Fairbanks Special Leaves St. Louis for
Louisville.

ST. Louis. Oct. Ex-senator Fair
banks arrived in ST. Louis last night
and addressed an immense audience in
Lemps' Hall. He said:
"a continuance of the administra-
ton of Theodore Roosevelt is an as
surance to the American people and
the world that it's exalted diplomacy
will be continued. We must safe
guard American interests in the ORR
ent, that vast field of future CONNER
cial achievements. The situation is
one of great delicacy, yet no one
doubts that the administration of
President Roosevelt will successfully
deal with it and we shall be able to
hold the privileges we now enjoy, not
through an appeal to the sword. but
through that wise diplomacy which
has won us victories in the past
The senator's special train left at a
late hour for Louisville, Ky, where it
is expected one speech will be made.
The Saturday evening meeting will be
at Cincinnati.

2I DEAD.
Miners Entombed and SuffOcated
in Colorado.
Explosion Caused Roof of Mine
to Cave In.

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 29.-Coroner B.
B. Sfpe has begun an inquiry into the
fatal explosion which occurred yes
terday afternoon in Terico mine No.
8, owned by the Rocky Mountain Coal
& Iron company, an adjunct of the
Colorado Fuel & iron company.
t"The report that sixty men were in
the mine at the time of the explosion
is untrue said Coroner Sipe after
visiting the scene of the accident.
.I believe there are FL entombed
in the mine and that all are dead.
81 think the explosion, which caused
the roof of the mine to cave in. was
a dust explosion.
1.-THE mine is well ventilated, with
out artificial devices. No bodies were
recovered last night.
1.-THE mine is burning and many of
the bodies may be cremated, thus
making it impossible to ascertain ex-
actIy the number in the mine"
There were only two Americans in
the mine, George Brandenburg and
John Hatton. The others were Slavs
and Mexicans.
First reports of the disaster said
between thirty and sixty men were
dead.
News of the explosion brought as
sistance from the adjacent camps and
hundreds of men are trying to get
into the mine. Deadly fumes over
come the rescuers frequently, but their
places are Immediately taken by 9TH
ers ready to risk their lives. 1t is
not thought possible that any one in
the mine can escape death If they are
not all dead already.
Terico is one of the prettiest camps
in Las Animas county. 1t is composed
of probably 100 cottages and num-
Der of smaller cabins nestled almost in
the foot of the mountains. 1t is
reached only by the Colorado & Wy
oming railroad and is the terminal
point of that line. On all sides it is
surrounded by high mountains. 1t is
almost at the head of the south fork
of the Purgatoire river which runs
down a beautiful canyon at the side
of the town. 1t is one of the most
peaceful little camps in the country
and is a favorite resort during the
summer for campers and tourists.

THE DEPLORABLE STATE TREAS
URY.

The State Journal wishes to say to
its readers in all calmness, confidence
and sincerity that the conduct of the
Office of state treasurer of Kansas
within the last six years, during which
time T. t. Kelly has been in control,
has been rotten.
This is not an elegant expression but
no other word fits the case.
Thousands of dollars of shortages,
state accountant acting with the best
known expert accountants in the Uni
ted States.
Thousands of dollars of additional
defalcations will be found as the work
proceeds.
Just how much money T. T. Kelly
has made by the manipulation of pub
lie funds trustfully placed in his charge
will never be known. Some of the
money paid to Kelly for the use of de-
posits has been so adroitly covered up
and the record, or no record, managed
in such a cunning manner that no ac-
countant on earth could ever discover
it.
The records of bank will not dis
close it, although that very bank may
have paid out hundreds of dollars to
Kelly for permitting the state funds to
lie in the bank, which Mr.. Kelly did
permit, when he was paid for doing it.
The funds of the state of Kansas
have been .scandalously handled by the
officer holding them in trust these past
years. The money of the state has
been used as if the treasurer's Office
were a bank. No one knows how
many times the states money has
been used as a private loan for a day,
a few hours, a week, a few weeks. or
longer.
The State journal has proven one of
tn ese charges by sworn, indisputable
testimony, wherein T. T. Kelly loaned
the states money to the amount of
$123,0O0 for sixteen days.
A greater part of these eembezzlements
and disreputabIe transactions have been
in connection with the sacred school
fund of Kansas.
How long are the voters going to per-
up to them. The chairman of the Re
publican state committee will not act,
although he knows the great menace
to the state today is this corruption and
the menace to the Republican ticket
today is the presence of T. T. Kelly, a
proven embezzler, on that ticket.
This paper has substantiated by
sworn testimony and by official ac-
countant's reports nearly all of its
charges and far more than it has
charged.
With additional time, more truths
and more proofs will be forthcoming to
the reader.
Since the above was written to-
days startling report has appeared.

Humboldt, Kan, Oct. 29.-The Hum
boldt schools have been closed indefi-

child has died from the disease. James

1t seems that the Heryford child was i'm
school until last Friday, and died on
Monday, so that many children were
exposed to the disease.

FAILS TO REACH 10000
Total Registration This Year Is Only
9,769.

Topelka's total male registration for the
election to be held November is 9,769,
but this includes a good many duplicate
and erroneous registrations, which, when
eliminated will probably bring the total
down to about $500.
In 1900 the total male registration was
1OI74 In 1902 it was 9,612. The falling off
of this years registration over that of the
last presidential election is probably due
to lack of interest in politics this year.

While on a visit TO an old friend in
Springfield. Ohio. last week Hon.
Charles Foster, of Fostoria. Ohio. was
stricken with paralysis and died on
Saturday morning. Mr.. Foster was
secretary under Benjamin Harrison
and served two terms as governor of
Ohio, as we'll as being member of
congress from that state. All his life
was spent in Seneca county and rhe
city he called his home was named
in honor of his father. who was the
founder of the place and the first gen.
eral merchant of Fostoria. AS pol
itician Charles Foster had few equals
and no superiors. Some few years
ago he lost fortuue estimated at
close to a million and it was due to
the failure of Mr.. Foster that the late
William Mckinley lost all he had.
The failure of Mr.. Foster was severe
blow to many residents of Fostoria
and vicinity, as all had the utmost
confidence in Charles Foster and had
placed their money and securities in
his bank at Fostoria. He leaves a
wife and one daughter TO mourn their
loss Mr.. Foster was 76 years old and
all his life had been an active bust
ness man. To him more than any
one person the little village of
Fostoiia of few years ago has grown
to be city of ten thousand people
and one of the most progressive in the
Buckeye state.

There seems to be a precedent estab-
lished here that bawdy houses and
saloons shall come in for a large share
of attention and consi Iteration from
the police. Protection to them and
other all night places seem to be sole
ly the chief concern of officers We
have no knowledge CT ourselves that
such is the case with the present police
force. but we do know that formerly
the first thing some of the officers did
when coming ON duty was to make n

that we should be permitted to build
