Brandon's Elixtioxeekin'o Trip
to Ridoway. He sprang to his feet
and said unto Jim we will have no
more doubts ftbout the vote of Ridg
way I will go myself at once to Ridg
way, I have the power and the influ-
ence and am willing to use it in behalf
of Wurzell, the collar going back to
place with considerable force, caused
by the sudden expansion of his chest.
Hold, cries Jim, dont be too fitst, take
It cool, go quiet, you then can make
'your point. Don't contract as sudden
as you inflate or you may lose your
collar. Then spake Brandon unto
Jim, I will fulfill my part then there
will be no reason why I should not
have what you promised me.
He starts for Ridgway, ears up, chest
full, to make sure of the safe keeping
ttt the collar. The spicey editor after
arriving safe at the depot, looks arouud
to see if any Wurzell men were in
sight but none were to be seen. He
then spoke to himself, I must get away
from here, for no encouraging signs do
I see; I must hasten to the tannery
He inflates once more and takes the
middle of the road; he gets across the
Clarion bridge; he begins to meditate.
he speaks aloud, what's the use going
any farther I know I can do no good
electioneering for Wurzell, but I mus
not stop here. He starts again but
xloes not go a great distance until h
comes to the conclusion that his In

manner: I am satisfied that I can !

can say to Jim and others when I got
home that it looks well. I need not
say who it looks well for, they will
take it for granted that it is for Wur
zell. I must get out of this, let me see
(looking'around) I have it, this must
be Dickinson Bros', lumber yard, I
will get in behind one of these board
piles and lie down for some time, but
I may take cold, I guess I had better
get under one of these higher piles, I
can remain here without any oue see
ing me. He gets uneasy, he hears a
train. He imagines it to be the mail;
he gets up, complains of his arm (that
arm will never get as well as It was
once) he appears chilly; he shivers;
he looks at his watch.- is it possible,
have I been here so long, 4:30 o'clock?
My watch was right when I left home,
the train might have been late, I will
hasten to town and see if my watch
is right. Behold, when he arrives
and compares time he finds the min
ute hand loose. He says to himself I
am afraid some one has seen me, but I
guess not. He finally reaches the de
pot ready for home, when he meets a
friend and they talk about the pros
pects of Wurzell:
Friend Well, Brandon, what Jdo
you think of Wurzell's chances?
Brandon Well, I don't know, but
ratherthink Wurzell will pull through.
F Don't you think Wurzell's base
ball career will hurt him?
B I do. Jim Hall thinks it will
defeat him, but I don't know about
that.
F Wurzell never paid any tax in
the county, or did he even vote?
B No. But Jim wanted him nom
inated and lie thinks by hard work he
may boi1e to elect hi m.
F-yC understand that Wurzell was
jftig to whip Fred. Schcening because
he would not support him. I don't
think that kind of electioneering will
moke any votes. What think you?
B That was very Unwise. Jim
gave him the devil to eat when be
heard of it Good afternoon. ()
Newspaper Laws.
li A postmaster is required to give
notice by letter, (returning a paper
does not answer the law) when a sub
scriber does not take his pajier out of
the ofliee, and state the reasons for its
not being taken ; any neglect to do so
makes the ictmaster responsible to
the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who takes a paper
from the postoftice, whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he
lias subscribed or not is responsible for
the pay, .
8. If any person orders his paper
discontinued he must pay all arrear
ages, or the publishers may continue
to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, whether it
be taken from the ofliee or not. There
can be no legal discontinuance until
the payment is made..
4. If the subscriber orders his paper
to stop at a certain time, and the pub
lisher continues to send, the subscriber
is bound to pay for it, if he takes itou?
of the post-offlce. The law proceeds
upon the grbuhd that a man must pay
for what he usest
5. The courts have decided that re
fusing to take a newspaper and peri
odicals from the post-ottice or remov
ing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud'

