When the Poor Man Will Be Bene-
fitted.
From the Augusta (Ga.,) Herald.
Where does the plain man come in? We
are talking about the fellow who works for
his living—who sells the coin of his brain
or the sweat of his face for food, for rai-
ment, for shelter. Where does he come in?
What boots it to him if the president of
the United States kills an octopus every
every time the olock strikes, if the cost of
living be not reduced to him? ‘What's
Hecuba to him, or he to Hecuba?"’
Here is the Pennsylvania railroad bauled
Davis.—Erastus A. Davie died at his
home in Philipsurg, at five o’clock Monday
morning, of cramp. He went to bed Sun-
day night in good health. Monday morn-
ing be awoke with terrible pains from
cramp, went to the telephone to call the
doctor and while gesting into bis bed
again suddenly expired.
Deceased was seveoty-three years of age
and was a native of Massachusetts. He lo-
cated in Philipsburg in 1863 and for some
years was engaged in the lombering busi
pess. Later he became an electrician and
worked at that business until recently
when be became she collector for the Hunt.
ingdon and Clearfield telephone company.
He was a member of the Masonio fraterni-
ty, a trustee in the Methodist Episcopal
church and a man of excellent moral worth.
Surviving him are his wife and three
sons, C. H., of Philipsburg; N. N., of
Erie, and W. W., of Meadville; also one
sister, Mrs. G. E. French, of LaSalle, N.
Y. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon.

ByRoN.—Mrs. Jotn Byron died at ber
home :t Pleasant Hill, Pailipsburg, at 6:30
o'clock on Tuesday evening. She bad been
io ill he.lth the pass two years and seven
weeks ago was compelled to take to her
bed, growing rapidly worse until the end.
Deceased was seventy-five years old avd
a native of Prescott, Lancashire, Eog. In
1882 she came to this country, the family
locating in Philipsburg, where they bav-
lived ever since. She is survived by her
hosba: d and eight children, as follows :
Harry, John, Joseph and William, of
Barnesboro; Thomas and James, of Philips
burg; Mrs. Elizabeth Hayes, of Colburg,

something practical, something real. Give
us results, give us relief.
Take the article of butter. There isa
t interest in this country that calle
teel! the American dairy association, or
gomething like that. This beggar came
to congress two or three years ago and got
a law passed fining every family in Ameri-
ca that consumes batter 10 cents a pound,
not for the public treasury, but for the
butter srust. It is immoral iv thas is
steals from one citizen to swell the profits
of another citizen, and it is all done in the
pame of taxation to get revenue to pay
public expense, when no revenue results
and was not intended to result.
As long as such outrage as that isin
fashion what will come to the plain peo-
ple from all this octopus chasing and trust
busting? For more than 100 yeai= this
country bas heen the most favored of the
pations—and whs? Because living—espe-
cially food products, meat aud hread—was
cheaper than elsewhere. It is not #0 now.
The conditions remain to make it so; the
laws will not permit is to be so. Every
head of a family, who pays his bill at the
corner grocery Saturday night feels the
hardship and when he boys raiment for his
family he doubly feels it. Living is
abnormally high, extortionately high,
made so by law, and not hy production
and consumption.
Let us hope that when the president
shall have ran to earth, killed or crippled
the octopus he is vow chasing, he will
make a grand charge on the tariff octopns
and chase it out of the statutes.
That is what the plain people are ioter-
ested in.

THE HosPITAL BENEFIT MIDWAY.—AS
the time drawe nearer for the holding of
the Midway in the armory, by the ladies,
for th+ benefit of the Bellefonte hospital,
the interest increases correspondingly. And
especially is such the case since the an.
nouncement of the election of a queen from
among the prettiest of Centre county's
many beautiful young ladies. If you bave
not already begun to vote for the queen
you should lose no time in doing so and
should keep it up until the last night of
the Midway, Saturday evening, August
25th. - Whale this is a great feature to at-
tract interest it is only one of the many
which will be shown during the week of
the Midway to awuse and entertain the
public. And the swall price of ten cents
admission which will be charged is asum
80 insignificant that po one will want to
stay away. Of course you will want to
take a well filled purse with you for when
you once get inside and come across that
bandsome Irish lassie, the buxom German
maiden, the petite French woman aod the
beauties of the Orient you will want to
patronize them all just to be gallant, and
you can rest assured of getting your mon-
ey’s worth twice over in the purchase you
make and the wineome amiles with which
you will nodoubtedly be rewarded. Then,
of course to relieve any tedium that might
be banging around the room some of Belle-
fonte’s best amateur performers will do
their newest stunts behiud the footlights,
while a good orchestra will be present at
all times to enliven the evenings with ap-
propriate music.
