Tics reir ulars walk off with the oys
ter w hile the "kickers" take the shell,
as usual.
And if (Jem. nil CVflroth bhould re
fill to pive the leader the "glad
hand'; thvu what?
Thk SlieriiPs oftiee must ay when
an ex-Sheriff can offer Vi:uiO for a
4-omniitteeiuaiiV proxy. And, "there
are others.''
Tirrnn was a singularly marked una
nimity of opinion cxprcd at the
JWki-.v-Sholier-Kooser primary. In
faet the "f.ourt House Ring'' is pretty
well welded.
What has limine of the champion
aflidarit makers that they do not
rwenr that twenty-three members of
the old t'ouiity Committee participat
ed in the fake Convention.
I'.itK'K Kikisek had I letter heave an
anchor over hoard, otherwise his per
sonal chairman already imbued with
the free silver doctrine will turn him
over bag and happifre to ( Jen. Cotlroth.
Thukoi ciilv discredited hy the voter-
at home it is hardly possible that
Messrs. ShoW-r, Kooser & Co., cau dis
lose of their large stock of politkiil
gold bricks in other parts of the county.
Th k action of President McKinley 's
counuiioiier of jxiimuiis ia dismiss
ing those -0 examining surgeons
vhose chief occujiatiou in the past
ftur years has lieen to deprive old sol
diers of their jiitt ieiisions is generally
commended.
Of course the books of the ShoWr
Kooser chainnan are ojh-;i to inspec
tion, hut its dollars to doughnuts the
chairman will not reveal the source of
the money paid to self-appointed com
mitteemen and others for holding the
rump primary.
Tit K thread-worn argument of "Scull
ring"' refiises to influence the llepul
licaii viitiN of the county. Honest
ami incorniptible public officials is
w hat the jieople demand, without dic
tation from those who have grown fat
in county oillces.
I)iMs any reasonable Iteiublican in
H-miersct county for a moment imag
ine thai ".. I. Miller, John W. Mo
tnllerand J:s. M. Cover will not bead
niiUc l as delegates to the State Con
vention? We think not- But "they"
must have their fun.
The Hkkai i Ulieves that the great
mass of the Republican voters of the
county are too loyal to party rules and
party principles to le misled by the
M-lfU!i ambition of would-be-politicians
who are attempting to destroy
the party organization.
The wail of the Mournful Prophet:
they must turn the man
agement of the party's affairs iuto oth
er bauds," acted as a Imoniorang
among the Republican voters who
have had their eyes opened iu regard
to the conduct of the Commissioners'
olliiie during the pat mx years.
That was a fine specimen of gold
brick that our old friend Joseph Han
kinsiin, of the borough of Xew lialti
more, sold Hre'r Kooser. A proxy
dated June 2"th to a Convention to in'
held March 15'th, isn't in it along side
of one of a more recent date; but any
old thing went in the rump Conven
tion. Tom Watsox, who exjiect.H to con
trol the 1'opu'ist convention at Mem
phis, next week, is out with a" new
platform, which declares for a iier
currency that shall give the people an
average of Ji-V) per capita, which he de
clares would 1 infinitely better than
the free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver. Aiwht two years ago Secretary Car
lisle announced that the fiscal year
:iding June oo, 1S07, would vindicate
the Wilson tariff bill by showing a
neat surplus of something like seven
millions of dollars. The year has chw
cd, and the surplus did not materialize
but the deficiency emtinued to grow
nntil thechange in the administration.
I'xited States agricultural pro
ducts are steadily making a market for
themselves. A large Ixmdou commis
sion house recently contracted to take
the entire product of butter of the
Iowa agricultural dejiartmeiit. Once
the product is well introduced in the
markets of the old world that can l
readily reached, the demand will stead
ily grow.
Is the russet morn of thoe p"ecful
(s-.tmmer day, while yet the dew lin
gers on the blossom, Mr. F.J. Koomt,
ma U, MO by early rixrs, standing on
hi batik fiofeu With hi osDd twhiud
ki Mir, liatvuiiig itttautly to Iwaru if L
iau har th voice of the ieoplt call
4 tig Lin to lead them frvirv political
1 windage. It is a moving and a glad
some sight.
