Between the fire and the water used In putting it out a tremendous amount of damage ,was done. ,, The fire started about 10.30 o'clock and it is presumed that it caught from a .lighted match or a lighted cigar stub thrown .n between the hotel and the log building near^the side of it. The flames crept up the walls and caught in the second story, and then through to the attic. The fire brigade did very good work and it was due to their heroic efforts that the building was saved from total destruction. We'understand there is sufficient insurance to cover tho loss by the fire. .' • " WIND STORM IN NORTH DAKOTA VERDICT IS MADE PUBLIC Thorough Investigation Into Recent 1 * .i <*■ Fire, in Struthers' Grocery- Proprietor Arrested Hundreds, of Homes Are Wrecked-Trains Off Tracks 25- A CORRECTION " Wo wish to corroct a Btatomont that appoared In tho Mlchol Reporter to tho offoct that Mr. H.

Struthers, the proprietor of the "Fair" store, that was burned out on the night of the 17th, was arrested last'night at about 6.30 by Chief Clerke and lodged in the city jail on a charge of incendiarism in connection with the conflagration. Fire Chief McDougall considered the circumstances rather suspicious the night of the fire and on making further enquiries the next -morning, he so informed Mr. Struthers. ,The consequence was that Mr. Rankin, who was in the city doing some adjusting for a Vancouver house, asked that Mr. Struthers be called before a jury, and examined as to theincidents relative to the fire. This was accordingly done and a jury was selected on Wednesday to inquire into the circumstances. They went down to view tlie premises and after a very thorough inspection and considerable cross tangled evidence, they adjourned until Thursday. Thursday's session was taken up with practically a repetition of the former evidence and nothing very definite was arrived at. A number of witnesses were summoned for Friday and on being examined brought forth some evidence partly in contradiction of Mr. Struther's statements of the two'previous-days.

' ' 'When slavery became a glaring evil in, this, country,'the truly proressivo ■and-right-iniiided-people-were-quick^to-' point out that our entire republican institutions, were a farce and our boast of liberty and equality a lie, as long,as the "stars and stripes'waved, over an entire race of slaves. - ' - Slavery was abolished. The black rfian was not only declared' equal before the law with the white man, but was also granted'full citizenship., But still the black man continues to be despised and treated as the one timo slave; indeed, in many respects ho is treated worse than in slavery day's, for he is no man's property now. Ills .death means no economic loss to any member of the master race. He may not resent thc white man's Insults and the white man's blows. His honor, as another judgo recently docldod, is not equal to that of tho white man. He is oppressed In tho north nnd forcibly disfranchised *in the south, He Is Instilled, hnrrnsscil, persecuted everywhere. If ho Is only suspected of a crimo, 11 crime which In many cases a while man committed, tho white peoplo In whoso midst he lives demonstrate to him their superior civilization by resorting to tlio gruesome custom of tho dark ages, of seizing their victim, without trial, without giving him tho benefit of-doubt, and burning him nllvo, Verily our republican institutions are still a farco, our boasl of liberty and orpinHly Is still n startling Ilo. In Its treatment of Iho colored mnn, thn Amorlcan nation continues to ills* graci- 11 Hnlf before thu entire civilized world.

' * A degenerate 'of the underworld, driven to crime by hereditary arid environment, commits a murder. In an incredibly short time he is tried, convicted and inarched off to the electric chair' or gallows. A degenerate off spring of a millionaire, with a record of vice, becomes a cold blooded murderer. A lengthy expensive, sensational trial takes place, in which nledicnl and IcTgal authorities combine to prove that the criminal is insane,--and therefore not responsible for his crime, and twelve months lator the samo authorities'come to prove that he is sane again and should bo set at liberty. > ' It is not. only the color of a man's skin that determines the treatment accorded to him in this "land of'the brave and a the free,' 4 but also, and especially the class to which he belongs. When Senator William ,T. Stone of Missouri —let his name be remembered in disgrace—said "I did not strike a man; I slapped a riigger," he was not only despising the man with the black-skin, he was despising the man who was doing menial' service. If the "nigger" had happened to be an oirental prince visiting the'States in royal style with plenty of money in his purse and official ' connection's at Washington this same senator- Wll* liam .T. Stone would probably have fawned upon him.' In the, same disgracing' manner in which Senator Stone said'"only a nigger," I once heard a rich young' lady on an ocean steamer 'say "only a stoker" when a poor young fellow died at sea from heart i-stroke as a result of his hard, prolonged ulabor.> And yet she could not have crossed,the ocean without the social service of that stoker arid. without, the • services of the waiter-in the Pullman car Senator AV Stone would have had to learn to help himself. , ' ■ <_, , It is the poor man, the man who "has neither money ,nor 'friends" who is looked down on in* the" present soc- ial order, and if you happen lo be a poor man and' a colored man besides so much the worse for you. Byt remember, my, colored brethren you, who bear the double yoke of your despised race and your oppressed class remember that there is a large organization of men and women in this country into which vyou will be re* celved. as an equal, provided that you understand and approve of' Its alms and objects, where race prejudice is as thoroughly obliterated as sox prejudice, and where your- whito fellow 'toiler will take'you by the hand and call you comrade. This organization Is' the Socialist party, Socialists strive to bring about ti state of society in which ovory man shall enjoy the fruits of his toil, in whicli thoro will be work for.all," and no ono shall live in ildeness on tho exploitation of the labor of his fellow men. Socialists strive to bring about a stale of society In whleh tlio worth of a human being will not be measured by tho color of hin sicli*-., nor by tho size of his bank account, nor by tho so* clnl sorvlco thnt he renders. Socialism moans-much to tho white man; It means still moro to you. I, n woman, am tolling you UiIh, nnd I can sympathize with you, For tho womon of tho working clnnH likewise havo a double yoke to bear. You are tho op- pressed race, AVo aro,tho opprossod sex.

