The Big Four club fitted up nice
room on Vine, street this week to be
used as club room for social enter
tainmelts during the winter. The
magnificent heater was put in Friday.
The furniture consists of tables,
chairs and everything used for social
entertainments, being of the latest
and most improved pattern, up to date
in every respect. The writer con.
graduates the boys on this movement
and hope they will use their club
room for social and intellectual en-
tertainments during the winter.
h. T. Reese, state mine inspector,
made an official call here on Monday.
In a conversation with the Herald
correspondent he reported the mine
in a good condition and mad no COM
plant to make, as every recommends
ton he maze on his previous visit
was fully complied with in a manner
worthy of credit on the part of the
management. On the question of
the shortage of men he informed us
there were only four places in the dis
trict short, viz: Eveland, Durfee,
Cricket, Bolton. At Buxton they were
refusing men work every Gay. Re-
ported the mines running gooo and
mining laws generally lived. up to
over the district, with peace and har-
mony prevailing. Mr.. Reese takes
great interest in his work and when
on the rounds Of inspection counsels
the men freely on all matters relat-
ing to the mines; has disposition
of fairness and one that is calculated
to make friends 1t afforded the
writer much pleasure to meet him.
1t is said when rogues fall out hon
est men will get their dues. This
seems to be the case in the Chicago
teamsters' strike, as one can readily
see there was a mistake made IN the
selection of a leauer for their union,
as is often the case of organized la
Dor. The writer has called attention
to this through the Iowa press once
year since 1882, urging organized
labor to use good judgment in the
selection of men to lead them. The
best rule the writer ever knew was
to note their every day life at home.
and their social standing in the com
munity in which they live. When
you do this you will form an estimate
OF the man, as man should be given
credit for the good deeds he performs
on this earth, not for his meanness,
as is the case many times in the Sc
lection Of a leader. The eyes of the
world are today set upon organized
labor. Therefore it stands every true
union man to set his mark high. Let
his every day walk in life show the
cause he advocates, for when man
breaches one thing and does another,
he Is no longer looked upon as a
good union man.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt in special message
to congress today gives the full his
tory of the case, and elaborate ex-
plantations for the discharge of the
colored soldiers from the United
States army, but he stands firmly by
the action taken and offers no apol-
ogy for what he considers inadequate
punishment meted out to the offend
ers.
The special message today was in
reply to the senate resolution dated
December 6, 1906, concerning the dis
charge of the three companies of the
Twenty-hfth Infantry. The president
in part says:
Il ordered the discharge of nearly
all the members of Companies B, G
and u of the Twenty-ffth Infantry by

tutional power and in pursuance Of
what, after full consideration, found
to be my constitutional duty as Com

History 81 the Case.

ut appears that in Brownsville,
south Carolina, the city Immediately
beside which Fort Brown is situated,
there had been considerable feeling
between the citizens and the colored
troops of the garrison companies.
Difficulties had occurred, there being
conflict of evidence as to whether
the cLlzens or the colored troops
were to blame. My impression IS
that, as matter of fact, in these diff
culties there was blame attached to
both sides; but this is wholly unim-
pose, as nothing that occurred offered
in any shape or way an excuse or JUS.
tification for the atrocious conduct of
the troops when, in lawless and MUIR
derous spirit, and uncer cover of ,-e
night, they made their attack upon
the citizens.
Attack Made at Midnight.
Ihe attack was made near mid
night on August 49, The following
facts as to this attack are made clear
by Major Blocksoms investigation
and have not been, and, in my, judg
ment, can not be, successfully contro
verted. From y to Is or 20 of the
colored soldiers took part n the at
tack. They leapt over the walls from
the barracks and hurried through the
town. They snot at whomever they
saw moving, and they shot into houses
where they saw lights. In some of
these houses there were women and
children, as the would-be murderers
must have known In one house in
which there were two women and five
children some ten shots went through
at height of about Az feet above
the floor, one putting out the lamp.
uopn the table. The lieutenant of
police of the town heard the firing and
rode toward it. He met the raiders,
who, as he stated, were about Is col
ored soldiers. They instantly start
ed firing upon him. He turned and
rode o., and they continued firing
upon him unIll they had killed his
horse. They shot him in the right
arm Qt was afterwards amputated
above the elbow. A number Of shots
were also fired at two other police
men. The raiders fired several times
into a hotel, some of the shots being
aimed at guest sitting by window
They shot into saloon, killing the
bartender and wounding another man.
At the same time otner raiders rired
into another house in which women
and children were sleeping.
TownspeopIe Surprised.
The townspeople were completely
surprised by the unprovoked and
murderous savagery of the attack
The soldiers were the aggressors from
start to finish. They met with no
substantial resistance, and one and
all who took part In that raid stand
as deliberate murderers, who did
murder one man, who tried to murder
others, and who tried to murder WON
en- and children, The act was one OF
horrible atrocity, and so far as am
aware, unparalleled for infamy in the
annals of the United States Army.
"The white officers of the compan.
les were completely taken by surprise,
and at first evidently believed that
the firing meant that the townspeople
were attacking the soldiers. It was
not until Q or o'clock in the morn