Letter from St. Mary's.
Bt Mary's, Oct. 27, 1879.
Henry A. Parsons, Jr.,
Editor Advocate. Dear Sir.'
The big dog with the brass collar
talks about the "bob tail'' ticket, but
It Is hard to tell what he means at any
time by what he says, consequently
what he does say has no force 'or
weight, as the chap said when the
ackass kicked him, people consider
where it comes from; a man must be
without much consideration who is
as tow as he Is In this respect.
M r. Ames has been here a number
of years and the only ill thing that
could ever be said of him was that he
was a partner of Jim Hall's. He has
got rid of that now and stands alone
and is respected by every one who
know him. On the other hand no one
outside of St. Mary's knows Wurzell
and they who know him here know
him only as a tool ready to do the
bidding of his masters.
The office of District Attorney is
an importantone one, involving con
slderable labor without a kreat deal of
pay and their Is no profit In an
honest administration of the duties of
the position. Wurzell has his char
acter to make yet, Ames' Is -already
made. We have watched his goinj
out and coming in for years and know
him to be reliable, while, politically,
would prefer A Democrat for any
office, the District Attorney should he
its much removed from politics as th
President Judge, and character, and
capacity should be the only test re
quired by the voter. Mr. Wurzell
may be smart and may be honest but,
like Old Dog Tray, he is In bad com
pany.
I happen to know personally that
Mr. Ames has been prevailed upon to
be a candidate against his own wishes
and feelings, therefore let all who
have insisted upon Jus running put
their shoulders to the wheel. People
of Elk county spew out this inlruder
this carpet bagger. Wurzell. who has
never voted or paid tax in the county
and give your votes to a man of char
acter and position in his profession
I am,' Sir, yours very truly,
A DEMOCR AT
(of thirty years standing.)
If you desire a respectable Dis
trict Attorney vote for Ames.

Uuffalo Bill.
From the Western Nebrasklan, North Platte,
Neb.
The life and adventures of Hon. W
F. Cody Buffalo Bill our townsman
and honored fellow citizeu as told by
himself, is a biography of oue of the
prominent characters that make life
on the "Great American Desert'1 of
thrilling interest, and instructive to
the general reader. His biography,
will, as stated by the publisher, prove
a valuable contribution to Western
frontier life. Many of the scenes,
hair breadth escapes aud hazardous
exploits described in this work, are
known to many of the author's old
time frontier friends, who will readily
recognize with what modest, yet truth
ful language Buffalo Bill details his
own experience, in scenes and under
circumstances which tried the soul
aud tested the nerve and courage of
the Great Scout and Guide. Buffalo
Bill has a reputation more than na
tional in its extent. Among his
warm personal friends he found such
noted uenerais ana valiant warriors
as Generals Phil Sheridan, E. A. Carr,
the brave Custer, Reynolds, the Grand
Duke Alexis, and mauy others known
to honor and fume, all of whom spoke
in the highest terms of his noble
spirit, courage and great powers of en
durance. The great scout, buffalo
hunter, aud Indian trailer and tighter
has well earned the inede of praise
which has been bestowed upon him in
the East and West- We commend
his biography as a graphic and faith
ful delineation of frontier life, and of
the part played by the. most famous
scout on the Western plains. The
book is nicely bound, printed on good
paper, and will be a valuable acqui
sition to any general library.

things come to our niiud which we
would not like to recommend him to
do, viz: staying away from Boga run
and keeping oft of Boon's mountain
more than one week ab a time. Of
course, as he practices medicine, we
can hardly expect him to walk in the

Letter from Mr. Ames.
Sr. Mary's. Pa.. Oct. 15th, 1S79.
Gkntlemen : I have, after much
hesitation and reluctance, concluded
to consent to the use of my name as a
People's candidate for District Attor
ney. In so doing, X totally disregard
my own feelings, and yield to a solici
tation far in excess of anything I had
ever expected to receive, and cannot
think that it is because of any worth
or merit in me, but a desire to take
advantage of my opponent's unfortu
nate position, that certain rights of the
people may be maintained. In allow
ing the use of my name, I must ask
that it be entirely shorn of party, and
understood that I am purely a People's
candidate. Hard, discreet work must
be done, and let me ask that the effort
may be dignified, and that no low
means whatever be used for success.
If you win, let the victory be honor
able; if defeated, let the defeat leave
no sting of conscience. Should our
opponents see fit to inaugurate an
undignified canvass, let the contrast
between them and us be Increased by
our dignified deportment. Hoping
that you have well considered the
task undertaken, and that you may
never regret it, I am yours,
W. W. Amks.

tides iu the Materia Medlea for the
treatment of certain diseases, among
which are chiefly those affecting the
urinary, digestive, and circulatory
organs. The difficulty that was long
experienced iu obtaining a preparation
of this valuable drug that Could always
be rel'ed u 11011 for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
introduction! of Helm hold's Extract of
Buchu, which for the last quarter of a
bentury has been extensively used
both by physicians and iu house aud
family practice, and with very gratify
iug success. This medicine, like
every other valuable thing, has been
extensively imitated, and those who
have use for it will do well to see that
they obtain the genuine "Helmbold
Buchu," the only pure, and reliable
preparation. -
