Last Friday there was a gentle sar. prise in store for the politicians, when it was learned that Ed. Chambers, E q., of Bellefonte, bad new honors upon him. In this county there is much rivalry between the two factions known now as the Love and Reeder politicians When Pennypacker was sominated both elements vied im hobuong n ‘he nominee, and each had a turn After the election it was announced that Chair man Reeder, and Ed. Chambers, both were beseeching Pennypacker for the appointment of Deputy Attorney Gener. al. Neither of them got there and both declare they were not applicants, and that it was all newspaper talk. Cham bers now holds the job of Inspector of Charitable Institutions in the State, worth about $2000 per annum and claim ed to be well satisfied with retaining same, Friday morning news came that Edward had scored another point, Gover. nor Pennypacker having conferred upon him the appoictment of an ‘‘Aide.de. Camp’’ oun his staff. This confers on him the title of "Lieut. CoLoNgL" and he secures the position of honor f held by W. Fred Reynolds, of Be who was appointed by Pattison and re. tained the position un This ap pointment carries with it no salary, the other hand it implies an outlay some fine clothes and military trappings; does not conflict with his other position and the duties consist in accompanying the Gov. on public occasions- swell the chest and put on dignity becom ing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania This is a nice compliment to our friend wit merrily fonte, il now on for out Chambers who seems to have the faculty | of ‘getting there’ at an amazing pace. Despite his critics, Edward seems to be scoring right along and iavading vew | fields for fresh laurels. We coogratu- late Mr. Chambers on his success, which | he has achieved thos far on his own | efforts. ® ————— WATER C0. FOR MILLH EIM.

For nearly three years she has lain in a semi conscious state, not recognizing ome of those around her, About two years and eight months denly became uncouscious. never spoken a word, milk taken each day. During all that time she has never once regained com: sciousness enough to recognize any of her relatives. She has lain like one dead, never even being able to raise her. self to a sitting position, Every doctor in the neighborhood had been called in on the strange case, but not one was able to help her, Her disease was pro- nounced spinal meningitis. .
