WISCONSIN ELECTION.
Republicans Garry the Milwau'
kee City Ticket.
Party Lines We're Not Closely Drawn in
the Interior Of the State.

Milwaukee, Wis, April S.-For the
third successive time the Republicans
elected their candidate for mayor, and
with him all the other nominees on the
rity ticket. They elected a majority of
the aldermen and supervisors, maintain
ing control of both bodies by decisive
majority, although they lack two votes
TO control the council by a two-third vote.
The total vote cast was 42,S40, divided
as follows:
Rauschenberger, Rep. ............l1 ,9lI
MaXon, Dem. ............. .19,5i /!
Pfucer. Soc. 43O
Plurality for Rauschenberger, 2,54O.
Rauschenberger ran behind his ticket
considera bly,, Fiebrantz (Rep) for comp
troIier getting 1929 plurality and Mil
erath (Rep) for treasurer 1850 plurality.
The new common council will begin to
do business on the third Tuesday of the
month, with 26 Republican members
and 10 Democrats. The translation of

idency will go to Aid. Henry j. Baum
gaertner of the Tenth ward, who has
occupied the position acceptably before,
for three terms. Others have been men
toned, however, in anticipation of Re
9UbtISdu NICtOIy, dHOHS lHeiH AIu Sle-
vens and Starkweather, both the latter
representatives of the Sixteenth ward.
The vote for aldermen as compared
with the city tickets shows surprising
and apparently inconsistent results. For
instance, the Democratic city ticket car
Eied the Fourth comfortably, but two
Republicans were elected to the council
from that ward The Democrats car
ried the Eighteenth ward by $50, but
the Democratic nominees for aldermen
received the closest call Democrats have
ever had in that ward, while the Re
publican nominee for supervisor pulled
through. Both aldermen from the Sixth
ward are Republican, but the supervisor
Is Democrat. Great interest was man
Efested in the Eleventh ward. Rudolph
(Rep.l, who had engendered much opposi-
ton because of his policy during the
smallpox epidemic, was returned to the
council by. the bare majority of 81 as

With better understanding of the

forts-gentIe efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed, There is comfort In
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis

ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-

chase, that you have the genuine arti-

fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists

and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slIillfu

one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup OF
Figs stands highest and is most largely

TIE TIMBERS WERE WEAK
The Work of Repair Was Too Long
Delayed
Nine Miners Are Caught 10 a Cave-in-LittIe
Hope Is Entertained OF
Their Rescue

VICTOR, COL, Jan. "A terrible acci-
dent occurred about noon today at the
Anna Lee mine of the Portland company
on Battle mountain. Nine men have been
caught in q big CAVERN and are in all
probability dead. The names of the
miners working in the Lee shaft are:
Superintendent W. e. Loane, Assistant
Superintendent Thomas A. Sheldon, Jim
Hancock, Pat Nee, Jake Mallory. Joe
Dinsmore, Mike Mcclure, Thomas Herman
and another, name unknown.
Loane, Sheldon and Herman we're going
down in the cage, when cavern occurred.
They were in the cage between the third
and fourth levels when the shaft pitched.
1t is possible that they have been thrown
into one of the dtifts and are safe, but no
tidings can be had from them. A rescuing
! party went into shaft of an adjoining
mine, which was connected with the Anna
Lee, but found the connecting tunnel filled
| with dirt. rocks and broken timbers. 1t is
expected that many hours and perhaps
days will be required to reach the en-
| tombed miners, and meantime the rescu-
| ing party is in Inomentary danger of being
caIik hit in a second slide The CAVERN be-
gan thirty-five feet from the top of the
| shaft. and the debris has filled a great
part of the shaft. The Anna Lee is about
900 feet deep. A great amount of work
will therefore be required, not only to clear
the shaft in order to made a passageway
to the levels, but also to make way into
the stations and then to the slopes which
are also included in the cavern.
The cause of the disaster cannot be def
nitely stated, but it is known that the tim
bers were insufficient to bear the great
weight, bo!h lateral and perpendicular, to
which they have been subjected. About
two weeks ago The shaft on the Lee shrank
to such an extent near one of the stations
near the middle of the shaft that the cage,
upon which there were three men at The
time. would not pass down, The eugiueer
reversed and brought the men back.
This was the first indication that the
workings were closing in and efforts were
made to remedy the trouble.
The victims of today's disaster were at
work replacing the old timberiug.

the flank of their main portion, and have
