She stopped coughing and got stout and fat,'' writes Mrs. Ora Bussard, Brubaker, 111. This remedy is for sale by L. Taggart; J. E.

Mrs. (iilbert Morse of Emporium, who has been visiting her son, \V. II Morse, returned home Saturday. J. P. Lynch, one of the Pennsy j plumbers from llenovo shops, placed the j heating furnace in the cellar of the new 1 tower Saturday. .\ is*t Supervisor, I!. 11. Robb, of j Driftwood, was looking over the water line i to furnish the station anil tower with ; spring water. J. If. Robinson spent a few hours in j Driftwood Sunday, among friends. A. A.

Bosa Lawson. of Beech wood, is visiting j her sister, Mrs. Robinson, this week. j ■ Wm. Wykoff is helping in the erection ' of William Hatha way's new house, which j is being built on the old Strawbridge i farm, about two miles below here. Mr.!

The ladies were: Hulua Olscu, Mesdamcs y Dr. Becht in the en deavor to make good spellers out of the "rising generation; incidentally, too,in the course of his remarks the speaker paid liis respects to the list of the three hundred words spelled phonic-ally and endorsed so enthusiastically by our presi dent. Dr. Green followed Dr. Becht with a most charming talk on"The Westminister Abby," which was quite as enjoyable, and far less ex pensive, than an actual visit, to that most inter esting building. Prof. Yoder sang a solo and was so happy in hlssslection and rendition that an encore was vigorously demanded. Prof. Yoder complied with the demand and gave a very humorous little song, that was much en joyed. Thursday morning session opened with devotional exercises by Rev. Robertson of the Episcopol church, followed by singing. Dr. Green occupied the lirst period and to the un disguised pleasure and profit went hand in hand. I)r. Howerth spoke during the next period on •'Educational Forces"—the ones touched on be ing Heredity, Environment and Effort. The committee on the reading course for the next year, reported the two books selected to bs Reci tation by Dr. Hamilton and Essentials in Ameri can History. Prof. Yoder sang a solo, "Swing ing in the Grapevine swing," enjoyed by all. Dr. Becht added to his talk on "What in Arith metic," by mentioning some of the useless sub jects that could with mutual profit to teacher and pupil be omitted from our text books. The afternoon session opened promptly at 1:30 with singing. Dr. Howerth spoke during the first period on "A Literal Education," less frills, less obtruce, more real everyday material that can be used in every walk of life. Miss Collins then introduced Prof. Ira N. McCloskey of Clinton county who responded in a few well chosen words. Dr. Becht spoke during the next period on"The Gospel of the Higher Education," proving conclusively to all that it pays to be edu cated, and if Uie pay corresponds to the amount of education, uic most sordid mind must appre ciate the fact that ' Education Pays." This was Dr. Becht's last talk and was a most powerful plea for the birthright of every child—on educa tion. Prof. Yoder sang a fine solo and respond, ed to an encore. Dr. Green occupied the last period with "A Peep at a Century of Literature." a most charming talk on geneial lines, highly enjoyed. Friday morning, tne last session of Institute was opened by music afier which Dr. Green led in prayer. The first period of this session was chosen by Dr. Green for his farewell address, the subject being "October in Literature." He strongly urged upon ilie teachers the choosing of reading lessons to fit in with existing conditions, also the observance of noted birthdays occurring in October. Dr. Howerth followed with a last talk, his subject being "The Finished Product." The Dr. Spoke of the value of concentration in education, even to such a degree as to produce absentinicdedness, that being but a temporary result of a lasting benefit, also of the value of teaching the child to express himself clearly, concisely and with exactness, and of the import ance of an aesthetic and social trainingin school. Miss Collins read a letter from Senator Landis iu regard to the Stevens Memorial, in which he stated that Cameron county, averaged higher in contribution than any other county, concluding .Miss Collins spoke a few of farewell to the teach ers in which she urged upon them the great im portance ol attending the Educational Reunions, of being faithful in their work and keeping ever before them a high standard. At the conclusion of her remarks, the tilth annual Instititute of Cameron county stood adjourned lor the last time. The evening entertainments given (luring In stitute week, as a part of the same, were of a high order and were unanimously enjoyed by all in attendance. While all were of a high grade, there were certain features of each that were epecially enjoyed, as for instance the fine quartette singing of the DaKoven's and the solo of "Sing met) Slejp;" Hi violin playiug of Miss Blanch Sears 011 Tuesday night and the "Dainty Dolly Vardea" of Thursday night. Wednesday night's entertainment, "A Lecture on Panama," proved to be an evening ot reaj pleasure and profit, during which his hearers gained a vividly clear conception of Panama and the stupendous work being carried 011 there.

Committee. The Capitol's Cost Will Soon be Known. I. W. BTKAYBR, Stair Correspondent of Pitts- | burg Gazett«-Tim#»s. HARRISBURG, PA., Oct. 19.—A com plete and thorough investigation of j every official act of the capitol com mission and of public grounds and j buildings commission in connection i with the new state capitol will be made ! by a legislative committee. There is sufficient authority for making this flat j statement, although no member of the j state administration or of the lngisla- I ture cares to take the responsibity of 1 saying so at this time. But sentiment ! in this direction is so strong there is j no longer any doubt on the subject, The investigation is sure to come, j but it will not be forced by the Demo crats. It will be carried through at i the instance of Republicans who refuse ! to lie under the charges and irisinua- j tious of State Treasurer Berry and the fusionists. Republican state officials ! and Republican legislators believe the j new capitol was erected honestly and: that there was no graft in it. And j they feel the only way to prove this j beyond any reasonable doubt is by a legislative investigation. ' On the other hand if such investiga tion should disclose crookedness of any j sort, then the Republicans want the j crooks tagged and prosecuted, Gov. J Pennypacker and Attorney General j Carson stand pledged to the punish- j ment of any guilty man. Hence the wild and unsupported ! charges of Treasurer Berry upon the j stump amount to nothing. Within , three months the whole truth will be j known. If there has been overcharge, j fraud or substitution of inferior mater- j ials in the capitol building the people j will know it. And if, as Gov. Penny- ' packer and other members of the com- j monwealth believe, the work has been j done honestly and fa!Vly, then Mr. ! Berry will stand convicted of misrepre- i sentation and of uttering false state- ■ ments for political effect. Council Proceedings. Special meeting Borough Council, Emporium, Oct. 22nd, 1900.
