The Free Press covers the ground very
completely, and its article will be read with
interest. We are satisfied that the diff
culties under the new law will be found, in
actual practice, to be of much less magni-
tude than is now anticipated. Those who
have studied the case the most thoroughly
are satisfied that, upon trial, the law will
work smoothly, without trouble or litiga.
tion, and to the ultimate satisfaction of
all. There can be no doubt, we think,
that it will be both illegal and unwise for
any district having a surplus on hand to
divide it among the taxpayers at the pres
ent time. 1t is the opinion of the best
authorities on this subject that any move
ment looking toward such a division will
be full of danger, and the wise course will
be to take the governors advice and go
slow. The inequality or injustice to the
small districts, to which the Free Press
alludes, will be very slight, as will be seen
on remembering that it will apply, not
against any district individually, but
against the towns as a whole or as a singl e
district.
Although requested TO do so, Gov. Full
Ter has declined to ask the judges of the
supreme court to construe the law, believ-
ing that no exigency exists which requires
such action.

Perhaps some Of the readers would like to
know in what respect Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better than any other. We will
tell you. When this remedy is taken as soon
as c,ld has been contracted, and before II
has become settled in the system, il will
oounteract the effect Of the cold and greatly
lessen it's severity, ifnot effectually cure the
cold in two days time, and il is the only
remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect
harmony with nature and aids nature in re-
lieving the lungs, opening the secretions,
liquefying the mucus and causing its expul-
sion from the air cells of the lungs and re-
storing the system to a strong and healthy
condition. No other remedy in the market
possesses these remarkable properties. No
other will cure cold go quickly or leave the
system in as sound a condition. For sale by

Three Trainmen Killed and Three In

PITTsBURG, Oct. 17.--An accident to
the Pennsylvania limited at Wellsville,
o., Tuesday morning at 6:15, resulted
in the death of the entire crew and
fatal injuries to the three men who oc-
cupied the baggage and expresscar.
A freight collision at Beaver Falls
had blockaded the main line of the
Pittsburg. Fort Wayne and Chicago
railroad, necessitating detour over
the Cleveland and Pirtsburg from ALI
ance. The limited was making this run
around, and Caruthers, who was reg
ular engineer on the Cleveland and
Pittsburg railroad, was acting as pilot
for Jackson, engineer Of the limited.
Along the river the fog had been the
most dense experienced In many years
and it was impossible to see signal
lights at ANY distance, while the sema-
phores could not be distinguished at all.
An engine with several freightcars
had been working in the Wellsville
yards and was crossing the main tracks
when the limited crashed into it. 1t is
presumed that the signals were all
right, but that the crew of the limited
could not see them on account Of the
density of the atmosphere. None Of the
passengers on the limited were injured,
according to reports from headquarters,
and the damage to property is slight.
The baggagecar and engine were de-
molished. The electricians were in
charge of the electric lights on the
