Other ra made known on application, C MR, CARSON'S PROBE, A thorough investigation of the profligate expenditures on the new Capitol eannot be avoided. The elec- tion is over and the question is no longer a campaign issue. But the scandal lives snd burns and blisters, and the pr be is all the more certain because it is now free from any im- mediate political complication. There are interests which will object to turning on the light and which will seek to smother and defeat a real in- quiry. Bat their effort will be vain. Too many pledges are out. Too many forces are in earnest. If the majority in the new Legislature should be dis posed to cover up, the minority is strong enough to compel an investi- gation. The Governor-elect has given his word and his good name is com- mitted. Without waiting for the new administration or Legislature the present responsible state authorities owe it to themselves to push the probe. The State Treasurer will press it, publie opinion will demand it, and evasion will be difficult. The second letter of Attorney Gen- eral Carson to Contractor Sanderson does not look like trying to evade. It is all that could be asked. It is a searching and penetrating call which pierces to the marrow of the deception and fraud. The case admitted of nothing less from a self-respecting 8 0 a d RESULT IN NEARBY COUNTIES, ——— thelr Majorities, Mifflin ~Legislature, J. M. Yeager, «+ 109. Poor Director, 8.

The answer of Mr, Sanderson to the first letter of the Attorney General was trifling. It was worse than evasive—it was truculent and almost contemptuous. Not only did it fail to give any real information, but it plainly bad the spirit of not in- tending to give auy. For example, the Attorney General had asked what was the basis of the bid * per foot ”’ and how the contractor measured furniture in that way. The answer is that he made *“ surface measurements,” But that tells nothing. What surface? Linear or cubic? Bubstance or air? Following the sinuosities or squaring the object ? The answer furnishes no enlighten- wert and the only thing we know is that on this bidding * per foot’ the state paid for furniture four or five times its real value. This is only a sample of the trivial ity and obscurity of the answers. It was almost an affront to the Attorney General and Mr. Carson shows in the character of his second letter that he resents it. In this rejoinder he frames his questions with a particularity and explicitness that will hardly admit of evasion. They will put Mr, Sanderson to the test, and the answers will so in- volve those who gave the orders that inquiry must lead up to them. The search for the truth has begun and it must go on to the end, C. R. Neff, of Millheim, is traveling in the mountains with Burveyor Grove, marking the lines of the wild land purchased by the state. Mrs. Kate Bauchman, niece of Mrs uncle, ex-Sheriff Spangler. Mrs Bauchmaun for years made the home of ber uncle and aunt her bome. Next on the political hook is the February election. Nominations will be made in the old way, The new primary election laws do not apply to nominations made for borough and township offices. The blue ribbon for the capture of small game in these parts is held by B. Gardner Grove, who killed three wild turkeys, thirty squirrels and six pheasants. He has not had time to go after rabbits, but hopes to give them attention later on. . After being pastor of the Luthersn congregation at Liloysville, Perry county, for twenty-three years, Rev: W. D. E. Beott has tendered his resig- vation. He has not been in good health for some time, being troubled with a throat affection. Mrs. George Btover, last week, moved from the Kerlin house to Church street. Wm. B. Feidler, who purchased, from D. L. Kerr, the home vacated by Mrs. Stover, will occupy the same. He is contemplating mov. ing the house nearer the street and making other changes. In the absence of Rev. G. W. Me- Iinay, on Bunday next, Rev. J. M. Boal, D.

And says further that she is conducting the business of the Central Bakery while her husband is in Bouth Dakotas snd Iowa, "I often wonder how I got along without the Reporter,” is the closing sentence. Messrs. Geo. M. Zeller, proprietor of the American House, Btouchsburg; 8. W. Diefenbach, proprietor of Brown's House, Mt. Aetna; F. W. Troutman, of Stouchsburg ; and Ww. B. Bellers, of Reading, are a party of Berks county hunters who have taken quarters at the Centre Hall hotel, and drive to the mountains every day for a bunt, Bo far their success has been light, but they expect to capture bear and deer sufficient to hold the lead of hunting clubw in their native county, The result of the late election is heralded by the gang as a great victory, and an endorsment of the big Capitol Bteal. Thousands of honest voters in the state were in- fluenced to vote with them by their shaliow promises of reform, and false alarm to stand by the President. It is certainly encouraging to kuow that thousands of christian men discarded party and voted for civic righteousness and clean politics and while they did not win, they are not dismayed, The time is near when the party lash will fail to drive the honest voter to en. dorse their corrupt methods, and we may see the day when they will with their own hands remove the heads of the gang of looters from off the Capitol doors. ——————— A ———— While it is to be deplored by all good citizens that the fusion ticket did not win, there is much to rejoice over, Thousands upon thousands of good christian men dropped partisanship and voted for civic righteousness, and thousands more would have done the same had they not been fooled by false alarms and whipped inio line by the party lash. Btaond by the President was one of their strong appeals. With a falling off in two years of over four hundred thousand msjority is not an o, dorsement. entoutaging. on - Spring Mills, Most of the teachers in this vieluity are attending institute this week, John Snyder, accompanied by his father, of Laurelton, spent Bunday in this place, Clayton Dunlap and Bruce MoCor- mick, who have been employed by the Standard Steel Works at Burnbam, spent a few days with their parents, Harry Osman, who has been assist. lng io bullding the railroad bridge at Paddy Moyntain, was seen in town Monday, A number of hunters from this place will go to hunt deer today (Thursday) H.

There is that quality about Kuppen- heimer Clothes, due to the expert worke manship entering into their manufaet- ure, which stamps the wearer “a well- dressed man” from the day he puts the garment on until he is ready to lay it aside.
