Com- | plaint was made against Thomas Me- | Common (McCelmout) for using seditious | language, in 1798 or 1799.

Brewery Burned, Saturday morning fire started in the | Roval Brewery, at Tyrone, and gained such headway that it was entirely des- troyed. The efforts of the firemen were devoted to protecting adjoining property. The brewery property was a three story stune building 25x60 feet in size, engine | room and buildings adjoining 40x40 feet | and stable and ice house 20x50 feet. All these were frame structures and with their contents, excepting three horses, were destroved, The buildings were worth about $4,000 and the machinery about $8,000. Property was partly in. sured. The origin of the fire is not known, Harness Victims Beware. A gang of swindlers are reported to be victimizing the farmers of nearby coun. ties with a scheme that it seems no sane person would entertain for a moment. The salesmen, as they claim to be, ap- proach a man with the proposition that he shall become their agent for a patent pitchfork. He is presented with a sam- ple for his good looks and his neighbors, The agreement proves to be judgment note and the poor man finds himself im. paled on the pitchfork that the other fel. low was using.

Other Departments of Govern- ment —Pension Rolls Growing at Alarming Rate. Imperialism is costing the people of the United States an enormous sui an- nually. The War Departmeot is ex- | pending a sum equal to the entire cost of | the civil and miscellaneous expenses of | the Government, | Despite the claims of the Administra. { tion that the war is over iu the Philip- { pines and that there bad been a general | reduction of expenses, the Treasury De- | partment statements show that before | the expiration of the fiscal year ending | June 30, the War Department will have | expended 117,000,000. The eatire civil | expenses of the government, including { the pay of the President, Senators and | Representatives, Courts, in the clerks | various departments and all other ex- | | penses, will be in excess of this amount | {only a few hundred thousand dollars. | Since 1897, the year before the out- break of hostilities with Spain, the war | expenses of the War Department have grown to a sum which was never dream. ed of at that time.
