MIFFLINBURG STATION ROBBED, QOracksmen Disturbed Leave Some of the Cash with the Litter on the Floor, A daring gang of safe crackers broke into the Pennsylvania station at Mif- thinburg early Monday morning of last week, and blew open the safe with nitroglycerine, The cracksmen were evidently frightened away because on Monday morning when Btation Agent i. KR. Htover came to open up he found moat of the money laying on the floor, together with a file, hammer and chisel, which were used in gaining an entrance into the building. it is not the castom of Mr, Btover to leave much money in the safe, so pot a great deal could be stolen, although the thieves got away with some cash. The residents in the vicinity of the giation heard an explosion at about two o'clock Monday morning, but did not investigate, Within the last few weeks safes were blown open at Catawissa, Muncy and other places fo this section of the Hiate, [tis likely sll the jobs were done by Lhe same gang. The safes in the Lewisburg and Mifflinburg sta. tions were blown open a few years ago; and in both instances the thieves es- caped, Whoever the eracksmen were on Monday left no trace as to their identity, pin LOCALS, Mr, and Mma J.

In November, 1883, 1 awoke one morning fully impressed with the idea that | was receiving as a gift an un- usually large gypsy ring set with a sin- gle sapphire with a brilliant on each side. The dream was a pleasant one to the female mind, and 1 soon fell asleep again, butonly to awake with a still stronger {mpression that the jewel was actually in my hands, So curious were my sensations that on my maid entering my room at 8 o'clock 1 told her of the two dreams, most minutely describing the ring. and 1 also asked my husband to bear witness to the statement should anything follow to confirm the dream, Two hours later the postman arrived, and so great were my excitement and astonishment at seeing a small, neatly done up packet (evidently a ring case) that 1 dared scarcely open it and decid- ed to ask my maid to do so, Before breaking the seal | asked her to repeat the description of the ring that [ bad previously given her, and then the lit- tle packet was opened, and the joyful exclamation followed, “Why, my lady, here it is! The ring was sent to me by a friefld in memory of his wife, who had died some mouths before, but I had absolutely no idea that | should be the recipient of any souvenir of her, nor did | ever see her wearing the ring in question. — London Spectator.

When his pie was served he actually ate it with his knife.” “1 don't bfhme him for that” was the startling reply of Smith. “You dou't blame bim?* Jones in amazement. “No.” smitingly joined Smith. “1 have eaten ple at Brown's myself, and it is a wonder to me that Barton didn't take an ax." — Philadelphia Telegraph. repeated The Woman With the Transfer.

STEWART, CANDII There is no more important office to be filled at the coming November elec- tion than that of State Senator snd it is highly important just at this time that the man best qualified for the position should be elected to this very important office. In order thet all the people of this Benstorial district may become familiar with the record of Dr. 8B. C. Btewart, of Clearfield, the Democratic candidate for this office, we present a brief outline of his early life history. A perusal of this sketch will at once demonstrate the fact that Dr. Stewart hss had the experience necessary to qualify him to intelligent- ly represent the diversified interests of this district and is the man that should be chosen. Dr. Bamuel Cooper Blewart was born in Bradford township, Clearfield county, and is 8 member of one of the leading old-time plopeer families of the county. He was raised on a farm, doing the farm work in summer and attending the distrixt school during the winter. At seventeen years of age he followed raftiog on the river in the spring and earned money sufficient to pay for his first term of school at Cur- wehsville Normal, and the following winter taught the Bradford Independ. ent schooi. The following summer he again attended the Normal at Car. wensville and that winter taught school at Jackson, Bradford township. He continued his studies at the Nor mal the pext summer and at the end of the term received a teacher's pro- fessional certificate. That fall he en- gaged to tesch at New Providence, Lancaster county, where he taught two cousecutive terms. He began reading law in 1877 and ister took up the study of medicine expecting to complete the study of law and become a medicolegal practi- medicine that he abandoned the law and devoted all his time to medicine gntil his gradustion in 1581, since which time he has become eminently successful snd bas taken front rank in the practice of his profession and stands today as one of the best known physicians in Clearfield county, Aside from the success he has met with in his ctiosen profession, he has aleo engaged extensively at different times in lumbering and other pursuits and by reason of his force of character and executive ability always attained success, His life training has fitted him to most intelligently represent the best interests of this district and the voters of Clearfield and Centre counties will make no mistake when they elect Dr. Bamuel OC, Stewart to the office of Btate Benator, He is the character of man that is needed at Harrisburg, and will be a credit to the district, Wyland Smith, Miss Elizabeth Wyland, of Lewis town, was united In marriage to Henry M.

He is making an effort to | reduce the expenditures of the post | office department and make that divi. ing. Io order to bring this about he is reducing the service in the larger cities to such an extent that patrons are annoyed in not receiving their mail regularly. He is reduciog the expen- ses of the department at Lhe expense of good service, and that is not econ- omy. Iu the country districts, Postmaster General Hitcheock, if he can accom- plish it, will bring about an altogether different method of fixing the com- pensation and the selection of the rural postmen. He purposes to let the jobs to the lowest bidder, just like was done years ago io sitar routes. Large contracts were given to individ. uals, and these zub-let the contracts, and the compensation received by the sub-contractor was much less than the service was worth, The difference be tween the pittance paid the man who did the actual »ork and the sum paid by the government went to the large contractor. The Postoffice Department officials have great ideas of economy. See what they are doing to the country nesspapers | They ask them to make a sworn statement giving all the de. tails of their private business, even down to what disposition a newspaper man makes of the newspapers he does not send through the mails. The de partment forbids the publisher, for economy’s sake, to send a paper to anyone who is in arrears on subscrip- tion more than twelve month, just as ‘not paid up than it did one paid in ad. vance. Then here is another economy stunt. The g wernmeant prints envelopes and It does a printing business at a dead loses, But the poor man gets none of this; it ia ‘the rich corporations that use en- | velopes by the hundreds of thousands that profits by this commercial print (ing carried on by the government. | When the poor man buys a single en- velope be pays two cents for the stamp | that is on it and one cent for the en- | velope iteelf, but when the rich-the | large corporations—buy in large quan. | tities and everytime they buy, the ‘ government loses. This is the kind of economy Hitchoock Is practicing. This la saving at the spigot, wasting at the bung. The Etrohm Farm Sold, James B.
