nell mine all night resulting In the find
Ing OF five more bodies, making twen-
~ victims Of the explosion. The bodies
were so mutilated they have not been

The work Of removing the mass Of
wreckage In the mine began today, and
a careful search was made for more
bodies, although the eompanys officials
feel confident that all the men have
been accounted for,
They thought. however only thirty
six men were In the mine, but thirty
seven have been accounted for.
The work Of cleaning the mine TO
get IL ready 10 resume work VIII take
three weeks or a month. The pumps
are working all right and the water Is
fast being pumped out and the fans
are forcing plenty of fresh air into the
mine.
Inspectors Blick and Loutitt today
began a thorough investigation OF the
cause OF the accident, and the result
will be submitted TO the coroner. Thlr-
teen victims OF the explosion were

The city council has been giving the
railroad ordinances good deal of at
tention this week. They have inspect
ed the ground carefully and are about
ready to take definite action. The
council will hold an informal and secret
meeting on Monday afternoon and an
open one Monday night. The differ
ences between the companies and the
city are nearly adjusted. In relation
to the streets in the extreme western
part of town it is probable that the
Central will agree to have one street
left open in order to give access to lots
still west of their tracks. In the north
western part of town, the council asks
that street be opened through the
center of block Is so that the street NAV
cross the tracks exactly at the railroad
crossing and thus avoid going over
several tracks. The railroads have not
been able to see the necessity Of this
request and this is where the dispute is
apt is arise On Monday night. Several
of the new roads will
he on hand to explain their requests.
We would again urge upon both sides
the spirit of friendliness necessary and
we trust that nothing will arise which
will jeopardizs the interests Of either
the railroads Or the city.

BADLY STAGE STRUCK.
Sol. Smith Russell Loses Valuable Come
dian Through the layor's Intervention.

dian Through the Hayor's Intervention,
The mayors court was the scene of
an incident this afternoon which would
have been very humorous had it not
been so very pathetic. Young Albert
Anderton was brought before Mayor
.Kemming charged with disturbing the
peace, driving his father and mother
out of the house, smashing the dishes
and general misconduct. The cause OF
the disturbance was that MIR. Anderton
refused TO give the boy monty to go to
Omaha to join the Sol Smith Russell
company. It seems that Altert is
thoroughly convinced that he is ii great
comedian. He has been advei Using in
New York dramatic papers for a posi-
ton as II star, and it is not certain but
that he expected Sol Smith TO resign
the leading role in his favor after he
had seen the evidences of his genius.
Learning that Russell was to play in
Omaha tonight Albert asked his father
for money enough so that he might go
down and join the company. Upon be-
ing refused he became violent, threw
the dishes about and drove his parents
from the house. Mr. Anderton COM
planned to the mayor and Marsha !
Royce arrested the boy. When he was
brought to trial this afternoon he took
out piece of paper and began reading
in loud voice with supposed dramatic
effect. When the mayor asked what he
was doing that for, he replied that he
wished to show his honor what a fine
voice he had. Before the trial could
proceed he gave an exhibition of the
heel and toe clog dance and also sang a
J number OF comic songs.
lie admitted having struck his father
and said unless his fare Was paid to
Omaha he would not support his father
when he got ST 600 per week as a come
dian. 1t is evident that his mind is
affected and he was placed in the coun-
E ty jail pending examination ubefore the
lunacy commission. Young Anderton
5 is about twenty years old and though
i quite genius in some ways. has never
, taken hold of the business of life in q
= serious way. 1t is believed that this
E arrangement is but temporary and that
with proper treatment he will soon be

: pathize with his family in this affection

They Want To Let Go.

The democratic state central com.
mittee met in Des Moines yesterday
and discussed the question which is
now agitating every democratic council
board shall we let free silver drops
The very fact that this question is
brought up for discussion by the party
leaders is proof of the weakness of their
position and Of the inordinate desire of
that party to catch votes at any price.
Should the party decide to leave out all
mention of l6 to we suppose our con-
temporary would justify it as zone of
the eXpedlents necessary in off years."
| If free silver were growing, living
cause there would be no talk of Its
abandonment. But it is not, it is going
the way of greenbackism and know
nothingism, and all the other absurd
''isms" which from time to time dis
turb the American people. Free silver
was night mare; the people had eaten
too freely of the mince pie of Harrison.
iau prosperity, and the free silver night
mare came as a result of an overloaded
stomach. 1t was a case of national
deljrium tremens caused by too f1e-
quent libations to the Goddess OF Hope
and Prosperity.
The people are getting over it now,
and many can hardly believe that they
ever placed reliance in such stuff and
nonsense.
The nation finds itself today well and
in good order. Like the tabled hero
every time it touches the earth il
Isplings up with new vigor and strength
and lie. Hard times teach lessons O
economy and cautiousness which, while
distressing to the individual, are Otter
} for the nations welfare. The rich
! warm blood of confidence and hope i
now tingling in every vein of tn
nation. The nerves are strong, the ey
, is firm and clear, and this is why dem
, ocracy talks of abandoning free silver
y the people have so few aches and pain
1 that they do not care for any free si
yer specific.
We do not doubt but that democrac
, will hang onto the forlorn silver hope
D So many of their leaders have no othe
= stock in trade that the abandonment {
the issue would mean their polite;
4 death, but the very fact that some, {
4 their leaders are urging that the que
, ton be dropped Is matter of deep si
D nificance. For our part we wish the
g would let the dear, old corpse renal
4 unhonored and unsung; not that it
= formidable. but that it is wrong and v
> hate to see any portion of our Peep
fooled thereby.

A very enterprising and engaging

A very enterprising and engaging
gentleman called on us this week wish
ing US to buy a lot of calendar receipt
books containing about half receipts and
half advertisements for his patent
medicine nostrum. We were to pay
for these Advertising books in news
paper advertising and then distribute
the phamplsts for them. We noticed
that nearly everything from lumbago
to hams could be cured by taking this
valuable remedy, but we concluded it
was pretty much jug handle deal.
The drug stores have plentiful supply
OF similar books which they are glad to
dispose OF free. We pity the publisher
who is so green as to be caught by such
a scheme.

For week the report has been cur
rent that in event that the next coun-
Gil was democratic. Mayor Kemming
would resign and MIR. Ivens be elected
to fill the vacancy. Mr.. kemming
denies the truth of the report and states
that he is going to complete his term as
mayor. 1t seems there is some opposi-
ton to the denomination of MIR. Ivens
and it is SAID that it was sought to ap.
pease the opposition by promise that
III KemmiDg resigned and Ivens was
elected the opposing faction could
dictate the appointment of Ivens sue
cessor on the council. The whole re.
port seems rather far-fetched and we
doubt even were 1t true that any one
could be gulled by such a fifteenth
cousin sort of proposition.
