A CARD FROM A. c. BAKER.

Our furniture business at Hawleyville is now so we'll known far and near, that We feel that We may safely, for time at least, cut down our advertising expenses. An lad" to be of any value, should be changed every week. We are too busy to do 1t. Besides, We heard a man say, the other day that "that furniture man at Havleyville, who ad- vertises so much, must be a fool" Queer what big game one runs onto sometimes when one goes out without gun.l Another more charitable friend remarked to us eonfi- dentially, in an of hand way, that writing lads" out of business hours Is liable to lead to softening of the brain. Mind you, he did not say we had got it; and he looked away over into the next county when he said 1t but,-well, we are not slow to take a hint, If it is blind one. It would be perfectly aw ful if we should really get 1t this softening disease, We mean, and have it get real deep ly seated before we knew 1t, or before we had time to vaccinate. So we are going to stop right of short, give up our advertising col umns for awhile, pocket the money that would otherwise go into the coffers of these "grasping newspaper monopolies, eat brain hardening food and attend strictly to busi- ness, i. e. selling furniture at Hawleyvile Now for Heavens sake don't tell everybody what you think. Just remember how sensi- tive we are to adverse criticism. and say that we are simply boyeotting and playing Debs with the newspapers for awhile, Don't tell them that We are tired or waiting for any thing 10 harden. Be compassionate be just be considerate, be charitable, be liberal mind- ed one with another and last of all be sure and come to Hawleyvie before you buy your furniture. Please commit this last sentence to memory and then pin it in your hat.

CENTRALIA, Sept. ia terrific eXplo-
sion of gas occurred in a gangway of the
Centralia colliery at noon to-day resulting
in the burning of four men, one American
and three Hungarians. 1t is feared one of
the latter is fatally injured.
John Cook, the American, was the first
man taken out of the mine. He was
terribly burned about the head aud face,
but it is thought he will recover. John
Youngkofski Mike Stenawicz and Joe
Puntalouis had their heads, faces and
chests burned, but Puntalouis was the
only one who suffered dangerous injuries.
He was the last man taken out of the
mine.
This is the first case of an explosion OF
mine gas in this vicinity for many months
and as the first report was that twenty
men had suffered it created intense excite
ment. Nearly FIVE hundred people gath
cred weeping and screaming at the en-
trance to the mine and many of them re-
| fused to be consoled until the last man
was removed and assured that no more re
mained in the mine.
The explosion is a surprise to mine eX
perts, as the Centralia colliery is one Of
the best ventilated in the region. No one
knows how the explosion occurred, but il
| is supposed to have been started by a laml
/ of one of the victims.
