Mine caved In.

Rogers Bros, of Oliyet, met with
serious loss, $4,000 or more by break
ing through into the old Phillips
mine one day last week. The top
came in on them and filled four en-
tries and closed up the work so that
there will be much delay and loss both
from destruction Of property and loss
of time. A part of their force is busy
getting the mine in shape and all wiil
be in readiness for the full quota in
a few weeks.

country comes from officials who
mask their iniquities under the
cloak of virtue. Pennypacker pre-
tended the most scrupulous probity
but he was constantly promoting
corruption by aiding and abetting
the venality of his subordinates.
They wanted money and he had a
thirst for honors. All contributed
the same result, the looting of the
public. But he supplemented all
their vices with that of hypocrisy.
THE INcULPATING TESTIMONY.
The report of the Expert Ac-
countants, part of which has been
withheld from the public, estab-
lished the conspiracy between Hus-
ton, Sanderson, Payne & Co. and
Shumaker. That of Charles D.
Montague, an employe of the Art
Metal Construction company, of
Rochester, N. Y, has revealed the
extortion of Congressman Cassell,
OF Lancaster county, who furnished
the metallic filing cases and metal
furniture. Cassell got from the
State $2,o72, 900 for goods which
at the trade price with the custo-
mary discount ought to have been
furnished for S4I2. 500. In other
words his graft amounted to ST.
$50 500.
These facts have been brought
out since the Commission resumed
its sessions last week. 1t has also
developed that Architect Huston
drew $50, 900 for specially design
ing these cases and furniture.
though Mr.. Montague declares that
they were not specially designed by
Huston or anybody else; that thev
are OF stock design already anti
quated and mot of the most an.
proved patterns. Therefore the
aggregate of the steal on metal fur
niture and filing cases reached a to-
tai OF SJ739, 5000. The hope is
expressed that 81 900, 900 of this
sum will be recovered by civil pro-
cesses and possibly that expectation
may be fulfilled.

delinquency this year. The candi.
date, Hon. John G. Harman, the
Chairman, Hon. George M. Dimel-
ing, and the conditions are alike
favorable. The candidate and Chair
man will fulfill the best expecta.
tions and the voters will do the rest.
THE ISSUES IN OUR FAVOR.
Besides no party has ever gone
into political conflict with issues so
clearly defined and absolutely in its
favor. There can be no misunder-
standing the questions involved.
The Democrats stand for honest ad-
ministration. Minority representa-.
ton on the governing boards in the
State will guarantee not only in
tegrity in the future but the expos.
ure and punishment of the iniqui
ties of the past. The election Of
Harman continues minority repre-.
sentation on those boards and the
success of the Republican candidate
defeats it. There is no evasion Of
these truths. They are self-evident.
With the 6ttest candidate that
could be chosen and the most capa-
Bile and efficient Chairman which
the abundant material of the party
affords, there is nothing..to be de-
sired to inspire hope and confidence.
The campaign will open with both
present in abundance and substan-
tial and enduring victory for good
government is assured. 1t won't
be political victory exactly. But
it will be triumph of the people
over corruption aud will make the
future government of Pennsylvania
a benehcence instead of fountain
of fraud. G. D. H.

THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURY, PA.

