THE CITY IN MOURNING
The Most Disastrous Accident in the History
of Ely.
Much Relief Felt When the Last Man Was
Found.

The work of recovering the
bodies of the victims of the Sibley
mine accident is being carried on
as fast as money. men and mater
ials can make it possible. Since
the accident a week ago Monday
morning, not one minute of respite
has been granted in the work of
getting down to the place where
the men are supposed to be buried
under tons of ground and broken
timbers.
Every minute since the accident
has been one of hard effort and
privation on the part of the super
intendents and the crews at work
in the shaft. A few minutes after
the fatal cave-in took place, Super
intendents Trezona and McCurdy
were on the job with all possible
labor that could be worked. Long
heavy timbers were placed over
the cave and anchored by means of
wire ropes to the solid steel beams
upon which rests the steel shaft
hause. The cave was then filled
with tagging and hundreds of
cords of wood were required to fill
the yawning nav at the mouth of
the shaft. All available timber
men in the city were put at work
and carload after carload of sawed
timber were requisitioned by special
train from the mills at Winton and

Christmas Parcel Mail

1t may be bit early in the sea-
son but after all Christmas is near
and before many of us are aware of
it the great season will be here.
That is the way the postmaster
lgeneraisloeked at it, for he has
been issuing instructions to the
local offices with reference to the
Christmas mail. He anticipates
that the volume of parcel post dur
ing the season will establish new
record.
In order to prevent congestion
| in postofice lobbies, postmasters
are asked to urge the public to OBJ
tain in advance the tags which
mnst be filled out and attached to
insured, c. o. D. and registered
parcels. Attention is also called to
the necessity of having parcels pro-
perly wrapped and addressed.
The address of the sender must
appear on the face of the package,
preferably in the upper left hand
corner. All parcels must be pre-
sented at the postoffice window or
given to rural carriers and not
placed in ordinary mail drops.
| Of course the postoffice will be
helped, just as everybody else will
be helped, by earlv shopping.
And then the people will be help
ing themselves by shipping with
care. that is packing with care and
addressing with care. 1t is wise
policy to ship your gifts early.
Put little legend on your pack
age: Not to be opened until
Christmas day" In ninety-nine
cases out of a hundred the injunc-
tion will be needed. The post
master general calls special atten-
ton to the insurance feature con-
nected with the parcel post system
and advises that the public make
liberal use of the same. The fea-
ture- is one of. the very best that
has yet been developed in connec-
ton with the parcel post and many
people have not as yet, come to
the point, where they have famil-
iarized themselves with it. and
make the use of it which should be
made.

at once worked up into sets for the
shaft under way.
The men worked like demons
and every move was made to count
The news of the accident had bare
ly spread over the city when full
sized working shaft was being
sunk. The police officers were
sorely tried in keeping the crowds
away from the scene and ropes
were stretched at a distance and
the large concourse of people kept
back. Hosting apparatus was
speedily improvised, a hosting
engine rushed to the scene, pipes
connected and the work of sinking
the shaft and timbering the same
was under way in almost less time
than it takes to tell it.
Work that otherwise would have
taken weeks and months to accom-
plish had been done in hours.
This seems strange but when one
considers that full sized shaft
was being sunk at the rate of
about II feet per day it goes to
show that no time was lost.
Friday evening at about six
O'Clock, groans were plainly heard
by the men at work. The sounds
came from below and proved that
there was life in at least one of the
entombed men. Efforts were
doubled and soon the men heard a
voice speaking to them from be

All the Unfortunates Who Were in the Accident
Taken From the Mine.