Aug. 28—Australian newspapers received, by the.

' ... Anders Lorence, one of fWe emaciated seamen, rescued by the steamer Tofua, said: "Some of the party want • ed-to drink the blood of the captain's children" but Jensen stopped them and the mother threw their bodies in the sea.". - - - : ' '. Few more tragic "tales of tho sea are on record than that brought" by the • steamer Makuria which struck Middleton Reef June 18th. The suffering and tragedies of the survivors we're briefly,described by cable. z r ' „ Five renjained of twenty two when the.Tofu took them off, so emaciated from- thirst and'starvation that they . had to be carried on board the steamer. . * - _ _ . , -.,7 ..-.'.

Yes, there was no doubt about, it. The ^ pretty stenographer was sitting upon the lap of the gentleman. The lawyer noticed the name, that was lettered on the window and then-searched in the' telephone book. Still keeping his eye on the scene across tho street he called the* gentleman up. In a few minutes he saw him start violently and take,-,down the .receiver. .- ... ■ "Yes," said the lawyer, through the telephone "I should think you would start."'* , .

PREPARATIONS GOING ON MONTREAL, Aug. 27— There was another interesting session of the royal commission yesterday when the witness was Rodolphe Brunet, the gentleman, who secured contracts for which rhe was often not ,the lowest bidder. ' --; .Mr. Brunet was invited by Mr. Perron'to explain his good fortune. According to Mr. Brunet, English contractors for the' last severity five or more years havo been. obtaining a large proportion of the city contracts. As a French Canadian this pained him greatly, and he had gone to tho rescue of his nationality nnd had patriotically secured the lion's share of the jobs which a were then being ■*■ . ' ' given out. Then Mr.-Perron "pointed out that he had been receiving commissions from English firms and asked him how.he reconciled this with the idea that he was" in business merely' for the glory of his nationality and to see that French Canadians got a good part of the work. Mr. Brunet's reply-was that these commissions * received from English firms for securing tenders were merely a matter of business in which patriotism cut no figure with him at'any time. His examination was not conclud-, ed when the commission adjourned for the day. >* - THE CANADIAN, 7BANK OF COMMERCE / it n *- HEAD OFFICE TORONTO,, B. E. WALKER, President .

The whole trend of'modem commercialism and industrialism is unquestionably-toward concentration of forces, the eliminating of "all features that would tend" to decrease thc mobility of,- working arrangements, and the. discarding of 'methods not .productive.of better mutual relations. " ' In the religious world the same holds true.

The latest attempt of the Coal Operators Asso- ciation to reduce the wages of the', miners has been fired through the.Alberta government. The article explaining the matter will be found on page one. It appears that while there are more than enough machine runners the government^.wants to force the men to work more than eight hours a day. They are trying to make out that there is likely.to be a shortage'of coal'around Alberta, but'-while tlie production could be increased—yes doubled' or trebled—by the employment of more men at. each of the? mines, it is certainly an unjust thing to' try and force a few men to work', more than-eight hours a day. ■ The country from ocean to ocean is full of unemployed men, and the coal production could be increased to as much as will be needed without slicing up the already low wages of the'few men who are daily toiling and helping to keep' the idle brothers from starvation. „ Now that the editor of the Free Press has de livered himself on the Sunday base' ball question the issue can be considered as settled, and all lesser lights will please go out.

It is terrible to contemplate what might have "happened had not Lukco been there ■ to take the part of Figner. • During thc evidence Figner was asked if he had felt tho effects of the blows he, received, he said his head had been effected ever,-since. It will .be remembered by many of Flg- ner's friends that he was in a railway smash'up a few months ago. These points,were clearly brought.out by the chief' constable of Coleman in the evidence. . He also showed how a chance blow might have beon struck on that part of Fignei-'s head that was ,hurt In tho smash up and murder might have been done.. , * The clilof constable in summing up advised that a fine bo Imposed upon Bulko's friends, and„that Bulko be .fined iind given forty eight hours to get out of town for fear something serious might occur In the future.

