THUI REPORTS THE CORONER' JURY
ill of the Twenty Bend Are to Have
a. Joint Funeral Service Today
at the Gipente of the
Company.
OSKALOOSA, la., Jan. 25. (Special Tele
gram.) The coroner's Inquest held over the
remain of the twenty miners hilled In the
dust explosion at the Lost Creek ooat mine,
aoutheait of this city, Friday afternoon,
was held this afternoon and a largo num
ber of witnesses was examined. Tha tak
ing of evidence occupied tho greater part
of the afternoon, The wlmesses Included
State Mine Inspector John Verner, who
had made a critical examination of the
wine during tho forenoon, and, the mlnera
In the pit at the time of the explosion
gava evidence,
Tho Jury returned a verdict to tho effect
that tho mon came to their death on ac
count of a duet explosion In tho mine,
caused by a shot fired by a miner named
Andy rash, one of thoso killed, Tho Jury
exonerated all parties concerned and held
no one to blnmo for the, accident and terri
ble loss of life.
The examination showed, that tho ex
plosion had occurred In therei'ltpart.,only;
and that the west entries were bifaffcrtcdl
Tho damage to property Is not so great
as was at first supposed. The list of dead
remains at twenty this evening. Eleven
of the survivors, who were badly Injured,
are being cared for by tho company and
are reported bettor. All but two will be
out In a short time. Ooorge Oogo nnd Oli
ver Mable are seriously hurt nnd their re
covery Is doubted.
The funerals of tho ftien will bo conducted
under the direction of the Lost Creek Coal
company, In tho public hall of tho mining
camps, Sunday afternoon, as ono service
Burials will bo In neighboring cemeteries.
All tho expenses of tho funerals nnd tho
attention to tho men1 are provided for by
the company.
John Zaebcr was tho only man on the
east sldo of tho mine who escaped with
his life. Eight mon wcro killed In the
room whore ho was. Ho stated that at tho
time of tho explosion ho heard several
shots In rapid succession, then a rumbling
noise like distant thunder, noxt a hissing
sound, and a great flamo of flro rushed
past him, the forco of tho flame knocking"
him forward, and he fell upon his face to
the ground. He realized nn axploslan had
occurred, but was able to scramble to his
feet and run to tho entry, and thence to the
haft, where ho was rescued. Ho was ren
dered 111, but made his way out to tho
surface. Nono of tho miners working on
tho wost sldo of the pit were Injured In
any ,wny. Tho force of tho explosion was
not great enough to carry the 'flamo to 'that
side.
Faulty Shot Cause Explosion.
Coroner Fohocllnger found tho dlsnstor
was caused by' an explosion of dust Ig
nited by a shot too heavily charged.
It proved to be what .miners call a
"screamer," or a "squealer." To bo more
clear,' the shot when exploded, Instead of
knocking down tho coal, Arcs straight out
Into the room. Thla kind of a shot causes
much duat, and, the flames coming Into
contact with the dust, usually furnishes an
explosion. '
In tho acctdent of yesterday tho effect
was simply terrific. Tho tracks were torn
up and tho guides for tho cages" were blown
away; On this account they could not be
operated for three hours. The fans wero
also damaged and could not be used. All
th doors wero blown completely out and
no system of ventilation could bo arranged
until the doors -were replaced by volun
teers and It was almost certain doath to
go Into tho mine. As soon as' the cages
could bo operated volunteors speedily
stepped forward. The first man to enter
the mine was Jap Timbrel), general super
intendent of the mine. Ho was eagerly
followed by "many others, who took their
turns In going to the relief of tho victims
As soon as the mlno was fully explored
'twenty dead bodies were, found.
Coroner Fohoellnger of Oskaloosa was on
the ground,, took charge of the bodies, and
caused them to be taken to the company's
tore, about a mile distant. Here an Im
provised morgue was established and the
bodies were received wrapped In blankots.
The coronor did not deem It advisable to
expose them' to tho view of the crowd.
The mint) has been successfully operated
a number of years. The shaft whero the ac
rliUnt occurred la No. 2 and haa been op
erated about eighteen months and U was
thought perfectly safe. The ventilation Is
perfect, the only possible fault ever found

IN DOUBT REGARDING ACTION
Hub-Comiiilttcr Investigating; Kllllng-
of Filipino Prliiniicra Defers
Decision.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. The subcom
mittee of the eenato committee on pensions
which hos been engaged for the past week
In making an Investigation Into tho charges
against General Wilder S. Metcalfe, who
has been nominated for the ofuco of pension
agent at Topc$a, Kan., probably will make
a partial report to the full committee at
Its meeting next Monday. 41
The subcommittee finds Itself In somo-
what pf a quandary because of the con
flicting nature of the testimony that has
been adduced. This conflict Is not entirely
confined to different Individuals, but In
somo cases the samo person makes affi
davits on both sides of tho controversy.
Because of this condition the subcommit
tee is In doubt whether to ask for further
time for Investigation or to report tho facta
aa far as they are developed, leaving the
full committee to deal with the case.
The conclusion so far reached Is that the
Filipino prisoners were certainly killed and
that no steps were taken to punish those
who killed them, but that General, then
Major, Metcalfe, did not know of the killing
until after It had ocourred.
NO PLEBISCITE AT PRESENT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. The Danish gov
eminent will not take the plebiscite of
the (Danish West Indian Islands to deter
mine whether they Bhall be ceded to the
United States until tho United States sen
ate has ratified the treaty of cession signed
yesterday. This circumspection Is supposed
td be the outcome of tho senate'B action' in
rejectng a former treaty of cession after
Denmark bad accustomed the Islanders to
the Idea of transfer.
ST, THOMAS, D.' W. I Jnn. 25. The an

