SUBSCRIPTION---$5.00 PER ANNUM “THEM’S OUR SENTIMENTS. The Starbuck Times says that if a town is good enough for a man to come to and make a living in, it is good enough to be spoken well about; that people who make their; living and get their wages out of the common earnings of the town, and then stand around and knock the place are rather advertising| that their brain has seeded through to the other end of their spinal cord. The sentiment is correct. The good citizen will have scant sym- pathy for the knocker. The world is large and the country is free, if any man does not like the town he lives in let him get out and the sooner he does the better for the town. A FINE SENTIMENT. We pass througn the world but once. If, therefore, there be any kindness we can show, or any good thing we can do for our fellow- being, let us do it now; let us not defer or neglect it, for we shall not pass this way again.—From the Life Wire. SEVEN MINERS KILLED. More Than a Dozen Others Injured by an Explosion. Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 14.—Seven mine workers were instantly killed and more than a dozen others were injured in an explosion in the Mount | Lookout colliery of the Temple Coal and Iron company at Wyoming, near here. The explosion occurred 600 feet un- der ground and 1,800 feet from the shaft up which the miners made their exit. John Kosmith, a miner, left a small “gas feeder” burning in the ex- treme end of a gangway all night, which set fire to the timbers and the coal. When the fire boss started into the mine to make his rounds he dis- covered the fire. A gang was set into the mine to keep the fire from spreading and while at this work the explosion occurred. All the dead and injured were brought to the surface. VICTORY FOR HUGHES. Election of Wallace to Succeed Sena-‘ tor Franchot.

GOLD TOOTH IN ASHES Officlals Search Debris in Ruins of the Gunness Home, NOW BELIEVE WOMAN DEAD Rellc Discovered in Wreckage Bears Every Evidence of Having Come From the Incinerated Skull of the Alleged Multi-Murderess. Laporte, Ind., May 1/—A gold erown tooth has been found in the debris of the Gunness home. It is be- leved to be from the head of Mrs. Bella Gunness. The tooth was found in the debris of the cellar while Sheriff Smutzer was continuing his preparations to begin the sluicing of the ashes. The relic is a hollow molar, with a gold crown, the metal being indented and to some extent encrusted by cinders. The tooth, however, bears every evi- dence of having come from the incin- erated skull of Mrs. Bella Gunness. TUnexplainable evidence, hitherto suppressed, has been made public in the Gunness tragedy. It is contained in the report of Dr. J. L. Gray, who performed the autopsy on the body which the authorities have steadfastly claimed is that of Mrs. Bella Gunness. Dr. Gray, in his report, tells of three rings which were found upon the corpse and also reveals the fact that the right hand, hitherto declared miss- ing, is still in existence. The rings, which might be expected to reveal the identity of the wearer, only add to the mystery of the case. Two of them contain inscriptions, one being “P. 8. to J. S. Aug. 22, '94,” and the other “P. G. to J. S. 3-5-95.” Mrs. Gunness’ husband was Peter Gunness, but the identity of “J. S.” and “P. 8.” is a puzzle which none of the local officials would attempt to explain. MUST BRING ALONG $1,000 Armourdale (Kan.)

You will find me competent and of a loving disposition. “I have plenty of money upon which to live. You must have plenty of money, too.
