8 DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. N Of Brookville, Pa. Nominated by the Democratic Party for Gov ernor, at Altoona, Pa., June 29th, 1898. Hon. George A. Jenks was born in Punxsutawney, March 23d, 1835. When he was fourteen years of age his father died, when the son became a clerk in a store, devoting all his spare time to study. Fourteen months later he became a school tr. eacher. For six months he at tended an academy at Brookville, where he also served a two-years' apprenticeship to the carpenter trade. He then studied law with his brother, Hon. Wm. P. Jenks, and resumed teaching. In 1855, acting as a surveyor, he assisted in laying out the City of Omaha. He afterward worked as a carpenter in lowa, and shortly afterward re turned to Pennsylvania and entered Jefferson College, from which he graduated, near the head of his class, in 1858. He was admitted to the Bar the following year. In 1874 he was elected a Member of Congress from the 25th district, de feating Judge Harry White, of In diana. During the session he Was one of the managers of the Belk nap impeachment case and made the principal argument in a manner that attracted wide attention. He served also on the Louisiana inves tigation committee. After the passage of the Electoral Commission bill, Mr. Jenks was ap pointed, with David Dudley Field and J. Randolph Tucker, to man age, on the part of the House, the femous Hayes-Tilden contest for liie Presidency., His arguments in this cash brought him applause from good men all over the coun try, and even those on the opposing side freely accredited him with the possession of a genius in his profes sion. Considering the brief time he served, probably no man ever made a more brilliant record in Congress. Voters, Attention! . The decision of Judge Savidge is worth considering by every voter. If a voter places a mark in the circle at the head of his ticket and then places a mark before any other name on the ticket, his vote is illegal and must not be counted. To split a ticket, you must not mark in the circle, but must put a cross opposite to the name of each candidate on the ticket for whom you desire to vote. The best and safest way i& to put a cross in the circle of the column headed "Democratic." With one little stroke you cast your ballot for the straight ticket. Do this and you wiH be right. Sunbury Dem ocrat. A barn near Fowlersville, belong ing to Albert W. Leybert, contain ing all of this year's crops was destroyed by fire last week. The insurance will not cover half the loss. The fire is thought to have been the work of an incendiary. J. W. Freeman who has been living at Reyturn, Luzerne county, for some time past has moved to Light Street. ' BARGAIN IN LAMS' BICYCLE BOOTS, $1.29 per Pair. WIDTHS, C. D and E. W.C. McKINNEY, No. 8 East Main Street Mr. Jenks was the Democratic candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court in 1880. In June, 1885, he was appointed by President Cleve land Assistant Secretary of the In terior. Here he served until the following May, when he retired on account ot inability to agree with the policy of the land commissioner. Mr. Jenks has always believed that the public lauds should be reserved for the good of the people, and not parceled out to monopolizing cor porations. Two months afterward Mr. Cleve land appointed him Solicitor Gen eral of the United States. He pros ecuted the Government suits against the Bell Telephone Company and the Pacific Railroad Company, read ing the law as a good Democrat should read it, to mean that the people, and not the monopolies, ought to be held supreme. When the former case was dismissed by the Court he did not hesitate to crit icise the decision as based upon a bad interpretation of the law. Mr. Jenks frequently acted as Attorney General in the absence of Mr. Gar land. Upon the accession of Presi dent Harrison he was asked to re main in his position, but resigned it in May, 1898. He was the coun sel for the Oil Producers' Associa tion in its famous contest with the Standard Oil Company, and suc ceeded in having the latter organ ization criminally indicted in the Clarion County Court. Mr. Jenks is superior in' ability, is a kindly gentleman, and if elected Governor will be as accessible, upon proper occason, to the humblest cit izen as to the richest magnate in the land. He is of vigorous constitu tion, and always ready to perform his duty. Corrupt and Botteu . The whole of Quayism is corrupt and rotten, not only in dollars and cents, but in the principles that utr derly it. The government of the whole State by-any one man, or by 50 men, is a violation of the Con stitution of Pennsylvania. It is a discredit to your citizenship, it is a brand upon your fair name, and I ask that you do yourselves the jus tice of freeing yourselves from these injuries. GEO. A. JENKS, at New Castle. Peter Hartzell, an old and well known resident of Main township, died Friday of last week. His death is attributed to old age, he having passed his eighty-second birthday. His wife died several years ago. The funeral took place on Sunday. Wyoming Seminary foot ballists will try to down the Normals on Normal Field Saturday afternoon. William A. Stone, Republican candidate for Governor will speak in Bloomsburg on Monday. THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMBBURG, PA. Everybody admires the work of a clever child or of an actress who is so much like one as to leave in the minds ot her audiences doubts as to whether she really is a woman or just what she is pretending to be in her work, and many a wager has been made as to just what state of femininity Jessie Mae Hall has reached, by those whom she has entertained. Miss Hall is cast this season for what is said to be the best role she has ever essayed, that of the little eleven year old waif "Nettles" in the charming Southern romance "The Princess of Patches", in which she will appear at the Blooms burg Opera House Friday Oct. 28th, and which is an original play written with a view to giving her plenty of room to display her versatility and also to introduce some other cleverly portrayed and unique characters. The dialogue is bright and crisp, the comedy situation laughable and thoroughly natural, and the excuses for the villainy (without a certain amount ot which a play of the character would fail to give entire satisfaction) are olausible ; the scenery is all new, very ( pretty and quite appropriate for the Southern country in which the scenes of the plot are laid. Jessie Mae Hall is a vocalist of more than ordinary ability and possesses a highly cultivated and very sweet high soprano voice of remarkable range and power which is really too good to be used for the ordinary soubrette songs and which she therefore wisely uses in the artistic rendition of the higher class ballads. Mr. Woodin made a speech in Sun bury recently, in which he declared his adherence to Republican doctrines, and pledged himself to stand by them if elected to congress. No better reason than this can be given why he should not have the vote of a single Democrat in the district. A good program "well rendered" is what all the people say who attended the dramatic Recital in the Opera House Friday night. The vocal selec tions were all beautiful and Miss Correl's reading was excellent. The audience was not very large, but ap preciative. A land slide on the Pennsylvania Railroad half way between Blooms burg and Mifflinville delayed all trains for several hours on Saturday. Answers of the candidates to ques tions asked by Pomona Grange No. 5, are printed on page 7.
