One Hundred and sixty Miners Killed by
AN Explosion "a Pittsburg, Kan.
A most appalling mine horror occurred at
Frontenac. mining suburb OF Pittsburg,
Kan. in which 100 men were buried 400 feet
below the surface OF the earth. A terrible
report. like discharge OF artillery. shook
every house In Pittsburg and shocked the
people into AN almost paralyzed condition
Searchers for the cause started toward the
coal mines. and met a mangled. bleeding
man. who said that No. 2 shaft at
Frontenao had been destroyed by an
explosion and that all the men In the mine
except himself and Dane we're undoubt-
edly dead. At the mouth OF the mine the
tremendous force OF the explosion was ap-
parent There were hugo seams In the
earth. and the timbers OF the hosting
apparatus were shivered and burned. and
foul gases were escaping. The men were
about to quit work for the day when the ex-
plosion occurred. 1t is believed that not
one survived the shock. as the explosion
must have destroyed everything in the pit.
Big fires were built near the mouth Of the
pit. and beside these blazing piles the
wives and mothers OF the entombed miners
placed their children. while they them
selves tried by all kinds OF entreaties to in
duce the miners from the other shafts to
enter the pit and rescue their relatives.
Rescuing parties started down the shaft.
but were forced to return back owing to the
foul air. Most OF the miners at these shafts
were originally from the mines OF Pennsyl-
vania. Pittsburg is in the center OF the
coal mines Of Southeastern Kansas. and is
about 100 miles south Of Kansas City. on
the Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad.

A convict should b. sent to prison
and hard labor not for a definite arbi-
trary term, but until he is so changed
in his habits that he is fit to take his
place in the world again. If that were
done, and society understood it, re-
leased man would not find the doors OF
employment and sympathy shut
against him as he does now, for he
would come out with certificate OF
integrity, industry and intelligence.
If he is so debased as not to be able to
be changed in his habits and practices,

tinued, then the prison is the place foi
him for life. We shall do little TO re-

INTERESTING TO PRoHIBIrIONIsrs.
Liquor Sod Upoa Rivers Is Subject to
State Laws.


State Laws.
The Supreme Court OF tho United States
has heard argument In two cases OF interest
to Prohibitionists and steamboat men. viz:
Lewis N. Clarke, plaintiff In error, vs.. The
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania Clarke who
was master of the excursion steamer May
how,r, running be ween Pittsburg and Mckees
Rocks, was convicted OF violation OF the Law
OF Tennsylvania prohibiting the sale of liquor
without license. and was sentenced to
Imprisonment Application for a writ OF habees
corpus was refused by Justices Harlan an
Bradley, Of tho Supreme Court and the
cases were then brought 10 the full Supreme
Court. 1t is claimed In behalf OF the plaintiff
in error that tho State law was not meant to
apply to steamboats, en- aged In navigation that
ths effect of tho law would be to prohibit the
sale of liquor ON boats, and not regulate IL, ss
stated by the act and that unless the law is
held to apply to steamboats, vessels with bar
rooms will be prevented from entering the
State OF Pennsylvanis. II 10 further claimed
that Congress alone has the right TO regulate
CONNIE, CO, and that the license to engage In the
coastfng trade granted the vessel by tho United
States carries with IL the right TO exchange COM
modities, including liquor, and that the State
law 10 therefore void. he Court, after hearing
argument for tho plaintiff, declined to hear
argument on behalf OF the Common wealth.
This action, It 10 believed, indicates that the
Court is prepared to de tide IN favor OF tho State
on the case as presented by counsel for Clarke.