Pennypacker with great exulta-
ton declared in his statement be-
fore the Commission that by pre-
vailing on Huston to accept four
per cent. of his fee, instead of FIVE,
the usual fee, $50, 900 had been
saved to the State. AS a matter of
fact nothing was saved for in this
single grab Huston got the $50, 600
and as matter of fact he drew
$50, 900 more for specially design
ing" the chandeliers, which he
didn't design. He was An expen-
sive luxury as we'll as a corrupting
agent and he and Pennypacker
ought to be held alike responsible
and punished similarly. Any other
course will defeat justice.
AUsPIcrOUs CAMPAIGN IMPENDING
The Democratic campaign for
the election of John G. Hartman to
the Office of State Treasurer and in
cidentally to complete the reforms
and improvements in public life
which Mr.. Berry has begun will
open most auspiciously in short
time. The plans have not been out
lined as yet, but the fact that the
new and capable Chairman will be
assisted in his arbuous work by
Hon. P. Gray Meek, who has again
consented to act as Secretary of the
State Committee is reassuring. No
man in the State knows the work
as thoroughly as Mr.. Meek, and no
one could bring to it greater meas
ure of zeal, intelligence and expe-
rience.
The selection of Senator Dimel-
ing to the Craftsmanship Of the
Committee has had most hearten-
ing influence on the party, more
over. He is widely known as
sagacious, industrious and earnest
political manager and will enter
upon the work with characteristic
energy. He is the third State
Chairman Clearfeld county has fur
nished the Democratic party. The
late William A. Wallace acquired
National distinction as a political
manager aud ex-Congressman Jas.
Kerr, was little if any less success
full as State Chairman. He con-
Quoted the campaign of 1900 which
resulted in the second election of
Robert L. Pattison as Governor.
These facts work enco uraging
results in political contention. A
confident party is inevitably Sue
cessful party. "The race is not al
ways to the swift nor the battle to
the strong" Many candidate
has been defeated because neither
himself nor his friends have had
the absolute faith in his election
that is necessary to get the voters
to the polls. l apprehend no such

MYSTERIOUS

Sheriff Crowley Believes He Has Wo.
man Who Operated in
North Yakima.

After operating in this city for
several weeks about a month ago
according to the opinion of Sheriff
Crowley of Kittitas county, in Gle
Elum, Ellensburg and several other
cities, Ethel NJ. Matthews was ar.
rested in Seattle Thursday under in
structions Of Sheriff Crowley, who
holds warrant for her arrest for
defrauding an inn keeper. 1t is
stated that she jumped hotel bill
at Gle Elum for $40 and another in
Ellensburg. The authorities of this
city received a notice from Sheriff
Crowley Thursday advising that he
held warrant for the arrest of
Ethel NJ. Matthews, charged with de-
frauding an inn keeper. He de-
scribes her as being 45 years of age.
five feet five inches in height, weigh
ing 125 pounds, light gray eyes, fair
or light complexion. He states that
she left Gle Elum March 25, and
wore black hat and veil, tan colored
Jacket, blue waist and gray skirt
This description corresponds with
one given of the woman said to have
operated here. He also says that she
makes business of selling fancy
handmade ladies' collars, and stops
at hotels or lodging houses for a
few days and then mysteriously dis
appears.
Sheriff Crowley states that he be-
lieves the woman operated in North
Yakima about a month ago, and is
the woman whose actions were
brought to light in the columns OF
the Herald at that time. The police
were not aware of such a woman's
presence in this city at the time. but
the Herald secured considerable in
formation relative to some opera
lions in this city, which was pub

several of the lodging houses and one
of the hotels. She remained at these
houses for a few days and then
would move to another.
Those who fell victims to her
operations did not report the mat
ter to the authorities for fear of be-
ing exposed themselves, and her &C
lions were not known to the officials
until it appeared in the Herald, and
she had probably left the city. Sher-
if Crowley in sending the notice to
the North Yakima authorities was
of the opinion that she would re-
turn to this city and continue her
works Of theft. 1t is stated by the
Sheriff of Kittitas county that Ethel
Matthews was travelling over the
state as saleswoman of ladies' fancy
reckwear.

IRA S. KING TO Be POSTMASTER
New Arrangement Meeting With
Great Favor by the Resi-
dents of Valley.

Uncle Sam has listened to the Pc
tition of Congressman Jones and
Postmaster Lemon and has decided
upon a postoffice for the Selah val
ley. 1t will be know officially as Sc
lah and will be maintained at the
sub-station, where heretofore the
Wenas and upper Selah rural mail
was made up. Ira s. King, who has
had charge of the sub-station, has re-
ceived the appointment of postmast-
er, much to the satisfaction of the
patrons of his office. Mr.. King has
held the position of clerk for the past
nineteen months and is thoroughly
acquainted with the work that will
be required of him in his new capac-
ity
The mail for the Wenas will be
made up at Selah hereafter and as
soon as the inspector has an oppor-
tunity to view the route, No. will be
abandoned and new route estab-
lished at Selah.
The new arrangement Will give
the people of the Selah much better
service, as the mails will be carried
direct by train. Naturally the resi-
dents of Selah and the surrounding
valley are feeling good over the es-
adjustment of the postoffice.
