rietir Pleasant Mount, Wayne county,
hail a lively experience a few mornings
since. Going into a shed to procure
rome wood, she was amazed to see a

teurinu; her flush und clothing quite
hurily. During the butlle she succeeded
in getting hold o un iron pokor, with
which she soon killed hnr antagonist,
which proved to he a wildcat weighing
forty puiinds. Miss tirinnell is the he
mine of the neighborhood.
RAILROAD TIDINGS.
The F.rle shops were on Monday
.luted un eight hours' time. It is to be
hoped that low water mark has been
reached.
The Erie's winter time table will take
effect Nov. 1.
The Erie is reported to have placed
tin order for 1,000 curs with the Michi
gan 'Peninsular company.
There are in the I'nlted States more
i hull 873.000 men in the railroad busi
ness. The popular vote for president
i'ouv -years ago was a little more than
I .'.000,000, so that if all the men en
gncred in the railroad business voted,
i hey cast nearly one-fourteenth of the
total vote of the nation.
The Susuehanna Locomotive Firemen
will hold their annual ball, Oct. 30. It
will be a fine affair.
New "Mother Hubbard" locomotive.
No. 904, has just emerged from the
Misiiuehnnna shops.
A new style combination parlor and
sleeping coach is being exhibited in
New York. It possesses several new
features.
Krle trainmen are being measured for
their new winter uniforms.
POLITICAL SUNDRIES.
Matt M. Riley, a Susquehanna boy,
but now of Milwaukee, is vociferating
through the boundless west for Bryan
and tree silver. Matt used to be a
Republican, but for some time he was
in partnership in the law business with
the late Frank Hurd, the great free
trader. That accounts for the milk in
the cocoanut.
Captain W. D. B. Alney, of Montrose,
delivered a rattling good speech before
the Thomson Republicans on Friday
evening. The attendance was large.
A Susquehanna man, who went to
Khighamton to put in a "political day,"
ways that in the morning he was a
Democrat. In the afternoon he remem
bers that he was a Populist and at
night he has a dim recollection of be
ing a middle-of-the-road man. Today
he is a Prohibitionist In theory.
Congressman James H. Codding and
George V. Ray will address a Republi
can rally in Susquehanna on Thursday
evening next.
When the ballots all shall counted be
Upon election day,
We'll wonder why wo could not see
That it would go that way.
' THE MOTIONS ONLY.
A few days since a vicinity farmer
went over to a neighbor's, a good old
deacon, to see on what terms he could
trade a stone boat for a fanning mill.'
When he arrived at the deacon's barn
he was amazed to see the old gentle
man going, through a series of gym
nastic pyratlons such as he had never
before seen outside of a circus. He
would strike his fists together, paw
the air, Jump up and knock his feet
together and almost froth at the mouth.
But he never uttered a word. In a few
minutes the old man suddenly stopped
and fell back exhausted upon a pile of
oats. Then the neighbor saw that
it would be safe to approach, and he
did so, saying: "Deacon, for the Lord's
sake, what have you been doing?"
"Well," was the reply, "I've been the
maddest just now that I have ever been
in sixteen years, and with good reason,
und I have been doing just as a good
many other men do when they are mad,
only I didn't swear, I merely went
through the motions, and it has done
ne just as much good. Of course it was
foolish, but it was human nature." The
neighbor went away with a new idea.
ABOUT THE COUNTY.
The wood acid factory at Stevera
Point,, belonging to Mrs. C. D. Mum
ford, of Starucca, was destroyed by
tire on Friday morning. The plant cost
$15,000 some twenty years ago. It was
insured for $31,000. The origin of the
tire is unknown.
Near Montrose, a few days since,
I,in Stevers shot an albino or pure
white pheasant, a freak of nature sel
dom seen. Mr. Stevers Is on the trail
of a white blackbird as a silver Re
publican, both rare birds.
Great Bend has quarantined its half
dozen cases of diphtheria, and the
dreaded disease Is not spreading.
Some portions of the county are
drinking wood alcohol. Tou can do it
if- you have a copper-lined stomach.
