the last issue of Our Country"
(out last Thursday over thorough
ly for a possible answer to The Her
AIDS editorial of April Sd, wherein
was repeated the question we had
asked twice before SIS or is not
Our Country a liquor organ, back
ell by the liquor interests" Each
OF its nine editorial articles was
headed with an appropriate cap
ton and all dealt with agricultural
matters ("Our Country's" alleged
mission) except one, which was
headed "Mr. Bryan's Attitude"
and purported to be an extract
from the Commoner correcting a
report that Mr.. Bryan would intro
duce a Prohibition resolution in
the Democratic National Conven-
ton. Upon this extract Our Coun-
try commented to the length of
column, taking its usual stand In
favor of promiscuous liquor drink
ing, until the very last paragraph,
which is as follows:
Our brother OF The Hart

ehewed up some by us on the
Bible side of the question, is
invited to take up this ques-
ton with US as soon as he can
get about without groaning."

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
And Five Men We're Entombed
in Coal Shaft at Mad.
isOnviIIe.

MadlSonVllie, N.Y., april Zl.-One
white man and four negro miners
were entombed in the mines of the
Coil Coal Company. just at the
northeast part Of this city, tonight,
following an explosion which shook
the city and was heard for many
miles. II is supposed to have been
an explosion of gas or of powder
The men in the mine are: Joe
Hollowell, white, aged 81, married,
one child, night pit boss, who was
in charge of the mine at the time
of the explosion; Charles New, mar
ried, miner; VIII Hughes, single;
Skip Light, single; Herbert Petree,
single. -
At exactly O'Clock tonight a
crew composed of the five entomb-
ed men was dropped to the bottom
of the shaft in the cage. Within
ten minutes the workmen on the
outside were stunned by a terrific
explosion and the air was full of
flying debris. A mass of flames
shot out of the mine shaft and the
air shaft. and for several minutes
the sound of rock and debris strik-
ing the ground could be heard
Hundreds of persons hearing the
explosion went to the scene at once
and Assistant Mine Inspector Long,
of darlington, came in an automo-
bile with helmets and other instru-
ments for entering the mine. 1t
was found that the machinery on
the top was out of. working order,
and one cage was blown TO pieces
The other cage was left intact.
No hope is entertained for the !
rescue of the entombed miners. |
Even if they were not killed in
stantly by the explosion, they prob
ably will have been suffocated be-
fore the mine will be entered early
Monday morning. Several mine
zen expressed the belief that the
explosion was due to dynamite, and
