caught in the Port Royal mine of the
Pittsburg Ccal Company, closing one Of
the most terrible scenes ever witnessed
in the Yorghiogheny Valley. Within
the doomed pit there are three mine
foremen and one district superintendent,
besides road men, track men and boss
machnists, remarkable thing about the
disaster being that two well-known men
are caught in the fatal fire.
After the first explosion Monday night
there were two others in succession, one
at 10 o'clock, which killed eight heroic
rescuers, and another 10 minutes later.

Pieces of coal, slivers and timbers and

Washington (SpeciaD President Nc
Kinley has announced that he will not
accept the candidacy for a third term.
In making this announcement it is be-
lieved he follows his own instincts, as
we'll as the advice of his wsest friends.
The opinion is expressed by some
politicians here that Senator Depew's
advocacy OF a third term for President
Mckinley was made with the purpose
of testing public sentiment and that the
commentit has asprovoked has established
the unpopularitY OF the sugges ion.
Friends of the President insist how
ever, that he never sanctioned the idea.
That Mr. Depew himself expects to
be a candidate is believed here. His
closely Identifying himself with the Ad-
ministration as an advocate OF its poll
ces might give him prominence as a
candidate and in this a motive for bring
ing himself into public notice in this
way is suggested by some who criticise
his course.
President McKinley's announcement
to-day follows:
Il regret that the suggestion of
third term has been made. doubt
whether | am called upon to give It
the gravest importance before the Ad-
ministration and the country, and their
just consideration should not be preiu-
diced in the public mind by even the
suspicion of the thought of a third term.
In view, therefore, of the reiteratlon OF
the suggestion OF it, I will say now,
once for all, expressing a long-settled
conviction, that l not only am not
ard v,i1t not no candidate for a third
term, but would not accept a nomlna-
ton for it il it we're rendered me-
my only ambition is to serve through
my second term to the acceptance OF
my countrymen, whose generous con-
idence | so deeply appreciate, and than.
with them. do my duty in the ranks OF
private citizenship.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

The Clary Concert Company has
been organized in response to many
urgent demands for unique combina-
tion of artists, for concerts or recit-
als-which should contain Mary Louise
Clary, whose claim to the title of
" Americas greatest contralto," has
never b en- questioned,
OF Miss Clary's singing the Chicago
Inter-Ocean says; Miss Clary's voice
possesses tone of such sympathetic
fibre that mere succession of notes
sung by her, is thing of musical
value. So when she is heard in great
selections such as "He Was Despis-
ed, it will follow that the audience
is hers, to sway, emotionally, at her
will. There is kindliness, so to speak,
i'll her singing, that wins, independ-
emily of the force of art. IS she has
the latter in goodly measure, her
hold ON her hearers is supreme. -
This will be the third "Wilder"
concert. Miss Clary and her COM
pany will be heard at Blanchard opera
house on Wednesday evening, Decem-
Der 4.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

dog was killed and the owner severely
bitten through the wrist by the cat,

tormentors. | have yet to learn if so
dlsgraceful an affair caused even a
ripple of Indignation among your citi-
zens, who are bemoaning the sins of
the heathen in darker Africa, all un-
mindful OF labor nearer home.
The amount of abuse TO animals in
this state is simply appalling, as any
one Will .allow, who is willing to
read the narrowing account of the
Burlington local humane society. The
average man is nothing if not coward
ly and polite to the last degree in
making enemies of brutal men. Hence
the crying need of fearless, wide
awake prosecuting agent in every
town to unearth the cruelty he is as
certain to find as the sun is to rise
and set The persistency with which
ministers preach all around the text,
open thy mouth for the dumb" 2" is
a problem difficult of solution and is
proving all powerful in retarding the
very acme of Christian endeavor eff
fort as all humane workers agree.
Now and then one will stop and
think intently for few moments,
who has filled long pastorate and ex-
claim, "Oh yes, believe l have
preached somewhere or sometime on
this subject but am not quite GER
