AN ERA OF FALSE PROPHETS.
A "True Christ" Raises a Small Rebellion
in Mexico.

Ell PAso, Tex, May 12.-According to
information received here remarkable
condition of affairs has existed in the Mex
lean village of Tomachic, in southwest
Chihuahua, 200 miles from the city of Chi
huahua. For several months the village
has been in open rebellion against the gov
eminent The trouble was caused by the
appearance in the village some time ago
of an old man who proclaimed himself as
the true Christ. He impressed himself so
thoroughly upon the supplemented vii
layers that they abandoned their work to
follow the alleged Christ.
The Brethren Licked the Troops.
Troops were sent by the government to
the village with orders to stop the meet
ings of the followers of the man The
people. however, exhorted by their leader,
attacked the soldiers and drove them to
the mountains, several being killed in the
fight. A detachment of cavalry and in
fantry have been sent to the place under
orders to attack it on all sides, capture
the alleged Christ and clean his followers
out. They are said to be nearly starved,
but stoutly believe in the man.

RosLYN, Wash, May 12.-Early yester-
day morning 700 miners were at work
searching for the men killed by the terri
BILE mine explosion of Tuesday. There is
no hope that any of the men who were in
the mine at the time OF the accident are
alive. The number Of victims is now said
to be forty-six. At noon fifteen bodies had
been recovered. The names are: John Boone,
G. Pollard, Thomas Ross, Sr., William
Hogue, Ben Ostiff, Pruss Luving, Robert
W. Spratt, Frank Hanna, Harry Camp
bell, David Ross. Jr., Thomas Braman,
Thomas Holmes, George Moses, John
Mattles, Joseph Lewis.
Scenes About the Plymouth.
The scenes around the plymouth yester-
day were heartrending. Widows and
orphans Of entombed miners crowded
about the entrace to the mine and waited
tearfully for any news from the relief
parties that were searching in the three
lower levels, where the full force of the ex-
plosion was felt. One of the pitiable sights
that brought tears to the eyes of all who
saw it was the sight of two little children,
hand in hand, eagerly looking for their
father. The calamity is crushing to the
families of the dead men, as all were pow

for many months past. The Northern
Pacific company has ordered that all i'm
mediate wants of the bereaved families be
promptly supplied.
Workers Make Slow Progress.
The relief parties made slow progress, as
they were forced to build bulkheads of
canvas and lumber to get fresh air to the
front. The sixth and seventh levels have
not been reached. In them it is expected
all the remaining bodies will be found. 1t
may take another forty-eight hours before
the lowest level is reached Various ru-
mors as to the cause of the explosion are
rife, but it is probable that the true nature
OF the disaster and the circumstances that
led to it will never be known, since no
one was left to tell the story. The most
reasonable conclusion is that the working
miners Unexpectedly encountered a strong
gas feeder.
No Gas in the Mine at Noon.
Tuesday morning the day of the explo-
sion, gas was reported in the sixth west
entry and sixth east manway. All these
gases were removed by Fireman John
Shaw and the men We're put to work.
They labored from a. m. until the explo-
sion occurred, working with naked lamps.
At noon the mine was reported free from
gas, hence the theory generally accepted
is that the explosion resulted from sud
den outburt of gas from one Of the entries.

The only persons employed in the mine
who escaped are Walter Steele and Frank
Hodgins, two boys. The latter attends the
cars going up and down and the former
was the trapper, who attended the trap
doors, opening and shutting them as they
passed. As Hodgins passed Steele the
latter was taken with an impulse to go to
the surface and steal piece of pie from
bucket he had seen, and mounted the car
with Hodgins Just as the boys reached

Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-04-29

A COMMUNICATION appears in another
column in which the writer favors the
appointment of a city scaler of weights
and measures. The writer is probably
not aware of the fact that the city, or
rather county, is already provided with
such an officer. The sheriff, by section
2421 compiled laws, is made ex-oficio
scaler of weights and measures. All he
requires is certain resolutions and in
structions from the county commission
ers, and the TRIBUNE is not certain, but
that he is already armed with all neces-
sary authority. If so, it becomes his
duty in the month of July, in each year,
to test all scales, weights and measures,
and issue. certificates of correctness or
condemnation" as the case may be.
For this service he is authorized to COL
lect fifty cents for each scale tested. It
is the duty of the county commissioners
to prescribe, by resolution, what kinds
and quantities of goods, wares, merchan-
disc, grain, live stock and produce may
be sold or exchanged with or without the
use of the standard weights and mea-
sures and tested scales. This is an i'm
portant matter and it IS hoped the
agitation OF the question will result in
the duty being performed hereafter.

The most remarkable financial meas
ure ever proposed has been introduced
in congress by Senator Kyle. Even so
visionary a statesman as Kyle couldn't
father it, SO it was introduced by re-
quest. 1t is a bill providing for the
establishment of a composite dollar"
The chief clause of the bill enacted that
the composite dollar" should be estab-
lished in the following manner desig-
mated so much of wheat, rye, oats, corn,
barley, beans, potatoes, cotton, wool,
butter, eggs, flour, sugar, lard, pork,
beef, tobacco, salt, leather, hemp,
cement, cotton seed, brick, lead, pig
iron, coal, copper as shall be convenient
ly near to 81 worth of each in the New
York market so arranging quantities
that the sum total of value of the thirty
articles shall be $50, that one-thirtieth
part of the sum total of the articles
designated shall be termed one ''com-
posite dollar" of the United States.
Further provisions enact that an accu-
rate monthly Average record shall be
kept of the daily pr.ce of these articles,
and that it should be lawful for any
person or incorporation to engage TO re-
ceive or deliver composite dollars based
on this security.

PROF. LEWIS M. HAUPT, director of
the civil engineering courses at the uni
versity of Pennsylvania, say that a good
average road, through a rolling country,
should never cost over $1,000 per mile,
and frequently not over $4,000. And
the expenditure pays. To pull one ton
on macadam costs just one-half as much
as on hard dirt, and one-fourth as much
as on sand. 1t is estimated that in Eng
land improved roads have made it posi-
BILE for three horses to do the work for
merly done by four, thus saving $780,
100000 annually. It is also stated that
with improved roads, the farm produce
of Illinois could be hauled for $15,O00,-
600 per annum less than now, and that
$160,0O0,O00 would be added to the value
of the farms.

YEARS ago the COMMITTEE of five" was
the most popular piece of political ma
chinery in Burleigh county. The "new
gang" came in and kicked very vigorous
ly at this "old gang practice and the
"old gang" switched-gave up the prac.
tice, inaugurated the "voting by ballot
system" in ~electing delegates to county
or city conventions and adopted other
reforms. Now the "new gang
with everything their own way-Lo op-
position and adopts the old committee
of tive'' rule-that relic of so-called
"henious old-gangism." County dele.
gates, who have always kicked SO
vigorously about city "slate'' work-with
the record of Saturdays convention be-
fore them-will be apt to conclude that
there is not much contrast between the
'old gang and the "new gang" after
~all-except, possibly, it may be admitted
that the "old gang made less preten-
tions to righteousness.
