L. D. WOODRUFF, Editor and Publisher. FRIDAY, JULY 18, 1889. ROGER Q. MILLS, of Texas, aspires to be Governor of that great State. Chauhoby Dki'Ew takes no stock in the new fangled theory that marriage is a failure. To a newly-wedded friend he writes: To be engaged to the woman you love is happiness; to marry her is heaven." THE collections of internal revenue during the first eleven months of the fis cal year ending June 30, 1889, were y130,- 088,908, being $5,934,308 more than the collections during the corresponding period of the last fiscal year. WHY NUT ? That's the question of the hour, with reference to an immediate distribution of funds now on deposit in banks that weie raised for the relief of our suffering peo ple. One dollar would be of more use now than five in three months from this time. This opinion is shared in by all persons wc have spoken to. Four geutle men from dilfereut parts of the Btate representative men who paid our office the honor of a visit yesterday, were emphatic in their condemnation of the policy of keeping the money another day from those for whom it was contributed ; and said Governor Beaver ought to attend to it at once. The four persons were officers of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania I. O. O. F., namely, Messrs. Muckle, Hall, Moore and Freeman. MB. GLADSTONE, now in his eightieth year, is a maryelous man in his physical and mental preservation. He is a splen did illustration of the fact that great and prolonged mental nctivity is not incon sistent with a high degree of bodily vigor. Again oil Ileck. ureensburg Argus. "We congratulate our unfortunate friend, L. D. Woodruff, Esq., of Johns town, upon the re appearance of his val ued newspaper, the DEMOCRAT. Its first issue since the flood came to the surface, as it were, on Friday last. Of the plucky editor's trials and hnidsliips his paper speaks in tones of touching pathos and sadness, though untiuged with a single in dication of despair or despondency. SPEAKING of the rumored castor oil tnt. the romance about a *000,000,000 coal trust, the announcement of the forma tion of an ice trust, and the storj' about a $25,000,000 plug tobacco tru9t—all of which have come to the front within a week—the New York Pre** sensibly ad vises that " whenever you see a trust head, hit it! " The trust business is get ting monotonous, and one of these tine mornings the people will rise in their might and effectually squelch them, as they ought to. To tlie Front Aan in. Somerset Democrat. We gladly welcome the JOHNSTOWN DEMOCRAT, which after a month's suspen sion forced upoh it by the deluge of May 31, has come to the front again and will hereafter be regularly published. The first Dumber issued siuce the flood was the WEEKI.Y DEMOCRAT of July 5 and it contains many sad but interesting ac counts of that black Friday, when the city of Johnstown, the pride of the Cone maugh valley, was almost wiped out. Mr. Woodruff, the publisher and editor, deserves the earnest and hearty support of the public, as he was one of the heaviest losers by the flood. The publication of the DAILY DEMOCRAT was also resumed on Monday. Mncn is said from time to time about the fast rate at which Americans live. Pessimists are never weary of quoting sta tistics to prove that the English race in America is coming to a speedy and igno ble end. But figures, as compiled by medical societies and insurance compan ies leave room for encouragement to the people of the United States. The aver age length of life in Russia is 28 years, in France 455, in Euglaud 50, and in the United States 55. Or, at least, these are the figures quoted before a late meeting of the State Medical Society of Georgia. Surmounted All Olmtiicleit. somerset Herald. The Johnstown DEMOCRAT found its way to Somerset Mouday morning, Its first appearance since the flood. The DEMOCRAT office muuaged to escape total destruction, hut it was badly wrecked, and brother Woodruff has had a hard time getting on his feet Again. Nothing in the world is as easily disarranged as a printing office, and nothing as hard to get into its normal condition. The DEMOCRAT has surmounted all obstacles, and is again to the front, as bright and as newsy as of yore. Dr. Endsley, of Somerset, is assisting Mr. Woodruff in editing his paper. FATALITY AMONG PROMINENT CITI ZENS. After all is summed up and balances struck, it will be found that all loses in other directions are mere atoms in com parison with the destruction of human life. The town as it now is contrasts sadly enough with what it once was in every respect; but in no other particular is the contrast so sad, so mournful, so over whelmingly touching as it is in reference to men, women and children. Strangers