Thoy aro spoiling their honeymoon In Cnlgary, i < -The most important match of ■ the league series was brought off at Mich- el-last Saturday, and resulted in'a win for Coal Creek by the narrow" margin of one goal. The winning of this game placescCoal Creok In the-proud position of league, champions for the present season. They are three points ahead of their nearest rivals for an equal number of games played, and there is no combination of circumstances that can arise which would displace them at. the head of the table. We are informed that- the Michel club have "protested tho game they lost to Frank on ■ the' ground that' Frank had played an ineligible man, but we think this will not affect the championship for a replay is.' never allowed for an lnfringment of'this kind. . The usual procedure is to penalize the club violating this law by deducting a certain-number of points from their total., ■ This method is" adopted'in all of the old;country.leagues and the same rule was followed«in-the Crfov/s Nest Pass League three seasons'ago in the case of Coleman- vs Coal Creek. . ' ' ' We. may Inform the readers of this column- that Coal Creek are not new to championship "honors,'." they having .succeeded* in-oaptur!ne-tlie-trophy-ev=- ery year since they entered the competition with'the'exception of last, year when tbe Michel club secured the honor. The performance, of the club this season Is, remarkable for tho fact that the. team'is-made up of light' weiglits. With the exception of Jack Manning there is not a heavy weight In the team, and the halves and forwards.of tho side might be termed midgets. So the triumph of the club on this .occasion Is really the reward due to askllful side, ' - Another league gamo was arranged lo tako place, last Saturday between tho Frank nnd Coleman clubs, but on the day of tho game a friendly was substituted In Its stead, Tho reason given for the alteration was that the clubs wished to play a .benefit for Fraser of Coleman. The result ot the-.game Is nol to hand, but we hope Mr, Fraser would profli considerably by tho proceeds . ■ ^Vc append the loaguo table giving tho poRltion'of* tho different clubs up to date. the left, ;A corner was forced on Allan. ..* This, was well placed but Parnell headed-clear, and play was transferred to the 'other end. The- game continued on- fast lines until the intervals but.no further scoring took place. ■ -> \ ■ - ,,- ■ - Half time CoarCreek l, MIchel'.O:-. Considering'the'-strong breeze that was blowing. Coal Creek were none too safe with only, a lead of .one goal and it was long odds on Michel beating this score' in the opening-of a the sec- onc) half. The game was quiet at the opening,and play was confined to mid- field for a while. ■ Michel was first to,become dangerous, but Murray shot past1 from a good opening. From ,the goal kick Michel returned to the at- taclc'and a corner was gained off Swee- nlo, but Weaver*• placed behind. Hartwell and Joinson were next prominent anil Mason kicked into touch, to clear. From the throw in Manning got away but his final shot went past. Gomme got possession from the goal kick and passed to .Millet, who shot over the bar, A.little later, tho same player had a fino shot whicli Horrocks Just succeeded In stopping but was forced to give away a corner to clear. This proved abortive and play' was transferred to midfield. • Phoenix from a forward pass by Sweonle got well awav but his' parting shot lacked sting anil Jolce had no difficulty in clearing. Contrary to general expectations Michel did not monopolize' plav this half, Coal Creek having quite a "good share of the -game. This was partlv accounted for by the fact that the. high wind had .lessened, but the excellent defence by Coal Creok halfs and backs was the main factor ot Michel's inefi I'ectivenoss. ° Millet^ from whom'much was.expect ed ivas well held'down- by Parnell, and Johnstone accounted for Barnes, who wns. not so effective asusaul. About mlil way through this half Mlchol had a, lino opportunity to score. McQueen "Sont In a fine cross' right across goal, but Barnes headed past. Manning nearly added a second' score for the Creek; from a well placed corner by Hartwell, but he headed'the ball just over the bar. Michel were exhibiting a great anxiety-'to score as -timo .approached and endeavored to rush the Creek defence. - Harry Allan was a valuable player to his side at this time his -coaching of the' younger players did much, to keep Michel out. -Darkness was now settling down and it was hard to follojjJ the play. The game In the closing minutes was fought- out in midfield, and when the whistle blew Coal Creek .were still leading. Final result Coal Creek 1, Michel O.Coal Creek on' the day's play were the better team and deserved to win. Tlieir defence was simply unbeatable, and the forward-especially in the'first half,, played * good football, Hartwell and Manning being always prominent. Michel was well served by their- defence, but the forwards were disappointing and seemed to be easily beaten.

FRANK PARIS, France, Aug. 27—A sudden announcement that a public beheading would take place at 4.30 o'clock th '* morning ih ti o" Boulevard fronting the Sante prison created a sensation tn Paris which has not seou an.execution in fifteen jears. Immediately nn immense crowd gathered which whs kept back by guards. Parisian sentiment has long, been opposed to,, public executions for In the past they were always accompanied by scandalous scene of revelry, i The victim was a butcher 23 years of age,-; who in 1908 stabbed his mother, and that not resulting in death, finished the deed by strangulation. The motive was robbery. The affair came off on time., - ,. The victim =was seized and thrown under the knife. "A flash and all was oyer. The crowd then dispersed without disorder. »" '-* ,., i^^Af;^*f*i4Y¥¥¥¥'¥i-*f¥¥¥¥^,f ¥¥¥■¥¥* | .COLEMAN , J ********************il**^^ The foundation for tho now school Is now complete and tho carpontor work has commenced.

