AGES DOOMED
MAN IN A
TRICE
HIDEOUs AGONY is DEPICTED ON
A DEAD MINERS FACE-UNFOR-
TUNATELY IGNITES FUSE OF
BLAST AND FINDS NO ESCAPE.

WINNEMUCCA, New, Sept. 3d.
Ross S. Briggs, employed in the Search
light mine in Lincoln County, met
death so horrible on Saturday that the
hideous agony he suffered during the
few seconds while he awaited his doom
scanned and wrinkled his features as
though old age had come upon him in
a moment. Imprisoned at the bottom
of d deep shaft but a few feet in dia-
meter, with a lighted fuse attached to
a heavy charge of dynamite beside
him, he was helpless in the face of inn
pending disaster. After the blast had
exploded and the burden of debris had
been lifted, his lifeless, shattered body
was found crouching in one corner of
the hole, it's face set in an expression
of terror and protected by an appraised
arm, and the finger-nails imbedded in
the palms of the hands.
Briggs was an old employee of the
mine. Just previous to the accident he
had drilled several holes in the bottom
of the shaft, filled them with dynamite
and attached the fuses After a thor
ough inspection he fired the fuses and
prepared for his escape.
Dangling down into the hole was a
rope on which he was to ascend out of
the reach of danger. When he gave the

| little imagining that with each revolu-
ton of the windlass they We're draw
| ing farther and farther away from the
| terrified miner his only salvation.
When Briggs gave the signal to
ascend he evidently lost his hold on
the rope and fell back into the hole, on
! top of the burning fuse. 1t was too
late to eXtinguish the fire. The fuses
had already burned into the rock be-
yond his reach. He may have shouted
warning of his peril, but only the
| damp walls of rock heard him.
| AS soon as those on the surface real

man burden they stopped in dismay
| for they had heard the explosion. They
| hastily went below and found Briggs
crouching in a corner, buried under q

the body was not mutilated, despite
| the terrible shock.

WHERE WHITE
MEN NEVER TROD
SURVEYS MADE
BETWEEN COOK INLET AND
THE TANANA IN ALASKA.

SEATTLE. Wash.), September 90
After traversing a wilderness where
white men have never before ventured,
the United States Geological Survey
has completed a preliminary eXamin-
alton of the country lying between
Cook Inlet and the Tanana. A party of
seven, under the leadership of Alfred
H. Brooks made the trip from Ty-
nook to the Tanana, and later reached
Rampant, on the Yukon, after several
months of hard work. The entire coun-
try was carefully mapped, and the re-
ports have been sent on to Washing
ton by Brooks, who is now in Seattle.
Several new trails were discovered,
which will greatly aid future pros
pectors.
The trip was such a hard one that,
out of twenty carefully selected hor-
ses, only eleven survived. For hun
dreds of miles the party never saw a
white man, and, indeed, were the ma
jority of the time in a totally unin-
habited country. The party passed
closer to Mount Mckinley than any
other white men. Many new streams
We're located and named and another
party will probably be sent in next
year to continue the work.

Counterfeit Gold.

Few persons know that the gold used
in color printing and on picture frames
is made from a composition powder of
bronze and spelter, and not from pure
gold leaf, but which, however, gives the
same effect There is another article
that is very much initiated, and that is
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Spurious
dealers often refill the bottles, and thus
give them the same appearance as the
original, but unless they have our Pri-
vate Stamp unbroken over the neck they
are not the genuine. Refuse all such
limitations. The genuine Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has an unequalled rec
ord of cures OF stomach complaints back
of it, such as dyspepsia, indigestion,
constipation, billiousness, nervousness,
insomnia, and malaria, fever and ague.

In a recent speech President Roose-
welt objected to removing the tariff on
articles manufactured by the trusts be-
cause, he said, it would hurt smaller
manufacturers of the same articles who
are not in the trusts. We think this
argument is not well founded, for any
thing that will have a tendency to
break up the trusts will help the indie
pendent manufacturers who have not
yet been crushed by these merciless
combinations. Nothing could exceed
the cruelty of the trusts and the great
monopolies toward the smaller manu-
facturers and dealers. Every means,
fair and foul, has been used to kill off
competition, and thousands of small
concerns have been forced to the wall
Just one instance will suffice: The
Electrical Supply Trust, combina-
ton formed three years ago, drove
out of business more than 5000 deal
ers and manufacturers since its organ
ization. Fortunately it has now gone
to pieces itself.
The President need not worry about
hurting small concerns. The harder
he is on the trusts the better it will
be for them.

Negroes in a Terrible Panic.

