We are not a candidate for post
office appointment, nor are any of our
readers that we know of. But this pa
per wants to go on record as being OPP
posed to civil service law that Will
include all postmasters. collectors Of
customs and revenue officers and all
other federal officers. 1t would create
an officeholding class; It could not do
otherwise and in a generation or two
it would be intolerable in a republic
like the United. States. It would create
q spirit in many that would render
them overbearing. Then If common
citizen should knock a postmaster OF
carrier out Of his way the common
citizen could be punished for assault
ing government official. This may be
far-fetched. but we are 'agin 1t any

Killed By the Cars.

David Lookingbill, young maR about
thirty years old, met with fearful death
last Friday evening about O'Clock al
Hagerstown. He attempted to jump
aboard fast freight train No. 50 OF the Nor
folk & Western Railway at South Junction,
just this side of Hagerstown, when he
missed the step and fell under the wheels.
His right leg was crushed off at the hip
and his left leg below the knee, and when
he was found short time afterward by
Officers Golden and Massie he was lying
in pool CT blood alongside the track.
A flask OF liquor was found in his pocket,
and it was apparent that he had been
drinking. He was placed on stretcher
and taken TO The station, and from there
hurried to hospital He was beyond
human aid, however, and at 735 O'Clock
he died. Lookingbill was son Of John
Lookingbill, and lived for several years in
the vicinity Of Shepherdstown. He MIR
ried Miss Emma Taylor, of this place,
but they separated short time ago. He
had recently lived in Hagerstown, where
he worked as carpenter. It's thought
that he was on his way to ShepherdStown
when he met his death. The body was
brought here for burial and was inferred
in Elmwood Cemetery on Sunday.

Yesterday afternoon at AIS James

spectively. son and daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. J. b. Merge. residing on
North Main street, we're playing on a
club house boat which il anchored at
the foot OF Third street, and owned
by Hoffman Bros. The children were
throwing sticks into the river. and
the girl fell in. and the boy also fell
In as a result OF having tried to
save his sister.
Some young men employed at the
North Wheeling glass factory. who
were standing on the bank. came TO
the rescue OF the children and got
them safely to shore. At this point
the water Is very swift. owing 20 the
big rifle just above. and had II not
been for the young men being so near.
II Is probable that the chil6Sen
would have both been drowned.