HARDWARE TINSMITHINC PLUMBING Advertise In The Ledger PAGE SIX THE DISTRICT, LEDGER, FERNIE, ■ B.C. AUGUST 28 1909 •fl t& CARPENTERS MAY STRIKE Will Quit Work Unless an Increase of Ten Cents is Given Them. ■ (Winnipeg Free Press) . At a crowded meeting of the United Carpenters of Winnipeg and. district, held in Trades hall lust night various communications from the building exchange were read and considered by the; men. A lengthy discussion followed. The ultimatum of the huilders was in effect that they did not propose to make any definite agreement with the' carpenters union until about 1910. Indignation was expressed on all sides that the carpenters had been repeatedly ignored in their suggestions since January, 1907, when ah agreement similar to the one now presented was submitted. Cost of Living Increased It was pointed out that it was over five years 'Since there had been any, increase in tho carpenters wages, notwithstanding the fact that the cost of living had increased in every detail -in that. time. -It was also pointed out that heavy expenses were incurred by carpenters jn supplying themselves with necessary tools, anil the short season for work open to them made an increase over the present rate of 35 cents a necessity. It was unanimously agreed to lake steps lo enforce a new agreement, which demands an increase to 45 cts. an hour. It is understood that work is 7.0 cease- tonight on the buildings and works, the contractors for'which fail to sign the .agreement demanded by the union. WINNIPEG CONDITIONS" WE MUST FIGHT •' OR STEP DOWN A Lecture Upon Naval Defense From Hon. George E. Foster. . HALIFAX, Aug. 26—Hon.' G. B., Foster addressed a large audience tonight delivering a stirring non-partison afl- idTess.on^anjLmp^iaLiiSbjec^ The Winnipeg Voice has the- following about the-building-trades conditions of that city:' . \ The Sheet ^Metal Workers The. Sheet Metal Workers' strike is' over. The union" has .secured agreements with a sufficient number 'of employers to put all. its members, at work again. On the other hand the trouble may not be over. The-firms which wished to work with the Sheet Metal Workers union had to get out of .the Builders exchange, and those inside are operating with non-union labor. When the time comes to penalize the outside men, or to start oh new jobs, it will be found that the road to conflict has been;greased by a number of, building contractors who are very largely responsible for the antagonisms which have existed in the building trades of the city. The Electrical Workers The Electrical Workers strike also does not appear to .be worrying the unionists much. Many of the men are now employed under satisfactory conditions, but other firms arc endeavoring to got along' without° practical men until such time as a conclusion Is reached. The point at issue now is at to when a schedule should expire. Tho union has withdrawn its consent to a 40c scale and. insists on 421-2 and looks now like making good Its position. In this matter also the builders exchange also appears as a party dabbling and procrastinating. What this means, in reality is that an experiment is being tried out which takes a littlo time*. ■ An effort is being made to get men to come into the city under strikebreaking conditions' and contract's. Not' many have been secured, hut a few have and some of these are men whose vanity is tickled hy being permitted to sign a contract which terms them electricians; it is about the closest connection which they, have yet 1 *• made with the business. We have seen a copy of these contracts. It is the regulation v kind—one which can be made to terminate at the pleasure of the boss. Probably it was one of those-1 contract mechanics who* caused the trouble at Happyland... There was an attempt in the papers to blame the union for the fracas, biit it was a non-union expert whose ■ innocence caused the trouble. , It seems that three arc lights .were put Qn the one circuit.and the light failed. The gentleman was getting - -'His topic was some aspects of Can adian nationality, with special -reference to naval defence and Canada's relation to the empire. • Mr. Foster traced the marvellous development o£ Canda as a nation since Confederation. He pointed to the bogies, as he called thom, that Ca- ,nada hnd passed and he felt the glorious possibilities of the future. What wc should strive for was Independence as a part of great alliesv, in a world wide power. Canada's duty and privllego to take a., part in. the defence of the empire was eloquently portrayed. In closing, Mr. Foster dwelt strongly on tho foolishness of the prevalent cry against militarism. Tho bloodiest wars of the world occurred In the lust fifty yonrs. We must have a sharo ln tho militarism of tho world or be brushed aside, We must be armed or wo .will bo trampled upon. TERRIBLE COLLISION Hundreds Drowned in the Montevideo Harbor When Boats Met. * MONTEVIDEO; Aug. 27—In a driving rainstorm about six o'clock this morning the Argentine excursion steamer Calumbian and the North German Lloyd-' steamer Schlesien collided at the entrance of Montevideo harbor, « 1 i i i. The Calumbian was entering port— the Schlesien was outward bound'for Bremen. The Calumbian's" bow was crushed in and she- sank almost immediately. * . '' Between ono hundred and fifty and two hundred passengers were killed or drowned, as a result of the accident. The Calumbian carried about two lum- 1 -*- 4 dred passengers and a crew of forty eight men. , ■ ' * Most of the passengers wero asleep at the time and a panic followed the crash. Almost immediately small boats put out to the sinking steamer, but the work of rescue was rendered very dangerous by the high sea that was running. About seventy persons were taken into the boats and brought ashore. -Most of the dead are women' and children. A majority of the survivors are men and almost every'one of the crew escaped. <■ BLERIOT MAKES WORLD'S RECORD Riding* Airship in a Cyclone- Some interesting Events At Rheims Carnival. ; A pure, wliolc^ reliable Grape Cream of Tartar Baking Powdw * itoe cream of tartar osed ia Dr. Price's Baking t ■Powder is in the exact form arid composition Xjotl ' which it occurs io the luscious, healthful grape,-•>=■' Improves the flavor J and adds to ttie health- fulitess of the tiwfc.'% /To-Alum'' ■'••: - ■•■mi "r " A<L/,Vn«,' • ' TfjosphaU H V I DR.

In two minutes we'll be off;" She. saw n groom in tho road staring at tho. troopers nndcnlled to him to bring her a horse. . - This prompt obedience, by no means suited Mlstltch's book. It forced, hhn either to show, his hand or to ride off awllh Sophy, leaving the prince to his devices, and, in a little while, to his revenge, a ■ , ' ' "Imustn't hurry you.

Baron von Hollbrandt can do that later on." ■ ,__ . Mistiteh looked puzzled. Sophy smil-' ed. Her Intuition had been right The attack on her was a feint, her arrest a* blind. i The prince was'the'real object of the move. She stepped down toward Mistiteh. "I see my horse is ready. - We can start at once, captain;" she said.* . /'I'm Instructed to express to the prince regret that it should be neces-' tsary"— , ■ , ". „ ., .- "The regret will be conveyed,to him.

