BRYAN DIDN'T
LOSE Any SLEEP
LINCOLN. Neh.. Nov

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. T.
Just because he was defeatedIfor the
presidency for the third time, William
Jennings Bryan didn't lose any sleep.
The candidate slept like rock last
night and arose at q. III. much re-
treshed and in excellent spirits The
Republican landslide didn't affect his
appetite either, for he ate a hearty
breakfast and then read the morning
newspapers closely, He announced
that he would wait for more complete
returns from Ohio, Indiana, Maryland,
West Virginia and Nebraska before he
would issue any statement on the cleo
tion.
Bryan expressed great qualification,
however, over his victory in Lincoln
and Lancaster county and over the
outlook in Nebraska When Bryan
read the returns from Lincoln show
ing that he had carried wo-thirds of
the precincts in the city. he fairly
beamed.

ORDER OF COUNCIL
NOT CARRIED OUT

Some surprise is expressed that the
new sidewalk on West Mahoning
street at the south west corner of that
thoroughfare and Mill street has not
been repaired as ordered by council at
it's last meeting, nearly three weeks
ago.
Pursuant to that action as required
by the ordinance notice was posted on
the premises giving the owner five
days to repair the sidewalk, otherwise
the borough would proceed to do the
work at the owners expense
Owing to the long delay the resi-
dents of West Mahoning street are
fearful that the bad pavement will be
permitted to lie over another winter.
They can not see why the order, once
made should not be carried.
Street Comm issioner Z. S. Miller
has been interviewed and he states
that he is ready to proceed with the
work just as soon as the building COM
mittee Of council givs him the proper
instructions, specifying the kind of
sidewalk to be laid, etc.

COUNTRY EDITORS
DAILY DUTIES

The country editor is an animal
States, portions of Europe, Asia aud
Madagascar He is biped, centipede
and every other kind of "pede"
known to natural history. If he didn't
have so many hands and legs, he
couldn't perform the duties of a coun-
try editor. Your Uncle Toby was once
an editor But he had a strong con-
stitution and recovered. In a majority
of cases the patient does not recover.
The disease is not contagious. you
have to run after it.
AS a rule, the country editor is not
ornamental, but is useful. Every body
uses him. The regular duties OF the
country editor are to gather news from
all over the county, and all other
counties where his subscribers have
relatives living, write editorials,
obituaries and accounts OF weddings
to set type, make up forms" do job
work, fold aud mail the paper, solicit
ads and locals and smoke cob pipe,
swear at the devil and throw the
shooting stick at the cat.
country editor of light weight
can't afford to tell the truth. II he
did, he d probably get the "stufin"
licked out Of him every day.
II the bride is hump shouldered.
the editor is expected to say she is
beautiful and accomplished. If a
candidate has record that ought to
put him in the penitentiary. the edi-
tor is expected to say he is honest, up
right and capable.

locomotive BLEW
OUT A TUBE

The d. L. q ". passenger train due
to arrive here at 10: 10 a. m. sswas de-
layed over two hours at Cameron Tues
day by an accident, which might
have proved very serious.
There were a good many passengers
at the station here waiting to take the
train, among them being James Scar
let, Esq. T. J. Price and W. A. Sech-
ler, who were bound for New York.
When the train failed to arrive
Northumberland was called up. 1t was
known that the train was stranded
somewhere between Northumberland
and Danville. A special engine, there
fore, was sent out to see what was the
matter and to afford assistance, If
necessary.
About 1915 O'Clock the passenger
train drawn by the locomotive sent
out from Northumberland came rolling
into Danville.
The disabled engine-No. 460-was
brought along with the train, dead.
Its engineer was doc" Whitney.
2 The passenger train had reached
Cameron and was running along at
fast clip when the locomotive blew
out one of it's Tubes.
The entire body OF steam was let in
to the fire box. The furnace doors
were blown open and a red hot cur
rent of fire poured back over the ten
der.
The first intimation the passengers
had that anything had happened was
when they saw the stream of red hot
Goals flying by the car windows to-
ward the rear of the train. 1t was
only an instant until the locomotive
was without fire or steam. Meanwhile
the train had been brought TO a sud
den stop by applying the emergency
brake
Charles Schonmaker, the fireman,
was standing at the furnace doors and
was slightly burned. 1t is regarded as
miraculous that he was not killed.
At Danville the disabled engine was
sidetracked aud the engine sent in re-
lief took the train to Scranton 1t left
Danville at 12 80 o'clock. The down
passenger train due to arrive here at
II :5l was delayed by the accident.

