" "The Way wje Look at It,
The location of tho local post office is
now changed from Robbies' building to
Ferguson's theatre building. The new
quarters were opened this morning.
They are the most conveniently arranged
and best fitted post office quarters the
town has ever had. Post Office Inspector
Owen, of Harrisburg, inspected them on
Saturday and declared that they are the
finest in his district and that there is not
a better equipped office in the state.
The room is 80x50 feet in ulze and there
is ample light and ventilation. The
front entrance is on Main street nnd en
trance from the rear is made by way of
the regular entrance to the theatre from
Oak street and through the place which
has been used as a ticket office. All the
fixtures are new and are entirely different
from those used in the old quarters.
While the latter wore ot V shape and the
windows and boxes were at the front and

What the Mine Inspectb'r&gays Regarding
the Accident at Ellengogan.
Charles Nork, or Burke, tho IHthjianian
ot town who was terribly lojutSjkby a
blast in a slope of the EllengowatF'cgl.
llory on Saturday, losing his loft nana,
and his right eye, and sustaining a com
pound fracture of the skull, is Btill alive
at the Miners' Hospital, but his chances
for recovery are very few. An official re
port ot the accident shows that Nork and
his companions were engnged In cleaning
the slope. There was a five-foot of top
slate on top of the timbers and
in order to take off the weight
the officials came to the conclusion to take
the piece of slate down and put in long
timber to make the place safe. It was
necessary to blast tho slate and in order
to do this Nork had put a hole In the
gutter, In which he placed a squib and lit
Supposing the squib had missed fire
Nork went back and the blast went off
while he was standing over it. It is much
regretted that so many accidents occur
by men going back too soon when a squib
misses fire. Mine Inspector Stein, who
visited the place soon after the accident,
says such accidents are reported as "pre
mature explosions," while in fact they
frequently caused by carelessness.
If more care was taken in handling the
material, jumping on moving cars nnd
taking do. Tii loose coal and slate, tho Mine
nspector says, we would seldom Bee the
ambulance on our streets.

UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN PART..
United States Supreme Court Decision
On The Income Tax.
Special to Kvenimo Hekai d.
Washington, April 8, 2 p. m. The
Supreme Court of the United States has
just decided the suit brought to test thi
constitutionality of the income tax law.
The cour$,saye the income' tnx is un
constitutional so far as It relates to in-
s from rents, state, county, or
municipal bonds.
The court can find no difference between
tax on laud itself and tax on rents, or in
come derived from lands.
It finds that tax on rents, or lnnded in
vestments, is a direct tax and unconstitu
tional.
This decision does not make the entire
law unconstitutional, but will necessitate
considerable revision of the arrangements
for the collection of the taxes that are
held constitutional. A. V. A.
