FIRE ADDS TO MINE HORROR.
Bodies Of 214 Persons Recovered and
Are Buried Friday.

Yosovo, European Russia, July A.
The bodies of 214 persons recovered
from the Rikovsky mine, which was
the scene of an explosion of gas were
buried Friday.
The horror of the situation was add
ed to by fire which broke out Friday
morning. 1t penetrated the inner gal
leries where $50 men are imprisoned
and made the efforts of the rescue
parties almost useless. In the dis
lance from behind heaps of fallen de-
bris could be heard cries for help all
day. Fifty-three bodies were taken
out Friday, all terribly mutilated.
Some Of the men had been burned to
death, while the heads and limbs of
others had been torn off by the force
Of the explosion. Seventy-five wound
ed we're also taken out and removed to
hospitals. OF these, ten succumbed
during the day and many others are
in a precarious condition. Three
women who stood at the mouth of the
pit and recognized the bodies of their
husbands, dropped dead from shock.
A number of others have gone mad.

TREASURY CONDITION 0. K.
so SAYS SECRETARY coRTELYoU
IN A STATEMENT.
Deficit Is s6o,ooo,o 900, in Round Num-
bers--New Debt Created Placed
at About 100000

Washington, July 4.--Regarding the
condition of the United States treasury
Secretary Cortelyou issued a state
ment. Secretary Cortelyou's state
ment follows:
Although the treasury statements
show deficit in round numbers of
$60,000,000 in the operations of the
government during the fiscal year
just closed, the deficit is more appar
ent than real, being due to an anti
quated system of bookkeeping which
Secretary Cortelyou is having over
hauled and modernized. Considering
the ordinary receipts of the govern
ment there Is not only no deficit but
surplus. The amount of new debt
created during the year was only
100000 in excess of the amount of
the old debt redeemed; anG~S5, 100000
was expended in new public works, of
which less than half was paid for by
the creation of a funded debt.
Two of the fundamental errors in
treasury statements are that the pro-
ceeds of bonds sold are not counted
in the receipts, but all the money
which is paid out for the purposes for
which the bonds are issued is included
in expenditures. In this respect the
practice of the United States treasury
departs from that of all other impor-
tant governments. The latter take
care to discriminate between ordinary
receipts, which are devoted to the
actual running expenses of the gov
eminent and extraordinary receipts,
which are set aside for permanent
public works or other special pur-
poses. The total amount expended
by this, government for various public
works, including the Panama canal,
during the past fiscal year, was $751;
S25,32S.
Under a proper method of book
keeping this amount would be charge
able to extraordinary expenditures to
be met by loans.
1.-THE deficiency in extraordinary re-
ceipts paid from surplus or ordinary
receipts and from the free balance in
the treasury was s75,S90,7SS. The
items included under extraordinary
expenditures are such as might be
properly covered by the issue of bonds
instead of paid out of current
revenues"

amount of correspondence and had
gone to the golf links with Frank b.
Kellogg. After his return he was
closeted with Senator Beveridge for
two hours and they went over condi-
lions in Indiana and elsewhere with
great detail. Mr.. Beveridge told Mr..
Taft that he did not consider the af-
fairs of the party in Indiana in any
condition to endanger the state next
fall.
A ball game between the statesmen
and the newspaper correspondents put
an end to further conferences for the
day, Mr.. Taft taking part in the game
on the team of statesmen and Mrs
Taft witnessing the sport
The game was the result of the &C
tivity Of Senator Murray Crane who
has had long conferences with the Re
publican candidate while here. The
istatesmen's nine was made up Of Sen
ator Crane, pitcher; Representative
Burke of Pennsylvania, catcher; John
C. Eversman, secretary to Representa-
tive Mckinley, first base; Representa-.
tive Burton of Ohio, second base; Rep
resentative Lawrence of Massachu
sets, third base; Representative Nc
Kinley, center field: Senator Beverage
left field, and William H. Taft, right
field.
The game was hotly contested. bu'
the correspondents lost out after eight
innings by a score of IA to II.

SIXTH AVENUE SEWER
Considerable Work Necessary at
Market Street Crossing.

The Sixth avenue sewer, the con-
struction of which began at the alley
between A and B streets, or half
block west of the power station OF
the Oskaloosa Traction & Light Co.,
has reached market street where un-
usual conditions are encountered and
where a large amount of work is re-
quired and at point where the
depth of the trench is the greatest.
Market street is the top of hill that
slopes to the east and to the west and
the sewer is through the crest Of the
elevation. Sixth avenue at this point
for some reason makes decided jog
to the north The sewer must there
fore change its direction to the north
and then again to the east, making
two "manholes" necessary at the
point of the greatest cut. Two man
holes" are now being constructed on
Market street about thirty feet apart
and the depth of the sewer at the
point Is almost twenty feet. The
street car tracks have right-of-way
at this point and the work is so plan
ned that traffic may not be disturbed.
This makes necessary the tunneling
of the street in addition to the digging
of the two deep wells wherein. the
''manholes" are to be constructed A
vast amount of dirt has to be handled
within a small space and inconvenien.
ces appear on every hand. All OF the
work has to be timbered on account

To Acquire More Property.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
IL has been understood in business cir
Giles for some time that the Frankels
and NJ. Rosenfield have been negotiat-
ing for the wilkins property and
though NJ. Frankel is authority for
the statement that no deal has been
completed and in fact no terms have
been agreed upon, it is generally said
that long term lease has been Sc
cured by them, dating from the ex.
piration OF the wilkins lease that still
has about two years 10 run. The
property, adjoining as IL does the Har-
ris-Emery store, makes IT OF great
value to them. Rumor has It that the
lease is for seventeen years.

of the jar caused by the passing of
cars and progress is necessarily slow.
In spite of the adverse conditions, ex-
cellent progress is being made and
as soon as the pipe is laid beyond
Market street the work will readily be
completed. Fifty feet of pipe were
put in Monday and thirty-two feet were
laid Tuesday.
Market street is practically closed
to traffic at the Sixth avenue intersec-
ton and it must so remain until the
point is passed

A Business Carnival?

Why not mold a business carnival in

a paying advertisement 1t is a sue
cess in other cities and would be
success in Oskaloosa. The parade OF
last Saturday was only indicative OF
the possibilities of such thing.
