The establishment of three Cow
eminent life,saving stations in the
mining regions is a practical step
toward the reduction Of the present
appalling death rate among miners,
particularly in coal mines. Each
of these stations will have a crew
of men skilled in the use of the OK
ygen helmet, the resusitating cab
met and other devices for the res
cue and treatment of tntombed
miners. Other stations will be es-
tablished rs soon as possible, and
before long, it is hoped, there will
be one in every considerable min
ing center.
As soon as the news Of an acct
dent is received the crew of the
nearest station will proceed to the
scene at top speed and take charge
of the work of rescue. At the av-
erage mine no appropriate appli-
ances for getting out entombed
men are at hand, and they would
be useless if they were, for men
skilled in their use are not plenti-
full. The Governments experts,
however, know how to employ
them to the best effect. No doubt
the next great accident that occurs
will afford striking proofs of the
usefulness of the new service.
Meanwhile the installation of
safety devices in all mines should
be required by stringent legislation.
According to John Mitchell, ex-
president of the mine-workers,
plain neglect is responsible for more
| than half of the fatal accidents in
American mines, With about 2,
800 lives lost every yea. this means
that criminal averice causes more
than four deaths day.
The trade IS a miner, of course,
IS essentially a,hazardous one, and
no forethought, however wise, will
do away entirely with accidents.
But the horrible slaughters which
now and then shock the public are
too often avo,dable. They have
their origin ii reckless engineering,
in unreliable machinery and INSULT
cient ventilation. Fully hundred
of the men WHO persisted at Cherry
Illinois, it is Believed might have
been saved if the possibility of the
accident which killed them had
been taken into account and plans
had been made in advance to meet
its consequences. Sun.

BLOWING Up the Locks.

Would it be easy to blow up and de-
stroy a lock canal by the malicious Use
Of dynamite or other high explosive!
The question has been debated much
in connection with the Panama canal.
The Engineering News calls attention
to the fact that an attempt made In
1900 to wreck the Welland canal in
this way produced surprisingly small
results. After two weeks examination
the two men concerned selected lock
"a, and each lowered satchel con-
tanning dynamite and fuss to the
water behind the gate at each end of
the lock. Both charges were exploded,
but the dynamite failed to carry away
the gates. Although the explosives
blew a hole about q foot in diameter
through each gate and loosened the
hinges, the gates remained in position,
holding back the water.

A CONGRESSIONAL RUMOR

The report that Mr. Aubrey Z.
Strobe. of Amherst, may announce
himself as candidate for Congress
in this district against Hon. II. D.,
Flood will be received with general
regret in this section. The friends
of Mr.. Flood are entirely confident
that he will in any event be over
whelmingly renominated; and it is
certainly to be desired that so able
and so efficient a representative OF
the people should be returned with
out opposition.
Mr.. Flood has a stronger hold on
the Tenth District today than he
has had at any time in his entire
career; and Mr.. Strobe will be wise
to consider the situation with great
care before he undertakes to an
nounce his candidacy Lexington

We clip the above editorial as it
expresses the opinion Of the High
land Democrats.
Thoughtfully, there is no reason
why the people of the Tenth Dis
trict should want a change of rfp-
resentatives. Mr.. Flood has mace
us good representative, in fact,
the best. 1t would seem very UNI
wise to nominate a new man when
we have one who has given such
excellent service. We have heard
no complaints. The people of High
land always find him prompt in all

of Mr.. Flood that Highland enjoys

he has ably represented his people,
and they will not lose sight of it
when they come to nominating a
candidate.

Max Saures, farmer residing

physician today following battle
with pet buck deer which was
kept in a paddock on the Patter-
son place near Centerville.
The animal, supposed to be
tame, charged at Saures as soon
as he entered the paddock. For a
while the man succeeded in STAY
ing off the attack of the Infatuated
buck, then the deer succeeded in
ripping open the mans cheek with
one of his sharp prongs.
Dazed, Saures fell to the ground
where he lay while the buck
trampled on his body and tore him
with his horns. Saures was I'M
conscious when laborers ON the
Patterson place rescued him.
