Second Husband Killed In Mine SIX
Days After Wedding.
Denver.-Mrs. Anna Josephine Vicks-
burg, widow with five children, who
remarked on Aug. 23 and whose sec
ond husband was killed six days later
in mine accident at Silverton, prob
ably will be the first person to obtain
the full death indemnity of $2,5O0
from the state compensation insur-
ance fund under the workmen's COM
pensation insurance law.
The second husband vii killed in a
fall in the Domingo Mining and Mill
ing Company's property. That COM
pany, classed among the small min
ing operators, insured the five men
working for it with the. state fund by
payment of premium of $66. Now
Mrs. Vicksburg, whose husband was
one of the insured miners, in all
probability will obtain the full indem-
nifty of $1,000.
The case is considered a striking H.
lustration of the beneficence of the
compensation law. Mrs. Vicksburg's
children range from 8 years to 13
years Of age. There are two boys and
three girls in the family. Under the
law she is considered an absolute de-
pendent upon her husband.

Trinidad, Colo.-There is nothing
suggestive of the casual or perfume
tory in the examination that John D.
Rockefeller Jr. is making of condi-
tions of the coal companies operated
by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany in southern Colorado.
Nothing escapes the keen, alert
young man of millions who is here to
learn for himself the exact situation
as to the surroundings and working
conditions of men, employed in the
southern coal fields, especially In con-
nection with the company of which he
Is a director.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who had travelled
all the way from New York without
his destination becoming known,
stepped from an ordinary sleeping car
on a Santa Fe train arriving from
Chicago Monday morning. He was ac-
companied only by his secretary,
Charles o. Heydt Mr.. Rockefeller
was welcomed at the station by Jesse
F. Welborn, president of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, and others.
1t is not in any sense a personally
conducted tour of inspection in that
Mr.. Rockefeller is led by officials who
show what they want him to see, but
the young magnate leads for himself.
He seeks the truth concerning the liv-
ing conditions of the miners and man
ifests the greatest interest in the wa
ter they drink, the conditions at the
trading places. the roads and high
ways, the comfort of the homes and
the facilities provided for the enter
tainment of the residents of the coal
camps.
He doesn't seek figures as to out
put or concern himself with means for
increasing production, but talks to the
miners as one with an interest in
their welfare.
He asks pointed questions concern
ing the character of the work, and
seeks suggestions from miner, fire
ers, the housewife and the camp doc
tors.
He ate lunch with the camp super
intendent fresh from the mines, at
tired in overalls.
He talked to the school children,
and throughout showed the interest
that he undoubtedly feels in the gen.
eral welfare and social betterment of
the workers in the mines.
At Berwind Mr.. Rockefeller entered
a number Of the houses inhabited by
the miners, made inquiries concerning
the heating, lighting and home condi-
tions generally, visited the camp hos
pital and made numerous inquiries
concerning the health and comfort of
the camp and commended the work
on the roads and grounds accom-
plished by means Of the money con-
tributed by the Rockefeller founda-
ton.

TWENTY-FIVE Per Cent More Gold.

Denver.-Thomas Annear, superin-
tendent of the United States mint in
Denver, announces a gold and silver
increase from Colorado points which
will total from $8,O00,00O to 100000
900 in a year if the increase keeps up
to the mark it has made for the last
three or four months.
1--WE run about s20,0OO,o0o year in
gold and silver from points outside
Colorado and about the same amount
from points within Colorado" declared
the superintendent During the last
three or four months there has been q
remarkable increase, running between
twenty and twenty-five per cent In
both volume and the number of places
shipping to us. That is, both as to the
total and as to the different properties
which must be working, else they
would not be making shipments. This
is not theory or prediction; it is
a fact shown by gold and silver de-
posits. It can mean only one thing,
and that is revival in the mining
business. A curious feature of the in
crease is that it is coming almost en-
tirely from Colorado"

POOR ADVERTISEMENT.

Our town offers especially strong inducements to men with growing fap' flies who want to raise their chi.4rsn in the atmosphere of the saloon; no town offers better opportunities for ed ucating the youth in the habit of drink ing; we boast of ten saloons, one on almost every corner"
 No one ever saw an advertisement like that and never will says the Kansas City Star. There is not a town in the world that bases it's prosperity on the number of it's rum shops. Vil- lages, towns and cities advertise their good points, not their bad points. They have this and that opportunity for employment The climate is more or less wonderful The transportation facilities are told of Good neighbors are valuable asset. The town has so many churches and so many schools. If it is without saloons, that good point is made much of as an appeal to men and women with families to come there. But if it has saloons there is never a word about it! That is hidden, covered up"

