The man who never .contributes to public enterprise or -voluntarily assists In supporting any -public enterprise is not worth coax ing to remain In town, and should he decide to move away. It is a mat ter of congratulation. It's units and not ciphers that count. "He a unit." A CITY OCT OF DEBT. The Dally Courier-Post of Hanni bal, Mo., makes the statement that the city of Hannibal was entirely out of debt September 1, 1908. This Is certainly a remarkably fine .condition for a city to bo In. Han nibal should make that fact known -all over the country, and It can do .so with very .little effort. The fact that a city the size of Hannibal Is out of debt will attract so much at tention In itself that It will require very little effort in advertising to keep that Item going around through the papers for quite awhile. Hannibal is in the northeastern -part of Missouri, nnd no part of the country Is advancing faster than that sHectlon of the "Show-mo" state. "Years ago Hunnlbal was a great lum ber working and lumber shipping point on the Miftsoiirl river. Its lumber Interests were exceptionally large, and very successfully handled ."by the men cngag -d In business at that place. It mado the town well "known and at that time It was a very busy placo. When the lumber Intor osta. up the Mississippi began to be -worked out, Hunnlbal was ono of the towns that began to fuel the decline, .and as Hannibal was farther down tho river than the Iowa cities along Alio Mississippi It felt tho effect bo 1foro they did. Then for a number .of yours Huuuihul stood still. The census of 1000 gave Hannibal xihout 13,000 population. About that tlmo Its citizens awoke- to tho Jnct that If they wanted Hannibal to grow they would have to mnko 3tnown Its advnntngos. They then formed tho Commercial club and went nctlvoly to work to sccuro ninnuracturlug Institutions for the ttown. They wore certainly very suc cessful, and today Hannibal Is a thriving growing city, und nn Inspir ation to tho country surrounding It. It Is Just now blossoming out; It lias ono of tho largest ccmont plants In Che country, Inimonso shoo fnctorles, ".big flour mills, foundries, railroad -.shops, pinning mills, nnd other Insti tutions, nnd has n population of ovor -.20,000. It Is essentially a railroad .and manufacturing city, nnd Is sur troumlcd by a fertile ngrlculturnl (xountry. Its transportation facilities snre first class, with Its four railroads n tho Mississippi rlvor. It has jgriHuI roads that woro originally toll ronas.

W,VSSS,'SS,'SSSSSSSSSSSSX COMIX' OP OCTOIJER. It's a comin' on October, an' the woods is gettin' yeller; Sort o' hazyllke an' lazy to a dreamy sort o' feller. They's a jay a-slngln' sassy on a pin oak by th' gate, An' a katydid a'fiddlln' "Gittin' la ter! Gittin' la-ate!" They's a gum tree turnln' purple an' a maple turnln' red An' th' beech leaves is a-brownln like as if the tree was dead, it's wine instid o' blood drops Oh, that's a-pumpin' round In me, 'Cause It's comin' on October, an' I'm glad as I kin be. Sky's th' bluest in th' middle sort o' grayish 'round th' rim, While th furder hills is purplish an' their shies is kind o' dim. Every maple is a-blazin' like the bush that Moses seen When he had t' take 'is -shoes off an go barefoot on th' green. Chestnut burrs is gittin' bigger, ground is strewn with akern cups, An th' whole blamed world Is pur tier'n a brace o' spotted pups, forgettin' that I'm 40, an re- I'm memberin' I'm 11, 'Cause it's comin' on October an' I'm shoulder deep In heaven. AXOX. Freedom of speech Is a great thing, except when our enemies get too per sonal In their remarks. As Tom Hall met Hugh McLain on the street the other day, he said: "Are you still a democrat or a democrat still." Some Coos Day women carry them selves so royally they make you be lieve every dish they handle Is "queenswarc." A little girl who had listened to a discussion of nature fakers In lite rature when asked to define the human and animal families replied: "A .brute Is an Imperfect beast; man Is a perfect beast." Father "What, In your opinion. Is my son's natural bent?" Teacher "Across a knee." Jackhon "No, I never take the newspaper homo. I've got a family of grown-up daughters, you know." Friend "Papers too full of crime, eh?" Jackson "No; too full of bargain sales." Freddlo And now that we are en gaged, deur, I must tell you that I have never kissed a girl before In my life. Klttio Good gracious! Freddlo, what an awful lot of practice you'll want! Merry Widow, Deceased. In Mcmorlan Whereas, A belated out good and all-wiso fashion has decreed the death of the Merry Widow hat; und Whereas, Tho Merry Widow hat has been an all-round confounded nuisance, Inasmuch ns It has gouged out eyes, stopped trains, cut holes In men's faces and pockotbooks; nnd Whorcas, It has performed other and divers deeds of wanton cruelty; bo It Resolved, That wo nro darned well i pleased and will danco at tho fu nornl. A Coos Bay girl had a host of beaux, A morry widow hat and a lot of clnux, But which sho loved best, she only knenux But a Captain enmo along her hand to woo, And sho snapped him up tho' he had- not n soo, But thoy nil won't do this only a foo.

Accidents in the coal mines of the United State3 in 1S07 resiilted in i death to 3,125 men and injury to 5,316 more an Increase of 1033 In number of deaths and 516 in the number of injuries over the record of 1S06. The reports received indicate a death rate per thousand employes of 3.31 in 1906 and 4.86 In 1907, and the number of tons mined for each life lost decreased from 194,950 to 145,471. The state which had the lowest death rate per thousand (0.65) in 1907 was Missouri, where 499,742 tons of coal were mined for each life lost. West Virginia reported the largest death rate In 1907 12.35 per thou sand and the lowest production for each life lost 65,969 tons. Of the total number reported for the last calendar year, 947 deaths and 343 Injuries were caused by gas and dust explosions, 201 deaths and 416 injuries by powder explosions and windy shots, 1122 deaths and 2,141 Injuries by falls of roof or coal; 855 deaths and 2416 injuries were ascribed to other causes. The fig ures for 1907 show, however, that explosions of gas or mixtures of gas and dust have comparatively fatal results, the number killed in this way during the year being three times as great as the number Injur ed. Commenting on this record in his report upon the coal production of the country, published by the United States geological survey as an ad vance chapter from "Mineral Resour ces of the United States, Calendar Year 1907," E. W. Parker, the coal expert and chief statistician of the survey says: "It has been said that there is only one way by wnicn accidents in coal mines can be entirely prevented, and that is by ceasing to mine coal. There is no doubt, however, that the num ber of accidents may be greatly less ened, and much benefit Is anticipated from the action of Congress In ap propriating ?1.'0,000 to enable the United States Geological Survey to in vestigate the cause of mine explo sions and make recommendations In relation thereto." CCRRY COUXTY FOREST FIRES. Flumes Do Much Damage Near Gold Reach. The Wedderburn Radium says: For the past week the country about Wedderburn has been envelop ed in a heavy pall of smoke, and fires have been burning on every side. The timber back of Gold Beach has been burning for over a week; the school house, and fences belonging to John Prince at Squaw Valley were burned; fire encompassed the build ings on the Edson place, owned by R D. Hume, but the buildings were not - destroyed; Charles Bailey has saved his range and buildings thus far by heroic work; damage to range has been done In the coast country near Wakeman's, and the fire In that vici nity is still burning. There is still fire near Squaw Valley and some In the country southwest of Alf Miller's. But forty acres have been burned over in the Hume holdings and the fire Is extinguished. The rain which commenced will doubtless bo Instru mental in quenching the fires and it was a welcome advent to tho ranchers who have been apprehensive of widespread damage." CHEAP RATES.
