Tag House at Harrisburg passed a | bill making the minimum salary for | common school teachers $35. Raise the | minimum standard of efficiency too, THE nomination of Roosevelt as the mext republican candidate for president | is not as certain asan eclipse. Hanna, and others, are sighing for a nomination and a quiet but powerful element is at work to discredit Teddy by embarrassing | his administration. Quay is one of "em. | THERE is a gradual cleaning out, by Pennypacker, of all the officials who favored the nomination of Elkin for governor, and Quay followers are put in their places. The feeling is bitter be- tween the factions, and extends into all counties, including Centre. READ between the lines, The Dally News puts up some show of dissatisfac- tion with the auditors’ financial state. ment, but to its credit it can not, does not, point to a single dollar unlawfully spent or for which the county did not re- ceive full value. That's democratic house-keeping. A WHOLE mass of bills proposing new | laws of all kinds are before the legisla. | ture, in different stages. Not five per cent of them will ever become laws. For | that reason we will not confuse our read. ers with accounts of all freak legislation proposed at Harrisburg, but at the close of the term will give a summary of the session. Tug Delaware republican senatorial election of two compromise sesators. The state was without a representative | in the U. S. Senate for four years. Ad. dics, who failed to get oneof the places, bauled off to gain the election of one of | his friends, and says he will open the fight again in two years, when an elec tion will again be had for a senator. LAST week the Gazette charged Ex. sheriff Brungart with collecting fees for attendance at court, to which he was not entitled. The charges involve some legal propositions, which the writer will not attempt to elucidate. The Gazette says ‘be did,” and Brupgart ‘he didn't” and that is all we know about it. If the Gazette could make him refund they cer tainly wouldn't lose such an opportunity, ———————— Tur lower house of the legislature passed, by a vote of 123 to §1, the bill in. creasing the salaries of the judges of the state. Country judges under the new bill will receive $5000 a year instead of | $4000 as at present, and in the larger districts still higter salaries are gives The cost of the state’s judiciary will be increased from $732,000 to $939,000, seems no doubt of the passage of the bill | by the senate and it is believed the Gov. | emor will sign it. An effort is also being made to increase the number of judges | giving one additional each to Dauphin and Cambria counties and the district, | comprising Bedford, Huntingdon snd Mifflin counties. So we go, and the peor ple pay the bill. Amish Colony to Move. The Amish settlement of almost a thousand people, a few miles north of Washington, Indiana, will soon move to Pike county, about, thirty miles south. The settlement is rapidly increasing, and more farm land was needed, and | could not be procured at prices suitable to the elder of the church, Joseph Wit. more, and be decided to move to another locallly. When he moves, his church, | according to custom, will follow him. A deal was closed, January 28, by George Bright, a local real estate agent by which he sold to Whitmer and his | company a thousand acre tract of land | in Pike county, near Oakland City, for a consideration of £37,500. The land now comprises about a dozen farms, but as soon as persons living on it can move, it will be made into one large farm, and the whole Amish settlement in Dayiess county will move on it. In addition the company is figuring on buying seven hundred adjoining acres and will pro- bably do so. It will take about two years to move the colony.