improved Mail Facilities.

Postmaster Geo s. KEEPER, and his eff
cent aid, f. f. Strohmeier, are constantly
devising means by which our mail facili-
ties can be improved, and since they have
been working together have succeeded in
making several radical changes in the sys-
tenn that have been of much benefit to our
business people. By their latest move,
letters are now sent from Ashland to
Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Easton, Haz'e 'eton,
Shenandoah and other points on the can
non balr' train, leaving the P. & Il, station
at 612 p. m. Although they travel a
longer distance to get to their destinations,
they are received there much quicker than
if they had been held until next morning
and sent by the regular mai! trains. They
te pouohed direct to Philadelphia where
they arrive at II p. m, and leave on mid
night rains for points named Thus it can
be seen that letter for Shenandoah, leav-
ing on this train, t'avels two hundred and
forty miles to reach a town that is only
nine miles distant. Although il is pouched
20 Philadepbis and travels this remark
able distance, it is back in Shenandoah al
4;24 next morning, which is somewhat Of
an Improvement over the old way of send
ing letter TO Shenandoah, as heretofore
the first mail from Ashland was received
there at 10 a. m.-AshiaHd Tetegrom.

THE tariff question is the over
shadowing issue in American politics
to-day, and while the Democrats of
Pennsylvania have resolved to the
contrary the voters of the common
wealth understand that a vote for
Gregg and Morrison is a vote in the
interest of American labor and of the
American farmer, while a vote for
Wright and Tilden is ballot for
candidates whose election is being
prayed for, night and day, on the
other side of the Atlantic. If you
want to sustain American interests to
the exclusion of the interests of
British Free Traders, vote the Repub-

tickle the British and in a way to
pauperize American labor vote the

by an ordinary bolt, is fitted a spherical
socket, with ball bearing geared to the
head iece or nut. The head-piece is
threaded on the inside to carry the tubular
or hollow feed bar (5) through which
the drill stem (N passes. This drill
stem () is fitted so rs to reyolve freely
within the feed bar (5) through which it
passes, in order TO overcome all resistance
on the bit (a) when hard substances are
encountered, which is easily accomplished
by merely turning a thumb screw (d) on
the wheel end of the feed bar This throws

and found it in a splendid little model Of
the mine drill patented by Mr.. John l.

The model is an exceedingly neat piece of

past week, Il is placed upon box in front
of a lump Of coal, so visitors mag operate
it and understand bow il works, and see the
advantages Of the machine over other
drills. The miners who have seen the
model snd who have used the drill in their
work say the machine is destined to 20 TO

Very valuable, but Costs Nothing.

The best example of getting some
thing for nothing which has come to our
knowledge, is the decision OF the great
specialist, DR.. Greene, IS w. Fourteenth
street, New York, to give to the sick
and suffering consultation and advice
free. Enormous fees are charged by
physicians Of the great skill and Won
.derful power to cure disease possessed
by DR.. Greene, and the fact that he can
now be consulted, personally, or by let
ter, free, is matter OF congratuiation
for every community. DR., Greene is
the discoverer OF that great nerve RENE.
tly, DR.. Greenc's Nervura, and all his
wonderful medicines are purely vegeta-
bio and perfectly harmless. Our people
will be especially interested in the fNct
that this eminent physician has made a
speciality OF treating the sick through
letter correspondence. Ii You write
him description OF Your case, he will
return carefully considered letter,
giving You perfect understanding OF
your disease, advice, etc, withoutchargc
Sufferers who have failed to get relief
cannot afford to neglect this great OPP
portunity, hut should write to DR..
Greene at once. BE sure and send for
his symptom blank to ill out.
