 Among the First.
 Dr. J. F. Robinson of Bessemer was one Of the first to arrive on the scene. We are hopeful" he said, that some of the men can be saved. A few years ago a mine in usylvania was wrecked in a somewhat similar manner. It was four days before any of the rescung party had reached the bottom of the sope./A number of men were dead, but num- Der were in a state of unconsciousness when found and were restored to their normal condition"
 Inspector Gray on Hand.
 Mine Inspector John Gray is on the scene and is doing all in his power to as- sist in the rescuing. He has taken con- trol of the work on top and is co-operat- ing with Superintendent Reed, who is di- recting the work in the slope. In speak ing of the catastrophe MT. Gray said:
 Tt will be impossible to fully determine the cause of the explosion until the bot tom of the mine is reached.
 q am hopeful that the men who are hemmed in are still alive, yet it is inn possible to make any prediction until we get further down nearer the bottom of the mine"
 Inspector Gray has sent to Birmingham for safety lamps that the rescuers may be protected from the gas that is sup posed to be down in the rooms.
 At present the fan that conveys the fresh air through the mine Is working and this may be the means of keeping the entombed miners alive until they are rescued.
 Sam Hartley, the bank boss, had the most miraculous escape. Just a few min utes before the explosion occurred, he had been called to the top and was stand ing at the mouth of the slope when the 4 o'clock shot which caused the catastrophe occurred.
 His son Westly Hartley worked in>>the mine until 2:3o when he came out and thus escaped the disaster.

Closing Harriet Concerts,

With but three more nights Of Fam
ciulli and his band at the Lake Harriet
roof garden, the public is taking advan-
tage Of the good weather to journey
lakeward in large numbers, and last
nights audience was large and enthusi-
astic Fanciulli announces two features
that should appeal to the public. Be-
cause he loves children he announces
that children accompanied by their par
ents will be admitted to the roof garden
without charge this afternoon and to-
morrow afternoon AS request" night
is always one in which the public takes
a personal interest, he has made up the
program for this evening from selections
whose performance has been asked for
by the greatest number of patrons.
Naturally, Max Nickel will have to
play another, and perhaps the last, of his
"four-part'' drum solos which so aston
ished and pleased roof-garden patrons
the opening night. Nappa will have a
cornet solo and. Pagano a clarinet solo,
but beyond these numbers and Fanci-

known of the selected program until the

KING OSCARS SON MAY RULE

AS an evidence Of the intelligence and
accuracy with which T h jour- rs
staff correspondent has observed and
written of the political situation in Scan
dinavia this summer the following is in
teresting. Aug. 8 The Journa
printed the following, dated July 1s, at
Stockholm:
The candidacy of Carl, the second son of
King Oscar, has been little talked about
and would be indignantly denied in Stock
holm. All the same, it is believed here
that King Oscar secretly desires to put

skillfully to that end OF course it would
never do for him to put himself In the
Candidate. On the contrary, It is ne e. =
sary to appear rather coy in the matter
Perhaps you noticed that, in one of his
most recent interviews. the king declared
to have a prince of his house take the
throne of country that had insulted him
as Norway had. To do So he pointed out,
would be to subject the prince to similar
insults from the storthing. Then he
added, quite naively, it seemed, that the
only condition under which he would even
give the matter any consideration what
ever, was that the Swedish riksdag should

moment Carl of Sweden is found to be a

Today the Associated Press confirms
this forecast in the following cablegram
from Stockholm:

Yokohama, Aug. 6.-Via San Fran

first indication Of it's presence was on
July 20, when local Chinese refused to

The history will be found to have an
interest for people far beyond the Dor
ders Of the county. 1t contains much
of value to all Minnesotans. For ex-
ample, there are several chapters de-
The story of the bloody conflict of the
almost defenseless settlers on the from
tiers, as told in this new history Of
Kandiyohi county is graphic, and in
places even thrilling, and shows the dew
ilish barbarity with which the Indians
sought to drive the whites from the
newly settled territory. For instance,
take the following brief extract from
the narrative of the flight of a party
from Green Lake, in the course Of
which one Lorentson and a companion
named Backlund were killed:
Afterward they (the Indians), took the
skin from the entire face and from part
of Lorentson's head, including both ears.
Then they cut the heads off both corpses
and set them up with their hats on. Mr..
Backlunds right hand was cut off and
between the thumb and foreinger was
placed pinch Of snuff, while his snuff
box was set near his face. ProIBoing up
the discovered members so as to retain
these positions, the savages left them.
The aim of the history, however, has
not been to pick out sensational fea-
lures, but, as the compilers say, "to
present a clear and faithful picture of
conditions past and present, without
exaggeration or extenuation. AS a
part of such a purpose the compilers
have given an unusually interesting
bit of historical information as to the
once much agitated capitol removal. It
seems that the removal scheme was

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
ONLY One Samaritan.

To the Editor of The Journal.
Last night about Z o'clock a large auto
mobile with a small one hitched to the
rear came bowling along near Crystal
lake. Just previous to this horse hitched
to a light buggy had smashed the buggy
into splinters and was tearing for home.
One of the occupants Of the buggy started
after the horse, when the auto with the
little cripple in tow came along. He
chased after the auto and got into the
crippled machine and explained to the
man in 1T that his horse had run away
and as they were going in the same d.
rection as the horse he thought he would
be able to overtake him. He was told
to get out Now, would like to have this
gentleman In the crippled auto explain
how he would have got home If it had not
been for the good Samaritan that let him
hitch on behind?

