Shotfirer
Stanke
Fred Stanke a shotfirer at
Bolen-Darnell Mine No. 3 at
North McAlester lost his life
Saturday afternoon about 5
o'clock in room 12 of that mine.
A windy shot caused the explo-
sion and Stanke died from the
after damp and was not rescued
until about 3 o'clock Sunday
morning1.
W. T. Burgess foreman of the
mine rescue station was at once
notified and he was on the scene
at once with equipment but on
account of the condition of the
entry it was with difficulty that
a passage way was made. The
unfortunate shotfirer was found
lying on his face and it was the
opinion of those that found him
that he had died of suffocation
there being no bruises or burns
found on his body.
Fred Stanke was about 40
years of age. Ha leaves a wid-
ow and two children age 3 and 6
years. The damages to the
mine is said to have been about
$2000. It will be several weeks
before the mine is again in oper-
ation. Boosters

Next Public Printer.
President Wilson has intimated
that Jas. M. Lynch head of the
International Typographical
Union is to be named for public
printer. If he does take the place
there will be less talk in the
public printing office at Washing-
ton than ever before in its histo-
ry for Lynch is known as the
possessor of ability to keep his
mouth shut so tight that it is
considered absolutely dangerous.
He smiles and smiles and says
nothing and looks nothing when
he is on businesconcerning the
intersts of the 55000 printers in
the organization. It has been his
habit to speak when the time
came 'and to such good effect
that the International Typograph-
ical Union has grown in the four-
teen yarsof his management
from an empty treasury and
27000 members to an old-age
pension system and a full treasu-
ry to say nothing of $5000000
spent to win an eight-hour day
Labor Unit.
The Bank of Krebs have been
placing some catchy mile signs

Closing of St. Joseph School
June 3 1913. -
We take pleasure in presenting
to the readers of the Miner a
brief account of the Catholic
school of this city. The reputa-
tion of the school is household
property throughout the coun-
try. During the past quarter of a
century the pupils of this school
have annually entertained their
parents and friends neverthe
less it is only just to state that
the elaborate program now in
course of preparation cannot be
inferior to former entertain-1
ments but in some particulars I
must surpass those of other
years.
Varied as is the program which
will be presented by the differ-
ent grades composing the two-
hundred and fifty pupils in ac-
tual attendance at the school it '
nnnnnf -foil t rcmr ty nnrlinntn
spellbound throughout.
The vocal numbers are being
carefully and efficiently prepared
as is also a drama "The Coming
of Geraldine" characterized by
its high moral tone and spirited
air of refinement and chivalry
which cannot fail to win admir-
ation by the exercise of its pow-
er of persuasive and argumenta-
tive ability.
Appropriate drills adapted to
the capabilities- of- the -younger;
members will show how they are
I being trained for future honors.
I The awarding of diplomas
gold medals and premiums by
the ever zealous pastor Rev. G.
Guillaume will probably keep
the anxious recipients in sus-
pense for a short time only.
Then a glad vacation will be
welcomed by teachers and pupils.
I am tempted to make special
mention of the members of the
teaching staff but I fear to in-
fringe on the modest and retir-
ing dispositions of these highly
efficient teachers whose only
thought wjjose every impulse is
directed to your welfare and
prosperity.
A recent writer has said:
"Verily an all-seeing Provi-
dence has blessed the work of
those high-minded ladies who
have been toiling steadily per-
severeingly and patiently for
the spiritual and temporal wel-
fare of your children since the
early pioneer days when they
overcame difficulties before
which strongjnen would quail.
They have sown a mustard seed
which has shot upward and on-
ward till it has now become a
majestic tree whose branches ex-
tend to all parts of the state."

Maud's Brother Jake.
Jake Muller on a summer day
raked the meadow sweet with
hay. The mule with which he
raked the hay was muckled dun
with streaks of gray. Jake's
shirt was hickory and his pants
brown with a patch on the part
where4ie"sitsdown: Jakecuss-
ed in a way that was hard to
see for the mule went haw when
he said gee. A bumble bee's
nest in the stubble lay where
Jake and the mule raked the
prarie hay. A rake tooth ran
through that humble home and
the bees came out and began to
roam in searh of the man that
summer day who raked the mead-
ow of prairie hay. The bees
swarmed inside Muller's shirt
and quickened the mule to a live-
ly spurt. It was tough on the
mule and worse on Jake worse
still on the sulky rake for the
mule turned loose in a promis-
cuous way and scattered the rake
all over the hay.
