PERTINENT POLITICAL POINTS.
Railroads and islands both seem
to be going at bargain counter rates
this winter.
President McKinley has the
grippe, but Bryan wishes that he
oould have gotten it.
At any rate, we shall never have
to wade through a review of the
past century again.
What oil earth does Mars want
—if he is really signalling us. Can
it be that he wants to tell us where
Aguinaldo is ?
Mr. Bryan certainly understands
advertising, lie never misses an
opportunity to lug in the Commoner
in his speeches nowadays.
Prince Henry says he does not
want any Boni business in his, and
demands that Queen Wilhelmina
settle a good round sum upon him.
The Boer war is estimated to be
costing Britian $2,000 every three
minutes. This is pretty expensive
whether considered as an amuse
ment or as an investment.
If the Democrats win in 1904,
will Mr. Bryan claim the Lincoln
post office on the ground that he
has been editing the Commoner
there for four years?
Mrs. Lease has forgiven her hus
band for staying at home and at
tending to business while she was
off lecturing, and has withdrawn
her suit for divorce on the ground
of desertion.
The Christian Scientists have at
tempted to persuade women that
their love of dress is imaginary and
that rags are as good as fine rai
ment. Here, however, the system
broke down.
It is something of a question
whether Abdul's way of settling
debts or the meeting of the Hague
peace conference has been the
strongest factor in encouraging the
building of battleships this year.
This country may be bad enough
in summer, but it is at least pre
pared for winter, while Europe is
not. Americans abroad are suffer
ing far more from cold this year
than Europeans ever suffered over
here from heat.
Americans are admittedly at the
front of the world in electrical ap
pliances. They have achieved this
position by slow, steady progress,
the cumulative effect of thousands
of inventors, each of whom added
a little to progress, while making a
profit for himself.
The House of Representatives
will be increased by 20 members.
They cannot be seated in the pres
ent chamber without a radical re
form in the desk system that pre
vails. If a more common sense
plan thanthepresentone is brought
about by the increase, it will be
distinctly worth what it will cost.
To Cure a Cold in (hie Day
Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
All druggists retund the money if it fails
to cure. E. W. Grove's signature is on
each box. 25c. 2Glv
Of course, no one question* the
accuracy of Tammany's report on
vice collections. Evidently, there
were a number of smart men who
played the organization and the
vicious simultaneously, deceiving
both and making a profit out of
both. And of course Croker knew
nothing about it. Of course not.
It is not altogether creditable to
the fairness of Christianity that the
average person can see nothing to
be said on the Chinese side of the
question. Yet, if any other coun
try had triedto treat the United
States as the powers have treated
China for years, the entire country
would have gone mad with rage.
The British policy of devastation
in South Africa was begun on the
theory that the country was con
quered, and that the Boers should
be punished. No one objected to
it, until it turned out that the di
rect result was to stir up tlie war
again. Then John Bull began to
squeal, as he usually does when he
is hurt.
The Day After Election.
From the Hickory Ridge Missourian.
Floored!
Knocked outin the second round!
McKinley and the dinner pail
got there.
Gosh! Didn't they paste it to us
everlastingly!
'Twasn't our fault, though.
Hickory Ridge done noble.
Bryan said he was bound to win,
and we bet on his judgement.
And it cost us the best squirrel
dog in the whole State by jocks!
As we goto press the news is
that everything has gone Republi
can except h —ll and Texas.
For President 1904, Andrew
Jackson, of Tennessee. We've got
to get back to the old landmarks or
we'er wiped out.
We acknowledge a serenade by
the Republican Marching Club with
a brass band last night. It was
darned poor music, but we suppose
it was the 1 test they could do.
Thanks.
We are in favor of reorganizing
the Democratic party or abolishing
the whole shooting match. When
it's got so that we haven't any
principles of our own, and have to
take them second hand from a lot
of Kansas and Nebraska cranks and
granddady longlegs with yellow
! hair and their pants in their boots,
I who don't know anything but free
silver and calamity hooting, it's
time, by jingo, to call a new deal!
We're tired of holding the sack for
Republican snipe hunters. It's
going to be a blamed long, cold
winter for us this year. Wood,
coal and corncobs wanted on sub
scription, and wanted right now!

A Deep Mystery.
It is a mystery why women endure
backache, headache, nervousness, sleep
lessness, melancholy, fainting and dizzy
spells when thousands have proved that
Electric Bitters will quickly cure such
troubles. "I suffered for years with kid
ney trouble," writes Mrs. l'hebe Cherley,
of Peterson, la., "and a lame back pained
me so I could not dress myself, but Elec
tric Bitters wholly cured me, and, although
75 years old, I now am able to do all my
housework." It overcomes constipation,
improves appetite, gives perfect health.