Ix view of the boasted "uui versa!
demand for a primary," and th tire
lri hustling of Messrs. Kooser, Ilcrk
ey, Shober, Good, Ivimmel, Ilarron,
A Co., with team to convey vttters to
and from the election house and no
juetion a to political predilections
asked, it must be mortifylug to know
that lesi than two-fifths of the voters
In Somerset township took rt iu the
rump primary.
Last year Ilre'r Koow-r'n commiss
ion fc the County Convention was that
he had carried the county for Congress.
This year he was fortified with a proxy
from our old frieud Joseph Hankin
son, date I June 'Sih, and anthoriing
Mr. Kooner to represent him in a ton
venlion to be held on March tJ'th. As
a legal proposition we enter for doubts
whther lire' r Kooser was entiM-d to
take part as a Committeeman iu his
own ramp convention.
Twknty-ki x of the forty-three
niemliers of the County Committee, as
H was censtituted prior to the meeting
last Tuesday, participated in the regu
lar meeting. The fakirs claim that a
majority voted with them and took
jiert in their fake Convention. I'nlek-i

remarks at the Combine circus last
Tnewlay afternoon, rviorted In the
"rsonal organ," it appears that that
valiant warrior after freeing the
blaves traced the history of liepubli
can legislation down to the resump
tion of specie payments in 1S7S, or
aUut the time w hen he deserted the
lpublican flag for the purpose of
waging guerrilla warfare agr.in-t the
party and inirty leaders. No wonder
that the audience, composed largely of
Democrats, was unable to mi- the ier
tinencc of his remarks and asked for a
diagram.
The attempts of F. J. Kooser to
break into the preserves of General W.
II. Kooiitz have so far proved a dismal
failure. True it is that Mr. Kooser has
lieen brevetwl "Captain" and "Colo
nel" by several of the l'ittsburg daily
press, but he must continue to remain
a prix-ate here at home so lorg as the
General commands the forces of the
disorganizcrs. This fact was empha
sized at their convention last week
when the General wus lustily called
ujvm to inspire the party wreckers
with his eloquence, notwithstanding
the fact that the convention was called
t.t the iu.-tanee of Mr. Kooser. Mr.
Kooser has not yet won his spurs.
Ik, as Mr. Koor said in his fake
Convention speech, the fake primaries
were held in strict compliance with
the party rules, why were not the re
turns of the same sent to County
Chairman llerkley instead of to Mr.
Kooser' a brother-in-law, J. (!. Ogle,
Esq.? Ily what authority did Mr.
Ogle receive the returns? Did Mr.
Kooer change the rules liefore the fake
Convention, as he did iu the fake
Convention when he decreed that
there should hereafter lie no such offi
cer as Chairman pro tern, but that he
should henceforth he known as Vice
Chairman.' In Mr. Kooser' s estima
tion there is not much use in having
either rules or party. He can eaily
till the place of both.
Gkxkkal Cofkroth should not be
too fast ia constructing barracks for
the new recruits. Many of those who
iarticipated in the fake primaries were
his old-time cofiee coolers and camn
followers whom he has always had to
provide for, and of the lalance several
hundred were loyal llepublicans who
were momentarily misled, but who
will return gladly to the party fold this
fall. The oHiecr's iuarlcrs might
lie slightly enlarged, so as to provide
for "GeiiT" Koontz, "Col." Kooser,
"Col." Horner and a few others, and,
if "brother" Werner's bunk could be
widened so as to accommodate "broth
er" IJerkcy it might not come amiss.
Hut as to the rank and filc.Geuerul, we
suggest that you be not hasty in your
preparations as we think you will have
but few to provide for.
"Nevek liefore in the history of this
county has there come up from the
people such a universal demand as
this demand for a primary election,"
shrieks the hysterical organ of Messrs.
Shoi-r& Kooser. The unanimity of
sentiment was very marked in two of
the strongest Republican districts of
the county Conemaugh and Klk
Lick where no elections were held.
The demand for a primary in Summit
township, where is out of a total of 79
voters visited the polls, was truly over
whelming, while in Meyersdale, where
11 out of a total of ."14 Republican vot
ers attended the rump primary, the
demand amounted to a whirlwind. In
Roekwood, Salisbury, Continence, Up
per Turkey foot, Middlecreek, Sliade,
Milford, Stonycreek, IJrothersvalley
and all of the various other voting dis
tricts the "demand" seems to have
knocked the voters breathless.
