A Ginerocs Act.
Shortly after dusk Monday evening a
craggy looking pir of horsoft drawing a
covered wagon pulled up at the liarn of
the Hotel Vannear. Th driver was an
intelligent looking man of alxmt forty
years, and huddled together in tho Is.x of
the wagon back of him were a woman
with three or four aniall children. The
man asked if he and the other members
of the family might sleep iu the lru over
night, which by the way w as decidedly
the coldest night of the present winter.
Mr. Yannear, to whom the request was
mde, replied, "No, I can't allow you to
take these little children into the barn,
but I w ill give you a couple of warm
rooms in my hotel, where you and your
family can spend the night." Tho faces
of the mother and children beamed with
delight when tbey heard this generous
proposition and all were profuse in their
thanks to the kind landlord. The fami
ly were provided with warm bupjier be
fore they retired and a substantial break
fast before they departed the next morn
ing. The man said that he had left his
home near Richmond, Va., several years
ago, having accumulated enough mouey
to buy a small farm in Illinois. Crops
turned out bad and he was compelled to
place a mortgage ou the farm in order to
keep his family from starving. Six weeks
ag he decided to leuirti to bis old homo ;
not having the means to travel by rail, ho
gathered his faw piessions together and
placing them in the farm wagon along
w ith his family they set out ou their long
journey.

Fvcrybody in and about Somerset

Jacob patiuutly submitted ta the

his life of e dibacy, but at the saaie time
"winked the other eye" whon ho thought
of the lady at w h.se feet he had de
termined v Isiw. One day last week he
visited the oilice of Register and Record

which would permit him to marry the
girl of his choice, and Thursday after
noon he w as radiant with smiles w hen he
stepped before Klder U. D. Braucher
with the bride-elect M iss Annie K.
Meyers on his arm. The words that
made tho two lives one were soon spok
en. The bride is a daughter of Mr. Will
iam Meyers, of Mil ford township, and is
one of tho most estimable young ladies iu
the county. The groom is one of the
most thrifty and upright young men
about town and will make a model hut

Legis'ated into Bankruptcy.
The II Kit ai.i acknowledges the receipt
of papers and a letter from Win. McMil
len, formerly a resident of Addison
township, this county. Mr. McMillen
recently returned from a. visit to points
in Kansas and Nebraska to his home in
Atlantic, Iowa. He says: "Kansas has,
through Popiwrati.; legislation of the last
three yeirrs, legislated the State into bank
ruptcy, capitalists have been compelled
to withdraw their investments owing to
the unjust legislation and discrimina
tion against them, and so long as present
political conditions exist that State will
remain so poor that the only hope the
people have of successful resurrts-tion is
to fertilize the soil under which the re
mains of tho present popocratic rulers
have been buried. Yet, for the sake of
the interest we feel iu our neighloring
State, we indulge the hope that honesty
and justice will prevail in the near fu
ture over the iguonin-3 and prejudice of
the present administration. Nebraska
has also elected a Popx-ralic verur
and legislative Ixxly and tho people of
that State are shuddering at the dose
they have dealt for themselves. In Oma
ha I learned that a bank had made appli
cation to Kastcrn capitalists for in..ney o
supply stock feeders a-id received the fol
lowing reply : 'We will meet all de
msns from good Iowa men nothing for
Nebraska. Another applicant for Fast
en! capital rc-eive' this reply : "Nebraska-!
is not on our !i:.t.
The facts are that K-tstern capital will
lie withdrawn from tha Stat-3 since the
legislative popgun has already leen fir
ing against the general interests and wel
fare of the Commonwealth. Money risks
investment where it finds safe protection,
a lesson the legislatures of Kansas aud
Nebraska have yet to learn."
The Compsaion Calendar.
It is said that the expense of making
the Companion Art Calendar for lsp? was
so great that had it l n published in the

pages. Fa.-h figure is lithographed in
twelve colors. Is iug a true reproduction
of the original water-color painting,
wlii. h was selected because of its exeel-len.-e
of design and charm of color and
tone. The size of each of the four fold
ing pages is inj by inches.
It is by far the bast piece of color work
the Companion has ever otTen-d. Both
as a calendar and as a gem of the litho
grapher's art, it is so attractive that it lie
comes a valuable addition to the mantle

