The Sound Money league of Pennsyl
vania have entered upon a non-partisan
educational campaign in order that they
may convince the citizens of the com
monwealth that it would lie advanta
geous fr them to stand together for the
present standard. In order to do this
they have arranged to have Mr. Theodore
C. Knauff, of Philadelphia, deliver a se
ries of lectures at iliilorent points free of
charge. The lectures are superbly illus
trated by over one hundred original col
ored photographic stereopticon views
which depict the ilitl'ercut industries
which would lie allectcd by the change.
and the accompanying talk explains how
and why. Mr. KnaurTs lecture, while
not partisan or political, is bright, inter
esting and instructive to farmers,

professional men alike. The date for the
lecture here is announced for Thursday

On Friday, lKitniiior 21, the court
mado an order directing CoL John W.
Rutherford, reviver of the Pennsylva
nia Midland Railroad company, to com
plete the main line of said railroad and
to make a loan of $i-),tH on certificates,
a sum of not more than fttl.Onu of it to lie
used to pay the preferred claims set forth
in the liomiholders' agreement of. to-
l-r 2;, lKO, the Iwilancc to Ik? expended
in completing the road. The .-onrt in the
exercise of its wise discretion could !i:ive
done nothing else than uinke the order,
ts it was backet! up by an overwhelming
sentiment iu favor of completion, coin
ing from persons who have certain equi
ties in the matter. The railroad is prac
tically gra led to Brook Mills and runs
through some of the most fertile farms of
Bedford and Blair counties.
It v. o-ild be an outrage on the part of
any persons to block this plan to com
plete the road. Any opposition that h;is
arisen by reason of the conduct of the
railroad company should now subside
and all persons lend a strong hand to the
receiver, so th:U he will succeed in carry
ing out the order of the court, T'le only
chance for some of the creditors of the
company realizing on their chums lies in
the completion of the railroad. If.the
road should be sold to-day the old cred
itors would realia nothing, so that we
ought to encourage the plan of comple
tion of the road. Col. R;.;herford is a
goutleinau of high character and h.ia been
very frank with every person in this liti
gation. He is a practcial engineer and
a most excellent railroad man. Now let
evcrylsnly turn iu and it will only le a
short time until we will have a railroad
that will lie of incalculable benefit to
Bedford county. lW ifoi-'l W'tzettc.
Hive Had Ample Notice.
The Department of Agriculture has de
cided thai grocers and others who have
articles or f.iod upon their shelves in vio
lation of the pure food law of the last
I.cgbduiurc have hail ample notice, and
Frank X. Moore, who represents the De
partment in the Pittsburg district, has
Veen instru.-ted to bring suit for rive or
six flagrant violatiens which have leen
brought to his notiis? by the analysis of
seb-cted samples by one of the experts of
the Department, It has lieen found that
buckwheat dour is seldom pure, and that
in most cases it is adulterated with c-arsc
Ilour at the rite of from five to ninety
five per cent. I.ard litis also been select
ed as a prominent source of adulteration,
and some samples have been found to
contain twenty-five per cent, of water,
chemicals having lieen ad. nil to enable
the lard to hold this amount of moisture.
The stir which has la caused among
nianiifai-turers by the notice of the Ite-p-artment,
that it intended to enfor.-e all
laws relating fo impure or adulterated
ftod, has increased the correspondence of
the State ollicers, and manufacturers are
showing a desire to comply with the law
as soon as possible. In m my cases nim
ufacturers are supplying gr.x-ers and oth
ers who have their g.sls upon their
shelves with large numliers of labels
liearing the word "compound, under
the supposition that the presenile of these
labels will make all mixtures secure
from suits by the State ollb-ers. To meet
such cases Secretary E Ige has decided
that the indiscriminate use of the word
'comhund'' was not contemplated by the
law and that its addition to articles not
usually c impounded is no protection.
The o!liecrs of the Department state that
they meet with nothing but commenda
tion in their work, ami that the press and
oeople are ready to assist them in any
possible manner. They have thus far had
no difficulty in obtaining all the samples
which they want, mainly lecause the law
givi-s them extraordinary jiower in this
direction. In two cases iu which sam
ples were refused the giM.vrs were taken
Is-forethe nearest justice of the peace,
and kfter a line of ?H had lieen imposed