—Religlous Telescope. Some fellows forgot us March st. It | ora brick is not too late to do good. A little salt sprinkled on a smoky fire will clear it. Saucepans must be dried as well as washed before they are put away, A cork dipped in fine coal ashes Is ex. cellent for scouring kitchen knives and utensils, To remove the smell of onlons from a saucepan fill it with water and drop into It a redhot cinder, In cleaning ollcloths on the kitchen washstand a cloth dipped in kerosene | cleans more quickly and the cloth looks | fresher aud cleaner than when water is used. A suggestion for those hampered by | Hmited pot closet room is to plaice a ' | few screw hooks in the bottom of the | shelves, on which to hang kettles and | | salcepans. Mueh care should be taken to pre- | | vent verdigris from appearing on kitch. | en utensils. When it does, the julee of | a lemon mixed with a teaspoonful of | salt will soon remove it. A great deal of time will be saved | by placing a little hot water In a uten- | sil In which sticky food has | cooked, covering closely and placing on been the stove. The steam loosens the food 80 that It can be washed off readily. Staining Floors. A practical person suggests that if | housewives care to stain thelr own floors they should begin by washing them thoroughly; then fill in all the | eracks with putty and scrape off any scraps of paint which can be loosened with a little turpentine. A light hard. wood stain ean be produced by the mix ing of a pint of bolled oll, a pint of tur pentine, a tablespoonful of burnt sien { na and two tablespoonfuls of chrome yellow, This stain Is used for pine and similar woods. To make a darker stain add a tablespoonful of burnt sienna and the same amount of burnt umber. Walnut stain contains two tablespoon fuls of burnt umber, three tablespoon fuls of chrome yellow, half a table spoonful of lampblack, a pint of tur pentine and a pint of bolled oll. Apply with a brush. The brush should always be worked with the grain of the wood The room should beclosed until thestaln is dry. When dry, rub the floor evenly with a small strip of carpet bound about a brush. When a polish has beer raised, lay on the varnish or wax. Var nish smoothly and carefully. Wateh the grain carefully and let the brush fall in with It The Hot Sand Bag. Many people appreciate the value of a hot water bag to relieve pain or Im prove the circulation. It Is said that a hot sand bag is still better for this pur. | pose. A physician gives the following directions: “Get some clean, fine sand | and dry it thoroughly In a kettle on the | stove | square of flannel, fill it with the dry fight, which has been raging fiercely for | four vears, was ended on Monday by the | Make a bag about eight Inches sand, sew the opening carefully togeth er and cover the bag with cotton or Hnen cloth. This will prevent the sand from sifting out and also enable you to heat the bag quickly by placing it in the oven or on the top of the stove | After once using this you will never again attempt to warm the feet or bands of a sick person with a bottle The sand holds the heat for a Jong time, and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurting the in- valid." Health Culture No Place Like Home. The home should be the uppermost thought in a woman's mind, not only how to keep It, but how to improve it and to keep a healthy Interest in It This is a natural forward movement Married life does not end a vital in terest In securing, furnishing and maintaining a home. It should be but the beginning of effort to make and maintain the home perfect, however good the beginning. To take care of one's possession means mental effort as well as physical -means system and order and eternal vigilance. If this eare is not given or is relaxed In the slightest, disorder and even destruction come quickly A woman's interest In ber home means a bit of political econ- omy that has no parallel A Mandy Closet. A corner closet In either the living room or the bathroom of a house, In which can be found a supply of clean- ing fluids and materials for household | use in repairing articles at short notice, | { will be such a source of comfort that it 1s well worth the trouble and slight expense involved. Ammonia and wood | alcohol and gasoline for the liquids and French chalk, cornmeal and pipeclay for dry cleaning are absolute necess!- ties. Each housebold has special things that it Invariably uses for cleansing and renovating and doubtless one is as good &8 another, but the important thing Is to have them In an accessible place and where they can be had at a mo | ment's notice Women Help the Poor, Mrs. William Thaw of Pittsburg was the first American citizen to erect a public bathhouse, The Public Baths | association of Philadelphia had its in. ception in the labors of Miss Sarah Lowrie, who found on Investigation that only one family in twenty among the city’s poor had access to a bathtub, Recently Mrs, B. 11.