SoatA of VnraMo Citiiea.
Died at his residence in Salisbury, on
Thursday evening, iiolh inst., Casper
Loechol, in the 8lst year of his ago.
This waa a sudden call on the part of
ths tirini K-aper beneath whose koe'i
sickle all must fall, lor Mr. Loeuhel, not
withsuudiug hia advanced years, had
boeu enjoying a fair degree of health and
had beou seen on tho streets during the

dusk ho complaiued of feeling unwell,
aud at 10 o'clock all was over.
Indeed, so unlooked for was a happen

young, lauding, we think, at Baltimore.
Karly in tho forties he settled at Salis
bury, where with an interval of perhape
four or five years spent on the Jonaa
Bcachy farm in Klk Lick, he resided ail
the remaining years of his llfo, following
his trade of shoemaker, of which, being
au export master, he never lacked em
ployment and did more or less work on
the bench almost to the last day of hia
life.
A life-long member of the Lutheran
Church, Mr. Loechel reared to resp-nr'a-blo
manhood and womanhood a large
family of sons and daughters, all of
whom he lived to see settled in life, and
who with his aged wife, survive him to
niouru a loss in which they have the
heartfelt sympathy of all their friends
aud ncighliors. "V.

D. W. Rokertsox :
Dkar Sir Tlieeutortainment given by
the Tyrolean Troubadours and Mr. Kan
soin, imtier the ausphres of the Fanw-.iod
Council Arcanum, at Sjotctj
Plains, N. J., on the evening of Decem
ber Ilth, was in every sense of the word
a success.
All who attended the comvrt were
delighted with the melodious music, and
also with Mr. Ransom's refinement and
dexterity.
It was a source of much gratification to
the entertainment committee to be told by
uuml-ers of people that it was the most
satisfactory entert iument given in Sxeh
Plains in many years and that means a
great d'l more than appears on the sur
face. Thanking you lor your personal
courtesy. I leg to remain.
"Yours very cordially,
Hknkv A. Halu

