Vlrtorj.
With the opening of the campaign in
iVrinnyhania Republicans are proud
of the fact that they can meet their
Democratic opponents squarely upon
every issue, state and national, and
they have nothing to be ashuamed of,
to ignore or explain.
With the nomination of such ex
cellent candidates on the.state ticket
as E Ft Hardenbergh for auditor gen
eral and G&lnsha A. Grow and Robert
H. Foerderer for congressmen-at-largo
they will march to victory confident
that the men will uphold the party
standard to the satisfaction of the
•voters o f t fi • • state and to their personal
credit and honor
The campaign In Pennsylvania will
tie made upon state as well as national
issues, and that the voters may thor
oughly appreciate the attitude of the
Republican party, herewith is given
the platform adopted at the Republican
State convention which was held at
Harri«!iiirg and which placed the above
ticket in the field.
STATE ISSUES FAIRLY MET.
I his is the platform adopted by the
Republican si ale convention held at
H;irrisburg April 25, 1900:
'l'" lb of Pennsylvania, by
'•>' '■ : •• ' i' i'i convention as
"f'-b • \ : , atulations to
i"t■ 1 i'-.i • - throughout
' 1 n; .iii ■ i, * ■ 112 tl'< prosperous
•' existing and the
r»osß eninved liv
| the American people under the admin
j istration of President McKinley. All
j these conditions have resulted from
j four years of Republican rule in our
national affairs. We therefore reaf
firm the doctrines enunciated in the
last Republican national platform and
asain congratulate the people upon the
fciithiul fulfillment of all the pledges
therein contained.
: The business, economic and social
conditions prevailing in the country
at th:> dose of rhe Cleveland adminis
tration wci v deplorable. Industry was
paralyzed; trade and commerce lan
guished; business was unsettled; mon
etary values were uncertain and the
public treasury was depleted. All
these conditions are now changed. All
1 branches of industry are now active
and less than one per cent of our popu
lation is unemployed. Our export trade
is larger than ever known in our his
tory; business is active and remunera
| tive; monetary values are permanently
settled, and in the public treasury a
large surplus replaces the deficit of the
last administration. These splendid
conditions are largely due to the wise
and patriotic administration of the
president. We firmly support and fully
indorse his administration, and again
record the wish of the Republicans of
Pennsylvania that, lie be renominated
to lead our hosts to victory at the No
vember election, and to this end we in
struct thr d legates this day elected to
favor his candidacy in the national con
vention.
For the national defense, for the re
enforeement of the navv, for the en
largement of our foreign markets, for
the employment of American workmen
In the mines, forests, farms, mills, fac
tories and shipyards, we demand the
immediate enactment of legislation
similar to that favorably reported to
each branch of congress, so that Amer
ican built, American owned and Amer
ican manned ships may regain the car
rying of our foreign commerce.
We congratulate the whole country
upon the fact that the money question
no longer disturbs our business condi
tions. On account of the wise policy
adopted by a Republican president and
a Republican congress the gold stand
ard is now accepted as the monetary
unit of value. This places our busi
ness transactions on a stable basis and
will encourage capital to seek invest
ment and labor to find employment.

Sacramento, Cal., Sept. 3. —The dead
bodies of William Taylor and Hansen
Rasmussen were found yesterday on
adjoining ranches near Folsom. Both
men had been shot to death. Taylor
was an elderly man, employed to care
for the ranch of Prazzo brothers, who
have taken their stock to the moun

the place of William Carpenter, a mile
distant. He was also alone on the
ranch. Each man had been killed in
his employer's house, and neither had
been seen since last Thursday. There
is not the slightest clew.

A MEASURE OF MERIT.
Danville Citizens Should Weigh Well
This Evidence.
Proof of merit lies in the evidence.
Convincing evidence in Danville
Is not the testimony of strangers;
But the endorsement of Danville people,
That's the kind of proof given here.
The statement of a Danville citizen.
Mr. Levi Alleger, of 102 North Spruce
street, says:—" I had much lameness in
my back, right over my hips and an
ever lasting aching over the kidneys.
It hung right to me, and stooping or
lifting anything caused sharp pains to
pass through me. I had pains between
my shoulders and ruin ing down my
spine, which unfitted me for any work.
I could not sleep well night* and was
tired all the time, especially first thing
in the morning. I read about Doan's
Kidney Pills curing others of this
trouble and I got t hem and after taking
them I felt all right. They are the
only thing which ever did me any per
nianent good.''

