robber of the mails has been arrested here
by the postal authorities. The culprit is
c. H. Hamilton, alias Wallace Hamil-
ton appeared at the Union depot wearing
the brass buttons and uniform of rail
way mail agent He stepped boldly up to
II truck that was standing under the de-
pot sheds, pulled down letter pouch and
carried it into waiting room. There he
placed the pouch under an oyercoat that
hung upon his arm and walked into the
street, not knowing that he had been
"shadowed" A short time afterward
Hamilton was arrested at his hotel. He
had cut open the sack, and was going
through the letters which 1t contained
when the officers broke into his room. He
had already extracted several small sums
/ of money.

Holiday Books.

In a short time the reader will have for
gotten the excitement of the present political
campaign, and the words Republican, Demo-
crat or Popocrats will be thing of the past
and your thoughts will naturally turn to the
coming holidays with the question, what will
be the best thing to buy for Christmas pres
ents for my adult friends, and what will give
most pleasure to children and little tots?
There is nothing of more value and lasting,
or that has come into more general use than
the giving aud receiving of beautiful books.
There are no doubt many of our readers who
are ready to act as agents for the sale of
series of four attractive holiday books, rang
ing in prices from soc. 10 1926. Such books
are published by the well-known firm of
Gillespie, Metzgar & Kelley, $50 North Broad
street, Philadelphia, Pa. So confident are
they of the selling qualities of their books
that they will furnish handsome combiua-
ton outfit, free of charge, pay freight
charges, give premiums, also allow very
| liberal commissions to any one who will de-
vote attention to the business, We advise
any of our readers who want profitable en-
| ployment to write to them for particulars,

ELECTION OF MINE INSPECTORS.

We note with regret the resolution adopted
by the United Mine workers, IN convention
assembled in Pottsville ON saturday favor
ing the election OF Mine Inspectors by
popular vote, the same as county officers are
now elected.
When the law creating the office Of Mine
Inspector was passed, this subject was well
considered and the consensus Of opinion
among miners then was that the law would
fail of its object if the Office were made a
political one After considerable discussion
the present mode of selecting the Inspectors
was accepted as the best means of keeping
these officials free and untrammeled and to
make change of the Kind recommended
wuud not help matters, hut athcr tend to
/ lpwrg the dignity and usciCInrss oi the office
aud open the iicld to politicians, who would,
of necessity, resort to political methods to
obtain it.
1t appears from the tone Of the resolution
adopted that the present law, or the execution
of it, does not meet with the approval Of the
! United Mine Workers but whether the

ONE DISEASE AND ONE REMEDY.

"The art Of painting" said Milais Con
sists in selecting the right colors and putting
them in the right place "-"The way to win
a BATTLE" said Napoleon, is to mass your
troops at the critical moment against the
weakest spot in the enemy's line. THE
way to cure many ailments" said the great
Dr. Abercrombie, 'is to purify the poisoned
spring in which they arise, generally the
torpid and innamcd digestive system"
Thus wisdom and experience simplify and
coudense. Thus the Shakers Of Mount
Lebanon reasoned when they sought, and
finally found a remedy for indigestion and
dyspepsia. Where one person has something
else, they argued, a thousand have this. To
cure this alone will almost rid the world of
sickness. Why should we vex ourselves
with confusing defnitions2 A good diges-
tion is life and health bad one disease and
death. Hence, from the healing and stimu-
lating mountain herbs, they extracted the
principles which make the Shaker Digestive
Cordial the rarest and most effective OF
medicines for one disease, and one only
indigestion and dyspepsia.

the present system for the benefit of a hand
full Of silver mine owners.
MIR. Sowdcn was read out Of the Demo
cratic party for opposing the Mills tariff bill,
yet he had the audacity to say that the
government derived greater revenue from
the Wilson free trade bill than it did under
the operation Of the Mckinley bill Then,
pray, why did Mr. shepherds substitute vote
against the Mills bill, which was similar to
the Wilson bill? He did not vote against the
latter bill for the reason that the voters Of
Lehigh county refused to return him to Con
eross. If the revenue was greater under the
Wilson bill why was it necessary for the
Democratic administration to issue bonds in
time Of peace2
Itis little wonder that the Democratic
managers in this county anticipated Repub-
licau tidal wave in November, when the
head of the county ticket is compelled to
resort to such a position ON questions now be-
fore the people and in which we are all so
greatly interested. The voters Of Schuylkill
county have always shown their appreciation
of the candidate who has the courage to de-
fend his position, and Mr. Shepherd will re-
alize that it would have been better for him
had he at least made the attempt to answer
the HERALD's questions, instead Of import
ing a substitute, especially n person who
has been repudiated by his own party
/ We think Mr.. Shepherd is beaten.

AMONG some good resolutions adopted by
the United Mine Workers, at their recent
convention in Pottsvillc, was one which in
directly praises the Hon. Elias Davis and
should commend him to the workingmen of
the whole coal region. We refer to the one
approving the scmi-monthly pay law, Of
which Mr. Davis, who was then member Of
the legislature was the father This
law ma, bceu of great benefit to the
coal region in general, as business
people, too feel its bcnefcent effects
as well as the workingmcn, for whose benefit
it was primarily intended. The Association
could not of course, as a non-pditical body,
consistently take hand in political matters,
but their commendation Of the work of Mr..
Davis is a commendation Of him as public
servant who faithfully represented his
. constituents.
