Houser and his 9-year-old companion,
Freddie Peholo, Of Woodhaven, i. l.,
have been killed by an electric current.

iron pole. to recover MS hat, which had
caught on the wire and was slowly be-
ing burned. AS he reached out for the
cap his hand came in contact with the
wire. The shock passed through his
body, killing him instantly, and forming
a circuit between the pole and the wire.
Young Houser, believing his comrade
only stunned. climbed up the pole to re-
lease him and carry him to the ground
When he reached the top he placed his
arm around the body, holding fast to
the pole with the other hand. The cur
rent from the body passed through him,
forming a second circuit with the pole.
The bodies were badly burned before
the current could be shut off.

AID THEM IN SUPPORT
OF INSTITUTION.

The board Of trustees of the Presbyte-
rian hospital has formulated plans for
raising 5000 which will be needed to con-

j. K. Orr was appointed chairman of a
committee which will undertake the work
of raising subscriptions and the canvas
will be begun during the next two weeks.
The committee will first draft letter APP
pealing to leading church members and
others here and elsewhere, after which a
personal canvas will be made by commit

churches. Several plans have been
discussed for raising the needed money,
but the plan of soliciting subscriptions

adopted

already been subscribed through the ef-
forts of the Ladies Auxiliary and the
Young Ladies' Auxiliary of the hospital,
making a total of $1,000 for the mainte-
nance of the hospital for the year.

Two Powder Magazines Explode
in Il Silver Mine.

Noxious Gases See
we're Shocks.

Park City, Utah, July 1.-Two pow
der magazines at the 1,200-foot level
Of the Daly-West silver mine eNplod-
ed early Wednesday morning, causing
much loss OF life. Up to a late hour
last night s. men had been taken out
of the mine dead, and several others
had been recovered in a half-dazed
condition. These were all brought
out through the Ontario mine shaft.
which is mile distant from the DAILY
West, in which the explosion oc-
Cured. The 200 level of the DAILY
West corresponds to and is connect
ed by tunnel with the 600 level of the
Ontario.
In the Daly-West mine between
100 and $50 men were at work. In the
Ontario were nearly 100. 1t is not
known how many of these are dead,
but the disaster extends to the On
tario, as the noXious gases that have
been freed are known to be the cause
of several deaths. The presence of
these gases leads many miners to be-
lieve that the powder was burned
and that the explosion was not the
chief cause of the disaster.
There are two powder magazines
at the 1900 level of the Daly-West,
one at each side Of the shaft, with a
capacity of from one to two cars of
powder each. \ car of powder was
added to the supply within the past
few days.
Six dead men have been taken out
of the Ontario shaft.
The explosion was so tremendous
that it awakened every one within 3
radius of miles. As an example Of It's
awful force, it is said that two horses
in the ore tunnel one and half
miles away were killed by it.
Experienced miners say that John
Burgy, the powder monkey" was a
green man. and should not have hand
led explosives. \ rescue party found
a hand and foot, presumably those of
Burgy. The majority of the men met
their deaths from inhaling gas and
not from shock.

hundreds Of thousands of new votes
for the republicans in the country at
large.
There is no issue in sight on which
the democrats have the faintest
chance to win. The most disastrous
of all these three issues for the demo-
Gratis would be that of imperialism.
The people of the United States do not
believe that there is any Imperialism
in the policy which the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and the republican party
in congress are pursuing in the Philip
pines. That policy is unquestionably
favored by at least two out of three
of the 100000 voters of this coun-
try. 1t is a policy which is to be pur-
sued, and which is to result in greater
good for the country than even that
which is foreshadowed at the present
time. The United States has made
unreasonable advances, socially. in
dustrially and politically, in the five
years which have passed since the re-
publicans came into power. On its
record since March 4, 1897, the repub-
lican party can and will win a grand
victory in 1902

TICKET NAM ED.
Wisconsin Republicans Nominate
State Officers.


Madison, Wis, July 1S.-Thc repub-
licans of Wisconsin finished their
work in convention yesterday. Rob-
ert M. Lafolette was again chosen to
head the republican state ticket, re-
ceiying the nomination over John NJ.
Whitehead, by an overwhelming ma
jority. With two exceptions, the
ticket as a whole went through, as
planned in advance. Those eXcep-
tionS were the nominations for state
treasurer and railroad commissioner.
John Kempf, of Milwaukee, won in
the contest for state treasurer, by
the aid of the stalwart faction, which
switched its votes before the ballot
was announced. This was the great
est surprise in the convention, as
Joseph G.. End, of Sheboygan, was
looked upon as sure of the nomi-
nation. John w. Thomas, of Chippe-
wa, secured the nomination for rail
road commissioner over Jonas Sven
holt, of Shawano, the slate candidate,
in similar way. Perhaps the most
exciting contest of the day was for
the place of superintendent of public
instruction between Carey and l.. ID.
Harvey, of Madison, Carey receiving
the nomination.
