Orwell Foster Hurt.

Orwell Foster of this city who
is employed as a shoveler at the
Columbus mine in Galena, re-
-ceived q sprained ankle and many
cuts and bruises at g o'clock Mon.
day. He was standing near the
face of the drift when more than
two tons of dirt fell from the side
and roof. He was almost buried
beneath the debris, but escaped
with only comparatively slight
injuries. Another shoveler, who
was standing near him, was
struck by part of the falling dirt
but was unhurt. Foster was ia.
ken to Or. G. n. Jones' office and
attended. He will recover from
his injuries soon, it is believed.

judgment Affirmed.

In affirming a judgment for
$4,000 against the Big Jack
Mining Company of Lincolnville,
Okla, for damages, on account Of
the death of a miner in the COM
pAuy's lead and zinc mine, caused
BY 4 fall of a rock from the roof
Of a drift, the Oklahoma supreme
court decided that the statutes of
that state, which make it the du-
ty of the operator of any coal /or
'other" mine to provide a mine
foreman, and which require the
foreman or his assistant to make
daily inspections of places where
miners are required to 60, to dir
ect roofs to be properly timbered,
and to prevent men from working
in unsafe places, except for the
purpose of making them safe, ap-
ply to lead and zinc mines, as
we'll as to coal mines.
It was further decided in this
case that, where a miner is killed
in Oklahoma through negligence
attributable to his employer and
he leaves no estate to be admin
istered, suit for his death is pro-
perly brought by his widow for
the benefit of herself and his sur
viving minor children; and that
the damages to be recoverable are
measurable by the actual pecun-
iary loss resulting to the family
on account of the loss of their
protection and support by dece-
dent, considered with capacity
and the use to which he had de-
voted his earnings.

The ballot to be used this
spring is a new kind. 1t is the
Massachusetts, form of ballot, and
does away with the old straight
ticket idea. It Is necessary on
the new form of ballot to mark
each candidate. And this is one
more move toward breaking up
party politices. With the old
ballot it was a very easy mattel
to vote q straight party ticket,
merely by making = cross in. the
circle under the party name.
Nowadays there Is none of that.
You must make 4 mark for each
candidate you wish to vote for.
And in the old way, there were
plenty of sample ballots scat
tered around Bat under the new
law there is no such thing a. =
sample ballot. The new Law
simpli6es matters very much.
If you can read. yOu will not
have any trouble in voting. If
you can not read, the judges viii
make out gOur ballot tOg yOu.
