for cities. the adoption Of which many
Keokuk people favor and upon which
The citizens Of Keokuk will vote
within short time, was explained
very fully last evening at the opera
house by representatives from the
only two cities in Iowa which are
uperating under it. The mayor of Des
Moines, A. j. Mathis and one of the
commissioners from Cedar Rapids, E.
A. Sherman, were the speakers and
each one gave a very interesting talk,
which was listened to with great at
tention by those present.
The Gate City has published num-
Der Of descriptions OF the plan during
the past few weeks and readers OF this
paper are rather familiar with the
operating method Of the scheme. but
ii was explained more in detail by the
two speakers of last evening.
From, Des Moines.
Mayor Mathis said in part:
Granting that the United States has
thrilled the world by practically all
its undertakings, we are forced to
admit that until recently we have been
deplorably weak in our administra-
ton Of municipal government.
Unsatisfactory conditions appear to
be peculiar to no particular city. Even
President Taft recently said:
The one conspicuous failure in
America is our municipal govern
merit
Il have in my letter files at home
two or three thousand letters coming
from all parts OF the union, from all
the cities and many of the smaller
towns, the author of each seeking in
formation that may assist him in Sc
curing a better government for his
cttg
"From dill points of the compass
comes the appeal: How may we I'M
prove our city governmental"
/ Mayor Mathis then mentioned the
hundreds of thousands of men many
Of them competent, he engaged
4 IN the work of municipal government
He said that these men are not to be
blamed for the bad conditions in Amer
ica's city governments.
He attributed the bad conditions tc
the system OF governments in use
and this was the keynote of his ad
dress.
"The people are getting down to the
root Of the evil" he said and are
learning that before we entrust thu
multitudinous affairs Of a city to ;
body Of men, the men must have some
thing with which to work. We mus
reserve for ourselves the privilege o
ousting them IL they do not do thei
work well. That is all there is t
/ good city government. Crack tina

The Des Moines Plan, or commits

solve all municipal Ills. But it solve
many OF them. 1t has wonderfully I'm

Emperor Of China Lost His
Life Through TrGdCheTy
A PARTICIPANT REVEALS ALL
Yuan Shi Kai Said to Have Been
Prime Mover, Fearing For His Own
Safety Because of impending Death
of Dowager mpress-Execution of
Responsible Parties Demanded by
Reform Association

hGTOTI0
New York, Jan. 13.-The Chinese
Reform association, having quarters
here, received a long cipher cable
dispatch from Hong Kong, confirm
ing the statement that the late en-
peror of China had met an unnatural
death
The dispatch states that before the
late empress dowager's death the
question of choosing an heir pre-
sumptive was pending. Yuan Shi
Kai strongly urged the dowager
empress to select the eldest son OF
Prince Ching, but the prince denied
this request.
This refusal, and the impending
death of the dowager empress, led
Yuan Shi Kai to believe that Emperor
Kuang Shu soon would regain his
power and deal summarily with those
who subordinated him to the empress
dowager
The dispatch states that Chinese
physician, a native of the province
of Fukin, thereupon was commits
stoned to put the emperor out of the
way.
The plot was carried out, accord
ing to the dispatch, and has since
been revealed by one of the partici-
pants, named Ching Sa Zen, who has
made his escape to Japan.
The foregoing dispach and other
cipher information received by the
Chinese Reform association has led
them to vigorous action within the
last few days, and a number of
cable dispatches have been forwarded
by them to Prince Chun, Minister
Rockhil and the Chinese minister
of war.
The dispatch to Prince Chun as
serts that the emperor was poisoned
through treachery and asks for the
summary execution of the responsible
parties, warning him that otherwise
people will hold him responsible and
will revolt.
The dispatch to Minister Rock
hill expresses qualification at the dis
missal of Yuan Shi Kai, and asks
him to have Prince Chun make public
to the world the charges against Yuan
Shi Kai.
The dispatch to the minister of wal
asks him to memorable the throne
for summary action against those re-
sponsible for the emperors death
warning him of a popular uprising
unless action is taken.

