OICLI BUIKOCS PEICESF OE PEODUCE. IffrictUtsnt land Goes far a litre Son; aid the People See Terj Little Money. t rrvox x erxrr coiaii6P0iai!rT.t Bedford, July 2(3. A farmer over in tbe neighborhood of Sidling Hill once got to worked np abont tbe South Penn Kail road that he dreamt about it. In bis visions he pictured it as two shining lines of solid cilrer rails thrown across his farm. He told his neighbor that it just seemed as though the brightness of the tracks touched every thing else on the old farm with wealth. fanciful as such a dream was, it forcibly illustrates the temper and sentiment of the people in the counties of Bedford, Jfalton and Franklin. They believe that a railroad through Southern Pennsylvania would make their primitive country grow and blossom like the rose. So few of them see money in any quantity that they yearn for some enterprise that will brine them np with the times, and fill their purses with coin. A DEPLORABLE CONDITION. Agriculture in the three counties named is in a deplorable condition, from my tour among farmers the other day I find that all they can get for their butter now and no finer butter can be found in the world than theirs is 8 and 10 cents per pound. They lave received as low as 7 cents this season. In Pittsburg the Allegheny county farmer who brings his butter to your door gets 30 cents a pound for it; or, buy it at the cor ner grocery and you pay abont 22 cents. The farmer down here has to sell bis eggs for 8 to 12 cents per dozen. In Allegheny county rural towns 22 cents per dozen is the price paid. At Everett, in this county, ynu can buy spring chickens at any time for from 5L75 to ?2 per dozen. Conld the Al legheny county farmer, or tne "Westmore land county granger, live at such rninous price as these? MONEY IS SCAECE. But the farmer does not receive 8 or 10 cents in money when he hands over a pound of his pure bntter to the Bedford county hopkeeper in the town of Bedford. He is given simply that much credit on an ac count, in which he trades his produce for clothing, larm supplies or other merchan dise. And even this merchandise is given him at higher prices than you pay for it in Pittsburg, because the merchant claims that the lack or railroad facilities makes tbe freight on that merchandise in brinciug it in from the wholesale cities cost more. "I donbt whether the average farmer in tbe Eastern half of this county handles more than $300 actual cash in a year," said John Snyder to me on the old pike the other day. George Felton, a farmer of East Provi dence township, subsequently supplemented this remark with: "Tes, and I donbt if one-tenth of the farmers of either Bedford or Pulton countv see that much real money. One hundred dollars would be more like it. LAND AT A MEKE SONG. "The general custom among the farmers here is to accent merchandise as pay lor their produce. The shopkeepers say it is all they can give ns. They complain that on account of no railroad facilities their goods cost high to get them here, and that they have no money to pay." It is arremarkably poor farm in any of the counties adjacent to Westmoreland or Alle gheny which will not sell for at least $45 an acre. A better average would indeed be 176, or even $100. for $10 an acre," said Henry Felton, the miller of East Providence township, and the father of George Felton. "And they are good farms, too. Yes, $10 is a mighty good price. Perhap $8 might be nearer the mark. It is next to impossible down here for a farmer to pav his taxes." G. C. Masters, the merchant at Everett, says: "Between here and the town of Bed ford we have a small railroad, and the t farms being limestone land will bring prob ably $75 an acre. But between Everett and McConnellsburg, in Fulton countv, where there is no railroad, the farms will not brine more than $10 or $25 an acre. They are only slate lands, but they would.be WOBTH A GOOD DEAL MOEE than that if a railroad only made them accessible. I have a farm below Everett of 215 acres, for which I was offered $8,000 -when the work was going forward on the South Penn Railroad. Kow I -cannot get $6,000 for it. The figures you have on the prices for country produce are correct Their marketable value would be increased 23 per cent if the South Penn Railroad were built." Farmer "Weaverling said: "We had to tell butter this, season as low as 7 cents, be cacse we hay.e no market for it outside of Bedford and Everett. Once I tried to ship tome bntter and eges to a man in McKees port, near Pittsburg. But I never tried it alter that. It was too costly. This Broad Top Railroad shipped them first to Hunting don, men to .rmsDurg ana then to Ale Keesport. The freight was enormous. Farm lands sell here for a mere song. I would call $10 an acre a remarkably good price. It we only had a railroad directly east and west through our country these farms, which have good soil, would increase in value, for then we would have a market opened up to us." PEOFIT FOE PITTSBTJKG. John Q. Kvcura, a storekeeper at Ray's Bill, said: "If there was a direct line of railroad through this country from east to west, PitUburg merchants would profit bv it. IT ow we areas near Philadelphia as we are Pittsburg by rail, although less than 100 .miles irom Pittsburg overland. So we lo our bnyine in Philadelphia. "We prefer Pittsburg if we oould only reach your merchants." George Felton said he had once tried to hip machinery for a sawmill from Hunt ingdon to Everett His experience taught him that the Pennsylvania Railroad and .Broad Top Railroad together charge as mnch freight from Hnctingdon to Everett, some 40 or 50 milec, as they do from Chi cago to Huntingdon, nearly 500 miles. He thinks that is proof enough that a direct east and west line is needed through South era Pennsylvania. WHAT WILIi MAKE ENTEBPBISE. John Hafer, the well-known hotel man of Bedford town, said: "Our merchants have to pay the farmers for their produce by the exchange of merchandise because ot the want of transportation facilities. The highest prices that are paid for farm prod uce in the town are 15 cents for butter, the same lor eggs, and from $2 CO to $3 per dozen for spting chickens. "We have no en terprise here at all and will not have until we get a railroad east and west." - And now I do not wonder