Mr. Bryan now announces that he is
w illing to stand one si.'e and give Mr.
McKinley a fair chance to make every
Ixsly rich and happy. If the trial fails
if waste continues to make w ant, if the
lazy and incompetent and dishonest do
not succeed then the country may apply
at Lincoln, Neb., for a wonder-worker to
change all tho proverbs and reverse
the laws of trade and of Nature itself.
This threat to continue the silver agita
liqii ought to serve as a solemn warning
to iuc Republicans. Ii should spur them
on to pass at the earliest possible date a
law putting an end to tho fiovernmenl's
control of the supply of currency, and so
make assuramre doubly sure for the fu
ture. Above all, it should bite into their
minds a deep conviction of the folly of
talking governmental paternalism of auy
kind. They cannot meet Bryan's chal
lenge by offering Protection or any other
nostrum in the place of Free Silver.
They must deny utterly that it is the duty
of government to make everybody pros
perous and contented. The only way to
face a demagogue is to attack him on first
principles, not merely to try deftly to
to turn his flank. Neither Bryan nor
McKinley, neither Democrats nor Repub
licans, nor the immortal gods themselves,
can make legislation do the work of in
dustry and thrift and honesty and self
reliance. New York Evening Post.
Four-Eyed Cat.
Sas Fraxi-isi-o, Nov. ii. Max, the
handsome Maltese pot of Miss Thonip
son, of this city, is perhaps the only iat
on record that wears spectacles.
Misa Thompson says she has owned
Max since her early youth aud has fonnd
him a most invaluable possession besides
being a loving littlo companion in her
loud in ess.
A few months sgo, much to her dis
tress, Miss Thompson discovered that
Max was lsing his eyesight, eo she car
ried him to a well known oculist to lie
treated. At first the man of science re
fused to make the experiment, scarce
knowing ho.r to begin, but at Mis
Thompson's suggestion ho secured a line
and the picture of a iiioiisa, and by hold
ing these alternately and at varying dis
tances bofore Max, was finally enabled to
test his eyes quite thoroughly.
After the necessary treatment the doc
tor fitted Max with a pair of glasses, the
gold frames having to be made to order,
of course, and now the big cat looks as
wise aa the proverbial owl with hia doub
le eyes, and Miss Thompson declares his
sight is as good as new again.
Judge Longenecker to presiding at the
special term of Court it ssslon this week
Schools of the Stat.
N. C. Schaeffer, superintendent of pub
lic instruction of Pennsylvania, has Just
submitted his annual rejiort to Guv.
Hastings for the yeur ended June 1 last.
While it show great progress iu the
school syst'-m Ihero is no evi.IeiK-e to in
dicate l hat I hi large nppropriation of
f.,jO0,0O) is ellectiiig auy substantial in
crease of the salaries of teachers or ad
ding to the length of tho school term.
Tho iucrease in the salary of male teach
ers was only 195 cents a uiont while the
salary of female teachers underwent a
decrease of ti cents.
Superintendent Schaeffer refers to the
last United States census to show that as
a rule tho earning power of the industrial
cl asHes rises as the percentage of illiter
acy falls. He also says tho modorn fac
tory is thriving upon educated labor, and
that its development has helped the in
tellectual progress.of the masses. Supr.
Schaetrer also urged a lilieral appropria
tion for higher education, especially a
system that would benefit the rural pop
ulation. Compulsory education, says Superin
tendent SchaotTer, has steadily decreased
tho number ol children employed in the
manufactures. He claims it was neces
sary "to banish illiteracy and to make
ignorance impossible." The law in
Pennsylvania, lie says, has not been fully
tried aud many defects in it will appear
which must I remedied by future legis
lation. Compulsory vaccination is not
favored by tho Superintendent, and he
says it serves to neutralize the compul
sory education law. It is better, he
thinks, to educate tho pupils aud parents
iu the laws of health. With few excep
tions the school houses have perfect sani
tary arrangements, and this is a point
that cau not be too closely watehed.
Supt, Schaeffer makes a caustic refer
ence to tho "sharks" w ho appeared when
the school appropriation was raised to
5."i,onu,U(KI. Agents for charts, maps and
blocks iuduced many uninformed school
boards to purchase their high-priced
goods. This the superintendent terms
extravagance, and issues a warning
against it.
Of the distribution of tho school appro
priation the superintendent says : "It
discriminates against the districts which
lack industries to hold their adult popu
lation and in favor of the districts to
ward which the young people gravitate
as soon as their school days are ended.
It is needless to say this method fails to
carry out the theory w hich makes it the
duty of the Stite to provide at public ex
pense equal common school advantages
for all its youth."
The teachers employed, according to
Supt. Schaeirer, are as a rule competent,
and under the present system, only those
properly qualified can secure isitions.
The studies are advancing iu tone, and a
noteworthy feature of tho text books is
that they have begun to treat the State
government as of equal importance with
that of the Nation.
Ought to b Taught in the Fablio Schools.
While singing and drawing, says the
Philadelphia Record, are considered by
some good authorities in education to be
respectively as essential to human happi
ness aud progress as are reading aloud
and writing, there is no d .ubt almut it
that a knowledge of the nature aud
uses of common things is of equai impor
tance. Tako the volatile and inflamma
ble kerosene, for instance, which is used,
in one way or another, in every house
from which children go out to school. If
not used for cooking in the oil stove, it
may lo abused for kiudliug the breakfast
tire; it iivt used for lighting, it may bo
put in the wash-boiler; if used for light
ing, it may carricahout in glas lamps,
easily broken, or smiled over the apron
that is presently to be worn close to the
kitchen range. In every way, since the
elders are so negligent with if, the school
children ought to bo taught its dangers.
It was far more important that tho little
girl who went bust week directly from
tilling the lamps to stand in front of the
fire should have known all about kero
sene than to lie able to bound the States
of South Africa. She w as fatally burned
by the blaze that started on her clothes
immediately; and all the boundary les
sons of the geography liook did her no
good, nor the arithmetic book either, iu
this other fatal ignorance.
Surely there might be made room, even
in tho "expanded course of study," for
plain talks on comtnon things that cot
ton will blaze for instance, while wool
will only scorch. Articles iu everyday
use are safe or otherwise as they are un
derstood. Not even older people seem
to lie well informed as to the dangers of
es-upi:ig coal gn.s, judging from the way
in whi.-n they turn off ail tho dampers so
as to save coal at night, an i forget that
they are liable to lie sulfonated. There is
a safety sint iu turning off the draughts
in stove or range which shown be known
by all little Ameri.-ans, not only those in
the classes who may now have to lend a
hand at home in domestic duties.
Teachers, Attention !
Tho "Ideal Music Course" wilt lie
used at the Institute next week. Bring
your books with you to the Institute.
Foretold Eis Death,
York, Pa., Now '). Nelson Thomp
son, who died yesterday, foretold his
death three weeks ago, although he was

Klk Creek, Jackson county, Ore., is
said to be tinged red with the blood of

A decree was issued Thursday by Gen
eral Weyler notifying all growers of corn
in the province of Pinar del Rio, Havana
and Manlanzas to ship all corn in their
possession to thenearest towns and settle
ments. After Iecembcr 30 all corn found
in the possession of farmers will bo re
garded as contralmnd of war, aud its
owners will be liable to criminal proceed
ings. A paper from Minnesota says : "Corn
will lie burned for fuel this winter in
many sections of Minnesota aud South
Dakota. Coal is two dollars a ton dearer
than last year, and, w ith corn at eleven
cents a bushel, it is much more valuable
s fuel than food. It makes an excellent
fire, and an ear of corn makes more heat
than its bulk in wood."