In an awful crush of humanity
caused by stampede in Shiloh COL
ored Baptist Church. at Birmingham
Ala, last Friday night, ITO persons
were killed and as many more severe
" injured. The disaster occurred at
9 o'clock, just as Booker 7. Washing
ton had concluded an address to the
national convention of colored Bap-
fists, which was in session there. For
three hours the scenes around the
church were terrible. Dead bodies
were strewn in every direction.
Booker Washington had just con-
eluded his address when John Blllou,
a negro lawyer from Baltimore, en-
gagged in dispute with the choir
leader concerning an unOccupied seat;
Someone in the choir cried Fight
Mistakipg the word flight" for lire
the congregation rose en- masse and
started for the door. One of the min
listers quickly mounted the rostrum
and admonished the people to keep
quiet. The excited congregation mis-.
took the word "quiet" for second
alarm of fire and again rushed to the
door. Men and women crawled over
benches and fought their way into the
aisles. Those who had fallen were
trampled upon ike cattle. The min
listers tried again to stop the stampede
but no power Cd earth could stay the
struggling, fighting mass of humanity.
The screams of the women and chill
dren added to the horrors of the scene.
Through mere fright many persons
tainted and as they fell to the floor
were crushed to death.
Negroes who had reached the top
of the steps were pushed violently for
ward, and many fell. Before they
could move, others fell upon them,
In few moments persons were piled
upon each other to height of 10 feet,
where they struggled vainly to extri-
cate themselves. This wall Of strug-
Cling humanity blocked the entrance
and the weight of 1900 persons In the
body of the church was pushed against
it.
A squad of police was fastened to
the church and with the fremen h
nally succeeded in relieving the ne
groes-from their pinioned positions in
the entrance. The dead bodies were
then moved and the crowd finding an
outlet poured out. Scores of them
still lost their footing in their haste
and rolled down the long steps to the
pavement, suffering broken limbs and
internal injuries.
In an hour the church had been
practically cleared. The sight which
greeted those who had come to aid
the injured was sickening. Down the
aisles and along the outside of the
pews the dead bodies of men and
women were strewn. The MANNED
and crippled uttered heart-rending
cries. All the physicians living in
that part of Birmingham went to the
aid Of the injured. AS many OF the
suffering negroes as could be moved
by ambulances were taken to hospit-
ais and the rest were laid out OF the
ground. Most of the dead are wom-
en-, though several prominent minis
ters were among the killed.

If the people of this country have

If the people of this country have
admired President Roosevelt for one
quality more than another it has been
for his outspoken frankness and
truthfulness and his plain, blunt way
of putting facts. II they read his re-
cent speeches, however, they will have
to note painful tendency toward
juggling with words so as not to ex-
press himself too decidedly, and bis
evasion of strong terms when strong
terms are necessary is really pitiful.
For instance, in Cincinnati last Satur-
day he said in public speech:
81 wish to speak to you on the SUBJ
ject, or group OF subjects, which we
m, an when we talk of the trusts. The
word is used very loosely and almost al
ways with technical inaccuracy But
the average man when he speaks OF the
trusts means rather vaguely all OF the
very big corporations, the growth OF
which has been so signal feature OF
our modern times, and especially those
big corporations which, though organ
lied in one State, do business in'severaI
States, and some OF which have tend
ency to monopoly"
Imagine the bold and impetuous
Roosevelt coming such timid phrase
as the one with which he concludes
the above paragraph The worst he
can say of trusts is that some of them
shave tendency to monopoly. What
would he call real monopoly? Is
the Sugar Trust monopoly, or does
it just have tendency that way? Can
sugar be bought from any other source
than the trust? Is the Standard Oil
Company, which spends millions year
to crush competitors, an absolute mo-
nopoly, or is it simply tending in that
direction? Is the Coal Trust that con-
trolls the anthracite coal market mo-
nopoly ? If not, where is an independ-
ent competitor? And the great Steel
Trust, the Paper Trust,the Glass Trust
and all the other trusts-only have
tendency to monopoly Our farmer
friends who will hereafter have to buy
farm machinery will find out for them
selves whether the recently organized
agricultural implement trust is the
real thing in the way Of monopoly
or not.
1t is all too plain that the President
in his eagerness to be renominated
and reelected is sacrificing to his am
bition his sincerity and moral courage.
And stripped Of moral courage and
sincerity there's not much left of
Roosevelt.

tastefully decorated and furnished for

Presbyterians in entertaining their
visitors. Rev. Mr.. Willis, of the

school that is held in the Masonic
building so that the room might be
used by those who brought their din
ners and spent the day. Presbytery
had not met in Smith6eld, or Middle

there are witches there. The only
witches that were seen were the pref

tally of the quiet little town cast such
a spell upon the Presbytery as will
not soon be forgotten.
