FACTS 70 REMEMBER.

Employers in all branches of bush
ness are putting up the bars against
the man who frequents the saloons,
Every young man should bear in mind
that every time he is seen entering or
coming out of saloon he is reducing
his chances to secure a good position
with a responsible business firm.
When business men want young men
to fill positions of trust and RESPONSE
bility they don't go to the saloon or
gambling room to find them; neither
will they accept the saloonkeeper' g
recommendation.

GRAND JURY PROBES MoYER
SHOOTING
Calumet, Mich, Dec. 30.-The spe-
cial grand jury reconvened at Han
cock today to probe further into the
crimes and disorders growing out of
the copper strike. The jury first took
up the matter of the forcible deporta-
ton of President Meyer.
Prosecutor Lucas said every angle
of the Meyer kidnapping would be
investigated.
Judge O. N. Hilton of. Denver, in
charge for the Federation in the alb
sence of Meyer, will furnish the
grand jury what evidence the Fedora
ton members have to support their
charge that members of the Citizens
Alliance weer responsible for the as
sault on Meyer.
At the inquest over the murdered
children at Calumet dozen wit
nesses were examined before the
noon recess. Judge Hilton will pre-
sent evidence this afternoon, which
he says will show conclusively that
the alarm of fire was given by a Citi-
zens' Alliance member.
The contradictory evidence given
yesterday at the inquest seems to
have created intense bitterness be-
tween Fdration mmbers and the Citi-
zens' Alliance, and there were indica-
lions that rioting might start.
Several hundred armed deputies
are patrolling the streets and for
bidding strikers to congregate.

The duration OF twilight. which de-

of the place. the season of the year
and the elevation of the observer. In
the higher latitudes 1t lasts longer,
because the sun Is inclined at more

than half an hour, while in latitude
