MANY DEsERTIONs IN ARMY.
Annual Report Shows That 1898
Men Deserted Past Fiscal Year.

Continued extensive assertions In
the United States army during the
last fiscal year forms the leading
feature of the annual report Of Ad'
jutant General Ainsworth. Aftel
showing that 4.993 men deserted
from the enlisted force of the regu'
lar army, General Ainsworth conclud-
es that only q strict enforcement OF
severe penalties will diminish ma
terially the practice Of taking
French leave" Of the soldiers.
He regards as rather alarming the
fact that the number OF assertions
during the last fiscal year was greater
than in the preceding II months
Of the whole number of enlisted men
4.97 per cent deserted during the
last fiscal year, while the assertions
Of the preceding year amounted tc
4.59 per cent. General Ainsworth
says the abolition Of the canteen'
the m%onotony of GARRISON life, the
increasing amount Of work and study
demanded Of a soldier, and the ease
with which remunerative employ
ment can be obtained in civil life
in these prosperous times are causes
of the evils mentioned.
The percentage Of assertions
among the white troops Is about ten
times greater than among the COL
ored men In the service. OF the men
who deserted during the year, l.
013 were apprehended and 316 ur-
rendered.

Their Work Of Love.
A dispatch from Cherry, ILL.,, says
the dark tomb Of the Cherry mines
has been conquered. After an all
night battle in clearing the shafts
Of the burning mine, three bodies,
the first recovered through the main
shaft, were brought to the surface at
8 o'clock Saturday morning.
In~spectators and geological ex-
perts, while penetrating the dismal
depths, fighting the smouldering fire
In the coal veins, caught sight of
piles Of other charred bodies. but
their passage was hampered by fire.
At 6 o'clock Saturday morning q
group of miners and railroad mel
entered the mine, working without
oxygen helmets, but there was no
suffering from noxious gas. Strug-
Cling through the dark tomb,
the fremen discovered In the second
vein a pile Of bodies, from which
three were recovered.
The east portion Of the gallery,
where the fire originated, is badly
caved in. The west portion OF the
gallery is still afro, but ,fremen
with hose got within 80 feet Of the
vein.
Fireman O'Connor and many 9th
or fremen from Chicago. fighting the
underground flames, emerged from
the main shaft declaring that they
believed that the fire would be ex-
tinguished before many hours. They
saw many piles Of human bodies
buried In the wreckage of the gal
lery running from the main shaft
to the air vent. They also saw bod
les lying in heaps In the west vein
where the fire is still raging.
Mine Inspector Taylor, who Thurs
day declared that he would enter
the mine or die In the attempt, spent
the night in the mine, and gave a
gruesome account Of the piles OF hu.
man bodies sighted, but impossible
to reach. Inspector Taylor sent
workmen into the mine to repair
the east vein, the approach timbers
having burned.
Another body Of volunteers was
sent later today into the mines. On
the second trip Of the cage, four
other bodies, one that Of a boy,
we're brought to the surface. An
ambulance, guarded by militiamen,
was followed by crowds to the town
hall, a temporary morgue.
Here scores Of grief-stricken, Sob
bling widows sought TO identify the
bodies as their own husbands, but
the condition of the bodies render
ed Identification difficult.
Crowds Of grief-stricken men, wo-
men and children formed a great
circle about the bodies brought from
the mines. Many turned away, un-
able to bear the cries Of the bereav-
ed wives and mothers. Three bodies
were identified: Richard Buckles, a
stable boy; Louis Gibbs, George Nc
Mullen. The condition Of the bodies
recovered indicates that the mel die1

A special dispatch to The News
and Courier from Denmark says
train wreckers are responsible for
the derailment of the south bound
mail train on the Seaboard Air Line
Railway. which passed Denmark at
1:45 o'clock Thursday morning. the
death Of two men, q negro fireman
and a white tramp. the injuries sus-
tanned by Engineer Poteat. the shak-
ing up Of the passengers and the
destruction Of the engine.
The tran was In charge of Con-
ductor Harry Butler and Engineer
Poteat. While going down grade
Just before reaching a curve, two
miles south of this place, Thursday
morning, the engineer saw just
ahead the end OF a rail turned in