NEW DEPARTMENT WILL DEVELOP AGRICULTURE
Continued from first page )

our Extension Agent, MT. L. A. Mark ham, Prescott, Arkansas. He cannot be an expert on all these things of course. but our work will be carried on in the closest connection with the Government and the State Agriculture authorities and any information which we cannot supply will be quickly ob tained for you from these other sour ces. Through systematic lecture work and the distribution of standard lit erature it is planned to wage a vigor- GUS campaign of general agricultural educational work.
 THIRD: To get the farmers, the business men and the railway in terests to working harmoniously to gether for those things which concern us all alike. Surely we can all join hands in working for better farm con ditions for agriculture is just as truely the basic industry in this country as manufacturing is the basic industry in New England. We are not so much deceived as to imagine that we could run a railroad in this country if there were no farms in it, and we do not believe that any business man imag ines that bank, a factory or store could be run very long without farms. Here then is common ground on which we can all stand and work together and let us, divesting ourselves of all distrust, suspicious and petty jealous ies. go about this great farm improve ment work in a broad liberal and busi- ness-ike plan.
 ''Mr Markham will give all his time to this work at the expense of our company and he is now maturing plans for strengthening and greatly charging the produce business and for placing it upon safe, paying and altogether business-like basis at all points as it now is in some places. In this work we earnestly solicit the CO operation of the good people along our line and we know we shall re- ceive it in the fullest measure.
 Yours very truly,

Oriqin of Veronica.

One of the most interesting of twist ed names is the girls name, Veronica. which, by the way, is not so common as it's beauty entities it to be. You probably know the legend of how St Veronica wiped the brow of Christ on his way to Calvary, and how on the handkerchief a miraculous print of the Sayior's face remained This was the ''Nerum ikon" (the true image) celebrated in Christian legend, and the game Veronica bestowed upon the saint was simply an anagram of those two words

Over in Paree yoa go up to the guy you want to lick, put your right hand on his shoulder and snap your fingers a couple of times. When he raises his hand to punch. grab his wrist Twist it to the right and back into him, holding on. All you gotta do then is bend and toss him over your shoulder" But sup pose something goes wrong?' said one Of the songsters. Then there's the hat trick said the speaker, impress sively. Try it on his hat brim. That gets him sore and your hand is in a good place" Whereupon the song men guyed him. A minute later there entered a tall, wide-shouldered strang- CT. The man who had been to Paris spotted him. See that big guy? Just watch me put it over on him" While the big stranger looked on in amaze ment the piano player fiicked him once on the shoulder The air was tense as he kicked again. Like a flash the strangers right hand landed flush on the Jaw. dropping the pianist like a sack Of cement. Out of the uproar that followed came the cry from tr singers: Co on, Joe, Try the

WE CAN AND WE WILL.

A few years ago 1 was up in the interior of China" says Bishop Samuel P. Spreng of the Evangelical church
 Tt was about three years after they had determined to do away with the opium traffic. The opium traffic is as great curse, or was as great a curse in China, as the liquor traffic has ever been here, and the government de- termined to put that traffic away with in ten years. That was in 1906. Three years later in the interior cities you could not find an opium den except hidden away in the back alleys, in the little places, just where they have to look for the blind tigers and places of that kind here. By the time the ten years are up that traffic will be plotted out among those four hundred millions of people, and they did that, they un- dertook that, in spite of the fact, or in view of the fact, that nearly S3 per cent of their revenues came from the opium traffic. They let the revenue go and looked for other sources of rev enue that are honorable and honest and clean, to carry on their govern ment and let the opium traffic go. And l say if the most conservative, the bulkiest, the biggest people on the face of the earth can put away the opium traffic inside of ten years, we Ameri- cans ought to be ashamed of ourselves if we cannot put down the liquor traf- fc. And we are going to do it, we are able to do it, we are not going to say that we cannot if we will, We can and we will. God helping us"

STORM SAVED BURNING SHIP
Waves, Breaking Over Abandoned
Craft, Extlngulshed the Blazing
6enzine.

A strange shipwrecS story. unreport.
ed by cable from the Azores, arrived
at New York from Horta, Fayal, by the
Holland-America freighter Zaandyk,
which was forced to put into this port
by heavy weather that reduced her
coal supply. Captain Barendsen says
he learned from the skipper Of the
Norwegian tank steamship La Habra,
which arrived at Horta on February 7,
bound from Talara bay, Peru, by way
Of the Panama canal, for London, that
her cargo Of benzine caused an explo.
sion aboard as she was nearing the
Azores to replenish her bunkers.
La Habra was quickly ablaze from
stem to stern. About half of the crew
were on the forward part Of the tank
and the other half aft. Fearing that
the falls and other boat gear would
be burned, the tanks skipper ordered
all hands to leave her in lifeboats and
stand by. The engines had been
stopped and La Habra drifted into the
trough and, as she was deeply laden,
the seas, which were very high, washed
over her.
The chief officer and five men were
in boat towing astern when the
matches of the tank were blown of and
cataracts Of blazing benzine shot over
her sides and stern. The boats painter
was burned of and the chief officer
and his men went drifting down the
blast, being without oars or sail, and
disappeared. The other boats were
threatened with destruction by the
burning benzine. which spread out all
around La Habra, making her look like
a fire ship In lake Of fame.
The skipper OF the tank expected
her to be destroyed utterly before his
eyes. He was elated when a giant
comber broke around her, dousing the
hre almost completely. Other seas
helped In the work, and all hands ex.
cept the chief officer and those in the
vanished boat went back on their shin.
They found that all charts, books and
instruments of navigation had been de.
stroyed.
