tices principles that are IN strict
accord with the spirit OF our consul
tuition, and which they defend to the
honor and glory of our Republic
now shining records Of our history.
The Advancement and prosperity
that has marked the past four years
of republican administration mas I'M
proved the financial condition oil
every class to an extent unprece-
dented in the history Of the nation
This under the leadership of VIM.
Mckinley, the choice Of the people
which on It's merits alone cOmnends
itself to the reimbursement OF the
people, aud the furtherance OF their
interests demands a continuance OF
the same policy. In November next
is our chance for making choice
of President for the next ensuing
four wears. and who shall it be, and
what following? Shall it be Nc
Kinley and sound money or CoXey 5
Army? The people must decide,
Whatare the chances the intelligent
workingman will take this fall, with
his experience of the eight years

The Doctor carried satchel such as
that described in which the childs
body was found. When the child
died and how must be determined
before just conclusion as to the de-
gree of crime with which the pair
are chargeable can be reached.
Those who have watched the ca
reer of DR.. Mcdonald in this city for
the past two years, and have under
stood the condition to which both he
and his wife have been brought by
the use of drugs, are not surprised
that they should get into the position
they have. Presumably they are
not guilty of actual murder, but in
their condition no young child was
safe in their hands even for a short
time. 1t could not be expected to
survive their neglect, or the treat
ment they might be expected to give
it. Their course in this case proves
their mental incapacity. Whether
to hide a great crime or to avoid the
effects of grave fault, the manner
in which they attempted to dispose
of the child's body shows them to be
idiotic.
Latest concerning the matter is
that being unable to find any evil
dence Of actual crime against them,
DR.. Mcdonald and wife were re-
leased from custody on Tuesday, and
that the Doctor would return to Min
eral Point to resume practice.

The STATE SEHAToRsHiP.

The Southwest Wisconsin, of Lin
den, has much that is pertinent and
timely 10 say auent the nomination
OF republican candidate for state
senator. Its first choice is Hon. Jo-
seph Frost, of Avoca, whose worth
and fitness it presents in good terms
and every word is truth. While The
Tribune, and we believe a majority
of the Republicans of Iowa county
| favor Hon. h. l.. Joiner rs first choice
for the position, there would be gem
eral and cordial acquiescence should
| the convention decide in favor of
| Mr. Frost.
The assumption Of Grant county to
insist upon nominating a man be.
cause he happens to reside in that
county, aud because that county has
most votes in convention, provoke
the urbane Linden Editor to say:
sour Grant County friends have
cooked up mess that they intend
we Of Iowa County shall ca.
nilly, whatever that may mean.
That is TO say they have in both
| Assembly districts Of that county
said that Capt. Burns, of Pmtteville-
is to be the republican candidate for
state senator in the district com
prised of their county and ours.
On their side they have the numer-
zeal strength requisite to nominate
| but their claim To do so is without
| justice or equity-and it behooves us
on the east side of the ith u. NJ. to
put up aprotest of sufficient strength
TO halt the looting party of the west.
We might drop into classical quo
| tatious under the circumstances after
the manner Of Jack Lane, and ask,
"Who in he'll is Burns" but that is
| hardly necessary seeing that we may
have TO vote for him or take to the
timber. Indeed speaking of timber
| reminds us that the Captain had the
| houor-rare in military annals-of
having commanded the Wisconsin
Infantry company that grubbed out
| q larger farm in Alabama during
their term of service than any other
company in the service during our
late war with Spain-dern her.
why isn't the gallant and ferocious
Captain on the firing line in the
Philippines That is the place for
a young man festooued with the po-
ctic name of Burns, and not around
Plattoville planning an assault upon
republicans of Iowa county, the
mother of Grant county,--seltish, un-
grateful child that she is.
Now, if we only knew that this
young man Burns was a relative,
even distant Que, of the immortl
author of that immortal song, "Auld
! Lang Syue;' or was united by ties
of cousnuguiuity to "Old John Burns
of Gettysburg;' or In default thereof

