The tarlll question is the over
shadowing issue in American politics
to-day, and while the Democrats of
Pennsylvania hrivo resolved to the
contrary the voters of tlie common
wealth understand that a vote for
Gregg and Morrison Is a vote lu tho
interest of American labor and of the
American farmer, while a vote for
Wright and Tllden Is a ballot for
candidates whose election Is being
prayed for, night and day, on the
other side of the Atlantic,
If you
want to sustain American Interests to
the exclusion of the interests of
British Free Traders, vote the Repub
lican ticket. If you want to vote to
tickle the British and In a way to
pauperize American labor vote the
Democratic ticket and your purpose
will be accomplished I

AN OBJECT OF ATTRACTION.
Superintendent Williams' Mine
Drill Gaining Ground.
For several days past groups of men, the
majority of them being miners, havo been
frequenting Luburg's hardware store, on
North Main street. Seeing a group of the
horny-handed sons of toil In the sture yes
terday afternoon a UkkALD reporter
rteppod in to learn tho object of attraction
md lound it in a splendid little model ol
tho mine drill patented by Mr. John L
Williams, tho diviion superintendent lor
the Philadelphia & Reading O. & I. Co.
Tho model is an exceedingly neat piece of
work and it shows tho uso of the full-size
machine very advantageously. It has at
tracted hundreds of miners to the etoro the
past week. It is placed upon a box in front
of a lump if coal, so visitors may operate
it and understand bow it works, and teethe
advantages of tho macblns over other
drills. Tho miners who havo seen the
modol and who have used the drill in their
work say the machine Is destined to go to
the front and outstrip all other styles. A
description of tho drill may not bo out of
place hero. Tho accompanying cut has
been kindly loanod to tho Hera d by Mr.
Williams.
The drill overcomes, in an cffoctuil and
practical manner, n-arly alt the owontlal
objections which hereto
fore havo orovonted any ol
tho so-culled labor-saving
drilling machines from be
coming popular among
miners. Tho principal fea
turcs of tho drill aro de
lineated in tho accompany
ing cut and it is 6hown in
a position ready for work.
Tho main bar (A) is made
o malleablo iron, about
30 inchrs long and 11
incln'S thick. Tho for
ward end (f) is slightly
beveled and tapered, tho
upper surface being pro-
yiuoa wun six steol spur
teeth. Attached to tho
main bar by a slot bolt ( j) is a brace rod
(t) and wedge (g). By this contrivance tho
drill can be secured in position in less than
ten soconds, by driving tho wodgo (g) un
derneath tho forward end of main bir
with a hammer, thus forcing tho
teeth firmly into tho coal. Th
wedge g), as already shown, bolng
attached to the brace rod (tl which is
tcrnw throadod at tho back end (j'l-
easlly adjusted in the slotted boitand held
in placo by lock or jam nuts. Tho brace
rod (t) thus tightened prevents all vibration
ol tho main bar (A) or the drill-ouarUlnit
t''ed bar (b) which il carries, thereby
rendering the drill loss liable to loss of
power in cutting, because Its course is kept
truo and free from friction. At the hick
end of the main bar (A), and attached to it
by an ordinary bolt, is flttod a spherical
socket, with ball boanng geared to tho
head-iiece or nut. Tho head-piece is
threaded on the inside to carry tho tubular
or hollow feed bar lb) through which
tho drill stora (0 passes. This drid
stem (i) is fitted so as to revolve freoly
within tho teed bar (4) through which it
pasfos, in order to oorcomo all resistance
on tho bit (o) when hard substancos aro
encountered, which is oasily accomplished
by merely turning a thumb scrow id) on
the wheel end of thofred bar. This throws
tho drill 6tom (J) free from tho food bar (A)
to rovolve without being forced forward
faster than tho operator may desire to feed
it, which he does in tba same manner as if
using tho ordinary rachet to drill iron.
The crank bandies (k) are supplied with
oxtbnsion levers, and tho feod can be regu
lated fast or slow by turning tho hand
whool (e) in connection with tho cranks,
or by using it to feod in rachet stylo when
cutting through bard rock or elate. Tho
cog wheel (c) gives great additional
power to tho machine and is
"iio of Its material advantages.
Tho foed bar (4) has a slot wheroln a
feathered key of the cog wheel (c) fits to
enablotheuso of the crank handles (A) on
the sides, which besides Us increase mo
tive powor, Is a great benefit when it is
ro'iuired to bore a hole close to the rib side.
Tho bit (a) is made with throo cutting
points, which takes out the center and face
of a bole quickly, while tho twist of tho
bit (a) increases in spiral form all tho way
from point to heel, which makes it im
possible for the cuttings to clog tho hole, as
they are carried backward and discharged
at the mouth of tho opening. This not
only does away with a scraper, but ensures
. free and easy working of the drill to any
depth required.
