NerVX Lad.

Delos Blair, who drives J. II. Days
delivery wagon, had qnite an exciting
time Tuesday morning, while deliver
ing goods to their customers. The
horse became unmanageable, throwing
the lad under the wagon. He grasped
hold of the thills and held on while the
horse flew up Fifth street, dragging
Blair through the mud. AS soon as
he could get the mud out of his eyes,
he succeeded in pulling himself out of
his predicament by crawling between
the thills and catching the horse. He
had quite All experince and was lucky
to escape serious injury.

UndertakinP.

Undertaking, as the care and burial
of the dead is called, is dismal sub
ject, and one seldom discussed unless
when necessary. Yet proper informa.
ton is desirable on any subject.
Whereas, great strides and improve
ments have been made in the Furni-
ture business so also in Undertaking.
The old methods of preserving
bodies by the use of ice has been
abandoned and chemical process,
accepted in it's stead. Now it is neces.
sary for an intelligent undertaken t.
understand how to apply the proper
tests, to be sure death has really taken
place before he proceeds to embalm
or inject into the body. He must from
necessity understand the anatomy of
the body, and have some knowledge
of chemistry. This / think is sufficient
to convince the thoughtful that
person engaging in the profession
should give patient and careful study
to it. My object in writing and pub
fishing this article, is to call the at
tention of the citizens of our town
and county to the fact that | have
made a study of the standard works
of the profession for at least seven
years. Have attended the Massachu-
setts College of Embalming and hold
a diploma from same, embracing
special instructions on sanitation. dis
infection and contagion, and have
just taken a post graduate course on
Scientific EmbaIming and Funeral
Etiquette.
For those desiring her services. |

Having purchased the finest, most
complete and scientific paraphernalia
to carry or the business (the equal
cannot be found outside of cities of
the first class | am prepared to
furnish the finest goods the market
affords. In view of the above facts /
think | may be excusable in asking
for a fair share of patronage from
friends and citizens in general.

EIkins and Dynamite.

Senator Elkins has had numerous
thrilling experiences in the shipment
of dynamite and believes its transpor-
tation should be regulated in manner
that would insure safety to the public.
He has introduced a bill providing that
extraordinary precautions shall be
taken to avoid accidents in moving
this dangerous article from place to
place.
He thinks Congress should enact a
law making it a misdemeanor for trains
loaded with explosives to stop in rail
road yards, or cities where there is any
possible danger to life. The Senator
has introduced this bill in several prev
ious Congresses, but owing to the op-
position of manufacturers ofexplosives,
who contend that their business would
be seriously hampered, it has failed of
passage. Senator Elkins relates that
on one occasion he peeped out of the
window of his sleeper and was Mortified
to see a carload of dynamite being
puSHSu Ddch anu loIIh III tnS ydluS dS
trains were being made up. The car
was literally slammed about just as if
it had contained consignment of coal.
At another time the Senator looked
out of a private car and saw Italian
laborers unloading dynamite alongside.
Ore careless move or step might have
exnlOdad the antire lOt and thera
would have been a frightful loss of life.

Faust, as presented by Porter j.

Wednesday evening, was fully up to.
the expectations of the large and seleeE
audience that was present.
The acting Of the entire company
was of the highest order, and the stage
effects were perfect. The scenic and

Guilty" Said the Jury.

More than four years ago, Benjamin
ID. Greene and john F. Gaynor we're m
dicted on the charge of having robbed
the government OF vast sums Of money
in connection with harbor improvements
at Savannah, GA. Their cass has been
in the courts of this and other countries
ever since, and it was only few days
ago they were found guilty in the fed
eral court at Savannah on an indict
ment charging them with embezzlement
and conspiracy to defraud the govern
ment.
The names of few men are more fami-
liar to newspaper readers than those Of
Captain Oberlin Carter, Gaynor and
Greene. Carter had charge of the
harbor improvement and Gaynor and
Greene we're the contractors Carter, who
was involved in the conspiracy to de
fraud. was court martialed, dishonorably
discharged from the army and Sen enced
to five years. imprisonment. Captain
Carter vigorously protested his inno
cence and the testimony of Gaynor and
Greene sxonerated him completely
What effect this evidence will have re
mains to be seen.
The Gaynor and Greene case aroused
unusuel interest by reason of the deter
mined fight made in behalf of the men
in the courts II was in 1902 they were
indicted They fought extradition in
New York end then escaped to Canada.
To get them back from English soil
tested the extradition treaty with Great
Britain. IS great questions Of law were
involved, and one sensation quickly fol-
lowed another. The presiding judge at
Savannah declared the case had the
greatest record of any submitted to a
United Stare es Court in the whole history
of the government. The indicted men
were able to command unlimited means
and had the counsel of he cleverest of
lawyers.
But money and shrewd attorneys
failed in the end. and although justice
has been cheated for a long time. the
day of retribution is at hand. Tire case
may go to the supreme court, but Gay
nor and Greene must reaiZe that prison
doors are opedIng for them and that at
last they must pay the penalty for their
crime
