0NE KILLED AND
 SIX ARE INJURED
PREMATURE DISCHARGE or CT ANT POWDER RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HAvoC-DEAD MANS NAME IS UNKNOWN.

BISBEE, Ariz., October l2.--One man dead and si xare injured as the result
 an explosion at Lowell, on the grad
 ng being built for the street railway. The name of the dead man could not be secured. Four of the injured, Dionicio Gonzales, Jesus Leon, Pedro Ortez, all Mexicans, and Mcdaniel, the foreman, are in the hospital. It is feared that Gonzales is fatally injured.
 The accident occurred about twenty aminutes before the usul putting time and was caused by an explosion of black and giant powder. The men had put in charge of giant powder and on top of this n charge of black powder. This they were tamping in with an iron spoon. The presumption is that the powder was set off by spark and that this in turn fired the giant powder. The big iron spoon was found bent nearly double.

Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1907-04-20

Chicago, Ill.-Louis A. Gourdain, for
mer banker, convicted OF lottery
schemes who tried to break into the
penitentiary and, falling, had plans
drawn for miniature Jail wherein he
proposed to immure himself, will now
have his wish gratifled and serve time
in a real prison.
The appellate court has sustained
the finding OF the trial court and Gour-
dain faces four years and six months
of actual prison life.
Gourdian was sentenced in 1906 in
the United States court to four and
one-half years In prison for running a
lottery. He appealed, but later insist
ed on going to jail and serving his
sentence. The penitentiary officials
refused to take him as a prisoner
while he was out on bail and Gourdain
had plans drawn for $4,000 jail of his
own In which he announced he would
serve his sentence. He stopped at
the plans however.
At first Gourdain said he would de-
stroy his family and himself If found
guilty, but later he cooled off and is
now somewhere in the south. or Is
supposed to be, althoubh one Of his
threats was that he would put his fam
lily on yacht and sail away and they
never would again be heard from.
The court now orders his bondsmen
to produce him.

peraIIed on a straIaht Track.

St. Paul, Minn.-Running at speed
of 40 miles AN hour on a straight track
the Great Northern westbound Oriental
limited, which left here for Pacific
coast points Sunday morning, was de-
rallied early Monday at Bartlett, N. D.
Five persons were killed and a score OF
more injured, some of them serious
Iy.
After the wreck a gas tank exploded
and the train took fire, seven passen-
ger coaches being destroyed, the sleep
ar and observation coaches escaping the
flames. officials of the road say that
the track in this vicinity had been In
apparently first-class condition, and
they are unable to account for the
wreck on any other theory than that
it was the deliberate work of wreck
ers.
The dead are w. B. Jones, a mail
clerk, of Grand Forks, and four uniden-
tilted foreigners.
The wreck occurred on the line diyid-
ing Nelson and Ramsey counties, the

Secretary Taft at caeuas.

Caguas, Porto Rico.-Secretary Taft
and his party stopped here Tuesday
morning on their way from San Juan
to Ponce. The city was decorated
with American and Spanish flags and
a large crowd from the surrounding
country gave the secretary a cordial
greeting.
Caguas is the most important inland
city and its inhabitants have been
most persistent in their demand for
American citizenship. Mr.. Taft did
not mention the question at this place,
where President Roosevelt spoke
strongly in favor of it.
A steel bridge at the entrance OF
the city, which has just been COM
pleted, was christened Winthrop bridge
by Miss Majorie Ide, of Mr.. Taft's
party, who broke a bottle Of cham
payne on the structure.

Mexican Earthquake DAMAGE,

Mexico City, MeX--The extent OF
and the damage wrought by the earth
quake are greater than hitherto has
been reported.
The first belated press kilograms to
reach this city for "a hours past were
received by the Associated Press Tues-
day afternoon.
From them it Is learned that the
town Of Ayutla, to the east of Acapulco
and not far from the Pacific coast, and
the town of Ometepec, about 20 miles
to the east of Ayutla, have been prac-
tlcally destroyed.
The shocks continued at Chilpancin-
go 1875 miles south of here, during
night and were quite severe. Many Of
the buildings that were left half stand
ing by the previous trembllngs were
leveled to the ground.
The last shock at Chilpancingo oc-
CURED at in the morning. The gen
eral in command of the troops was
severely injured. The Jail, the hos
pitfalls and the school buildings at this
town were destroyed. The prisoners
are now being guarded by the rural
guard
The people have deserted the town
and are living in improvised structures
In the open air
The federal government is extending
aid to the town of Chilpancingo, but
it will be impossible 10 restore calm
until the shocks cease
The number of deaths reported to
date is 81. Fifteen persons were killed
in one house. The number of injured
is placed at 49,
These figures, however, are not exact,
and it is believed that the casualty list
eventually will be found to be much
larger.
Traffic between Mexico City and Vera
Cruz has been completely suspended
as large sections of the track of both
the International and the Mexican rail-
roads are sinking.
The port town Of Acapulco is re-
ported to be partially submerged.
The entire Pacific coast. between
Acapulco and Salina Cruz, distance
of some 500 miles, is said to have suf.
fered more or less severely.

