appears to be ripe.
Tvo elder of the Church of the Lat
ter Day Saints wer here on Saturday,
looking over the ground preparatory
to holding a series of meetings.
In the general summing up Mr. Bryan
has the proud satisfaction of knowing
that he carried quite a large number
of states and Susquehanna. .
A hunter on Sataurday, near the Cas
cade, shot a pure' white squirrel. It had
pink eyes. It has been placed in the
hands of a taxidermist.
Near Susquehanna, a few weeks
since, two brothers eloped with two
sisters, and thev were wedded until
death or divorce doth depart them.
A Herrick man made a vow in Sep
tember that he would let his hair grow
until Bryan was elected President. A
year or two hence he will make a
dandy dime museum freak.
AND HE CROWS.
Great Bend has a victim of surgical
science. Two years ago, while working
in a sawmill. Peter Morton was hit in
the upper lip with a flying knot, hurled
with territlic force by a circular saw.
The sharp wood Just scooped out al
most the entire lip, and Peter was
no longer a thing of beauty. They took
him to New York, and the Bellevue
Hospital surgeon grafted a piece of
chicken skin upon the lip. and It
knitted beautifully. Six months eater
the lip grew red chicken feathers,
and Peter, guyed by his neighbors,
tossed pennies to see whether he
should take to the woods or go into a
dime museum. He split the difference
and keeps the lio cloudy shaven. Peter
has also developed a strange trait
since the operation. The neighbors
say that he crows at unseemly hours
of the morning, and echoes the clar
ion tones of the shanticleer when he
hens produce an egg. It is also rumor
ed that Peter eats corn and buckwheat
grain and Is raising spurs but such re
ports lack ofllctal vertlilcation. The
case Is atractinsr the attention of
scientific men, and the day is not far
distant when Peter Morton will no
longer be a saw miller or a professor
of oxmanship.
FLOTSAM AND JETSAM.
For Borne months this sentence has
appeared at irregular intervals in the
editorial columns of the Montrose
Democrat: "The next president will he
a Democrat." Brier Cruser should pull
up his suspenders another notch and
re-date his prophecy. His prophecy
machine Jumped a cog last week.
Just over in Broome county, at least
one olllce-holder hails a new adminis
tration with delight. He Is postmaster,
with a salary of about $" per year.
For four years he has unsuccessfully
tried to unload the office and has threat
ened to throw the entire outfit In the
creek. Nobody will take the ofllce. and
the government will not make a change.
The postmaster says that the office hns
$100 worth of work, $200 worth of money
and $75 worth of responsibility. He
throws the mail into a tea chest, and
the people help themselves. He says
that civil service is a delusion and a
snare.
THAT IS TO SAY
A Susquehanna railroad man. who
works hard for his money, bet $1100 on
Bryan's election. Good money gone
glimmering!
A Windsor man drew $175 out of a
Binghamton bank and placed, it in a
cigar box for safe keeping. On Satur
day he discovered that rats had made
a nest of It. He now sits up nights,
endeavoring to lit the pieces together.
He says it beats the common puzzles all
hollow.
During the Republican parade on Fri
day evening, an old man, full ot enthu
siasm and beer fired a revolver in the
air. The bullet struck a horseman
on the stomach, making a long surface
scratch. The frightened horseman
dropped to the ground, believlmr that
he was mortally wounded. The old man
followed a wagon track to the woods.
Manager E. D. Lathron, of the Car
bomlnle Leader, Is promlnetly men

tership In Carbondale. He Is In every
way well equipped for the position
and who Is more iloscrvinir? I he man
who, through success and adversity,
battles for his party, at the expense of
time, talent and money, deserves some
recognition and return when the plums
are passed around. The Republican
party Is a great debtor to five news

pounds, and was advised to use your
Vegetable Compound, which I did. I
felt the benefit before I had taken nil
of one bottle. I continued using it,
and it has entirely cured me. 'I have
not been troubled with leucorrhopa for
months, and now I weigh 115 pounds."

TAILORING.
We Are Still at It
Making suits at prices the
people of Seranton never
heard of before. Our trade
increases from week to week
for these reasons :
We sell cheaper. Our fits,
in even the cheapest suits,
are not surpassed in Seranton
at any price.
We cut, fit and make all our
own goods right here in
Seranton, and we are the only
people making garments at
any where near our prices
that do this.
Suits from $11.00 to $40.00
Pants from $3X0 up. i
