Men and boys wanting fall and winter clothing, bats and fancy neck weal of the latest styles and at lowest prices, should not fail to read the new advertisement, in this week's Hild, of Thomas, Karr Jt Ogllvie, known as the "Clothing Hustlers" of Johns town. They are now located at 251 and 253 Main street, in one of the handsomest busi ness rooms in that city. Mr. Thomas is well known to many people of onr county, who know his word to be as good as a bond. Tbe attention of Somerset county shop pers ia directed to the change in John Hen derson's advertisement in another column. Mr. Henderson is Johnstown's most popular furniture dealer, and will save Somerset county customers many times the railroad fare to and from that plafe. Call and ex amine his immense stock whether you wish to purchase or not. He will pay all charges of shipping to any point in Somerset county oo purchases exceeding ten dollars. Tbe special attention of our readers is call ed to the advertisement of Weldin 4 Whita ker, who tare opened at Johnstown one of the finest Hardware stores in western Penn sylvania. They occupy one of tbe large and beautiful rooms in the Hannan block, on Franklin street, nearly opposite tbe postoffice. Their rock is entirely new. and comprises all tbe articles nsnally tmnd in a first class Hardware store, and also, embraces all the latest patented tools and machinery for car pentering and cabinet work. A correspondent writes from Rockwooa that the subordinate officials of the Somer set A Cambria Railroad report that the past week was the greatest in the history of the road, so far as freight traffic was concerned. The daily average cf cars hauled from Rock wood was long loads, and on three days during the week 1U solid loads were moved each day from Ro kwood to Johns town inside of twelve hours, making 22S l.jls inside of twenty -four hours up a grade averaging et 9 feet per mile. The total for the week ran np to Ct load ed cars for Johnstown in eighty four hoars, or an average of more than seven loaded cars an hour constantly arriving in the yards; at the same time empty cars from Johnstown, in addition to the loads and empties out bound, made double quantity of cars haa dled at Rock wood. Joseph and DiviJ Nicely, tbe convicted murderers cf Hsjrman l.mberger, were brought back to Somerset and placed ia cells in the new jail, Saturday afternoon. Sheriff McMillen and Constable LeRoy Scott went over to Indiana on tbe early train on Satur day morning and brought the murderers to Johnstown, where they were joined by Pep nties Milt. McMillen and F. S. Canningham, who accompanied them to Somerset. Tbe party had to lay over some three hours in Johnstown, and the news that the famous, or rather infamous, prisoners were there soon spread throughout the city, a-d an immense crowd at once congregated around the l cku? where they were confin ed. When the party siarted lor the B. aad O. station the crwd of people anxioos to catch a glimpse of Joe " and " Dave " was no dense that the city policemen had difficul ty in clearing a passage for them. AltboTigb Sheriff McMillen tried to keep secret tbe time of the return of the Nicelys. tbe matter leaied fxit. and when they ar rived here on tbe 3 31 train they were greet ed by a large crowd at the RAO. station, and a much larger one when they reached the jikil- Tby both looked well and spoke bopetul y of tbeir appeal for a re-hearing of sl eir case bef.re tbe Pari ki Bjard. Tbe? expressed pleasure at retting back to Somerset, and complained of the bad vend ition of tbe Indiana ronn'y jail. The Pard.. Btrd bvs granted anoti-r eofittcnancs in tbeir case, and it will not b argued bef.re them until their meeting In November. How much longer this (an-.ral attempt to evade tbe law and cheat justice 0f ju dues is to be kept np. can only be conjectured. It Will b Senator CritchfiaiJ. Fran the Bedford Inquirer. The Senatorial conference reconvened oo Tuesday evening, at the Hotel Arlington, in Bedford. A abort Sesaion was held, when tbe Conference adjocrned on til Wednesday morning. At tbe Wednesday morning sess ion each candidate received the votes of bis own conferees. After several ineffectual bal lots the Conference adjourno t until 3 o'clock p. m. At the afternoon session, on the sec ond ballot, the Fultoc county Conferees voted for 5. B- Crilchfieid, of Somerset coan ty, thereby making bis nomination. While tbe Inquirer bad fondly hoped that Bedford county's choice would be the nom inee, it yields to the inevitable, recogniilng that but one of the three could be success ful. JC. B. Critch field, tbe nominee of the party for State Senate, is a courteous gentleman of forceful character and answerving integrity, and will make a strong and useful senator. The Republicans of the coanty can support him cheerfully, with the full assurance that be will be an able and efficient representa tive in the opper house of the State Legisla ture. He was born in