In the old cemetery in Harford Is
one of the strangest epitaphs ever writ
ten. The stone was erected to the mem
ory of John Gawes, who died Novem
ber 19, 1843, aged 67 years, and reads:
"Death is the end of human life,
It separates man and wife.
In deeds of love he was not barren,
He lmitiated Moses and Aaron."

tives. EVENING UP.
There comes from over the hills the
cheerful Intelligence that the prospect
ors for oil near Tunkhannock, having
failed to strike anything oily, have en
countered a rich vein of rank mineral
water, which they will at once proceed
to place upon the market. That's busi
ness on the wholesale. The sharehold
ers can recoup for the losses sustained
by jabbing for oil by selling the rancid
water to people who have imaginary
ailments including "that tired feel
ing." Now if the Brooklyn oil well peo
ple, after discovering nothln? except
the bottom of their purse, had put on
the market a new brnnd of cod liver oil
or gilt-edged axle grease, they might be
roiling in wenlth today, instead oi
"Gnashing their teeth:" and when the
Starrucca coal miners, failing to discov
er any black diamonds nearer than the
Erie coal cars, did not go to work and
unearth a quarry of castile soni or a
living spring ot Florida water, they
gave evidence to the world that they
were not ud to date. Let the South
Cnnaanltes profit from the experience
of their fellow prospectors and strike a
fountain of perpetual youth, and snow
to the world that, while the people of
dear old Wayne mny not send her sons
to congress very often, they know how
to recoup for losses sustained In wild
cat prospecting. And half the world is
just aching to be humbugged.
VARIOUS MATTERS.
Over the York state line a couple
made four attempts to elope, but were
caught each time. The fifth time they
went away on bicycles and were suc
cessful. Glass tombstones are the latest, but
the inscriptions upon some marble
monuments In Susquehanna are very
transparent. .
Somebody pays how many tilings we
hear of everybody that would have
made us wealthy and famous if tney
had only thought of them first.
When the Scranton pilgrims returned
from Canton they brought with them a
portion of Major McKlnley's picket
fence. When the Susquehanna pilgrims
go to Canton they will present the ma
jor with a new lawn. That's the dif
ference in people.
A Lanesboro man advertised to give
his furm to any woman who would
marry him. A Binghamton widow ac
cepted of the offer, but after the bridal
tour to Carbondale discovered that the
farm was both fenced in and mort
gaged. The new bride will not do noth
ing rash until she consults the mem
bers of the church sewing society.
WHITNEY.
QUEER ELECTION BETS.
Some o! the Odd Conceits of Voters
, Who Think Their Opinions Need
Substantial Backing.
From the Times-Herald.
One of the queerest bets which has
been recorded is that made between a
man and bis wife In Colorado. In the
centennial state the women are allowed
to vote and many of them differ In
their political views from those held by
their husbands. Sometimes they have
long arguments on the political issues
of the day. Such a dispute arose be
tween a man and his wife in Denver.
For days they debated the question,
but the man failed to convert his wife
and the other was just as obstinate.
The public library was ransacked for
arguments to hurl at one another's
heads. Finally after many a meal had
been spoiled by a lengthy discussion of
the stiver question they agreed to drop
the topic, although of course the man
was forced to consent that the wife
should have the last word. Then they
fell to discussing the question ot who
would be elected and one day the man
remarked that he was going to make a
bet on Bryan.
"That would be foollsh,"satd the wife.
"Tou will lose your money and you need
all that you have. If you want to make
a bet, make one with me, and the money
will remain in the family."
"All right. It's a go,"replled the hus
band. But then It dawned upon him
that he would have to furnish her the
money to pay him if she lost and so he
would gain nothing. He told her this
and then Bhe had a brilliant idea.
"I'll tell you what we'll do," she said.
"I'll make this bet with you. If Bryan
is elected I will promise to chop all
of the wood for the fires every morn
ing for a month. On the other hand
If McKlnley should win you must prom
ise to do the family washing every
Monday for the same length of time."
