President Lincoln's walking stick was sold recently at public auction in New York for $145. In order not to be outdone by Panama, Colombia now offers to give us the canal rights free. Too late. Senator Lodge has introduced a bill in Congress barring out all im migrants over 15 years old who cannot read and write English. The Dreyfus affair is about to be reopened in France, owing to the recent discovery of several forged documenis used in tbe former trials. Senator Gorman's attitude on the race question is not approved '».y the Northern democrats, who are now talking of Judge Parker, Hearst or Olney for the democratic nomination. Senator Depew saj's lie would like to see William Randolph Hearst nominated by the demo cratic party, but does not explain that it is because he will be the easiest man to beat. William J. Bryan iecently took lunch with Joseph Chamberlain, but as the former colonel secretary probably never read the common er's remarks on the Boer War, he did not appreciate the humor of the situation. Senator Morgan made a violent attack on the President's Panama policy and Senator Carmack tried to radicule the Cuban reciprocity bill, yet the democratic party does uot dare oppose the Administra tion in either of these measures. Sautos-Dumont, the worlds most successful aeronaut, is about to start for America to make arrange ments for the aeronautic competi tion to be held at tbe St. Louis Ex position. It is believed by many that he will secure the first prize. The Panama newspapers are urging the new Government to oc cupy all the islands near the coast In the Caribbean Sea, as the United Status might later be induced to buy them for coaling stations While Uncle Sam pays cash for anything they have to sell, he will be popular with the small Central or South American republics. Captain Hobson has prepared a bill to be introduced in the House which would make the United States the greatest naval power in the world. All that it requires is an appropriation of $2,750,000,000. Tbe naval hero fails to realize that there is no good reason why the United States should have the larg est navy in the world. During a short tour abroad Wil liam J. Bryan will study the social and economic questions of Eng land, Germany, France and Italy. He will publish in his paper the results of his study, and his fol lowers will doubtless regard him a« the first authority on foreign affairs. The "peerless leader" will probably publish lots of advice to Secretary Ilay on questions of European diplomacy. Bilious Colio Prevented. Pake a double dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as jMKin as the first indication of the disease appears and a threatened attack may he warded off.

'l'he Philadelphia "Press" hits the nail sijuarely on the head in its editorial com ment on Congressman Palmer's recent declaration against the buying ot politi cal nominations, when it says:"lt the citizens of the county who feel as Mr., Palmer does and who have equal cour age in declaring themselTeß,»rill take this matter up and organize to put a stop to it by every means known to the law, the barter and sale of votes in conventions and elections will be made so dangerous that none will dare attempt. The work should not stop with opposition to those who purchase nominations. A tew con victions and proper punishment will go farther and last longer." True, every word of it. Mere talk ou boodling is idle, except insofar as it stirs up honest minded citizens to determined legal action against the men who buy and sell votes. Boodling will continue until a few of the boodlcrs are landed behind bars. Then the business is recognized as dangerous and will become unpopular. Sterling Run. Will we soon hear the wedding bells?

By ex tra efforts of our citizens the store and dwelling of D. P. Baird, which stood close to the fire were saved. The cause of the fire was a defective flue in an up per room.

The worn-oat stomach of the over fed millionaire is often paraded in the public prints as a horrible example of the evils attendant on the possession of great wealth. Bat millionaires are not the only ones who are afflicted with bad stomachs. Tbe proportion is far greater among the toilers. Dys pepsia and indigestion are rampant among these people,and they suffer far worse tortures than the millionaire on. less they avail themselves of a stand ard medicine like Green's August Flower, which has been a favorite household remedy for all stomach troubles for over thirty five years. Au gust Flower rouses the torpid liver, thus creating appetite and insuring perfect digestion. It tones and vital izes the entire system and makes life worth living, no matter what your sta tion.
