A NINE DISASTER.
Seven Men, Mostly Foreigners, suffs-
Gated In a Peculiar Manner.

Bolivar, Pa, Dec. 23.-Seven men
were suffocated Thursday in the No. 2
soft clay mine of the Reese Hammond
Fire Brick Co., near here. The, vic
Tins were Austrians. There we're
about 25 men in the mine and all but
seven were rescued, though they were
all in bad shape and two are likely to
die.
The cause Of the disaster was most
peculiar. A small building about 16
by 20 burned down at the mouth of the
mine. The air shaft from the work
ing to the surface some distance in
the mine acted as sort of fiue and
drew into the drift the heat and smoke
from the fire, thus suffocating the men,
whose escape was shut off by the fire
at the opening. AS soon as it could
be done, the burning shanty was torn
away and rescuers rushed into the
mine, but already five had succumbed
to the heat and smoke and others
were in a dying condition. One more
died on the way out and another after
they had reached the fresh air. The
men were not burned in any way.
The property loss is trifiing. 1t is
supposed that the fire was started by
a miner who is thought to have upset
a lamp and ignited some oil.

THE SCIENCE OF GRAFT.

Hon. Neal Brown, in his speeches
throughout tho state, is trying To stir
up the people to oppose the growing
practice prostituting every branch
of the p~blic service to selfish ends.
AT Waukesha, recently, he said:
"The science of graft has become so
extensive In Wisconsin that 1t has at.
tackled every branch of state govern
ment. What would this state have
thought ten years ago OF the game
warden system? Yet to-day we are
laughing and wlnking at II. Even the
University OF Wisconsin has been
touched by this debauchery OF the
state government, Today the idea
there Is not the giving OF an honest re-
turn for days work, but how much
can we get from the state government
This graft OF oflicialism has penetrated
everywhere under the present reform
regime. -
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1904-11-03

Though Gov. LaFollette has raised
a great cry for tax reform, 1t Is signi-
fcant that the only opposition to the
tax commissions recommendations
emanated from the executive Office.
The sensible recommendations of the
commission were ignored by the gov
ernor's orders and the Infamous mort
gage tax law was passed under his di-
rections, saddling onto the borrower
an added burden and wiping off from
the tax rolls vast amount Of proper
ty that heretofore has been subject to
taxation.

A REPUBLICANS VIEW.

A representative Republican writes
us as follows in regard to the assem-
bly, contest in Iowa county:
The old adage, "Old men for coun-
sci and the young men for war;" is,
| think, applicable here as we'll as
anywhere.
Mr.. M. H. Murphy has the age
which makes for sound judgment; and
he Is one who has not sought the Of
fice-the Office sought him. Mr.. Muir
ply has no political axe to grind, and
can be free, while his opponent il
bound by too many pledges. Mr. M
Murphy is not looking for political
preferment In the future like his OBJ.
ponent.
The people are becoming tired oil
willy politicians, and we, as Republi.
cans, think 1t high time to set our seal
| of disapproval on the methods of the
political machine that has run the
Republican party the past four years.
We believe it the opportune time tC
show the opposition that, If they are
candidates on ticket headed by
Roosevelt aud Fairbanks, this will
not be their safeguard. We shall
scrutinize their views and actions:
and, as Mr.. Smoker owes allegiance
to man who opposes Republican
congressman, and Republican assem-
blymen, and senator's; who will not
bow to his bidding, the sooner we get
rid of such candidates the better.
Suffrage should give a man a voice
In the affairs Of our state and nation.
But this year Mr.. LaFollette saws,
Elect such and such only, that will do
my bidding.
/ ask Mr.. Smoker, why is 1t neces-
sary to have a legislature II Gov.
LaFollette Is to dictate all laws?
The people will attend to his case
this fall, and his political death
knell is preparing to be tolled.
The Republicans (true ones in this
section will mark their tickets for
Mr.. NJ. Murphy, believing him to be
the safer man into whose hands Iowa
county can be placed A NEIGHBoR.

A GREAT DEMOCRATIC
MEETING.

Former Congressman Burr w.
Jones delivered very bright and
able speech, at the city hall last
Friday evening. Mr.. Jones always
delivers bright and able speech,
and the fact Is we'll known TO the
citizens of Mineral Point; but this
time he far exceeded their expecta-
lions. 1t was n straightforward and
Incorporating Democratic speech.
He 2ealously advocated the election
OF our national, state, congressional
and county candidates; and he was
very heartily applauded by large
and appreclatlve audience. The effect
OF the speech will be enduring In
strengthening the cause Of Democracy
in this community. Mr.. Jones has
also spoken NJ Dodgevil'e and High
land In this county; and from both
these places we hear In regard TO his
meeting the same favorable comments
as here In Mineral Point. Mr.. Jones
is an able champion Of constitutional
democracy; and he makes good the
word with the deed,
The good old democratic doctrine
OF equal right for all has been
preached with power In Iowa county
this fall.
