While in Foster he was also township j treasurer for awhile, and, although township orders are usually at a dis count in Foster, it Is reported that their market value was never known to be so far below par as in 1891-92. Mr. Lewis may make a good tax collector if given a trial, but that is a matter which the voters must decide. For justice of the peace the candi- j dates are Thomas A. Buckley on the Democratic ticket and Thomas Elliott on the Republican. The former has i been elected to the position on two pre- I vious occasions by fair majorities, and j is confident of winning again. He be- j lieves that lie lias given general satis- j faction in discharging the duties of his office. Mr. Elliott is known as one of the strong men of his party, and is | working hard to obtain the largest num ber of votes. The other candidates on the Demo cratic ticket, P. n. Ilanlon, Alex. Mul liearn and John Shigo for council, Wil liam Johnson, George Schaub and Jas. ! B. Ferry for school directors, and Condy Furey for auditor, are all worthy men ' in whose hands the interests of tht tax payers will receive proper attention. Nearly all are property owners, and have more in view than the mere honor of being elected. The candidates for council are well known to the people of their wards. In the North ward Mr. ll anion is recog nized as one of the most progressive men of Birvanton, and would aid that, part of town in every legitimate manner to procure it fire protection and other necessities that it deserves. At the same time he would favor granting such improvements to the people of South Heberton as they ought to have. In I the South ward Mr. Mulhearn, with his companion, Mr. Shigo. who is a present member of council, would take proper care of the interests of that section and at the same time legislate for the welfare of all. Messrs. Johnson and Ferry are mem bers of the present school board, and their records contain nothing which they fear to be made public. The form er is serving an unexpired term, having been appointed, and is now a candidate for the two years' vacancy. The latter lias served a creditable three years' term. With Mr. Schaub they would complete a board which would be com petent to deal with the school questions which will arise next term, when the four rooms added by the recent annexa tion will come under borougii control and proper grading will be necessary. The whole forms one of the host and most perfectly balanced tickets that the voters have been asked to support for some time, and the citizens can serve their own interests best by electing every man whose name appears in the second column on the ballot.

A healthier, heartier, happier man than John J. Neill, of 3500 Furner street, Philadelphia, could not be found in a day's search. The fact that lie is still alive is a constant wonder to his friends. In the fall of 1880 he began to suffer indescribable miseries from stone in the bladder. Consulting an eminent physi cian in Philadelphia, he was told that a surgical operation was necessary. So much did he dread the result, for if un successful it meant death, that he put off the evil day as long as possible. While in this frame of mind, he heard of DR. DAVID KENNEDY'S FAVORITE REMEDY Although disheartened, on July 1, 1893, he bought a bottle of it, and with in a month had experienced beneficial re sults, and before he had finished the third bottle, the gravel was completely dissolved and his sufferings at an end. Mr. Neill feels that he owes a lasting debt of gratitude to Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Kemedy and for disorders of bladder and urinary organs, says "it will effect a cure if one be possible." Favorite Remedy is prescribed with unfailing success for rheumatism, dvs peps-iaand nerve troubles in which it lias cured many that were considered beyond the aid of medicine. All druggists, sl.
