THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN. The Republican Nominee for Con grass Visits Somerset. A Brief Sketch of His History. Joiah D. Hicks, Esq., of Altoona, Blair county, who was last week nominated as the Republican candidate for Congress from this, the Twentieth Pennsylvania district, arrived in Somerset Saturday evening, ac companied by Hon. A. P. McDonald, post master at Altoona. The gentlemen were met at the S. t C. R. R. station by a recep tion committee and were driven to the hand some residence of F. W. Eie&ecker, E.-., Chairman of the Republican County Com mittee, whose guests they were during their stay in Somerset. They left for Ailoona on the late train Sunday evening. During Lis visit here Candidate Hicks had the opportu nity of meeting many of our towns people as ell as leading Republicans from all sec tions of the county. He spoke briefly at the McKinley meeting Saturday night. He was warmly received and heartily applauded at the close of his remarks. Mr. Hicks' certificate of nomination was not tiled with the State Ix-fartment until a late hour Tuesday night, Sei. 13, and it is a disputed question as to whether his name, under the provisions of the ab-urd and ob noiious liaker ballot law, can be printed oa the o2icial ballot, as one section of the law requires that all certificates of nomination of candidates for Congress shall be tiled with the State Iepartment at least fifty-aix days before the day of election. It is our opinion and the opinion of a number of eminent lawyers with whom we bave cousulted that the certificate of nomination was tiled in ample lime. Another section of the aame law provides that nominations of candidates for any pub lic oSice may also be made by nomination jiairs ; the number of qualified electors re quired to sign such papers being three per centum of the largest entire vote for any of ficer elected at the preceding election. Such (.apers to be iiled with the Secretary o( the Commonwealth t leat forty-nine days be fore the day of election. Tae requisite number of signatures to the nomination papers were easiiy procured in the four counties of the district and were Cied by Mr. Kicks with the Secretary of the Commonwealth Monday morning, so there can be but little doubt that his name will be regularly placed upon the olheial ballot, should this not be done an "oiucial sticker" bearing his name will be printed and will be piven by the election ofticers to the voters of the district along with their ballots, so that in any event any one desiring to vote for Mr. Hicks w ill be given an opportunity ot doing so. Whether his name is placed on the oilical ballot or not there can be no question of his election. The following brief sketch of onr Congres sional candidate is taken from the Altoona Trilmnt of a recent date : Josiah D. Hicks was born in Chester coun ty August 1, 1M1. Shortly after bis parents removed to Barree, Huntingdon county, where Josiah though yet a lad, was apprentic ed to the trade of a forgeman. Later his parents removed to I'uncansville, and Josiah secured a position in the store of Clement Ja-gard, Altoona. At the breaking out of the war, he was among the most ardent to sustain the cause of the Union, enlisting in 11, in Company II, Fourteenth Regiment, for three months. In September, 1 1-0:1, he enliMed in Company K. One Hundred and Twenly-f.nh Pennsylvania Volunteers, and, after seeing hard service in the ranks, re turned to his home in lvi3. In August of that year be re-enlisted this time as a three months' man. He was afterward in the one hundred day service until the close of the Rebellion. From l00tolS07 he was engaged as a Pennsylvania Railroad clerk in Tyrone. While thus engagtd he pursued the study of law. Subsequently he came to Altoona and entered the law o:lice of Hail fc Ne3. He finished his studies in theolliee of Alexand er i Herr, aud in 1-C5 was admitted to the Eiair County Bar. That same year be es tablished himself at Tyrone commanding a good practice from the start. In Ijso he was elected District Attorney of Elair coun ty, which otlice he filled so acceptably that he was re-elected at the eipiratiou of his term. In ls?4 Mr. Hicks removed to Al toona, w here LetlTccted a partnership with Attorney; D. J. Nefl". The firm of Ne3 .v Hitks was of many years' duration, and the original partners are now in the firm of NeU, Hicks i Ambrose A Story by Judge White. From the Puttburgh Dispatch. " I have made a new rule in my court,' said Judge Harry White, of Indiana county, last night. ' Yesterday the Chairman of the Republican County Committee present ed a German for naturalization. The fellow Lad gone through ail the preliminaries and was ready to take out his last papers. He seemed to be intelligent aud pot along first- rate nmil it came to answering the ques tions I usually put to the applicants. The man w as placed under oath. The first ipiestion I a.ked him was whether be knew who Benjamin Harrison was. He re mained silent awhile and finally declared be hsd never heard of him. My applicant bad lived in America lo years and the great est part of the time in the Keystone State. I thought he ought to know something about the government and politics of Pennsylvania, so I asked him what political jarty Governor Pattison belonged to. He prompt'y answered: 'The Republican.' Then I questioned him about the constitn- tion and he did not know that the conntry was possessed of such a thing. As a last re sort I inquired if he could read or write. He answered ' No.' "This last satisfied me that the country was better off without such citizens. I then refused to naturalize him and made a rule that no man would receive, through my courts, the right of citizenship, who could not read, write and understand the constitu tion." Erother Dana Talks Right Out. From Ti.e Sew YcrV Sun. Of all the countries of the civilized world this is now the most prosperous, and its pros;erity is extraordinary in its own history as all the official statistics of commerce, trade and manufacture bear abundant witness. Any party which undertook to go before the American people, at the period more especially, on the issue of free trade, would be overwhelmingly defeated. Never before in American history was protection o deeply and thoroughly rooted here as it is now. Free trade England can be more easily converted to protection than thi country can be led into free trade. Her Experience.

