Newspapers and the Mails.

Our subscribers on Sewell r. F. d. No. 4
did not receive the DEMOCRAT of August
II until yesterday, August II.
The package, which was forwarded on
August II, came back to us on August l6,
with the question, Where do these papers
go?'' On the package (even though the
wrapper was missing, was printed, tSewell
Route No. 4" 1t isa mystery to us how a
mail or post Office clerk would be mystifed
as to the destination of package thus
marked Again, why should a package of
new spaoers be held either at Sewell post
Office or on the railroad from Thursday
August II, to Tuesday August IS, in a vain
effort to find where it belonged?
Until these questions are answered, we
must hold the opinion that there is gross
negligence Of duty in the postal service
either on the railroad or at Sewell or
some departments Of the Sewell office.
Our subscribers at Barnsboro complain
that the DEMOCRAT does not reach them
until Friday afternoon, whereas it is in the
sewell post Office at least by o'clock on
Thursday. Pitman subscribers complain
that frequently the DEMOCRAT does not
reach there until Friday.
Subscribers on Sickleryille route No. !
complain that frequently the DEMOCRAT
does not reach them until the following
week.
We shall make an effort to learn the OPP
erations OF the mail service and in another

OBITUARY.
GEORGE W. HARBERT, sR.

A heart which had always been with his
fellow-men, ceased throb; brain which
had been always busy, scheming to assist
fellow-man, ceased to think; hands that
had always been ready to lift up fallen
feHow-man, ceased to labor, and the eyes
Of one who had ever been respected and
honored as good citizen, an upright man,
kind friend and loving father, closed in
silent and peaceful sleep never more to
awaken among those who mourn the loss.
George w Harbert, Sr., died at his home
on South Main street, after lingering
illness about 10 p. m, Thursday, Of paraly-
ses. He was run over by horse aud
wagon Christmas night, and since he has
been falling in health until he was taken
down seriously about one week ago. lie
was born near Plank Run, March II, 1921,
and spent his boyhood days under the
wheeping willows in that farming COM
munity. When launched out into the sea
of difficulty for himself he became miller
by trade. He moved to Glassboro about
1910, and after residing here for few years
married Miss Pricilla Watson, of near
Mantua In 1856 he was first elected con-
stable under Sheriff Thomas Mathers.
Then he attended the county courts and
never missed a session until his death. He
served in that capacity under all the
Sheriff's from Matners to Jones, the one
now in office. In his young manhood he
made several importans captures, and he
became quite poplar foE his bravery and his
skill as detective.
His wife died more than year ago, and
six children survive him, viz: Mrs. Mary
l. Bing, of Woodbury.; Isaac Samuel, Ed
ward, George and Sites Harbert, all of
Glassboro.
DIR. Charles S. Heritage, physician,
worked hard to save his life, but when a
clock runs down the hands must stop, and
as Mr. Harbert had passed the mark of four
score years, prolonged life seemed most
like an impossibility, and as was said when

HUNDREDS HANGED
Russia's Drastic Treatment OF Disaf-
lection Caused by the War.

London, May 26.-The Standard
publishes a dispatch from a Russian
correspondent in whom the paper
says 1t places great confidence, con-
tanning most sensational statements
regarding the alarming condition Of
Russia as a result of the war.
The correspondent asserts that dis
turbances in various cities have been
followed by wholesale executions
without any civil trial. It is stated
that 600 persons have been hanged
in Warsaw alone, and that many 9TH
ers have been hanged in Cronstadt
and Moscow.
At the latter place the troops
buried eighty coffins containing the
The bodies were buried secretly in
the dead Of night, presumably in the
woods.
This correspondent asserts that the
war has resulted in the utter paraly-
sis Of all business, and says that even
the most sober-minded are drawing
ominous conclusions from the signlfi-
cant fact that regiments stationed In
European Russia have been retained
in their places and that only reserves
have been modified for the front.
The Standard, in an editorial, says
it publishes this correspondents state
ments under all reserve, but 1t thinks
there are many indications, such, for
instance, as the sinking of the bat
tleship Orel, that the normal disaf-
lection Of the population of Russia
has been greatly stimulated by the
war.

years ago from South Dakota, pro-
poses somewhat startling idea which

Forthcoming trip of the old Liberty
bell thru this city on its way to the
st. Louis exposition. The idea Is TO
mend the crack in this historic pro-
claimer of liberty, so that it will give
forth sound as it did in the olden
time. Probably those to whose keep
ing the bell is intrusted would pre-
fer this famous relic to remain as IL

bach Is made in all seriousness, and
he is preparing to bring 1t to the at
tention Of congress
DR.. Steinbach insists that the bell
can be mended to sound as perfect
sly as before it was cracked and with
the same tone. He says he makes
this assertion on the authority OF Her
man Julius Meyer Of Leipzig, an ex-
pert mineralogist, who has seen the
process SUCCESSFULLY undertaken with
bells In Germany. The doctor says
that the exact process of healing bell
cracks Is known to only one family,
Swedes by the name of Olson. They
operated in their native country, but,
exhausting that field, have been In
Germany for some time. DR.. Stein
bach has written to Professor Meyer

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, May &c.
Charged with the attempted murder
of his pretty sweetheart, Pearl Jones,
by cutting her throat with pen
knife, Dague Thompson, nervous
looking young man, has had an anx-
ious day In the district court listen
ing to the evidence Of the girl whom
he loved.
Both are from Ames, where their
parents are prominent. The two had
been keeping company and the young
man says his attentions were en-
couraged by her parents at sf1rst, but
afterward they sent her away. She
came to visit friend here and later
secured employment as cashier in a
restaurant.
M On the night Of Feb. % he came
here from Ames sand went to her
roomtng place. He was told that she
was out with another fellow, but was
granted permission to wait in the par
lor until she returned. He. stood in
the darkness and watched the affec-
tomato farewell which his sweetheart
gave his rival and then when she came
in he upbraided her. Her Indifference
set him in rage and he whipped out
a small penknife and made several
slashes in her throat. It is likely the
defense will be temporary insanity.

interfering with the action Of the bowels

London, May 2s.-A naval program
extraordinary is reported by the RUS
sian correspondents of the London
Times to be under consideration by a
special commission recently appointed.
Its exact extent is kept secret, but it
is known that Russia intends to lose
no time in laying down an unusually
large number of vessels Of various
types, while in addition to the sub
marines under construction or under-
going trial it is generally thought in
naval circles that at least ten will be
laid down within as little delay as pos
sible.
The Russian minister Of marine is
said to have given especial attention
to submarines and to have offered In
ducennents to submarine engineer ex-
perts to evolve an improved type.

Iowa's Fine, Booth.

Iowa is represented in the Palace
of Agriculture by a most attractive
display. There is no agricultural
product that lends itself more read
lily to decorative purposes than corn,
and every state that produces corn
has. made extensive use of it in it's
agricultural exhibit. The Iowa booth
covers 1890 square feet and is built
somewhat after the design Of the
state capitol, having four small domes
at the corners and one large central
dome. The domes areSof open frame
work, decorated with grains and
grasses, and all the supporting pillars
are covered with sections of ears Of
this cereal made into various pat
terms, the designs being filled in with
other grains.
The inside is trimmed in the same
way. In the center is a pyramid Of
eight shelves. On the lower shelf are
glass cases in which are shown the
various seed grains. The space be-
