Judge John Stewart Unanimously Nominated tor Supreme Court, At the re-called Democratic State Convention held in the Board of Trade Rooms, at Harrisburg, yesterday, and presided over by J. Thompson Baker, of Lewisburg, Judge John Stewart of Chambers burg, the Republican nominee for the Supreme Court bench, was unanimously nominated. A resolu tion was adopted endorsing the re form crusade in Philadelphia, and the convention cheered to the echo, a speech of great political force de livered by Mayor William H. Berry of Chester, the nominee for state treasurer. It was an enthusiastic gathering, and the frequent out bursts of applause showed that the rank and file are eager for the battle at the poles in November. Seldom has stronger denunciation of Republican mismanagement nnd ring rule beer made in a State Con vention or bcPer received by rep resentatives of Democracy of the State. The resolutions : Whereas, It has been the earn est effort and fixed policy of the Democracy of Pennsylvania to se cure a non-partisan judiciary in order that justice might be admin istered without sale, suspicion or delay, and the judgments of our courts be respected and willingly Obeyed ; and, Whereas, The Hon. John Ste wart, a distinguished lawyer and experienced jurist, whose public services and private life have en deared him to the thoughtful and patriotic people, and whose stal wart independence and services IN THE COUNTY Surplus and Undivided Profit 8160,000. rendered the State by resisting the perpetration of political wrongs in the past and opposing the personal rule of selfish leaders made it possi ble to elect a Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, has made it a pleasure, as well as a duty of this convention to place him in nomina tion as a candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court and an occasion to prove to the people of our State, without regard to politics, that the Democratic party and its organiza tion are sincere in its advocacy of a non-partisan judiciary . and earnest ly in favor of recognizing and re warding officers and public spirited citizens who perform their official and civic duties fearlessly and faithfully and demonstrate to the people that we are ready and will ing to co-operate and unite with the friends of good government and pure politics to the end that the grafter shall be driven from public place and honest, fair and free gov ernment be given and preset ved to the people of this great Common wealth. Resolved, That we call attention to the platform of principle adopted by our party on May 24 last and again invite to a "full union with us honest men of all patties and organizations sincerely intent upon the reformation ot public affairs," opposed to the corrupt leaders and base partisanship which have denied just election laws, personal regis tration, honest election and are publican form of government to the citizens of the Commonwealth. We approve the course of the Hon. John Weaver who as Mayor ot Philadelphia has come to realize that "a public office is a public trusr" tc be administered accord ing to law, and in interest of the people. We condemn and endorse the action of the people of Philadelphia who now arcused are bent upon ex posing the "grafters" and punish ing the perfidious leaders whose treachery and insatiable greed have earned for them the deserved con demnation of being denounced as a "criminal combination masquerad ing under the name of the Republi can party." And we call attention to the wotthy, faithful, honest and able candidate of the Democracy, Hon: W. H. Berry, as a man who would reform the Treasury of Pennsyl vania and make it a business insti tution instead of a party perquisite and political bank. In F. P. Llewellyn, of Shamokin, Prohibition candidate for mine in spector of Northumberland county, the ticket has a unique candidate. Iu real life Mr. Llewellyn is a hanker and capitalist, to whom delving about in damp gangways and neglected mine breasts would seem incongruous, to say the least. He is the son of a pioneer individual coal operator, and is by no means unqualified, although he has no chance of election. Feed your hair; nourish it; give it something to live on.

Mm. for Short Hair Avers Lightning Canaee Heaty Long. During a heavy shower on Satur day afternoon the large bam of A. J. Emmett in Hemlock township was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. The barn was a bank structure, 60x36 feet, and was one of the finest in that section The lightning struck one of the gables and ignited the birn, which was burned to the ground along with the cow shed and the wagon shed adjoining. The season's crops were burned along with two calves, two farm wagons, bob sleds and the family stores of wheat and flour. The loss is fully 4000. There was no insurance on the building or crops. Frank Emmet, tenant of the farm a:id an employe named Kashner, who were standing near, were both knocked down and badly shocked by the lightning. Won In a Walk. There are a number of Bentou ians conviuced to their sorrow that Al. McIIenry of Cambra knew what he were talking about when he said his horse could walk from Cambra to Benton in an hour. The state ment had no sooner left McIIenry's lips than the hungry up-creekers, jumping at what they considered a chance for sure money wanted to put up a bunch of the long green that the horse couldn't do it. The wagers were accordingly made, and on Saturday the event took place. The horse walked the dis tance, five and a quarter miles in just fifty-seven minutes. A fellow who was there says the Bentonians was a sad lot when Al. wearing a smile that will probably never wear off, gathered in the roll. Young VanSickle Well Young Ernest Yansickle. of Tam- ison City, who it will be remem bered was the victim of a shooting accident on the 3rd of July and who was taken to the Williamsport Hospital in what was then consid ered a vain hope to save his eye sight, is again at his home and the physicians were able to savi his left eye. The right one. however. is entirely gone and an artificial one will take its place. It is the intention of Mr. Vau- Sickle to have an artificial eve se cured for his boy immediately. He attributes the saving of the other eye to the prompt action of Dr. M. H. bmithgall of Jamison City. . . . Miss Elsie Our.in Will Wed Invitations have been issued for the wedding o!

Biith ) 'M MM tw Haw Always Bougil TO THE TAX-PAYERS and V0TER3 OF COLOMBIA COUNTY Several articles have recently ap jicared in tit county newspapers in which lire urged the expending of large sums of money in building additions to the Court House. If this should be done it would be adding a heavy burden to the pre sent high tax rate and large county debt. I feel therefore, that, as the reg ular nominee of the Repblican Party tor the office of County Commis sioner, and asking the suffage of the people. I should give to the voters and tax-payers of the county a clear statement of the position I shall take in the matter if elected. There is absolutely no necessity for rebuilding or making additions to the Court House. I believe in taking the best care of the property belonging to the county, in keeping the buildings in pro, er repair, and the bridges and highways safe so that the people to whom they belong shall be able to use them in comfort or travel in safety; but I do not believe in heap ing upon the shoulders of the tax payers of our county any increase of indebtedness or taxation beyond what is plainly necessary to the proper preservation and care of the property for the use and needs of the people. If the voters of the county shall honor me by electing me as one of the Board of Commissioners, 1 pledge myself to look carefully and couscientiously after the interests of every tax payer and the whole people, and to exert every effort to reduce the county debt and to lessen the burden of tax on the people and to conduct the office with out any waste of public funds.

The old soldier's name is Michael Foley, of Mt. Carmel. He was de lighted at the President's attention, and every exclamation of the Pres ident's in reference to him, "isn't that so, comrade?" brought a hearty hnd almost tearful delighted reply, "That's right;" "yes, siree." At the close of the exercises Mr. Fo ley clambered onto the stand and received a hearty handshake from the President. Mrs Hannah K. Morgan Dead.
