Recovering the Charred and Man
gled Remains of the Harwick
Mine Victims.
EVERY BODY THUS FAR FOUND
is BRUISED, CUT and CRUSHED.
Their Condition Indicates That they
Were Killed BIZ the Explosion,
which Hurled Them. Like straw
Before Gale. Against the Jagged
Mine Walls.

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 2S-The burned
and mangled bodies of the men who
went to work OF. Monday morning in
the Harwick mine are being brought
up to the surface and taken to the
temporary morgue, where they are be-
ing prepared for burial.
All Bruised md Crushed.
Every body so far brought up is
bruised and cut and crushed into
shapelessness. The fact that the legs
and arms are broken ard disjointed
indicates that the force of the explo-
sion must have been terrific It is pre-
sumed that II caught the men and
| hurled them like straws before a gale,
| battering them against the Jagged
walls of the mine and crushing them
| one upon the other at the ends of head
ings and chambers. Scarcely one of
| the bodies has any clothing on it and
all are more or less buyned, some to a
| scEsp. There will be great difficulty
| in identifying them on this account
and about the only way it can be done
| will be by the weigh checks found on
many of them.
| Relatives Temporarily barred.
No relatives were permitted in the
| temporary morgue this morning, for
the sights there are too gruesome, and
besides, it is absolutely necessary that
there be no interruption to the work
of the undertakers and embalmers
for before night they will have more
| than they can do
When all the bodies are brought III
that are now at the foot of the shaft
and when they have been prepared fol
view, the families and friends will BIZ
allowed to file through and assist il
completing the work of identification
The streets Of the village are deserted
to-day. the women and children hav.
ing been made to understand that they
would better remain indoors until the
authorities are ready for them to come
to the morgue
Another rescuer has met death in the
mine. David Lysle a volunteer miner
from Leechburg. Pa, was overcome by
gas, and died before any assistance
could be rendered him.

THE STATE sENAToRsHIP.

The selection of a representative
to serve this senatorial district in
the general assembly is a matter
OF vital concern to the citizens OF
Benton County-important alike
to all, from the humblest to the
greatest.
Let this individual, whoever he
may be, have, as near as possible,
every qualification that the bust
ness principles of the position de-
mand. Let no waiver of justice
nor panderer to morbid cravings
even aspire with hope to win.
let the aspirant to this honora-
BILE position be one which no influ-
ence can render antagonistic to
the interests of the people by mar
row prejudice nor handicapped by
selfish or personal demands.
Let him be an individual who
from an acquired knowledge of
human nature, can scan the affairs
OF State, and with an Unborn in
stinct direct his talents so they
will avail the most good to the
most people, and thereby receive
the gratitude of his constituents.
Upon such legislative choice, not
only in this senatorial district, but
all over Tennessee, depends the
States future progress and well
fare. Such choice can not fall far
short of vital needs. Such can be
depended upon to look vigilantly
to the culture and nourishment of
every progressive and moral meas
ure. Such a man will be in the
race, and such will be the choice
Of the Benton County Democracy.

"Mr. Roosevelt has earned the
thanks of this country for the good
he has done in telling the truth.
The man who tells the truth and
sticks to it does the most. lasting
good, whether he tells that truth
at the dinner table or in public"
Did Mr.. Roosevelt tell the truth
when, in his "Life of Thomas H.
Benton" he agreed with political
economists that protection "is vic
ious in theory and harmful in
practice? Then did he stick to
it when he advocated protective
tariff wherein the duty should be
"more than" equal to the cost of
wages abroad and at home?
Did he tell the truth in his Gin
clnnatl speech on September 2O,
1902, when he said the tariff did
not foster trusts, and asserted the
anthracite trust was not protected
by tariff duties? Did he stick to
itswben in his message of Deem
Der, 1902, he admitted that the tar

commended the removal of the tar

Did he tell the truth when, in

admitted that the tariff might need
