The Harrisburg Commonwealth very tritely says: "Annexation, ex pansion, imperialism and all the ques tions growing out of the war haven't any more to do with the campaign in Pennsylvania than the wind has to do with the revolution of the moon." For those desiring to visit Ocean Grove (Asbury Park) , u.ing Camp Meeting no better oppo.,unity offers than to go on Pennsylvania Railroad Nine Day Excursion Wednesday August 24th. Rates are low and ac commodations first class. On Saturday next, the people of Tyrone will unfurl to the breeze be tween two mountains, the largest Hag in the world.

The Montoursville Pantaloon facto ry has secured the government con tract to make 50,000 pairs of pantr loons for the army.

"Let this thought comfort you my son," said the Queen Regent, and the imperial < lips were firmly drawn, ' 'that whatever else we have lost, we have saved our honor."

BLOOMSBURG. PA. The contract for furnishing the diamond prizes for the race meet on Saturday has been awarced to Hess Bros. C- P. Sloan of Ent Post G. A. R. has been appointed an aide on the staff of Department Commander of Penna., W. J. Patterson. It is said by tying sand-paper arou nd her ankles, a girl can pro duce the same effects as buying an expensive silk skirt. The pieces of sandpaper rub together and sound like a $l2 skirt. A. H. Stroh will open a store at West Pittston the latter part of this mouth. He returned this week from New York where he has been purchasing his stock. We join with his many friends in wishing him unbounded success. Mrs. Elizabeth Kurtz, aged near ly seventy-five years, died at Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday last. The deceased was the mother of Associate Judge Kurtz. The remains were brought to Berwick and interred in the cemete.y at Summer Hill. The match race between C. W. Krick, of Sinking Springs, and Will F. McMichael, of Berwick, is the all absorbing topic of discus sion at the present. Several small bets were made Monday evening by some of our local sports. The odds appear to be slightly in favor of the former. The candidates of the Democratic party who were nominated at Altoona in June, were formally notified of their nomination, at Bedford Springs on Wednesday afternoon. C. B. Jackson Esq., was a member of the committee to inform the candidates, and Geo. E. Elwell also was present by invita tion from the state chairman. We are told that the opening of the new addition to the Grovania Hotel which took place on Wednes day night of last week was attend ed by considerable free fighting in which women played a prominent part. There have been no fatalities reported, although some of the par ticipants received blows which caused catalepsy. The supreme court has confirmed the decision of Judge Biddle, of Cumberland county, in a case that is of general interest throughout the state. He allowed constables ten cents on each and every mile they traveled in performance of their official duty. Many con stables were only allowed five cents, and proceedings will be instituted for back fees in many counties where they were withheld. One of our Lock Haven exchang es says a man lias been carrying on a swindling game in towns of that section. He represented himself as an agent for a millinery establish ment in Lebanon. He was selling outfits to make artificial flowers and said he would forward the wax, silk, wire, thread, scissors, and too moulds to make 150 in advance. He stated that he would be around the next day to give a lesson of an hour, and would continue for a week. The students in the art were to work one hour every day for a week, and at the expiration of that time they would receive $2.00 for their labor. He succeeded in in interesting a number of ladies who are still waiting for the return of the swindler, who left the same day, and since then nothing has been seen or heard of him. As he will very likely try his hand in Blooms burg, we warn our young ladies to look out for him. •' ***************** • jJTLjaj OME persons say • •I is natur al for • ePIJs ,hem to ,ose esh s •; during summer. • S But losing flesh is losing * •; ground.

It is said that war has had the effect of raising the price of many edibles, but that very few people know that the Irish potato is already higher than in years past at the same seasons. This is not due to shortage in crops, for reports coming from various sec tions show that it is about normal but entirely to an increase in demand. The war with Spain has been largely responsible for this increased demand, for the United States government is buying everything in the way of old potatoes to forward to the troops en camped in various parts of the country, and those engaged in the invasion of Cuba and the Philippines. For several months past the government agents have been securing vast stores of old potatoes. The gain in the regular demand caused by this drain has been filled witn orders ror new po tatoes, and they have constantly risen in price'somewhat, but the sudden termination of the war and the muster ing out of service of 75,000 soldiers, will probably effect the price, which will very likely come down a little. The September number of Harper's Magazine will be unusually cosmo politan in character. The timely sub ject of the outcome of the war with Spain will be treated in three impor tant articles : "The Future Policy of the United States," by James Bryce : "The United States in Foreign Mili tary Expeditions," by Professor Albert Bushnell Hart ; and "The New Fiscal Policy of the United States," by Worthington C. Ford. England re ceives attention in Mr. Smalley's se cond paper on Mr. Gladstone ; and in "Social Life in the British Army," illustrated by R. Caton Woodville. "The Romance of a Mad King" is a vivid sketch of the life of King Louis 11. of Bavaria; Sidney Whitman, F. R. G. S., writes of "The Turk at Home" ; and "Days in the Arctic" are notes from the journal of Frederick G. Jackson Part i, of "An Angel in a Web," a novel by Julian Ralph, four short stories, including one by Frederic Remington, and the Drawer conclude the number. Notice to Comrades Col- 00. Vet- Ass'n.
