WALTER YOTHERS. Driftwood, Pa., July 17th, 1901. EDITORIAL NENTION. Jinky Jones says the next President will be a Democrat. Haw! Haw! Haw! + + + + A Washington man has complained to the police against a neighbor who plays "The Holy City" morning, noon and nigln. He sayß it is well done but that even religion palls after a while in this hot weather. t t From all accounts, the drough that cut the corn crop down one-third has produced the largest wheat crop on record. Further, as wheat has failed elsewhere in the world, this large crop will bring big prices. + + + + The people of the United States are shocked and horrified at the revelations by prominent jurists of the prevalence of perjury. It is safe to say that laymen have not suspected such a state of affairs and are reluctant to believe it possible. The remedy, however, lies in the hands of the courts. There is law enough to stop it; what is wanted is its execution. 4- 4- + + Secretary Root haa called on army officers for reports as to the effect of canteen abolition. This evidence will have the very greatest weight except with those unfortnnato people who re fuse to believe any testimony that does not square with their preconceived opinions. ■f "t" + + When it is conceived how enormous & proportion of the human race is suf fering from tuberculosis, it is not wonderful that the advocates of segre gation are finding it so hard to advance their wishes. Yet it must come to this sooner or later, now that it is under stood that consumption is not heredi tary, but is contagious. Capitol Building Commission. Governor Stone has disarmed all criticism in his selection of the Capitol Building Commission, says the Harris burg Telegraph. He has cut the ground from under the fault-finding news papers and individuals and left them absolutely no excuse for complaint. It would be difficult for Governor Stone or any other official to select from the body of the citizens of this Common wealth four men better qualified for this important service than those whom he has chosen. Even the opposition press admits that the commissioners selected are above reproach. The Gov ernor has done well. It is a wise provision ofthe law which makes the commission a continuous body. Governor Stone, Congressman Graham, Dr. SchaefTer, Mr. Bailey and Senator Snyder, unless they should resign from the commission, will re main on it until January Ist, 1905, even though the commissions of those who are now in office should expire before that date. It means the continuance of a commissions which will from the very first become familiar with the work and consequently be in close touch with it through all stages until its final com pletion. Three of the members of the commission will be on the ground all of the time —Stone, SchaefTer and Bailey— and the other two will be here from time to time, as the commission meets for tho transaction of business, so that at all times they will know exactly what is being done. If the law had provided, as the original act did, that the board of Public Buildings and Grounds and certain other officials should constitute the commission, and that as they retired from office their successors Bhould become members of the building commission, there would have been a constant changing of the personnel of the commission. Old members familiar with the work would give way to new men who knew noth ing at all about it and would be in total ignorance of what had been done. A continuous commission is what was wanted and the present one will remain in commission until the work is finish ed, including Governor Stone, who will retire from the executive's chair in January, 1903, but who will continue to lend his counsel and advice until the completion of the work of building the new Capitol. Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. C , was once immensely surprised. "Through long suffering from Dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She bad no strength or vigor and suffer ed great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and, after using four bottles, she is entirely well, can cat anything. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For Indigestion, Loss of Appetite, Stom ach and Liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed cure. Only 50c at L. Tag garts. Letter to I. K. Hockley. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: You give full weight of good coal. So do we—23l inches to a gallon of paint that lasts twice as long as old fashion painters paint, lead and oil; and allow our agent to sell them on this guarantee. "If you have any trouble with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear tell your dealer about it. "We authorize him to do what is right at our expense." We know a dealer in coal, who deliv ered his coal with a public weigher's ticket (full weight) invited complaints, and actually exchanged the coal when complaint was made. He had half the business; a dozen firms had the other half. We are 146 years old, but not too old to sell paint as that dealer sold coal. We like to pay damages—when there are any. Yours truly, 45 F.

The cattle plague has broken out in our neighborhood. Mr. Marsh has lost four, and J. 0. Jordan has a very sick cow. Mr. Kinworthy paid his many friends a visit here over Sunday and says he has a drift most opened ou A. S. Ilieks' farm, llustin Hill.where coal can be got ten cheap. O. B.

Thus the old land marks are passing away. First Fork. 11. W. Marti ndale, of Sizerville Springs notoriety, has been in the real estate business in this section the past week, and has purchased uncle Jimmie O'Brien's place, or that part of it, east of the highway; consideration 82,000. lie has also purchased the Wash. Bailey place at mouth of brooks Run from Jas. Mundy. We hear that the price was 82,500 or upwards. Mr. Martindale. it is said, will build a big hotel at the latter place. The M. T. Sibcrt farm at the mouth ot East Fork has been sold to F. 11. Goodyear, and there are a good many rumors in the air in regard to what is going up there—all the way from R. R. shops to summer resorts, etc. John Seibert is selling oft' the stock on the place and it was reported last night that all the cattle not sold bad died very sud denly. If so it will be quite a loss to Mr. Seibert as he had some fine stock. After a visit of a few weeks' Alrnou Williams expects to return to his home in South Dakota this week. He is go ing to visit friends in New York statp and .Michigan on his way home and also take in the Pan-Am., Niagara Falls, etc. He expects his brother A.R. tojaccompany him as far as Buffalo. Geo.
