new Miners temple has been let and
work will commence Immediately on
the building. AS has been stated the
most central location In Abba was
secured at a more than reasonable
price. Surrounding the lot are beautt.
full shade trees and these will not be
molested in the least. The building
will be set back In the lot twenty feet
from the front and fifteen feet In the
east This will allow beautiful grass
plot to be put in condition for next
Year. An excavation will be made
under the entire building for future,
use. The building will be set probably
four feet above the level OF the ground
and will be worth more than the price
to erect it any time. 1t will be such
a monument to the miners OF District
10 that they will be proud OF 1t. The
office arrangement will be where the
officers can secure the most good out
Of the building. All the labor used on
the building will be union labor. It 10
thought now that while many of the
miners are not working regularly they
will be given such work rs they can
do. The preference will 80 to them.
1t will be one of the neatest little
buildings In the district and will be q
credit to the miners, who voted that a.
building should be erected. The vault
will be large and roomy, and all doc
uments will be free from any fire dan.

Ground was broken for the new
building yesterday and the force Of
men are hustling things along to beat
the band. While the weather is good
the men will get in their best ticks.
and 1t is expected there will be no de-
lay of the rapid erection of the build.

VICE PRESIDENT MARSH
ALL HAVING G0OD TINE

Atlanta, May 27.-Thomas Riley
Marshall, vice president of the United
States, is a good deal buster man in
Atlanta than he has ever been in
Washington. The educational ad-
dress which he delivered last night III
the Atlanta theatre before a packed
house, was only an incident Of his Wis
it.
They played a sort of unintentionaI
joke on the vice president. Three sep
arate and distinct reception and en-
tertainment committees were appoint
ed to take care of him, one from the
Chamber of Commerce, one from the
Indiana Society of Atlanta and one
from local college, with the result
that not even Theodore Roosevelt when
re came here as president, was more
received and more entertained than
Marshall
Each one of the reception commit
/ -ees planned series of stunts, lunch
cons, auto rides and other gentle am
easements for Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall,
so they have been kept going ever
since they stepped off the train.
The vice presidents we'll known
humor, however is saving the situa-
ton, and he seems to be having a

ATLANTA IN GRIPS
OF MAD DOC CRAZE

Atlanta May 27.-The annual mad
dog craze has started in Atlanta, and
PatroIman Barfeld of the city force,
with smoking revolver yesterday in
one short hour during the heated pat
of the day killed six dogs which were
mad-or which were merely suffering
for a drink of water.
The first two victims were at IT'S
Fraser street. Nobody had been Bit
ten, but some children had been fright
aued. There were two dogs in back
yard One was assumed to be mad,
and was killed. The other was killed
because it might have been bitten by
the one that was supposed to be mad.
The policeman could hardly be held
to blame individually, however, as he
only did the behest of frightened
neighborhood people, and in some
cases the owners of the dogs.
The doctors say that not one dog
out of ten which is killed as a suppos-
ed mad dog really has any sym9-
toms of rabies at all.
