HON. ANDREW L FRITZ ANN0UN0E8
TOR CONGRESS IN MONTOUR CO.
The following is taken from the
Danville Intelligencer, a paper own
ed by the late Hon. R. K. Polk.
Hon. Andrew L. Fritz, ol
Bloomsburg, announces m this
week's issue as a candidate for Con
gress in this county for the next
full term. The District is composed
of Montour, Columbia, Northum
berland and Sullivan counties.
Mr. Fritz was born in Northern
Columbia county, and during his
younger years worked on a farm
and in the lumber woods. This
experience has been the means of
keeping him in close contact with
the people, so that when a member
of the Legislature he looked after
their wellfare by working to have
laws passed to protect the interests
of the farmers and laborers. He
taught schools for a number of
years. After receiving a thorough
academic education he studied law
with Senator Buckalew, and has
been in active practice in Blooms
burg since his admission to the bar.
When a student at law he was
Deputy Sheriff several years. lie
was afterwards receiver of taxes,
town auditor, and Secretary of
Town Council, which positions he
filled with credit, and by his kind
and obliging disposition he made
many friends. He was a member
ot the Pennsylvania House ot Re
presentatives for eight years. He
served on the Judiciary General,
Ways and Means, and Appropria
tion Committees, the three most
important in the House. He also
served on a number of other com
mittees. He took a prominent part
when a member of the Legislature
by laboring earnestly in the in
terests of the taxpayers, for equal
taxation, the public schools, and to
economize the expenses of our State
government, and he was one of the
most active and hardest workers
during his entire service as a
Member. He was against all
measures to create new offices and
to increase salaries. As a legislator
he has met with marked success.
He won the confidence of the people
with whom he was thrown in con
tact, and did such excellent service
in the legislature that the Demo-
cratic leaders of the State gave him
the caucus nomination for Speaker,
which position cave him the Demo
cratic leadership of the House. He
is truly a representative man of the
people, and has gained a strong
Hold upon the Democrats of the
State, and his personal nomilaritv
and upright life have won for him
tne respect ot the people of all
parties. His untiring i ndustrv And
devotion to duty, together with his
conceded ability, commend him to
public lavor, as is attested by his
long service in the Lefislatnre.
where he possessed the high esteem
of all, and where he was looked
upon as one of the most popular
and conscientious members of the
House. There were few if any
whose influence upon legislation
was more potent for good than that
OI Mr. iTlti. ll& was aliuai.c .
winuj j 1
great worksr and scanned Wwla
tion closely, and was a forcible and
ready debater, a good parliament
arian, and a Member whose close
watch upon all matters of legislation
Kepi mm always prepared to intel
ngentiy discuss any measure that
came up for action in the Hnnw
This extended legislative experience
' vciy vamaoie 10 111111 as a
member of Congress. He is re
garded with ereat respect in hni
ness and social life, and in all the
positions wnicn lie lias filled,
he
was Held 111 high esteem by h
is
fellow citizens of all shades
political opinion.
Mr. Fritz has no onDositinn
of
for
Congress in Columbia county. He
received the nomination in th
at
county in 1890 and in 1898, but
the conference of the four count
at
ties
he was defeated on the claim that
Montour or Sullivan was then
uueu 10 me nomination, and gave
uis conierees to tliose counties
After the District nomination he
worked and traveled for the Demo
cratic nominees, first from Sullivan
in 1896, and afterwards in 1898
and 1900, for oui late Congress
man. No man in the District work
ed harder and more effectively for
Mr. Polk during his two campaigns
previous to the November election
than Mr. Fritz. His extended ex
perience and high standing as a
legislator and citizen will make him
a strong candidate, and his past
training will enable him at the be
ginning of the next term to take a
prominent part in Congress..
Alexander Knouse, of Jackson
township, is a candidate for Asso
ciate Judge. He announces his
name this week, and he lays claim
to the nomination because his sec
tion of the county has not been
represented on the bench since
Cyrus Mcllenry's time. In 1888
Mr. Knouse was a candidate for the
nomination for sheriff and made a
good run, but was defeated by John
15. Casey. He submitted grace
Lilly, and warmly supported the
ticket. He has always been an
active Democrat and believes in
rotation in office. His section gives
a big Democratic vote, and he and
his friends feel that they are en
titled to this recognition. Mr.
Knouse asks for your voles at the
primary election in June.
JAMISON CITY.
Dr. I. L. Edwards, of Benton,
and A. L. Fritz, Esq., of Blooms
burg, were in this end of the county
on Monday looking after the in
terests of the Pennsylvania Mining
& Copper Co. Dr. Edwards is Pres
ident and Mr. Fritz attorney for
the company.
Drum Bros., successors to A. W.
Vaughn & Co. in the mercantile
business, are doing a nice trade.
They have a large general stock.
M. Forbes took charge of the
City Hotel on February 1st, suc
ceeding J. 'P. Hill. Mr. Forbes
has been 111 the business here for
several years and is well known to
the traveling public.
The hotel business is not what it
was in this section a few years ago.
At one time there were seven li
censed places within a few miles'
radius, five of them in Jamison and
two at Central. They all boomed
for a while, but the trade has fallen
off, and four of them have closed
up. Proctor Inn has uot been open
for the past four years.
Speaking of Proctor Inn, we
notice handbills posted announcing
the sale of all the personal property
remaining there on Friday of this
week. The real estate will also be
sold at that time. It is a shame
that such a fine property should
have to be abandoned for want of
patronage. It cost about $16,000,
and there were few better furnished
hotels in the state. Its location
made it a most delightful place to
spend a few days for recreation and
rest, and lovers of nature had a
bundant opportunity to gratify their
tastes by roaming around among
the rocks and rills. But for some
reason it did not draw sufficient
patronage to make it a paying in
vestment, and for the past few
years it has been occupied by Wil
liam Graham as a private residence.
We understand that it can be
bought very cheap.
The saw mill started up again
on Monday alter several weeics
idleness. They have a large num
ber of logs on hand, most of which
are brought down the west branch
over the Pentecost railroad. About
thirty five hands are employed at
the mill.
The Tannery is running seven
hours a day now. Great quantities
of hemlock bark are being pre
pared.
The Morning Press publishers
have hung out a neat and attrac
tive sign over their entrance to
their office in the Dentler building.
" I had a most stubborn cough
for many years. It deprived me
of sleep and I grew very thin. I
then tried Ayer Cherry Pectoral,
and was quickly cured."
R. N. Mann, Fall Mills, Tenn.
Sixty years of cures
and such testimony as the
above have taught us what
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral
will do.
We know it's the great
est cough remedy ever
made. And you will say
so, too, after you try it.
There's cure in every drop.

