FIRE At
THE PHILADELPHIA MINE

Last night about $50 O'Clock, the
shaft house at the Philadelphia mine,
owned by the Vermillion Mining Co,
at the head of Freeman guloh, was
burned to the ground from an explos'
ion.
About that hour, Nick Wearne. the
engineer, was putting the blasting
caps ON the fuse preparatory to send
ing them down into the mine, when
for some unaccountable reason the
cap exploded, causing the explosion
of the whole box that blew the end
out of the shaft house and setting
Wearne's clothing on fire.
Bart Euntereiser, a fellow workman
at the boarding house, hearing the
report, rushed to the shaft house and
cut the burning clothing off CT Wearnt
and he and the cook carried him
to the boarding house. The mer
working at the bottom of shaft hear
ing the explosion and fearing some
thing had gone wrong, climbed the
ladders to the tunnel level, and wher
reaching Its portal saw the entire
shaft house in flames.
Word was at once telephoned pr
Ashbaufh who, with Joe Hesselblne
proceeded at once to the mine anc
brought the injured man to town ir
the doctors automobile. Upon ex
animation Wearne was found badl.
burned on the left side OF his neck
body and arm, but not OF serious
nature unless the pieces of coppe
caps that are embedded in the flesf
produce a poison.
| The fire burned away the collar o
| the shaft, causing II to cave consid
erably. The shaft house was new
building and that and the machiner!
was fully covered by insurance. TN
collar OF the shaft will be retimbere'
at once, and a new shaft house ant
machinery erected as soon as lumbe
and machinery can be placed upol

LOOKOUT FOR PEDDLERs

From the Iowa, Newmarket, Herald:
THE latest and most diabolical plot
to destroy human lives was shown
up last week when travelling fakir
peddling an innocent looking court
plaster was arrested at Henderson.
When searched at The police sta.
tion over $1,000 in currency was
found on his person and this made
the officers more suspicious than at
first and it was decided to fully inves
tigate, and a sample of his court
plaster was sent to Council Bluffs
and when analyzed was found to cen
tain large quantities of leprosy germs

ease in the world. The addler is
German and hardly able TO speak the
English language and appeared indif'

found out. Just what will be done
with him has not been made public
but hanging or even burning at the
stake is too good for dirty skunk
that would spread that greatest OF
all pestilence throughout the land"

The Gilpin Observer,
Central City, Colo.
Dear Sir:
In 1880 E. E. Evans and his wife,
Jane. resided in Central City. The
husband was then fifty-seven years
OF age and the wife fifty-six. 1t is
quite probable they are now dead.
There resided with them F.. Kill
bourne, miner, and his wife, Caro-
line, and their son, Edward E., the
latter being then thirteen years Of
age. Among their neighbors were
Henry Botshoff, his son. William,
Henry Pearson, and the family of
David Jenkins.
The Evans couple were natives of
sfesdt I'd there.
We believe that relative of Jane
Evans died a few years ago leaving a
substantial estate which is yet await
ing an owner. If she left any chill
dren they are interested. II not,
perhaps some of her former neigh,
bors can tell us what became of her
and particularly in what part of
Wales she was born. The amount in
volved is upwards of $4,000.
If you will publish this letter no
doubt 1t will come to the notice OF
some one who can give us informa'
tion.
Yours truly,

Any victory which this country will
win in the war will be a victory for
humanity. It's forces will leave in their
wake no enslaved nations, no tortured
and starved population, no ruined
homes, no devastated churches and no
devastated lands. It's purpose will be
to build up human liberty and secur-
ity and not destruction. 1t aims at
neither the conquest of land nor COM
merce, and so the nation enters into
war with clear conscience and clean
hands.

Dislocation Of the jaw, sometimes
caused by laughing or yawning, may
be replaced by gripping the jaw firmly
with the thumbs inside the patients
mouth and the fingers closed over the
outside, and pressing downward ond
then backward When the jaw slips
back into place look out for your
thumbs, for it will snap like the jaw
of a turtle. It is best to wrap the
thumbs with cloth for protection.

HELP WIN WAR.

Millions of Americans are impatient
to know how they can best serve their
country In this war. 1t is a noble
and generous impotence, but In all
seriousness 1t must be said that most
OF them can render no greater service
than to proceed soberly and earnestly
with their daily tasks, says New York
World. When the government needs
them, 1t will ask for them. as it has
asked for recruits to the navy and
the regular army; but until it requires
their services elsewhere, they cannot
do better than to go about their regu-
lar work, doing it, If possible, a little
more efficiently than they have hither-
TO done it. This war is unlike any
other war. 1t is only the privileged
few who wear the uniform and bear
the heat and burden of battle. Most
of the fighting is done by those who
wear no uniform and are many miles
from the trenches. It is a war that
must be won on the farms, In. the fac
tories, in the shipyards and in the
counting-rooms. 1t must be won not
by soldiers alone but by civilians-by
men and women alike, by boys and
girls. Everybody who raises food,
everybody whose days work adds to
the wealth and resources of the
country, everybody who helps to sus-
tain American industries is doing his
bit.

FEMINiSM AND FARM.

, The world is getting so accustomed
to seeing women undertake new work
that the announcement of the APP
pointment of a woman farmer comes
with small surprise, says Chicago
Herald. Yet the choice of a young
woman graduate Of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college to be superintendent
of the small ''farms" maintained by the
City Gardens association on the Har-
vester tract is not without its signifi-
canoe. Only the other day word came
that 10 young English women had gone
to France to work as carpenters. Every
day or two records some new item re-
vealing the same tendency of woman
to choose all work as her own. Now
inconspicuOuSly she turns to farming.
More accurately she returns to agricul-
ture, for, according to those learned in
the origins of society, woman was the
first farmer. Thus it is that unObtru-
sively the right to work is being won.
This right or opportunity to choose the
variety of effort which is most agree
able to the individual has been OBJ
tanned with no more rapidity than has
the ballot. In the final measurement
of happiness it Is, furthermore, not less
important. 1t goes to the routine Of
life Itself.
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1917-08-10

Among the reforms so far brought
about in Russia since the revolution
has been the abolition of claiming and
fiogging prison inmates. Only despot-
ism can countenance such useless cru
city. A free country makes many mis-
takes, but they are mostly mistakes Of
the head. not of the heart. In a land
where people live as one big family,
punishment is used as a protective and
refo-matory measure, and never in
spired by fear or vengeance.
