Telegram about the Contest Local
Boys not Yet mt Home.
The fourth annual contest between
the colleges in this state and in West
ern Pennsylvania took place on We'd
nesday night at Greenyille, Pa, and
the local representatives did not get
as good place as was hoped for. The
University came in fifth according TO
the4report sent out from Greenville
which is as follows:
II Russell Miller, representing
Westminster. of New Wilmington,
won first honors, and Paul Roth, rep,
resentlng Thiel college this place, was
second in the fifth annual contest OF
the Intercollegiate Oratorical associa.
tion Of Western Pennsylvania and
West Virginia, held in Laird opera
house tonight for $50 gold medal.
The orators and their subjects were:

T ley, Ex-Governor of Alaska, Greenville.
The party that went to the contest
will be back this evening it is expect
ed. They will come by way of Pitts
burg. FL. M. White, Win John and
A. w. Smith accompanied the speaker
on the trip. White is the old presi-
dent of the association.
There has been but little interest
taken in the contest among the stu
dents this year and this may be the
reason why no better standing was
made The preliminary contest was
not as desperately contested as it has
been in the past and the students will
have to ginger up if they are to retain
their prestige in the association.
No other details of the contest have
been received than those contained in
the Greenville item and it is not
known where the contest will be held
next year.

A man lies flat on his back, bound so that
he cannot move an inch. He is in dun

utes light in the ceiling, far up, shows
mechanical figure Of Time with his scythe.
The figure descends slowly, the scythe
swings, and the prisoner realizes that unless
some unexpected help should come, ne will
be slowly cut to pieces. What followed Is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pis and the Pendulum"

dreadful death is type of large class of IN

coils of an octopus, have lost all hope of free

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state Of exhilaration which follows the first
use Of the drug. ESQ. like the man In Poe's
story, he has not noticed the light in the cell

Miners Resume York Pending the De-
cision of the Arbitrators.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. 12.-The 800
miners employed at the Exeter col
liery of the Lehigh Valley Coal COM
pany, who went out on strike two
weeks ago against alleged excessive
dockage and minor grievances, re-
turned to work yesterday pending q
settlement of the points in dispute by
arbitration. The company will ap-
point an arbitrator, the men another
and these two will chose third. Both
sides think their differences can be
amicabls arranged. The Babylon col
liery at Duryea and ne Stevens col
liery at West PittstOn resumed work
with full force of men today Both
mines have been working short hand
ed for week. The situation at Nan
ticoke is unchanged, the $500 strikers
showing no desire to return to work,
unless the Susquehanna company make
some concessions to them. The COM
pany officials are equally as firm. They
say they have no concessions to make.
The suspension Of the big collieries is
q serious Inconvenience to the Susque-
hanna Coal company at this time,
when there is brisk demand for coal.
But it is said that the company is
making up somewhat for the loss by
operating its collieries at Shamokin
and Lykens double time. The com
pany officials deny that the miners en-
Eloyed in the colieries in those places
will strike out Of sympathy for the

9Ajer Mallory Declares 1hsy Ars New
Well Provided -tss.
Washington, Aug. t2.-A report has
been received at the war department
from Major John s. Mallory. inspector
general Of the Second division. Eighth
army corps. In the Philippines. COW
ering the work he has been doing be-
tween Feb. % and June 80. He has
made q number of Investigations Of
charges against officers which have ap-
peared in the United States in one
form or another. Most Of these charges
have been proved to be with little
foundation. In April he inspected the
camps at Malolos. and commenting
upon the conditions he says:
"The camps were found to be in
good sanitary condition. The clothing
was, as rule, sufficient for the actual
requirements Of the campaign, and was
fairly serviceable. The rations were
regulation In amount and excellent in
all respects, Australian beef Of ex-
cellent quality being furnished from
cold storage ships, and potatoes and
onions, in q good state of preservation.
being supplied from the United States.
Roasted and ground coffee was on re-
quest furnished from Manila by the
subsistence department"
A similar inspection made at San
Fernando about the middle Of May did
not show as satisfactory conditions
existing as at Malolos in the matter
of rations, for, while the ratlons is
sued were regulation in amount, 1t had
been impossible, since leaving the
vicinity of Calumpit early in May, to
furnish the troops with fresh beef and
fresh vegetables. The travel ration
was, therefore, largely used. I'm
fortunately, owing probably to the In
tense heat, a considerable portion Of
the bacon had to be condemned.
The command was found also to be
badly off in the matter Of clothing,
owing to the rough usage the uniforms
of the men had been subjected to. An
inspection. recently made. however,
shows that the rations are excellent
in all respects and that suitable and
sufficient uniforms and other clothing
are either in possession Of the men or
will soon be received from Manila;
also that very satisfactory sanitary
conditions obtain. n ,....
