old, and employed as a miner in the first lift
of the East Buck Mountain vein. He was AZ
work when a sudden rush Of coal took place
in the breast aud pinned him against the rib
| OF the chute. The unfortunate man was
completely surrounded by the rushing coal
and the men working near the place at
tracted by the noise Of the unusual rush were
unable to reach him.
1t was one o'clock 10 the afternoon when
the accident happened a time when large
numbers Of men are at work in the mine, So

make the ent0mbed man hear them. In an
swer to their inquiries Lescavage said he was
badly hurt, one ofhis arms being almost cut
off.
The rescuing party went at their work
with renewed vgor, but at about fl We o'clock.
The event most dreaded occurred There was
a second rush Of coal and that sealed the fate
OF the entombed man. Repeated efforts to
get replies from him convinced those who
had attempted to take him out alive that it
was only question Of how soon they would
recover dead body This was accomplished
at two o'clock this morning. The remains

SENATORIAL SITUATION.
ICharlas lIfy Press


A recent canvass made locally by TIE
Press regarding the choice betwt N
Cummins and Gear for United States
senator develops an unexpected
strength for the former. In fact there
Iare few active politicians in this city for
Gear while fifty or more workers could
be named for Mr. Cummins. Reports
from Rockford and Nora Springs say
Cummins delegations will be brought
from their precincts. In fact the pre-
diction of the Press some weeks ago is
becoming more and more evident daily.
The main objection To Mr.. Gear Is his
age. A certain young republican of this
city who went to the convention al Des
Moines recently had complete change
of heart upon noting Mr. Gears intirm-
ity and renouncing his support of Gear
came home well impressed with MIR.

far as this city is concerned is trivial
compared to the strength for him.

NOT A ONE MAN AFFAIR.

NICK inley's war on the F'ilipinos' is
a phrase much affected by many anti
expansion contemporaries, which the
Washington Post takes up to correct.
It recalls little history by asserting
that ut is simple justice to President
Mckinley to recall the fact that, If he
could have had his way, there would
have been no war last year or this year;
no war with Spain in 1898 leading up
to the Philippine trouble of 1899. Had
the pressure for war not been increased
beyond his or any other mans power
of resistance by the tragedy in Havana
harbor on February Is, 1898, there is
every reason to believe that peace
would have been preserved; that Spain
would have let go her hold on Cuba,
thus relieving the 'intolerable situa-
ton that constituted the casus belli.

along in its article the Post declares
Had all that has happened in the Phil

apprehended, the negotiations of Paris
might, and we believe would, have been
concluded without the transfer to us of
the sovereignty of the Philippines. But
it were folly to speculate on what might
have been. Our business as nation is
with what has and what is. By treaty,
by the action, not of the president alone,
but by the concurrent action of two
thirds of the senate, we took the sover-
eighty of the islands. We took 1t in
good faith and with the kindliest mo-
tives and intentions toward all the in
habitants. But while we We're hoping

our lawful authority; that was insur-

to suppress it, The president would

irretrievably disgraced if we had evac-
uated Luzon instead of taking measures
to establish our authority there and
throughout the archipelago.
A generation ago we had great war
in the United States, ana there were
many thousands of citizens on the
Union side of the line whose sympathies
We're on the other side. They called
that mighty upheaval 'Lincoln's war;
1t was a false and mean phrase, in

There is not much similarity between
that conflict among brethren and this
suppression of Tagal Insurgents. but
they are precisely alike in the fact that
no president or cabinet was RESPONSE
Bile for either of them. This is no more
NIckinley's war than that was Lincoln S

The bitter speech made by II. NJ. Re-
box at the democratic county conven-
ton in Tama county, is reasonable
proof to the Clinton Herald that Gov
ernor Shaw made no mistake when he
refused to appoint him q member Of
the state board Of CONTROL
The Sioux Tribune (dem.) believes
the weakest argument ainst expan-
sion is made by the man who contends
that we have no right at all to keep
the Philippines. That is Cookers con-
tention, and 1t Is made in the face of
the fact that our right in the premises
is undoubted. Those who concede that
we have the right, but doubt il we
should exercise it, make much better
argument, but even they fail to con-
vince the logical and we'll informed ex-
pansionist.
"A party that couldn't be united UNI
der all the circumstances has no excuse
for existing" says the Davenport DEM
ocrat, referring to the republican party.
The laundering Of the democrats, both
national and state, for the past three
years has been 80 absolutely wretched
that thousands of the followers of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Cleveland have
simply been driven anywhere to exer-
else the right of suffrage"
The Sioux City Journal declares that
1.-THE eastern ffnanciers who have been
worrying a little about how the west is
year with money a little tight on Wall
street are reminded that the westerners
may take notion to look after the
whole business themselves. And, by
lingo, If they do they've got the crops,
they've got the cars and they've got
the money, too"
"a little reflection ought to assure
anyone says the Muscatine Journal,
that there is no danger of imperialism
or of a despotism in the United States.
A free and intelligent people have 1T in
their power to prevent anything of this
kind if it should be attempted. which is
altogether unlikely The demagogues
who are talking about it are in the
DOGGY business and it is no compliment
TO the intelligence or good sense of any
who listen with patience or any degree
of acceptance to such talk. If the
democratic party of Iowa has no bet

about imperialism they had better

Now an ugly house and slovenly
grounds are the exception.

now little beauty, threaded with
good walks. adorned with we'll kept
grass, fountain, iron fence, seats etc.
pleasant place to look at and rest in;
no weigh houses at the corners, squat
ting like toads in dirt and refuse.
Thirty years ago we did not have a
pretty church in town, slightly court
house. a decent school house; not a
road scraper, or street sprinkler. or a
parked lawn in town: not bath room.
lake, single pretty drive, hardly a
fine carriage or buggy, not roomy,
pretty veranda; not private or public
building furnace in town; house plants
froze every winter, and husbands grew
round shouldered toting out dead flow

Thirty years ago we hadn't an opera
house, or decent hall; nor a thorough

and how couples could get married