For the purjoie of gulling Repuhli
can voters in the various districts the
"Combiners" undertake to- compare
the vote cast at the rump primary in
Somerset liorough and township with
the Republican vote cast at the gener
al election in 1h:)4, when only r; votes
were jxilled in the two districts.
For the sake of consistency and hon
esty why not compare the rump prima
ry vote with the vote cast at the pri
mary last March, when VS3 votes were
polled iu the two districts of Somerset
b irough and township? Surely there
were more Democrats and non-residents
voted at the rump primary than
voted for Mr. Kooser a year ago. Or if
this will not do, and comparison Is
sought by "universal demand of the
jieople," why not compare the rump
primary 417 votes with the vote polled
for McKinley, in the two districts
mentioned.
Xo, gentlemen ; your every day
friends and neighbors, those who are
acquainted with your political records
and characters, refused to le led by
your apron strings,
Ix his address before the rump con
vention Mr. F. J. Kooser is reported iu
the "personal organ" as having said :
"It does not seem probable that this
large vote was brought out simply on
the question of jury commissioner, di
rector of the joor and delegates, but a
large share must l accredited to a
protest against the wrong done by the
Chairman and his friends." How in
nocent the distinguished gentleman
i, to be sure. Did you not, Mr. Koos
r, threaten Hon. K. D. Miller with
oVwrwhvluiiugdufeat if he persvred
in lieing a candidate for delegate and
did you not a-sure him that the eople
would arise eu masse against him.
And did you not use similar language
to James M. Cover. And after both
had refused to accede to your wishes
did you not ride up and down the coun
ty together with Messrs. Shober, Kim
uiel, Good, and numerous others, call
ing upon your friends to rise up and
crush them? Now, be honest, with
the public, Mr. Kooser. Didn't you
parade the streets of this town on the
day of the rump primary and hysteri
cally proclaim that Chairman Iterkley
would be buried under an avalanche of
votes such as he never dreamed of?
Didn't you say that all good Repul
) icaus would vote, while the others
would remain away from the polls?
Didn't you urge and entreat voters to
go to the rump voting places against
their will? And weren't you just a lit
tle wee, tiny bit disappointed "under
the conditions surrounding this elec
tion" at a total vote In the county of
only I'!. Some ieople are uncharita
ble enough to lielieve, Mr. Kooser, that
the primary was called at your instance
for the purpose of rehabilitating your
political fortunes, o fearfully jolted
lat fall, when you labored to elect a
free silver representative to Congress
from this district.

TEE LEGISLATURE ENDED.
It Adjoaracd Finally oa Tnuriday.
The legislature complied it work at
two o'clock Thursday afternoon and ad
journed finally. Tho noiitenlions of tho
long ses-ions ended in the greatest ap
parent harmony. Tho vexed question of
revenue, which has been most talked
aliout of late by thoso who knew least
about it, was very satisfactorily settled
by passing bills that will increase the
state revenue about two and a-half mil
lion dollars, thus allowing the appropria
tions to the public selxHils and tho nor
mal schools to remain as heretofore, and
allowing ail deserving ehnritiea to le
properly taken care of. Tho new meas
ures provido revenue as follows: Ad
dition to tho liquor license foes, $VX,0t,
dim inheritance tax fT.'iO.UIll; brewers'
state license fees, ?70,Ani; inereaso on
mercantile licenses, ,(: smaller
revenue measures, f750,Wl.
With all that h-vs been said alioitt the
iniquities of this legislature by writers
paid for that purpose, now that the ses
sion in concluded and the work summed
up.it is t lie concensus of opiniontli.it
this legislature will take rank as the
cleanest and most economical in twenty
years. A legislature in not to bo judged
by the bilU introduced into it by individ
ual members, but by tho bills it finally
passes. Few, if any of tho vicious meas
ures projKised got through. All the ex
pense bills of committees that the public
has heard so much of were cut down
enormously Iwsfore passed, it being esti
mated that nearly f 150,0(10 were saved in
this way alone. Chairman Wilson's in
surance investigating committee had by
far the smallest bill fc3 and it was
specifically itemized, no member being
allowed one cent for personal expousea.
The last bill passed by the house was
the measure giving county commission
ers of the different counties the right to
make bicycle roads, and use ten per cent
of the good roads tax money in so doing.
