THE LEGISLATURE,
Som» of tho Bills Introduced tu the Body

Representative John R. Jones, of
Schuylkill county, introduced a bitl
providing for a direct vote for United
States Senatbr. An amendment for a
direct vote for United Riates Senator
is also pending in Congress. The bill
to increase the salaries of judges is

hanna, Atthe present time the fifteen

TWO PRIMARIES,
County Giicinls Nomivated in June snd
Borough aud rowanship in October,
Until the attorney general passed
an opinion on the time and method of
nominating borough aud township
officers, the county commissioners and
people in general were very much at
ses, Itis now clearly. stated by the
attorney general that the nominations
for borough and township offices will
be made a8 heretofore, but the time for
holding the caucases or primary
elections will be chauged from Janu
ary to October, twenty-one days before
the general election in November,
This will separate the nominations for
borough sand township offices from
the nominations for county offices, for
the former will not be held until Oc.
tober and the latter will come, as
heretofore, in June.
In speaking of the primaries
Chambersburg Repository gives
following information, based on
decision of the attorney general :
A great many people are under the
impression that caodidates for Bor-
ough and Towopship offices will be nom-
inated at the Jupe primary. Thisis a
mistake, so the Franklin county eom-
missioners state. In a conversation
with one of them on Monday morn-
ing be said to a Repository man :
the
the

primaries from being beld this year,
one in June for the nomioation of
of chloral hydrate or any quantity of
belladonns, colton rool, ergot or |
“ other abortificant,” must announce |
the fact in b'g red letters, Itis pro-|
vided that the word * poison’ must |

New Pensloa Bll Fassed By Houose,
The house of representatives passed
the Bulloway general pension bill,
which grants pensions rsagiog from
12 to $36 a month to soldiers who
served ninety days in the United
Btates army in the Civil War, or sixty
days iu the Mexican War, and who
have reached the age of sixty-two
years,
The bill adds about $45 000000 a
year to the pension roll. It provides
for the pensioning of all Union sol
diers regardless of disability, The
general scale fixed follows: Bixty-
two years, $15 a month ; sixty-five
years, $20 a mouth ; sevenly years,
$25 a month, and seventy-five years,
$360 a month, It was declared by the
advocates of the bill that 100 veterans
are dying every twenty-four hours,

School For Teachers,
= The bulletin of the second summer
session for teachers, at Pennsylvania
Btate College, gives some idea of the
interest in and appreciation of this
work. The fact that the number of
courses offered has ‘been raleed to
eighty-one is sufficient evidence of this
interest In the summer session. An
attendance of over 300 is expected and
because of the enlargement In the
curriculum, the corps of lpstructors
will be strengthened by the addition
of Prof. C. D. Koch, of Harrisburg,
state high school inspector ; Prof, O
H. Jetter, director of music at Blooms
burg normal ; Miss Katharine Moran,
of the state normal, Courtlandt, N. Y.,
and Miss Amy I. Peet, of Lake Port,
Indiana,

The busiest and mightiest little

Iain's Btomach and Liver Tablets,
They do the work whenever you require
their aid. There tablets change weak-
_Dess into strength, listlessness into
energy, gloominess loto Joyousness,
Toelr action is so gentle one don’t
realizes they have taken a purgstive,
county officers, and ove in Ogztober, or
twenty-one days before election, for
the nomination of borough and town-
ship cfficers. These latter will be
oominated in O2tober hereafter just as
they have been in January in the past,
Weare advised that the amendment
to the constitution in no way changes
the nomioation of borough and town-
ship officers, except the change of the
month as stated, from January to Oc
tober.”
Thus it will be seen that the June
nominations will be only for county
officers, and that candidates for
borough officers, all election boards,
acd township officers will not take
place until October, twenty-one days
preceding election in November, and
that while the change in the constita-
tion does away with the February
election it does not do away with a
primary, there beiog two as in the
past, the only change being in the
date for holliog the one at which
borough and township officers are
nominated.

The closing service of the pastorate

As stated in his closing sermon, Rev.
Gress aimed to preach the gospel dur-

people to do better things.
Personally, Rev. Gress had many
friends over his charge, who greatly
regretted his leaving. In the sore
affliction of his family he had the
deepest sympathy of all, apd the
earnest prayers of the curistian people.
He left Centre Hall with the good
wishes of every one, and the hope that
his new charge would prove an agree-