The Watchword of Women.
Modesty is woman's watchword.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of modesty, frightens her. For this
reason many a woman permits diseases
of the delicate womanly organs to In
come aggravated because she cannot
bring herself to submit to the ordeal of
unpleasant questionings, offensive ex
aminations, and obnoxious local treat
ments, which some physicians find
necessary. Doubtless thousands of the
women who have taken advantage of
Dr. Pierce's offer of free consultation
by letter, have been led to do so by the
escape thus offered from a treatment
repugnant to modesty. Any sick wo
man may write to Dr. Pierce, Buffalo,
N. Y., in perfect confidence; all letters
being treated as strictly private and
sacredly confidential, and all answer
being sent in plain envelopes with no
advertising or other printing upon them.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
been long hailed as "a God-send to wo
man." It makes weak women strong
and sick women well. "Favorite Pre
scription" coutains no alcohol, neither
opium, cocaine or other narcotic.

What Shall We Do.
A serious and dangerous disease pre
vails in this country, daugerous because
so deceptive. If, comes oil so slowly yet
surely that it is often firmly seated bt
fore we are aware of it.
The name of this disease which may
be divided into three distinct stages is.
First. Kidney trouble, indicated by pain
in the hack, rheumatism, lumbago, fre
quent d sire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine be
ing copious or scant with stionjf odor.
If allowed to advance, this reaches th"
Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water p.i»-
age, increasing desire to urinate, with
scalding sensation in passing.small quan
tities being passed with difficulty, some
times necessary to draw it with instru
ments. If uric acid or travel has form
ed, it will prove dangerous if neglected.
The Third stage is liright's Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that Dr.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy fam
ous for its marvelous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as Dr. Kil
mer's Swamp-Hoot.
It is sold by all druggists.

KeeUor May Succeed Power*.
Harrisburg, Sept. s.—Governor Stone
will next week take up the matter of
filling the vacancy on the supreme
bench and in the office of commission

good show for the place of the late
Col. Thomas J. Powers as head of the
banking department.
Learn Osteopathy,
The system is practically new and is
destined soon to outstrip medicine in the
treatment of all human diseases. It is
a scientific massacre of the nerves and
muscles of the body so as to stimulate
and strengthen them and promote the
healthy circulation of blood. Four
valuable books telling all about it mail
ed free for the asking by the Atlantic
School of Osteopathy, 17 Ross St.,

the proprietors also conduct an (tsteo

American* Did \o Looting;.
Washington. Sept. I.—Officials of the
war department are positive that the
soldiers of (Jen. Chaffee's army took
no part in the extensive looting which
followed the fall of the Chinese city
of Tien Tsin. Peremptory orders were
issued to military officers to exert ev
ery effort to prevent looting and to
severely punish disobedience of such
orders, and from reports which have
come to the department the officials are
confirmed in the opinion that our men
refrained from disregarding the orders
of their superiors. They think that
the Chinese themselves are responsible
for much of the pillaging.

