Labor wide as the earth
Has its summit in heaven"
The great mill explosion which oc-
cured over twelve years ago. when
Minneapolis was town of about 10000
inhabitants, is fully remembered by
those who then lived here, and who
could never forget the terrible accident
and its fatal effects: but since then the
citY'S population has been multiplied by
FIVE, and the details of the calamity are
unknown to the great masses. In its
holiday number the Northwestern Miller
reviveS the story in lis details, and
prints the admirable sketch of the
scenes which accompanies this article.
Fred 4. George, at present secretary OF
the detective department of the city, is
a survivor of the great explosion, and
has written the following account for
the number of the Miller quoted:
\ SURVIVORS NARRATIVE.
"On the second day of last May,
No doubt you well remember the day"
So goes the song composed in regard
TO the terrible mill explosion which oc-
CURED on May ,, 1873, in which eighteen
men lost their lives while Ill pursuit OF
their duty.
Well do l remember this awful ca
lamity. for at this time l was engaged
in the Zenith mill, about Seventv-five
feet from the Big A. so-called. Five
minutes previous to the explosion L
went out on the canal. and Charles
Henning, a miller in the Washburn A,
threw me the evening paper. The Mer-
rill boys and others with whom | was
acquainted, were at the window, and
they all touched their caps TO me, and |
presume | was the last person who saw
them alive.
returned to the mill, and sat down
TO read the paper. John E. RoSenius,
the night miller, approached me and we
were engaged in conversation when a
fearful crash came. The stove came
tumbling down on NE, together with
empty barrels which were piled three
high in the room, leaving only narrow
walk to the door. At the same time the
mill was filled with dense flame, so
that looking through it, could only see
small light where the door should be.
THE FIRST THOUGHT
was that the mill was on fire and that
could but get on the platform over the
canal would be all right.

There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucus linz
ing of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube gets infamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
famation can be taken ont and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh. which is nothing but an in

LOCAL OPTION.
country

The Legislature Of Ohio has shown
that it is not unmindful of existing
public sentiment in regard to the
spirit Of the Dow Law. The local op-
ton feature has been extended to
townships. This is what should have
been done. The idea advanced by
some of the advocates of intemper-
ancc, that the Dow Law was thrown
out as bait to catch and please the
temperance element in the Republican
party, and that nothing more would
be done in this direction, was based
upon decidedly sandy foundation.
The giving of local option to munich
pal corporations was not magnani-
nous concession on the part Of the
statesmen at Columbus; it was simply
complying with demand. The power
that moved the statesmen to the pas
sage Of the Dow Law, was the power
that sent them to Columbus, and the
power that could keep them at home.
This influence did not propose to stop
at mere nominal temperance mea-
sure. The people want something
practical and Notwithstanding
conducive to the public good. If it is
right to invest corporations with pow
er to prohibit the Internal traffic, it is
certainly right to give townships the
same right. We are glad the Legislature
has done this, and the fact that "the
Cincinnati delegation made manly
fight against" )" only convinces us more
fully, if possible, of the righteousness
Of the measure. This action Of the
Legislature places stamp of sincerity
upon the action of the Republican
party in enacting the Dow Law. 1t
is to be hoped that the action regard
ing the increase Of the tax may not
be such as to lessen the confidence of
temperance Republicans. What, in
the name Of common honesty, could
move any man not engaged IN the
liquor business, or in some way inter-
ested in it, to object to raising the rate
of the tax to figure that would ulti-
mately shut out the crime? There is
nothing to be said in favor Of giving
aid and comfort to the curse. Yet
the people are not demanding that the
Legislature do anything unreasonable
or impracticable. The popular de-
