MEN IMPRISONED
IN A COAL BANK
MEN OF THE WHOLE COUNTRY
TO THE RESCUE.
Hundreds of Tons of Earth Fell,
Closing Entrance of the
Mine.

Huntington. w. Va, Oct. 14.-Ga-
briel, Thomas and James, the three
sons of the Rev. Thomas Napier. of
East Linn, twenty miles south of here
became prisoners in a coal bank this
morniny at s o'clock, and every man
in the whole county is digging indus
triously in an effort to gain an en-
trance into the mine and ascertain II
the men are still living. The poison
ing atmosphere of the interior of the
place is such as to cause the greatest
apprehension and at 9 o'clock tonight
the rescuers are still pushing on, be-
lieving that there may be some chance
for the unfortunate men.
The trio had been driving a way
into the coal bank for some days on
their mountain farm and had progress
ed more than a hundred feet into the
hill. This morning the three men en-
tered the mine and while inspecting the
interior and preparing to erect sup
ports to the roof, the entire front
caved in and hundreds of tons of earth
cut OF their exit
A boy passing noticed the cave-in
and knowing of the presence OF the
boys within, gave the alarm and an
army Of men began the work Of rescue
The entire county for miles around is
excited and even women are engaged
In assisting in removing the debris
from the opening.

HARMONY
WON q SUIT. FOR CoMMis ssloNs
ON LAND SALE IN JUS
TiCE COURT.

John Harmony, plaintiff, in jury
trial before Justice Barrick, won his
suit against Mary and b. r. Shull, yes
terday. Harmony was suing for $42
alleged to be due him as commission
for sale Of land In Plain township
owned by the defendants. The case
was a bitterly fought one, Harmony
being represented by Attorney Webber,
the defendants by Attorney Piero.
According to the testimony the
Shulls had, time ago, informed Har-
mony that that they owned a strip Of
land that they wanted to sell for
s2,500 Harmony, who has been doing
a real estate brokerage business Sc
cured as a prospective purchaser one
Edward Miller. but the price, s2,50O.
was thought too high for him. Fur
ther negotiations reduced this about
$500 lower, but yet the sale was lack
ing. Jackson Pontius, who also man
ipulates real estate transactions and
has been on very personal terms with
the plaintiff up to short time ago,
discovered the intended deal Shull
was seen by Pontius and the price, ar
ter their conferences, was still re-
duced, going to sum of s2,10O. These
figures were acceptable to Miller and
he bought through Pontius' agency.
Harmony, to secure the benefits IN
what had been to him an almost com
pleted deal, sued the Shulls for the
commission of two per cent Of the total
amount, or $42. During the time OF
the testimony many Of the differences
which have arisen between Harmony
and Pontius were aired. The argu-
ments that both attorneys presented
to the jury were well grounded on quo
tations from supreme court decisions
handed down in other states on liti-
cations Of like kind and from Nee
cham on Agency"

THE STRENGTH OF
A MOTHERS LOVE

FOUR YEARS.
When He Threatened to Kin Her She
Was Obliged to Appeal to
the Police.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 14.-The strength
Of mothers love was perhaps never
better demonstrated hero than today
when Mrs. Mary Jones, the proprietress
Of little candy store, after protecting
demented son from the eyes of the
world for nearly four years, was com
PEELED to appeal to the police for pro-
lection, he having threatened to kill
her.
During the strike or 1900, her son,
John, aged 35, who was a great reader
and student, became demented from
over-study Of the strike situation and
retired to small room over the candy
store For time, he came downstairs
to take his meals, but for some time
now, though strong in body, he never
left the room and allowing his hair and
beard to grow, remained in seclusion.
While the neighbors wondered as to
his whereabouts, the mother, fearful
that he would be sent TO an insane asy-
lum, kept her secret until last night,
when he dropped his quiet attitude and
began chasing for gun with the avow-
et intention Of killing her. When she
ran out Of the house. shouting for help
the recluse for the first time in four
years stepped from the house. Chief
of Police Hahn and an assistant
promptly arrived, but Jones took to the
woods where he is still In hiding.

sordid struggle for existence
into glorious effort to become
that which they have admired

"But such a new generation is
possible only through the regeu-
Grating power ofthe truth that "a
mans life consisteth not in the
abundance Of the things that he
posseseth. , We must learn to rec
ognize the real realities, and to
hold them far above the perish

men call real.