tbat a Pitts burg lady who owns a Bedford county farm once said to a Iriend of mine: "I don't know why, but in renting that farm I have never been able to realize more than 1 per cent ont ofiU" Kor do I wonder that the exclusive pub- lication in The Dispatch of yesterday explaining the mysterious movements of the Cumberland Valley Engineer Corps created intense excitement in this county. The people are eager for a railroad. X. E. Stofiel. BARHTJH AKHTVES TO-BAY. Itla Tent to Be Pitched on the Exposition Gronnda To-Jlorrow'a Parade. Barnum & Bailey' "Greatest Show on Earth," with its grand menagerie, wonder ful ring performances, dazzling dances, trained animals and Imre Ki rally's gor geous spectacle of "Nero" and the burning ot Rome comes here to-day and will occupy the Exposition grounds to-morrow and Tuesday afternoon and evening. The show contains many new features this year. It is small wonder that Nero's fame lives after 2,000 years if he did things in as gorgeous a fashion as Mr. ICiralfy's spectacle suggests. It is as imposing and magnitndinons as a mere mimic represeution could be. One gets a glimrJse oi ancient Rome from withont and within. The architecture is capitally suggested; the city in perspective is we'l represented. Then the lavish dis plays made in parades and in the festal dances and bacchanalian revels! The de scriptive incidents of the life, reign and character of the Roman Emperor make a treat hit In the circus proper there is a five-horse tan dem hurdle race which isoueof the most excit ing things yet seenin connection with a show of this kind. A difficult balancing act on a high trapeze bar with a gymnast on either end of the same, is another interesting bit The trained animals are wonderful in every way, and perform more clever tricks than ever before; and, by the wav, the animals and horses this season are said to be in ex ceedingly fine condition, and the horse fair alone is worth ones time to visit The menagerie this year is said to be tbe finest in the world. The route of tbe morning parade will be: South avenue to Allegheny avenue, to "Western avenue, to Ohio street, to Federal street, across bridge to Liberty street, to Smithfield street, to Water street, to "Wood street, to Third avenue, to Market street, to Sixth street, across bridge to Robinson street, to Anderson street, to Church ave nue, to Union avenue, to Ohio street, to Federal street, to Lacock street, to Exposi tion grounds.

A peculiar and latal disease or epidemic is prevailing am one thehogs in this section of the country. Many One animals have already been lost, and the fatality is rapidly increasing and spread ins. No clew to the canse of the disease or epidemic was found until yesterday, when Mr. S. S. Cook, a prominent larmer and stock raiserot Belleville Bottom, was alarmed at tbe discovery that quire a number of his fine herd ot 50 thoroughbreds were affected, and tbat all tbe affected ones appeared to be choking or strangling to death, flu bad tbe affected ones separated from tbe others and the diseased ones killed and dissected. When he opened tbelr throats he found a nninber of peculiar flat worms about an inch long fixed In their windpipes. Further investigation showed tbat the worms In every Instance bad bored or eaten a hole through tbe necks of the animals into tho windpipe. Many hogs are affected in this lo cality, and the disease is spreading. LATE HEWS IN BRIEF. In Iowa there will be a total failure of the honey crop this year.

MUSTY OLD PAPERS That Tell of the Great Events. of Pennsylvania's History. ALL' MIGHT EASILY BE STOLEN. The Code of Laws Promulgated by the Good Quaker, William Penn. ODD SIGNATURES "OF THE INDIANS rcrxcTjki, TiLionAM to the dispatch.! Hareisbueo, July 26. The Capitol con tains a mass of valuable material which relates to the early history of Pennsylvania stored away in old chests and cupboards. There is much unwritten history connected with this material. For instance, the Gov ernment was most shamefully imposed upon in its purchase of the portrait of "John Penn, Governor of Pennsylvania," which hangs in the reception room. The portrait, instead of being a likeness of John Penn, the Governor, is a very faithful portrait of John Penn the poet. Jtteucs ot tbe famous family of tbeenns, bv the way, figure largely among the enri osHes of the Capitol., Carelessly stowed away in a cupboard to which any" stranger might gain easy access, are the original con tracts made between Charles II. and "Will iam Penn, and between "William Penn and the Indians. Although these priceless doc uments are so poorly guarded that it would be very easy for a dishonest individual to walk off with them, it is, nevertheless, true that no newspaper up to date has ever secured a copy of these extraordinary records. A QUAINT OLD DEED. On an ancient parchment, somewhat dis figured by the remorseless hand of time, is inscribed in painstaking, old-fashioned characters the deed giving to, "William Penn a vast tract of land in America. The docu ment begins in this fashion: This Indenture made the seaven and twenty ethdayof tbe month called July, in the year of our Lord one thousand six hundred eighty and one And in the three and thirtieth year of the reign of King Charles Second over En gland: Between William Penn of Worming bnrst In the county of bnss ix Esqnlre of the ono parte and Henry Somby ot the City of .Bristol!, Weaver, of the other parte, etc. At the bottom of the parchment is the royal seal, and the strong, characteristic signature of "William Penn. Here is a facsimile: The good, old Quaker obtained this char ter in 1681. In 1682, just one year later, was promulgated by him in his new country the remarkable laws which really form the basis ol civil and religious liberty not only in this great State of Pennsylvania, but in many ot her sister States as well. The laws are inscribed on old parchment several yards in length, and rolled up as a scroll. Al though more than 200 years old, it is well preserved and legible. After a brief preface in which "William Penn speaks of himself as the as "Proprietary and Governr" of the Province of Pennsylvania (the only title, by the way, which lie ever arrogated to himself), he makes the follow ing proclamation: "PENN'S CODE OP X.AWS.