Mr.. Barnwell was asked as to
what the relationship between Col.
Elliott and himself was, as it had
been asserted that they we're first
cousins. He said that his grand
father, Robert Barnwell, who had
represented the Beaufort congress
Sonal district in the first congress
of the United Stares, was the brother
of the mother of Col. Elliott's grand.
father, which, he said, was the near
est connection between Col. Elliott
and himseIf. He said he did not
see what relationship had tc do in
the matter, though he was very
proud of his relationship to so hon
orable gentleman as Col. Elliott.
Mr.. Rarnwell said the fact that
in supporting Col. Elliott in former
campaigns be had been allowed
to say in his support that the Colo
mel would not run against any repre-
sentative Charleston man or any
man representing the business in
terests of the city had, as he had
stated when he first thought of be-
coming candidate, made it natural
that it should be supposed that Col.
Elliott would not oppose him, but
he still thought, as he also had
stated, that such a statement made
in former canvasses should not bind
Col. Elliott now, though it made it
perfectly consistent for those who
had supported the Colonel in former
campaigns to oppose him now.
Mr.. Barnwell said he had in no
sense proposed himself. He said
there would have been strong oppo-
sition to Col. Elliott IA tins CAM
paign, as there had been in the last.
The feeling was very strong that a
Charleston man should represent the
district, and it would have combined
on some one else If he had not con-
sented to make the race.

Charleston and not dividing it by

Mr.. HarnweIl Discusses the Race in
| This District
A reporter fos the Evening Post
called on Senator Barnwell this
morning and asked him whether he
had scent he statement of Col. Ell
| lott that he was confident of re-
election. Mr.. Barnwell said the
campaign had commenced so early
that he was afraid the people would
get tired of it before it ended, but
he supposed the newspapers had a
right to know what was going on. 1t
! was useless, he said, 20 tell the Eyen-
ing Post what the condition IN
Charleston was, for its reporters
knew as much of the city as he did.
1t could not be expe tied, said he,
that he would get all of the votes,
but many Of those who had differed
with him in former contests were
for him, and warmly for him, at the
present time. This, Mr.. Barnwell
said, was very gratifying to him
In Colleton county he believed he
would receive q majority of the votes
and he was sure he would dc so in
Berkslsy, and he said he would get
handsome vote in his boyhood
home, Beaufort, and III Williams
burg:
The County Record, Of .Kingstree,
the only paper printed in Williams
burg county, said Mr.. Barnwell, had
come out for him. The Palmetto
Post,was for him, one of only two
papers published in Beaufort, the
other paper being owned by Colonel
Elliott's son. He said he had many
friends in Georgetown, though OF
course Col. Elliott started ont with
everything favorable to him there.
In 1895, he said Georgetown polled
600 votes out of the 5000 registered
votes for the district.
Mr.. Barnwcll was asked what be
thought Of the adverse expressions
of "The State" newspaper.
lie said he announced at the be-
ginning shat the campaign was to be
conducted without personalities, and
so far as he was conce. ned he in-
/ tended to continue, that course to
the end. lie said that he was glad

TWO HUNDRED LIVES LOST
MINE EXPLOSION In UTAH
The Disaster Causes Enormous
Loss of Life-many BIacI<ened
Bodies Have Been Removed-Res-
Work Goes On.

Salt Lake, May "A special to the
Tribune from Scofeld, Utah, says:
The English language cannot de-
scribe the appalling disaster which oc-
CURED here at 1925 yesterday fore
noon by an explosion in mine No. 4
OF the Pleasant Valley Coal Company,
and by which certainly 200 men and
upward have lost their lives. At this
hour 1877 bodies have been recovered
and the work of rescue is still proceed
ing and will continue until all the bod
les are brought to the surface. There
are willing hands at work and as fast
as bodies are reached they are brought
down to the boarding houses and other
company buildings, where they are
dress !. and prepared for the coroner's
inquest. These buildings are numer-
Gus, and in each are from 10 to So
bodies.
When corpse is brought out it is
usually carried from the mouth of
either tunnel at the respective en-
frances to the places of deposit. Here
there is corps of men from four to
10 in number, with sponges, hot and
cold water in tubs and other recepta-
cles. The clothing is first removed, the
SCOT and powder burns washed from
their faces, the bodies prepared and
laid out in long robes where they are
identified by tag with name and adj
dress attached to await identification
by relatives or friends.
There were $50 men at work in the
two mines, Nos. and 4. The explo-
sion is supposed to have occurred in
No. 4 and extended by a connection to
No. 1. The men in No. 1 are choked.
Those In No. are burned and crushed.
The cause of the explosion is attrib-
uted to the blowing up of a number of
kegs of blasting powder.
The scene at the mine beggars de-
scription. The work of rescue is going
on and everything possible is being
done to relieve the suffering and ascer-
tain the number of dead. Superinten-
dent Sharp of the coal company, and
superintendent Welby of the railroad
company, have gone to the scene on a
special train.
