Shaw Bldg., SALISBURY, UNTIL JULY 9. Tre Quemahoning Sentinel suggests that the enemies of Banking Commis- cioner Berkey had better get in out of the wet and form a united Republican party in Somerset county, and the Connellsville Courier adds that the Orphans should never go out in the wet, but they are entitled to the com- mon privilege of fighting within the party, and they will have a better chance at the next primary election if they remain “regular,” as they should. SoME of the Fayette county newspa- pers are biubbering and bawling like whipped school boys because the Som- erset county delegates dic not vote for Thompson, the Fayette county ecandi- date for Governor, at the Republican State convention. The men chosen to represent Somerset county in the con- vention did not pledge themselves to any particular candidate, and during the camprign they gave out that they would vote whatever way they believed would best suit the interests of Somer- set county. They voted for Stuart,and in doing so they voted for as good ja man as the Republicans ever nominat- ed for Governor in this state. Even the old kicking North American says Stuart is the best man the party has nominated in 40 years. Josiah V. Thompson is all right, but so is Stuart, and a very large majority of the dele- gates preferred Stuart. The Fayette county babies should stop their whin- ing and crying, for Thompson says he is for Stuart himself, now. He will be elected, too, by a large majority. For some days three well known “smart alecks” have been doing over- time in trying to secure signatures to a certain petition that originated in Som- erset, and was sent over here to be used for the purpose of enabling cer- tain sneaks to even up imaginary wrongs. They think they are working a very shrewd, sly dodge, but they are not, as we are onto all the lies they are springing, and we will soon be supplied with a copy of their petition, also copies of any and all letters that may accom- pany it. In the meantime. let them ply their hellish art, but rest assured that they will reap more harm to them- selves by it than toanyone else. Judg- ing by what scores of good people are telling us, the spite work fiends are not fooling very many citizens that amount to anything, and wise people usually keep their fingers out of dirty jobs that are intended only for spite work. But let them keep busy. One of them, however, should keep a little more busy in the interest of his employers, instead of taking a hand in dirty busi- ness that has a tendency to keep trade away from the store at which he is em- ployed. As for the other two ‘‘smart alecks,” an old addage says, “satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.” One of the other two is so in- fernal lazy that he smells bad, and it is seldom indeed that he is ever known to do an honest day’s work. His old oe- cupation of keeping a bonded ware- house on election days has been knock- ed out by the Corrupt Practices Act, and the poor thing must have some- thing to do that requires no muscular exercise. As for the other—well, he isn’t lazy, but his mouth has about completely played him out in this lo- cality, go far as getting work at his trade is concerned, but he would still do very well as an attendant at quilt- ing parties. — ee THE GOLDEN JUBILEE. The Republican party was born just fifty years ago, and it is most fitting that the occasion shall be honored by the people. The party has done much for the gountry’s development and prosperity. It is now apparent that its money and its tariff policies have been sound and successful beyond expecta- tion, and it is admitted that those of the opposition would have placed the country many years behind in pros- perity and progress. But not only has the Republican party aided in the material advance- ment of the nation, but it has ever worked manfully for its regeneration. Its first platform declared against “those twin relics of barbarism, polyg- amy and slavery.” Its almost unbro- ken success since 1860 has made a record not entirely free from petty peculations and political grafters, but the policy of its great commanders has been that voiced by the silent and sternly honest Grant, “Let no guilty man escape.” In this, the year of its golden jubi- lee, the country was never more pros- perous, the outlook for the future was never more bright, reform was never mose insistent and the rights of the people never more jealously guarded. The people do well to rejoice over its birth and to pray for its continuance in power.—Connellsville Courier. For the Enlightenment of a Union- town Jackass. John 8. Ritenour, editor of the Uniontown Genius of Liberty, an- nounces that D. J. Horner was defeated at the late Republican primary election because he is opposed to the compul- sory vaccination of school children. The Genius delivers itself as follows: “D.J Horner ran for the Republican nomination for Assembly in Somerset county on the usual ‘if nominated and elected I promises’ ete., platform, but with the unusual plank that he would vote for the repeal of the compulsory vaccination law, to which there is con- siderable hostility in that county. “Horner thought this idea ought to take with the people. But it didn’t. Since he solicited the votes of oppo- nents of vaccination, the friends of vaccination evened up by voting against him. Horner appears too much to typify a mere reminiscent prejudice. Medical science endorses vaccination as the best known method of prevent- ing smallpox, and the law.that compels .it is a wise and just law for the welfare ‘of the whole people.” Editor Ritenour’s assertions concern- ing Horner’s defeat are like the doctor- made vaccination statistics; they will not stand the