I're*l«l«Mit J. Hampton Moore Issue*.
IIIH Filial Call For the Grent Gath
erii.K at I'llilu.lelphia on the 17th
llisluut.
i Special Correspondence. I
Harrisburg, Sept. 4. —President J.
Hampton Moore, of the State League
of Republican clubs, has issued his
final call for the state convention of
the league, which will open in Phila
delphia cn the 17th inst. and continue
the following day.
In his address to his fellow Repub
licans President Moore says:
"The Pennsylvania State League of
Republican clubs, co-operating with
the national executive committee, will
have the honor of firing the first gun
for McKinley and Roosevelt at the con
vention to be held in Philadelphia
I Sept. 17 and 18.
"The occasion will be one of great in
terest, and will afford the Republican
clubmen of tho state a splendid oppor
tunity of demonstrating their useful
ness in a political campaign.
"At no time in its history has the
assistance of the strong fighting force
of the State League been more welcome
than in the great struggle which is
now pending. There is need for the
fire and enthusiasm of energetic
leaguers in every city and hamlet of
the state and nation." When the peo
ple are prosperous and contented they
are apt to forget the dangers that be
set them. They forget sometimes to
'lock the stable door until the horse
is stolen.' In this campaign our ma'
trial strength may prove our political
weakness. Strange as it may seem,
the greatest menace arises not alone
from the confident feeling that the
popularity of our candidates will carry
the elections, but from the more sig
nificant and extraordinary sentiment
that because the people are prosperous
there should be none to want a change.
PROSPERITY EVERYWHERE.
"The average American voter who
was dissatisfied and unhappy under
Democratic rule is now contented and
prosperous; the toilers of the land who
were idle under the Democratic re
gime are now employed; the great
army of business and workingmen
voters who demanded a change from
retrogression to progress, and who, for
four years, have been reaping the
benefits of wise Republican legislation,
are slow to believe that another and
powerful army is marching steadily on
ward to overthrow the good that has
been done and to seize the helm of
government. They are slow to believe
that the candidates of the Republican
party, who stand for all that has been
prosperous and successful in our na
tional development, and for all that
has been valorous and heroic in our
manhood, should be in danger of re
pudiation.
"They have not yet come to realize
that the restless army of Democracy,
of Populism and of demoralization has
stealthily advanced, gathering, here
and there, the selfish and discontented,
combining all for the grand attack in
November upon the honor, integrity
and prosperity of the country. They
have not yet come to realize that the
standard hearers of Republicanism
stand violently assailed by the Boxer
horde of the New World, with all its
lack of reason and responsibility.
FOR THE WHOLE TICKET.
"Tn this crisis the duty of the volun
teer forces of the State League is plain.
The men who man the polls should be
up and doing. The people should be
aroused to the importance of prompt
and energetic action. They should be
warned that defeat in the nation would
be more disastrous to Pennsylvania
than to any other state. They should ,
be told of the necessity of carrying the ;
state and electing our own standard 1
bearers, E. B. Hardenbergh, auditor
general. Robert H. Foerderer and Ga- :
lusha A. Grow, congressmen-at-large, i
by tremendous majorities. They should
be told of the warnings of both nation
al and state chairmen against apathy,
fancied security and overconfidence;
they should be told of the urgent ef
forts of the congressional committee at
Washington to prevent the return of a
majority of Democratic and Populistic j
members to hamper and harass a pros
perity administration.
"They should be told that the leader '
of the opposition In this campaign has
adopted a flank movement, which is
pleasing to the anti-progressites of the J
east on the one side and to the silver- ;
ites of the west on the other. They j
should be told he fs fortifying his cen- j
ter by the organization of clubs —clubs
on the hilltops, clubs in the valley, j
clubs everywhere—to catch the young !
and thoughtless voters and to under
mine the Republican strongholds.
"These are among the reasons the
Republican State League is welcomed
into this contest. There is a fight to
be fought which demands the energy
and the enthusiasm of new recruits. It
demands the organization of clubs in
every county and township of the state.
Old clubs are urged to help the new
tines; to encourage'young men in the
work of organization and to stimulate
efforts in untried localities. They are j
urged to see that Democracy and Popu
lism shall not triumph through Repub
lican default.
"Let the representation at the State (
League convention be large and con- ;
vincing; let none be turned away who 1
care to come. Every club qualifying [
for membership is entitled to three |
delegates and three alternates."
A special consideration to those who
desire to attend the convention is the
matter of transportation. A special
rate of one fare for the round trip from
nil points in Pennsylvania, good going
from Sept. lf> to 17. returning, to Sept.
22, inclusive, has been secured. To oh- i
tain this reduced rate it will be neces- |
sary only to mention the Republican
State League convention at the ticket
ollice where purchase is made.
Pern May Exclude Chinese.
Lima, Sept. 3.—The Peruvian senate
! yesterday had under consideration a
j proposal for preventing Chinese im
j migration, in view of a possible exodus
j from China as a result of the present
I disturbances.

placed in the food i.s a mystery.
