If candidate Essor captures all of

Robort Swartz, assistant night

Bob understands tho ways and haunts
of tho speckled beauties and has
way of successfully luring them away

"Boss" fisher of this section.
It is important that delegates to
the Constitutional Convention should
be men of intelligence and ripo experi
ence, men who know just what tho
people neod and want, and honest
enough to work, insist and vote for
such measuros there aro men in this
county, who can faithfully represent
tho intorosts of tho Domocratio party,
and none hotter than the Hoi. Allen
Craig if ho could bo induced to accept.
Whilo wo can't say from .personal
knowledge, yet judging from tho say
ings of many of tho citizens of Lehigh-
ton, tho Advocate's persistent efforts
for the building up of that town, has
boen of incalculable benefit. A live,
wido-awako newspaper booms a town,
interests outsiders, attracts capital,
encourages entorprise, arousos tho
tho voter, makes tho political aspirant,
In short a dead town Is mado alivo.
A homo uowspaper should roceivo
cordial and substantial support, it is
tho bullotin announcing the town's
doings.
-Joseph Hartloy, a resident of this
town, and an employee ntthe car shops,
suddenly disappeared flvo weeks ago,
leaving a wife and threo children do
pondent. Thero was no unpleasantness
in the homo circle, and no reason can
bo assigned for his leaving. Tho most
careful inquiry gives no traco-of him
outside of the town. It is possiblo ho
may havo taken his life, but it is more
probable that it is a cruel desortion of
his family. His wife is almost heart
broken. If his absonco continues, sho
will be thrown on tho charity of tho
world. If anyono knows anything of
his whereabouts thoy should lot his
family know.
Powdorly soveroly arraigns secre
tary Fostor.charglng him with duplicity

doubt he tolls tho truth, yet tho fact is,
it was a deep gamo played by both, and
tho wisly secretary camo out ahead,
Tho leaders of tho two labor organiza
tions Powdorly and Gomphers, aro nt
war. Tho political party that promises
most will get the vote of the strongest,
perhaps. Tho truth Is this ballot re
form will knock "smithoroons" out of
tho balo of tho so-called labor vote
overy time. The soorot ballot will re

Dead. George Rapp.
It was a surprise to many people,
Tuesday, whon the death of George
Rapp was announced. A week before
ho had been working on his farm in
Franklin, audit is thought, that tho
hard work together with tho heat re
sulted in tho illness that was not neces
sarily doomed sorious until Monday
night when ho began to fail rapidly,
after passing a vory good day, and on
Tuesday morning at half-past elovon,
died. Interment will take place this
(Friday) afternoon, Rev. Wuchtor, of
tho Luthornn church, officiating.
Georgo Rapp was born in Wutton-
berg, Germany, on tho 23rd day of Jan
uary, in tho year 1830. Sometimo dur
ing 1851 ho emigrated to this country
and for a tlmo located in Allontown,
and later, perhaps during the year 1850
moved to this town. On the 8th of
November, 1850, ho was marriod to Miss
Hannah Pohlo, of Lohigh Gap, this
county, by Rev. E. A. Bauer, now of
Lohlghton. Their union rosultod In
flvo children, four of which number
with their mother survive, Charles
Rapp, of Chicago, and throo daughters
Misses Louise, Emma and Ella. Mr.
Rapp was a butchor by occupation,
which businoss ho carriod on for many
years in connection with that of
drovor. Coming to Weissport whon
tho town was bnt a scattered village
and Leblghton was mostly scrub oak,
ho soon became known as Butcher
Rapp all over tho county. The writer
