H0PEABAND0NED
FOR ELY MINER

All hope that George Floridan, the
last of the six miners buried and i'm
prisoned as the result of a Gavin at
the Sibley mine week ago will be
found alive has been abandoned. The
rescue crews that have been working
night and day since the accident last
night reached the cage in which it was
hoped Floridan might be found alive.
1t is of steel construction and was
found filled with rock and earth. 1t
is being cut up with hacksaws and
removed in pieces and it is apparently
certain that the dead body of Floridan
will be found at the bottom. 1t will
take some time yet to clear the mine
so that work may be resumed. The
entire shaft has been retimbered as
the rescue work preceded.

efforts made to settle the present
trouble without a resort to arms are
useless"

LEGISLATORS OF
RANGE WILL GO
T0DULUTH MEET
County Division Bill to Be Sub
ject of Important Conference
Saturday Evening.
LAWMAKERS WILL
GATHER AT LENOX
Attitude of Range and Duluth
Delegations on Cooperation
Is to Be Decided.

Senators Grlggs and haley and
Representatives Scott, Bessette, Muir
ply and Gill will meet the legislative
members elect from the Duluth dis
trict at an informal conference to be
held at the Lenox hotel in that city
Saturday evening of this week which
will probably decide what the atti-
tude of the Duluth delegation will be
on the passage Of county division
bill at the next session of the legisla-
ture. If the Duluth legislators agree
to support the county division bill the
range and Head of the Lakes legisla-
tors will work as unit in the next
Legislative assembly. If they refuse
to sanction the county division meas
are split is certain and the senator's
and representatives from the Sixtieth
and Sixty-first districts will act in
dependently of them on all matters Of
legislation at St. Paul next winter.
Range Crowd Invited.
The range delegation goes to Du-
luth on the invitation of the legislat-
ors-elect of that city. The affair is in
the nature of Informal caucus of
the St. Louis county delegation. The
speakership fight, the county option
and several other matters will
enter into the deliberations Of the
gathering and the range senators and
representatives are said to be con-
vinced that the Duluth members will
agree to support county division
bill. There is aready well developed
and growing sentiment among the
range representative in favor Of Sam
Y. Gordon's candidacy for speaker
ship. Substantially this means that
the delegation from the Sixtieth and
Sixty-frst districts will line up with
the county optionists. Representa-
tive Sam Scott Of Hibbing is home
from St. Paul, where he has been look
ing over the ground and is said to be
convinced that the county optionists
are in the saddle and will organize
the house. Mr.. Scott is not commit
ted, but it is declared that he is much
impressed with the. strength of the
county option faction after having
looked over it's hand.
One Invitation Declined.
The range members declined one
invitation to meet with the Duluth
members when it was discovered that
Senator Haley and Griggs had not
been invited to attend. Its R. S. V. P
was to the effect that the house and
senate members of the range were g
unit and would stand together and that
invitations to caucus which did not
include the entire delegation coulc
not be considered.
County division advocates are vel
pleased with the manner in which
matters are shaping up. There is n<
hesitancy, however, in declaring that
if the Duluth crowd will not agree
to support the measure the range
delegation will sail alone and will
make such combinations as will bt
the most effective with other inf1uen
tial factions in the state legislature.

The workhouse is too good for that

Copies of war plans found on cap
tured Uhlan officers shows this. They
also absolutely confirm the fact that
Germany expected no opposition from
Belgium.
According to these plans as made
public by the war Office, the Germans
had intended to occupy Brussels on
August 8 and to push right on at
top speed to Lille, which they had
hoped to invest on August 5. The
check at Lege, however, upset all of
their plans.
The French artillery is moving rap
idly to the front through this city.
AS the French soldiers pass through
the city they are wildly acclaimed.
1t is expected that a combined
