EDITORIAL HENTION.
The war lias stopped all dancing
in Russia. They are inclined to
make the Japanese do the dancing.
"I have not yet pawned my over
coat," says Sully, the dethroned
cotton king. But haven't his
victims made the acquaintance of
nay Uncle? In hock signo vincit.
Judge Parker of New York is
far in the lead of Democratic presi
dential cadidates with members of
Congress. But his chance of lead
ing them to victory may be said to
be small.
If, as now seeuis likely, the St.
Louis, convention is to indorse the
last two Democratic national plat
form, there is but one logical can
didate—William Jennings Bryan,
and apparently it is Bryan or Bolt.
The trial of Judge Swayne ought
not to bo avoided by abolishing his
office. That is not brave, or just.
Moreover, and impeachment with
the llonse prosecuting and the
Senate sitting as judges would be
an educational novelty to the
present generation ot Americans.
Vermont towns are enforcing
their no-license laws since maple
sap has started. "Vermont men,
women, maple-sugar and horses.
The first are strong, the last are.
fleet, the second and third are ex
ceedingly sweet, aud all are very
Lard to beat," as Saxe said.
Senator Bard of California wants
Congress to offer a large prize aud
a large annual salary to the best
weather prophet in the United
States to be settled by competitive
predictions for thirty days. If the
bill passes, the guessing-bee will
begin at New Year's. The present
Weather Bureau is regarded by
Congress as being a monumental
failure, although it can generally
foretell what the weather was
yesterday, or even the day before.
Secretary Taft has a wealthy
brother who is an art collector and
connoisseur. He recently pur
chased a Corot, "La Soil-," for
17.),000, and a Dias, "Autumn
Forest of Fontainebleu," for $35,-
000. The former sum is a good
deal to pay for one evenings enter
tainment, and the latter would
have purchased an immense bona
fide forest.
hy does not the Democratic
convention put forth a Confederate
veteran for President? Is it a
crime to be born in the South?
W hat is the matter with Senator
Cockrell of Missouri, "Brig. Gen.
C. S. A"., and successor in the
Senate of Carl Schurz! He is call
ed "The Wise Man" by his col
leagues. There is Gorman, of
course, but he distinctly shunned
service, perferring a clerkship
throughout the Civil War. And
now he has helped Maryland to
violate the Constitution in dis
franchising the negroes. No, give
us the genuine article!
Letter to Ch&s. Seger.
Emporium, Pa.
Dear Sir: The cheapest thing in the
way of sending anything over the world
is a postage stamp; and the cheapest way
to shed water is paint.
Not whitewash; paint. Do you happen
to know—it don't belong to your busi
ness to know about paint, you know—do
you happen to know that most of the
makers of paint stuff it out with lime
and clay and sand and water and air?
They do stuff it out in the can; but not
on the house. They make more gallons
to sell or to buy; more money to pay for
paint; more money to pay for putting it
on; a good deal more money to pay for
putting it on; but no more beauty; more
rust; decay; disappointment; loss.
Devoe is your paint, because it's all
paint, no sham, and full-measure.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEVOE & Co.
P. S. Murry and Coppersmith sell
our paint. 18.
Love needs no lexicon.
A disordered stomach may cause no
end ot trouble. Wht n the stomach fails
to perform its functions the bowels be
come deranged, the liver and kidneys con
gested, causing numerours diseases, the
mnet fatal of which are painless and
therefore the more to be.dreaded. The
important thing is to restore the stomach
and liver to a healthy condition, and for
this purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlain's Stomach and
Liver Tablets. For sale by L. Taggart.
Eternal hustle is the price of success.
The best physic: Chamberlain's
Stomach and Liver Tablets. Easy to
take; pleasant in effect. For sale by Jno.

A soft answer may bo a stiff argument.
Httauit of a Railroad Accident.
Wdi. L. Maynard, of Centerville, Pa.,
for 20 years suffered a great deal of pain
in the side and over the hips, caused by
being crushed between the ears. After
doing a little work he would always pass
gravel. Five years ago he used three
bottles of Thompson's Barosnia, Kidney
and Liver Cure and was completely cured,
having had no return of the disease
since. For sale by 11. C. Dodson.
The time to boost is when you think
you don't need to.
Hobbed the Grave.
A startling incident, is narrated by
John Oliver of Philadelphia, as follows:
"I was in an awful condition. My skin
was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue
coated, pain continually in baek and
sides, no appetite, growing weaker day
by day. Three physicians had given
me up. Then I was advised to use
Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the
first bottle made a deccided improvement.
I continued their use tor three weeks,
aud am now a well man. I know they
robbed the grave of another victim."

A Great Bensation.

SNOW DROP.
First Fork..
Editor Press:
Early last Wednesday morning, Mr.
Louck's house was found to be on fire
but, the tire Co., soon put two stream on.
so it only burned a hold in the roof.
Same afternoon a prairie fire started from
Fred Williams' sugar camp, and went up
across the country, but the prompt ar
rival of the firemen soon got ii under
control, with but slight damage to tools
and fences.
There was quite an excitement caused
here by the report that Jamison was com
ing up the R. R. track, from Lorsh
baugh. Cliff Pfoutz, a brother of the
youug man who was shot in the "melee"
at Jamison's house, and Nick Vorbeck
went down the R. R. to meet him and
give a signal if it was him, but they
didn't kDow this man. After he passed
First Fork the news got out that Jami
son had gone up the road and a lot of
men took after him and followed liiin up
to Bailey Run, when they found out it
was au old soldier living, in a shanty be
law Blow vi lie. Being prettv well
"blown" by the chase, they made a foot
raft aud came home. They are already a
pretty ashamed lot, I forbear to mention
any names. The man draws a pension
and when the men overtook him one of
the parties in the chase, knew him and
disposed of another Jamison episode. It
might be possible but hardiy probable
that Jamison would be walking along
the public road in the middle of the day
when so many parties here know him.
Barclay's floating "shacks" arc lying
at First Fork switch, and the water is
pretty low already tor driving logs or
breaking laudinas.
M. J. Colcord, of the Potter Journal,
visited his father between trains one day
last week.

Best Cough Medicine For Children.
When you buy a cough remedy for
small children you want one in which you
can place implicit confidence. You want
one that not only relieves but cures. You
want one that is unquestionally harmless.
You want one that is pleasant to take.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy meets all
of these conditions. There is nothin"
so good for the colds incident to child
hood. It is also a certain preventative and
cure of croup, and there is no danger
whatever from whooping cough when it
is given. It has been used in many
epidemics of that disease with perfect
success. For sale by L. Taggart.

Sciatic Rheumatism Cured.
"I have been subject to sciatic rheu
matism for years," says E. H. Wa'dron,
of Wilton Junction, lowa. "My joints
were stiff and gave me much pain and
discomfort. My joints would crack
when I straightened up. I used Cham
berlain's Pain Balm and have been thor
oughly cured. Have not had a pain or
ache from the old trouble for many
months. It is certainly a most wonder
ful liniment." For sale by Jno. E.
Smith, Sterling Run.
The best kind of hope is that whi S
lends a hand.
Nothing Equal to Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (or
Bowel Complaint* in Children.
"We have used Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrbosa Remedy in our
family for years," says Mrs. J. B. Cooke,
of Nederlands, Texas. "We have given
it to all of our children. We have used
other medicines for the same purpose,
but never found anything to equal Cham
belain's. If you use it as directed it will
always cure. For sale by L. Taggart.
