Yesterday morning between the hours
four and five O'Clock the vapor escaping
from an empty tank car which had CON
tanned gasoline, exploded at the water
station at the foot of Fourth street in
Oakland by coming in contact with the
flame of lantern on the arm of Brake
man William Knight, of Cumberland,
who was very painfully burned about
the face and arms by the flames and
suffered fracture of the.skull by be
ing struck with the screw ;cap of the
tank, which was hurled with terrific
force when the explosion came.
For several days past the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company has been
hauling water from Oakland in oil tank
ca to supply the engines at Terra Alta
and along the Cranberry grade, the wat
er supply at these points having become
exhausted owing to the dry weather.
Tuesday an additional train of some
eight or ten tank cars was put in ser
vice to supply water for the Rowlesburg
water station, the stream at that point
from which water was pumped having
also failed. Among the cars on the
Rowleshurg train was one which had
contained gasoline and which was emp
tied but few day previous and as a
result large quantity Of gas had ac-
cumulated inside oft When Brakeman
Knight lifted the cap yesterday morn
ing the vapor rushed forth and was ex-
plodod by coming in contact with the
fame Of his lantern. The cap was hurl-
ed into his face striking him above his
eyes, fractming his skull and throwing
him some twenty feet from the car.
His glove and coat were blown off and
he was painfully burned about his neck
and head and also his arm. The hair on
his head was entirely burned off AID he
was otherwise hurt. DR.. Legge render

The following letter from President

basis, the laws for the proper admins
tration of the forest service, the laws
for the admission of Oklahoma and the

tions-all these represent but a portion
of what has been done by Congress,
and form record of substantial legis-
latIve achievement in harmony with the
best and most progressive thought of
our people.
1t is urgently necessary, from the
standpoint of the public interets, to
elect Mr.. Taft, and a Republican Con-
gress which will support him; and they
seek election on a platform which spe-
officially pledges the party, alike in its
executive and leg .slative branches to
continue and develop the policies which
have not merely protest but acted upon
during these seven years. These poll
cies can be successfully carried thru
only by the hearty cooperation Of the
President and the Congress in both it's
branches, and it is therefore peculiarly
important that there should obtain such
harmony between them. To fail to
elect Mr.. Taft would be a calamity to
the country; and it would be folly, while
electing him, yet at the same time to
elect Congress hostile to him, a Con-
gress which under the influence of par
tisan leadership would be certain to
thwart and battle him on every possible
occasion. To select Mr.. Taft. and at
the same time to elect a Congress pledg-
ed to support him, is the only way in
which to perpet ate the policy of the
Government as now carried on feel
that all the aid that can be given to this
policy by every good citizen should be
given; for this is far more than mere
partisan matter
Both your Committee, and the Nation
al Committee, Of which Mr.. Hi .hcock
is Chairman, are endeavoring to secure
the active cooperation on the stump Of
Senators and Congressman. party
leaders and independent citizens gener-
ally most heartily Join in urging Che
Importance Of such cooperation.

A EVANSVILLE DREAMER.
Ignoble Attack on Judge Taft'S Pc

lion Scored by Correspondent.
To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN:
Intoxicated by the wooing of false
muse, Grantsville worshipper at the
throne of Bryan, dreamed that mighty
dream which occupied so much space in
the columns of last weeks issue of the
Mountain Democrat, under the heading
of "A Christian Man"
In that tremendous flight of his i'm
agination the Grantsville correspondent
would fain have borne his darling Bryan
beyond the clouds of earth and had him
prematurely entroned among angels. 1t
was noble effort, but the wings of
fancy failed him, and as ne came crash
ing back to earth, he, as others had done
before him, resorted to the ignoble ex-
p9dient of breaking down the bulwarks
Of individual liberty and rushing madly
irso the sacred precincts of Judge Taft's
inalienable and God-given rights, and
with the black hand of calumny would
throttle the very soul of a fellow-ma
hoping to WIN favor for his Peerless
Champion" by base assault upon his
opponent.
Every sense of right and every prin-
chile Of justice and manhood is arrayed
against the practice of small and I'M
principled tactics in any competition be-
tweenmen, butin the present campaign.
when two great men-noble sons of
America are before the people as the
chosen candidates of the two great pol
itical parties, the pulpit, the press, and
every source of human expression are
lending themselves as tools for the pur-
pose Of creating false and undeserved
sentiment against the Republican can
didate for the presidency on account Of
his religion. 1t would not be proper to
publicly discuss Judge Taft's religious
views, or pc sible, for it is as much as
one man can do to know his own mind
on that sacred subject, but the religion
by which men are now and viii nereaf-
ter be judged, is the religion which they
live rather that which they profess and

Constitution and preserve the integrity
of the Kingdom, and Admiral Amaral
has formed a Cabinet of members of
the various parties in the hopes of re-
storing order to the Kingdom.
Unfortunately, the condition of Por-
tugal is such that no Cabinet, unless
backed by despotic power, can bring
about any real lasting change which
will be for the better. The trouble is
with Portugal as it is with Spain, that
the French Revolution did not sweep
over the country and destroy priestcraft
and the tyranny of the aristocracy.
Probably even this would not rejuven-
ate Portugal, as the Portuguese are
leaving the country in great numbers
to find better homes elsewhere.
Portugal has for more than century
been regarded as virtually dependency
of Great Britain, and the British are
pledged to maintain the reigning fam
lily on the throne. We hear, even now,
of British warships being sent to Lis
bon to help the royal party maintain
itself. This makes a bad outlook for
any genuine peace and progress in the
country.

