It was an im- portant measure, too much so, to pass the defeat off as an “oversight,” or a “mis take.” In our opinion it was a premedi- tated piece of villiany against the taxe payers of the state for which no punish- ment can be too severe, Sift it to the bottom, HALL, PA, THE SEMI-MONTHLY PAY BILL.

She accompanied him to the hospital watching him as tenderly as if she had the kindest husband in the world, while the body of her murdered child was being prepared for burial by an undertaker. th ccliefcbaecnen ASTONISHING SUCCESS, It is the duty of every person who has used Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and lung diseases. No yreon oan use it without immediate re- lief. Three doses will relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Drug- gists to recommend it to the poor, dying Sonssinbtive, at least to try one bottle, as 80,000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and not one case where it failed was re- portde.