How would he and his escort look riding back to Slavna- with a nothing'.to show for their journey save the capture of one unresisting woman—a wo- man'whom they.dared.not harm while the prince remained free'and might become all powerful? "If he had been you'd have known it .by now, I think," smiled Sophy. " "No, the prince isn't at the castle." ■ "I'll see that for myself!" Mistiteh ■ cried, taking aLs'tep forward, With a low laugh Sophy chew, aside, passed him and ran down the causeway.' Ih an instant she darted between the ranks of Mlstltch's men and reached her-iior.se. The groom mounted hei-. Sho looked up"to Mistiteh and called to. hhn gayly: fc ' "Now for Slavna', captain! And hurry or you'll be, left behind!'! ' Her ,wlt was too quick for him. Max -von Hollbrandt Durst out,laughing. Pe- , ter Vasslp grinned. , ,. "What are you waiting for, captain?" asked Max.

"Don't bo nfrald, captain, Tnko fifty men in with you, "The garrison consists of a lndy ln bod, nn old man and live female servants,!' Sophy heard nnd laughed. Even tho troopors began to Inugh now.

They were a hundred? Yet,- had he known thctruth, he couldnot have used more haste, and lie would not have waited for another man. He stayed to tell no ii.au in Volsenl the news about his father except Lukovitch. But as his. twenty rode out of the gate behind dim he turned his head to Zorkovltch, who trotted beside hlra, for Zerkovitch neither could nor would rest -till the game was played, and said, "Tell them tbat the king is dead and. that I reign." Zerkovitch whispered the news ,to tho man next him, and It, ran along the line. ■ A low, stern cheer, hardly more than a murmured assurance'of loyalty nnd service, came from the lips of the men in sheepskins. , .''"■', . : Mlstlteh saw them' coming and turn- _ed to his~ troop. He had time for a little speech, and Stafnitz had taught him what, to say: "Men, you are sen-ants of the king and of the king'only." Not even the Prince of Slavna can command you' against tho king's' orders. The king's orders are that we take Baroness Dobrava to Slavna; no. matter who resists. If need be, these ordors stand even against the prince." ■ ' , Stafnltz's soldiers—the men he* petted, the" men who had felt the prince's stern hand—were only too glad to hear It. To strike for the king and.yet against the hated prince—<lt was- a luxury,'a happy and unlooked for harmo-, nizing of their -duty and their pleasure. Their answering cheer, was loud and fierce. It struck harsh on the ears of the advancing prince. His face grew hard anil strained as* he heard the shouts and saw the soiled body of men across the'path, barring - access to his own castle. And within a yard' or two of their ranksby the side of the road sat thb figure which he knew so well and so ,well. loved. ^, • 1 Now. Mistiteh iplayed his card, that move/in the game'.whlch Sophy's cool submission to his demand had for the '.moment, thwarted,. but "to which the .nrinceis—headlong—anger-a-and—fear—now— gave an opening, the opening which Stafnitz had from the first'foreseen. It would needVlittle to make the fiery prince forget prudence when he was face to face with Mistiteh. It was not a safe game for Mistiteh • personally—' both Stafnitz and he knew that—but Captain Hercules wns confident He would not be caught twice by the Vol-; senl trick of sword! Tho satisfaction of his revenge and the unstinted rewards thnt his colonel offered made it worth bis whilo to accept-.tbo'rlsk nnd rendered it grateful to his heart Sophy snt smiling.

"it is well known that a certain gentleman in New York along with a few others, have been sorely disappointed that T. L.'Lewis ■ever—su'ceeeded-to-lnb^-presidcnci--ofthe United Mine Workers. * It is from tins source that the alleged dissension ■ emanates. ' •■. , , * It is a romarkablo thing for-the.United Mine Workers-to have a larger paid up membership during the last month than it has had for any July month in the history ot the organization.' Consider this wllh the terrible depression that, has existed and it speaks volumes In behalf of the national officers of tho United Mine Workers of America. If would be well for tho mine workors of the country to Intelligently nn- nlyzo tne work of tho International pre- trying to create dissension In the ranks. There is work for all :.ii build up the organization, and with a united effort wonders can be accom plished in the way of strengihe'i'ng • the organization. One year ngo ,last April there,,was, lio interstate agreement and the prospects for thc mine workers of the en- tiro country- looked gloomy. , The international president at that time was not in any .manner disheartened but proceeded to re-establish the inter- ' state joint convention, and his success, at that time in securing a two years' contract is now realized to have ,been a wise act". If contracts were negotiated this year no one could predict the outcome. - - The mine, worfters, should* remember that next year wage contracts expire and„ it .will need the .intelligence of the most cxperienced'men In. tho organization to .secure agreements' that will be reasonably satisfactory to i.he members of the United ' Mine -" Workers. 7 '. Can this work best be done by men of practical experience and a_ thorough • knowledge ofthe mining "industry throughout thc country, or can it best- be done by men of limited knowledge and whoso sole desire seems to be" to * control tlie organization rather than- to defend and protect the interests of" the mino workors?—Industrial'Index.