Comes not in what we do or what we

But dwells forevernore in what we

Trirmphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back, or they may be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place Of diseased sections Of the
veins; antiseptic dressings are applied
to wounps, bruises, burns and like in
jurles before Inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without maturation
and in one-third the time required by
the old treatment. Chamberlaln's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied to-
such injuries: causes them to heal very
quickly. It also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and i4 will save you time
and money, not to mention the incon-
venience and suffering which such in
juries entail. For sale by The R. B.

position upon any question Whlch ne
could not defend upon moral grounds:
He sought for no higher recognition OF
his services than the approval OF the
good people of the State
A Memorial day orator, speak
ing to a South Carolina audience,
recently declared that the reason
why the cause Of the Confedeacy
is not a Lost Cause is that it be-
queathed to US, as an imperisha-
bic legacy, two exalted ideals
that of a lofty and chivalrous
manhood and that Of a pure and
gracious womanhood These
are the splendid heritage of the
boys and the girls of today. And
it is in the strength and by the
inspiration born Of these ideals
that the men and women of the
South. in the face OF suferings
and calamities that might have
overwhelmed a weaker people,
are rearing anew, amid the ruins
of their old time homes and in
stitutions, the superb fabric of a
social and political life whose
beauty and dignity and benef-
cence will some day, in the prov
idence of God, make them a
greater power for good in the
world than they ever were be-
fore.
The cynic or the materialist
will tell you that these results
have been made possible by the
industry and activity of our peo-
pie, by their business sagacity,
by the worldly wisdom which
has learned to keep an eye on
the main chance" bringing
about the influx of capital and
the accumulation of wealth. This
is but half the truth. The men
and women who regenerate soci-
ETY. and adorn it with the charms
of virtue and the graces Of cul.
ture are the men and women Of
high ideals. That is a profound
truth which the poet puts into
the mouth Of Sir Galahad:
My good blade carves the casQues Of
men,
My tough lance thrusteth sure,
My strength is as the strength OF ten,
Because my heart is pure.
A maiden knight, to me is given
Such hope, l know not fear:
I yearn to breathe the air OF heaven
That often meet me here.
T muse on Joy that will not cease,
Pure spaces clothed in living beams,
Pure lilies of eternal peace,
Whose odors haunt my dreams.

And, stricken by an angels hand;
This mortal armor that | wear,
This weight and size, this heart and
Are touch,d, are turnd to finest air.
The clouds are broken in the sky
And thrc the mountain walls
A rolling organ harmony
Swells up, and shakes and falls.
Then move the trees, the copses nod,
Wings futter, voices hover clear
"Oh lust and faithful knight OF God.
Ride on. the prize is near"
So pass hostel, hall, and grange:
By bridge and ford, by park and pale:
All armed I ride, whate'e betlde.
Until find the Holy Grail.
But not for the young man on
ly is the lesson. 1t is for the
maiden too. For her it may not
be to fight in life's fercest bat
ties, to ride into the thick of the
fray, where fash of sword and
thrust of spear and clangor OF
shield and din of warcry make
day hideous with the sound Of
conflict and Of carnage. But
none the less surely must she
bear her part in the awful COM
bat going on between the forces
of good and evil. In those quiet
er walks Of life where her avo-
cations lie,-in the seclusion of
the home, in the peaceful retire
ment of the schoolroom, in the
atmosphere of social intercourse,
in the wider field ofreligious and
charitable work, and in all OF
those spheres of usefulness and
activity in which woman's tact
and gentleness peculiarly fit her
for effective effort, day by day,
with supreme insistence and I'M
perative force, there come to her
the duty and the opportunity to
make her ideals actualities: not
only in her own life, but in the
lives Of those who come within
the circle of her influence. And
in these days, where woman IS
being more and more freely ad-
mitted to active participation IN
the professional, educational,
literary and scientific work OF
the world, and is taking a more
and more commanding position
in the gainful occupations of life
the circle of that influence is be-
ing rapidly extended. And who
shall measure it's depth and pow.

brief months or years, but the
impartial verdict Of future gene
rations, and one which their own
consiences will endorse as just,
will be that they were traitors to
their ideals. It may be strong
language but I say deliberate
ly, that the man who suppresses
bis convictions, or gives mp his
opinions, or abandons his ideals,
in the vain effort to win place
and pelf and to be much on the
lips of men, is an enemy of the
commonwealth, deserter from