These terms were agreed to, and if
McKlnley is elected he will do the fam
ily washing each week, while if Bryan
Bhould win she will chop the wood for
the fires every morning for a month,
A TEXAS WAGER.
There are two men in Dallas, Tex.,
who are as different In their physical
build as they are in their politics. One
Is a McKlnley gold man and the other
is a Bryan silverlte. One Is short and
fat, not more than five feet four inches j
iu neiKUi, uiijiuugn lie weins ramer
more than 2-"0 pounds. The other is as
slim as a rail and could make money
as a living skeleton In a dime museum,
as he Is six feet two inches in height.
The two men are great friends, how
ever, and one day while engaging in
the luxury of a joint debate on the is
sues of the day the fat man proposed
with the thin man that they make a
wager. The terms proposed were that
if McKlnley won the fat man wan to
wear a suit of the thin man's clothes
for a month, while on the other hand
If Bryan were to come out at the top
of the poll the thin man would wear
the other's clothes for the same length
of time. Their friends are very much
interested in the outcome of the novel
wager, although It is suggested that
the thin man has rather the better of
the wuger, for he will be covered, ex
cept at least as much as the average
bicycler exposes, while the fat man
could not get into the thin man's rai
ment without bursting it
Wheelbarrow bets are common, but
a score have been made In every city,
under the terms of which the winner
is to be wheeled by the loser through
the principal streets, but two Philadel
phia men have Invented a new varia
tion of the old theme. They have
agreed that after the election the loser
Is to walk on his hands from Philadel
phia to Wilmington, Del., a distance of
thirty miles. Meanwhile the loser will
follow after trundling his feet as if he
were a wheelbarrow. Such a journey
will occupy rather more than three
days, during which the loser will re
pent that he was rash enough to be
lieve In the success of Mckinley or
Bryan as the case may be.
The employes of a circus now In win
ter quarters became involved in a dis
pute on the result of the forthcoming
election and out of it grew a bet be
tween two of them by the terms of
which the loser, if Bryan were elected',
was to drive a cart, to which eight
donkeys, representing the triumphant
Democratic party, would be hitched,
through the principal' streets of the
city. But If McKlnley were successful
the other man agreed to drive as many
elephants hitched to a chariot through
'the streets. It is suggested that the
man who Is betting on Bryan believes
that the police will prevent the exhibi
tion. IN YANKEEDOM.
An odd bet is that arranged between
two merchants In a Connecticut town.
The parties to it are rival merchants.
and one day after a dispute at tne ciuo
the McKlnley man ottered to agree that
if Bryan should be elected he would
parade the streets of the city eight
hours eai-h day for a week wearing a
sign proclaiming the virtues of his ri
val's goods. . If . McKlnley won the
tables -ere to be turned and the Bryan
man would be the aandwtchman to ad
vertise the other's stock of goods.
Over" In Walsenburg, Colo, where
there are coal mines and where humor
takes a very, practical form and a joke
often Implies a cracked crown, two
miners, John Welch and Tom Carberry,
have made a most peculiar wager. The
loser agrees to go to the bottom of a
200-foot shaft and, detaching the
bucket, take the rope In his teeth and
allow the winner to draw him to the
surface by means of the windlass. The
only condition imposed on the winner
Is that he shall use as much care, ex
pedition and caution as he would In
bringing to the top of the shaft a
bucket of coal.
Dodge City, Kan., has a wild record,
but that is another story and has long
been atoned for by a sedateness worthy
of a New England village. However,
there Is a good deal of fun left In the
Dodge City man yet, even It he does
not take the direction of "a man for
breakfast." This fact receives confir
mation In the report of an election bet
which has just been made between F.
K. Powers and E. R. Prowltt. Powers
Is a red-hot Populist, while Prowltt
is an old school "gold bug" Republican.
The wager is on the general result and
is handicapped by no conditions. If
McKlnley Is elected Prowltt wins, and
If Bryan is elected Powers wins. The
winner Is granted the proud privilege of
wheeling a baby wagon along the prin
cipal streets of the town while the
loser rides in the wason with a child's
rattle in one hand anil a nursing bottle
in the other. The bottle is to be filled
with sour milk, and the loser must im
bibe all of this milk through a small
rubber hose before the triumphal
march is finished.