Death of a Venerable Somertet Countian.
A letter to the editor from Mr. Wm.
McMillan, datod West Lilierty, Iowa,
Dec. 2!h, bears the news of his venerable
father's death. Tho writer says: I am
mrry to inform you of the death of my
father Samuel E. McMillan who has
lieen a subscrilier to your paper for the
past forty years I think I am safe in
saying almost fifty years. You will please
disi-ontinuejiis subscription and send the
paper to my address. I have your re
ceipt for the former subscription paid up
to January 1, Jstni.
Father was taken sick with heart fail
ure eight months ago, and from that time
up until his death he was compelled to
sit in a ris king chair day and night any
attempt to lie down would bring on
smothering which would have resulted
in instant death. During this time l.e
had an excellent appetite and did not
suffer pain; but confinement told on his
vitality. Some three months since dropsy
made its appearance in his lower limbs
and he soon lost the use of his legs. His
vitality gave way to old age and disease
and at 1:40 P. M., Dec 2!, ISfO, death
claimed him as his own. He passed away
without a inumer. He was KS years,
I month and 17 days old.
Horrible Vengeance.
A mob inflicted a horrible vengeance
on a faithless woman and her paramour
Saturday night, when they burned Mrs.
T. J. West alive and killed W. A. Dever,
her paramour, at Mrs. West's bouse, on
Cartwright's Creek, on the Springfield
Pike, three miles north of Lebanon, Ky.
The man and woman and the latter's
little girl were the only ones in the
house, and, w hen tbe mob called Dever
to come out, Mrs. West and tbe little
girl responded, but Dever remained in
side. Just as Mrs. West reached the
door, several shots were fired at her and
she ran back into the house, but the child
remained on the outside.
The mob then fired several shots Into
the house, none of which took effect, and
after several attempts to get Itever to J
come out, tbe mob fired the building.
The intense heat finally forced Dever to
run out, and, with pistol in hand, he 1
started to a cornfield a few steps from j
luo uiumi wuTra " s nin ... u.a.u
a corn shock and was shot to death.
Mrs. West perished in the burning hout-e,
and yesterday morning her remains were
found in tbe chimney where she had
takeu refuge. Her legs and the upper
portion of the body were almost entirely
bu mod off.
W. A. Dever is the man who shot and
killed T. J. West, husband of the burned
woman, on December 7th. Since then
tbe two had been living together, and
had been warned to separate, Devor
leaves a wife and several children and
Mrs. West al leaves a Urge family.