in the old country besides brother
in Ely.
Tuesday morning the remains of
Fred Antonsich were brought to
light. They were at once prepared
for burial at the Fenske under
taking rooms and the funeral took
place that afternoon from the Cath
olic church. This funeral was
also largely attended, the Cath
olic Order of ForeSters and the
St. Laurenz society turning out in
a body. He was young man and
married only a short time. His
widow resides at the corner of
Chapmen street and Central ave-
nue..
Tuesday evening the remains of
Gidion Oinenen were found. His
funeral was held early the follow
ing morning from the Finnish
church and was largely attended.
Oinonon leaves a wife and seven
children, the children being at the
Children s Home in Duluth. The
mother is confined at the Fergus
Falls Hospital for the insane. The
circumstances surrounding this
family are we'll known in this city.
Only one man remains un-
accounted for. George Floridan,
who was working on the cage when
the accident happened. 1t is sup
posed that his remains will be
found on the cage when the debris
from the same will have been
cleared away. The top of the cage
had been reached when this article
was written and the work of clear
ing the same was in progress. At
first it was thought Floridan might
possibly be found alive but from all
appearances of the surrounding
ground, he probably has met with
the same fate as his co-workers.
The cage is wedged into the old
shaft at a depth of about 10 feet.
Under the cage mammoth bulk
head has been built to preclude the
possibility of its dropping through.
Considerable relief wiliTbe felt by
all when the cage is clear and the
fate of the last of thes victims is
known. Floridan resided with his
family on Sheridan street in the
house formerly occupied by Chas.
Hegman and family. He has been
married little over a year.
The bottom of the cage was
reached early this morning and the
remains of Floridan were taken
therefrom and to the Fenske un-
dertaking parlors. AS expected
the cage was filled with ground
and the full depth had to be dug
out before the body was reached.
The funeral will take place this af-
ternoon from the Catholic church.
Floridan was we'll and favorably
known in this city and leaves many
friends.
Jos. Skusek, the man who under
went the narrowing experience of
being caved in from Monday morn
ing until Saturday morning, is do
ing very we'll at the Shipman Hos
pital. Owing to the strain he
underwent, the hospital physicians
on Monday cut off his leg below
the knee. The leg had died and
no circulation coule be worked up.
An operation will today be per-
formed and the leg amputated above
the knee when it is expected he
will rapidly recover. He is men
tally clear as can be expected. He
claims to have been conscious the
larger part of the time he was con-
fined.
All credit is due the linen who
so tirelessly worked on the rescue
job. Under the able supervision
of the superintendent who have
been on the works night and day,
the crews have labored like heroes

Frankly. do not like the COW, and
have never taken the trouble to make
her acquaintance. do not like her
unremitting regularities, such as be-
ing MIXED twice day and having her
feed bills paid. could not be patient
under her glaring Irregularities; such
as breaking out Of the pasture and
meandering off into the next town

shotgun. The COW has never appealed
to me, either as a business proposi-
tion or a character; am afraid Of her
husband. and her children interest me
chiefly as veal.
This is just a statement Of my own
feelings in the matter of course, and
seek no quarrel with the thousands of
able men who can love and manage
her. At one time | liked horses no
better. But in the country a horse
quickly became a necessity, and thus

SCRIPTURE.
Matthew 2s: 1.s.


In the end Of the sabbath, as it be.
gan to dawn toward the first day OF
the week, came Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
And behold there was great earth
quake; for the angel Of the Lord de-
scended from heaven and came and
rolled hack the stone from the door,
and sat upon it,
His countenance was like lightning,
and his raiment white as snow:
And for fear Of him the keepers did
shake, and became as dead men.
And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for
know that We seek Jesus, which was
crucified
He is not here. for he is risen, as he
said, Come, see the place where the
Lord lay.
And go quickly, and tell his disci
pies that he is risen from the dead
and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilcei there shall ye see him; 10, |
have told you
And they departed quickly from the
sepulchre with fear and great joy; and
dia not to bring his disciples word

SPIRIT OF TOLERANCE.


The spirit Of making allowances
does much for the comfort and happi
ness 81 mankind
No mental attitude better reduces
friction and strife and heartache than
does the broad viewpoint we call toler-
ance; and no surer remedy for unkind-
ness can be found than obedience to
the time-honored Golden Rule.
All Of us want kindness; to do as
we would be done by would make
Beacemakers Of us all And to keey
alive that tolerance which assures us
the fellowman deserves our kindness
would make certain the tranquil relsr
lions with each otrer which men so
sorely need.
Why are we not more universally
kind? Largely because we fail to
make allowances for another person s
point Of view de has done us wrong

known beiterf and so our criticism
falls upon the offender and lessons the