light of investigation. For the enlightenment of the Union- town jackassical editor, we call his at- tention to the fact that at our last Re- publican primary we had four candi- dates for Assembly, namely, A. W. Knepper, J. W. Endsley, D. J. Horner and C.J. Duncan, and of these four candidates, all except Duncan announec- ed that if nominated and elected they would do all in their yower to bring about the repeal of the compulsory vaccination law. Duncan was made to believe that the issue raised by the other candidates was unpopular, and so he had a vaccination crank physi- cian to act as his campaign manager. But when the votes were counted, the returns did not please the vaccination doctor and his candidate even a little bit, for the anti-vaccination candidates, even down to Horner, all had a big ma- jority over Duncan. Following is the vote: Knepper, 2236; Endsley, 2202; Horner, 1896 ; Duncan, 1196. Now, let Mr. Ritenour go ’way back and sit down after exposing his ignor- ance. The percentage of illiteracy in Somerset county is much emaller than in Fayette county, and the more in- telligence there is in a county, the more pronounced the opposition to the damnable crime of vaccination, which is denounced by scientific mén and honest doctors the world over. Medical science does not teach that vaccination prevents smallpox; but medical graft under the guise of medi- cal science teaches that hideous doe- trine, and the easy dupes, those who are always ready to swallow anything on blind faith, without observing, rea- soning or thinking for themselves, are willing to stand for the perpetuation of the crime. But— Ev'ry nation and town has its flower. In Uniontown it’s John Ritenour. The name of the “Dosey oonaga) it not— It’s the well-known blooming idi-ot. P. 8. It's the same one that presides over the columns of the Genius of Lib- erty, a paper opposed to liberty, and whose editor still votes, even at this late day, for “Gineral Andy Jackson and the hull Dimekratick ticket.” SUPERIORITY PROVES ITSELF.

A grown daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Burkholder, of Elk Lick town- ship, was badly injured in a runaway accicent, last Friday. Miss Burkhold- er has been in poor health for some time, and was brought to Salisbury to consult a physician, last Friday, ac- companied by Wm. Bender. The couple were riding in a buggy, and when nearly out of town on their way home, a shaft bolt broke, causing the shaft to drop down and frighten their horse. The horse then started to run away, but did not go far until the ve- hicle came in collision with a telephone pole, throwing both occupants out. Mr. Bender escaped with a few slight bruises, but Miss Burkholder was very seriously injured. One of her legs was broken in two places, and she was also badly injured otherwise.

Two Men Badly Injured by Powder Explosion at C. J. Yoder’s Lime- stone Quarry. A disastrous powder explosion oe- curred at C. J. Yoder’s limestone quar- r§, near Niverton, about 3 o’clock Mon- day afternoon, seriously injuring Mr. Yoder. and also badly burning Edward Georg, one of Yoder’s employes. Edward Georg, E. K. Blauch, Wm. Tressler and Louis Hanft were all work- ing at the quarry with Mr. Yoder at the time the explosion occurred, and the accident was caused by cutting powder cans open with an ax in the bands of Yoder. It is supposed that the friction caused by striking the ax into the iron can caused a spark, which ignited the powder. It has been customary at Yoder’s quarry to drill a great many holes into the rock and earth with a steam drill- ing machine which drills a hole about 4){ inches in diameter. After the holes are drilled they are charged with many cans of powder, also a quantity of dy- namite. and after everything is put in readiness, the charges are all exploded at once by means of an electric battery. In that way many tons of limestone and earth are loosened and broken asunder by a single explosion. v On Monday afternoon Mr. Yoder and his.employes were engaged at opening powder cans and charging drill holes, when the premature explosion occurred as noted. Yoder was frightfully burn- ed about the hands, arms, back and one side, the skin hanging from his hands and arms in shreds six inches long. It is said that he will likely be crippled for life. Edward Georg was also burned badly on his back, arms, shoulder and hands, but his burns are not considered of sufficient severity to make a cripple of him. Wm. Tressler was only slightly scorched, and Blauch escaped with a severe jolt, he being thrown violently to the ground by the force of the ex- plosion, and Georg was thrown on top of him. Mr. Hanft was lucky enough to escape without injury. Not only did the last can of powder explode that Mr. Yoder opened, but the contents of seven cans in one drill hole and seventeen in another let go at the same time, throwing rock, earth and fire in every direction. It is a wonder indeed that the men were not all killed or maimed for life, and the explosion might easily have been much worse, as near to the exploded powder were thirty other cans of the same ex- plosive, also about 50 pounds of dyna- mite and a lot of dynamite exploders. While we feel very sorry for Mr. Yoder and the other injured man, yet we cannot refrain from saying that it was a very careless and foolhardy act to cut powder cans open with an ax. Common sense should reveal to any man the danger of striking fire by cut- ting open iron powder cans with an ax, and a spark of fire is a dangerous thing when it lands in a can of powder. But most men become more or less careless of explosives after using them almost daily. WILL HELP SOME. Thousands annually bear witness to the efficiency of Early Risers.