Middleereek township, Somerset county. Pa., Jaly 20, 1S33, and hence is nov in the fifty-third year of bis sge. He was brought up to tbe occupation of a farmer, in which be was engaged at tbe beginning of ths late civil war. In 112 bs left the farm and entered the army, where he served, first In ths one hundred and seventy-first, one of tbe nine months' regiments, and afterward in the Twenty-eigbth Penn sylvania Volunteers, until the close ef the wsr. The following winter be tsught one of the public schools of his own county, which bad been his occupation during the winter months prior to 'the war. In May, lsC8, he was elected county superintendent of public schools which position be held until '69 when be returned to the farm. In be was elected prothonoUry of Somerset county, and since the close of bis term has devoted his attention exclusively to his occupation as a farmer. He cast bis first vote for Pres ident Lincoln in 1, aud from that time to tbe present bas been an active worker in tbe Republican party. How Ttiey Did It. If any of our readers are inclined to doubt whether newspaper advertising cart be made to pay we would point to the success achiev ed by the manufacturers of tbe strong 5-A Horse Blankets. A few years ago many horse blanket man ufacturers reduced the quality of their goods to such an extent that it was almost impos sible for a hone owner to tell when he bought a horse blanket whether it was strong or not. Many of our readers bave doubtless, in the past, purchased such blank ets sod found to tbeir great disgust that they would wear out io a f--w weeks. The 5-A Horse Blanket rsir,iificturri be lieved that people did not want to I e fooled, and that owners of hcrses would buy strung horse blankets if they knew how to tell the difference between a strong blanket and a weak one. Many years sgo they decided to make their horse blankets unusually strong and give them tbe name 3 A Horse Blankets so that when they advertise.1 these goods in the newspaper owners of borsrs would know what to ask for. They sew the SA trade mark oo the intide of each blanket, and no blanket is genuine without this trade mark. The 5 A trade mark is a guar antee that the bone blanket is strong snd will stand rouh usage. Tl.e manufacturers of 5 A Horse Btanktta bave found honesty to be tbe best policy. Their blankets are known over the entire C ni ted States as well as they are known to our own readers, for they are advertised everywhere. Newspaper advertising, snd the stand they bave taken to make horse blankets that will wear well, have made the manufacturers of 3-A Horse Blankets tbe largest makers of these goods la the world. They own their own niilla, have the very latest labor saving machinery, and make their blanketa from the raw stock to tbe finished state aud at prices to suit every body. . Brothers valley Items. Henry Gumbert, has his new bouse on the Pen rod farm about ready for occupancy. The sale at Geo. J. Sch rock's last Saturday, was not attend aa largely as w as anticirswd and the personal property sold fetched prices a little below fair. Valentine and Joseph Sch rock from Gosh en, Indiana, and Jacob Yoler, from Kansas, are visiting friends and relatives at present in this section. D. J. Brubaker aad Frank Forney two prospective, middle aged widowers took in tbe Pittsburgh Ei position last week. That tbey enjoyed themselves hugely, ia expres sing it mildly. Wm. Powell, the Berlin Auctioneer, is con fined to his room with sickness. Noah Keefrr from Shanksville, Lad to fill his place at tue sale last Saturday. Peter Suder and Casper E-ken, the princi pal cattle buyers of this section, returned home last week, from Shippensburg. Thia was their last trip for this season, and they report great enthusiasm for Delamater ail along the line. The Sandy-Hollow literary society is again reorganized for the school term. The fol lowing officers were elected for the first term : Wm. Blough, Piesident ; E S. For ney. Vice President; Emma Knepper, Sec retary; E. L. Knepper, Treasurer; Gretta K immel, Editress. The" society meets every Thursday evening. The schools of the township, are well at tended for so early in the term The teach ers I think, all give good satisfaction. Their wages are low compared with other dist ricts, but this does not swerve them from the path of du'y. Tbe friends of N. B. Critch field, which are numerous in this section, were pleased to learn of his nomination in tbe district. Now let the Congressional conferees nominate Hon. Ed. Scull with haste so we may close np our ranks at once, and march rough shod over the bulwarks of the enemy on to victory. The Grangers, of Somerset county, will certainly give the republican ticket their united support on Nov. 4th, from the fact that seven of the candidates on the ticket are Grangers, and from the further fact that the republican platform is tbe only one that promises to give the farmer equal taxation with corporations.