This bill particularly refers to Allegheny
county.
The general appropriation bill was
agreed to by fixing the appropriation to
the public schools at fll.OOO.OOO aud in
serting an item appropriating ?-SS0,000to
the State Normal schools. Mr. Coray, of
Luzerne, and Mr. Crothers, of Philadel
phia, attacked the item in the bill appro
priating f."K;,otiO to pay tho expenses of fit
ting up Urace church for the use of the
members. Chairman Marshall said Gov
ernor Hasting would axsuuie tho respon
sibility of the Grace church item.
Tho report or the conference committee
providing for the payment of flO,:iIOas
the expeustwof the visit by the legisla
ture to New York to attend the tirant
monument dedication and to Philadel
phia to attend the dedication of the
Washington monument was rejoi-tcd by
a vote of 01 to M.
In addition to the license fees fixod on
brewers, distillers, bottlers and whole
sale dealers iu liquors by the now reve
nue bill the following additional fees are
tivd on retail dealers, viz: In townships
tz making the total fee $h, in I troughs
$.!, making the total fee in cities of
first and second class ?lti, making the
total f l,i't; in all other cities 7 making
the total i-Vnx The increased lii-ense fees
above noted are to be exclusive lor the
use of the Commonwealth.
Early Passage of tha Tariff Bill ia the
Senate Predicted.
That this will probably be the last week
of the taritr debate in the senate is the
general opinion of senators. Some think
that the bill will be passed on Saturday
IhU at the furthest on Monday. This
early disposal of the bill will be far from
satisfactory to some of the democratic
senators, but fear of the wrath of their
constituents has prevented them from
resorting to anything like filibustering
tactics to delay it further.
It is impossible, at this time, to say how
long the tarilf bill will remain in confer
ence, but Chairman Dingly, who is
thoroughly posted on the sentiment of
both senators aud representatives, and
who will be at the head of the house con
ferees, expresses tho opinion that an
agreement will le speedily reached on
the bilL
Free Silver Campaign Plana.
New York, July 3. The free silver
leaders are preparing to welcome the
ISryan missionary wagons when they ar
rive here from the West, They are to
start from Kansas and Nebraska, this
month, for the "enemy's country," and
are expected to arrive in New York just
about the time John C. Sheehan will be
rallying the Tammany Hall tigers ami
Thomas C. Piatt will be engaged in a
bout with the Citizen' Union.
The idea of Hryan missionary wagons
and their trip from the free silver West
to the gold bug Fast, was the suggestion
of Walter Vrooman, the author of the
book entitled "The New Democracy."
Kach wagon will be accompanied by
two orators, aud they will speak at every
cross-road village, every town and every
city between the stalling int and Widl
street.
Money is beiug raised in Kansas and
Nebraska to defray tho expenses of tho
"Bryan missionary wagons."
Temperance Srinki Intoxicate.
St. Lons Mo., July 2. There are ;
twenty-live gaudily painted drinking
fountains on as many corners at intervals
of three blocks in the downtown districts
which are maintained by ladies of the
Women's Christian Temperance I'niop.
Thtwe fountains, which are of the nenny
in the slot variety, contain w hat the
ladies call a "delicious, purely medicinal,
healthful, non-alcoholic lieverage, guar
anteed harmless to the smallest child
cherry phosphate,"
Yesterday the White Ribboncrs receiv
ed a shock, w hen Ir. Felix W. Garcia,
a chemist, after an analysis publicly an
nounced that when the phosphate is tak
en into the stomach the starch of the
sugar, in combination with other ingre
dients, is converted iuto pure alcohol.
Modified Civil Service Law.
President McKiuley wilt make the
change recommended by Secretary (Sage
in the status of I eputy Collectors and
cashiers in the Customs and internal Rev
enue services apply to all except those in
the central Customs and Internal Reve
nue offices.
Deputy Collectors and cashiers in what
are called "outside offices" will lie taken
out of tho classified servii-e, on the theory
that. Wing special representatives of the
Collectors, the latter should l allowed
to chone them without reference to the
Civil Service Commission.
This is up to date the only concession
w hich President McKinley has made to
th politicians who have been urging
him to rescind or modify by wholesale
e.vemntions the extensions of the classi
fied service made by President Cleveland
last year.
