ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED.
Mr.. Burgett Got an Illinois Post.
master Appointed in Six Hours.


Arcola. H., Dee IA good campaign
story in which kepreSentative-elect Carl :.
BurGett Of Newman. HI. played the leading
role has Just come to light. The story is
vouched for by any number of responsible
State. and the unusual pToceedings it is
believed. will establish a precedent Cor
political saeacity that many of the veterans
OF the political arena will find difficult to
surpass. The story as il came to the
writer is about as follows:
The morning of November End. Mr.. Bur-
gett landed in Mode. Shelby County, IL
linois. on 4 canvass:ng tour. When he
aliShted from the train in the little VIII
laSe there was no brass band delegation
to meet him. The platform was deserted
so Mr.. Burgett started out to find the local
leaders Of the Republican party.
The men of that faith are very scarce in
Shelby County. and particularly 50 in this
little town. Failing TO find any Republi-
cars on the street he went to the post
office. where ne felt sure Of finding in The
Postmaster 4 man of his party. Present.
last he supposed he had found Republic
can, but was dumfounded when the Post
master informed him that ''he guessed he
was on the wrong side of the fence"
Thoroughly disguised Mr.. Burgett left
the office and walked down to the station.
intending to leave such Il Democratic
stronghold. At the depot, however. he wa $
introduced by the railroad agent TO Mr.
KnoX. The Legislator and MIR. Knox fell
into a conversation and i'm the co.;-se of
the talk Mr.. Burgett asked how IL pap
pcned that under 4 Republican administi -
ton a Democrat still held the post Office.

Water Famine Feared.

The drought in the coal region is be-
coming more serious daily. The Phila-
delpha and Reading Railway at Maha-
noy Plane is now compelled to haul
water in oil tanks from Sunbury, dis
tance of forty-one miles. At Shenan-
doah the water from the public works is
turned on but three hours each day,
two hours in the morning and one hour
in the evening. For domestic purposes
enough of this scant supply is stored to
serve for twenty-four hours.
Reading Coal Company collieries de-
pend almost entirely on sulphur water
pumped from the mines and purified
with the assistance of lime. This is
well enough as temporary eXpedient,
but its continued use means sure de-
struction to the boilers. The sulphur
water eats away the tubes and the
boilers are useless within a month.

Abused the Horse.

Rev. j. w. Bischoff drove from his
home in Upper Lehigh Monday morning
and placed his horse and carriage in the
stable, rear of the Presbyterian church
on Front street. He then left for Halle
ton, going and returning via the trolley
line. Arriving here at / o'clock he went
for his horse and found the animal in
the stable reeking with sweat and show
ing the effects of having been driven
hard. The day was cold and the horse
was in great danger of becoming i'll.
No trace of the party who took the
horse and carriage from the stable has
yet been found, but it was probably
done by some person familiar with the
owners movements. Should the identi-
ty of the guilty one be established, he
will be prosecuted

Executive Board Meetinq.

Benjamin James, of Jeanesvlle, has
been summoned to Indianapolis to
attend meeting of the national execu-
tive board of the United Mine Workers.
The meeting will be the last to be held
by the board before the national conven-
tion in January. Matters of grave i'm
portance will be considered and the pol
icy to be adopted at the convention will
be outlined.
Foremost among these matters is the
condition in the anthracite fields. While
the miners were victorious in the great
strike which has just been settled, this
was simply preliminary skirmish, and
a great deal of work remains to be done,
it is announced. The primary consid-
Grafton is to get the operators in the
anthracite districts to meet the repre-
sentatives of the United Mine Workers
in annual scale conference.

End of Tragic Romance.

The State Board of Pardons has
pardoned Frank Beck, who six years
ago was convicted of killing his sweet
heart. Maria Kerzac, at Olyphant
Lackawanna county He was sentenced
to be hanged, but afterward the SEN
tence was commuted to Imprisonment
for life. Beck and Maria Kerzac were
lovers in Croatia, Austria, according to
evidence brought out at his trial. He
preceded her to this country and worked
in the mines, and when he had accumu-
lated sufficient money he sent for the
woman to come to this country.
She soon afterward arrived and went
to the home of relative in Olyphant.
But before the wedding day another
man appeared on the scene, supplanting
Beck in the affections of the young
woman. Beck came down to Olyphant
to claim his bride, and was turned away.
He then shot her dead
At the trial it was attempted to be
shown by the defendant that he was
down-hearted and attempted to commit
suicide. In doing so, it was said, the
women pulled the revolver around so
that when it was discharged, the bullet
pierced her neck, fatally wounding her.