rom the MAIN Entrance
Bluefeld, w Va. Jan. 13.-Again
there was a terrific explosion in the
mines of the Lick Branch colliery,
and more than one hundred lives
were lost 1t was in these same
mines two weeks ago to a day that
fifty miners were killed by a similar
explosion.
In the quiet of the early morning
there came like the sound of thunder
mighty rumbling from the mines
which reverberated along the miles of
corridors and air-passages crowd
ed with those who work there, while
from the mine mouth there came a
cloud of flame, SCOT, dust and de-
bris, heavy timbers, broken mine
cars and even a massive motor used
to haul the heavily laden cars from
the depth.
Scarcely had the defamation died
away before a throng of terrorized
women and children rushed to the
mine mouth and implored those there
save some of their loved ones who
might still be alive within.
The explosion was in a different
part of the mine from that of two
weeks ago. Since that catastrophe
the mine had been inspected by gov
eminent officials and by the most
experienced mine men in the region
and all, it is said, expressed the
opinion that it was safe.
A late estimate of the number of
men entombed is more than 100. That
all of them are dead there can be no
doubt. The force Of the explosion,
the fire in the mine and the deadly
gases preclude any chance that any
of the men are alive.
The main entrance of the mine is
five miles long, running from one
side of the mountain to the other.
Debris also was blown from both en-
tries, which gives some idea of the
! force of the explosion. The fans
were not disabled and are forcing
! fresh air into the mines
State Mine Inspectors Phillips and
Nicholson are at the mine and are
directing the work of rescue. Crews
have been formed and are venturing
in as far as the air is pure enough
to breathe.
Bystanders at the time of the eX-
| ploSiOn say that immense clouds oil
SCOT and smoke gushed out of the
mine almost simultaneously with the
| detonatiOn and Immediately were
sucked back in enormous volumes to
/ the mine.
On the Tug river side, four miles
| from the main entrance, the smoke
and flames gushed from the entry
burning the twigs and small limbs
from trees that grew near. The
damage to the mine cannot be esti-
mated.
The explosion was the most terrific
/ that has ever occurred in this region
! In 1851, at the South West Virginia
Improvement company mine, 3GC
were killed in an explosion Tues
days horror is the most disastrous
that has occurred since. The mine
is owned by the Pocahontas Consoli-
dated Galleries company.

What the Kidneys Do
Their Unceasing Work Keeps u
 Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes The kidneys filter the blood. They work night and day. When heal thy they remove abont 800 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy, some part of this impure matter is left in the blood. This brings on many dis eases and symptoms in the back, headache, nervousness, hot, dry skin, rheumatism, gont, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, ir- regular heart debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc. But if you keep the filters right you will have no trouble with your kidneys.
 G. M Goodhne, Bisbee Ariz., says: "I suffered severely from kidney trou- ble. My back ached as badly at night as during the day and when l got mp in the morning, was lame and stiff. If l took cold, it settled in my kidneys and then my trouble became worse 1 consulted physicians, but they were

CORDOVA SINKING IN THE MIAMI
 SCH|ST
ROCK CARRIES ONE AND ONE HALF PER CENT coPPER-vAL-
 UEs SHOULD INCREASE

Sinking at the Sullivan shaft of the Cordova property has been somewhat delayed recently by the presence of enough water to interfere with the men at work In the absence of any pumps, 1t has been necessary to bail out the water bv hand, but now small sinking pump capable of handling six gallons minute. if necessary, IS being installed and boiler is being put in to furnish power. The flow of water is of no ap- preciable consequence. but is large enough to make work without pump disagreeable for the drill men. The six gallon pump will prove more than ade' quate for handling the water, and work should go ahead at rapid rate as soon as it is installed The task of putting in this pump will not take more than two or three days,
 The chances of the Sullivan shaft striking the Inspiration ore body at a depth of 800 feet are regarded as ex- cellent. The shaft struck the Miami sehist at 3G0 feet and has been in it constantly down to the present 39O foot point. This schst carries from 1A to lls per cent copper and II IS thought certain that the values will in crease with greater depth just as they have in the Joe Bush shaft of the In spiration. Copper glance occurs in specks in the rock in which the shaft is sinking
 Just as is the ease in the schist at the Miami mine the values of the ore at different depths are, of course, not uniform. The assays made there show returns of from IF to , per cent, but the average at Miami is found to be about 2a, per cent. In similar man ner. the assays at the Sullivan shaft of the Cordova are made with view to determining the average value which the ore carries, and this, so far, has been found to be between lh and l1. per cent in copper.
 When the Sullivan shaft reaches a depth of 500 feet. level will he es- tablished and crosscuts will be run to explore the ground thoroughly with ev- cry probability of large body of com mereial ore being developed at that depth.

