Tragic Death Of Miner

Twin Bridges. May 27.-Word has
reached here of the tragic death of
Reinhart Reuter-, a miner. who with
his brother was working a property in
Georgia gulch. A slide of ground
caught Reuter-, burying him up to the
waist. He was badly crushed. his
back, one arm and one leg being brok-
en-.
Sam Hustead who went to the mine
Sunday said that Reuter- was suffering
intensely when released from the
slide, and begged his brother to shoot
him. His brother left him as COM
Portable as possible and went to the
Little Goldie mine farther up the
gulch for assistance. When near the
scene of the accident with Joe Osten-
ric and others a shot was heard.
When they reached the mouth of the
tunnel they found Reuter- dead. He
had crawled several hundred feet, Sc
cured a part stick of giant and a cap
and blew his head Off.

Commercial Club Notes

For the first time in a long period
the fi%re-fighting apparatus of the city
was taken out this week; the hose
of which there is $50 feet-was un-
wound and subjected to water pres
sure, SO that any defects therein
might be revealed. Afterwards a
short meeting vas held, presided over
by Mr.. G. O. Vowel, at which future
plans we're discussed. A committee
was also appointed to interview the
city council at their next meeting and
recommend the purchase of certain
small additions to the fire apparatus
that We're deemed necessary.
We are glad to see this matter hav-
ing the attention it deserves; it goes
to prove that our citizens are alive
to the vast Importance OF having a
fire department equipped and named
in such a manner as to render eff
cient service of such service should
be required.
1t should be understood that the fire
department is a purely volunteer or
| ganization. That being so. every able
bodied man is invited and expected
to take IN active interest in the work.
We hope, therefore, to see a large
turnout of recruits at the next meet
ing of the department. the date of
which will be duly announced.
With further reference to this nat
ter the Commercial Club has been ad.
| vised that the board of Fire Under
| writer's for this district will have an
inspector here within 60 days, at
| which time the question of fire in
I surance rates will be gone into. We
believe these rates are in many in
stances too high and in order to
strengthen our argument for a reduc-
ton, it is very essential we should
have a we'll equipped and we'll organ
lied fire department. Apart, however.
from that consideration, it is some
thing that we must have anyway.
A petition, recommending the es-
adjustment of the star quite mail de-
livery service from this city to Goose
Bill and to Marias, has been prepared
and forwarded to the postmaster gen.
eral. The establishment of this route
would be a great boon to the people
and would supply a long felt want.

bank the Jurisdiction of which would
be the entire territory northeast of
the Potomac river, which would not
only include New York and New Jer-

OF course, they would permit minor

Hon. John D. Long to Boys.

If Maine boys want advice from the
observation of one of New Englands S
greatest thinkers. here it is 1t is from
Hon. John d. Long, a native of Maine
but for many years of national fame
He wrote it for Temperance Cause:
Bows. I know that it is not much
use to preach to you, and that, even
if an impression is made on you, II
runs the risk of being effaced as soon
as you come into exposure to temp
tation. But if you could only have IN
these bright, hopeful confident days
of yours, the experience of years, you
would abstain from intoxicating hq-
uors. not only as a matter of prln-
ciple. but as a matter of hard common
sense and of your personal happiness,
health, success, and posterity.
There is no denying that intoxicat-
ing LIQUORS are INDUCED in by many
respectable people, or that they are
associated, in some literature ana IN
some society, with good fellowship anu
merry times, or that some persons can
use them moderately without fmmedi-
ate apparent injury. But take my word
ford it, that the risk of their use is a
terrible risk, that there can be just as
good times and just as good fellowship
without them; and that nobody thinks
a bit the less of young fellow be-
cause he will not use them, but on the
contrary that every business man or
professional man, whatever his own
habits, instinctively turns away from
employing any young man who has the
taint of liquor about him.
Every physician now condemns the
use OF alcohol as a drink. Every en-
ployer counts the use of it against an
employees. If you want a clear head,
if you want a sound heart; if you want
a clean conscience; If you want
healthy body; If you want money in
your pocket and credit to your name,
put your foot right down and say that
you are going to abstain from the use
of Intoxicating liquors, and keep the
faith. Is there anything nastier than
a man under their influence? Be clean
and wholesome. Keep your brain clear,
your head steady, your self-respect
firm. and you will have a life that is
worth living. This is not a matter of
goody talk and sentiment. If nothing
else will convince you experience will,
but it will be that experience which
can only come too late to be of any
use. You may think that you have
selfcontrol enough to take care of
yourself But the chances are that
your self control will be no more than
pasteboard against a Gatling gun II
you tamper with temptation and once
begin the indulgence.

says:
Il like your kind of Feminism which

Oreaon's Liquor Problem.

If Gov. West of Oregon isn't careful
he will be as unpopular with the booze
element as our own chief executive.
Of course, you are aware that under
local option or high license the saloon
keepers are models of propriety. Some
such models in Oregon refused to obey
the state law and Gov. West sent Miss
Fern Hobbs, his private secretary, to
call these models to account. When
they refused to listen to the lady she
called out the militia and started pro-
ceedings to remove the sheriff. In the
meantime the mayor is in Jail and the
town is under martial law. o, yes,
there is the same howl from the same
element in Oregon as you hear in

Calamity Howiers.
lFairfeld Journal.l

We understand that anyone who
breatnes word of the present quiet
ness of business is calamity howler.
We further understand that anyone
VINO suggests that worse conditions are
impending is not fit for the society
of honest men.
When any questionable transaction
is shown by keen sighted writer to
be just what it is and investigation
thereby is invited. the rascal thrown
into the light of public examination
crys "Muckraker." Yet so-called
"muckrakers' have done much to bet
ter conditions in the United States
more than we car ever estimate fairly
In brief, anyone who is in the wrong
is prone to whine out a grievance;
thus men of honest hearts, laboring
for the betterment of government and
society, are, often named "Muckrakers
and men of far vision peering into the
future to where they descry untortu-
nate conditions in our industrial ana
commercial life are named calamity
howlers.