SEPTEMBER 4 1909 AWFUL CALAMITY DO WN IN MEXICO Most Destructive Storm of Years- Overflowing River Drowns Hundreds of Peoftle MEXICO CITY, .Mex., Aug. 29—The Republic of .Mexico was swept by tho most destructive storm in recent years. Hundreds of persons lost their lives from wind and flood and property damage will run into the millions. - One1 report places the monetary loss at $13,000,000 and special despatches judicata that the death list may go above the thousand mark before very long. Thc city of Monterey, with 70,000 population was inundated by the Santa Catalina river, swollen by a deluge of rain nnd the flow of waters from the adjacent mountains. Abode homes collapsed like papor boxes before thc swollen stream and thc inhabitants were drowned like so many rats. Accompanying the flood at , Monterey came a cyclone whicli added to the havoc. • Dispatches from that place vary in their estimates of casualties and damage. One message says Unit thc dead will number one thousand. Another is more conservative, and places the list at SOO. Averaging the conflicting reports it is shown that at least 12,000 people are now homeless in thc district. „ River Still Rising The -deluge of rain still continues, and the river is rising. The flood is the greatest since 1881. The steel works and smelters have been destroyed or badly damaged. There will be no railway communication for at least a* week. The society of -the American' colony held a meting last night in which resolution were passed ' to appeal to the United States and other countries for aid. -, , Scene of Desolation , >iThe scene in the flood swept section of Monterey is one of' utter desolation. Four city blocks on tho south side have utterly disappeared. For 72 hours rain has fallen in, unprecedented volume throughout the sec- dest dramas of human life. The deluge swept families asunder, some living, some dead, at far separated intervals along the new bed which the raging river had cut for itself across that portion of the city that once was populated with homes. Many were carried down the torrent in their houses which had been uprooted from (he foundations. And these were drowned with hardly one single exception. Last evening the disaster became a spectacle, none the loss fascinating because of the terror that was in it. The people crowded in the drenching rain into the Karagosa and Hidalgo plazas which are on high ground. From there the Santa Catarina's quadrupled width looked like the seething rapids of the and starving -workingmen of ,,the country, members of the A. F. of,L., who in many instances are compelled to keep "their children from school be- II a . cause of lack of clothing and food, are contributing their funds, and that they'may have had the honor of sending abroad a pampered guest of the American -noney power. With such extravagance can it be wondered at when the rank and file must first shoulder the expense, become f dissatisfied and charge that the „ greatest benefit of the union falls to the highest office? When we reflect for, a moment,and compare the average labor leader of today with the pioneer of the early unions, who was the despised agitator ---the rabble—we can hardly get the consent of our minds to believe that the unions have the same purpose now as then. What a travesty upon the principles of the great labor movement! , As I .am writing this it occurs to me that a year ago today were laid to rest the last mortal remains of Geo. A. Pettibone, the victim of the foulest conspiracy that has ever blackened the pages of history. Pettibone, the man of unfaltering courage; who dared to face a mine owners association and a j citizens' alliance without a tremor, was branded by u.e entire pres.* of the land as the arch cievil of the Western Federation of Miners, the manufacturer of the famous Pettibone dope that, according to ll.*.- Edf confessed assassin, Harry Orchard, altered the topography of the west: Organized Niagara gorge, dotted hero and there-labor was with.Pettibone and his col- with- wrecked buildings, and sending j leagues.

At first it was thought there would be no loss of life but. the water had a height never before attained, and swept buildings from their foundations by tho score. • The electric light plant was put out of business on Friday night and the complete darkness was as much added horror." Cries of tho drowning could be heard, biit iho'onlookers wore powerless to render aid. . Indescribable Scenes Whon daylight, came tho scene was Indescribable. All through the flooded district groups could bo seen huddled nn iho top of two storey buildings, entirely surrounded by u tumultuous, soothing mass of water. Ono by ono thoso houses disappeared with their himinn freight. Nothing could llvo in tho wild current of the Santa Catarina rivor which wus running at the rate of twonty miles nn hour.

What help is it -to a preacher or a Christian worker, to listen'for some days to a man like Paul? Where were Philippi and Troas situated?

Had Paul clearly received Divine in struct ions to go to Jerusalem or was he simply gratifying his own desires? (See Acts 20: 16, 22-23.) If a devoted man has a longing to go to" a place, or, to do a thing, is it safe for .him to conclude that the longing is of God? Because there is danger involved in a journey or. an enterprise, in connection with our religion should we allow our,chivalry to bo the incentive for us to undertake' it? 7 • Is there anj,' ground for the opinion that good\men have sometimes rushed unnecessarily into a great danger? Verse 4. If Christians had to tarry in a town, should they hunt up the followers of Jesus? If these disciples were told through the Spirit that Paul should not go up to Jerusalem why did he not heed them? If there is no record that Paul had a direct call from God to go up to Jerusalem; would that, taken in connection with what these disciples said indicate that Paul was doing wrong in. going? Is there danger that good men may be led by pious impulses to do unwise things which they could be saved from if they waited to cool off, aiid to get the mind of God?

