His was a fearless soul,
As drew his feet anear the mystic
river,
That flows between this life and the

He felt that when his toilworn spirit
with duty laurels won, had quit
the earth,
A gathered host Of bright immortals
waited,
To welcome him unto the glad new
birth.
The loyal eyes that beamed with kind.

But lis the blindness Of earth alone.
He gazes now through glad, immortal
eyes.
Upon the glorious spread beyond the

Visiting is the order of the day. !.
Manuel Layne and family gave his
mother and sisters and friends call
last week. They spent many happy
moments with friends and relatives
who were sorry to see them return to
their home at PetrOs.
The mine workers had a picnic the
4th and had a nice time.
We have had some cases of fever
here.
Or Fairchilds is very sick with ty-
phoid fever
Work is good here now. The com
pany is starting to build road over
mile long to block of as fine working
coal as they ever had here.
The fisherman says, Don't be mean,
boys Sometimes l wonder what a
mean man thinks about when he goes
to bed, when he turns out the light and
lies down alone He is then compelled
to be honest with himself Not a
bright thought, not generous i'm
pulse, not word of blessing, not a
grateful look comes back to him, not a
penny dropped into the palm of pow
erty, not the balm of a loving word
dropped into an aching heart, no sun
beam of encouragement cast upon a
struggling life, no strong right hand
Of fellowship reached out to help some
fellow men to his feet. When none of
these things come to him as the 'God
bless you" of the departed day, how
he must hate himself; how he must
try to roll away from himself and
sleep on the other side of the bed when
the only victory he can think of is
some mean victory, in which he has
wronged neighbor. No wonder he
always sneers when he tries to smile
How pure and fair and good all the
rest of the world must look to him and
how dreary must his own path appear.
F. Why, even one isolated act of mean
ness is enough to scatter cracker
crumbs in the bed of the average man
and what must be the feelings of q
man whose whole life is given up tC
mean acts when there is so much suff-
ering and heartache and misery in the
world Anyhow, why should any one
add.a pound of wickedness or sadness
to the general burdens. Don't be
mean, boys, suffer injustice thousand
times rather than commit it once.

Selection of Men.

Editor News: take this method of
expressing some of my views to the
voters of the 7th and 8th districts in
the selection Of men for county offices.
Good government is not question of
politics in every case, although, some.
times it is the republican and some
times the democratic official who is re-
creant to his trust. 1t is purely mat
ter of business, honest, faithful per-
Torrance of duty, efficiently and with
out favor The people of Marion
County will shortly be called upon to
select county officers and as we believe
they cannot be too careful for them
selves and the community in which
they live, let us lay partisanship
aside and look to the best interest of
our county in the selection of these
men. Especially is this true in our To-
cal matters. Vote for men who will
look to the interests of all the people
In the matter of the county court it
is time that citizens were getting busy
to fill the same with men of known a.
bility and integrity. If the redistrict-
ing of our county by act Of the last
legislature is not to be made farce,
taxpayers will vote only for men whose
standing and character promises popu-
lar and not selfish or partisan repre-
sentation.. In view of the many in
dustries that may locate in our county
in the near future, it would be Grimm
al negligence and a scandulous disre-
gard of public obligation if the PEG.
pie fail to improve i'll the selection Of
men to do the business of the people il
the future. There may be questions Of
great interest to come before the coun-
ty court to be acted upon that will be
of great interest to the tax payers OF
the county.
This is something to think seriously
of until thought ripens into vigorous,
patriotic and efficacious action.
would be glad to hear from any others
that can give deeper thought upor
the subject,

Non.union Labor's Deficiency.

Editor News: We beg to submit a
report of the non-union output of coal
here at Ramsay and Reed Hill mines,
showing what the union, if it had been
in charge would have gotten out, and
put out, excepting few days that we
failed to get.
At Ramsay mines non-union output
in January, 1905, was 1873 railroad cars
of coal. In February, 1872; in March,
251; in April, PAL; in May, 1858; in
June, 1886, or total of 1906 railroad
cars. The number of working days
were 146, or nearly nine cars per day.
The average of the union men for the
same number of days based on previous
figures would have been 3,212 railroad
cars, or an average of % cars per day.
Hence the deficiency of the non-union
miners is 1905 railroad cars for the
months mentioned, and their output is
less than one-half what the union pro-
duced.
For Reed Hill mines the figures
would read thus. No. of days worked
by the non union men in February,
March, April, May and June, 1875.
The output for February was All cars
for March, 47S cars; for April, SAT
cars; for May, $50 cars; for June 513
cars. Shortage as compared with un-
ion mining 2499. The number of rail
road cars mined per day by non-union
labor figures out very small fraction
over 91-5 cars.
Let us see what the union would
have done in the same time as based
on the previous average established at
those mines of 30 cars per day. With
1875 working days and 30 cars per day
the men would have gotten out 1850
cars in the same time as the non-union
men got out their 1851 cars, or over
three times the output.
We can produce these figures in tab
ulated form at any time.
Now, the men who are at work here,
we are informed, have been told that
they get about all they can do, but
when we union men were at work we
could not get more than two-thirds as
much as we could do. So we could
have loaded great deal more coal if
the chance had been given us.
We are in position to know that
these figures are true.

Charles Ashburn, while running his

horse stepped in post hole, hence the

is to his head and was caused by the
fall and not by the horse falling on
him, as was first reported.

Benzine and carbolic acid one gal.

moths. But it cannot be used in deli.
cate fabrics, and from it's inflammable
character must be used with great
caution. A hand atomizer is the
easiest way to apply it.
The fumes of burning camphor gum
or sulphur will suffocate moth millers.
1t is a disagreeable operation, but is
so effective that any room where they
are known to be should be fumigated
this month. To do this with entire
success remove the contents of trunks
and wardrobes and hang on backs OF
chairs; close doors and windows; set
a painful of water In the middle of the
room, at a safe distance from all the
hangings and furniture; in this place
a small iron pot half filed with ashes
and camphor; for a room 15x1S feet

there Is no danger; leave the room as
soon as you are satisfied that your
furniture is in no danger of taking
fire; allow the mass to burn itself out,
which 1t will do in half an hour; open
the windows and doors for an hour.
Moths prefer soiled to clean garments.
The first step toward the safety OF
garments before putting them away is
to turn pockets inside out, beat out all
dust, saturate and clean with benzins
If necessary. Allow the clothes to
hang in the sunlight for several
hours. Moths hate the light. They
work in the dark.
