
and contrition, the soul aims to be at
one with its God, to seek His mercy and
earn His pardon. The service lays
stress on the Divine grace and mercy
! that are freely held out to the sinladen
breast through penitencs and contrition,
! The great lesson of the day is that a
1cntritc heart AID an humble spiri.
are Gods most acceptable sacrifices and
that the fountain of His freely flowing
i forgiveness is exhaustless.

LIFE SAVERS UNABLE TO
MAKE PROGRESS.

Cardiff, Wales, Oct. 14-More than
400 Welsh coal miners perished, it is
believed from fire and afterdamp in the
Universal Colliery near here today.
A terrific explosion shattered the
works shortly after 931 men had des-
cended the pit.
1t was at first stated thatf the day
shift was composed of 74o men, but
later the larger figures were given out
by the officials. About 500 were taken
to the surface alive by rescue parties
up to noon and the managers of the
mine then expressed the opinion that
there was no further hope for those
remaining below.
The men brought to the surface were
found on the east side Of the mine
where the ventilation remained fairly
good.
On the west side, where the explosion
occurre, fire started and the rescue par.
ties were unable to make any progress.
The officials Of the mine found it
necessary to call detachment of po-
lice to keep back the women and chill
dren who crowded around the entranc-
es in hopes of obtaining some news OF
their relatives.
Most of the rescued men were suf-
fering from burns, shock or the ref-
fects of poisonous gases
The day shift descended the shafts
in the cages at a. m. An hour after.
ward deafening report brought the
inhabitants of the vicinity to the pit
head where they found the ventilating
and hosting machinery at tho top OF
! the shafts had been blown to atoms by
an explosion of great violence.
A man who had been working sixty
feet away had been decapitated by tho
force Of the blast. Rescue parties Of
miners belonging to the night shift
were soon on the scene making prepar
= ations to enter the mine in an endeav
= or to save their comrades. The fiery re
- =, putation Of the mine however, gave lit
- tie hope that any of those below coule
be rescued alive.
. An entrance was found by way of al
:" adjacent shaft. On descending the res
:, cuing parties came across severa
~ groups Of men huddled together Il
- portions Of the mine where the air wa
= still good. By noon they had picke
10 up and brought to the surface alto
Il. gether 500.
- The same pit was the scene of a
~ explosion thirteen years ago when 12
~ miners lost their lives. Only one o
~ those below at that time was rescue
u alive.
y All the men in the east side Of til
O. mine reached the surface by 4 'cloc

Fei the west side, which were om fire.

Four Lfeboats Smashed.

While the Carmanla . passengers
looked on, frantic and helpless, four
lifeboats lowered from the Volturuo
were .smas'tel against tho side u lso
heavily rolling ship and their passen'
gers, including women and children,
were drowned. A broken propeller OF
the volturno had so fouled the tackle
of the ifeboats that only six could be
lowered and only two away.
As darkness fell, the Carmania, kept
its powerful searchlights playing on
the waters around the burning boat,
looking for possible passengers that
might have taken to the sea in their
desperation. Captain Barr also threw
out burning buoys all night to light the
hastily scene. Their light played on
the poop of the Volturno and showed
plainly the hopeless women, children
and men huddled there throughout the
night.
At midnight there was some hope
aroused when the fire appeared to be
dying down. Captain Barr made an
other attempt to get boat to the ship
and when this failed he ran the Car
mania head on within 100 feet of the
Volturno's q stern. It was impossible,
though, to get line aboard the wreck.
The fire broke out fercely in the af-
ter engine room before dawn and when
daylight came it was seen that the
volturno was sinking by the head.
The gale had abated by them and
lifeboats from the rescue feet were run
alongside the burning liner, taking oil
the last of the survivors.
The volturno was abandoned at $3.50
am. on Friday and sank few minutes
later.
The 1876 missing passengers were
burned to death, drowned in the
smashed boats or jumped overheard.
About 9 p. m. Thursday burst OF
fame lighted the sky and the surglne
waves for miles around. 1t was fol-
lowed by a terrific explosion which sent
clouds of sparks and burning fragments
high in the air.
It was then that the searchlights OF
the ships standing by came into play.
Several steersge passengers with life
belts jumped into the water and were
picked up by the Carmania's boats.