The streets -were quiet ' Soldiers occupied the corners of the ways. They looked curiously at Markart's pale face and disordered uniform. A dull roar came from the direction of St. Michael's square, and thither Markart aimed bis course. He found all one side of the square full of a dense crowd, swaying, jostling, talking. On tho other side troops were massed. In an open space In f rontof the troops, facing the crowd, was C.o 1 o n e 1 Stafnltz and by his side a little boy on a white pony. Mnrkart was too .far off to hear wbat Stafnltz said wben he began to speak—nay, the cheers of the troops behind the colonel came so sharp on his words as almost to, drown* them, and after a moment's hesitation, as it seemed to Mark- art, the crowd of people on the other Bide of the square echoed back the acclamations of the soldiers. All Countess Ellenburg's ambitions were at stake.' For Stenovics and Stafnltz lt was a matter of life itself now, so daringly had they raised their hands against King Sergius., Countess Ellenburg had indeed prayed, and now prayed* all alone In a deserted palace, but not one of the three had hesitated. At the head of a united army, in the name of a' united people, Stafnita had demanded the proclamation of young Alexis as king. For an hour Stenovics had made a show of demurring; then he bowed to the national will. Tbat night young Alexis enjoyed more honor than he had asked of Lepage the valet —he was called not prince, bnt majesty, He was king In Slavna, and the first ivoris to which they set his, childish haiid was the proclamation of a state of siege. Slavna chose him willingly or because It must at tbe bidding of tbe soldiers, but Volseni-was of another mind. They would not have the German woman's .son to reign over them. Into that faithful city the wounded king threw,himself, with all his friends. —The-body- of-M Istiteh-lay-all-day-and all night by tbe wayside. Next morning at dawn the king's grooms came back from Volseni and burled it nnder a clump of trees by Ihe side of the lane running down to Lake Talti. Their curses were tbe only words spoken over the grave, and they flattened the earth level with the ground again that none might know where tho man rested wbo bad lifted bis bund against their master. The king was carried to Volsenl sore stricken. Tbey did not know whether be-would live or die. He had a dangerous wound ln the lungs, and, to make matters worse, the surgical skill nvallablo at Volsenl was very primitive But In that regard fortune brought nld and brought also tb Sophy a strange conjecture of the uow life with tho old. Tbe landlord of the Inn sent word to Lukovitch that two foreign gentlemen had arrived at his house that after* noon and that the passport of one of them described him as a surgeon. The landlord bad told lilm how things stood, and he wan anxious to render help. It was Basil Williamson. Dunstanbury and ho. accompanied by Henry Brown,, Dunstnnhnry's servant, had reached Volsenl Unit day on thoir re* turn from n tour In tho Crimea and around the shores of the sea of Azof. P.

He had strolled a hundred yards away and just turned,to loiter back when he saw a figure come out of the guardhouse, pause a,moment and then advance slowly toward him. The sheepskin cap and tunic made him think at first that the stranger was one of the Volsenlan levy. The next moment he saw the skirt. At once he guessed that he was in the presence of Baroness Dobrava, the heroine of the piece, as he had called her in his own mind and with a smile. Evidently she meant to speak to him. He threw away his cigar and walked to meet her. As they drew near to each other he raised his hat. Sophy bowed gravely. Thus they met for the first time since Sophy washed her lettuces in the scullery at Morpinghnm nnd at the young lord's bidding fetched Lorenzo the Magnificent a bone. This meeting was, however remotely, the result of that Dunstanbury had started her career on the road which had led her to where she was. "I've seen Mr. Williamson," she said, "and he knows me now. But yon don't yet, do you, Lord Dunstanbury? And, anyhow, perhaps you*'wouldn't remember." She had been a slip of a girl.wben he first saw her, In a print frock, washing lettuces. With a smile and a depreca tory gesture he confessed his ignorance, and his surprise. "Really, I'm afraid I —I don't "I've been "such a traveler and meet so many"— An acquaintance with the Baroness. Dobrava was among the last with which he would have credited himself or perhaps, to speak his true thoughts, charged his repute tion, "Mr. Williamson knew me almost directly—the moment I reminded him of my,mark-" She touched her cheek. Dunstanbury looked more closely at |, ber, a vague recollection stirring In him. Sophy's face was "very sad, yet she smiled just a little as she added: "I „,remember you so .well—and'your dog Lorenzo. I'm Sophy Grouch of ■;Moi-pin"giram7Tiirdn'Became'XTdy^Ieg'F companion. Now do you remember?" He stepped quickly up* to her, peered Into her eyes and saw tbe red star. "Good heavens."' he said, smiling at her in an almost helpless way. "Well, that Is curious!" ^ he added. "So-, phy Grouch! And you are- Baroness Dobrava?" "There's noth- ing much ln that" said Sophy. "I'll tell you all about that soon If we have time. To* nIght I can think of nothing but monselgneur. Mr. Williamson has "Sophy Orouchl And extracted the V0" are - Baroness bullet, but I'm l)obrava'' afraid ho's very, bud, You won't tnke Mr, Williamson iiwny until—until It's Bettlcd-ono way or the other, will you?" "Neither Basil nor I will* leavo so long ns we cnu bo of tho least servlco to you," ho told her. With a sudden Impulse sho put ber hands In his.

DuiiHtiinbury thought that there wiih certainly something In having two I'-ng, llshmcn about, Ini*tend of Kriivoninns only, but such n blunt sentiment might not hu ncceplnlik'," Ho prenned her hands at* he roloiiHcd them, "1 rejoice In the chimco thnt brings us hero, Vou can have evory conllileneo In llnsll, He's ii Iirst rnto mnn, But tell mo about yourself.

"If tnoiiHelgiiour lives I think wo «hnll win, For the moment wo can do no more thnn hold Volwul. I thliil; wc can do thnt.

