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.

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.

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.

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,

Editor Press:—
Beautiful weather to gather in oats.
Mrs. J. O. Jordan is very sick.
Ed Russell is at liis father's nursing
an abcess on his knee.
Potatoes are selling here for the sum of
$l4O per bushel. It appears that the
crop is a failure.
Mrs. Buss. Russell is keeping house
for Mrs. J. M. English, while she takes
her western trip.
Quite a large delegation of young peo
ple from Huston Hill attended church
here on Sunday evening.
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. Tanner and son George, ac
companied by his venerable father and
Mr. Geary, of Lock Ilaven, drove to
Huntley on Sunday to see Will Nelson,
who is suffering with a broken leg.
Mrs. J. M. English and Mrs. C.
Scudder, a sister, left on Tuesday for
Lancing, Michigan to visit a sister.
They will be gone for an indefinite time
and on their return will visit other places
of note and take in the Pan-Am. no
doubt.
Died, at Huntley, July 29, Mrs. Mary
Jordan, aged, 8-1 years. The funeral
was largely attended by friends and rela
tives. Rev. Mr. Ilause, of M. E. church
preached the funeral sermon, assisted by
Rev. Mr. Steel of the W. M. 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. Antrum struck a great lead on
rattlesnakes last Saturday, killing six in
one bunch and one in a bunch by him
self—all large ones. He has the skins
and rattles to prove that this is no snake
story.
Mr. and Mrs D. D. Colcord returned
on Saturday Irom the Colcord-Peet
family reunion, bolow Couderspoat, at
the old Taggart farm. They report a
good time but attendance smaller than
common.
Bark peeling is about closed for the
season also haying and harvesting. Oats
is a liirht crop and potatoes are very
much so.
The drilling tools for our oil well
(which has been standing still for some
time, are on the road.
