Former U, ¥, Minister Dead.
Rev. Freeman B. Voght, a retired
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and a pastor of the Evangelic-
al church in Centre Hall twenty or
more years ago, was found unconscious
on the pavement in front of his resi-
dence in Berwick and died a few hours
later. Mr. Vought was paiuting the
exterior of hia home and the supposi-
tion is that while engaged in the work
he became dizzy and fell to the pave-
ment, striking ou his head.
Rev. Mr. Vought was placed on the
retired list at the last session of the
Central Pennsylvania conference.
When in Centre Hall, as indicated
above, he was the pastor of the Evan-

The agitation to “close the polls in
Pennsylvania earlier than seven

bat it would no doubt be of some ad-
vantage in the cities. Io the country
many voters go to the polls after they
have performed a full day’s work. If
the time for voting were reduced this
could not be done, and might prevent
the laborers from casting their ballots
except at the most important elections.

his “Diary.” “hired a place in Scot-
land which was haunted by the ghost
of a woman who was to be seen cou-
gtantly at night wandering through
the rooms and passages. When the
family arrived the lady was ouch
struck with the place and said, ‘1 must
have been here before, for 1 know
this place so well, only there ought to
be two rooms here, and there is only
one,’
“The agent replied that within a few
weeks the owner had caused a parti
tion to be taken down and made the
two rooms into one. Still the lady was
puzzled at her knowledge of the piace
till she remembered that it was a
house she used to go to iu her dreams,
“Well, some time paksed, and the
agent was up at the house again, when
the lady complained that ove part of
the contract had not been fulfilled.
They had hired a house und a ghost
for the summer, and no ghost had she
seen, The agent replied: ‘Of course
not. because von are the ghost. We
recognized you the moment We Saw
you.'”
Why They Were Selected.
It has been recorded that General
Henry Knox In 1783 was the ‘“‘great-
est” of eleven distinguished officers of
the army, weighing 280 pounds. Noah
Brooks fu book entitled “Henry
Knox” gives the following incident re-
lating to the general's full habit:
With a Captain Sargent he was se-
lected to present the hard case of the
starving and naked men at Valley
Forge to the attention of a committee
of congress. One of the congressinen,
wishing to show his w't and sarcasm,
sald that be had never seen a fatter
man thay General Knox por a better
dressed man than his associate. Knox
managed to keep his temper and re
mained silent, but his subordinate re
torted. “The corps out of respect to
congress nud themselves have sent as
thelr representatives the only man
who had an ounce of superfluous flesh
ou his body and the only other man
who complete suit of
his
Ed a

Loudon court a short time ago with

stated that was sent for the loaf

When the President Lost His Hat,
The Crystal palace exhibition open-
wi at New York July 15, 1853, was the
first affair of thix kind in the country
for which foreign exhibits were s0-
jicitedl. The “Lig show” began witha
procession, in which President Frank-
lin Merce, monnted, was a consplcu-
ous feature. The hero of the day rode
1 mettiesome steed, amd while pro-
ceeding up Wall street the presiden-
tial headgear, sn new silk hat of the
prevalent style, incontinently
tumbled to the pavement Another
borse recklessly =tepped upon the un-
fortunate file, crushing it out of the
semblance to itself, besmearing it with

left of the misshapen and bedaubed
hat was worn by the president, to the

Sell Dr. Howard's Specific at Half-Price
snd Guarantee s Cure.
‘““ It isn’t often that we have faith
enough in medicine put up by other
people to be willing to offer to refund
the money if it does not cure,” said
Murray and Bitner to a Heporter wan
who dropped Into their store, '' but
we are glad to sell Dr. Howard's spe
cific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia on that basis.
“The Dr. Howard Company, in
order to get a quick introductory sale,
authorizes us to sell their regular fifty-
cent bottles at half price, 25 cents, and
sithough we have sold a lot of it, and
have guaranteed every package, not
one has been brought back as unestis-
factory.
“ One great advantage of this spe-
cific,’ he continued, **is its small dose
and convenient form. There are sixty
does in a vial that can be carried in
the vest p wcket or purse, and everyone
has more medical power than a big
pill or tablet or a tumbler of mineral
walter,
“ We ure still selling the specific at
half price, although we cannot tell
bow long we shall be able to do so,
and anyone who is sub jsct to constipa-
tion, sick headache, dizziness, liver
trouble, indigestion or a general play-
ed-out condition, ought to take ad-
vantage of this chance, ‘You can tell
your readers that if they are nol satis.
fled with the specific they can come
right beck 10 our store and we will
cheerfully refund their money.”

Mr. J. Cooper,
Decorah, lows.
Dear Sir : Your letter of inquiry received and noted. The
fact that I have two policies of $12,000 in The Royal Union Insur-
ance Co., and that I am perfectly satisfied with the same, is the
strongest evidence of my confidence in the company. Any finan.
cial institution that is limited by law in the investment of its funds
in non-fluctusting, non-speeulative securities such as farm mort-
gages, municipal bonds, and loans on the cash surrender values of
its own policies is certainly entitled to public confidence, Add to
this the fact that the state of Jowa requires sufficient of these se
curities on deposit with the Auditor of State to more than equal
the amount of the Company's entire liability to its policyholders,
and Iam unable to conceive of a more complete and absolute pro-
tection. This is the law under which The Royal Insurance Co.
operates, and for this reason it has my unqualified endorsement
and confidence,
In addition to this it is an Jowa Company and has for
eighteen years been steadily growing stronger and better, It is se-
curing the highest rates of interest from its invested assets of farm
mortgages in lows and adjoining states ; thisenables the company
to pay its policy holders the highest possible earnings.