Rumberger, an old friend and former teacher of my home county, viz Centre, I thought per: haps I could say something to interest some of my old Centre county friends : I left Centre Hall in the spring of 1901; three days after my arrival I filed claim for 160 acres of land, and am glad tosay that I am well pleased with same, To anvone that is not well healed (financially) I would advise them to come west. | don't want anyone to think that they can pick money from bushes, but if they are willing to work a little they can make money easier than they can in the east. There are many reasons for this. The country is new, and there are many vacancies which thrifty young people can fill. On my trip west | | thought how well people are fixed to own | such fine farms as we see all through the wesl. But yet I don’t think there is an other place that offers opportunities as does North Dakota. This state has a very severe climate, extremely so both heat and cold, but it | has some of the most fertile land to be | found anywhere. Wheat, oats, flax and me st anything but corn thrives bere ; but | I think the time is near when corn will be raised too, ‘or experiments show that it can be raised profitably. Wheat yields 20 to 40 bushels per acre; oats 40 to 70 bushels per acre ; / 12 Wo { 20 and potatoes proportionately Horses and caltle can be raised very cheaply ; they feed on the products of the farm, viz: straw and hay, the latter growing abundantly. The straw takes the place of hay in winter, as it is not always ruived by rain as is often the case in the cast. This state bas one of the best schoo! systems, seven months of the year are devoted to school work, We have a lady for County Superintendent; she may have scen forty summers, but she is all right, because she is a democrat, There are two protestant churches in this community, viz : Lutheran and Pres. bDyterian, Everybody is speaking of the rapid growth of towns in this state When | came to Bowbells our postofice and nealest town, it was a mere hamlet of a halfy dozen shanties. To day it has a population of near seven hundred, and has the facilities that go to make up a town, Kenmon, Portal, New Port, Flaxton, Madison, Moball, are other thriving towns of this country, Most all kinds of game is to be found in this state, viz : deer, wolf, foxes, rab- bits and in the bird line are the grouse | resembling the Penn’a pheasants, Cana | dian geese, several species of ducks, such as the mallard tefhl and gray back. The sea gull is also found bere and is very large, often measuring from three to four feet from tip to tip. | Many kinds of fish are found in the | lakes and rivers, viz: Pickerel and the common suckers leading in numbers, | Pickeral weigh from 12 to 20 Ibs, | Lignite coal is found here in abun. | dance. It can be bought at the Lake | mines for $2 per ton. At these mines | they mine coal like in Penn's. At the | conl beds, where it is found at from 4 to 6 | feet of the surface, it can be bought for | about per ton, I hardly think there is much danger of a coal famine, as we | have no coal barons to regulate the price | of coal. | There is but one railroad in this part | of the country, but rumors are sfloat that | G. N. intends to build a line from the | main line north to the coal regions, Were you to come to this state you would find people from every state in [the U 8. There are also many foreign. ers in here, viz: Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, Irish and Germans. {| There are quite a few Pennsylvania | people in this county, they come mostly | from Franklin and Juniata counties. | - Older settlers are predicting a good {etop., They say the more severe the winter the better the crop will be, Well, Charley, Mr. Ground Hog saw bis shadow and has gone back for six long weeks and, by the way the wind Is howl. a ty are going to have more winter, ell, I must ote, as [can't think of anything that will interest you, Yours, respectfully, P. BE. Mns1nonn Bowbells, Ward Co., N. D. It’s all well enough to paddle your own canoe if you can’t get anybody to do it for you. The worst thing about an astemobile is that it hasn't horse sense. Memorial Blography Prepared of First | President of Penn's State College, A most novel tribute has just been paid to Dr. Evan Pugh, first president of the Pennsylvania State College by old students of the institution, in the publication of a biography which is believed to be the first public recognition of the services of one of the most eminent of Pennsylvanians, The work was accomplished only after the | greatest difficalty in locating surviving | members of the classes of 1858, 1860, 1861, 1862 and 1863 of the college, all of whom were asked to contribute to the undertak- ing. Many of the old college boys, now grown gray-haired, were found in distant parts of the country. In some instances | where the men themselves were dead their estates contributed to the preparation of | the memorial, | = Dr. Even Pugh, who was a Chester coun- ! tian by birth, of Quaker parentage, was | famous as a chemist and geologist, and | made an international reputation by his discoveries in the assimilation of free ni- | trogen by When the Btate College, then known as the Agricultural College of Pennsylvania, was started in 1850 he became its first president, and un- til his death ino 1564 worked unceasingly to lay the foundations of the institution which bas since grown to be a model of its kind.