ONE BUCKEYE BET.
If there Is a matter of fact town in
these United States, that town Is Liber
ty Center, Ohio. Imagination is an
unknown quantity and invention en
tirely foreign to that environment. To
wager money on any event is consider
ed the vilest of gambling, for everybody
in Liberty Center belongs either to the
Methodist Episcopal church or the Uni
ted Brethren. But these good people
are strong political partisans, and in
order to emphasize their beliefs they
must bet. Under these circumstances
It came about that Deacon Weekly,
who has a long beard and strong Re
publican convictions, mndo with Elder
Clover, who has a smooth face and who
Is a particularly smooth Democrat, the
following compact, which in simple
parlance would be called a bet, viz.: If
McKlnley is elected Clover Is not to
shave for four years, but if Bryan Is
elected Weekly is to shave every morn
ing of his life from the fifth day of next
November until the fifth day of Novem
ber four years from that date. The re
sult Is sure, whoever is elected, that
Liberty Center will have either two
long-bearded or two closely shaven men
for the next four years.
Perhaps the most peculiar bet of any
yet recorded is one made, last week be
tween two waiters in a' Chicago res
taurant. The loser binds himself to
purchase 100 oysters in the shell and to
open them for the winner, who is to eat
them as fast as they are opened. It
is a moot question which man will have
IN THE WILD WEST.
There is a man in Oklahoma who
does not care very much whether he
wins or loses a bet he has made. In
the town of Perry. O. T.. dwell Alice
Younger and Thomas Stanton. These
young people are engaged to be mar
ried and are recorded as having made
a marriage bet on the result of the na
tional election. The first proposition is
naive in its conditions. Miss Younger
agrees to marry Stanton If Bryan is
elected, and Stanton agrees to marry
Miss Younger If McKlnley is elected.
This is a shrewd application of the
ancient principle of "six of one and
half a dozen of the other." However,
the second proposition is unique, for
Miss Younger agrees to pay all the
wedding expenses tf Stanton wins.
Another odd bet Is reported as hav
ing been made In Lexington, Ky. na
turally the blue grass region furnishes
a wager concerning horseflesh. Hollo
way Brothers have sold to William M.
Wallace a bay yearling colt by Onon
daga, dam Patty. The colt Is valued
at $750. If Bryan is elected Wallace
is to pay Holloway Brothers $2,000 for
the colt. If McKlnley wins then Wal
lace gets the colt for $500. This Is big
odds in favor of McKlnley, being in
reality 12,000 against -'50.
There are some circumstances under
which a silver man will give a gold
mortgage. Such circumstances ap
pealed to an enthusiastic Bryan parti
san of Jacksonville, Fla., who gave a
gold mortgage on a piece of real es
tate to raise $800, and this money he
offers to wager at 1 to 3 that Bryan
win carry the solid south and every
state west or the Alleghenles.
DOWN SOUTH.
Montgomery, Ala., has evolved a var
iatlon of the 16 to 1 Idea in the shape
of a wager, offered by a confident, sound
money man, who bet a silver man six
teen silver dollars to one gold dollar
that McKlnley would be elected. An.
other Republican wagered thirty-two
ounces of silver to one ounce of gold
that Bryan would be defeated.
The Democrats of New York city are
not disposed to bet on the general re.
suit, but one of their experts has in.
vented a "catch" wager that presents
a somewhat alluring aspect. This fin
ancial genius otters to wager $1,000 that
Altgeld will carry Illinois, and $1,n00
that Bryan will curry Illinois, and $3,
000 that Bryan will carry more states
than McKlnley. This Is one bet with
three propositions, and all of the prop,
ositlons must be accepted or the trans.
action will not be closed. The man
who makes this offer expects to lose
the two $1,000 bets, but believes that he
will win the $3,000 wager, thus clearing
H.ooo on tne entire bet. This is not tin
reasonable, for Bryan might carry
twenty-eight states und McKlnley only
seventeen, and yet even under these
circumstances the latter might be
elected.
