On Thursday alternoon.October 25, 1900 Mr. Jackson passed from this life to the life beyond the grave. He was born at Berwick June 7th, 1836 and resided there continuously until the date of his death. He was edu cated in Berwick public schools and the Dickinson Seminary of Williams port, Pennsylvania. - During early manhood he became engaged in the mercantile business, which he followed until his admission to the Bar in 1875 from which time he devoted his entire attention to the practice of the law. The influence of constant association with his fatner, the late M. E. Jackson, who was one of the foremost lawyers of this county enabled him to early grasp the funda mental principles of the law. He was an able and a successful lawyer. Mr. Jackson was several times a member of the School board and for a number of years Solicitor of the Bor- ough council.

From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Oct. 26, 1900. When old Zach Chandler made Hayes a possibility by claiming his election after the returns showed Ti Men's election, he established a precedent that has been slavishly followed by the republican mana gers of every national campaign since. The republicans have al ready re-elected McKiuley, accord ing to their claims, and the voting ten days hence will be a mere for mality. Theobject of this bluff and bluster is so plain that he who runs may read it. Once get that large portion ot the public which takes no personal part in politics other tnan to vote to accept the idea that McKinley's election is assured, and the way will be paved to work Hanna's plans to secure the election by the corrupt use of money and any otner crooned way that pre sents itsell, and those who know little or nothing about the nianimi lation of political machinery will be more apt to accept the result so ob tained because it had been so con fidently claimed before election. i "IIe lig best who laughs last JMCKinley, and that they do not deem it good policy to do. It is the "silent vote" which thev are depending upon to elect Bryan and Stevenson, and to locate that vote lor tne republicans would be to make trouble for the voters and to lose much of it. Tust let everv democrat keep his shoulder to the wheel and remember that Novem ber 6, is the day on which the Pres ident will be elected. The slobbering the word isn't elegant, but it is exactly expressive in this case of the men who first the Hanna-KcKinlev crowd. Some think that Mr. Sherman died from1 a broken heart, but there is no evi dence that his heart was the kind that breaks. That he had been a soured and disgusted man ever since his failure to capture the Presiden tial nomination of his party every body knows, as he advertised the fact in his book of recollections; but as he always was glacial and un genial it is not likely that disap pointment shortened his life. He was seventy-eight and he had been a hard worker. That is enough to account for a death from natural causes. Bank Examiners that can detect fraudulent manipulation of bauk books by crooked employes is a needed reform which has been em phasized by the news of a $700,000 defalcation of an employee of the First National Bank of New York City, Secretary Gage was inclined to treat the matter rather lightly, when asked why the bank exami ners employed at high salaries by his department had not discovered the big defalcation in their exami nations of the bank's books. He said, nonchalently, as though it were a matter of no consequence : ' Our examiners cannot be expect ed to discover an old defalcation when the bank officers themselves have not found or suspected it. The First National Bank can stand it easily, with a surplus of $6,000, 000." These few words, of Secre tary Gage are a strong indictment of the national bank system, as it is now run. If the bank examiners "cannot be expected" to find crook edness uutil it i'i pointed out to them by the bank officers, pi ay, how do they earn their salaries ? If the people elect Mr. Iiryati Presi- .1 t. 1 :n o . -r.i ucni, ue wu ei u ,-ecrtiary 01 me Treasury who will expect more of ! the bank examiners, and will see j to it that they are men with kr.owl-1 edge and skiil enough to meet his ' expectations. This! particular bank j has been such a pet of republican Secretaries of the Treasury, since 1877, when it'jumped into promi nence as one of the most successful New York' banks, through favors given it by the Treasury Depart ment, that the bank examiners may have been afraid to look too closely into its books. The government service is in j crippled condition in al the depart ments and is likely to remain so un til after the election, owing to the absence of nearly all of the respon sible officials, who are in the field doing political work of some kind, or putting up a bluff that they are, while their salaries are going right along. A man filling a scientific position in the Department of Agri culture thus voiced his disgust I his is our busy time, ana we need our full force. The service is being neglected by the very men, and by their orders, who prate about 'giving the people a business like administration. REFORMS IN COUNTY LAWS. Changes Recommended by Commissioner! in Convention. The annual ' state convention of the County Commissioners of Penn sylvania adjourned at Allentowti to meet next year at Bellefonte. Be sides listening to many papers, ad dresses and discussions, the con vention adopted resolutions recom mending that the fee system lor county officials be abolished ; that the laws may be so amended that the counties may retain their por tion of the state tax without first sending it to the state treasury ; that a law be passed making it a felony for a public officer to demand or receive more lees than the law allows ; that the law be amended so that ior trivial cases returned to court the costs may be put on the magistrate ; that the law requiring the counties to pay the costs in dis charged cases be repealed ; that the school boards be compelled to pay for the registration of school chil dren ; that the law in regard to fees for executing affidavits to re turns of births or deaths be re pealed ; that a law be passed mak ing county tax a lien on real estate; that a description of all real estate purchased be filed in the County Commissioners' office ; that the. fees of stenographers be made part of the costs in all cases, instead of being paid by the counties, and the law making constables fire wardens and appointing fire detectives, be repealed. The decision of the Luzerne County Commissioners to build the new court house on the site now occupied by the old on; does not appear to meet with popular favor. Had the matter been submitted to a vote ot the people the present build ing would be torn down, the square converted into a public park, and the new building erected on River street. This would also add to the beauty of the city. Commissioners are paid to do the will of the peo ple, but they don't always do it. The warning cough is the faith ful sentinel.

It is entitled the "One- man Band," and is unexcelled as a j mysterious subject. 1 he beginning ot the picture shows the magician in the foreground and after bowing to the audience he immediately proceeds to cause a number of chairs to mysteri ously appear on the stage. He sits down on one of them and as he rises the audience is amazed at the fact that he leaves an exact counterpart of himself sitting in the chair. The same phenomenal result is attained as the magician rapidly seats himself in the various chairs, and every chair is soon occupied by an animated counterpart of the magician himself. Each of of these individuals is seen to have a musical instrument and at a signal from the leader they proceed to render a selection, after which they mysteri ously disappear. It is unexplainablc. Don't fail ta see it. Admission 25 and 35 cents. Not That Kind of a Woman- A woman was taken before an Easton magistrate and asked her age. She said twenty-eight.