Ilolderbaura, Somerset, Pa. Another Democratic Boomerang. From the fbila-ieicfcia " Iu'iuirer." The bolt of the free silver Democrats ajwir.st the candid-y of Cleveland and Ste venson is attaining an iuiluecceand siie not t first ected by either of (bote gentle-n-en. Regua ly the Dsnver -V-j immedi ately af.tr the Chicago convention bad re jected a free silver plauk, it has been careful ly and shrewdly promoted by the free silver leaders. Clubs bave been organized in every part of Colorado, and even the Congression al and Legislative fights are being mads up on the issue of opposi tion to the so-called gold bug candidates of the old parties. The most decisive feature of the battle was developed lat Saturday. Oa that day the Democrats cf Arrspahoe county (Denver) held their convention. Before the meeting of the convention the Cleveland men pro cessed a belief in their power to bold tb dele cgatea in line. Their organs kept np the clatter for ultimate free silver, but this was done only to prevent the delegates from re pudiating the work of the Chicago conven tion. The Weaver men forced the fighting and when the decisive test cams upon the question of indorsing Weaver, Cleveland had not a single friend in the convention. The 20 delegates rose to a man and voted for a resolution which scored Cleveland and Har rison with equal severity, aud instructed the State Convention to vote for none but Wea ver electors. The res ult is justly claimed as a great vic tory for the ultra-silver party, although the straiht-outs profess to think that it will prove harmless. For a time it looked as if the Weaver boom was a mere diversion in tended only to split the Bepnblican vote. But the events of the last two weeks have demonstrated that it is a genuine boom and that it is almost wholly Democratic in char acter. The action of the Senators, Teller and Wolcott, in swinging into the Republi can line has nearly solidiiied that party, while still further dividing the Democrats. Tiie indications are now that the State will go Republican by a majority larger than it , has given for many years, aud it will sur prise no one if the Colorado Democracy is al most wholly lost in the free-silver organiza tion, both factions having cow decided to jut their own tickets in the field. CHOLERA HAS LANDED. 1 It Reaches New York City In Spite of Close Quarantine, On Wednesday the Board of Health, of New York City, made public the fact that the Asiatic cholera had appeared in that city. It had really b(cn claiming its victims for teveral days, but the authorities bad ersi-tently denied it. The following were the victims up to that time : Chas. McAvoy, aged years, who died September 6, Mrs. Sophia Wigann. aged 63 years, who died September 10; William Wig ann, aged i2 years, husband of Sophia Wig ann, who died on the following day; Minnie Leviufre r, an infant aged 1 year and 6 months, who died on September 11 ; Charlotta Beck, aged SO years, who died at 11 o'clock Tues day mo-ning. A sixth cholera victim has been discovered ia New York city, that of a girl, Mary Coo- nerty, who has been in the ciry six months. THE SoCBVE OF CHOLERA A HYSTIKV. The physicians of the Health Department have been unable to find out how the cholera was contracted in any of these cases. Sj far as they Lave been able to learn, none of the dead persons came in contact with the cholera germs. Every precaution Las been taken to prevent the spread of cholera in thte houses. i'AEANTlNE IS EFrFCTl'A L. Dr. Jenkins expressed himself as confident that the disease had not issed quarantine but had reached the city in other ways. He said the best authorities in the world stated that a stringent and complete quaran tine could only claim to prevent TO jr cent, of the possibilities of the introduction of cholera into a place. The other 30 per cent, of possibilities of cholera invading a seaport were open to other means over which quarantine bad no control. He said that it was quite possible for a person visiting a cholera patient or hospital to transmit the germ from a first to a third party without feeling any of the e.Tects himself. The Hamburg-American Line steamer Bohemia, which left Hamburg on the day on which the President's quarantine order was issued, arrived at New York Thursday night She Lad 11 deaths on the yoyage from what the captain reported to have been "diarrhiia.' The victims were all children and under 6 years of age. THE SHADOW OF 1'r.ATH IS EUROPE. Losdox, Sept, IT. The shadow of death is lifting, for cholera's dead this week do not number more than 13,000 if the returns are approximately true. Hamburg's total death role has amounted to about ''!, and the piague has renewed in some degree its in tensity in that stricken city. In Russia, however, there has been marked improve ment, and the disease ia rapidly disappear ing in many places in western Europe where it threatened to become a great scourge. Taris continues to be a danger point, although the daily retorts given out by the authorities indicate that the pestilence is subsiding. Weaver and Flela Accept. rest Aeon. Kla., Sept. IT.