The trmers of Penneylvania bave a deep interest in every election, Stale and National and tbe present is not lea important to them than others which bave preceded it. A delegation to Congress is to be chosen, and those who have rea-'hed the conviction that the principles and policy of the Repub lican party are bent promotive of the inter ests of the whole country will see to it that under no consideration will ttey neglect to vote for the party candidates. It was by standing up for these candidates two years ago that we have tbe McKinley tariff act to day instead of the Mills bill. Tbe Republi can party kept tbe pledges it mad to the people, giving greater measures of protection to the wool producer, the farmer and ths fruit-grower, aa well aa tbe manufacturer, and at tbe tame time greatly reducing tbe aggregate revenues raised by the tariff. All the revenue needed in support of the Gov ernment can be raised on articles which we consume, but which are not produced in the country, and thia is tbe avowed policy of (bit Democratic party a tariff for reveoueonly, and open competition with foreign manu facturers in such articles as we ran and do produce. Afterano-t desperate and pro longed struggle the Republican party bas enibcditd its policy in the form of Isw, snd no one who wishes to sustain that policy should under any circumstances vote for the candidates of tbe Democratic party. Now as to State politics. Tbe Republicans have nominated a ti ket composed of able, high-minded and reputable gentlemen, who are at all points in full touch and sympathy with tbe principlesof the party. They stand upon a platform which, amonsj other things, pledges the party to lighten tbe hardest of taxation which presses unequally npoa the agricultural interests of the State In other words to equalize taxation as far as possible. Tbe details will devolve upon the next Leg islature, and this fact alone should impress upon every farmer tbe necessity of keeping the whole executive and legislative power iq Republican hands. Tbe history of the finances of Pennsylvania for tbe last thirty years furnishes abundant evidence of the wisdom of the Republican policy. More than one half of tbe entire revenues of the Commonwealth are derived from taxes on corporations, which are not only widely diffused, but coat nothing for collection, be sides lading on those best able to bear them It was not until the Republican party came into powtr that taxes on eorporotioos began to be laid, and soon became tbe most im portant resource of iheStat. It was the adoption of this policy that enabled Re publican Legislature in ISoT to entirely re lease real estate from taxation for State purposes, and to gradually reduce the large indebtedness until it now reaches the merely nominal figure of fjo.Oou.'M), or little more thoo one-third the indebtedness of the city of Pittsburgh. One thing the farmers can rely upon with absolute certainty : tbe steadfast adherence of the Republican party to be fiscal policy which has marked its control of State alairs since lis. To this end it is necessary to elect a Republican Governor and a Republi can Legislature. That the pledges made to ghten the burdens upon the farming inter ests will be redeemed there can oe no uouot. The farmers, who are noted for their hard common-sense, their fidelity to principle, and their love of fair play, will not be in fluenced by slander, vituperation and mud slinging, but will stand up in defense of the party which bas done so much for them in the past and is capable of guarding their in terests in the future. Republican Meetings. The friends of Dels mater and Protection held a number of meetings at different points in the county last week. The meetings were all well attended, a sure indication that tbe voters of the county are fully alive to the great importance of the present campaign.

Dear Sia As ex Governor Pattison haa been aiding and abetting campaign of per sonal slander and abuse against the head of the Republican State ticket, and other Re publican leaders of the State, and baa refused to conduct tbe campaign upon the grave National and State issues involved, yoa will please decline the invitation for joint de bate. As Mr. Pattison recognises no issues, it would be useless to meet him upon topics which the Republican candidates discuss, and which he ignores.
