Terrible Explosion.
JOHNSTOWN IS AGAIN THE SCENE
OF GREAT DISASTER.
Johnstown. Pa., has again been
Visited by an Apalling disaster. It is
only less frightful than the awfu'
calamity of May 81, 1889, in cost of
life, but in its terrible consequences it
has brought the shadow of sorrow in
hundreds of homes made desolate by a
mine explosion which took place in
the Cambria .Steel Company rolling
rolling mill mine, under the West*
moot Hill at 12:20 o'clock this after 1
noon.- |
How many are dead; It may take,
several days to full determine, but,
that It is a long and shocking list It
certain,' It may reach $00 or more
men.
It was nearly an hour after the ex*
'plosion before any geberal knowledge
' of what had happened got abroad.
Men who came from the mines, escap*
ing with their lives, told th* terrible
news aud it soon spread like wildfire
all over the city. In scores of homes
there were the most pathetic scenes!
Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and
relatives were frantic with grief. Hun
dreds rushed io the Point, and with
sobbing hearts awaited news that did
not come from the ill-fated mine.
The few survivors who have es*
caped from the depths of the mine de*
scribe the condition as frightful. Out
side of the "Klondike" the mines are
safe and uninjured. Within the fatal
limits of the mine the havoc wrought
by the explosion are such as beggar
description. Solid walls of masonry
three feet through were torn down
as if they were barriers of paper.
The roofs of the mine were demolished
and not a door remains standing.

Dothan, Ala.. July 10.—Pat Fortner
a young man about 20, year* of age,
committed suicide here la*t night
about 9 o'clock by taking strychnine.
The cause that led up to the act, at far
aa obtained, was that b<s father de
sired him to assist in setting out some
potato vine*. He told his people that
the aun would not r »* again upon him
a live mau. As soou as it was dis
covered that he had swallowed the
polsion medical aid waa summoned,
but it was too late, the deadly drug
had already done-Us work. He wy
buried here this afternoon with mill<
tary honors.
Reduced to 18,000 Officers and Men.
Within two or three months the
Federal army of occupation in the
Philippine archipelago will have been
reduced to 18,000 officers and men.
is regarded by-General Chaffee as
ample force for all emergencies in the
iilands.
If the garrison of 18,000 is to. be re*
garded as a’permanent feature of
Philippine acquisition the average
coat of the lalanda from a military view
point may be fairly estimated. The
troops in the Islands must be changed
every two years, since no American
could endure the tropical climate for
a longer period without permanent
physical injury. .This means that
from 35,000 to 40,000 men must be con
stantly under arms, one-half in the
United States recuperating. These
troops will cost not less than $40,000,-
000 a year, with an additional charge
varying from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000,
for the cost of transportation on land
and sea. _

Jar's strike is on in earnest and many
evidences to this effect haye already
been noticed. □ It is expected that the

Griggs Will Make It Hot,
Congressman Griggs, who is
in New York, said to an associat
ed press reporter:
Our campaign will commence
at once and the issue will be
tariff nurtured trusts. Tbe Re
publicans cannot satisfy the peo
ple by having, their president
tour the country talking against
the trusts. They haye sinned
away their day of grace by re
fusing to consider trust legisla
tion, when they had ample oppor
tunity and when every Demo
crat in congress would have joi ti
ed them."
Judge Griggs is chairman of
the congressional campaign com
mittee, and he proposes to make
it hot for the republicans.
Flood a Ilea Moines.
lies Moines, Ip., July 20.—The flood
situation reached its most alarming
tage early this morning. The Des
Moines river was 21 feet above low
water mark at 7 o’clock, having risen
three feet in less than 10 hours. It is
still rising at a rapid rate. The. Rac-
i river, which empties into the
Des Moines at this place, advanced
four feet between 3 and 7:30 o'clock
this morning and is still goingup. The
flood is at the highest point since
1851, when the river was six feet deeo
over what U now occupied by thou
sands of residence*, business houses
and factories. At that time the river
was but a foot higher than at present
and It (a evident that the record will
be broken. Nothing but the levees

score of places t hey/j a ve broken.

"At the time of the civil war,"
an old merchant. "Potter Palmer waa

fiud Levi Z. Loiter and Marshall Field
were working for him. Palmer wasn’t
ao well known, but he had a good rep
utation iu the trade, aud be didn’t have
to introduce himself when be called on
Old A. T. Stewart to buy aome goods.
After some dickering they agreed upon
the price, and Palmer calmly said that
he would take about $10O,tMX) worth.
It was a little larger bill than Stewart
exactly cured to sell young Paltrier on
credit, but be concluded to make the
deal and told him to come In tbe next
morning and arrange some final de
tails. That night some big war newa
came, and It didn't require any decla
ration by the government to Inform ev
ery dry goods man In the country that
the price of goods would take a big
spurt up. Stewart recognised It as soon
aa he had the news, and he Immediate*
ly thought of Puitner. He also thought
pf the big bill of goods Palmer had
ought of him. It didn't particularly
tckle Stewart, that thought didn't
‘-i But It required only a few ecratchof
of bis red head to flx things to h1a sat-
lafactlon. He would almply tell Pal
mer that he waa sorry, but that be
didn’t feel that be could tell such a
big bill on credit and as be knew that
Palmer couldn't raise the cash Imme
diately, why. that would end It. and
the sale would be off. Well, young
Palmer cnlled early, and Stewart
greeted him In hi* very abrupt eet innn-
■, telling him how sorry he was. etc.,
but really he didn't th'nk It wire busi
ness to extend .credit for such nn
amount.
•Just how much docs the bill come
to?' said young Palmer, seemingly sor
rowful-like.
• *' 'Just $110,000,' Stewart replied, and
then he straightway gullied for breath
>ung Palmer drew an Immense
pocketlKx»k from bis Inside vest pocket
and, opening it, counted out tlO thou
sand dollar bills aud. laying then! quiet
ly on Stewart’s desk, said: ‘If you will
kindly count them and give me a re
ceipt, I’ll l»e obliged, as I must tnkc the
next train home. Ship the goods soon
as yon can, and when you’re out our
way drop In. Always glad to see our
friends.’ "—New York Times.

A womsn who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.

owing to our giving them Chamber*

their plumpness and came out in much
better health tcan other children whose
parents did not use the remedy. Our

A man who was called on to address
a Sunday 'school In a Pennsylvania
town took tbe familiar theme of the
children who mocked Elijah on his
journey to Bethel—how tbe youngster#
taunted the poor old prophet, and how
they were punished when the two she
bears came out of the wood aud ato
forty-two of them. "And now, chil
dren," said the speaker, wishing to
learn If his talk had produced any
moral effect, "what does this story
show?"
"Please, sir,” came from a little girl
well down In front, "it shows how
many children two she bears can bold!"

Whose bad opinion

Whose, .good op in- .
ion do you want?
The most impor
tant thing to you in
your business is cub-
to mere.
The strongest ad
junct in making cus
tomers is the way you
impress them. A
large part of the im
pressing is done in
the kind of printing
they get from you.
The only printing that you have may be jour s'ationary,
envelopes, cards and other pieces of what are called com
mercial printing.
Even in these things it is possible to exercise good taste,
as we can soon show you il you will examine some of our
samples of printing.
If jou advertise, if only to the extent of n * , mal! folder
or an occasional booklet, you should anticipate and dis*
count the judgement of your customers by laying before
them printing that is refreshing, distinct, original, clean
and direct, '
There are all kinds of printing in every town
There is only one good kind
One piece of good printing is worth a hundred pieces
