Postoffee Experiencing the Rush
Earlier Than Usual.

The Christmas season rnsh of mail

and the local office is swamped with
packages addressed 10 people locally
as well as with parcels going out o

early. Usually it begins latec and
continues until after New Years day
The Christmas rush has necesstated
more help and already extra carers
clerks have been ms allied
Each year there are many packages
sent out by mail that are never de
Hvered. This is not the fault of he
pcstofflce officials, but the fault Of
the aenders themselves The address

many intances are neglected alogeth-

The usual numbe- of letters have
been received at the postoffice ad-
dressed in childish scrawls to Santa
Claus. All such letters are sent to the
dead liter office in Washington d C.
where attempts are made 20 return

The traditional wash-day tests a
woman's strength to the full. Her
back is bent continually over the
washboard. She lifts and carries all
day long. Frequently she leaves the
steaming laundry to rush into a
draught of air and incur the danger
OF severe cold. What must a worn-

when she is suffering from wom-
anly diseases |? Every movement
must be painful to her and aggra-

Prosperity i'm Figures.

Our neighbor, the Gazette, at.
tempts to stem the greatest tide
of prosperity known to the
American people of all classes by
showing that the First State
Bank and Hand County State
Bank of Miller have loans out.
standing to the amount of
A$156,326.27. Very good. But
the reader will readily remember
that Just a few years ago in the
democratic free soup house era a
man could not borrow dollar.
ALI this is changed today by
reason of republican prosperity.
sound money and confidence, so
that any man can borrow mon
ey TO engage In business or any
enterprise. But the Gazette is
stal more unfortunate in having
brought up this question, be-
cause while the loans of these
two banks as shown i'm their
official statements amount to
$156,326.27, their deposits
amount to S206,737.OS. So,
under these good republican
times the people are better off
all around. They have money
to deposit, or they can borrow
to use and make more.
This is surely preferable to the
democratic times of a few years
ago when they neither had mon
ey OF their own nor could borrow
any.

A Peculiar Campaign.

Next Tuesday closes one of the
most peculiar campaigns ever
experienced in this state. Re-
publicans are confident and ag-
gressive, proud of their party,
it's policies and it's leaders. The
Democrats are hating and fear
full, without an issue or ralIying
cry. A few leaders are vainlv
trying to prcserve the. organiza-
ton for their own future use,
and hope all the populists will
now become democrats. The
hope seems to be an idle one, as
only those populists who were
formerly democrats are going
back to their old party. For
the first time in years the state
ballot appears with no populist
ticket upon it, and the state has
bid good bye to populism.
In Hand county the republi-
cans are united and strong in
their republicanism, with princi-
pies to stand for ard a good
state and county ticket to vote
for. They appeal to the reason
OF the voter, and cordially invite
all citizens to join them in car
rying out republican principles.
The way to do so is to vote the
whole republican ticket.
In the county there is a popu-
list ticket. 1t stands alone on
the ballot with no state ticket.
Why did the leaders not hoist
the democratic banner alone in
the county as they did in the
state? All, no. Once more
they will attempt to fool the
voter with Peoples Party and
Reform, /" because they feared
some of their independent voters
would not yet swallow democ-
racy pure and simple. But this
is the last time.
Their leaders and candidates
have no issue or principle to
work for. Their campaign is
purely a personal one of vote
for me, /" because of good fellow
ship, or because of some silly
yarn against some republican.
No party can last upon such a
basis, and even in Hand county
the end of the populist party is
in sight. This year it is just a
last desperate efforts to elect a
few of the boys to county
office-no issue, no principle, no |
future. Farewell populism. |

FOUR MEN ARE KILLED.
Result of an Explosion of Gas in the Stafford
Mine.
(By the Associated Press.)

Fairmont, w. Va, Sept. f22.-Four men
are dead, three of them unidentified, and
their faces and bodies so badly burned
and blacknened that Identification is al
most impossible and five others are ly-
ing in different wards at the miners
hospital here suffering from cuts,
bruises and other injuries as a result of
a gas explosion at a coal shaft located Al
STAFFORD, this county, today.
The dead: Charles Cook, of this couI-
ty,l aged thirty years; John c. Williams
Martins Ferry, Ohio, forty years; Au.
gust A. Mel, jamestown, n. Y. Samuel
Tarquenis, Italian
The injured: John Heating, of Farm
ington, this county; George Jenkins. Bar
racksyille, this county; j. J. Williams,
this city; r. H. Moore, Connellsville,
Pa; George Stronske6ie, Uniontown
Pa.
In addition to these seven more men
are missing and there seems not to be
the slightest doubt that the men are
dead The superintendent claims that
at the usual hour of commencing opera
ton this morning, sixteen men went to
the bottom of the shaft, which is two
hundred and eighty feet, thence into their
respective rooms of working. The bodies
of but nine of the sixteen men have
been recovered and the remaining ar
unquestionably dead. This evening a
force of men are searching the mines for
the lost bodies, although it is with con-
siderable difficulty this is being done on
account of the fire and horrible stencil
from the burning of horse flesh, etc. The
disaster was caused by the gas from a
leaking pipe that extends several feet
back in the shaft, being ignited from
lamp carried by one of the miners now
lying dead.
