2 EXPLOSION KILLS FIVE ON THE ■* Explosion Occurred While Target Practice Was in Progress Off Pensacola —Various Causes Are Assigned for the Explosion of Gun. Pensacola, Fla., April 9.—(Special.)— A most disastrous explosion occurred on the battleship lowa today while the ves sel was at target practice in the gulf. The forward port twelve-inch gun burst 1; om the premature explosion of a shell, twelve feet of the piece outside the tur ret being demolished. Three men were killed and five injured, two seriously. The killed are: First-Class Seaman KIELE. Ordinary Seaman PERCEIVE. Gunner’s Mate BERRY. The injured: First-class Seaman iGaugh. Ordinary Seaman Thursdale, Brown, Mansdale and Purucker. The seamen killed and injured were on the second or gun deck at mess. Three pieces of the exploded gun. each weigh ing over a ton. passed downward through the spar deck falling upon the men at mess instantly killing the three named. All of the men were horribly mutilated. The heavy missiles after passing through the gun deck continued down to the third deck, where they came in contact with the armored deck, the heavy steel bring ing thr-m to a stop, thus saving the en gineers and firemen who were at work below. Some claim the explosion was caused by a d"fective shell and others think that the frequent firing of the piece, at Culebra during the winter, with the work done here during the past ten days, so strained the piece that the force of the charge burst the gun. Had the explosion occurred five minutes later when over two hundred men would have ■been directly under the piece at mess the casualties would have been ten times as great. Gun Had Been Fired 125 Tinies. Pensacola, Fla., April 10. An investiga tion of the explosion on the battle ship lowa, which occurred in this port yes terday. resulting in the death of three and the serious injury of five others, shows that the accident was caused en tirely by a defective shell fuse, which, it is stated, burned faster than was cal culated. It is understood that the shell exploded fully sixty seconds before, it was timed to go off. An examination of the ship this morn ing shows that the bursted gun is beyond repairs, and that the 12-incli forward tur ret will have to bo repaired. A number of supporters are sprung ami it is stated that peril. ■ of the de. k will have to he replaced where pieces ot' the heavy gun tore through. Admiral O’Neil said today: The gun which burst was designed in ■J'-P.t. unii maniifaetur.il in 1895 .it the na val gun factory; Jantiarv 1. 1903, the gun had been fired 125 times.

Dr. Miles’ Nervine has been successfully tried m thousands of cases of nervous disor ders, but neverjias it made a better record than w hen used in the treatment of fits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in nearly every instance the writer has stated that the fits ceased after the first dose of Ner vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following: “Seven years ago mv wife commenced having spasms or fits and I called in tny home physician and he said she was para- Ivzed. He rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually got some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times verv severe. Her hands would cramp so we could not open them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked. Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Mlles’ Re storative Nervine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that I got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had a fit since taking the first dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles’ Nerve ami Liver Pills and is never without them.

THE WEEKLY INSTITUTION: ATLANTA, GA., MONDAI APRIL 13, 1903. ROOSEVELT SPOKE IN SNOW STORM Sioux City, S. D., April G—President Roosevelt began the second week of his tour feeling much refreshed from yes terday’s rest, and at 7:50 o’clock started on a drive over the city with Secretary Loeb. Senator Kittridge and Mayor Burn side. Despite the early hour and the dreary weather, the streets were lined with people who greeted the president with cheers and the waving of flu S’s. all J at 8:20 the president arrived at the big auditorium, where he addressed 4.000 children. As the president left the auditorium he was greeted with tremendous applaus... lie was driven rapidly to the stand, which had been erected at the corner of Ninth street and Phillips avenue, where u crowd of 6,000 people had assembled. The president was introduced by Sena tor Kittridge, .and spoke on "The Wage Worker and the Tiller of the Soil." During iiis speech snow began to fall, but the president was clad in a heavy overcoat and was well protected. Ho said he was glad to be again m the "Banana Belt," which remark created laughter. President Roosevelt said in part; "There are many, many lesser prob lems which go to make up in their en tirety the huge and complex problems of our modern industrial hte. Each of these problems is, moreover, connected with many of the others. Few indeed are simple or stand only by themselves. The most important arc those connected wilh the relation of the farmers, the stock growers and soil tillers, to the com munity at large, and those affecting the relations between the employer and em ployed. In a country like, ours it is fund atnentally true that the well being of the tiller of the soil and the wage worker is the well being of the state, if they are well off. then we need concern ourselves but little as t*> how other classes stand, for they will inevitably, be well off. too; and. on the other hAiid, there can be no real general prosperity unless based on the foundation of the prosperity of the wage worker and the tiller of the soil. "But the needs of these two classes arc often not the same. The tiller of the soil has been of all our citizens the one on the whole i he least affected in his ways of lit” and methods of industry by the giant in dustrial changes of the last half century. There has been change with him. 100, of course. Il'’ also can work t" best advau ta-ge if he keeps in el**se touch with bis follows; and the success of th” national department of agriculture Iris -liown how' much can bo iione tor him be rational ac tion of tin- government. Nor is it only through the department that the govern ment can act. One of the greatest and most beneficent measures passed by the last congress, or in leed bj an,'.' congress in recent years, is the irrigation act. which will do for the states of the great plains and the Rocky mountain region at least as much as • . hi- been done for the harbor improvements. Few mea mres that have been pul upon the statute books of HF’ nation have done more for the people than this law' will. 1 (irmly be lieve, directly and indirectly accomplish for the states in question Aid to Fruit Men. "Tlie department of agriculture lias been helping our fruit men to establish markets abroad by studying methods of fruit preservation through relrigoration and through methods of handling and packing. <>n the gulf <om ts of Eouisi ma and Texas, thanks to the department of agriculture, a rice suitable to the region w’as imported from the (trient and the rice crop is now praeti allv equal to our needs in this country, win re i. a few years ago it supplied 'nut ono-lourili o' them. The most important of "ttr larm products IS the grass crop; and to show what has been done with grasses. I need only to allude to th” triking change made in 'be entire west by the extended use of alfalfa. "Moreover, the department has taken the h ad in the effort io prevent the defor estation of the country Where there are forests we seek to pre.- rv. th”m; ami on the once treeless plains and the prairies we nre doing our best to foster the habit of tree planting among om- people. In my own lifetime I have seen wonderful chanpf' - ' brought about by this irr-f plant ing hero in your own suit*’ and In the states immediately around It. "Th* r*' arc a number **f ver.', important questions. «uch is that of go" 1 romls. with which tlm states alone e.m deal, and wh* re all that the n >ll ■>' ■' government is to <uh»pprat«‘ with them In-' same is true *'f the education of the American f irmer, A number of the stales have themselves started to help in 'his work and the department of agriculture doos an immense amount which is in 'he proper sen *■ of the word educ ition.il, and '. the most practica! way. Wage Workers in Cities. "But the wage workers In our cities, like the capitalists in our cities, face totally changed conditions. Th” develop ment of machinery and (he extraordinary change in business conditions have rin d( lf . d t] lP < mploy nient of capital and of persons in large aggregations not merel.v h'ut often necessary lor success, and have spe. iilizid the labor of the wageworker at th* same tim*- that they have brought great aggregations of wage-workers- to gether. More and more in our great in dustrial ■■ nters men have come to realize that they cannot live as independently ot one another as in the old days was tne case everywhere, and as is now the case in the country districts. “Os course, fundamentally each mall will yet find that the ehiel faei'T m determining his success or failure in fife is the sum of his own individual qualiti* s.