Senator Penrose Kept Busy.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Penrose
did not visit the White House Tuesday
with the other members of the postal
commission, as it was thought he
would do.
The Presidents friends are chuckling
and saying that he did not care to
have a heart-to-heart talk with Mr..
Roosevelt ON the subject of the $5,000,-
900 conspiracy story which the senator
is suspected of having hatched at a
Washington dinner
Penrose's friends, on the other hand,
say their man is not afraid and will
go to the white House whenever it
suits his pleasure, without reference
to indications of executive agitation.
Meanwhile neutral Washington is ex-
pressing disappointment over the fail
ure of Penrose to show up,

STRUGGLE OVER THE CONGO.
New Phase Of Contest OF King Leop.
old and Belgian Parliament.

Brussels-King Leopolds return Il
expected to mark the beginning of {
new phase In the struggle between
the monarch and parliament over the
question Of the annexation OF the
Congo Free state by Belgium. The
king is unalterably opposed to annex
alton, and for the time being, seems
complete master of the situation. His
refusal to permit the Congo admins
tration to furnish information concern
ing the finances of his African state
to the parliamentary commission OF
the country Of which he Is the con,
stltutional king practically checkmates
the parliament.
Public opinion in Belgium is divided
on the question. There is a natural
antipathy on the part OF many to Bel
gium embarking upon colonial poll
cy. There is a large body of stock
holders in the concessionary compa,
nies, who are content to receive big
dividends and no questions asked
The commercial class generally Teaps
indirectly large profits from the
wealth coming out of the Congo and
the masses Of the people, dazzled by
prodigality of the monarch, his mani.
fold gifts, and the magnificent struc-
lures he Is constantly building, are
Indifferent or on the side of the king.
Nevertheless, sentiment in favor of
annexation grows constantly.
In parliament the majority Is strong
ly convinced that the destines of the
immense black population of the kings
African possession, comprising 100000
square miles, demand that a civil az.
ministration amendable to public Opin.
ion and a cabinet responsible TO par
lament should be substituted for the
irresponsible will of one man.
Whether or not the stories of afro
cities and awful exploitation of the
helpless blacks are exaggerated, the
existence at various times and places
of the most revolving abuses has been
established and the advocates of an.
nexatlon argue that 1t Is impossible
to prevent their recurrence so long
as the administration and explolta.
tion of this vast territory and popula
tion is conducted secretly with the
aid of half savage, black native leVles.
On the face of things, the Congo ad-
ministration goes annually deeper In
to debt. There is q chronic deficit. 1t
has outstanding bonds amounting to
$60,000 900, not including the 27,000,000
franc loan made by Belgium, in re.
turn for which Leopold made his will
in favor of the state. Notwithstand-

It has been estimated from $6,000,0OO

Outrageous Mlsrepresentation,

Washington, ID. C.-"If this outrag-
eous Misrepresentation does not cease
the department will publish a list bear
Ing the names of manufacturers who
are tndulging in this campaign of de-
ception," says Secretary Wilson of the
department of agriculture in an author
lied statement brought forth by the
fact that 1t had come to his knowledge
that a number of manufacturers of
foods and drugs were freely advertis-
ing that the United States government
was guaranteeing their products.
The secretary said the serial num-
ber and guaranty required by the pure
food and drug act to be placed on food
and drug products were being used by
these manufacturers for this purpose.
The serial AIM ngmber&" NIB T. .s said Secretary
slbility where 1t belongs-upon the
manufacturer-and to protect innocent
dealers who have a right under the
law to rely upon his guaranty. 1t Is
the guarantee of the manufacturer,
not the guarantee Of the government"
The secretary declared that every eff
fort would be made by the department
to put a stop to these statements. II
will do little advertising myself" he
said, "in behalf Of the people. l am
growing tired of seeing these untruth-
full statements on the advertising pages
of the magazines, the walls of the New
York subway and the advertising space
of the street cars Of the principal
cities. Manufacturers who will deceive
the public about the guaranty will lie
about the quality Of their products"
He added that the law was to be ad-
ministered fairly and that no honest
manufacturer need fear that the de-
partment will take "snap judgment"
ON him Or harass him in any way.
