WANAMAKER'S SPEECH
To the Farmers at Williams Grove.—Cor-
rupt State Government.
Wanamaker to the farmers at Will-
inmsgrove :
“Indisputable figures are at hand to
show that economic management o
State affairs will decrease your taxes
thirty-five per cent. And could you
obtain legislation restoring to you the
rights that have been sold from you,
and enact laws to adjust the inequali-
ties of present conditions, you could
save still more.
“It is not more crops, but less taxes,
that farmers of Pennsylvania need to
make them prosperous,
“The criminal daring involved in
this political machine work and man-
ipulation of franchises will not aston-
ish you if I repeat here the common
report for years past, that certain of
the most active bosses are under the
constant watch and tutelage of promi-
nent State attorneys to keep guard to
warn them of vital danger and save
them from the jail door.”
It is not my fancy only that sees the
deep shadows of anxiety upon your fa-
and costly government of Pennsylva-
nia, and your disgrace that Pennsyl-
vania politically is only a cemetery for
its freemen. You allowed our young,
hopeful men to be fed on gravel stones
until their teeth were broken. The
doctors and nurses of polities in our
State have nursed the youth with a
wolf's care, and when they could not
suck their blood they strangled them. |
The candle of hope has almost gone |
out in Pennsylvania. You have suf-
fered so long the interlopers of your
righis a right of way over your posses- |
sions until they now deny your own-
ership. You have cruelly slept in the
delusion that by a Quay
promised miracle the tares that were
machine- |
sowing might raise a crop of wheat. |
You have occasionally mowed down
some of the weeds here and there, but
never pulled them up by the roots and
plowed and sowed the fields for thaok- |
ful harvesting.

Var List of Dead,
The official records of the war de-
partment as far as completed, show
that there were thirty-three officers
and 231 enlisted men of the army, 264
in all, killed in battle during the war
with Spain.
These casualties include all the lives
lost in the army in the battles in the
Philippines as well as those in Cuba
and Porto Rico.

HEINLE NOMINATED FOR SENATOR
The Demoecrtic senatorial conference
met at Lock Haven yesterday. Three
sessions were held and in the evening
on the 156th ballot, Clearfield voted
with Centre for Heinle, while Clinton,
being instructed, voted for Klough,
making the vote Heinle 6, Klough 3.
This nomination is well placed and
the conference made no mistake, Wm.
C. Heinle is an able, working Demo-
cratic veteran deserving the compli-
ment and nomination. The Reporter
was the first to suggest Mr. Heinle for
senator, and we are pleased to find
this endorsement by the conference.

er’s, John M. Aitkins, name cut on its
shell in the year 1837, being 61 years
ago, when Mr. Aitkins, who is dead a
number of years ago, was a young man
of 19 years,
The sting of bees resulted in the
death of a horse belonging to Charles
Winters, near Monticello. The horse
was at pasture in a lot in which two
hives of bees were also kept. Coming
in too close proximity to one of the
hives, the animal was stung by one of
the busy bees, and in his efforts to free
himself from the bee he kicked and
overturned the hive. In a minute the
horse was rolling on the ground suf-
fering from a thousand stings, and in
less than two hours the animal was
dead.
