Accident to Mr.. Thos. Garvey.

Mr. Thomas Garvey, an aged citi-
zen of our town, met with an accident
Wednesday night which, on account
of hemorrhage, might have proved
fatal, had not his daughter heard his
cries. While going from the kitchen
to the well in the dark, he stepped
off platform about two feet high,
striking his head on the rim of an
iron bucket cutting a cash about 4
inches long seyering an artery. The
hemorrhage was very profuse, hair
and clothing saturated with blood
and great pool where he fell. When
he came to himself he was too weak
rise and called for help. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. Cleary, happened to be on
the back porch and heard him call
and went to his assistance. He was
carried into the house, where his
wounds were afterwards dressed by

struck his leg against a cake of ice in
such manner as to bruise it severe

and panied him so badly that he
could not walk without crutches
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and a half gallons of whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any
relief until he began using Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. This brought al
most complete cure in a week S

At the time of holding the Republi-

land the fact that the terms for which
School Commissioners are to be
elected this fall is fixed by the special
act of the Legislature was overlooked
and as a result the nominations were
all made and the nominees chosen
for the term Of two years EACH This
necessitated the calling together of
the Republican committee which met
Tuesday. The candidates were also
present and the matter arranged sat
isfactorily. Mr. George w. Legge
was named as the candidate for the
six year term Mr.. S. p. Specht for
four years and Mr.. S. E. Flowers for
two years.

also overlooked this matter. Their
candidates were also consulted and

IN THE SENATE.
The possibility of the states west of
the Mississippi securing anything Of
great moment in the senate does not ap-
pear to be bright at this writing The
reorganization of the senate will of
course result in the great West having
some offices Of prominence in the upper
branch of congress. This has been the
case in the past. Ex-Representative FL
lis, Of Oregon, will be the next sergeant
alarms of the senate. The next assist
ant doorkeeper will be AIonzo Stewart,
of Iowa. He is a candidate at this time
for sergeant-at-arms, but will be prfectly
we'll satisfied If he can retain the position
he now holds. Mr.. Stewart is quite popu-
lar for the reason that he has served in
the senate for many years and has been
satisfactory to the people with whom he
has been brought In contact during this
time. There is another man from the
West who is an aspirant for place when
the senate is reOrganiZed, and this gentle
man is no less person that James S.
ClarksOn, former editor of the Iowa Reg
lister, and first assistant postmaster gen.
eral under the Harrison administra ton.
He is now permanent resident of New
York city, and it is believed that, owing
to his influence as a politician, he will
be able to defeat the present secretary

lima, who is anxious to succeed himself.

In England, and most of the thirty-three
torpedo craft, should be available during
the coming year, and the four monitors
in 1901.
Dating from the construction of the
Cmcago authorized in 1888, the cost Of
the new navy including new vessels now
under contract or authorized, aggregates
$161, ,090, 122
On Nov. 4, 1885, the department, recog-
nlz1nS the Importance of submarine con-
struction, directed the board of inspection
and survey to make an inspection of the
Holland submarine boat built and own
ed by private parties. A trial of this boat
was made on Nov. H. 1893, in the presence
of the board, which reported to the de-
partment that the Holland company, by
reason of want of practice in handling
the boat, and the torpedo in connection
with it, was not prepared to comply with
the requirements Of the board, and rec
commended that a further trial be made
under systematic conditions with train
ed crew, with all the preparation for the
trial properly made beforehand. 1t is be-
l1eVed that the results rhus far obtained
are indicative OF the very important pos
sitilities of this type of naval war vessel.
ROUTINE MATTERS.
The secretary then takes up and dis
cusses matters of interest to the depart
ment, the personnel bill, the naval
academy, the naval observatory, ocean
and lake surveys and the survey for
trans-Pacif1c cable. The question Of coal
ing stations is discussed in detail on this
point. Secretary Long says:
The conditions existing at the outbreak
OF the war with Spain in this respect
have been much improved in the waters
of the West Indies and in the Pacific
ocean, where the government of the
United States has recently acquired eX-
tensfve possessions. The department has
taken steps to provide in these new pos
sessions such facilities as the means at
coal and for the establishment of naval
stations with the necessary plants for
making ordinary repairs to vessels of
war.
The question of bounties the secretary
d1smisses with a statement of claims
pending, and the information that they
have been referred to the court of claims.
The total of naval appropriations for the
year ended June 80, 1899, was $50, SIG, ,42e.
OF this amount only $39, ,045, ,113 has been
expended. The estimated expenditures for
1900 are $40, ,33S and for 1901, $74, ,230, ,309
In order that it may be seen at
glance what other great powers are doing
in the matter of naval construction, as
compared with our own progress, the de-
partment has had tables prepared, which
show the tonnage laid down in 1899, and
the total tonnage now under construc-
ton. From these 1t appears that only
Italy and Japan laid down less tonnage
than this country during the present
year, and that Italy alone has less ton
mage under construction

POSTAL PRIVILEGE ABUSE.
Feature of the Annual Report of the
POstmaster General

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The annual re-
port OF postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith was made public tonight
It's chief feature is a plea for congress
s1onal action to stop the abuse of second
class mail privileges, which, he says, re-
suits in the annual waste Of upwards of
$4,000 0O0.' The financial exhibit for the
fiscal year shows total expenditures of
$101, 632, 161, and total receipts of S95, ,ON s94
the deficiency being 81, ,422, TAI less than last
year The postmaster general says:
The most urgent need of the postal
service is the rectificatton of the enor-
NOUS wrongs which have grown up in
the peryersion and abuse of the privilege
accorded by law to second-class matter.
The postal deficit for the current year is
$6,6l0,U6. But for this wrongful applica-
tfon of the class rate, instead of a def
1c1t there would be a clear surplus of
many, millions. ., 1t is not proposed to re-
struct the privileges of legitimate publ
cations, or to modify the design of the
law, but only to bring back its appIica-
t1qn to its original and just scope.
the matter mailed as second-class and
paid for at the pound rate is not properly
second-class within the intent of the law,
and ought Justly to be paid for at the
nous quantity of 176,3156 6l3 pounds from
which the. department derives only a
traction of the revenue to which it is
fairly entitled. The department actually
derived revenue of IA rs cents a pound
for the th1rd-class matter mailed last
year, and on this basis the department
would have received from this wrong
fully classed second3rate. matter $26,01l.
S63, instead of 81, 1886, which was actually

of $24, ,248 347.

pie. With this class paying properly,

itations, could be applied to letters with