Park Improvements.

New York is complaining Of some
thing in it's park administration Of
which nearly all cities have reason to
complain, that is the lack Of organized
plan in the development Of parks. Min
neapolis has some reason to complain Of
the same thing. The park system Of
Minneapolis appears to have 50 many
things to be done and to have ap-
preached finality in SO few, that one
marvels how the administrative officers
can keep intelligent track Of the bust
ness.
Instead Of having completed de.
sign at any point in the city, we have a
vast number of projects which are in a
vexed, If not a chaotic condition. It
is only necessary to point to the boule.
ward system, to the parks at Harriet
Minnehaha and other points to get the
drift of this criticism.
It is to be taken into account, of
course, that the park system is new
that it is in a formative period. It is
about in the condition of house which
is building. The material is on the
ground, part Of the building is up, and
the whole is unsightly but hopeful. Min
neapolis has been busy acquiring park
lands. There has been neither time
nor funds to perfect parks in these
areas.
But there is a different time coming
The park certificates which were giver
in payment for lands acquired, have
been paid off. The load of interest has
been removed from the shoulders of the
board. Now the time is come whe1
the people expect to realize something
from their investment. The future pol
icy of the city should be to give thu
park board fair, even liberal appro
priation for improvements, and the pol
| icy Of the board should be to make i'm
provements, not in a desultory manner
but taking up different parks, accom-
plish something tangible in each, befor,
| dropping the work and moving on t,
| some other locality. Of course al
parks could not be served at once.
| This is what the board has tried to d,
and failed in. It should map out ;
policy of improvements and develop it
trusting to time to justify it.

Why Not a HarvestFie Yell?

What this country needs just now is
a harvest-feld yell. Everybody knows
how the strains Of martial music arouse
spirit and enthusiasm and even valor
in the breast Of the soldier, how the
blast of the trumpet or the shrill
scream Of the fife has saved the day
at many an important crisis. In the
contests of the gridiron the shouts Of
the rooter are by no means unimportant
factors in the result. Why not employ
this principle for what it is worth in the
harvest fields Why not expect from it
the same results that follow under other
conditions9 In fact, some of the south
western farmers seem to have caught
on to this idea already, for it is said
that the Vanderbilt university students
who have been earning pin money at
binding wheat in Kansas were taught a
yell that runs like this:
"Wahool Hullabaloo!
7-11-62!
Muscle and meat! Tell with the
heat!
Show us the wheat! the wheat!! the
wheat!!!' ID
How the straw would fly under the
inspiration of yell like that as the
binders came down the field! We shall
expect this suggestion to be adopted
very generally by the farmers Of the
northwest and some day someone will
make collection Of harvest-feld yells
under which the sweating farm boy was
spurred to his best endeavor, just like
a hero Of the gridiron.

soldiers died in Camp Mckinley, which
is now quarantined. In the city several
natives and one American woman have
died. The surgeons of the board of
health state that the disease is not Sc
rious and that heroic efforts will be

The South Carolina Dispensary.

Senator Tillman' of South Carolina is
in the midst Of another battle over his
dispensary law for.the regulation of the
liquor traffic. Since 1892, when the
law was passed as a substitute for
prohibition act, which had the actual
support of the state, the dispensary
statute has been the center Of a tremen-
dous fire Of opposition and has stood
only thru the exertions Of Tillman in
it's behalf. 4
f South Carolina is at heart a {prohibi-
tion state, and but for Tillman, the
liquor traffic would have been declared
illegal long ago. The rural community
has never been reconciled to the Sun
holy traffic. in liquors by the state,
and in the present campaign two-t thirds
of the counties are expected to de-
clare in favor of local prohibition. Till
man admits the defeat Of the dispenary
system, but maintains that the demo-
cratic party should declare for state
prohibition instead Of remanding the
question to local option.
The dispensary system has amelio-
rated, but not solved, the drink
problem in South Carolina. It has
made the state partner in a growing
traffic which a majority of the people
regard as injurious. 1t was heralded
as great revenue producer, but in this
respect it has failed to make good the
promise Of it's supporters. The coun-

The White Earth Timber Sale.

The postponement Of the White Earth
timber sale to Oct. 2 is the result of
publicity given to what looks very
much like q crooked deal. This post
ponement, however, will afford no re-
lief to the Indian. Oct. is only four
weeks later than Sept. 5, and four
weeks is not time enough in which to
make an examination of the timber and
prepare an intelligent bid. .~&*
Nobody questions Mr.. Leupp's in
tegrity in this matter, or in any other,
but evidently he does not understand
the situation. If he allows the sale to
go thru on Oct. 2, he will play into the
hands OF. men who cannot be expected
to give proper consideration to the In
dams rights in this matter.
The regulations are at fault in va
rious particulars. The privilege Of
erecting but one mill with which to
saw this timber gives the owner Of that
mill q practical monopoly of the whole
business, and with but one prospective
purchaser to sell to, the Indian does not
have a fair chance. 1t is true, as Mr..
Leupp says, that the Indian is not
obliged to sell, but we think Mr.. Leupp
knows the Indian well enough to know
that he will sell if there is anybody to
buy. "' Ill.,
|, The probabilities are that the sale
will not take place on the I'd Of Octo-
Der. To force it thru under present con-
ditions would create scandal. Mr..
Leupp will know more about the situa-
tion before the time for this sale takes
place, and will appreciate more clearly
than he does now, the necessity Of al
