powder in tunnel driven under the
mountain of Stag at the Ell Paso smell

Railroad, six men were killed and sew
en- injured. All were buried in the

twenty-five pounds each, and stick

The explosion occurred in tunnel
No. and caused Nos. and 3 to cave
in, but had no effect on No. 4. The
rescue work was all the more hazard
GUS because charges remained unex-
ploded in Nos. i, 3 and 4. Fully one
hundred persons were more or less
hurt by the flying fragments and thir-
ty-two houses were rendered unlnhab-
table. The explosion was undoubted-
ly caused by a match or cigarette.
Efforts of the rescuers at the Stag
dump of the Ell Paso smelter were d.
rected toward the release OF Eusivo
Aguillar, the only living man remain
ing in the Stag heap. Aguillar had
been pinned under a mass of, the Stag

Long Staple In Louisiana.

New Orleans.-A number of plant
ers on the lower coast of Louisiana
this year experimental with sea is
land cotton, with the result that it
has been found that the product can
be raised, and next year will see the
planting of that grade of cotton.
On the Jurgens plantation and
other big tracts, as we'll as along the
Mississippi River, sea island seed
was planted along the edge of the
drainage bitches and given no cultl-
vation whatever. The seed produced
immense stalks, some of which bore
as many as $50 bolls to the stalk.
These, when submitted to long staple
experts, were declared to be worth
at the rate of $4,000 bale.
While there is not large market
at present in New Orleans for sea
island cotton, cotton men say that
with the production one will be
quickly established. Next year sew
eral hundred acres will be devoted
to sea island cotton. This will offer
hope to the spinners, who have used
all the production afforded in this
country and are becoming more and
more alarmed over the diminishing
supply.

Weekly Cotton Review.

New Orleans.-The past. was short

lowing the close Saturday were triple

The range was ~ to 20 points on the
more active months. The high prices

Automobile Destroyed by Fire.

Napoleonville- automobile OF
District Attorney Philip Gilbert was
destroyed by fire. In the car were
Misses Lillian Dossat, Marie and
Emily St. Martin and Heloise Gilbert,

Isaac Morris, negro chauffeur. The at
tention of the occupants was attracted
in time and all escaped safely. 1t Is
believed the fire started by the cross
ing of wires running to the magnetic.
This is the second accident in a year

lost his car. Some time ago the same
chauffeur ran an automobile against

Skin Grating Successful.


New Orleans. In order to save the
life of his young son, Louis, who was
horribly burned at Waynesboro,
Miss. w. .Jss;.i Nssw Orleans man
ager for the Postal Telegraph and
Gable Comrany. permitted about 1870
square inches of skin to be taken
from him and applied to the wounds
OF the lad. The child is convalescing
and the physicians say that his re-
covery is certain. The child had been
dressed for bed and was standing in
front of CRATE fire when his night
gown became ignited. The mother
smothered the flames, but quick as
she was, the little fellow had been
horribly burned on almost the whole
OF one side. Manager Lloyd went to
Waynesboro Christmas Day to submit
to the skin grating ordeal.

SIX new GOVERNORS.
INAUGURATED, THREE DEMO-
Gratis, ONE REPUBLICAN,.
GOVERNOR DIx's ADDRESS
He is First Democratic Governor in
Eighteen Years-TaIk was on
Business and Economy.

SIX new governors, four of them rep
resenting different political parties
than their predecessors, were inaugu.
rated in the United States Monday In
three OF the states the changes repre-:
sent gains to the democratic ranks;
the fourth, Nevada, by the inaugura-
tiOn of Lasker L. Oddie, now has it's
first republican chief executive In.
nearly score of years..
TIE following are the states in which
new chief executives TOOK lne1r Old
ces:
New York-John Alden Dix, demo-
crat, succeeds Horace White, repuh-
lican. o
Wisconsin,. E. McGovern sue
ceeds James Davidson, both republi-
cans.
Michigan-Chase S. Osborne sue
ceeds Fred M. Warner, both republi-
cans
Wyoming M. Carr, demo
crat, succeeds B. B. Brooks, republi-
can.
Idaho-James H. Hawley, a demo
crat, succeeds ]. H. Brady, republi-
can.
Nevada-Lasker L. Oddie, a repubA-
can succeeds d. C. Dickerson, demo-
crat.
The Inauguration of Governor Os-
borne, on the other hand was marked
by extreme simplicity. He had ap-
pointed no military staff and assumed
his position in the parlor of the exc
cutive suite before only friends and
relatives.
Governor Dix said in part:
"The end of all government should
be the preservation of true liberty
the liberty which guarantees to every
man the fullest measure of individual
right consistent Win a proper main
tenance of the rights of others and
at the same time preserves and MAIN
tains the collective rights of all the
members of the state.
Under our constitution such liber-
ty We possess in New York. It must
be our constant aim so to strengthen
and extend the exercise of personal
and inalienable rights by the indivi-
dual as to bring to the state the great
est growth and highest development
of which our citizenship and resources
are capable. Z
"Great as are the public resources
Of our commonwealth, expenditures
have grown in a measure out of all
proportion to the revenue of the state
and We seem committed to an outlay
which will not alone tax to its full ex-
tent our income, but demand that we
draw upon the future in a way which,
in my opinion, is of very doubtful wis
dom.
During the past sixteen years those
in charge of the state government .
have discovered and turned to account
many sources of indirect taxation
whereby the attention of the great
mass of people has been directed from
the fact that our expenditures have
been growing out of all proportion to
our increase in population, resources
and wealth.
Frankly, we have reached point
where, for long time past, we have
been living beyond our means. The
pressing duty of the hour Is meas.
ure of reform and retrenchment that
will reverse the condition and restore
to us the healthy and normal positions
where we shall have something moro
than largely fictitious surplus.
"In my opinion, it is far better to
insist on Inconvenience and difficulty
in the public departments than to re
sort to an expenditure which will COM
pei return to direct taxation"
