Killed At Stonega.

y sad accident occurred at Stonega
last Friday, and which caused the
instant death of John Stewart, car
inspector on the l.. & n. r. r. Mr..
Stewart was at Stonega repairing a
car which was standing on the side
track, and as he came out from under
the car and started to cross the main
track, he was run over by an L. & n.
freight train that was backing into
the yards. Fifteen cars passed over
his body, cutting it into many pieces.
He evidently did not see the train
backing up on the main track when
he started to cross. His remains
were gathered up and sent to Living
ston, Ky, his former home, for burial.
Mr.. Stewart was well and favorably
known in the Gap, where he had
many warm friends, who deeply re-
gret his untimely and sad death. He
leaves wife and several children to
mourn the sad death of a good hus-
band and anectionate father. He
'ormerly lived at this place, but NOV
ID to the double tunnel some time
ago, where he resided until his death.

THE GOLFERS

When once again we take our stand
Beside the little pile of sand
And swing the fateful staff.
Our eye shall never leave the ball,
Nor eager mind the stroke forestall-
And thus we shall not "sclaff."
bitches nor ponds, where'er they lie,
Shall henceforth lure the wandering eye,
Nor rocks that far outcrop;
Well just forget them all complete.
And grip the ground with both our feet
And save the costly top"
And never will we heave and strain
To swat the ball with might and main,
But swing with self control,
And with discrimination nice
That will avoid both "hook" and "slice,"
Which war against the soul.
And when we find 'cuppy lie"
We will not with the "brassie" try
TO get two hundred yards,
But with the "mashie" deftly Jerk
That is the club that does the work,
And leaves its kind regards.

Freedom From Gear Rule

Whether Cuba is freed or not; whether
we have war with Spain or not, some thing
will be gained for liberty If the house of

reasonable limitations on debate, are all
