HE PANAMA EXPLOSION
one Man Dead Two Fatally Injured and Eleven Others Badly Burned in the
 Coal Mine Disaster.

rort Smith, Dec. 4.-With portions of their bodies burned to a crisp, cut, burned and bleeding. nve or the most serious injured men who were in the mine explo- sion at Panama Tuesday after- noon, were brought to this city this morning.
 Fourteen of the miners were injured, one man is dead and two of the workmen brought to the St. Edwards will die.
 Manager G. H. Witte, who ac. companied the injured to the city said the explosion occurred about 5 o'clock Tuesday afternoon :n the mines of the Witieville Coal Company. The entire force of workmen numbering sixty-6ve, were Tn the mine when the ex- plosiou occurred without warning in the fourth west entry. Four. teen miners were at work in this portion of the mine and all were injured.
 It is not known just exactly what caused the accident, but it IS presumed that the shot frer in the entry was preparing the shot A keg of powder was setting near by and it is presumed that the flames from ithe mans lamp was blown into the explosive.
 Immediately following the ex. plosion the other workm n in the mine rushed to the rescu of the unfortunate men in the entry. All the injured were brought to the surface alive.
 The man who caused the ex. plosion will die. His hands and face were horribly burned. He is unable to give the details of how he happened to set off the powder but he spoke of the matter while en route to the Infirmary and partially told how he was pre-. pairing the cap to set off the shot.
 Roy Lowrey, aged Is, died soon after taken from the mine. Joe Frantz, aged Is, will die. Mike Dounelly, burned fear fully about the face and body, will die.
 Only two of the injured men were married and it is likely they will recover,

MENA BANKS ARE
 NOT EFFECTED
The Closing of the Doors of the National Bank of Commerce at Kansas City Does No Harm
 Here.

The closing of the doors of the National Bank of Commerce at Kansas City did not have any effect on the standing and strength of Mena banking in- stitutions.
 The National Bank of Mena was the only one having any relations with the closed bank, and this bank has tor consider able time carried balance there for exchange purposes of but a few hundred dollars, and it so happened that at this time the amount was very small.
 The National Bank of Com merce of Kansas City had in August deposits to the amount of more than 5 million dollars. This has been reduced by with drawal since that time to about l6 millions, which evidently had much to do with the closing of its doors,it being unable to convert its assets into cash quickly enough to meet the rapid drain on its cash.
 This institution has in course of construction the finest build ing in Kansas City, a steel structure occupying about a quarter of block of ground and being fifteen stories high. A seven story brick and stone build ing that had been built but about twenty years was torn down to make space for portior of the new building.

THE DECLARATION.
How 1t Was Drawn, Debated and
Finally Adopted.

How 1t Was Drawn, Debated and
Finally Adopted.
On the immortal Fourth Of the year
1776 the Declaration Of Independence
was adopted by the Continental con-
gress. 1t was thirty-nine times before
that body until it was finally adopted.
Entire separation from England was
not at first thought Of by the colonies.
New England wished It, but the south
ern states were against 1t. The seat Of
war having in 1776 been changed from
the north to the south caused the south
also to change her views. The North
Carolina convention took the first step
toward independence by a resolution to
concur with those in the other colonies
In declaring independence; this occur
red on April %, 1776. Virginia on May
II, 1776, prepared the title Of the docu
ment by directing her representa- ives
to propose In congress a declaration
Of independence"
Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ben.
jamin Franklin, Roger Sherman and
Robert G. Livingston were the com.
mittee appointed to draft the Declare
ton. The draft was formulated almost
entirely by Jefferson. Before July 1
Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jer
sey had instructed their delegates to
vote against the Declaration. These in.
structions were rescinded. South Caro-.
lima came over to the majority. Della
wares vote, at first divided, was cast
In the affirmative.
The Declaration was therefore adopt
ed by the unanimous vote Of twelve
states, New York alone not voting, on
July 4. 1910. The New York conven.
ton afterward ratified the Declaration,
and the engrossed copy was signed on
Aug. 2. The Declaration sets forth
the rights Of man. and the colonies
enumerate their grievances against the
British government and declare "that
these united colonies are and of right
ought to be free and independent
states."-New York Tribune.

THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC.
a Fourth of July Grafton by Senator
Jonathan r. DOlliyer

Jonathan p. DOlliver
The truth is that the great and admi-
rable epochs in the history of the Unit
eo states are not to be found in the re-
mote past They are in the present.
Just behind us and all around us. It is
an inexcusable disparagement of our
own times to attribute to other genera
ions what does not belong to them
and to take away from our own it's
just claim upon the confidence and
gratitude of mankind.
The history Of nation is only a
statement of its preparation for its
part In the progress of the world, and
while the Revolutionary era must al
ways be cherished and the men and
women who wrought its great achieve
ments commemorated with honor and
applause, 1t ought not to be forgotten
that their work required Infinite sacri
nces before it grew into permanent
strength and became a part of the
fixed order of things, a permanent fac
tor in the course of human events.
Our fathers began the work of build
Ing the American republic; they left It
to their children to finish It, It is at
least as important to live as 1t is to be
born, and this patriotic anniversary
ought to be put to better use than to
spread the gospel of encouragement
and fear in the public mind, as the
people participate In this historic me-
mortal of the life and times of their
ancestors.-Senator Jonathan p. Dolli-
yer of Iowa.

TO THE OLD SOLDIERS.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE)

them Glance we then on scenes OF
Donaldson, where Grant in 'o2
forced his first great victory and won
the gazing Of the world. X x Prais-
es to General Grant, and hail to
Donaldson, yet only typical Of a
thousand points Of contact, where
four centuries of progress from four
years Of war were wrought, and to
the astonished vision of the world,
appeared the Grand Army of the
Republic.
On the first day Of May, 1864, be-
gan the consumate year of warfare.
Crossing the Rapidan Grant
pinioned Lee and his army and
never again did it threaten Washing
ton or strengthen Hood, or break
out at Gettysburg to breath, till the
end and peace had come.
Disarmed legions took home their
horses to cultivate peaceful fields,
and heroes Of hundred battles went
up to the nation capitol and on the
scroll of fame, where in military
honor they rank with the soldiers Of
Wellington and gloriously share with
the comrades of Washington. The
veterans Of such war should live,
the ornaments and pensioners of a
nation.
The acts of bravery Of our soldiers
during the Civil War perfume the
pages of history and renders it en-
chanting And wherever language
is spoken or history written their
names should shine on and on like
the stars of God forever and ever"
The example offorded by such acts
serves to inspire in the hearts of the
present and coming generations the
spirit Of heroic devotion to country.
Without patriotic people coun-
try cannot prosper. Patriotism in
war means self sacrifice on the battle
field, in peace it means good citi-
zenship. Let us hope and
hoping believe that true spirit OF
patriotism will in the years to come
be kept aglow until the tide of time
GIBBS and washes over the wide
waste of the worlds wreck into the
mystic seas Of eternity. Nothing
that is good ever perisheth. x X \
In the sunlight of Gods grace let
us build upon foundations deep and
strong.
And now, Soldiers of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, another year
has passed into that stretch of time
that wells the awful front of war, and
the increasing winter of your locks
betrays your detail to those mortal
battalions, swift side stepping to
their graves. He, who, although he
worketh unseen, yet increasingly and
lrresistablyy hath, in His wise provi-
dence, seen fit to remove many from
your ranks since last you gathered
together. They have been muster
ed into that large army that is en-
eamped about the eternal city, that
faith has builded on the sunny plains
beyond the dark river, toward which
young and old are advancing with
steady tread, and over which we all
must pass. Your patriotism, your
bravery, will live in remembrance in
the generations that are to come as
the highest type of glorious man.
