Miners Nail a Victim to a Cross

At Avella, Pa, last week, the bar
barity of biblical times and the tales
of cruelty of the middle ages were
eclipsed, when George Rabish, a
mine official of the Pittsburg and
Washington Coal company, WAS
dragged from his bed in that small
mining town and literally crucified.
The body was bleeding from many
wounds when taken from the cross
in a dying condition, by detail of
police from Washington, Pa. Death
ensued a short time after the victim
was taken to the hospital.
His assailants il seems was score
or more of foreign mine operatives,
who had been incensed to despera-
tion by a report that RabiSh had
played spy upon them and been the
cause of discharge of some of their
companions. Their indignation cul-
minated in a visit to his home, drag
ging him from bed, into the street,
where he was numerically beaten.
Leaders of the mob, under the excite
ment of anger and liquor, then de-
cided they would cruelty him. and
the proposition met with ready ac-
quieScence. A crown of thOrns was
procured. and having been placed
upon his head it was pushed down
with enough force to drive the prick
les into his head until the blood
coursed down his face and nude body.
A large timber was placed in the
ground with a cross-beam at the
top and ropes were procured and he
was hauled alOft, when huge spikes
were driven through the palms of
his hands and into the cross, while
the mob sang and danced around the
body for more than a couple of hours
while the life-bloOd slowly oozed from
the victims hands. feet and boGy in
which long slashes were made by
knives. Death came to the victim
soon after taken to the hospital.
The Sheriff summoned a posse OF
citizens and made a roundup of the
perpetrators of the fearful deed. In
the pitched battle that ensued twenty
Of the foreigners were arrested and
held to appear for the atrociOus muir

Modified Football.

The serious casualties, sometimes
resulting in fatalities, that have oc-
casionaly attended the playing of
football, has led to So serious pro-
test against the game. that desire
to modify some of its rules has
generally engaged the attention of
its friends and advocates. Prom
inently among them is the spring
coaching-staff of the University of
Missouri. Its new game, which
eliminates the mass play and flying
tackle, and will be used the remainder
of the season. is thus described: The
staff considered combination ball
but gave it up because it has no run
ming plays. The game is like regular
football with but two changes, slight
in themselves, but far-reaching in
effect. The first change removes all
restrictions from the pass and kick.
BY the second change, the ball in the
hands of runner becomes dead when
the runner is touched by an opponent.
This change disposes of the mass play
and the flying tackle. 1t makes i'm
possible rush into close line, and at
the same time makes the flying tackle
unnecessary. Yet it will retain the
running game and will encourage the
brilliant lodging, wide-end runs. and
also necessitate formations and inter-
ference. The game was evolved for
practice only, but its value as game
itself, became evident to the staff as
they considered it's possibilities.

THE suit instituted by Pomona
Grange of this county, to restrain the
County Commissioners from placing
the county in a higher grade for the
purpose of increasing their own and
other salaries, has failed to accom-
plish its object, and the grab is legal
lied by court ruling, no matter how
it looks to the people who. like the
man up a tree" it is alleged, is
able to see things with q clearer
vision than mere plodders on earth.
Had they made the revision of sala-
ries upward to have applied to their
successor in Office it would not have
appeared quite so rae. or had change
of population reduced the county's
grade, the query arises, would such
haste have been considered -impera-
tiva to reduce salaries before the end

Choosing Ones Work.

This matter of choosing ones life
work is one of the severest tasks a
person has to meet Many men do
not find their spheres of greatest use,
fulness until middle age, while others
never find them. Education ought
to help one to find his true sphere.
The great difficulty with SO many
young people is they show an adapta-
bility to too many things; they be-
come what their fellows, or instruc-
tors call versatile. The versatile man
sometimes is the worst handicapped
man. He can do dozen things fairly
we'll and he spends his time between
them, scattering his fire, instead of
concentrating on one object a single
purpose and learning to do that in
the aggregate better than he could do
each Of the eleven The man who,
with bent for music, can play half
dozen Instruments, is not nearly so
likely to play as we'll as the man who
becomes expert in the use of but one,
The versatile man Is seldom more
than an amateur, being kept out of
the professional class simply because
he has never learned to concentrate
his full powers on one thing. Young
men and women must look out for
these pitfalls The only talent that
ever accomplishes anything worth
while is that trained along certain
definite. fixed line, Omaha Bee.

near shore. Without the slightest
hesitation, although she could swim

surface Miss Jennison made a futile
effort to drag her toward shore and
moment later the two went down
