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.
"No wonder," lie said, exhibiting the
burned spot.—< 'hicago Tribune.

"You think a great deal of your hus
band, don't you?" said the visiting
relative.
"You have the wrong preposition,"
answered Mr. Meekton's wife, with the
cold tones of the superior woman. "I

Mrs. Peterson, made a flying trip

Saturday.
F. 11. Mayer, agent I'. 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

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.

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.
Two weeks of good sleighing they would
finish their hauling to the switch.
Charlie Weller is entertaining his
rural New Yorker from Buffalo, in per
son of Mr. Fritz Weiland. Mr. W. says
"dish blace he be no good, no brewery,

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.

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. Ilubbard. !)4

The L. A. S., are in dead earnest to
stop illegal bunting and fulling, but don't

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

kind of work here last fall. Some people
who think the game law of Pennsylvania
a dead letter will know more about it
after having a hearing before a court.

was less than 61.20 per gallon.
Saved over eighty ($80.00) dollars in
paint, and got a big dona'ion besides.

Letter to H. A. Zarps & Co.

Dear Sirs: The cheap paint to buy in
the one that covers more than you think;
the cheap one to wear is the one that is
young when old.
Mrs. Moore, of Kelsey, N. Y., bought
1(3 gallons Devoo to paint her house two

Had (> gallons left.
Mr. James Aekley's bouse, in Cairo,

Do It To-Day.
The time-worn injuction, "Never put
off 'til to morrow what you can do to
day," is now generally presented in this
form: "Do it today!" This is the terse
advice we want to give you about that
hacking cou»h or demoralizing cold with
which you have been struggling tor sev
eral days, perhaps weeks. Take some
reliable remedy for it to-day—and let
that remedy be Dr. Bosehee's German
Syrup which has been in use for over
thirty-five years. A few doses of it will
undoubtedly relieve your cough or cold,
and its continued use tor a few days will
cure youcompletely. No matter how
deep-seated your cough, cvtn if dread
consumption has attacked your lungs
German Syrup will surely effect a cure—
as it has hone before in thouaands of ap
parently hopeless cases of lung trouble.
Now trial bottles, 25c; regular size, 75c,

Escaped an Awful Fate.
Mr. 11. Iliggins, of Me.bourne, Fla.,
writes, "My doctor told me I had Con
sumption and nothing could be done for
me. I was given up to die. The offer
of a trial bottle of Dr King's New Dis
covery for Consumption, induced me to
try it. Results were startling. I am
cow on the rood to recovery and owe all
to Dr. King's New Discovery. It surely
saved my life." This great euro is guar
anteed for all throat and lung diseases by
I J. Taggart, Druggist. Price 50c and

Don't dally what your purpose. Go

Better Than Gold.
"I was troubled tor several years with
chronic indigestion and nervous debility,"
writes F. J. Green, of Lancaster, N. 11.
"No remedy helped me until I began
using Electric Bitters, which did more
good than all the medicines I ever used.
They have also kept my wife in excel
lent health for years. She says Electric
Bitters are just splendid for female
troubles; that they are a grand tonic and
invigorate lor weak run down woman
No other medicine can take its place in
our family." Try them. Only 50c.
Satisfaction guaranteed by L. Taggart.
If you hate another it is slow suicide
for yourself.
When You Have a Cold.
The first action when you have a cold
should be to relieve the lungs. This is
best accomplished by the free use of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. This
Remedy liquefies the tough mucus and
causes its expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs, produces a free expectoration,
and opens the secretions. A complete
cure soon follows. This remedy will
cure a severe cold in less time than any
other treatment and it leaves the system
in a natural and healthy condition. It
counteracts any tendency toward pneu
monia. For sale by L. Taggart.
The game of divorce is not worth the
scandal.
Discovery Concerning Rheumatism.
It is now known positively that rheu
matism is caused by uric acid in the
blood. 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.