GROWTH OF GLOBES MINES

ton by means of crosseuts cutting the property into 200 foot squares is being carried out by strong force of men in charge of Superintendent Maybush. Since the completion of the sulphide tunnel and ifs connection with the drift running from the vertical shaft, access to the mine is had through the tunnel and an the ore taken out in develop ment work is also brought to the sur fagc through this passage,
 So far, the work at the Live Oak on the 200 level is more than iustifying the belief of the management that a large lenticular body of sulphide com mercial ore may be developed by the series of crosscuts planned. Northwest from the shaft a crosscut has been run out for l50 feet, and in the face of this, there is sulphide ore averaging , per cent copper This crosscut runs m the same general direction as the long sul. phide tunnel mentioned, so that, virtu- ally, the crosscut is an extension of the tunnel. From q point in the tunnel o0 feet southeast of the shaft to the end of the l50 foot crosseut running north west from the shaft continuous sul- phide ore body has been found averag- ing 2;S per cent copper.
 As shown by the assays from the race of the crosseut, the grade of the ore IS constantly getting better, and if the crosscut continues in this quality of ore for the entire distance of some. thing over 500 feet for which it IS yet to be run, sulphide ore body will have been developed sufficient to assure inc future of the Live Oak as q paying producer for years to come will have been developed.
 The lateral running east from the sulphide tunnel at a point about loo feet from the shaft is now in about 95 feet
 Thursday change of ground was en. countered. The new material con tains chalcopyrite, copper glance and other substances and the assays of specimens run about two per cent in copper.
 From the stopes of the old drift on the Live Oak property, which was run before the present owners came into possession. samples of silicate ore run ming as high as eight and nine per cent have been taken recently. The chief endeavor at the Live Oak now, how ever, is to open up large body of suI' nhide ore, and in this the management is having thorough success as IS shown bv the result of the recent develop ment work in the erosscut running northwest from the shaft. Before long, other crosscuts will be begun to prove up this sulphde ore body in other diree' tions and there is every reason to be- lieve. from the indications shown, that the Live Oak sulphide commercial ore zone will be found 10 have an extent fulfilling every expectation of its own CTS.

INSPIRATION SHOWS GOOD SAMPLES
 IN SHAFT
HIGH GRADE ORE AT Seo FEET IN JOE BUSH SHAFT IS EN
 CoURAGING TO MANAGERS
WATER FLOW HAS INCREASED
STEAM SHOVEL PROPOSITION TO BE DECIDED ON DEVELOP
 MENTS AT DEPTH

A force of so men in charge of Sup erintendent Shovlin is rushing the de- velopment work on the Inspiration prop erty at it's usual rapid rate. The Joe Bush shaft is now down to depth of 400 feet and for the last 25 feet, it has been in ore averaging 3la per cent copper Grab samples from the dump, of which assays were made Friday, showed a copper percentage Of 3.55. At a depth of 800 feet the Joe Bush shaft cut Assure of high grade ore about foot wide, This Assure shows some native copper
 The flow of water in the Joe Bush shaft has increased considerably in the past two weeks and a pump station will be cut in about week on the 100 lev el In the meantime, l0.foot stump will be put down. As the work on the shaft is going forward in the absence of pumps to handle the work, fully one half of the time is spent in bail. ing. About 560 gallons a day are he ing taken out in buckets. A Knowles station pump will be put in, and with this it will be possible to handle fully ,O0O gallons a day, if necessary.
 As soon as the pump Is installed, erosscutting north, east, south and west will be bgun on the 400 level. IL IS estimated that each of these erosscnts will be begun on the 400 level. It IS Crosseutting in four directions at thus rate will probably work the hoist now in use nearly to it's capacity, but it is believed that it will prove equal in handling all the ore. With erosscutting going forward at this rate, fairly good estimate of the extent of the part of the Inspiration ore body near the Joe Bush shaft should be available within two months.
 The new Scorpion shaft was started on the Inspiration property last Sun day and is now down about 10 feet. This shaft is located about 2,4OO feet northwest of the Joe Bush shaft and near ehurn drill hole number five from which samples assaying 46 per cent copper were taken. A windlass was erected at the Scorpion shaft yesterday and the necessary timbering has been done. The single drop hoist, now To- cated on the Black Copper group of claims. will be moved to the Scorpion shaft in few days. This hoist has a 22 horse power engine and is capable of sinking to depth of 1000 feet. The Scorpion shaft is now in copper ear bonate. which forms large part of the cappng on the Inspiration proper tv It is estimated that it will strike the large ore body at depth Of 2OO feet. This shaft has two compartments. One of these is pump compartment Al, feet wide by feet long and the working compartment is feet wide by A., feet long. It will thus be pos sible to make double compartment shaft of the Scorpion at any future time when it may be considered neces- sary
 General Manager George F. Gum and Consulting Engineer Henry Krumb of the Inspiration Mining company were at the mine couple of days last week. NIT. Gum was very much pleased at the indications brought to Eight by the de