D. F. Marsh is somewhat indisposed
—yes, grippe.
A very light winter we are having, but
most people complain of a heavy cold.
Thos. Hill and family are the guests
of his brother Martin Hill and family, at
this place.
Ethel Barr, who has been teaching
school at Huston Hill, is home at present
threatened with diphtheria.
Mrs. Russell, who has been ill for some
time, is slightly improved and will soon
enjoy her usual health, we hope.
Clarence Miller is nursing a smashed
toe which lie got while unloading ties at
Huntley, by a tie falling on it.
O. B. Tanner and C. W. Williams
have about one thousand ties ready for
hauling and a littte snow would make
them happy.
G. W. Tanner bought a beef hide, on
Christmas, from L. B. Russell, which
was a curiosity. In it was found two
large soup bones and a rock. When
they were removed Mr. Tanner was
convinced that he had paid for 13 lbs. of
hide that he didn't get.

One of our young men started to sur
prise his mother not long ago and lie did

Editor Press:—
Alex. DeSlietler, wife and daughter
will start uext week for a visit of several
weeks with relatives in Ohio.
The P. O. S. of A. will ~iold a ban
buet at their hall on this Wednesday
evening, exclusively for members with
their wives and sweethearts.
Mr. Frank Ticc is receiving the con-
gratulations of his friends with dignified
modesty but cannot conceal his joy and
pride at being papa of a pretty little
daughter.
As the licenses expire this week, our
hotels will be "dry" until new papers
are issued, but the liars club and zabo
band are laying in a stock so the drought
will not be a severe one.
Isaac Barber has imigrated again and
this time with Oklahoma as his objective
point, and if big trout and spike horn
bucks are abundant there, he says he
will stay a year. Ike is at home with
rod and gun.
Married—On Jan. 7th, Mr. George
Oakley, of Westfield, Tioga county, to
Miss Minnie Cloutz, of this place and on
Jan. 9th, Wm. S. Swartwood to Miss
Christine Lloyd. Cupid is now after
a couple of new victims, the fate of
whom I hope to write up later on.
That Sinnamahoning correspondent
for the Philadelphia North American is
evidently the possessor of a very fertile
imagination or else had been indulging in
a new brand of spiritns fermenti, as that
"write up" of the pedestrian club of this
place clearly shows. While no such club
as the one referred to exists in this town.
That scribe evidently belongs to the fa
mous C. L. C. For pure and adulter
ated rot that article takes the cake.

Clear Creek Letter.
Editor Preßß I
T. Dixon is on the sick list; better at
this writing.
What objection can the people have to
Mr. Hall for Supervisor? A man that can
attend to his own affairs so ably as he,
can surely be trusted to administer for
the public.
Mr. Isaac Ostrom. whose pleasure it is
to carry the school children to and from
school, can truly echo the old saying, with
a slight change, sweet Friday night, but
sour Monday morning, these days of mud
and rain.
Mark Wright had the misfortune to
nearly sever the first finger of the right
hand, while using a shredder last week.
No, he had plenty of corn stalks, and
says he believes they are better than fin
gers for a steady diet for cows. Muti
lated finger doing well under Dr. Her
man's treatment.
Emporium's loss, Clear Creek's gain.
Our new neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Cava
naugh—we find them very pleasant and
congenial people, and bespeak for them a
kindly welcome by all their neighbors;
also glad to report the convalescence of
their little daughter Irene, from a severe
attack of scarlet fever.
Charlie King is a hustler, sure. In
one afternoon and evening he filled an
ample ice house with ice, and now his
slothful neighbors are inviting themselves
over to eat ice cream next summer.
Chas. believes in never putting off till to
morrow what may be done to-day. An
example his neighbors now wish they had
followed.
You had our sympathy, Miss Evers,
this afternoon wlicu we saw you start on
your long, muddy walk townward. If
Clear Creek could boast of one young
geut he would have been at your service,
of course. That a valley teeming with
so many good things for the comfort of
our guests, and bankrupt in this is our
misfortune not our fault.
"Iloity, toity!" Stirred up a nest of
hornets here, in mid-winter. What do
we know about politics; better stick to
our suffrage hobby, and muddy coffee.
Ha, ha! Sold, my friend. We are no
advocate of female suffrage. Just step
in some morning and take breakfast with
a farmer's wife; you will find her coffee
amber clear, and of her own brewing; and
we will try to find a salve for the sore
corn we tread on in our late letter, and
for desert an apology will be relished by
your scribe.

Mother's 112 "t§
Friend ' rft
will do for every woman what it did for the
Minnesota mother who writes the above let
ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a
mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering.
Mother's Friend equips the patient with a
strong body and clear intellect, which in
turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes
the muscles and allows them to expand. It
relieves morning sickness and nervousness.
It puts all the organs concerned in perfect
condition for the final hour, so that the actual
labor is short and practically painless. Dan
ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether
avoided, and recovery is merely a matter ol
a few days.