Lively as a Cricket.
Although in tho first instance as slug
gish as a tortoise, the kidneys become as
lively as a cricket when a healthful im
pulse is given to them with Hosteller's
Stomach Bitters, a promoter of activity
in these organs which counteracts a ten
dency to their lethargy and disease. In
action of the kidneys, it should tie re
membered, is the first stage of those dan
gerous renal maladies against which the
resources of medical science are bio often
exhausted in vain. Peril is forestalled
by the Bitters, which averts Bright'a dis
ease, diabetes, dropsy, gravel and the
troubles arising from a weak bladder.
Equally efficacious is it in cheeking and
eradicating malarial, bilious and nerv
ous ailments, dyspepsia, constipation and
rheumatism. Appetite and sleep are im
proved and convaleseeuee hastened by
iu benoficent action. Either when
health is slightly or seriously impaired,
the value of this restorative and preven
tive medicine is speedily made uiauifest.
Highest of all in Leavening Tower. Latest U.S. Gov't Ivcpou
Fostoifice Toiniers.
Senator ijuay has joined tho long line
of his distinguished colleagues who havo
lieen urging the addition to ur postoftice
system of the savings department, com
monly called "postal savingn banks," but
w hich might le more properly spoken of
as one postmaster-general suggests, as
"postal savings depositories' inasmuch as
it is the savings part of the plan, and not
the banking part, that the system Is in
tended to promote, says a writer in the
Pittsburg Sunday Jw. During the last 10
years a number of statesmen have pre
sented these bills at each session, but up
to date hardly any of them have survived
their time in the committee of postof Ticew
and post roads. Senator Quay's particular
hill provides for a savings department at
all money order offices in the I'nited
States, to accept deposits of from 10 cents
to 910 and to pay interest on deposits un
der $.V. The postal savings Kinks are in
tended to offer to wage earners and chil
dren an opportunity to lay up their spare
change for the proverbial but reasonably
certain "rainy day." In country districts
banks where they make a specialty of
small deposits are not so numerous as city
folks are wont to believe, and the people
who patronize tho private and national
banks in thoso towns are ones who have
considerable money and use the banks for
convenience's sake. But in these cases
they have no absolute certainty about
their money, and this has always been a
powerful argument in favor of the postal
savings institution. Tho jieople would
have their government's guarantee, and
the average man is fairly well satisfied
with that. Moreover, money deposited in
one office would be payable at any other
depository, a very valuable consideration
with tbe migratory American citizen, who
is at homo where he hangs up his bat.
Then as the postoftice appeals to the home
so the savings depository part of it would
also be near to the people, and in the
country, esjiecially, would certainly lie a
successful departure. Thoso who advocate
tho government ownership of projects
with which all the people are concerned
favor the postal savings bank, and on D-
cemlier 13 it received a groat "lift" when
the Federation of Labor in its New York
orm vent ion urged tho establishment of a
poslal savings department and asked the
government to provide a safe place for the
people of small means to deposit the little
they have, Itcould lie done easily enough.
Postoftice people are accustomed to re-
sMinsibility, and the government has al
ready taken one step toward it in tho es
tablishment of the money order depart
ment, w hich is a great success. It would
not require many more clerks, and in a
few years would lie self-sustaining. Pot-masters-gencral
since the administration
of Mr. Cresswell in 1S71 have urged and
urged for this addition, and Postinastr
General Wanamaker went into the min
utest details and made numerous speech
es and wrote interestingly about it If
Senator Quay pushes the bill w ith the
great strength ho can muster, it would
seem that the American postal savings
depository is not far distant.
Of all the great powers of the world ouly
the United States and Germany have hes
itated to add the savings bank to their
postoftice. Great Britain's department,
established iu lSLil, easily leads. At tho
close of its first year they had ITS, 4Xi ac
counts open, and the postmaster-general
in lKi reported 8.Utl,4-tl depositors, with
over ?102,0tw,000 in the government's care.
Now one out of every eight iersonsin the
United Kingdom has a deposit, averaging
about $i0. Belgium took up the system
in ISOi, and in lsto had I,4-K,113 depositors
aud gave country people a chance to save
money through the intermediary of tho
letter-carriers. Cmada followed in lss,
and in ls. had teiS offices. Italy came
next, and paid 3 per cent interest on 2.
lOiv'tiil detsisits iu lssy. In vq France
adopted the system, and four years after
had fVt,Wii,0;lO on dciwisit in 7,.t offices,
paying .1 per cent, and the republic made
money at that. Austria took it up in lsss,
and in 1S.M had xi,77o depositors. .Sweden
swung iu line in lss, and six years later
had l,t!i offices and 27i,422 ilepoi-its from
a crown up. The business is done through
the Royal Swedish bank. Iu bsst; Hun
gary, the Netherlands and Hawaii estab
lished savings unices, and the latter little
country in lNhal 2,1 VI 1 depositors, w ho
had f.ni!i,;i:S to their credit. In the czar's
domain he proclaimed the system in Issii,
and it is carried on through the Imperial
Russian bank. The oliservalious of the
postmasters-general of these countries is
that the postal saving liauks a re' a won
derful aid to the people, they do not com
pete to any great extent with tho private
savings banks as they get a different class
of dt-NMitors and the banks do not op
pose the government's system.

A Qucmahoning township correspond
ent writes: "There Ls something peculiar
ly pleasing to the ear iu the word Qitmut
hiHuiittj, tbe name of my native township,
and I think it should Is) adopted as lhe
name of the new summer resort. Let it
be called tiutin'ihouintj JIohht, it is cer
tainly a sweeter nauio than "Mountain
House,' lhe title of tho grand hotel at
Cresson."
"I think the name Vif Itrme would
be a very suitable one for the new hotel,"
writes a Somerst Miss. "I have several
reasons for thinking so. Iu the first
place the namo is pretty and odd. Sec
ondly it suits very well the hotel's situa
tion. C. M. A."
"Could any name be lovelier for the
new hotel than .Vi!.si?"' asks a Mey
ersdale correspondent, "My recollection
of Taymau Hill is that it is kissed by the
first rays of the morning sun and is bathed
iu liquid gold at eventide. There is really
something poetic about .Sntmyaidc, and I
think the hotel people will bo real mean
if they don't choose it as one of the seven
names from which tho name of the hotel
is to be selected. M ak."
A New Baltimore lady who has been
a reader of I tie Hkkalii for the past
twenty-five years sends tho following:
"Call the new house on Tayman's Hill
Mmint M'uthiwjtoM, in honor of the father
of his country and our first president."
Tiie follow ing comes from a reader at
Dividing Ridge: "It strikes me that Mt.
llfulth-j would be an appropriate name
for the new hotel at Somerset, for the
reason that the name signifies elevation
and health. Especially should it be
named Mt. llntlthy if a sanitarium is to
burun in connection with it. I propose
this name on this Christmas day trusting
that I may have the honor of baptising
the new born babe, W. S. E,"
"I think (Jitriitith'uing Inn would be
the must suitablo title for the new resort,"
writes a Somerset girl. "Indian names,"
she continues "are altogether too rare in
this county and tho hotel management
should perpetu-tte the prettiest one left
us. By all means let the name of tho ho
tel le Jttrina.'rsiiiniJ Inn."
