cyclone-Llst Of the Dead
and Injured

Associated Press Special Wire.
DUBUQUE, Ia, Sept. 8.-Edward Lat
shaw, a sub-contractor on the government
work on the Mississippi river. had 800
pounds of dynamite stored away in the
miles north of here. Today his son,
while practicing with a revolver. missed
the target, the bullet entering the cellar
and firing the dynamite. ::The house was
blown to splinters and the following per-
sons killed
Edward Latshaw and his wife.
Ray Latshsw, IL years.
Mat Latshaw, 8 years.
Hans Bjornstadt of La Crosse, Wis.
The wounded are:
Mat Faber of Wabssha, may die.
Ed Bench of Lansing, eye knocked out
and badly bruised.
Mabel Latshaw, skull fractured.
The dead are terribly mangled. A.
year-oId baby in the party escaped un-
hurt.
Glass in buildings in the hamlet was
all broken and boats on the opposite side
of the river were considerably damaged.
A special train from Dubu lus took
physicians to the scene and brought the
wounded to hospitals here.
The Gforce of the explosion tore hole
fifteen feet deep IN the solid rock, wrecked
the building above it and damaged nearly
every other building in the place. The
mother. two daughters and one son, were
found in the wrecked house. The baby
girl was lying across her mothers dead
and mutilated body crying pitsousIy for
her. Latshaw's body was found 200 yards
away. His head is partly buried in the
earth. The boy who did the shooting
was thrown over the tops of high trees,
falling to the earth a shapeless, unrecoe-
nizable mass. In Specht's hotel every
window was shattered and the building
otherwise damaged. The side of the
warehouse caved IN and small building
near it was unroofed. Bargss moored on
the opposite side OF the river were SO
much damaged by the concussion that it
is feared they may sink. The hamlet has
every appearance Of being swept by cy-
clone. The morse of the explosion was
heard at Plattsville, Wis. ten miles away.
Every boat and train that could be had
VAS busy carrying people to the scene,
and during the day thousands were there.
The wounded people In Dubuque are do
| ing will tonight.

The officers complain that many persons, of whom better things gre ex pec:ed at least, will witness street, brawl or disturbance, and then either refuse to furnish infoim m ,tion to th, officer or wllfulIy lie in order to shleld petty offenders from arrest and pun iShment. Shame on such things! There are many, of course, who lounge around disreputable quarters of the town that you cannot expect to uph'l ! the law, because they are so far given up to vice and dishonesty that their manhood seems to be completely gone, but some of tie names we have heard mentionedin this connection are indeed surprise to us, and the young men ought certainly to mend their ways.

We note from the exchanges that the law for closing sai ons in New York City has been successfully en forced. This ought to quiet the pes. simists, to some extent at least, he do not believe, or profess not to be. lieve, that righteous laws can be en. forced. Any simpleton ought to know that law cannot enforce itself, but all that Is needed is officers who will not take bIackmail and who are willing to do their duty, and it then brcomes an easy matter to make offenders sutfe, for violating law
 It could be said with as much req son that laws against gcrimes that are mala in SC could not be enforced. and that they did no good as q conse- quence, as that law of prohibitory nature merely could not be upheld But every one knows that laws against such crimes make it hazardous for those who violate them, and many per sons who do not respect the lives and property of others respect the law be- cause of its consequences. It is not so much the severity of the penalty that serves as deterrent as the cer- tainty of conviction and punishment.
 The question is probably not settled in New York City, as great force will be brought to bear on the legislature for the repeal of the law, but theaction taken will strengthen and encourage the element who favor better morals in the government of the city and the saIutary effect which the closing of the saloons will have will doubtless enlist many who are at present indifferent on the right side,

An injunction has been granted by Judge Hawkins restraining the officers of the town of Flagstaff from enforcing the ordinance which prohibits women from frequent;ng saloons. This order may be all right and the rights of nc one he interfered with to any extent, yet we woull take the view in the mater of this kind that where tht question l.. so clearly an issue between law and order on the one side and license and immortality on the other, the courts ought to throw their infu ence on the side of society aud its in. terests, and avoid all appearance of in- difference to questions of this kind The matter can be reached easily, of course, and the city tficerS do not in tend to give up the battle with law lessne,s, aud say that there is more than one way to accomplish the desired end.
