Editor Press:— Please announce that I am a candidate for Representative in the 59th Congress from the 21st Congressional District, subject to the rules of the Republican party. Very truly yours, S. R. DRESSER. Bradford, Pa., Feb. 2, 1901. COUNTY TREASURER. Editor Pr est: Please announce my nume as a candidate for County Treasurer, subject to the rules ofthe Re publican party. E. O. BARDWELL, M. D., Emporium, Pa , Feb. 16,1904. It is announced that the death of Senator Hanna has re leased all of his friends to Roose velt. Thus do the mysterious acts of Providence confound Ihe mis chief-making of marplots. The Chicago Coliseum where the Republican national convention will be held, June '_M, will seat 10,- 000 people. Some 'J.'iO desks for newspaper men will lie grouped in a semi-circle around the platform. Senator Gorman's relations with Isidor Kayner, the new Maryland Senator are very much strained. His presidential boom has become considerably weakened from the great strain upon it, the high wind blowing from an unexpected quarter. Richmond P. Hobson, who if running for Congress in Alabama, on the strength of trying to choke Santiago harbor with a collier, has challenged <' mgressman Bank head to meet him on the vociferous hust ings. Vociferosity is not Bank heads forte, and he declines. Senator Culloin desires a vote on the Panama treaty in the Senate within the next fortnight. His desires are likely to be gratified, as nearly all the Panama ammunition has been fired off and the air is full of smoke and various mephitic odors. Senator Hopkins, the auburn haired successor of "Billy Mason," addressed the Senate on the Bth on the Panama question, taking the position that the recognition of the new republic and the negotiation of the treaty were matters exclus ively for the President and outside the jurisdiction of the Senate. He said there had been fifty-eight rebellions in Panama in fifty years. He regarded President Roosevelt as one of the greatest men who had ever occupied the White House, and predicted that in an other generation Democratic Sena tors, in denouncing the Republi can president, would class Roose velt with Grant, Lincoln, and Wahington. Newton** Illne. It Is well known that under the ac tion of gravity the water composing such a thin shell as a soap bubble tends to run down on all sides, so that the walls of the bubble grow thin at the top and thicken toward the bottom. After a time the bubble becomes so thin at the top that further flow of wa ter from this point can hardly take place, and finally the bubble bursts, lint before tills lust stav.i' is reached a degree of thinness in the walls of the bubble is attained which causes it to glow with brilliant iridescent colors. Newton noticed that on lop of the thin bubble illuminated by white sky light a black spot is I'onned. With increase of thickness downward from this point on all sides, a red band next appears; then a blue one; then again reil and blue, red and blue, and so on, the col ors showing more extremes of red and purple in the higher orders. This blue Uand which first expands outward from the black spot at the top and descends slowly with the subsidence of the wa ter Newton called the "blue of the first order," and, although somewhat dingy, he judged it to be of the same tint as the blue of the sky.—T. J. J. See In At lantic. Inqulnltlve Illrd*. Of the birds undoubtedly the blue Jays have the most inqulsltiveness. And they are the most noisy in express ing It, although crows will hold a close second place, If not fully the equal. How the jays screeched and whistled and called—a confusion of all the sounds of jaydom—near my home! More than a dozen darted into a small evergreen tree on the lawn. People came from several houses in the vicin ity, all curious to know what was the matter with the birds. It seemed to be a "want to know"on both sides. The jays had discovered a cat walking meekly along by the fence in the low shrubbery near and under the spruce tree. There was no nest Iu the vicinity, and, so far as could be ascertained, the cat had not attacked the jays. But what a pandemonium of jay jargon over one meek looking quiet cut! The jays outdid themselves and called out nearly all the occupants of the many houses on that street.—St. Nicholas. To Keatore Leather IlinillnKN. To restore the leather bindings of books wash them first very lightly and carefully with clean warm water in which a tiny piece of soda has been dissolved, in order to free the leather from grease; then wash with clear wa ter to remove the soda, and dry. Dis solve a bit of gum arable the size of a small bean In a teaspoonful of water and beat It up with a teaspoonful of the white of an egg. With a bit of sponge go lightly over the leather with this glair and let it dry. Should the glair froth up on the leather, as it is very likely to do if there Is much tool work on the book, dab It until it subsides with the palm of the hand or with the sponge squeezed as dry as possible. Her Male Friend*. One of the most complicated duties of a wife is the shuffling off of her hus band's male friends, says the Ladies' Field. Fifty per cent can go at once, for half a man's bachelor associates are, according to his wife, not fit for polite society, either because they have no manners or because they wear the wrong sort of collars. Ten per cent she may genuinely dislike, or possibly they may not lake to her. Some of the rest are on the borderland of toleration, but: most of them have a knack of dropping off by slow degrees. Possibly this is the inward and spiritual mean ing of the farewell bachelors' dinner most intending bridegrooms give, though they never realize it at the time. Tile I.lon Didn't Itonr. It is related that I'innow, the faith ful servant and personal valet of Prince Bismarck, once trod on his master's gouty foot. Instead of swearing at him or even declaring he was a clumsy fool, Bismarck, noticing that I'innow himself was frightened, said: "Consid er yourself honored. No other person, my dear I'innow, not even the kaiser himself, would have been suffered to tread on my corns." Somet It iiiw Wnn. Rivers was smoking a cheap cigar. "Seems to me," said Brooks, "I smell something like cloth burning." But Rivers was game, lie touched the lighted end of his cigar to bis shirt sleeve.

