Rochester. N. ". Oct. 30.--Mr.
Hearst was Informed by the Associa-
ted Press of the court OF appeals de-
cision. He expressed his qualification
by snying:
"The victory is more than n victory
for the league or for these candI-
dates. II Is victory for all the peo-
pic. II faves hope that In time we
may win the victory to have the peo-
pies votes cast at tho last election,
honestly counted and the result hon
cstly declared.
The newspapers. and our oppon-
ents who have been making false
statements about a deal must feel
rather foolish In view OF the earnest
efforts we have made to win these
battles for the people and OF the
success we have achieved"

A CHAPTER IN
KNIGHTHOOD

Someone has said that It is always
the hidden side which is most beau
tiful. Certainly It is true of the
character OF great many people
men and women alike.
And speaking OF the hidden side. -
we saw the saying acted in real life
not long in the character of Bob
Bruce. and II impressed us so forci-
bly, at the time that we cannot resist
the temptation OF telling Il to the pub
lic--with the hopes that Mr.. Bruce
Will pardon us for It. IL happened In
this way: Soon after Mr. Bruce was
nominated. We saw him at the rail-
road station here. We we're talking
about the campaign, and II occurred
to us to tell him of an effort that
might be made In a certain part OF
the District to bring out a piece OF
scandal on his opponent, Col. Slemp.
Mr.. Bruce at once expressed dIsa-
proval and said that II such a thing
were done It would be carried out
over his protest. He then added:
II cannot countenance a campaign OF
that kind. II Is true that want 10
go to Congress: II is an ambition that
I hold dear, but casting everything
else aside, my opponent has some In
nocent daughters. and before I will

the political campaign OF 1908. the
issue possibly being forced by the
present campaigning of william Jen-
nings Bryan. according to Col. Henry
Watterson Of Louisville. who spent
few hours In Chicago yesterday.
Regarding the present campaign. he
paid tribute to Bryan's personality.
saying: bryan is the most per-
suasive politician since the time OF
Thomas Jefferson. and he is a grea,
deal like Jefferson. suave, bland, pa.
tient and. above all. persevering and
hard man to withstand. His In.
huence over an audience Is strong
and he leads It with him."
President Roosevelt he held to be
"bristly-full OF bristies-but a
good. strong man. and also driver. /"
He said the difference between Bry.
an and Roosevelt was that of day
and night. "Where one leads with
abandonment and patience. the 9th.
er drives with force and tenacity
and both never know when they are
beaten" he said.

ANTHRACITE IN
WEST VIRGINIA

While drilling a well near Berkeley
Springs. a seven foot vein of anthra-
cite coal was struck at a depth of
1875 feet. The coal was found to be
the same quality as the Pennsylvania
anthracite, and is part of the vein be-
tween Berkeley nd Morgan counties,
which is now being explored. with a
view to development, by Pittsbure
capitalists.
If found to be in paying qualities
the field will be one OF the richest in
the world and will put anthracite
coal into Baltimore and Washington
cheaper than what is now being paid
for bituminous coal.

DEAD LETTERS

The number OF letters and other
pieces OF mail, that go astray and
fail to reach their destination, is
truly astonishing. During the last
year more than 100000 pieces OF
,wail stranded In the dead let
ter office. The fault Is not with the
mail. Our postal system is as near
perfect as any human organization
can be made. The trouble is that
many letters and papers are SO ille-
gibly addressed that even experts
are at fault In trying to make out
the chirography. So these missives go
TO the dead letter Office. There they
are opened and II the sender can be
ascertained they are sent back to
the writer. but I'm many cases there
is no signature, and the only dispo-
sition to be made OF the letter or pa
per Is to burn II. The work at the
dead letter Office would be greatly
facilitated II writer's would always
put their own address on the out.

Frozen Apples

The severe storm which visited
the East and South last week, and
referred to in our last issue, did
much damage to the apple crop,in
Highland. While the crop was by
no means universal throughout the
county, some sections were amply
favored and the fruit trees were
bending. This was especially true
of the Monterey com munity and
some sections Of Crabbottom and
Back Creek.
Tn most instances, farmers had
gathered some Of their fruit. but
the unlocked for storm caught
thousands Of bushels OF apples
many Of them fine winter varieties
hanging Oh the trees. and they
we're frozen to the core.
As a matter of course these were
unfit for storing awav. and, with
a view to minimizing the loss,
hurried preparations were made to
convert the frozen fruit into cider,
aud all sorts of improyised mills
and presses have been running on
"rush orders" during the week.
Now, this output Of so much APP
pie juice in Highland will create
"smiles, not here, Of course. but on
the countenances Of those disposed
to poke fun at us, because it carries
with 1t the idea Of war whoops, toss
iugiats and hilarity generally.WIth
us, however, where even the sale II
cider is prohibited--or regulated
we know that it means, mainly,
vinegar--just vinegar, but vinegar,
world without end! -
This is making the most OF the
misfortune, and, while we may
have grown ,"sour" over it, there is
still room for thankfulness.
