Mrs. T, M. Fields died at her home on Sixth street on Monday, after an illness of four years, aged 57 years. She is survived by her husband and eight children. She was a consistent metnher of the M. E. church. The burial took place on Wednesday. Ha who attempts to split his tick et at the cominsr election will prob ably get mixed. The ballot is so large and complicated that the only safe way IS to put a cross auer uie word "Democratic" in the left hand column, and thus vote the straight ticket from top to bottom. Dolly, the horse of C. B. Gun ton, became so feeble from old age that she was shot last Wednesday. She was purchased by Thos. W. Gunton thirty years ago, and some years later was presented to his son Clareuce. Untilrecently she bad worked right along daily. For the past three years the office of Register and Recorder has been occupied by Frank W. Miller. 'He lins made an obliging and efficient officer, and is now seeking an elec tion for a second term, to which he is entitled under the rule.

There can be no perm anent return to prosperity in this country so long as the government sets the people an example of such re-kless prodigality as has been practiced under Republican rule in recent years. At the last Congressional election in this district Hon. John G. Mc IIenry carried every county hut Northuniherland. A prominent cit izen of the latter county recently made the statement that on the present outlook Mr. McIIenry will carry the county by over 1,000 ma jority. If this prediction holds out Congressman McIIenry will he re elected by the largest majority ever given a congressman in this district. He will be re-electe.l any way, and well deserves to be. Calau'issa News Item. Phenomenal Weather. Prophet Predict Ideal Weather Until No vember. The piesent ideal autumn weath er, which is so invigorating and healthlul is destined, according to the statements of prognosticators of the weather to continue until the advent of November and per haps, longer. This season, with its intensely hot and dry summer, and the still later extended and severe drought, has been an exceed ingly remarkable one surpassing, in its peculiar conditions, all pre vious seasons, not even that vera cious individual, the "oldest in habitant," remembering anything equalling the weather phases that have prevailed throughout the United Mates. Freeze Quick has had long ser vice in the Prothonotary's office, and is thoroughly familiar with all the business in that department, His nomination for Prothonotary without opposition was a merited compliment. His election is a fore gone conclusion, but no Democrat should stay at home on election day because he thinks the party candidate will be elected anyway. A sufficient number of that kind of Democrats might ' elect the other fellow. Get out, and bring your friends. Vote for Quick. Sentenced for Six Years. Six4 years confinement in the eastern penitentiary, a hue of S250, arid the costs of prosecution is the penalty Michael Lavaerera, of Cen tralia, must pay for the killing of Luy Salerna, last March.' He was sentenced by Judge Evans at Bloomsburg on Saturday morning, after Attorney Harman withdrew his motion for a new trial. In sentencing him Judge Evans said that the court would take heed of the jury's recommendation to the mercy of the court, and would give nim less than half of the limit, which is twelve years in the penitentiary and $1,000 fine. District Attorney C. A. Small will succeed himself in that office. Under his administration the busi ness of the office has been conduct ed with dispatch and ability. He has endeavored to protect the inno cent as well as to punish tbe guilty. Since the influx of the foreign ele ment in this county, the criminal list has largely increased, and there have been a number of murder trials. All of these Mr. Small has handled in a creditable manner. He is entitled to a second term, and every Democrat in the county should support him. t VOTE FOR SMALL. An Editor Married. Theodore R.

ARDOR DAY lie Observance It Urged by Dr. Schaftor. Superintendent N. C Schaeffer calls attention to the fact that Fri day, October 23rd is arbor day and urges that the day be observed by the planting of trees and other suit able exercises. Dr. S haeffer says: "The conservation oTour natural resources lias become a problem of universal interest to the American people. Our soil, our forests, our mineral wealth and our water sup ply cannot be wasted without im pairing the country's greatness and prosperity. The sources of our wealth should be preserved and, as far as possible, restored for the be nefit of posterity. Whatever is put into the schools will appear in the life of the nation. Studies which tend to improve our industrial conditions should be fostered and encon raged. The planting of trees for shade and for fruit, the process of budding and grafting, the methods of desfoying noxious insects and the prevention of fort st fires should be studied by the pupils in both public and pri vate -schools.' The dissemination of this kind of knowledge has been greatly stimulated by the observ ance of arbor day. The perpetua tion of the laudable custom of cele brating arbor day when all the schools are in session. Friday, Oct. 23d, is hereby designated as au tumn arbor day, and all connected with the schools are urged to ob serve the day by planting trees and other suitable exercises. John W.

Some people inform us of such news, and others do not. An editor should not be expected to know the name and residence of all your uncles, aunts and cousins, even it he did see them pet on and off. the train. Tell us about it. Its news that makes the paper, and every man, woman and child can sometimes furnish news. Tell us. If we have no news ahont von this morning, who is to blame? Ex. OASTOIIXA. Bean tbe Tha Kind Vou Have Always Bought THE DUTY UF GRAND JURIES. The usefulness of Grand Juries as ) rt of the in ichlnerv of j notice lias been railed in question recently by high judicial authority. Promi nent among the judges who hive expressed opinions to the effect that these juries could be advantageous ly dispells -d with is Judge Savidge, of the Northumberland Count Court, who regards them uhkIi i the liht of a li ill wheel to a waj 011. The Judge has given some plausih'e reasons for discontinuing the sjrvke f Grand ltiries. but h is vieAs are not sustained by Judg Bell, of Hlair county, wlio does 11 ot favor the abolition of the Grai Jury system. At the last term of nis court, in defining the duties an enlarging upon the service wind such juries can and should render he sai l: "It is the duty of the grand jut ors in considering cases to separat lb; wheat Iroin the chaff You are to carefully iuvestigite trivial case and consider whether the Common wealth Ins made out a prima faci case. Where there is a doubt am vou hesitate as to w.iether there can be a conviction, then all sue! cises should be ignored. There an many triv ial cases of quarrels be tween neighbors that get into court .and the parties are generally poor Even if conviction follow sucl cases the parties are too poor to p.i the costs, and they are perhaps sent to tail and subsequently reieas ed. In such case the grand jurors might as well put the costs on the county at once, and thus avoid the expense ol a tiial in court " DEEDS RECORDED.

Our old friend John Mourey is the Democratic candidate for coun ty treasurer. His popularity was evidenced by the vote he received at the primary election. Probably no man in the county is better known than John Mourey. His occupancy of the office of sher iff for two terms gave him the op portunity to make acquaintances all over the county, and where he has made acquaintances he has al ways made friends. Vote for Mourey, and when you see his genial facs in the county treasurer's office, it will be a plea sure to feel that you helped put him there. Archdeaconry Meeting. The fall session of the Archdea conry oftWilliamsport will convene in St. Paul's church on Monday evening, and will continue until Wednesday evening. Bishop Darlington and about twenty-five clergymen will be in at tendance. The day sessions will be for busi ness and the evening sessions will be public. A general invitation is extended to the evening services. when addresses will be made by various clergymen. It is expected that the Rev. John Hewitt of Bellefonte, a former rec tor of St. Paul's will be present. Don't Be Misled. If any Republican candidate asks a Democrat to vote for him merely as a compliment because his Demo cratic opponent will be elected any way, don t be misled. Republicans are not in the habit of giving com plimentary votes to Democrats as a general thing, and it is a poor rule that won't work both ways. The only safe and sure way is to vote a straight Democratic ticket. .