The remaining laws are characterized by the same item sense of justice and equality which is apparent in those just quoted. SOME INDIAN SIGNATUEES. Among'the really enrions documents at the Capitol are a large number of the orig inal contracts made between the conscien tious Penn and the aborigines. The con tracts are drawn up with all due nicety and with a scrupulous regard for legal forms as they then existed. The signatures of the Indians were somewhat unique, as can be seen from the following examples taken from an old piece of parchment: iMtm& -f S ""vA. A&isJ,,st-- . Some of the agreements with the red men are written on parchment; others are written on a rough toweling, which is thickly covered with a coating of paste. The time spent on the merely mechanieal part of a deed. 200 years ago, was enormous. Of course the lettering was done entirely by hand, and it was often very elaborate. The wording of the ancient contracts was far more verbose and diffuse than the present mode allows. The contract between "The Lord Baltimore and Thomas, and Richard Penn, Esquires" (which is also to be found at the Capitol), is such a very lengthy docu ment that its mere mechanical execution must undoubtedly have occupied weeks. The seal was a most elaborate affair in those days. INDIAN NAMES TRANSLATED. In some of the contracts the Indian names are translated, after this manner: "Achiout, or the Half Town," "Anarh kout, or the "Wasp;" "Lessens, or a Big Bale of a Kettle;" "Snawhowa, or the Council Keeper;" "Tenanias, or the Broken Twig;" "Gyasbala, or the Big Cross." Tbe signatures' of Richard and Thomas Penn, descendants of "William, and at one time joint "Proprietaries of. the Proviuce of Pennsilvania," show mnch of the strength of character so noticeable in their great pro genitor while their laws and arguments are marked by the same spirit of fairness and liberality that predominated in "William Penn'a spoken and written utterances. Here are fao similies of their signatures: Attached to one of the contracts between the Six Nations and the "Proprietaries of Pennsilvania," is a remarkably good map, giving all tbe rivers and mountains to be found in the vast area claimed by the "Six Nations." CHABTEB TO PENNSYLVANIA. Among other records is a "Charter of "William Penn to Pennsylvania," which is thus inscribed and then signed by each member of the "Provinciall Councill:" This Charter whloh we have distinctly heard read ana thank fully received shall bee by us Inviolably Kept at Philadelphia ye Second dave of ye Second month, 16S3. There are deeds of release of Indian pur chases, divers Government contracts and one paper which is here quoted in full as possessing a deep interest lor every citizen of the Keystone State. It is the formal announcement that Thomas Mifflin is the first duly elected Governor of Pennsylvania and It reads as follows: Tha Speaker, and tbe Members of the Sen ate ot the Commonwealth of Pennsvlvanit. and the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives of the same Commonwealth, Do Herebv Certify that the Sneaker of the said Senate did, on tbe eigbteenth day of De cember, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and ninety, in tbe Senate Cham ber in the city of Philadelphia, open the re turns of tho election of a Governor of the said Commonwealth, to him directed, and did publish the same In the presence of the members of both houses of the Legislature, conformably to the Consti tution of thesaid Commonwealth and tnatupon counting the votes by a Teller appointed by each house, it appeared Tbat Thomas Mifflin had a majority of votes.

It became so painful and discharged so I couldn't get any rest day or night, and I was all rundown when I called on Dr. Byers. After a careful examination he said my ear trouble was tbe resnlt of catarrh and gave me a treatment at once. I experi enced an immediate relief and tbat night had the first rest for quite awhile and continued to improve right along until now, after three months' treatment, I have no pain in my ear, am free from the annoying catarrhal symp toms and am my old self again In general health. I feel that I cannot recommend Dr. Byers too highly to any of my friends who may be troubled as I was." f CONTISUED 8UCCES3 OP HOME TREATMENT.
