WARNED THE ENGINEER.
Heard Ticking on Window Pane
That He Understood as Signal

10 0IORs
"The other evenin'," said the fat
engineer, II was called to make a
particularly fast run. We weren't to
run on any schedule, cause when
you're goin' to make fast run sched-
ule is just about as much use as a
water tax in Hoboken. They ran us
extra-extra fast.

Right aroun' the end of Millers'
Ten Degree curve there's a facin'
sidin' which is protected by sema-

white light when we whizzed by it,
lettin' me know everything was all
right down at the switch.
Just as we were takin' the curve,
l thought I heard the faint tickin' of
a telegraph instrument. At first
thought it was imagination, but listen
in more intently I found that I was
not mistaken Some one with a not
too steady hand was tryin' to make
Morse characters.
Il could get the first two letters all
right. They were St After that it
was a tumble. Finally the word came

Finally that stop business grated
so on my nerves that I just shut off.

Just as I got the sight again we

switch ball shown red Well, l sanded

point of the sidin'. If we'd come
aroun' there at full speed we'd a been
into the string of cars on that switch
before you could have winked.
Il started up once more feelin'
about as limp as a man with a wooden
leg, n we'd no more got shakin' 'em
up when the tickin' started agin. The
sound seemed to come from outside
the cab, so I looked there. What do
you suppose it was? When we start

jumper n hung it up on a peg in the
cab. 1t swung lose n when we got

"The company investigated the

that the heat had expanded wire just
enough to make the mistake in the

KEEPING FILES OF PAPERS.

The Louisville, KY, Herald ad-
yances a new idea-that of keeping a
file in every county OF the state Of the
daily and weekly papers. 1t sives It's
reasons as follows:
1.-The value of newspaper files is
too little understood. the File emings-
burg Times-Democrat was recently
burned out. The loss includes the
files of the paper for nearly twenty
years, embracing the loo history OF
the town, the family records Of the
county and political annals of the
state at large. This valuable register
of contemporaneous history, the sto.
ry of whole generation, is now in
ashes. The loss is irreparable. Nor
labor, nor money, nor inventiveness
can restore the burnt volumes. No
record in any county office can sup
ply the information to be had from
the files Of the county papers. Should
not every county keep it's local papers
on file and have them from time to
time, bound in book form, for pur-
poses of consultation and information
on historical, political and even legal
questions? If newspaper Office files
are destroyed, the county files shall
remain. Every county spends money
bringing infinitely less returns than
would the outlay for the county pa
per.
"The Herald has advocated the sub
scription by schools and colleges for
state and county papers. The Elem,
ingsburg disaster, parallel by many
another in this and other states. sug.
gests that counties do likewise and
that the person in custody of county

boys and girls in current events

The suggestion of the Herald as t

it.

Scheafnocker for Sheriff.

Grant Scheafnocker, of this place,
candidate for the Republican nomina-
tion for sheriff, has been over almost
the entire county and has received great
encouragement from the voters. Mr..
Scheafnocker is laboring man, and for
that reason will, no doubt, receive a
large vote from the laboring men of q
county, but this class of men are
the only class that will give Grant sup
port at the primary election, as a larg
number of professional and business
men will vote for him. Grant does not
have much money to put into this cam
paign and is making the fight on merit.
He is well qualified to fill the office of
sheriff of Jefferson county, and If nomi-
mated and elected will make a good
official.

Should be Stocked.

There is nice little artificial lake
between Wishaw and Reynoldsville,
used as a reservoir by the r. p. Coal &
Iron Company, that ought to be stocked
with calico bass. AS the water is used
for boilers, no sulphur water from the
mines is permitted to run into it, and it
would appear to be an ideal place for
any sort of fish suited to small lake.
If somebody would assume the RESPONSE

it, we weuld be glad to make an effort
to secure the necessary fry for the
purpose.-Punxsutawney Spirit.

TO the Public
The reports that own stock, or that

cense, or for the performance or non
performance of any other act or duty on
the Bench, | will Immediately resign my
position and withdraw my candidacy
from before the people. Moreover, l
will pay all expenses connected with
proving any of the above mentioned
charges.
