Rock, in this county, has solved
TIE water question. He has ex-
perienced great difficulty this sea-
son in properly irsigating his crops,
and finally came 20 the conclusion
to find water IN the mountains ii
possible. He accordingly started a
tunnel at the base Of Red Rock
mountain and after going distance
OF forty feet tapped a vein from
which spouted a stream OF water
which soon filed the tunnel.
The water came in such force and
quantity that he experienced a
great difficulty in reaching a place
of safety. The stream is steady

SAVING THE EYE-sIGHT.
How TO Keen the Eyes In a Strong aud
Healthy Condition.

A blind person is the most pitiable
object in the world. Deafness is an an
noying aflllction and leads TO dumb
ness, but such persons can make a liv.
Ing in many occupations, the blind
person Is either reduced to beggary or
ONE p~oorly-paid trade like basket
making. Therefore 1t is important that
great care should be taken of the eyes.
In reading, the book or paper should
be held at Il distance of from ten to
fifteen inches from the eyes. The
readers position should be such that
the light may fall on the book and not
on the eyes. The light itself should be
sufficient. Nothing is so injurious to
the eyes as poor light in reading.
Next to sunlight, the incandescent
light gives the best illumination for
reading, and all the notions Of the in
furious effect on the eyes Of the electric
light are erroneous.
Nearly every body reads while riding
in the cars. This should be avoided, las
the jolting and shaking OF the tram
causes a great strain to the eyes, and
will surely injure the sight.
AT the first symptom of near-sighted-
ness, spectacles should be worn. There
is a great deal of popular prejudice
against spectacles, but there are two
good reasons why they should be worn,
and only two. One is that vi may see
better, and the other that the strain on
the eyes may be relieved.
The near-sighted child should wear
spectacles, because they are the best
preventive against increase Of near
si~ghtedness, and also because he loses
a great part of his education iii not be-
ing able to see more than a few feet
away.
The vast majority Of people who veal
glasses can see as well without them.
They use them to avoid a constant
strain on the eyes. The act OF focali-
zation is a muscular IL and uses up
nervous energy.
The over.sighted eye, in which the
focus comes behind the retina, has to
perform this muscular act continually.
The results are headache, irritability
and nausea. The only remedy in such
cases is to wear glasses.
For eyes in a healthy state there is
but n safe wash---pure cold water.
When the eye-lids are intamed, the
best lotion is a weak solution of salt
and water. Never apply poult!ces to
the eyes or use ''eye-waters" without
the advice of a physician.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT
EIGHT MEN KILLED AND TWENTY
spX INJURED-A NEGLIGENT FLAG
MAN HELD N

MAUCu CHUNK. Pa, Oct. 16.-A
wreck occurred on the Pottsville Divl-
sion of the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
near Tamanend, about 8 O'Clock this
morning, between a Leiigh gravel train
and a Pennsylvania Railroad fast
freight. The tiagman did not get back
far enough to signal the freight,
which struck the caboose of the gravel
train, the latter containing a batch of
Hungarian laborers, SIX Of whom were
instantly killed. Twenty-slx were in
jured, two of them dyirg while being
conveyed to the hospital. The gravel
train was backing on a siding, when
the freight train, which was running
on orders, approached at a high rate of
speed and went crashing into the cars
ahead.
The news Of the wreck was immedi-
ately telegraphed to the railroad OIL
GERS, who arrived on the scene In a
short time, and did all in their power
to make it comfortable for the suffer-
ing ones. Several physicians were also
summoned. The injured were removed
to the Miners Hospital, at Ashland,
and, as they were all Hungarians, with
two exceptions, no names could be
secured. The Deputy Coroner of
Tamanend empanelled a jury and testi.
mony will he taken tomorrow. The
killed and injured men were all on the
gravel train, with the exception of one,
a brakeman on the Pennsylvania train,
who was killed on his own train. So
far as is known the responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of the lagman who
failed to flag the freight train in time
to prevent the accident.
The following persons are known to
have been killed: William Goulden. of
Nescopec, breakman on the Pennsyl-
vania freight train; George Petrey, of
Rockport, brakeman on the Lehigh
Valley train; Joseph Hoskininski, Mike
Catiliki. John Sowinkl, Ludwig Pike,
John Levunkie and Joseph Lovenski,
who were employed on the gravel train.
The others of thu injured are in a crlti.
cal condition.

Activity is the price of strength. Tie
your arm tight to your side, giving it
no motion, and its strength will flee
away from the conquering palsy. The
oak, that king of trees, girds itself with
giant might because it is full OF activ-
ity; energy runs through a Thousand
roots gathering the strength of the soil
and building it into the heart Of the
oak; activity runs through a million
leaves and gathers the commerce of the
air and the sunlight to enrich the

no less must be full Of business, busy
activity, else he can not be strong In
the ways of life and staunch in The
tests of manhood.
