HELLER, Manager. — , It is charged that the terrible Fontanet explosion, with its awful loss of life and destruction of property, was due to the failure of the DuPont Powder company (the trust), which owned the powder mill, to make necessary repairs to machinery. It appears that all the trust wants is dividends. Having a monopoly of the powder business, it has run things to suit itself. Not only did it fail to make repairs to its Fontanet factory which would have prevented the explosion, but it has regularly charged American miners who are compelled to use its powder about twice as much per keg as it charges abroad for the same goods. ■ . ■ Mr. Hearst’s ’’lndependence League” is showing the country just how “in-

dependent” it can be. It has entered into a fusion arrangement with the Republicans in New York against the Democrats, whereby the “league” will support the rest of the Republican county ticket and the Republicans will vote for Mr. Heart’s political manager for the office of sheriff, a place worth $60,00 a year. As the arrangement was made with Herbert Parsons, President Roosevelt's special manager in New York, it has the earmarks of a funny bargain. Beginning next Monday.

BIOGRAPHY—CHARLES McCONNEHEY. The Lord calls his laborers into the harvest field, ripe for the garnering. To some the day of labor is longer, to others shorter. To all he allots a full period. But the evening cometh, and he calls his workmen and gives to each their reward. “Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Rev. Charles McConnehey, son of William and Maggie McConnehey, was born Feb. 26, 1876. at Monroe, Adams county, Ind. He died in the blessed hope of eternal life on Wednesday morning. Oct. 16. 1907, at his home in Decatur, Ind., aged 31 years, 7 months and 20 days. The cause of his death was diabetes of which malignat disease he suffered about a year and a half. His ca.l came rather unexpected. He was able to pursue his duties a part of the day previous to the one of his departure. He was converted at the age of 15 years in his own home. While seated in his home with his Bible in his hand the peace of God came to his heart and the assurance of his acceptance was precious to him ever after. Early in life he was given to the contemplation of the solemn and the serious. While others of his age . went to seek amusement and worldly enjoyment on the Lord's day’ he turned his footsteps toward the house of the Lord or to employ his time in meditation and the reading of good books. i In the spring of 1893 he entered the ministry and since then has been in the active service until his health failed him about a year ago. He served with acceptance the following fields of labor in the bounds of the Indiana conference: Noblesville, one year; Altimont, one year; Edgerton, one year; (Continued on Page 4.) o • PUBLIC SALE.
