The Decatur Democrat is free to say that, al-' though all the candidates before the . peapie last Friday had merit and I friends, the wisdom of the voters can not be doubted, and the fairness sf: Jhe contest prompts a cheerful and I good-natured acceptance of the ticket as the choice of the party. Even the Decatur Journal, the republican news-; paper, says “the result ?s accepted in general as the Voice of choice.” The 1 full party vote was out, too. demonstrating that the people are ready and willing to go to the polls when | they know that their votes count Fri the result. For instance, there was a total of 3,012 votes cast for joint sena-, t tor,and a total of 3,317 votes cast for! the candidate for county auditor.’ The democratic vote for president in 1902 was 3,337, #nd for secretary cf! state in 1903, 2,491.

, year. The fuel question is one in which every business man is interested. The price that must be paid the miners fixes to a certain extent the price of the coal to consumers. Therefore the whole country is interested in having a peaceable settlement of difference between miners and employes to keep down the prices of the fuel. The convention this year promises to be one of unusual inter ::t. From several quarters the word lias come that lite operators will insist on a reduction of H cents n ton. The miners on the other hand are almost certain to demand an increase in the scale. The contest promises to be a warm one and the country in this case will have to bear ‘he cost of the decision whichever way it may he. Due to a Hot Journal. Scranton. Pa. Jan.

Ky., Jan. 18.—Eighteen I I delegates to the convention of the Na tional league of Commission Merchants were thrown into the icy water of Echo river, which winds a tortuous eottrse through Mammoth cave anti were saved only by the coolness of the guide. .John Nelson, and the heroic work of Charles A. Muehlbronner of Pittsburg. Pa. The roof of the cave i over Echo river is arched and the i space in the center, owing to animae countable rise in the river, was only ■ two ami a half feet above the water. In order to secure the passage of the boat the men and women were forced to stoop over. At one place the boat swerved to one side, raking the heads I of the persons in the l>oat next to the] ’ bunk These leaned farther forward to escape striking their heads. This lowered one end of the boat, and the water began to tl >w in rapidly. The guide saw the danger and called to Mr. Muehlbronner to jump and take the chain. This he did. landing on a , sleep hank, which offered only a slight foothold. 1 Lying down on his lace, he held to the chain and pulled the boat , toward the bank. The bout sank in eight fee* <>f water. I but further back where there was no i landing the water is eighteen feet deep.
