When you come to size up the ad-
vsntages Of saloons, remember that in
twelve years the tax levy of the city
for taking care of the poor was 4.6
mills; that is, it was 3 3 mills for the
FIVE years we had saloons, and only 3
mills for the seven dry years. For
three years while We had no saloons,
there was no poor tax levied.

The Adjutants-General called on Pres
dent Roosevelt, Secretary Root and Gen
.ral Miles. Secretary Root improved
'hc opportunity to express his hearty
iympathy with the movement in which
hey are engaged.

The officers of the convention on the good
temper, spirit and interest with which
they have taken up the subject of i'm
proving the militia system and on the

To Control Trusts.

The Industrial Commission, after sew
eral years spent in investigating the in
dustrial condition of the country, with
the view of making recommendations
calculated to assist in the solution of the
problems of the times has completed
and sent to the printer its final report.
On the subject of trusts the commits
sion follows closely the lines OF recon-
mendations laid down by the President
in his annual message Supervision by
the National Government is recommend
ed. The most radical specific step sug-
gested in that direction by their report
is that The books of all corporations
should be subject at all times to inspec-
ton, as are the books of national banks.
This, it is claimed, would go far toward
protecting the public against impositions
in the way Of overcaptalization and
other devices. The commission dis
cusses government ownership OF rail
roads and telegraph lines, but does not
recommend such a. departure from p:es-
ent methods.

Men Were In the Mine.
WORK OF RESCUE DELAYED BY FIRE
Twenty.nine Men In the East Entry Of Lost
Greek Mine When the Disaster Occurred,
Eight Of Whom We're Still Alive When the
Reseuing Party Reached the Scene--Men In
Other Parts Of the Mine Escaped.

Oskaloosa, Iowa, (Special) AS the
result of terrible mine disaster at Lost
Creek, near Oskaloosa, 7r dead are in an
improvised morgue and injured men
are in a temporary hospital.
The disaster occurred at noon and was
what is known as a dust explosion. -
The miners had just fred their noon
blasts. Burning powder ignited the gas
and the explosion followed
Smoke and deoris were blown out of
the shaft 200 feet high
Part of the top works was torn away
and the fans and cages we're partially
wrecked. This made the work of rescue
slow, and it was 3 o'clock before volun-
teer parties dared to venture into the
east entrance, where the explosion oc-
Cured.
When the rescuers fought their way in
a fearful sight greeted them The dead
and injured were terribly burned and
mutilated, some Of them almost beyond
recognition.
Fire. which il was at first feared would
prove destructive to the entire mine had
broken out, and this added terror to the
spectacle The frames were finally con-
trolled, and after several of the rescue
party had succumbcd to the fumes all the
dead were found and carried to the top
of the shaft
At the time of the explosion more than
100 men we're in the mine, but all except
those in the cast entry escaped with only
slight injury. II was nearly dark when
the last of the dead was taken out, and
the scenes of anguish among the families
of the men were many Nearly all of the
men were married and leave families in
poor circumstances.
The mine is owned by the Lost Creek
Fuel Company, of this city, and has been
in operation about one year. The prop
erty loss is about $4,000.
