THE ALCOHOL EXPLODED.
Daughter of Colonel and Mrs. G. c
Mates Seriously Burned.

Margaret, the eldest daughter of
Col. and Mrs. c. g. Mates. was SER
iously burned yesterday noon at her
home on Quincy avenue. While assist
ing her mother in preparing so.nn
chafing dish cookery. they attempted
to fill the alcohol lamp which was
believed to have burned out. \ bit oi
flame must have stil remained, how
ever. for when fresh alconol was
poured into the receptacle, there was
Il great explosion, the little 9-year-
old daughter receiving the force of it
in her face and chest.
In an instant she was enveloped IN
flames, which even the presence pl
mind OF her mother was only in part
effective in eXtinsuishng, as they rose
above the rug in which she promptly
rolled the child, who was frightfully
burned.
The brave little girl uttered not II
cry OF pain, ''because." said she, II
knew 1 must be careful not to make
mother feel bad about me-" and de-
spite of the fact that she is not u very
strong child, did not lose conscious
ness.

WHO was ..Posfed7,,

Evan Hebrew, the newly elected
representative Of Phillips county, and
Elmer Stroup were negotiating with
Hamilton Bros, for the purchase of
their hardware establishment, but
the deal fell DISQUALIFICATION Rec
ord, The statement made by
the Phiilipsburg Herald that e. e,
Hebrew had bought an interest Ia 3
hardware store'in Stockton. just prior
to election, seems to have been with
out foundation, and presumably for
political purposes only AS things
have turned out no one Is injured.
Mr.. Hebrew was elected by q good
majority and Hamilton Bros, being
on q firm financial footing, have not
been Injured in any way, but il they
had been debtors to large amount
their creditors would have been like
lv to close in on them after such q
report. Mr.. Tadlock ought to find
out who he is liable TO hit before
making such extravaganza statements
about things which he is net posted.
Stockton News.
The above items appeared in the
two republican papers of Stockton
the same week, aud illustrates the
difference between newspaper man
and a scrub. Mr.. Chambers gets the
news and prints it. Mr.. Young thinks
the fact that HE did not get on to en
item. proves there's nothing in it,
and like the pettifogger who tried to
prove the innocence of his client by
bringing twenty witnesses to swear
they did not see him commit the
crime, urges his lack of knowledge
as a reason why it Seems to have
been without foundation" One of
the items was reprinted in Phillips
burg paper and the other omitted.
That illustrates the difference be-
tween a partisan organ and a paper
that intends to be fair.

The Lebanon Journal gets very
wild over the congressional-senstorial
middle into which Smith county
seems to have got herself, and makes
wholesale charges of trade" and
'tsell out" right and left. The HER
AID has not taken any part in this
senseless post-election imbroglio,
neither has 1t now any charges or
recrimmations to indulge in. It is
evident to all sensible people that
both Mr.. Reeder and Mr.. Peterson
hold their offices in snti-republicsn
districts, because of the foolish, nay,
silly strife between the factions. kept
up by three or four noisy obstreper-
GUS ''rule or ruin" spirits who would
sacrifice patriotism and party to their
own petty notions of spite and malice.
Nobody was actuated by hope of
gam, for neither party hoped to win.
It was spite pure and simple that
caused the trouble. This being the
case, and further, with the victorious
trusts, rspscious subsidy hunters,
and the blIghting evils of militsrism
threatening the very existence of the
liberties of our people. the HERALD
feels that there are other and nobler
ideals to strive for than rehashing an
old and tiresome squabble which
everybody but the squsbblers is anx-
ious to forget. So far as the charges
against Mr.. Mccormick are con-
Cerned. that gentlemen authorizes
the HERALD to say they are absolute
ly untrue. He further challenges Mr..
Wright to prove his charges or re-
tract the same. No charges however
sensational will cover up what was
done in Smith county, and the Jour
nal might as well remember that now.
The HERALD would like to see the
boys-the rank and file-get together
and relegate the disturbers to the
rear, make a pull altogether and send
a congressman to represent the big
Sixth in 1902.

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER %, 1900.

The fruits of the republican victory
in Kansas are beginning to show up.
State Superintendent Frank Nelson
thinks that the poor downtrodden
book companies are not getting
enough out of the school books which
are now being furnished the people
and that the law ought to be amended
so as to raise the price paid by the
patrons of the schools, If few laws
like that go through, the people OF
Kansas will pay dearly for permitting
the republicans to remain IN power.
