OF The Explosion
Miners Bodies Seem to Have
Been Blown to Pieces Res
cuers Have Close Call.

Pittsburg, Jan. 26.-Even the
elements seem conspiring to pre-
won't the work of rescue at .he
Harw;ck mines. Almost zero
weather and bitter wind late in
the afternoon, swept down over
the little valley where the mine is
located and nearly added another
list of decd to the long black. table
already measured off. Not only
was the work of search for the
dead and living, # any arc still
alive, rudely interrupted, but
cold and ice and wind combined
nearly cost the lives Of 16 more
good men. q
At 3 o'clock this afternoon 16
men went down into the shaft to
do the work of bratticing, boil
stering, tunnellng and removing
the debris that has 30 far barred
thoir progress into the workings
where the men we've mt labor,
when the explosion occurred.
Their shift was supposed to be of
three hours only. Even at that
it was a hard task. Even before
the bucket reached the lotion
they were drenched with water
which the cold draught through
the shaft soon turned to ice.
Shortly after they were let
down, two at time, IN the bucks
OF, temporary hoist that had
been rugged up to bring up the
debris and the Cdead was stated
down the shaft. Then came snow
and the cold and efforts were
made to reach tho living men at
the bottom of the shaft, but the
wooden sides of the hoist, swoI.
lon bv the wafer, stuck &c tie
iron guide slide and then came
hours of manoeuvering to reach
the bottom. The mon below rad
had no means Of warmth and
many of them we're standing in
deep water. Every effort WAS
made to lower the cage and finally
it was loosened and got within 10
feet Of the bottom. The men
we're within easy reach Of u rope,
but their fingers nunbed and al
most frozen by the cold, were
unable to grasp the offered help.
1t was s O'Clock when the fret
three men of the party who went
down at 3 o'clssk were brought to
the surface. Not one of them
was able to walk, they were 80
numbsd by the cold, and then
they told of their experience in
the mine below.
Henry Beckert was one Of the
first men out of the cage. He
was carried to the boiler house
and after 20 minutes of warmth
managed to straighten himself
and say: sit was frlghtful ex
perience. The cold and hunger
and no good we could do. We
were too cold to work. There is
apparently no one to rescue. We
had a hard time to find many Of
the dead. A shred of clothing
here and another there, a jacket,
pair of overalls, but few bod
les.
"When we left the bottom Of
the shaft there we're 12>bodies ly-
ing there ready to be brought up.
There are many others there and
tho bodies of many Will never be
found"
Nike McQuaike, another of the
rescuers, said: "We have at the

THE MEN OF THE HOUR.

The demonstration in Chicago to-
day over the nomination of the
ticket has no parallel in the history
of the party The ticket was nomi-
mated without dissenting vote,
and the standard bearers received
with the widest enthusiasm.
There has been prevailing opinion
for the past few weeks that the
convention was such cut and dried
affair that the nominations would
be received without much demon
stration, but this was not the case.
Never in the history of the party
nominations has there been a greater
demonstration OF the approval of
public favor than that witnessed at
Chicago today when the Republican
standard bearers were named.
Heretofore the several state dele
cations have We'd each other in
their loyalty to favorite sons, to-
day it was the nations favorite
sons they united to honor. They
were a Unit in their choice. In the
history Of the nation there has
never been such uuaniuity and
harmony coupled with such Ell
thusiasm. The Republican party
stands to Win upon its splendid
record and the leadership Of its triec
and trusted champions. Iavorit,
sons Of the nation, Roosevelt an1

was speaking without knowledge or
authority, but he was there, and we
can only regret that the sexual re-
formers are worse than anybody
thought them. Abiding to the
subject, Mr. Broxon says:
There is said to be movement
on foot to have the Democrat State
Central committee recommend that
no one guilty of the practice of
polygamy or unlawful cohabitation,
including bigamy, adultery or
fornication, be elected to the State
convention at Lewiston. The COM
mittee will refuse, of course, as the
evident purposeSof the movement is
to prevent the election OF the same
delegates as attended the late Weiser
convention. Caldwell Tribune.

Queen Contest in Teton Basin.

Voting ran for days wit h Miss
Essie Price Of briggs away i'll the
lead and Miss Ada Bowles Of Victor
second, and Miss Matte Little
third. This being the case Victor
was allowed a committee of two,
E. D. and Ben Jones, who took to
they work like lions and swelled the
number for Ada with a big majority.
This condition did not remain long
as briggs determined not to be beat
and worked their queen ahead.
During the day of the 25th the
Victor and briggs candidates were
going ahead of each other continu-
Dusty all day until 10 80 p. m. when
Z. D. Jones, Ben Jones and c.
Nickerson, arrived from Victor
with full instructions to cover
everything that might come up in
the way of votes. At II 80 the
excitement ran high with briggs
6, 534 against Matte Little 1,72S.
The polls having been set to close
at II 80 all concerned were like a
lot OF Gagged lions pacing the floor
watching the voting and listening
to the telephoning. Reports were
received every minute from Haden
and Victor. 1t looked very en-
couraging to briggs as they were
away ahead, but like all winners
Victor came in all O. K. on the
home stretch. Here is where Victor
gained the day as soon as the time
drew near Haden falsely reported
their queen as having $500 votes.
The town of Victor soon received
word, when they ran their queen so
ar ahead that the friends OF the
two defeated candidates wilted like
the crops in the frost near St.
Anthony. We take great pleasure
III our victory during the queen
fight and know she can not be
surpassed i'll that position.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

Theodore Roosevelt has received
the unanimous vote of the Republi-
can convention for President. 1t
is a great honor, such an honor as
was hardly ever given candidate
before. III few DAYS another
candidate will be named at st.
Louis, and then will come one of
the longest and hottest presidential
campaigns ever known. From the
tone of the leading Democratic
newspapers we can anticipate the
nature of the campaign that they
intend to wage. Already the Presi-
dent is designated as usurper, a
would be war-lord, as one who
thirsts for military power for con-
quest, dangerous, self-willed,
obstinate and cratic man, in whom
the spirit of the cowboy keeps in
subsection the high thoughts Of the
statesman and the gentleman.
On the Republican side, the
campaign should assume the
offensive from the start; the appeal
to the people should be as Mr.. Root
outlined the record that the party
and President has made and the
condition Of the country under Re
publican rule.
AS the days 60 by that record
will be called up, piece By piece,
and reviewed, SO will the Presi-
dents record and it will all be sub
mitted to the people for their deci-
sion in November.
In Pharoh' dream the lean kline
came up and devoured the fat ones,
and were no happier for the meal.
That may be repeated i'll November
in our country, but we do not be-
lieve it will. The trials which the
country has given the Democratcy
since the war do not supply much
encouragement for a change.
But it will be red-hot campaign
sure enough and the prayer of both
parties should go behind the candi-
dates and ask for the best welfare
of the Republic. -Godwin's
Weekly.