Lord IniniMnnmiry, and ont* Hide sin vim the people are good ma* terial. We shall be able to make It very different if monselgneur lives." "And if not?" he asked in'a low voice. "What Is it to me except for mon- seigne'ur? If he dies"— Her hands thrown wide iu a gesture of. despair ended her sentence. If she lived and worked for Kravonia it was for monseigneur's sake. Without him. what was Kravonia to her, Such was her mood. Plainly she took uo pains to conceal It from Dunstanbury. The next moment she turned to him. with a smile. "You think 1 talk strangely, saying," 'We'll do this and that!' Yes, you must and it's suddenly become-strange to'me to say it—to say it to you. because you've brought back the old things to my mind, and all this Is so out of keeping with the old things—with Sophy Grouch and Julia Robins und .Morpinghnm!' But until you came It didn't seem strange. Everything that bas happened since I came to this country seemed to leap up to it—to bring it about naturally and irresistibly. 1 forgot till just now how funny it must sound to you—and how —how bad. I suppose. Well, you must accustom yourself, to Kravonia.- It's not Essex, you know." "If the king lives?" he asked. "I shnll be with mouseigneur if he lives." she answered. * Yes, it was strange. Yet already, even now—when he had known her again for half an hour, had seen her and talked to her—gradually and insidiously it began to seem less strange, less fantastic, more natural. Dunstanbury had to give himself a mental shake to get back to Essex and to So-, phy Grouch. Volsenl set old and gray amid the hills," ihe king whose breath struggled with ,his blood for life, the beautifnl woman who would be with the king If nnd so long as he llved- these were tbe present realities he saw iu vivid immediate vision. They made the shadows of the past seem not indeed dim—they kept all their distinctness of outline in memory—but in tlieir turn fantastic and In no relation to the actual Was that the air of Kravonia working on him or was it a woman's voice, the pallid pride of a ■ woman's face? "In Slavna they call me a witch," she said.- "and toil terrible tales about this a.a little mark—my red star—but here in Volseni they like me—yes, and I can win over .slavna, too, if I get the op portunity. No, I shan't be a weakness to monselgneur if he lives." "You'll lie"- "IIIs wife?" she interrupted. "Yes." She smiled again—nay, almost laughed "Thnt seems worst of all—worse than anything else?" Dunstanbury allowed himself to smile too "Well, yes, of course that's true." he snld. "Out of Kravonia anyhow What's true in Kruvonla I really don't know yet" "I suppose it's true in Kravonia, too but whnt I tell you is monseigneur's will about me." ° He looked hard at her. "You love lilm?" he asked. ■ As my life, and more." said Sophy simply At Inst Dunstanbury ceased to look at her He laid his elbows on the bat tlements and stood there, bis eyes roaming over the lake In the valley to the mountains beyond.' Sophy left his •aide and began to walk slowly up nnd down the rugged, uneven, overgrown surface of the walls.

A DETECTIVE KILLED TWO STRIKERS •John Nicolai Shot Two Men in Fight—Was Near Lynched BUFFALO, Sept. 2—John Nicolai, a private detective employed by Lake Carriers association, shot two marine strikers dead on the west shore do'kc last evening and was only saved* from lynching by the timely arrival of tho police. Nicolai was in charge of two strlk- breakers when Geo. 1-lughton, a fireman and Matthew Dwyer, nn , oiler, both strikers who hfid been acting as pickets on the docks, held him up. "We will get you some timo," they said, applying a vile epithet to Nicolai. Then ho says they attached him and the two men with him with clubs. One of the strikers struck a strikebreaker over tho head and as he did so tho detective drew a revolver and fired twice, dropping a man at each shot, Houghton got a bullet through the eye and Dwyer was shot through, the heart*. Both of the men died almost in- stanteneously. A mob gathered with a rush and the officers who were patrolling the water front because.of the strike had their hands full before a'riot call was ■.. responded to. Nicolai was arrested and held on an open charge. All-the strikers along the docks are in an ugly mood. ; We Give Away Absolutely Free of Cost DECISION AGAINST LABOR In his decision in the Yonkers N.Y. railroad case, filed on July'30, Judge Morschauer applies the Federal rule, and refuses to authorize.the icent1 ers of the Yonkers surface railroads to employ only union men. , The court recently held conferences with the receivers of the Yonkers Hy.

PIM FLYNN WINS BOSTON, Sept, 2—Jim Flynn of Boston won the decision ovor Sailor Burko of Now York in tho final round of 32 rounds of hard fighting nt the armory tonight. Morris Quatzman, an eleven year old Windsor hoy has just died as the result of a scratch on the wrist. Poison entered tho wound, which was caused hy falling off a bicycle, and despite the physicians the boy died. Such incidents as these—by no means infrequent —ought to make people realize the danger that may lie even in the-smallest flesh wound. '* ,, Tako a simple illustration. When a dirty knife, a rusty needle, a splinter of dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a thorn, scratches the hand, the latter is inoculated with germs, of which the air about us is full. Directly these germs are introduced through the breach in the skin, a battle royal ensues between them and certain organisms in our blood." When the invading germs are too strong for Nature's defences, in a few- hours the finger will become hot and throbbing. A little later the wound may exhibit a whitish appearance in the' middle of the swelling and we have what is known as a festering or poisoned wound. Tho way to-avoid such serious results is to cleanse the wound and apply Zam-Buk. Zam-Buk is a powerful yet painless germ killer, and when applied to the broken skin is absorbed inlo tho tissue, instantly destroying the germs that spread disease and inflammation. Tho flesh is thus soothed nnd purl- fled, the wound mnde perfectly healthy and nil poison and cause of festering removed. Having dono this Zam-Buk (hen proceeds lo heal tho wound or soro wllh now healthy tissue, In_ a quick, pninloss niul perfect mnnner. Zam-Buk must not bo confused with ordinary 'ointments. Zam-Buk Is a unique preparation, possessing -intlHop-, tic, soothing and healing qualities thla are not found in any other, preparation.' It is not only a unique healing balm, but it is also a skin food. For all skin diseases and injuries—cuts, and bruises, burns, eczema, chafing, ulcers,- ringworm etc., iL is without equal. It is also used widely for piles, for which it may be regarde as a specific. AH druggists and stores cell at fifty cents a box, or post free from Zam-Buk Co., Toronto, for price.