charge with great asperity, and point
out the folly of such crime and their
having sense enough to know that any
participation in it would react most
strongly against them. 1t looks now
as if it will be found to be the work of
the Red Anarchists. who have chosen
an unpopular monarch for their victim.
The dead King, Carlos L., was born
Sept. %, 1868, and was consequently in
his 45th year. He belonged to the old
house of Braganza, which has held the
throne of Portugal since 1910. He was
a man of gross appetite, and was the
biggest and latest of the European
monarchs. His mother was a daughter
of King Victor Emanuel Of Italy, and
he married daughter Of the Duke of
Orleans, by whom he had two sons.
Luiz Philippi, the Duke of Braganza,
was born March 81, 1887, and was re-
garded as the heir to the throne. He
was killed at the same time his father
was, and the second son, Emanuel, who
was born Nov. Is, 1889, was severely
wounded. He will, it is believed, re-

his fathers successor under the title of
Emanuel II. He has issued proclama-
ton announcing that he will uphold the

The finances are in a wretched con-

taxpayers are declining in number and
in their ability to produce revenue. The
public debt is enormous, the taxes
everywhere are heavy, and there is an

DEATH OF PAST CONMANDER-IN-
CHIEF LAwLER.

There will be a sad vacancy in the
ranks of the Illinois delegation when
it meets in the National Encampment
at Toledo. One who has from the first
been an active and prominent figure in
the Department of Illinois, who could
always be counted upon To take his
place in the line, be in his seat in the
National E,ncampment, and be ready
for any duty that came to him, will
never appear again with the conrad IS
who have known him so well for the
last 40 years. and learned to love him
better with each year that they knew
him. Past Commander-in-Ch Chief Lawler
passed away at his home at Rockford,
ILL.,, Feb. 3, 1908.
Comrade Lawler did not make HIM
self prominent among his comrades by
oratory, by manipulation or spectacular
attempts to get to the front. He was
in the Grand Army as he had been dur
ing the war and as he was in civil life,
an earnest, faithful, tireless worker,
VINO had his heart in the work and
pealed to him to advance it. His square,
solid form, his strong but genial fea-
lures, surmounted with mass of raven
black hair, were always an attractive
feature in Grand Army gatherings, be-
cause he was certain to be where he

all others that he should. He was born
in England and brought to this country
when a child, and as boy enlisted in
the splendid old 10Th Ill.,, the regiment
which Turchin fashioned into such a
wonderful fighting machine, and WIS
led at Stone River by Col Scott, who
fell under its colors. The 18th ILL., was
one of the steady, reliable, fighting reg
iments which helped win for the Four
tenth Corps its imperishable crown OF
glory. Lawler was one of those heroes OF
unbreakable courage who stayed with
Thomas to the last of that terrible Sun
day afternoon at Chiekamauga, and
with two or three companions captured
the Confederate General, Adams. After
the war Comrade Lawler returned to
his home insRockford, engaged in bust
ness, in which he was quite successful,
and took d deep interest in the Grand
Army of the Republic, became a char
ter member and Commander of Rock
ford Post, which position he maintained.
thruout his life. He was Commander
of the Department of Illinois, G.. 4. r.,
in 1882, and elected Commander-in-
Chief at Pittsburg in 1894.
The National tribune., 1908-02-06

The Kaiser is gravely disappointed
that his officers do not know as much
of history as he thinks they should, and
especially of the history of their own
country. This deficiency is rather sur
prising in German officers. 1t is popu-
Iarly believed that English and French
officers rather despise history, and esp--
cially of any other countries than their
own, but the German officers have al
ways been believed to be educated on
a somewhat broader plane than those
of other European countries.

WAR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Album Of the Pictures Taken On the
BattlefieIds by VI. ID. Brady and Alex
ander Gardner.

As is well known, photographers
Brady and Gardner went to the field
during the war under the authority of
the War Department, and made a great
number of negatives of scenes at the
front. A number of these pictures
have been gathered together in a fine
large album by Edward B. Eaton, OF
Hartford, Conn, and are now offered
for sale. The album is one of rare
interest and value, not only to the vet
Grams of the war, but TO every citizen OF
this country who desires to know some
thing of the history of the greatest and
bloodieSt war that the world ever saw.
The album is gotten up very art1stlcal-
", and the pictures are printed on
heavy plated paper, with all their de-
tails brought out skilfully. The pic
lures have value and interest that no
other representations of the struggle
can have. They show things exactly as
they were, and they bring back to the
memory of the veteran swarm of the
of his young and heroic
days. To those who We're not in the war
they are of rare value in showing just
exactly how the young soldiers looked
in camp, in forts and on the march.

places where they operated. All classes
of soldiers are represented. Major and