blowing its way along the ties until
it was completely wrecked.
The engineer was hurled through
the top of his cab for quite a dis
lance. In his fall he sustained a
broken nose and several bruises, but
was not seriously hurt. The negro
fireman and O white tramp, who is
supposed to have been riding on the
cow catcher, were instantly killed,
the body Of the fireman being burned
70 a crisp when removed from the
wreckage, and that Of the tramp
badly scalded. The baggage master
and express messenger were bruised
up, but were not seriously injured.
None Of the passengers were hurt.
Besides the engine. the mail, bag
gage and one passenger coach left
the rails and were thrown across
the track. The other coaches were
loose from the trucks but did not
leave the rails. After the wreck
Investigation revealed the fact that
two rails had been removed, q crow
bar, a large wrench and a bottle of
kerosene oil, which had been used
TO loosen the nuts where the rails
are joined, being found at the side
Of the track.
The accident occurred not far
from the camp Of the Bamberg Coun-
ty chain gang, where bloodhounds
are kept. and the dogs were soon on
the scene. They Immediately took
up the scent and followed the trail
into the corporate limits of Den
mark, where 1t was lost. Detectives
arrived on the scene Thursday and
are securing the region for clews
that will lead to the detection of
the guilty parties.
1t Is believed that the wreckers
are the same ones that caused the
wreck of the same train at Otside,
Just a few miles further south only
a few months ago. The wreck Thurs
day morning vas more disastrous
in that two lives we're lost and the
damage was greater. Conductor But
Ter was also in charge Of the train
that was wrecked On the previous
occasion.
The detectives who are working
on the case claim to have their sus-
picions, but they refuse to say any
thing for publication. 1t Is inti-
mated, however, that very probably
the motive was vengeance, as some
of the officials Of the road were on
the train.
Engineer Poteat was in the wreck
between Swansea and Sweden six or
sever years ago, when two passeng-
err engines collided.

Bond Issue is Given Almcs, Unanimous Won :
Maintenance Tar Also Carries.

In a recent election held in
Plainview for the purpose of de
termining whether or not bonds
in the amount of $4,000 should
be issued for the purpose of
erecting new high school build.
ing. there was polled against the
bonds the total numb Der of three,
the proposition carrying by an
immense majority. 1t was also
decided that the trustees should
have the power of levying and
collecting maximum tax of fifty
cents on the 500. valuation of
taxable property for the support
and maintenance of the public
schools there.
Speaking of the matter the
Plainview News has the follow
ing TO say:
Already the board has plans
from number of architects
either of which if properly car
ried out would give US high
school building that would be
credit to any city. Also the
Board of trustees has option on
some lots that are in the very
heart of the city. No time will
be lost in securing the location
and floating the bonds so that
excavations can be made at the
earliest possible date. 1t is the
purpose of the Board to push
the work as fast as possible.
The second proposition was
very important one. Heavy ex-
penSeS will of necessity be in
Cured next year The faculty
must be increased. in fact dis
burSments along all lines will be
much greater in the future. To
meet these expenses the funds
must be increased and to increase
the funds it was absolutely com
pulsory on our part to increase
the taxes for the district.
The News wishes in this con-
nection to place its stamp of ap-
proval upon the action of those
who went to the ballot box Sat
urday and voted in favor of bet
ter schools for our town. This
is the enterpriSing spirit that
makes towns and cities. Such
enterprise will make Plainview
a city noted for her educational
facilities. 1t will pay any town
to look well to her schools.

Opposes City Bond Issue.

Editor News:
The writer, as he sees it, has
ever been in favor of necessary
and substantial public improve
mentS. If not the first he was
one of the foremost to advocate
the incorporation of the town,
the issue of bonds for the cree
ton of the brick school buildings;
also for our magnificent court
house now nearing completion.
He has stood by and been an
active and contributary member
of the commercial club of the
town from its very first being,
some five years ago, until its
membership dwindled down to
less than a bakers dozen and
its calls were answered by less
than the scriptural two or
three. - This past individual
account is cited only for the pur-
pose of showing that, if a knock
err now against public enterprises
as some charge, It's a recent
birth in his case. He has always
spoken in meetin' when pres
ent in the flesh. and he now,
thru the columns of the News,
with the best of feeling toward
those who see tit TO differ with
him rises to question the wis
dom and justice, under present
conditions, of bonding Canyon
City in the sum of $50, ZOO for
the purpose of securing a water.
works and sewerage system for
the use of part of the town
Only-when all must foot the bill.
The proposition, still embryo,
however, contemplateS, with re-
ference to the waterworks, only
two mains running east and
west, presumably down Houston
or the street north of Houston
or, maybe Evelyn street; these
mains, (only two) to be crossed
by three other lines or mains,
one at either end or near there
and the center one about the
public square. From this it will
readily be seen that only a por-
ton of the town can be anything
like conveniently served with
waterwOrkS. All, however, must
assist in paying the price. But
it is argued by those who favor
4 the proposition that this is only
start" and that after awhile
the mains will be extended so as
to serve ALL" This is, indeed,
an excellent solace as far as it
goes, but when we come to con-
slider that to obtain this good
beginning the town must of
necessity be bonded to the limit
allowed by the state constitution