The feed attachment of Mr. Williams'
drill can bo readily adjusted to the drills
made by Hownlls, Bittonbondor and others.
Tho drill, however, is far superior to thpso
of other make, as was amply demonstrated
In the test before several prominent mine
officials at the Kohley Run colliory. It is
simple in all points of construction, does
not oxceed twenty-five pounds in weight,
and can bo sold at retail less than the price
now charged for the others at a'good profit.

COMMISSIONERS FROM UTAH
STILL SEEKING- RECRUITS.
FULLY 200 ELDERS ARE ENGAGED
Laboring With Renewed Activity
Throughout England and Scan
dinavia Tho Prosolylors All
Young Men.
London, Sep. 11. The renewed nc
tlvlty of Mormon mlsstonarlealn England
nnd In Scandinavia is attracting marked
nttcntlon. As previously stated fully
200 elders from Utah are now engaged iu
tbo work of pronulyting in the two coxin
tries mentioned. They nre sent from
Snlt Lnko City with commissioners, to
stay one or two years, when they return,
nnd their places nro taken by frosU re
cruits. In Yorksblro tliero nro known to bo
eight at work, and inoro than this num
ber nro laboring in Lancashire Two of
these mlisionniles have been working in
n small Lancashire village for uearly a
year.
They do not bold public meetings, but
endeavor to secure converts by private
interviews. Their method is to visit tho
people in their own homes nnd In con
versation with thom to point out tho
beauty of tbo system of belief of tbo Lat
ter Day Saints. They havo n supply of
trncts, setting forth tho Mormon fnltb,
which they freely distribute Theso
proselyters are young men.
A reportor happened to be visiting tho
cottage when ono these missionaries
called. Hie cottage was occupied by
three women weavers, and all single.
The elder said, after a pleasant greet
ing, "I will leave you this tract and will
call again to answer you nry questions
you may desire to ask mo about it."
The tract contained nu outline of the
doctrines nnd was entitled "Tho Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Its Faith and Teaching. By Elder John
Morgan."
A man, whom ono of these ciders vis
ited, says: "I nskod him a simple ques
tion, and that wns enough. I said: 'Do
you believe in a plurality of wivesf Ho
replied in tho nfllrmatlvo. I then told
lilm that Mint finished tho Job, so fur ns I
wns concerned.
To a man ono of the ciders showed a
card containing tho "articles of faith"
of tho Latter Day Saints, which asserted
belief in tho gift or prophecy, in visions,
in the power of healing by prayer,
itc. The man suggested to tho eldor
that he go with him and euro a girl who
bad a withered hand. To this request
tho elder replied that be bad seen sight
restored to the blind by prayer, but that
he would not visit the girl referred to,
us faith was necessary on her part in or
der to bring about a cure.
This elder in tho courso of an inter
view said polygamlsts wore of as pure
life as others. They lived in nccordanco
with the laws of Abraham. They were
not prompted by vice, but were simply
fulfilling God's will.
"Thero aro no Mormons now living in
polygamy," said ho, "but they are obey
ing tho decision of the Supreme Court of
tho United States. In Utah it is believed
that tho decision is unjust, nnd wo
fought it until the Church decided to
nbido by the decision.
"The decrco, howover, caused a grent
amount of suffering, In consequence of
the forced separation of wives nnd chil
dren from their husbands ana rntliors.
"Wo bellove that Christ will return to
His own pcoplo, who will be gathered to
gether in tho United States, Our con
verts are still mostly drawn ' from Eng
land, Wulcs and Scandinavia."
Improved Mail Faollltios.
Postmastor Goo. S. Keipor, and his effi
cient aid, F. E. Slrohmoior, are constantly
dvliug means by which our mail facili
ties can bo Improved, and tinco thoy havo
ben working together have tucceodod in
mklng several radical changes in tho sys
tem that have been of much boneSt to our
business people. By tbi-ir lalost move,
("tiers aro now sent from Ashland ti
Scranton, Wilkes-Bar -o, Eiston, Hnzieton,
Shenaudoah and other points on the "can
non ball" train, loaving tbo P. & R. station
at 0 12 p. m. Although they trAVol a
longer distance to get to their destinations,
they aro received there much quicker than
if tbey bad been hold until noxt morning
and sent by the regular mail trains. They
,u e punched direct to Philadelphia where
tbey arrive at 11 p. m, and leave on mid
night trains for points named. Thus It can
bo seen that a letter for Sbenaiidoah, leav
ing on this train, tavels two hundred and
lorty nulos to reach a town that is only
nlno miles distant. Although It is pouched
1.0 Philadelphia and travels this remark
able distanco, it Is back in Shenandoah at
4:21 next morning, which is somewhat of
an improvement over tho old way of send