Convention la Urged to Petition Con
Kress for Irrigation Facilities
for Lands of the Arid,
Went.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 23. At today's ses
sion of tho United Mine Workers' conven
tion President Mttchctl announced special
committees "on Chlncso exclusion" and "r.n
organization and care of miners In dis
tricts 2, 5, 19, 20 and 23."
Tho committee on resolutions first re
ported a resolution to the effect that all
employes In national and district office?
shall bo sons or daughters of mlno workers
In good standing. Tho committee reported
the resolution again and It was sustained
by the convention.
A resolution was reported that no em
ploye of a national or dlBtrlot office shall be
discharged without notlco of the cause of
dismissal'. The committee also sub'mlttcd,
with a refusal to concur, a resolution pre
pared by Delegate John P. Reese, president
of tho Iowa district, to the effect that tho
aletrlct of Iowa bo permitted 'to take part
In the Interstate Joint conference between
miners and operators to be held In 1904.
Operator Not Onyoscd.
It Is said by delegates that the operators
of the Iowa district are not opposed to
having tho Iown minors take a, part In the
Joint conference, but that F. L. Robblns,
ono of the most Influential operators of the
east, Is opposed to letting tho Iowa min
ers In.
John P. Ilecse, president of the Iowa dis
trict, made a forcible speech In favor of
admitting Iowa. He said it was' only the
powerful opposition of Robblns that kept It
out. Tho mlno workers wero strong enough
he said, to dictate to the othore, and not
to bo dictated to by a slnglo man.
Illinois delegates took Reese's side In the
argument and argued strongly In favor of
letting Iowa Into tho Joint conference.
Tho only opposition to the resolution In
the convention enmo from Vipo President T.
L. Lewis, who flalrt he did not believe tho
present situation demanded the admittance
of Iowa or that tho state of the organiza
tion depended on the admittance of tho
state. The discussion of the resolution was
not finished, but was continued until Mon
day.
Georgo H. Maxwell of Chicago, executive
chairman-of the national Irrigation associ
ation, was Introduced by President Mitchell
nnd addressed ,the convention on the ne
cessity of tho labor organizations of the
country uniting In a demand that congress
tako steps toward Irrigating tho groat arid
lands of tho west for the purposo of saving
the lands for homes. Ho spoke against let
ting vast tracts of western land to capital
ists who, he said, fenced It in and held It
for a long period of years.
PLEADING FOR THEIR RIGHTS
Pacific Coast People Declare Chinese
Exclusion la Essentlnl to llus-
Iness Safety,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26. When the for
eign affairs committee of the bouse today
resumed Its hearings on tho subject of tho
re-enactment of tho law prohibiting tho
coming Into this country of Chinese, 'it was
Informed that if it had, not been under
stood fully by tho people of the Pacific
coast In the last national congress that
Chinese would be excluded by a republican
administration and by a republican "con
gress, California's electoral vote would
have been cast for Mr. Bryan.
This statement was made by E. J. Liver
nosh, assistant manager of .the San Fran-,
ctsco, Cal., Examiner. He appeared, before
the committee In support of tho Kahn bill
tor tho exclusion of the Chinese, which It
appeared In the course of his statement he
'had a part In preparing.
In the course of his argument Mr, Liver
nash particularly supported tho section of
the proposed, act which prohibits the com
ing of Chinese into this country from the
Philippines or other insular possessions of
the United States.
Ho reerred to tho flood of petitions
which has been poured upon congress In
favor of a more liberal treatment of the
Chinese, and declared that for congress
to listen to such' petitions would be simply
to assist the exploitation of tho Philippine
Islands by Europeans and cause us toMose
sight of the commercial future of the
islands as an American possession.
Mr. Livardash Insisted that the people of
California In this matter were pleading
not for a privilege, but for a right. Thro
peoplo of .tho Pacific, coast were partlcu
arly interested, because they looked toward
China and toward the Chinese In tho Phil
ippines with apprehension and suspicion.
Mr. Llvernash asserted that the breaking
down of the Chlnose exclusion law was
urged particularly by the Canadian Pacific
railroad and tho Pacific Mall Steamship
company. He strongly urged the committee
not to accept as disinterested tho exparta
statements of these corporations, which, ho
said, wero financially Interested In the Im
migration qt, Chinese. '
Samuel Oompera of the American Federa
tion of Labor, In a brief statement to tho
committee, sold the labor of the country
did not Insist upon any action by congress
which, In any way, would reflect upon the
honor, good name or dignity at thorUnlted
States. v '

Brings Smiles to Women
' Thousands of women arc heroically MitTerin j in silence while even relatives never guess the real
truth about their condition. It is a living death to an ambitious woman to see her beauty fade and
realize that slowly and surely, day by day. she is nearer an untimely grave, to know that the pangs of
suffering are not only blighting her beauty but exhausting her physical strength and nervous and
mental vitality. No hope comes from the doctor because he cannot cure tittle sympathy from friends
because they do not understand, but Wine of Cardui has brought a smile the seal of health to
thousands of such faces. The Wine. regulates the menstrual flow and strengthens the womanly organs.
The relief from it comes quickly and naturally. A delightful feeling of security from the tension of
pain tells the patient health is returning. Mrs. Turner suffered five years and no doctor could cure her.
WINEorCARDUI
brought a speedy cure. You may be cured as well as she if you will secure a $1.00 bottte of Wine of
Cardui from your druggist Do not buy a substitute. It was Wine of Cardui which cured Mrs. Turner.