Cereal Coffee Drinkert BEWARE!
If you have been deceived and ttld
one of the cheap bran sulistilutes now on
the market, claiming to be the original
and to have great fond value, and you got
a pound of poorly roasted bran for your

(what can you expect from bran), dou't
be discouraged hut try ORAIN-O. It is
made from solid grain, nicely browned
and 3 pounds for 20c. (irain-O takes the

From Blindness to Active Basiness ia
Twenty-Eight Says.
ine year ago Mr. A. M. Cunningham,
Ottawa, Kansas, found himself blind in
one eye from catarai-t and tho other fail

npou by an occulist in St. Joe, Mo., re
sulting in a painful confinement and a
totally blind eye. Tho other was now
too blind bo do business. He then came
to Piltsliiirg for the express purpose of
placing himself under tho skillful rare of
Dr. Sadler, 801 Penn avenue, whose rep
utation for success in cataract his extend
ed throughout the length and bret 1th of

added another laurel to the doctor's cred

To which would you prefer to belong?
Tho regular, undoubtedly. The irregu
lars are, admittedly the most numerous,
but they are iu a very undesirable state
of no discipline. Hosteller's Stomach Bit
ters will soon remedy this want in a dis
ordered liver or bowels. Biliousness
manifests itself in yellowness of the skin
aud eyeballs, sour breath, furred
tongue, morning nausea, discomfort in
the vicinity of the liver, vertigo and aick
headache. Hosts of people suffer thus.
These signs of insubordination to the
goverauce of health, together with an ir
regular condition of the lsiwels, ars soon
regulatod by the Bittery which also
overcomes malaria, dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, neuralgia, nervousness and kidney
trouble. As a means of ciiecking prema
ture decay, hastening convalescence, and
mitigating the Infirmities of age, the
, great tonic is without a parallel.

The Pennsylvania Bailroad's Popular Ex
curiions to the Serihore.
No other summer outing appeals so
strongly to the people of western Penn
sylvania as the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company's popular excursions to the
seaiast of New Jersoy. For years they
have been looked forward to as the holi
day event of each summer. The secret
of their great popularity is the phenome
nally low rate and the high character of
the service. Tho limit of twelve days
just fits the time set apart for the average
vacation, and the dates of the excursion
are most conveniently adjusted. There
is also the widest field for choice iu the
selection of a resort. Atlantic City, Cape
May, Sea Isle City, and Ocean City are
the choicest of tho Atlantic coast resorts,
and any one of them may be visited un
der these arrangements. Tho list this
year includes also Iteholstth, Del., and
Ocean City, Md.
Tho dates of the excursions are July 15,
and 2!i, and August 1.1 and 21. A spe ial
train of Pullman parlor cars and day
coaches will leave Pittsburg on above
mentioned dates at 8:.Vt a. in., arriving at
Altoona 12:l.i p. in., where stop for din
ner will Is) made, reaching Philadelphia
1:2." p. m., and arriving Atlantic City, via
the Delaware River Bridge route, at 8.10
p. m., making the run from Pittsburg to
the seashore via the only allrail route in
eleven hours and lorty-five minutce.
Passengers may also spend the night in
Philadelphia, and proceed to the shore
by any regular train from Market street
wharf or Broad street station the follow
ing day.
Tickets will also lie gaod on regular
trains leaving Pittshurg at t: to and 8:10
p. in., both of which will carry sleeping
cars through to Atlantic City.
For detailed information iu regard to
rates ami time of trains apply to ticket
agents, or Mr. Thomas K. Watt, District
Passenger Agent, Pittsburg.
Women Ban Tbat Town.
Last spring tho women of the little
town of Js-nestown, in Cloud county.
Kan., organized and elected an entire
ticket of worn in, from tho mayor down.
They protn' 1 to rid the town of saloons
and gambling. After a fight for two
mouths they were compelled to take the
law into their hands, and, aoirdingly,
on Friday a band of resolute women,
shorliy after midnight, went to Miller's
saloon with axes, hatchets aud hammers
and smashod tho building and furniture
into fragments.
Beer and whisky were spilled in the
streets ami the Itar, furniture and fix
tures were S4-attered about the premises.
A notice was posted warning Miller to
leave the town aud threatening venge
ance on any others who should under
take to run a saloon or joint in tho town.
