Official Paper of Lincoln County
INJUSTICE TO PRINTERS.

1t would seem that our government
is big enough and rich enough to let
well enough alone, says an exchange.
With multitudinous functions proper
ly belonging to national activity to
keep all departments busy, it hardly
seems right that Uncle Sam should
become job printer to the extent of
going out into the highways and by
ways to solicit business widely sep
arated and insignificant In the ag-
gregate.
The average country publisher has
a strenuous time in making both ends
meet, even when all advantages are
on his side, but If he must come
in competition with the government o
which he is part and parcel and to
which he gives loyal support, in the
matter Of envelope printing, then
there is certainly ground for discour-
agement If not disgust.
There is an old saying that Uncle
Sam is rich enough to buy us all
a farm" This being so he doesn't
need, nor should he seek, profit from
printing by becoming job printer for
the whole country. Let senators and
congressman who are near to the
press, or where when elected,
and will want to be again If another
term is sought. get busy in suppress
ing an innovation that should never
have been begun, much less contin-
ued when a protest is going up from
newspaper publishers from the At
lantic to the Pacific. The newspaper
man doesn't claim much as his own,
but where he has job office at
tachment this matter of envelope
printing is his by right of occup-
ancy of the field where 1t originates,
and he. should be left undisturbed to
prosecute local business without com
ing In competition with national &C
tivity and greed.

The mint has announced that the
doors of the house are again open for
the reception OF gold from the south
ern mines. The news of the refusal
OF the former shipments acted as a
boomerang to the branch mint which
found that the shipments fell off
to such an extent that there was
nothing TO keep the few employees en-
gagged. Shippers took alarm and with
out waiting for any statement began
sending their bullion to San Francisc
for treatment. Governor Colcord the
assayer in charge wrote to Mr..

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
GIRL.

Every new club house is just anoth
or advertisement that marriage is a
failure.
A man never kisses a pretty girl
unless he is tempted to, fiancee I'M
less he wants to, and wife unless he
has to.
A "high-browed" woman has about
the same peculiar fascination for the
average man as the strong-armed lady
IN the side show.
mans establishment when a girl
accepts him is not so much at the
fact that she took him as at the fact
hat he gave her the chance.
One reason why women dress so
extravagantly is probably because it
takes such an expensive frock to get
cheap compliment out of hus-
band.
Success with the opposite sex de-
ponds entirely on how cleverly wom-
an can pretend to be Indifferent to the
men with whom she is in love- and
now skillfully a man can pretend to
be in love with the women to whom
he is mathematician Rowland, in

 more pleasing act on the circuit than
 that playing with us this week, those pleased the PoH patrons greatly all this week, and have indeed made great hit. Every performance something new is pulled off, to please the public.

 DR. kLINE'S AUTO

Greenwich, Oct. 29-.I'm going to touch that automobile, anyway said Joseph Cotrone of East Portchester, a boy of 10 years, yesterday, darting from a group of boys waiting on the Boston post road to steal rides on automobiles, and running toward the machine of Dr. A. w. Kline, Health Officer of Greenwich. Dr. Kline steered his au- tomobile into the gutter to save the boy from being. struck, but the child, misjudging his distance, fell and went under the front wheels.
 Dr. Kline put on the brakes and stopped the automobile before the hind wheels went over the boy. He picked up the lad and took him in his auto mobile to the hospital. It was found that rib and the collar bone were broken and lung was punctured. Be- fore an operation could be performed the boy died pr. Kline was exoner- ated from all blame by the Coroner and witnesses.

 Darren Wales, Oct. 29.-Twenty-two miners are entombed in the wrecked shaft of the Rhymney Iron Company's mine here following an explosion that occurred when forty-eight of the n1in- ing crew were; just entering the shaft.

.srHE OLD HOMESTEAD"

. .
 For nearly quarter of Ia century Denman Tompson's "The Old Home stead'' has been seen in the various cities throughout the country and the desire to witness it does not seem to show any abatement. It may we'll be called problem play, the problem be- ing how to account for the really phe- noInenal success which it has enjoyed through all the theatrical seasons that have intervened since MT. Thompson first presented it to the public at the Boston Theatre in the spring of 1886. In speaking of the success of his play, recently MT. Thompson said he had never ddubted what the ultimate re- suit would be if only he could succeed in convincing the theatre-going public that he was presenting on the mimic stage real live people and not the ven- erable pictures which our fathers knew in the days of John Owens "So- Ion Shingle" with his fsbAr'l of ap- pie sass.' And when people began to in boyhood days tbeY had known char Sacters like Uncle Jehn, Cy Prime, Seth Perkins, Aunt Matilda and the rest they were not slow to come to the conclusion that at last the real Yankee farmer had been transplanted from the New England farm to the stage 1'The Old Homestead'' became a success from the start and the reason it is so successful in this it's twenty fourth season is due to great extent to the fact that the same attention is paid to detail as at the beginning. It comes to Jackson's theatre next. Tues day with a special bargain election day matinee. Seats are now selling.

Police Had Burglar
 But Let Him Escape

Waterbury, Oct. 29.-The retail store of the Apothecaries Hall company was the scene of a daring and successful burglary early yesterday morning. A sum of money and several boxes of good cigars and quantity of perfume were taken.
 A peculiar fact about the affair is that the burglar was in the hands of the Naugatuck police, but because the Waterbury police did not know the burglary was committed, the man was allowed to escape.
 The theory held by the company is that the man hid in the building some where until after the store was closed.
