Certificates of Nomination- In making caucus nominations for township officers, several rules should be observed. 1. No more persons can be nomi nated tin the same paper, than each voter can vote for. For instance, as no one can vote for two inspectors, but one must be named in each paper, a. Do not nominate more school directors, supervisors or poor directors than are to be elected. 3. Get the names and initials of every candidate accurately, and write them plainly, so that the printer can read them. Constables to be Elected in Every Town snip. There has been frequent inquiry of late as to whether constables are to be elected at the coming spring dec tion. The act of assembly passed Tune 26th 1805 settles the matter. It reads as follows : "That the qualified voters of every borough and township, and where a borough is divided into wards, of every ward in the Commonwealth of Penn sylvania shall, on the third Tuesday of February, 1896, and tnannually there after, vote for and elect a properly qualified person for constable in each of said districts, and a properly quali fied person for high constable in each of said boroughs, and the person so elected shall serve for three years. It matters not when constables were elected, or whether those now serving have held the office for three years, every township, and borough in the county must nominate and elect constables, who will serve for thre years from this time. There will be no war, either be tween England and the United States over the Venezuelan boundary, England with Germany over the Transvaal. In the first question. England will eventually concede all we demand. In the second there will be much mutual bluster and final settlement that will leave every thing just as it is now. Lnglan does not want to fight, Germany does not want to fight, and the United States does not want to fight, and unless something more serious hai: pens the perplexing questions will be settled with a copious flow of 111 instead of blood. The only party in the dispute that would rather fight than not is the young war lord of Germany, Emperor William II, an there are probably cool heads enoug 10 restrain mm. isut, wnue your Uncle bamuel does not wish to fight. the whole world can take notice that if he is compelled to take his coat off in the defense of the Monroe doctrine, there will be very little British terri toiy left in this hemisphere whose boundaries are capable of expansion, At the end of the conflict the sunrise gun of England could take a rest wnue ine orD 01 day was crossing America. No, Johnny Bull, we don want to fight, but don't you crowd. J1X. -BACKING UP ME. CLEVELAND- Doctrine of Monroe Eeafflrmed, The United States Will Assert and Main, lain It European Powers Given Notice to Keep Hands Off This Continent. The senate committee on foreign relations discussed for two hours last Friday the Monroe doctrine and finally ordered a reDort on the resolu tion submitted by Mr. Davis, of Minn., chairman of the sub committee. This resolution goes even further than did the president in his message to con gress on the Venezuelan question. It will, if passed, commit the congress to a policy from which there can be no back down, and there appears to be no doubt as to the ultimate result on the resolution. The resolution reaffirms and con firms the Monroe doctrine and de clares that the United States will assert and maintain it. It states specifically that this government will regard as an infringement of this doctrine any attempt on the part of any European power to acquire new or additional territory on this conti nent or the islands adjacent thereto as dangerous to the safety and the peace of the United States. The United States also denies the right of any European power to ac quire any such territory, either Yy force, purchase, cession, occupation, pledges, colonization or protection, whether under unfounded pretensions or right, under the guise of boundary isputes or otherwise, and declares nmistakably that any such attempt ill be regarded as a manifestation of an unfriendly disposition upon which this government cannot look with in. ifference. SKATED TO HIS DEATH. Frank Carpenter Skates into an Air Hole in the Ice on the River and is Drowned. The citizens of this place were thrown into consternation last Satur day by a telephone message being received from VV. C. Ervfocle. the florist near the river, conveying the sad and startling information that Frank, the second son of F. R. Car penter had been drowned in the river. At first the message was not believed, Dut investigation proved that it was only too true. The facts as we were able to ascertain them were sub stantially as follows : On the evening previous r rank, who was fond of all athletic sports, had been down to the river, and returned informing his brother Ben and his two companions lay and Ired Allen, that the skatme was hne, and accordingly it was ar ranged among them that on the fol lowing morning they would indulge in the pastime. At eight oclock Satur day morning a trio of happy light hearted lads started out for what they supposed was to be a day of pleasure When they arrived at the canal at Market Street Fred strapped on his skates and went down the canal, the others went on down Market Street to the river, put on their skates and started down intending to go to Rupert, where they had agreed to meet Fred Allen. They had not gone far however until they encountered so much water that Jay Allen and Ben Carpenter concluded to take off their skates and walk down the road, Frank remaining on the ice. Frank who was skating, had reached a point im mediately below Mr. Bryfogle's and in the exuberancy of his spirits had called to the boys on the bank that the skating was elegant. He had scarcely uttered these words when he skated into an air hole and disappear ed from view. The boys on the bank were powerless to render him any assistance, but they immediately gave the alarm. By this time Frank came up out of the water and was able to keep his head above it until he had floated a distance of about sixty feet, when becoming exhausted as he reached for support from the surround ing ice he was carried under. Mr, Bryfogle and others arrived in a short time, but too late to save his life. The sad news spread very rapidly ana in a snort time a large crowd had gatnered on the bank, willing and eager to render any assistance in their power. The work of breaking the ice and cutting channels was im mediately commenced and they work ed until nearly twelve o'clock before they succeeded in recovering the body ot the uniortunate boy, which Warren byer found about sixteen feet below where he had gone under the ice. The body was taken out of the water as tenderly as possible and conveyed to his grief stricken parents The funeral services were held at the residence of his parents on West Fifth Street Tuesday morning at 10:30 o clock and conducted bv Rev. Patter son. The body was taken to Tamaqua ior interment, rranlc was a good active, studious and intelligent boy ana was a lavorite with all his com pamons, and was nearly nineteen years of age. The family have the assurance of the sympathy of the community in their bereavement.

Catalogues may find lodgment on a shelf, but the frequent arrival of a reputable journal is a constant and sure reminder, which sooner or later must bear fruit. It is the non-ad-vertiser who complains of hard times. When everybody is rushed, it is no trick to secure custom ; it is when his neighbors are idle that the man, who has wisely kept his name and goods before the public, finds himself so well known that he gets his full share of what patronage is to bi had. The time to make hay is while the sun shines. Repair the roof while the weather is favorable, and there is no lack when the storm comes.
