BERRY. Gubernatorial Candidate BERRY, of tho mongrel FLINN-VAN VALK ENBURG GANG-BRYAN-Democ-racy ticket, is making speeches throughout tho state and continuing to set up the false pretense that has characterized the Keystone party since its inception. He asserts again and again tho same old things that have been fully displayed In the vain hopo that he can fool tho voters into giving him and his colleagues their suffrages. Ho opened his campaign in To wanda, at a meeting which ROBERT EDMISTON, campaign manager for the BRYAN-Democratic nominee for Congress, GEORGE W. KIPP, call ed to order. Just previous to the meeting 25 selected delegates had held a "con vention" and Indorsed the BRYAN Democrat KIPP for Congress. In the course of his speech BERRY said that public sentiment through out the state had been for his nom ination at the Allentown convention, although the undisputed fact is that the vast majority of the delegates had gone there to nominate CYRUS LA RUE MUNSON, for whom there was genuine public sentiment, and despite the fact that It. Is not de nied that there were more GRIM delegates In that convention than there were BERRY delegates. BERRY also repeated his absurd misstatement that PENROSE con trolled the nomination of GRIM and the withdrawal of MUNSON, when It Is now fully known that MUNSON declined to run because of the very fact that he expected BERRY', defeated for tho nomination, to run Independently and thus draw upon the Democratic voters needed for his election, and because his physician told him his health would not per mit him to undergo the stress and strain of a campaign. What excuse is there for BERRY"S repeating these silly lies which were brought Into being at the time the FLINN-VAN VALKENBURG gang of political pirates and tho BRY'AM Democracy bolters were trying to Btlr up excitement In order to ex cuse tho bringing Into existence of tho mongrel Keystone party? The voters of Pennsylvania are not so stupid as to be fooled by such downright lies, especially when they are so silly. It Is well to note, too, that the Democratic Philadelphia Record now asserts that BERRY was de feated for tho nomination by tho Allentown convention, oven after GUFFEY was ready to turn in for him when MUNSON had withdrawn "on account of his (BERRY'S) fi nancial transactions with Col. GUF FEY' and tho Harrlsburg Trust com pany, while filling the ofllco of state treasurer." And this Is the kind of man who goes before the peoplo of Pennsyl vania on a "holier-than-thou" plat form, trying to get tho peoplo to wreck tho Republican party and send BRY'AN Democrats to Congress and FLINN-VAN VALKENBURG men to tho legislature! GINGERSNAPS. A now airship record Is broken about every day. So Is an airship! Just because tho early bird catches tho worm does not provo tho early riser cuts tho most grass. In fact, there are early risers whoso grass Is as Innocent of a slcklo In tho hands of Its owner as Undo Joo Cannon Is known to be of a six-word sentence containing less than three cuss words. Keep cool nntl keep your temper about It for Just n fow dnys more. The September llncstorm Is almost at your door. Did you ever stop to think how surpassingly practical Judgo Wilson was when he said the man who Is independently rich is not halt so closo to a home on Easy street as the man who has reached tho vantago ground of tho Independently poor? There Is some physical frankness as well as soma mental class to tho Honcsdale citizen a fine young pro fessional man with a growing green roll who ndmtts his horso Is not afraid of buzz wagons though tho horse's owner Is scared to death when he sees ono looming in tho road ahead. Baltimore is having an undertak ers' war. Baltimore people who In tend to cat ice cream cones should do It now and get the benefit of cheap funerals. The competition of Oriole undertakers has cut the prico to IG7.50 credit, or ?G2.60 cash. Tho cost of dying is not going up in Senator "Isy" Raynor's city. Carbondalo played clean ball Sun day at tho lake and that game will be a pleasant memory to Honcsdale, not only because the Maple City boys landed tho determining fight of the series but also on account of the fact that tho players from over ho Mooslcs conducted themselves like gentlemen. Congratulations! A Pottsvllle man was fatally kick ed because ho humanely endeavored to brush flies from the hind legs of a mule. Sometimes It seems to be almost useless to be kind to a mule. Wo are waiting, softly waiting, for some Twentieth century Socrates to go to Heaven via tho kerosene-oll-and-a-match route. Such cases have been and will be. MtMMMtMMMlfftMHtt KEYSTONE PRESS, t Reports from the department of agriculture and elsewhere indicate that tho only real failure of the year Is the Berry crop. Help! Help! Harrlsburg Telegraph. No more dreadful fate can over take a town than that which appears to have practically wiped out several small cities in Idaho and western Montana. Tho number of dead re ported is comparatively small, but hundreds of those who escaped from the burning towns with their lives, saved nothing else. Their distressful situation will awaken wide-spread sympathy. Harrlsburg Patriot. The Wayne Independent In com mentlng on some recent cases where boys have been taken before a justice and fined large sums for catching a kind of fish they did not know was protected by law, says It was the general opinion tho magistrate should have let them off for the first offense with a reprimand. There are times, adds the Independent, when the of fence causes less public aversion than tho punishment. Wo think tho Honcsdale contemporary right In its deductions. The trend of the times is to make the laws a little more llexlble, as Is shown by the new state law now which makes sentences of an indeterminate nature. Many a boy has, perhaps, gone wrong for want of discipline, and it is probably just as true that many another lad has been made reckless by over-disci pllne. Nothing wrecks a good dis position quicker than punishment which the victim believes is unde served. Forest City News. GOODNIGHT TO MR. KIPP! Old Dyed-in-tlic-Wool Democratic Argus Can't Stomach Him. Wayno county Republicans have noticed with much satisfaction that tho Towanda Argus has concluded not to support Georgo W. Kipp, Democratic-Keystone candidate for Congress in the Fourteenth district. Of this defection the Towanda Reporter-Journal says: "Tho ancient Argus, after a long period of hesitation and doubt, has made up Us mind. This old and honored mouthpiece of true Demo cracy in this district will not follow after strange gods In this political scrap, but will support Grim, tho Democratic candidate for governor, and will opposo Klpp, tho Congres sional candldato on tho Keystone and Democratic tickets. Whether it will actually champion tho cause of Mr. Pratt, tho Republican coil' gresslonal candidate, wo aro not in formed. Wo prcsumo not, but tho Indirect effect of Its course will bo to strengthen tho Republican forces In deciding not to lino up with tho Berry crowd tho editor of our Dem ocratlc contemporary has dono wlse ly. It would havo been bad policy for this old exponent of Jeffcrsonlan principles to cast its lot with tho small band of renegade Democrats (tho leader of whom Is a sorehead and running on tho Keystono ticket because ho couldn't capture tho Dem ocratlc nomination) who are trying to secure control of tho state gov ernmcnt. "Candldato Klpp will miss tho Argus' support. Wo understand tho Argus will oppose him on tho ground that ho Is no longer a Democrat, and that ho is trying to break down tho Democratic party In tho state. What Mr. Klpp now considers himself to bo as regards party ainiiatlons we do not konw. It doesn't matter much. Judged by the representations of his clnckers when appealing to tho peo ple for votes, he has for soveral years been almost everything and anything. But notwithstanding tho Argus has ceased to bellovo It, Mr. Klpp Is a Democrat first, last and all tho time and will work and vote with the Democrats If fortunate enough to sccuro another seat In Con gress. And that Is the thing for Re publicans who aro asked to voto for him to remember." PECKS HAVE A REUNION. Almost n Hundred of Tlieut Get To gether nt Unlondnlc. UNIONDALE, Aug. 30.

