Last Wednesday evening an Italian died suddenly in the Gold Road mine, on the 7th level, and coroner's jury found that death was due to light shock of electricity and a weak heart. The fact of the matter is that the man was walking along the level and step ped into pool of water, the ground being lower than the drift level, and as he dld so he gave a cry and dropped dead. The other men with him felt no shock when they were removing the body, which would indicate that the water of the pool was not charged. An autopsy showed weakened heart, but no evidence of death having re- suited from shock The wires throughout the mine are thoroughly insulated, but as the mine is wet there is some leakage. From what we can learn it does not appear possible that death was the result of contact with any of the high tension wires along enough leakage at that point to have caused death. which would lead to the conclusion that the man died from heart failure.
 Judge Perkins this week appointed a receiver for the Ranche rs Trus, com- pany, J. F. Matthews. of Holbrook, receiving the commission. Two suits have been filed in this county against the corporation and the officers of the concern have been enj joined from ne- gotlating the notes given in payment for shares in the company. It is un- derstood that in the event that the d fairs of the company are wound up by the receiver many people who paid cash for stock will receive but a small part of their money back. On all shares sold the agents received twen- ty-fve per cent of the whole, or about 37.50$ per share.
 It is probable that the specifications for the county court house will be ready to submit to the board of super visors within the next ten days and the board will at once ask for bids for the construction of the building. That there will be many bids offered is a certainty and we hope to see this i'm. portant structure under way within the next two months. The building IS one of the crying necessities of the county and it's early erection will be welcome by all the people.

For Children there is Nothing Better

A cough medicine for children must help their coughs and colds without bad effects on their little stomach and bowels. Foley's Honey and Tar ex- actly fills this need. No opiates, no sour stomach, no constipation follows it's use. Stutfy colds, wheezy breath. ing, coughs and croup are all quickly helped and sweet refreshing slum Der instead of feverish tossing at night. It is easy therefore to understand why an increasing number of bottles of Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is sold yearly. H. H. Watkins, Drug yist.

LAUREER TALKS
 TARIFF IN CANADA
New United States Schedule Forces the Issue = Meat
 Famine Impends.

Ottawa, Ont, Oct Sir Wi1frid Laurier. in opening the Par1iamen- tary bye election campaign in Cha teaugay county, Quebec, where a member of Parliament will be elected next Saturday, has surprised his op- ponents and many of his supporters by revtving the reciprocity and tariff issues. His speech is generally re- ported, even by the Conservative newspapers, as having been enthusi- astical1y received. The bye election contest in Chateaugay will be fought as a test case against the Borden Gov ernment, with the Hon. Sydney Fish CT, who was for fifteen years Laurier's Minister of Agriculture, as the Lib era1 candidate.
 Sir Wilfrid and his principal ad- visers, including all his old Ministers, assert that the new United States tariff will have the effect of making the tariff the prime issue in Canadian politics. From the West despatches are pouring into Ottawa saying that the organized grain growers regard less of party will demand that the Government abrogate the wheat and flour duties so as to give those com m odities free entry to the States by the removal of the countervailing g duties.
 In all Eastern Canadian cities DutcherS are nocIIy1nS Tnelr custom CTS that prices will be advanced next week. In the public markets of East ern Canadian cities native (domestic) meats have almost disappeared on ac- count of the fact that almost every thing on four legs and with a few pounds of flesh on it has been brought up for export to the Buffalo, New York and Boston market.
 Several old time Conservative news papers are already indicating that they will support the new lower tariff campaign. Foremost among those are the Ottawa Citizen and Toronto World

No Trace of Her for Week, Though
 Long Island Police Hunt

Patchogue, L. T.. Oct. When William Barber of so West avenue, this village, heard that his daughter Elise had been out motoring with some friends of whom he did not ap- prove, he placed Elise across his knees and spanked her with strap. His daughter is IT years old, and this was the first time that she had experi- enced this old-fashioned form of re- buke As soon as she had meditated upon it for a while she left home, and has not been seen near there since.
 This was a week ago and the gen eraI alarm circulated by the police the length of Long Island has as yet brought no trace of her. The only one who has come forward to tell of having seen her in the interval is Louis Westcamp, a neighbor, who says that on Tuesday of last week he saw her sitting on rock on the shore of West Lake, a mile from her home. One possibility was furnished yester- day by a girl chun1, who insisted that Elise was stage struck, and that on one occasion she had suggested run ming away to go on the stage.

 Joseph Eugene Ransdel1, the new United States Senator from Louisiana, was born in Alexandria, La., fifty-two years ago today. He was a lawyer and cotton planter before his native State sent him to Congress fourteen years ago. He has remained in Wash ingtOn ever since, and last March was elevated to the Senate. Besides be- ing the eloquent defender of the sugar growers, Senator Ransde1I has long been noted a leader in the water ways improvement movement. Indeed, sugar and water are his principal con- cerns. He was elected president of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress in 1906, and has continued to hold the office ever since. Senator RansdelI be- 1ieves that it will some day be pos sible to travel by canals and inland waterways from Nova Scotia to Key West.