Tuey aiso assert that the People's party was cheated in the Alabann election The candidates say, in conclusion : "After an experiment of many years it is apparent that neither the Republican party nor the Ie3iocra:ic party can or will accomplish the much desired end, to wit, the restoration of the ballot to a fair and honest basis in the States of the Union. The People ! party alone can secure the desired end. If the people of the whole country who desire hon est elections and the repeal of class laws will rally to the support of this great industrial movement and place the party iu power under who-e banner the white people of the South are now marshaling themsejves, ibis vexed question wiil be settled forever. It is certain that the ieopleof the South will not join the ranks of the Republican party. It Is equally certain that the Republicans will not unite with the Democratic party. The People's (rty affords the only solution of these important matters. Much Creater Than Before. At oi sT., Me . Sept. IT.

In a short time all were taken deathly sick, and it took a physician four hours to get them out of immediate danger. An investigation as to the cause of the poisoning led to the discovery of a dead rattlesnake (bur feet long in the keg from which they bad been drink ing.

These committees are requested to pre pare programs, and to determine dates and places for the first institutes in their resec tive sections. Where institutes bave alrea dy been organized, they should work in har mony with such organization. 2. Each committee should be called to gether by the chairman as soon as practica ble, and the first regular institute should be beld not later than the 22d of October. This date is at least three weeks after all schools open. 3. At the first institute an organization should be effected by the election of a dis trict leader, president, vice president, secre tary and any other officer desireiL 4. The district leader should be a standing member of the program committee. 5. Should any of the districts desire to bold separate institutes, or to be combined with other districts, a request to this effect signed by a majority of the teachers of such district will secure the desired change. 6. Each section should decide for itself the number of ins' itutes to be beld during the term, and the time and place for each succeeding meeting. 7. 't he district leaders will be furnished blanks for the purpose of securing complete reports of each meeting, together with such other data, relative to the educational af fairs in each district, as may be of interest and value to the Superintendent. 8. Directors, patrons and pupils should be icy ited and encouraged to take an active part in all these institutes. Only by a cordi al co-operation can they be made most In teresting and profitable. 9. Every teacher should feel the same de gree of resiionsihility to be present at the monthly institute, and to do bis full share in its success, as iu bis daily work in the school-room. No wide-awake, progressive teacher will want to be absent or tardy at any time. 10. Institute work is not a sacrifice on the part of the teacher.. It jys for itself every time it ia well dene, while it doubly pays the schools in its great benefit to them. Di rectors should therefore encourage and sus tain their teachers in this good work. 11. I will personally attend as many of the institutes as possible. I can not attend ail of them, but I expect to bear of the at tendance, the work and the interest of every one beld daring the term. It is my earnest desire that every (netting be a success and that every teacher do his full share in secur ing such a result. J. M. Bekk ey, Co. Snpt. Berlin, Ta, Sept. 10, '02. Traveling Inspectors. PiTTsBrao, Sept IT. As soon as the $-"0 00u required by the State Board of Health, to fight the cholera in Pennsylvania, shall be procured, the board will probably put in to operation a system of traveling inspection throughout the State, according to Dr. J. H. McClelland, a member of the bjard. The idea is to keep from s;ijto eight inspectors on the move all the time from one end of the State to the other, watching for cholera or signs of it and supervising the work of the local'authorities. The protiosed system of traveling inspection will be a most valua ble branch of the anti-cholera service. The system will serve excellently in emergen cies.

Saylor purchased 7:"0 shares of the Middle Coal Field and Railroad Company, 1500 shares of the Arion Silver Mining Company, and 500 shares of the Montana Gold and Silver Mining Com pany for an aggregate price of $11.4't. Later this stock was sold back to Latshaw for $50, upon the representation, it is claim ed, that the stock was worthless, and that Latshaw wanted it merely us an heirloom. Since then the stock has taken a jump and is now worth about $18,000, and Saylor wants the Court to make Latshaw divide on the grounds that he was deceived. Walks on All Fours.

Mrs. Harrison May Recover. Loom Lake Horse N. Y., Sept, IS. TLe critical period in Mrs. Harrison's illness baa passed, and there are no sins of a renewal of the dangerous complications that brought her so near to death's door a few days ago. She has not improved so much, however, that all danger is passed, for there ia yet the main disease to corabit. Dr. Gardner told a reporter to-day that the crisis was over, and the patient could 30 w be treated with out the great danger - threatened by the accumulation of the water substance in the cavity of the pleura. This danger, said Dr. Gardner, has passed and there are no signs of a renewal of the substance, thus remov ing the necessity for another operation. The three operations which the physicians made to draw off the fatal liquid, were successful, but in each case the patient suffered some what from shock, and the physicians were apprehensive of a reappearance of the fluid. Now that the crisis is over, the advisability of removing Mrs. Harrison from Loon Lake is being considered. She is exceedingly anxious to be taken to Washington, and it is believed by Dr. Gardner, that, with a partial renewal of strength, has patient may be safely removed from Loon Lake within a week or two.
