EDITORIAL HENTION.
Have you made your new cen
tury resolutions.
We wonder if Mr. Bryan wil put
Aguinaldo on the free list of his
new paper.
The New York Sun lias denoun
ced Webster Davis as a lighting
lipped launcher. This is too, too
much.
Suppose Yale and Vassal - had a
raach debate which would win ?
Why, if is were a match it would
probably and in a tie, of course.
What the dickens are hopples?
The racingnien tell us they must
go. Why not inform us what they
are and let us decide for ourselves.
Some doctors have been contend
ing that six day bicycle races im
pair the mental faculties of the
contestants. This is not possible,
however.
The Government reports show
that the Christmas mails were
heavier than ever before in the
history of the country. Prosper
ity is certainly here to stay.
Lots of people have been talking
of Yuletide, not realizing that it
literally means the yelling time—
the time when our ancestors
"made Rome howl,'' as it were.
Of course it is hard for some
states to have their representations
in Congress reduced because they
have not grown as fast as others
have. But unless this is done, it
is only a question of time until the
House becomes so large that it will
overflow the Capitol.
After all, can the residents of
Sing Sing get rid of the prison
smell by changing the name of
their town to Ossining ? Would
not the new name soon become as
suggestive of prison as the old one?
Would not the scent of the jail bird
hang around it still?
A 'possum farm has been started
in Pennsylvania, where it will pro
bably be safe from depredators.
If it were south of the Mason and
Dixons line, its stock would be
more precarious than even that of
the average henroost in regions
where the colored brother abounds.
It is easy to blame Mr.
Cndahy for yielding to the threats
of the kidnappers and paying up
so easily. But what father would
do otherwise if he were able to pay.
The robbers had "the drop" on
him and all that he could do was
to pay up and then watch his
chance and get even.
There lieve been a good many
lynchings in the north this last
year, but they have generally dif
ferred from those in the south in
the fact that they were punished.
At Akron, Ohio, for instance,
twenty-one men have already been
sentenced to imprisonment for
their share in the mob their and
other indictments remain to be
tried.

Thousands Sent Into Exile.
Every year a large number of poor
sufferers whose lungs are sore and racked
with coughs are urged togo to another
climate. But this is costly and not always
sure. Don't be an exile when Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption will cure
you at home. It's the most infallible
medicine for Coughs, Colds, and all
Throat and Lung diseases on earth. The
first dose brings relief. Astounding cures
result from persistent use. Trial bottle

Pepsin preparations often fail to relieve
indigestion because they can digest only
albnminous foods. There is one prepar
ation that digests all classes of food, and
that is Kodoi Dyspepsia Cure. It cures
the worst cases of indigestion and gives
instant relief, for it digests what you eat.
It. C. Dodson. 81y
An egg is best when fresh, but it's
different with an office boy.
Persons who suffer from indigestion
can not expect to live long, because they
cannot eat the food required to nourish
the body and the products of the undi
gested foods they do eat poison the blood.
It is important to cure indigestion as soon
as possible, and the best method of doing
this is to use the preparation known as
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what
you cat and restores all digestive organs
to perfect health. R. C. Dodson. Sly
A railroad collision is certainly a bump
of destructiveness.
This season there is a large death rate
among children from croup and lung
troubles. Prompt action will save the
little ones from these terrible diseases.
We know of nothing so certain to give
instant relief as One Minute Cough Cure.
It can also be relied upon in grippe and
all throat and lung troubles of adults.

Clear Creek Letter.
Editor Press
Congratulate us. At last we have
been christened. It has grieved us sore,
that our llieh Valley correspondent has
uever given us mention in his weekly re
ports. As one of ltich Valley tributar
ies we felt entitled to a representation.
Have been uotified of our mistake, we
are "Clear Crackers." Now we have no
objection to the cognomen, and shall try
and show our record as clear as our title.
"We shall not need a commission to
investigate our social status. Like
Topsy we will fuss. We have our little
peccadilloes. For instance, when they
persisted in calling our handsomo turkey
gobbler, Bryan, we protested. He was
no lost cause. His only resemblance to
the silver tonged orator, was his desire to
boss the roost.
Alas, our Bonny Bird fell victim to
Thanksgiving gormandizing. We were
rather uon pleased when reminded, bleak
November had been death to all Bryan
ites. But as we plucked his glossy
plumage from his golden flesh, we got
in the woman's last word by the old
adage—silence is golden, he will never
gobble more. When you can assure
me Brvanism will follow suit we will
write his epitaph to J. B. The feud
ended.
All pleasantry aside, wc have been so
licited to write Clear Creek items for the
PRESS.
Very well, friends, with our good edi
tor's pertrision, we will represent you
now and then. Hope our record will
show up mighty in deeds, though few in
numbers.
We shall not remind you of past fol
lies, further than to say, hope the politi
cal waters of our Clear Creek will be
found sparklingly clear the coming year.
They were decidedly muddy or at least
ring-steaked and speckled in the last
campaign. We are no politician, further
than this, we honor a democrat when he
honors his party; we honor and admire
a Republican when he sticks to his
party, but have no use for the straddle
the fence man whose vote is worth just
the dime he can get for it. Now let us
e'ear away the cobwebs and be what our
name implies—clear, transparent, politi
cally, socially and otherwise. No better
time than now for good resolves, just as
we are entering upon a new year, the be
ginning of another century.

Christmas was a very quiet day here
this year, and really seemed that some
thing was wrong, with no shooting match
and no one drunk. The old eitizeus must
have felt very lonesome and homesick,
but it is very gratifying to note that the
closing of the century witnessed the ob
servance of one Christmas day in a man
