Rescue Of Over 200
Miners Unlikely.
TWENTY FIVE ESCAPE
Brought Alive to Surface by
ResCuerS, Who Also Recover
Thirty-nine Bodies.

Dawson, N. NJ, Oct. 24.-Hundreds
OF mothers, wives and children press
ed the line of guards thrown about
the mouth of No. 2 Stag Canon mine
to learn the fate of approximately 200
men remaining in the workings, who
we're entombed by a terrific explosion.
Twenty-Five survivors and thirty-nine
dead have been taken from the mine.
Hundreds of men volunteered to pen

bris and filled with poisonous gases.

eft repeated hope voiced throughout
the night. Three living aen and
three bodies was the reward when the
air shaft finally was reached
Mine officials still insisted, how
ever, that others would be found
alive.
Number Buried Uncertain.
The officials in the work of rescue
were so absorbed in their work that
no check has been made on the num-
ber of men in the mine at the hour
OF the disaster and it seemed certain
that at least 230, perhaps more, were
entombed.
outside the relief work proceeded in
AN orderly manner. First attention
was given survivors and to the fami-
lies of the entombed men, then came
the task of identifying the dead.
Opinions as to the cause of the ex-
plosion differ 1t was first asserted
that black damp ignited and ex
ploded. Later the fact developed that
at this time of the year the mines In
the adjacent southern district of Colo
RADIO become dangerous from the
prevalence of coal dust, which no
amount of water seems able to keep
under control, and led to the belief
that the same conditions might have
caused the disaster.

air shaft, through which it had been
hoped that many miners might es

dead were found at this point.
During the all night fight with thu

AFFLICTING THE OFFENDERS

The following cases were disposed Of
in Judge Bells court Wednesday:
GLASGOW Haines, selling whisky, 800
and costs or four months.
Henry Wall, selling whiskey, 500
and costs or four months.
Muck Williams, selling whisky, 800
and costs or four months.
James Williams, petit larceny 500
and costs or six months.
F. Cuthbert, carrying pistol without
license, $25 and costs or three months
The case of Muck Williams is worthy
of special note. Muck was running
not only blind tiger but a moonshine
distilIery a few miles from WilIston,
just inside the Marion county line.
Muck had false floor in his smoke
house, and his still was a most ingen-
uous arrangement of jugs, cans and
tubes His brew smells more like
cornbread and molasses than booze,
but it brought the drunk all right.
Muck was captured by Deputy Wells.
His still is in Sheriff GaIloway's Of
fee, and is a curiosity. Uncle Sam
will want Muck when Marion county
is thru with him.

OCALA HOPES TO SEE THEM AGAIN

OcaIa is in love with the teachers
association and with a great many Of
the teachers.
The meeting Of the association has
been almost an ideal convention. If it
has been as pleasant 70 the visitors as
it has been to our own people, no more
needs to be said.
The teachers are a class Of people
that any city is glad to entertain.
Men and women of bright minds and
clean lives, their presence has been a
benefit socially and intellectually.
The city has also profited financial
~ Considering their incomes, the
teachers have been liberal spenders
and wise ones Not only the hotels
and boarding houses, but the soda
water, fcecream and candy stands
and the drygOods stores have done a
good business with them. Among the
results of their visit is the fact that
they have sent away thousands of
Ocala postcards, thus aiding to adver-
tise our city They have not bought
so largely Of "bitters" as some other
conventions, but Miss Willard, the
great apostle of the W. c. T. L., found
when she went to Europe that it was
healthy to fortify the drinking water
somewhat whenever she entered a
strange city, and enough of the
teachers have followed Mss Willard 5
example to keep Ed. and Rollie and
Maurice, ct ais, from being altogether
neglected.
1t hasn't been so very many years
ago since Ocala entertained a former
convention of the teachers, and the
Star hopes it will not be very many
years before we open our gates to
them again.

I'M Eools,. nax.

When freakish April lifts the latch
all wits and wags consider themselves
free to vent their nonsense upon the
victims whom they would fool by their
tricks. The gay Partisan calls such
April fish,: in bonnie Scotland on
this day they make merry hunting
the gowk," whilst in England and this
country a man keeps q sharp lookout
lest he be caught at a disadvantage BY
the Joker who glories in his smartness
if he only can make some n look
ridiculous. But it is Just as well not
to be too smart. The boomerang has
q wicked habit OF coming back. silly
as All Fools day custom may seem TO
the solemn. 1t has an ancient ancestry.
It's origin is obscure, but somewhere
from the far-off times when those old
Romans felt the lit OF the vernal eQui-
nox, and went on the spree accord
ingly, comes this rollick which still
trills forth its merry dirty In our
streets. Deeper still, the calm, con
templatiye Hindu, for some reason or
other, from time immemorial has gone
a-fooling on the first OF April. It was
probably from France, whence all
things yivacious come, that Europe got
the unruly itch for turning this day
into a comedy OF errors.
