Many persons say with a sigh,
Well. am glad the 4th is over. The
crowd was large and the day ex
tremely hot. All trains brought peo-
Pile, three coach loads coming from
the south. Some things were good
and praiseworthy and some other
wise. The Industrial parade was very
creditable and we dare not make
mention of some and omit OF hers, but
the different business firms made a
very good display. Misses Eta AL
linger and Nellie Hoover received the
award for having the incest decorat-
ed rig in the procession, which was
very pretty and showed rare taste.
The bands enlivened the occasion
with choice music which was appre-
ciated and enjoyed by the thousands
present. The fireworks were very
fine and showed very prettily from
where they were given. But the Sire
cracker" certainly almost becomes a
source of annoyance, but it may be
bit of comfort to know that every
where and everybody suffers from the
same petty annoyance. There was
drinking which is to be deplored, but
If we had had no celebration, with
the saloons here, there would have
been drinking and drunkards, so that
we shall never get our ideal until we
reach that land of eternal deliver
ance from all such evils. Report has
it that two or three gambling devices
with signed permission, ran for a
while which is difficult to understand.
1t is contrary to our laws, it is a
hagrant sin and reproach to any
people and especially in a civilized
and christianized community, as we
claim to be in a very high sense. We
have some things here which cannot
on account of law be helped now
which must be endured, but we have
a class of people in practice and
theory. thae should have the credit
of measuring up to the people of any
community in our county or State.

THE metropolitan dailies contain a
sensational story of immense depos-
its of iron and coal in Oklahoma and
Indian Territory, which agents of
Frick and Senator Hanna are on
hand to buy at Government auc-
tiOn, which is soon to come of
Great railroad Trusts have already
bought up nearly all the coal mines
in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia
and other states; but it is unlikely
that Senator Hanna is taking part in
such deal in the Territories. But
this story and the fact that the coal
fields are being bought up by the
Trusts should lead to early action by
Congress to protect the people
against such mOnOpOlies.

IT is announced from Vienna. that
the wonderful rays generated with
rhodium-brOmide, have been success
fully used in the treatment of cancer.
According to a report made to the
medical society in that city these
rays were used as a last resort in the
case of an aged patientwhO had un-
dergone several operations for the
removal of a canCerOus growth on

On July 1, the express companies
of the United States put up the rates
on all packages under so pounds
which includes nearly all sent by
the people outside business firms
twenty per cent. This is only an
other twist of the monopoly screw.
These companies were making mil
lions at the old rate. and this in
crease is only another illustration of
the greed of monopolies. When the
Government runs the railroads, there
will be no express companies, but all
sorts of freight will be carried at
low rates, and packages that now go
by express. will be sent for one-third
what they now are.
