Snyder and tbe People- (
In less than two weeks the peo
ple of Pennsylvania will be called
on to determine a most important
question concerning their welfare.
They will be asked to choose be
tween a subservient tool of the cor
porations of the State and an able
and courageous champion of the
people,, a man to fill the office in
the government of the State the
occupant of which determines all
questions of right and wrong be
tween the people and the corpora
tions. There is not a rational man
in Centre county who would allow
Senator William P. Snyder to sit
as juror in a case between himself
and the Pennsylvania railroad,
however small the amount involved.
Everybody knows that, right or
wrong, he would decide in favor of
the corporation.
The Auditor General is not only
the juror in all cases in which the
Pennsylvania railroad, the Standard
Oil company or any other corpora
tion is in contention with the peo
ple of Pennsylvania, but he is the
judge and advocate. Whatever he
says with respect to the obligations
of corporations is the law, it the
corporation assents to it. If the cor
poration feels aggrieved it can ap
peal to the courts. But the people
have no such right of redress. The
Auditor General fixes the matter
absolutely. He can make a rail
road company pay all it owes on
the basis of a fair valuation or he
can let it off with a moiety of what
it ought to pay and the people have
no right of appeal. No other offi
cer in this or any other State has
such immense power.
Yet Senator Quay has chosen for
this great office a man who during
eleven years service In the Legis
lature has uever once raised his
voice or cast his vote iu the inter
est of the people as against the cor
porations. Every measure of spolia
tion of the people for the benefit of
the corporations has had his earnest
and active support. Millions of
dollars worth of property have been
voted to the Pennsylvania railroad
during the period of his service in
the Legislature and his vote and
influence has invariably been with
the corporations and against tbe
people. Notwithstanding tle
facts, however, the people are now
asked to put him in a position in
which he may do their interests
greater harm than before. Iflhey
are wise they will not make such a
blunder. Bcllcfonte U atchman.
BmS IN THE rTJLPIT.
W. J. Bryan attended service Sut
day morning at the First Metho
dist Episcopal church, Chicago. At
the close of the sermon, preached
by the Rev. J. P. Brushingham,
Mr. Bryan was invited to the pulpit
and made a short address.
Mr. Bryan said that were he to
choose a text he would speak on
"The man who says he loves God
and hates his brother is a liar."
He spoke on the attitude of man
towards his brother man. Special
music was sung iu his honor by the
choir.;
Judge Dnuham a Candidate-
Judge E. M. Dunham of Laporte
is a candidate for a place on tbe
bench of the Supreme court. At a
meeting of the bar association of
Wyoming county, held at Tunk
hanuock last week, he was in
dorsed for appointment to the
vacancy ou the bench of the Su
preme court occasioned by the
death of Chief Justice McCollum,
of Montrose. Judge Dunham has
already been indorsed by the Sulli
van county bar. A petition has
also been numerously signed by
members of the bar of Columbia
county asking for Judge Dunham's
appointment.
In regard to the vacancy in the
Supreme Court made by the death
of Chief Justice McCollum, the Pitts
ton Gazette says: "Thns far ten
candidates for tbe Supreme bench
vacancy have been announced.
Two of them are democratic and
therefore ineligible. The remain
ing eight, in addition to Judge
Edwards, of Lackawanna, comnrise
Judges Stewart, of Franklin; Doty,
ot Westmoreland; Wilson, of Beaver
Henderson, of Crawford; Morrison,
of McKean, and Dunham, ot Sulli
van, with Judge Rice, of Luzerne,
and Lyman D. Gilbert, of Dauphin,
"in the hands of their friends."
The latest thing in telegraph poles
is put out by a Williamsport "firm.
The poles are cut in sectious from
three to sixteen feet long. After a
thirty foot pole is set it can be
lengthened to fifty feet if necessary.
The poles are turned in a lathe and
the joints for cross arms are machine
fitted. The arras are held in place
by metal bands. The whole thing
is the invention of an Oklahoma
genius.