B. 8., is tak ing a much needed vacation and is much wide in the face, Is nursing a good old fashioned dose of mumps. 11 there should be a nigger in our wood pile we will run onto him by the way it is being consumed these frigid days. The consumption is simply enormous. That estimable car that brings the pay to the employees of the P. B. It., ar rived Tuesday evening, and presented the faithful with their coin, after which the officials repaired to the mineral spring and freely imbibed of its product. The estimable lady teacher Miss Maloy, of the Barr school, has a bran new broom and is prepared to take in sweeping. Don't all speak at once. We sometimes look up a tree that there might be a wedding bell ring from the top. All we can wish is much joy, and every year a trip to Troy. The Emporium Lumber Co., have temporarily suspended operations here on account of the poor sleighing A few inches of snow would be a very conven ent article to have this present time.

They say it will not be necessary for candidates to be balloted far—only so they have the price. Election day passed so quietly by. Seemed like it being the seventh day of the week. By the dry looking faces their mnst have been a scarcity of the o-bejoyful fluid furnished by the candi dates. No one was beaten. Train dispatcher, Mr. Mathewsou oc cupies the position here at the R. It., Station, in place of agent Mayer. Mr. Mathewson was agent here twenty-six years ago. The changes that have oc cured in this lapse of time in this place he says is wonderful and says it seems as though the creek ran the other way from now. TIPACANOO. Sizerville. Pa.. Feb. IG, 1904. Parfect Confidence. Where there used to be a feeling of uneasiness and worry in the household when a child showed symptons of croup, there is now perfect confidence. This is owing to the uniform success of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy in the treatment of that disease. Mrs M.l. Bastord, of Poolesville, Md., in speaking of her ex perience in the use of that remedy says: "I havea word of confidence in Chamber lain's Cough Remedy for 1 have used it with perfect success. My child Garland is subject to severe attacks of croup and it always gives him prompt relief." For sale by Jno. E. Smith, Sterling Run. Faith never defies fate. How a Doctor was Cured. "For two years I was troubled with with lumbago, or pain across my kidneys, the pain shooting down my thigh (espec ially on taking cold the pain would be terrible), a continual ginding, aching pain. One bottie of Thompson's Bar osnia, Backache, Liver and Kidney Cure gave me immediate relief. I am now taking Barosma with great benefit as it reduces all inflamation of the stomach, liver and bladder, the great organs that regulate the whole system and purify the blood.'"—Dr. A. S.

S., are in dead earnest to stop illegal bunting and fulling, but don't seeui to take any steps to protect fish, from I'otter Co's industries yet, and they kill more fish in one year, than were ever oaught by fisherman, out of season.

Several of Cameron Co., citizens have a bearing before the judge in Clearfield Co., this week for illegal hunting on Karthaus mountain last fall. As next week is court in Cameron Co., we are looking for developments along that line in this section, as there was some of that kind of work here last fall.

The only possibly way to get this poison out of the blood is to treat the kidneys, so when they are diseased or not acting properly, the uric acid passes from the kidneys into the blood. Thompson's Barosma or Kidney Cure acts quickly, taking up the uric acid, curing the kid neys and restoring them in their normal functions. Thompson's Barosma is pleasaut to take. For sale by It. C.
