Accident BY Fire Damp IN the Golden
Summit Nina

On Tuesday. evening last James Me.
CURE and j. B. NcQuillan were brought
70 town from the Golden Summit mine
suffering terribly from the effects Of fire
damp. They were taken to a room ut
the Kleemann House and medical aid
Immediately summoned. Mr.. McGuire's
Brother Dennis, who was working four
or five miles below town was sent for
and arrived during the early part OF the
night.
On their arrival here Mr.. McQnillan
seemed to be the worst effected and
both men seemed confident Of m early
recovery. During the night Mr.. Nc.
Guire grew worse and the following
morning became unconscious. 1t was
clear to DIR. Flick from the first that his
lungs were entirely ~congestcd and little
or no hopes for his recovery were en-
tcrtained. He continued in great pain
and suffering, never regaining conscious
ness, until Thursday night at 1910
O'Clock when he expired. Mr.. Nc
Quillan seemed to have but one lung
effected and that was almost completely
~congested. His condition though, was
precarious until Wednesday morning
when he began to gam and continued
gaining until he is now out Of danger.
The circumstances of the sad accident
as received from Mr.. McQuilland arc as
follows: The two men were sent to the
bottom Of the shaft, which was $50 feet
deep, to fix the pump which had gotten
out of order. In order to do this il was
necessary to shoot away some Of the
rock, two shots were subsequently put
off the smoke from which refusing TO be
raised through the air pipe which was
twenty feet above them. The men soon
realized that the smoke was not being
carried out bnt was forcing the pure air
away from them and leaving nothing
but foul air and powder smoke for them
to breathe. They continued working
removing the rock from around the pipe
for two hours when they climbed the
ladder to the top. They Immediately
went to their o and went to bed
feeling considerably the bad effects of
the foul air but little realizing the bad
condition they were in. At IL o'clock
noon on Tuesday, after having lain for
10 hours, they started in a spring wagon
for Custer.
From Mr.. McQuillan's report no blame
can be attached to the Summit folks for
the accident. Mr.. McQuillan is unmar-
ried and about As or SO years of age.

A Letter from Belleview.

With me the event of this week is
visit to Rev'd E. Fl. White, near Cal
edonia. He owns about five hundred
acres of land, watered by Reeds creel
and Cedar creek. His buildings ar,
good, and are in singularly pictur
esque location. and have beautiful sur
roundings, indicating a well educated
broad taste. The proprietor has taken
a new departure for this country. In.
stead of wasting bis timber and strain.
ing somebody's back making from
three to five thousand rails per annum,
he picks the rocks off his land, and
out of the channels of the creeks, and,
having set his posts, builds on their
line wall about two feet high, and
puts wire above that, and so makes a
very substantial fence. And, their
channels being Strengthened and deep
ened, the streams do not overflow their
banks i'm flood. This is great ad-
vantage. Mr.. White has this year
about one hundred acres In corn. He
has d well defined hatred of Canada
thisdes, in which he differs from some
of hii neighbors, who, being veryrelig-
ious In their way, remember that our
genelal great grandfather Adam was
told bat the earth should bring forth
thorrs and thistles, and they seem to
be af fiaid of flying in the face of Provi-
dencs by extirpating them.
Thu statute of Missouri 10 very strin-
gent ind infiicts heavy penalty on
any ope who permits Canada thistles
to grow on his land.
Butthe visit to Rev'd White was
carefully timed. The Belleview Col
legiatl Institute was giving its annual
blow put this week. Mr. Whites
house was crowded with visitors. so
that tfe ERE was not only an opportunity
to see his excellent family, but their

Only a brakeman. the editors write;
Only brakeman stwas late i'm the NIGHT
He was doing his duty-the train broke in

When down to his death the brakeman fell

Only brakeman. but the pride OF some

Only brakeman! but in some busy mart
Are eyes that are weeping and homes that are
hushed,
Because poor brakeman was yesterday

Only brakeman. but some mothers JOY,
For whom there's no muffie of the coarse iron

That grinds on her heart as on the grooved

A Better Convention.

Again will fair Chicago's shore
A mighty gathering see,
When there shall meet in hall and street
The spokesmen of the free,
Who utter still the peoples will,
Recording their decree.
In dark corruption'ssdevious ways
They win not wish to grope,
Nor will they need, to back their creed,
The magic power of "soap;"
But they win voice an honest choice,
And name the peoples hope.
No votes will there be bought and sold
Upon the Elkins plan,
Nor will they name, to mark their shame,
A variegated man;
But all their talk and daily walk
The world may closely scan.
Though not intrenched in place and power,
For strength they will not lack;
They know that they will have that day
The masses at their back,
Who push them on, the course to run,
And make the rascals pack.
The duty they will need to do
Is mighty and Sublime
To punish yet, andnot too late,
A foul and hideous crime,
And prove that trl1th, with endless youth,
Dies not through lapse Of time.
Then may their hesds he clear and cool,
- wfzse ali their hearts are warm;
And when they fight for truth and right
And genuine reform,
Their nominees will start breeze
That soon will be q storm!

Prohibitory liquor laws are indis

am confident more can be done by Law
i'm twelve months than has been done
in a quarter of century, and by a
simple change of tactics. What the
law can do, and which would prove
most effective. would be supported by
all classes of the community. The
present aims and methods win the
hearty support of only very small
minority.
The most potent agency to-day in
the cause of temperance is the Wom-

Union. This immense organization,
covering our whole country, and con-
tanning a countless army of the best

candidly to my reasons for believing
that prohibition, with its present aims
and methods, is the deadliest enemy to
our divine cause.

A vice is never q crime; because. in

both cases the victim seeks happiness,
but he is mistaken. He is the slave Of
appetite. but he hescommits no crime, be-
cause he is not moved by q criminal

can be crime. unless inspired by a
criminal purpose. Setting theatre

it may be followed by the horrible death