Tho front elevation of tho pro posed now Irving Cliff hotel, plans by Davey & Crowther of Scranton, has this week attracted considerable attention In tho window of O. T. Chnmbers's drugstore. Not much information is given out by W. H. Dimmlck and Chester A. Garratt, the two men most Interested In en gineering tho project, but It Is known tho hotel, if built, will bo 200 feet long and three stories high, all of native stone, and will con tain 142 rooms. Mr. Garratt told tho newspaper men that they could say tho Irving Cliff hotel Is coming. Ho added that the cornerstone would not bo laid Labor day, though at flrst It was hoped the laying might take placo then. Tho detnlled plans fill I ono large tube and are safely lodged ! In his safe. Tho plans, according to men that havo seen them, are a j work of art and point to tho possl i blllty of a very handsome building.

Fine Progress llciiig Made On Far view Asylum Now. FARVIEW, Aug. 30. Work on tho mammoth new state hosnital for tho criminal Insane at Farvlew has so far progressed that members of tho commission that is sunervlslnc Its construction, following an in spection made Friday and Saturday, announced that by December 1, two wards of the new Institution, ca pable of accommodating 123 malo patients, will bo ready, i Whether the state will avail Itself of tho opportunity of occupying a portion of tho hospital at that time is a question. If It Is decided to transfer patients there from other hospitals scattered throughout the state, It will be necessary to provide a temporary heating plant and light ing system. Tho sections of the hospital near lng completion are known as wards D and G, each with accommodation for 62 men. Tho loggia connecting the two is also about finished. The commission is hopeful of securing sufficient lunds from tho next legis lature to permit its hurrying along th'o final completion of the hospital. Additional wards for male patients are to be erected, also tho wards for women, the power house, heating plant and several minor structures. Work on tho administration build ing will be deferred until last. Members of the commission who Inspected the work Friday and Sat urday included tho chairman, Hon. Henry F. Walton of Philadelphia; Hon. Ralph Little of Montrose, and County Controller Edward A. Jones of Scranton. Accompanying the party was Federal Judgo Holland of Philadelphia, who Is very much In terested In tho work. Dr. Thomas Fltzsiminons is on the ground su pervising tho construction of the hospital. Tho contractor is the Georgo A. Glenn company of Phila delphia. Tho new Institution when completed will cost the stato sever al millions. It will accommodate over 1,000 patients.

Stick To tho Farm In Good Old Chicken Timo! Tho Columbus, (O.) Journal gives this additional reason for sticking to tho farm: "Hero comes a spring chicken into tho household. It is a dellcato llttlo carcass, and makes a flno meal for two; no more, no less. Spread out ready to fry, It Is not as largo as your two hands; no larger than ono, If you're quite a man. It costs 65 cents. Wo havo seen three just such fowl sell for 50 cents; and that, too, In tho good .old Inflation days of '05 and '75, when rag money grew on bushes like blackberries, so to speak. But Just think, a llttlo pul let that doesn't spraddle out bigger than a bullfrog when dressed, sell ing for G5 cents! Well, that Is what we may expect when everybody rushes to tho city to eat chicken and fow stay back on tho farm to raise them. If this tiling keeps up, only tho malefactors of great wealth will think of eating spring chicken." Terrible Croup. My little boy, who Is four years old, has suffered a lot with croup. On several occasions we thought ho was gone. After trying all the old-timo reme dies and most of the new, I enme homo one night at midnight, and ray wlfo said, "The boy has tho croup again suppose you get a bot tle of Hyomcl." "Moro junk," I saiu, -out wo win circulato our money so they all will get some." I hastened to an all night drug store, brought It home. In five minutes he was breathing easier. In fifteen minutes be was sound asleep. It broke tho croup so quickly It scared mo. Anyone wishing to cure tho croup of a child I hopo will give Hyomel a trial. Wishing you tho best of success, which you surely deserve, I remain, Jos. E. Clark, 204 Gth St. S. E Washington, D. C, Oct. 7, 1909.