RULE OF COURT OF QUARTER SESSION?.
Section 1 The confirmation abso
lute of any bridge or road proceeding,
or order issued to open the highwaj,
will afford no warrant to construct
the proposed bridge or road in such a
manner as will require the highway to
cross the tracks of any railroad com
pany at the same grade thereof.
Act of 1 001, P. L. S3 1.
Commissioners of Columbia County
vs. Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Section a. A printed copy of this
rule shall be attached to the order
issued to viewers.
Now, October 19, 1903, the report
ot the Committee on Rules has been,
and the same is, approved ; and it is
further ordered that said rules be
printed in a book, of convenient s:ze,
at the expense ot Columbia and Mon
tour Counties, two-thirds thereof to
be paid by Columbia and one-third
by Montour County; that the edition
consist of 225 copies, 150 of which
to be paid by the Commissioners of
Columbia and 75 by the Commission
ers of Montour County, for disposi
tion by them, as required by the Act
of Assembly, approved April 16, 1903.
Bv the Court.
In the equity case of Mrs. Louisa
Small against Jacob Carl, the pre
liminary injunction was continued for
further consideration. Argument in
the case, which occupied the atten
tion of the Court for a major portion
of the morning session brought out
the facts which appear to be as fol
lows : Mrs. Small and Mr. Carl are
adjoining farm owners. Running
through the properties there is a public
road. A spring, the head of which is
on the Small property, enters the
road at a point near the dividing line
of the two farms. Years ago, the
spring ran over the road, and the
township supervisors constructed a
ditch which carried the water of! and
led it into a creek. Recently Carl
closed up the ditch causing the water
to flow over Mrs. Small's land. A
number of witnesses were heard after
which as above stated the preliminary
injunction was continued.
Samuel Neyhard, of Bloom ; Chas.
Reichart and J. D. Bodine, of Cata
wissa, were appointed inspectors for
the new county bridges one near J.
R. Bibby's, in Catawissa township;
the other on county line with North
umberland, near Edward Hummel's.
In the afternoon the equity pro
ceedings in the Miffltnville bridge
matter were taken up, but no oral
argument was made. Briefs were
filed by the attorneys, and a few re
marks made by Counsel. The matter
was then given over into the hands of
the Court, and a decision will be
handed down later.
In the case of Levan, who was
at the September terra of court con
victed of nurder in the secojd de
gree, and in which case reasons for
a new trial have been filed, no ar
gument was made. The matter
was continued.
Liquor Men Next.
It is hinted at the dairy and food
department that there will be some
surprises in store for the liquor and
beer sellers all over the state. A
singular fact in connection with
this analysis of liquor and malt
beverages is that samples of porter
purchased from stocks that have
been recommended by physicians
as tonics, and have been sold as
medicines, have been found t5 con
tain salycilic acid, which is a viola
tion ot the law. The analyses
nave not been completed and will
not be made publ'c for some weeks
Get out the full vote in the
county this fall. It is a mistake to
imagine that any election is unim
portant, it is tne duty ot every
good citizen to take his part in the
direction of government and the
only way that can be done' is

Typhoid Fever Has Another Victim.
The burden of affliction's hand has
again been made heavier in the
family of the late B. F. Girton.
This time it is the son John wlio
has fallen a victim to the dreaded
typhoid fever. He was taken ill in
the early part 'of September but
had successfully passed the climax
and was making progress to.vard
recovery when a relapse came, and
now his death is the result.
The grief of the mother is well
nigh indescribable, aud it is feared
that the latest blow will bring her
to the grave. Misfortune after mis
fortune has followed the family,
one by one members of the house
hold have been snatched away, un
til now the condition of the mother
is pitiful to behold. Her fortitude,
remarkable as it has been is gradu
ally disappearing and her mind has
become affected. It wnl be re
membered that she only recently re
covered from an attack ot the dis
ease and is still weak from the
effects of it.
The sickness and death with
which this family has been visited
of late has been told in these col
umns, and to repeat the story of
their great suffering is hardly
necessary, suffice it to say that this
is the fourth death resulting from
typhoid fever.
The deceased was aged forty
years. He was respected and es
teemed by everyone.
Appointed &nditor. -For
the first time in the history
of Northumberland county woman
lawyer was appointed by the court
as an auditor. Judge Auten on
Monday appointed Miss Julia Radle,
of Georgetown, auditor of the estate
of the late W. II. Moyer, of Lower
Mahanoy township. Miss Radle
also enjoys the distinction of beiug
the only female attorney in Central
Pennsylvania.

Two barrels of buns consigned to

at the United States Express office
marked "refused." The consignee
was without the money necessary
to. lift the goods last week, and
now they are not worth lifting. It
is doubtful if ever hogs would eat
them without some rejuvenating,