DARING ATTEMPT
TO ROB DWELLING

Two men, supposed to be tramps,
residence of Lewis Coates, East Market
street, Monday night. Mr.. Coates.
who is painter employed at the hos
pital for the insane, occupies one of
George d. Edmondson's residences,
near the gas works.
On Monday evening Mr.. Coates, ac-
companied by his wife, went down
town to do some shopping, leaving
their three children at home.
1t was scarcely more than O'Clock
when two men. each armed with a
club, entered the house and attempted
to intimidate the children. By threats
and by brandishing their clubs they
tried to keep them from making an
outcry. Failing they retreated.
One of the children ran into the
back yard where she notified Mr.. Sny-
der, neighbor. In response he came
to the children s aid, but there were
no signs of the marauders.
After Mr.. Snyder left, the two men
re-entered the house and searched un-
der the rugs and in the drawers for
valuables They found nothing that
suited their fancy except some silver
knives and forks. Meanwhile, the
children were terror-stricken and, al
though they cried loudly. they were
unable to bring assistance. AT this
juncture gentleman who boards in
the family returned home. The rob-
bers suddenly disappeared and it was
thought they had fed. The boarder,
in company with Mr.. Snyd er. who re
turned to render assistance, however,
searched the cellar and the lower story
of the house.
Scarcely had the search been aband-
oned when the eldest girl. who was
standing at the open door. was struck
in the back by one of the stolen knives
thrown from some part of the house.
Another knife. mysteriously thrown,
struck the window, breaking the glass.
The robbers were not seen, but il is
believed that they escaped from the
dwelling in the confusion and were
probably hiding in the second story
when the lower part OF the hou use was
being searched
Two suspicious looking oharaeters
were observed in the vicinity of the
gas house just before Mr.. Coates resi-
dence was entered

INJURIES CAUSE
farmers DEATH

Joseph Tanners widely known Mon
tour county argioulturist, died yester-
day morning at o'clock at the home
of his son, James Tanner, Liberty
township.
Mr.. Tanners death was due to in
juries received last Saturday, when he
was attacked by a vicious sheep. When
the sheep set upon Mr.. Tanner the ag-
ed man was felled to the ground, sus.
tanning several fractured ribs and in
ternal injuries which were responsible
for his demise.
The deceased was aged n years, ,
months and l3 days. Formerly and for
many years he was a resident OF Derry
township. He is survived by five chill
dren as follows: James, Calvin and
Mrs. Jacob Boyer, of Liberty town
ship; Mrs. Charles Hollobaugh, of
Derry township; John Tanner, of
Frosty Valley.
The funeral will be held Friday
morning at 10 O'Clock from the home
of James Tanner. Interment will be
made in the Strawberry Ridge ceme-
tery

death RATE
ABNORMALLY Low

The local registrars report for Octo-
ber reveals the lowest death rate for
this season of the year that has occur
red since the law relating to vital sta
tistics has gone into effect. During the
month seventeen deaths were reported
OF these four occurred at the hospital
for the insane.
During October, 1907, twenty three
deaths occurred. Only once since the
bureau was established did the death
rate fall as low and that was in
the months OF July and August last
when the deaths reported were
respectively fifteen and seventeen. a
low death rate, however, is perfectly
natural in midsummer. The anomal
Gus conditions prevailing last month
may no doubt be attributed to the alb
normally warm and salubrious wealth
er that prevailed. In September, the
present year, twenty five deaths were
reported.
While the death rate fiuctuates the
number of births seem to vary but lit
tie. In September last offsetting TWEEN
five deaths were twenty-five births.
In July as against fifteen deaths there
were thirty-two births. The births for
October have not as vet all been re-
ported to the local registrar, but it is
safe to assume that the total will not
fall below those of the months quoted
above.
Among the contagious diseases scar
let fever seems to be still in the as
cendancy. Fourteen cases of this dis
ease were reported during October.
Among infectious diseases none are
more dreaded than scarlet fever. The
disease at present seems to exist in a
mild form and good many children
are taken i'll with it and recover with
out the aid of physician. Such cases
of course are not reported,a a circumst-
ance that would imply that the dis
ease prevails to greater extent than
is known to the public. Luckily no
deaths have resulted from scarlet few
er.
During October two cases of diph-
liberia, with one death from that dis
ease, were reported.
During the month there was one
case each of pneumonia, erysipelas,
malarial fever and pulmonary tuber-
culosis.
For the first time in a long period
the town seems clear of typhoid fever,
not single case being reported during
October.

HARD SEASON ON
COAL DIGGERS

The coal dredges, which resumed
work last week when the river rose
are not meeting with very much sue
cess, very little coal being brought in.
The river, which even after the rise
was not high enough to enable the
dredges to work to an advantage is
already falling. Peter G.. Baylor S
dredge is still stranded out in the riv-
er where it lay during the dry season.
Under the most favorable circum.
stances the season that remains for
digging" coal is short, even if the
river should rise sufficiently to enable
the dredges to work to an advantage
1t is impossible to extract coal after
the slush ice begins to run.

Mrs. Geist was rs years of age, and
