GERMAN POLITICS.
Theatrical Posters Crowded off Boards
 By PrORaRandn.


 Berlin, Jan. 7.-Election posters crowd the theatrical advertisements on the public bill boards through the capital. party workers stand at street corners handing out election appeals and numerous political meetings are held here nightly.
 Albert Traeger, the well known 1u- rist, Liberal politician and poet. in a speech last night gave a somewhat au- thoritative expression of the changed position of the Liberals since Chancel- Tor von Buelow's letter to Lieutenant General von Liebert, chairman of the managing committee of the Empire League. disclosing the motives of the government in dissolving the Reich stag. Herr Traeger said:
 Every one of us thought that von Buelow would come forward with a clear. firm program tending towards Liberalism, but whoever hoped that a new course would be set was thor oughly disillusioned. The chancellor gave us clearly to understand that he merely wants to secure an alternative majority over those who are not will ing to support all the government pro- posals. We can supply only a govern ment based on the immovable principles of Liberalism"

Is It Known.

There are probably parents who are not aware, that we carry a Jtock of boys fine shoes such as are acknowledged to be the finest ,n the land.
 In years gone by, we remem- Der how difficult it was to please the eye and yet have the neces- sary wear.
 A man would buy pair for his boy and look to the wearing quail ities, but when some were shown to a mother, while she was not un- mindful of the wear, more often than not, even if she bought them was not pleased with the bungle- someness of the shoe.
 That has been overcome by many manufacturers and today we can find boys and little gentle mems as the smaller sizes are call ed; which combine the wearing qualities, coupled with style.
 This is essentially so with the fine line we are. trying to bring to the attention of interested ones
 All of which is true to a certain extent with those we sell at pop ulsr prices,
 We have a big stock of boy's shoes at the present time, hund. reds of pairs in our basement wait ing to be transferred to the main

OVER 6O-FOOT PRECIPlCf'
Escape of Occupants of Famous 49,
Hour New York Chicago Train
Wrecked as Mineral Point Little
Short Of Miraculous.

Johnstown, Pa, Special. - Tne
Pennsylvania special, the famous 49,
hour New Iork-ChicaSo train of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, was wrecked
at Mineral Point seven miles east of
here Saturday about midnight None
ef the passengers were killed, and
but one, John u. Kline, of Joliet, ILL.,,
probably fatally injured. The train
crew also escaped serious injury,
Practically all the ST. passengers on
the train were more or less hurt
Ten of the injured were taken to the
Altoona Hospital, and the others
were able to continue their Journey.
The escape of the occupants OF the
train from death was little short of
miraculous. The train was running
at the high speed Of more than so
miles an hour when the last three
cars of the train, Pullman slecpcrs,
suddenly left the rails. They turned
down twice, then slid down the 60
foot embankment into the Concmaugh
river. The ears went through the
heavy ice, but there was little water
in the river so that there was no
danger of drowning.
The wreck it is thought, was eaus-
cd by the dropping OF the brake rig
ging on the first sleeper following
the locomotive and combination car.
The rigging lodged under u tie, de-
railing the following cars. The To-
eomotive and combination car re-
manned on the track.