coming here see on every hand ocular demonstrations of material losses, in the destruction of property. In viewing our waste places, our barren streets, and acres covered with wrecked matter they need no one to tell them of the losses of buildings—of the millions thus represented that have been swept away. And impressed with what they see, but little, if any, thought is given to the thousands that were buried in the ruins or swept down in the angry water, of the vast number whose lives went out with the Hood. And even those who survive, do not yet realize the irreparable loss the town has sustained by the drowning of some of its noblest citizens. The fact is the ex citement, the worry, the anxiety, the work of living, of keeping alive after such peril ous adventures in and escapes out, of the flood, have left but little time or opportu nity for thinking about the dead. Many of them who were carried or hauled in a wagon to the cemetery,and ac companied by only two or three friends hastily deposited in the grave, would have had large funerals had they died un der ordinary circumstances. The tinding of each mutilated body and its burial, were dismissed from the "public mind with a simple remark, " well, that makes o many to-day." This is by far the most sorrowful fea ture of the awful things connected with, and consequent upon, the town's de struction. The list of promineut men, useful men highly respected men that have been numbered among the victims of the flood is a long and sad one. As time rolls on. we will slowly awake to the fact that the community has suffered far beyond what we even now think, in the death of so many of our best men. In business quarters, the list is a de plorably long one, as follows: John Dibert, of the banking house of John Di bert & Co.; Howard J. Roberts, caslder of the First National Bank, J. P. Mc- Couaghey, John Brady, John Ilyan, John Fenn, M. S. Maloy, John H. Fisher, Sam uel Lenhart, Christ Kimple, JohnStreum, Jacob Swank, Geo. Unversaght, A. Na than, S. Goldenberg, Samuel Eldridge, Alvar Akers Abram Eldridge, Augustus Young, W. W. Pike, David Creed, W. D. Kirby, Capt. O'Conuell, George Raab, Jolm Schiifhuuer, Alex. Ivilgore, Charles Murr, John Coad, Got. Hoffman, Lou Benford, L. S. Clark, Alex. Recke, Louis Luckhardt, Emil Young, 8. T. Bloueli, J. G. Alexander, H. G. Ludwig, John Frank, Henry Pritchard. In the legal profession three are gone: viz; 11. G. Rose, John \V. Weakland, Theodore F. Zimmerman. The medical profession has been called upon to mourn the loss of six of its num numbur, namely: L. T. Beam, J. K. Lee, J. P. Wilson, H. W. Marbourg. W. C. Beam. G. C. Brinkey. In the long list many hag families, out of which comparatively few were saved, and in some instances nearly all were lost. ON Saturday of each week during months of July and August tickets good until Monday will be sold to all points on the Somerset and Cambria K. B. at ex cursion rates. J ttDOB MASTERS, who took time by the forelock, saved himself and family by go ing to the hill above Adams street, at 10$ o'clock Friday forenoon. He says when the official notice came at 2:30 o'clock that the dam would break, lie felt that was the time for him to fly to safety, and acted accordingly. He further says that he warned all he came in contact with, some of whom denounced the statement asa"d d lie," invented to scare the people. Before goiug to the hill lie went up Railroad street as far as the Gautier Works and gave the warning. Do NOT, in this warm weather, convqj-t the stomach mto a refrigerator for the whole system and endeavor to reduce the temperature of the body to a comfortable point by swallowing quantities of ice water at short intervals. The evil effects of ice-water are well known. When taken at meals the sense of taste is impaired. The indigestion, to say nothing of more serious troubles, which arises from the free use of ice-water, would entitle it to be set aside. Water at fifty degrees is co'd enough for drinking purposes. Drinking very cold water, like drinking very hot beverages, is a habit to be avoided. The extremes in this matter, as in most other cases, are dangerous. An Excellent Paper. Westmoreland Democrat. The first issue of the Johnstown DEMO CRAT, since the terrible flood, appeared on Friday last. The office of the DEMOCRAT was badly wrecked by the relentless waters. Brother Woodruff has our sym pathy in his misfortune and best wishes for success in his plucky efforts to again come up smiling. We hope that a long period of prosperity will attend his lubors byway of reimbursing him for his heavy reverses. The DEMOCRAT has always been an excellent paper and we are confident that it will soon be itself again. THAT DEATH-DEALING WAVE.
