Onr Congress Candidate,
The more the Congress situation
favorably and creditably does the
the right man to represent this people |
in the next Congress, A prominent |
labor leader who was sent to investi-
business operations, said to the writer.
Quay organs that Mr. Hall was a big
coal operator, And did nothing else,
whereas, the fact is that the coal busi-
ness is only a side issue with him. For
example: Hall & Kaul employ nearly
3,000 men all told and less than eight
hundred of this grand industrial army
of the Republicare employed in the
mines. And right here it is not amiss
to say with emphasis that the .niners
of Elk county, employed by Hall &
Kaul,-have been working six days a
week or full time for the past four years
and no more contented set of working
men exist in Pennsylvania than are
they. Nostrikesand no reason for
strikes, and further it can be ssid to
the credit of Hall & Kaul that no man
employed by them has ever been al
lowed ‘‘to go into the township’ asa
public charge. On the contrary, the
deserving poor have been treated at all
times with the greatest kindness and
most thoughtful consideration. And
again, when these deserving poor pass-
ed away, they have always been buried
respectfully and tenderly without dem-
onstration, without seeking credit and
at the expense of James K. P. Hall
and his partner. We can assure the
common people of Clearfield, there
fore, that with a man whose record is
like that of Mr. Hall's the rights of
the people are certain to be safe. Elect
him to Congress and there will never
appear the shadow of a reason to re
gret the confidence reposed in Jim"
Hall.—~Clearfied Public Spirit.
5 Barn Burned,
The barn on the Bacher farm, about.
one mile from Loganton, in Bugar vals
ley, Clinton county, was totally de-
stroyed by fire about daylight Thurs.
day morning. The barn was one of
the largest iu the valley and contained
all of this year’s crops grown on the
farm. John Feidler is the tenant.
The loss is a heavy one, as all the con-
tents of the barn were burned.

DEATH BY 1 THE BORO WATER PLANT
Void amme
Wes. Henney Falls into the Reservoir and
Dies from Injuries.
J. Wesley Henney died last Satur-
day evening at his home on Church
street, from the effects of injuries re-
ceived by a fall into the lower reser-
voir of the new boro water plant on
the Thursday evening previous.
The death of Wes. was an extremely
sad one and greatly startled the town,
and only adds to the already bitter
feeling that now exists in the town.
With several others on last Thursday
afternoon Wes was assisting in plac-
ing or changing some pipes in or about
the reservoir. He was recently elect-
ed water superintendent by the c¢oun-
¢il. In working about the reservoir!
Wes made a misstep and went over
the side of the reservoir down seven
feet to the hard cement bottom. He
struck on his right side, but it was not
supposed that his injuries were other
than those of the severe shake-up. He
was taken to his home in a buggy, and
Dr, Jacobs summoned. The physician
found no bones broken, but there was
evidence of severe internal injuries.
Instead of improvements Wes’ condi-
tion grew worse instead. His suffer.
ings were intense until about six
o'clock Baturday evening when he ex-
pired. No post mortem examination
was held, but it is supposed that the
liver or other internal orgavs were rup-
tured by the fall and it
that he lingered so many
ony.
Wes was aged about forty-five years,
He was one of the finest mechanics in
this section. When a neat and deli-|
cafe piece of work was necessary
metals there was but one man who
could be trusted in the work and Wes
was the one sought for.

A Terrible Penalty,
A dishonorable discharge from the
army is the most terrible penalty im-
aginable, says an exchange. The sol-
dier forfeits his citizenship—becomes a
man without a country-—can never re-
enter the army, has uo chance to wipe
out his disgrace, and has an . ineffaces-
ble blot placed on his name. Nothing
short of an act of congress can remove
the disabilities that are carried with a

Turned in the Water,
Monday contractor Malone finished
his work on the large reservoir, and
the water was turned in the same
evening. The work,which is exten-
sive and been in operation for four
months is apparently well done, and
the reservoir will likely hold water
with very little leakage. It is of about
ten thousand barrels capacity, sufli-
cient to supply all those not connected
with the company mains, with about
five days storage. The reservoir Is
square, and on the sides
with rough mountain
clay. The bottom is covered with