Spring Medicine
There's no Beason when good

Spring, and there's no medicine
which docs bo much good in Spring
as Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Do not delay taking it.
Don't put it off till your health

Hood's Sarsaparilla
"Will give you a good nppetito,

mental and digestive strength and

EAST BENTON-
The great amount of prospecting
for hidden treasures in the earth by
mining and boring, and in which
so many people invest all their
possessions in the hope of becom
ing speedily wealthy, without
effort, suggests the following lines
iu rhyme.
Know oil men liy these piesenix,
That the earlh is b:g nnd round;
Whether rich, or poor, or distressed,
Millions of wealth, we have found.
All the land that we have leased,
In valley, hill-top, or mount;
From morn till eve, have not ceased
To search the Country all around.
(old, silver, oil anil copper,
Till our treasures "heapin" full;
Sure, and this is not a whopper,
For each ot us had a pull.
Sure, and we have not "Imildin" been,
Such fine castle in the air;
Nor "dieamin" of a fairy land,
Where one never knows despair.
Home and friends' we've sacrificed,
To appease our thirst for 140M;
And no joke nor jesting here,
Our hopes turned to rut nnd mould.
Of course, while we believe that
it is proper and right to develop
our mineral resources ty prospect
ing, at even some financial risk,
we do not think that it is wise to
risk all the savings of a life time
for something that is entirely out of
sight, in the hope of striking a rich
find, which so frequently does not
materialize.
A. U. Lesher's mother died at
Bendertown last week and was
buried iu the St. James Cemetery
last Saturday. She was a sister of
Mrs. Stott McIIenry of Stillwater.
Mrs. Susan Beishline of Jones
town died at the home of herbrothe:-in-law,
Harvey Ash near Still
water last week and was interred in
the Jonestown Cemetery last Sun
day. Mrs. Beishline was the widow
of A. W. Beishline of Bendertown
who died a number of vears ago.
She is survived by a circle offriends
and a daughter who lives in Hazle
ton. At this writing the roads alter
nate to good and bad. O, what bad
patches of roads!
Mrs. Alvin Dresher of this place
is no better and great solicitude for
her recovery is universally felt.
But great apprehensions for the
worst are feared.
Mrs. Sarah, relict of the late
Philip Hess, died at her home in
Espy Sunday night, at the age of
seventy-eight years, tour chil
dren and a sister, Mrs. Franklin
Shuman, and a brother ex-county
commissioner Stephen Pohe, sur
vive. She was also a half-sister of
Mrs. Samuel Turnbach, of Blooms
burg. The remains were interred
in the Afton Cemetery yesterday
morning.
