The People Appreciate 1t.

We heard quite a number of our town folks
say that THE FAMOUS, the new clothing
and hat house, corner Centre and Main
streets, are selling clothing and hats at prices
that are lower than they ever were offered at
in this town. A matter Of this kind is bound
to be appreciated by the people and if the
FAMOUS continues to sell cheap, which they
certainly will, they viii make a success.
What the people want in these hard times, is
to get the best article for as little money as
possible and that the FAMOUS are doing.
For as we said before they are being talked
about as the place to 20 to buy clothing and
hats if you want to save money. Long live
the FAMOUS, that they may supply the in
habitants of Shenandoah and vicinity with
clothing and hats and save the people money.
They offer for Saturday $500 guaranteed
Kersey overcoat for $3.50 Go and look al
it, you will 5e surprised how they can do it.

CRUSHED BY A
RUSH OF SLATE.
Colfax Brown Meets Death in the
BllangOwan Mines.
lie WAS STARTING A BATTERY
In a Sudden Rush the Victim was Caught
by a Large Piece Of Slate and
Squeezed to Death Against
Timber.
he WAS STARRING A BATTERY

A sad accident occurred in Ellangowan
mines at about $3.50 o'clock this morning, by
which Colfax Brown, a very prominent and
estimable young man Of town, was instantly
killed.
It appears that battery had become
stalled and two men who we're engaged in
trying to clear it were called away to help
get car on a track. Brown, who is a loader
boss, went to the battery and commenced
starting it without assistance. There was a
sudden rush Of coal rock and slate and be-
fore Brown could get away q large fake of
slate caught and pinned him against the
timber upon which the brake of the chute is
fixed. The slate crushed the victim at the
ribs and death was instantaneous.
After getting the car on the track the two
men returned to the chute with the inten-
tion Of resuming their work in starting the
battery. Upon arrival at the place they were
Mortified to find Browns dead body pinned
against the timber, in an upright position.
The body was carefully removed and carried
out Of the mines, after which it was con-
veyed in an ambulance to the home Of the
deceased on East Coal street.
Brown was 80 years of age and leaves a
wife and one child, His father, now de-
ceased was inside foreman of the colliery
in which the accident occurred for many
years, and S. L. Brown, the North Main
street boot and shoe dealer, is brother OF
the victim.
The deceased was member of Washing
ton Camp No. 112, P. o. S. of A., Shenandoah
Valley Council No. $50, Jr. o. U. A. NJ, and

Much is heard Of what our friends on the
other side term the hybrid ticket" mean
ing, Of course, the endorsement of the
Citizens ticket by the Republicans. Let us
inquire into this phase of the canvass little
further. Some of the Democrats who ser
iously object to giving the Republicans the
right to vote for or endorse whom they please
are quite prominent in the movement to have
the Republican county convention endorse a
Democrat for Judge next fall. Suppose the
Republicans of Shenandoah had en-
dorsed the Democratic borough ticket,
would the aforesaid Democratic ticket
be a hybrid ticket2" l guess not The
Democrats Of the Third ward, on one OF two
occasions, endorsed certain candidates ON the
Citizens ticket. Was that hybrid ticket2''
You see, dear reader, it depends upon whose
OK is being gored, and the Democratic OK
has received so many fatal lunges in this
campaign that some of their leaders are
excusable for their acts of omission and
commission.

THE CITIZENS ACTIVE.
They Have the right well in Hand and
the outlook is Bright.

Ed. HERALD 1T appears singular that the
Democratic leaders should manifest so much
concern about the ticket nominated at the
Citizens primaries, and subsequently en-
dorsed by the Republicans Upon second
thought, however,, it is not so singular as at
first supposed It will be remembered that
the defeat Of the Citizens last year was at
tributed to the disadvantage in marking the
ballots. The voter who desired to vote the
Citizens tickets was compelled to place a mark
opposite each candidates name, while the
Democratic voter merely placed cross in
the circle at the head Of the column. This is
an advantage they will not have this time
and hence their discomforture.
eee
The fact that the Citizens ticket has been
endorsed by the Republicans is an evidence
of the popularity of the candidates. But
this is generally acknowledged, and I opine
hundreds Of Democrats will be in the ZEN
dorsing" business on Tuesday next. They
recognize that an improvement in the
local government can be brought about
only in the election of competent borough
officials. There can be no question as to the
superiority Of the Citizens candidates in this
respect over that Of their Democratic op-
ponents. have nothing to say detrimental to
the Democratic candidates as private citizens;
but the people have a right to question the
fitness Of any candidate for public Office. In
doing this it is not necessary to resort to
abuse nor Misrepresentation; that is the stock
in trade Of the ward heeler and political
trickster.