It Is not possible cHlpirii-ally to declare when the interference of tin- sl it, should bo deemed legitimate and when illegitimate. Child Labor Laws. “Wise factory laws, laws to forbid the employment of child labor and to safeguard the employees against the ef fects of culpable negligence by the em ployer. are necessary, not merely in the interest of the wage-worker, but in the interest of the honest and humane em ployer. who should not bo penalized for his honesty and humanity by being ex posed to unchecked competition with an unscrupulous rival. "Very much of our effort in reference to labor mailers should be by every device and expedient to try I" secure a con stantly bi’tti i iitid*--standing between em ployer and employee Everything possible should bo done to increase th” sympathy and fellow-feeling between them, and every chance taken to allow each to look at all questions, especially at questions in dispute, somewhat through tin- other’s eyi-s. If met with a sincere desire to act fairly by one another, and if there is, fur thermore power by • o il to appreciate the ether’s standpoint, th.- > bailee for trouble is minimized. I suppose every thinning man rejoices when by mediation or arbi tration it proves possible to settle troubles in time to avert the suffering and bitter ness caused by strikes. Moreover, a con ciliation committee can do best work when the trouble Xs in its beginning, or at least has not come to a head. When toe break has actually occurred, damage has been done, and each side feels sore and angry; and it is difficult to get them together. "When we d*-al with such a subject we are fortunate in having- before us an ad mirable object l.sson in the work that has just been closed by the Anthracite Coal Strike commission.

Still ibere are certain ways in which we can act Thus the secretary of the navy has c commended, witli my cordial anil hearty i approval, the enactment of a strong em ’ ployers’ liability law in the navy yards of • the nation.

He had traded with two of those ' Indians eighteen or twenty years ago. and ho instantly recognized them. The I chiefs presented an address and a pipe ■ of peace to the president, who had a ’ few words of greeting and thanks for : each man.

The special train arrived here during the early morn ing and" at 8:30 o’clock the reception committee waited on the president, ami after a brief and Informal reception at tie train, escorted him in carriages through the business portion of the city. One of the features was the welcome accorded by the children of the city, several thousand of whom were assem bled together where the president was able to greet them.

Roosevelt Lost to Public Cares. Cinnabar. Mont.. April X. President Boosevelt is in e fastnes of Yellow stone park and for the next sixteen days he expects to enjoy complete rest and cessation from public duties. He will be in almost daily communication witli Secretary Loeb, at t'lnnabar. but nothing except of the utmost importance will be referred to him. In company with John Burroughs, the naturalist, who accompanied him from Washington, Roosevelt will closely study the nature of the various animals that inhabit the park. The president has look ed forward to this outing for some time and he was in a particular happy frame of mind when he led the cavalcade into the park. Every trail leading into ,lle preserve is closely guarded and no one will be allowed to disturb the president s solitude. His headquarters will be at the home of Major Pitcher, superintendent of tlie park. A number of camps have been established in different localities and these will be occupied by the presi dent from time to time. The special train bearing the president and his party arrived at Gardn-n. train-.■ to the park, at 12:30 o clock this afternoon, and was met by a detachment of the Third cavalry and a number ot cowboys.
