I.imtwrt, J. i. Vle, D. J. Horner, W. II. KoontJ!, A. F. Dickey, F. J. Kooser. '1 he above letter, which had been sent to a solect few In each voting precinct of the county, brought together some forty geulleult n last Tuesday evening a week, who proceeded to "compare notes" in a manner that was new and novel in the political history of the county. Representative Kendall presided over the gathering, and when he assumed the chair it was though; by some of the unin itiated that he would take advantage of the opportunity to explain his very ques tionable conduct in connection with the bill to salary certain county officials, after which bis colleague, Representative Koontz, would t-e giveu a chance to di late on the many !enefilthat would have accrued to the people, aud how the causo of tempcrani-e would have been advaucxd, had his bill to allow distillers to sell by retail and saving them tho trouble of ol taining a lii-ense from the court, been en acted into a law, and, incidentally, to sho-A- that his constituents were all wrong in their opposition to extend ing the minimum school trm to seven mouths, and, closing, perhaps, w ith a brief eulogy of George A. Jenks, the lata Democratic candidate for L". S. Senator. We say this was thought of by some of the uninitiated, but those ou the inside knew that there were matters of a tn.ire serious character on baud and were not surprised when a motion to proceed to business by the selecting of a cauditlate for Sheriff was made. This was quickly agreed to and the question of a caudidate for Prothonotary was next tackled. This was more serious problem s the can didates were mauy for this desirable office the emoluments of which it is said permit paying ihe present clerk f lot) per month and all were b nt upon making the run. After much consultation and "comparing uotea" It was decided that B. K. Puiliu, X. II Berkey, . P. Shaver, aud one or two other gentlemen would have to surrender their very laudable ambi tion of becoming candidates for Prothon otary at this time, or be knifed in the camp of their friends, as Commissioner Kiiniiiell was irreconcilable aud would kick clear over the traces ifhisuianwas not endorsed. John R. Boose, who had made the run for Register aud Recorder thre years ago and was anxious for another try this year, was treated with scaut courtesy and was unceremoniously kicked off the track, a ex-Commissioner Sbober had a special candidate of his own for that par ticular office, as he also had for several other ofHees, including that of County Commissioner. There was uo trouble in selecting a cau didate for Treasurer, for Poor Director aud two for County Auditor, but the rub came when the County Commissioner question waa taken up. Four candidates were under consideration : U. D. Brauch er, W. X. Moser, Joseph Horner and P. J. Bowman. Of the four Mr. Sbober had selected his two and he was determined to get them, and he got them, but not without much "comparing of notes" by j those present. It wa getting well on towards morning , when the conference adjourned and the ComuiUsioner question waa still unset tled, but it was left to a committee of five, appointed by the Chair, to decide, and they met in Somerset Monday and settled it, with the result that Shober turned the trick on his fellow "bosses," aud "Joe" Horner and "Pete" Bowman are not candidates for County Commissioner j this year ; some other year, perhaps. And thus it has come to pass that the voters have a ticket already made for them by these few "bosses" who met to "compare notes," and will be saved the trouble of deciding for themselves for whom they shall vote. Just what the people will say to this and how kindly they will take to the scheme remains to be seen. And these are the gentlemen who have beeu bowling against "bosaism," and giving that as their reasou for opposing Senator Quay, and occasionally boiling regularly nominated Republican tickets they were opposed to "bosses" and "bossism." Was ever a more arrogant piece of "bossisni" attempted ? The gentleman who acted as Secretary of the "comparing notes" meeting iaqtio ted as having declared himself Wednes day morning to the effect that he had been voting the Independent ticket and opposing "bossism" since 1S82, but the way "Sam" Shober bossed the meeting of the previous night and practically dicta ted a ticket and ordered every Independ ent in the unty to support it beat any thing he had ever heard of. The muttering of the friends of the various candidates, who have Iteen o summarily dealt with end bowled out of the fit-Id. are loud and deep, and the re marks cf the deposed candidates would not look w ell in print. For a meeting that ws called simply to "compare notes" it waa a sun-dowuer, and no mistake. And the "lake" organ, whose several editors and proprietors were present and active participants iu the meeting, with its usual enterprise in not publishing the news, did not have a word to say of this remarkable gathering other than to try to "fake" its readers wkh the following : "Sixtv-five representative Republicans from the towns and townships of this county met at Somerset on Tuesday even ing and organized a McKinley Republi can league."

The War Colt Orar $303,033,030. A number of attempts have been made to fix the real cost of the war with Spain, but none so far has been consider ed accurate. With the payment of fiO.OOO,- 000 indemnity for the Philippines to Spain it is now estimated that the total cost of the war to the United States certainly ex ceeds 3,(XW,U3.

But in making up all accounts of war expenses, the indemnity will al ways be counted. Counties Can't Keep Tax. Governor Stone Friday vetoed the bill permitting county treasure's to send to the State Treasury only one-fourth of the personal property tax. This bill was in tended to permit county treasurers to re tain three-fourths of the tax which is paid into the State Treasury and then re turned to the counties. The Governor says it is a St:tte tax and must be paid in to the State Treasury before it can be re turned to the counties, under the act of ISfU. He suggests that the bill is uncon stitutional.

In vlaw of tho fact that smallpox is ep idemic at Windrter and at other point ia the north of the county, and iho posihil ity of its spread into other districts, tho following suggestions from the Pittsburg Dispati-b, telling how ihe Bureau of Ueallh iu that city handles the disease to prevent its spread is iuterestiug : "As soon as the City Physician diag noses s case of the disease he sets a guard on the house aud no one can leave after that until the period of incubation has ben passed and the pl'-iee has been faml kt ?1 and prbips b-d li.ig mi d ithiag burned. If any one goei Into ths place he or she must remain tho re. In this way lh ium-ales are tuialiln t work, aud cau not gi out to laiy food and fuel to c..k It, even if tbey have money. Their money would be look o. I upon w:n as much suspicion, Us), as a couuterfoit, for if it passed to some oue else It might con vey the infection. Tbey are as completely shut off as the garrisou of Santiago was, for no one comes near the big, staring placard, "Smallpox Here." "The health inspectors immediately re port to the Department of Cbsrities that there are so many people mL .t up at such an address and the department gives the iospeotor ?2or $') to last for 44 hours or a. Ther6 is no stint. The Health Inspector then makes arrangements with some gro cer in the neighborhood of the quaran tined bouse and the inmates are uotified that f.tod will be left for them at a certain hour. Groceries, meat, etc., are deposited outside the door, care beiug taken tint u tthing Is left that will have to be re turned. If It is necessary to put things in a basket which the inmates will handle. tho liasket is destroyed. If milk is sent in a bottle, the gl issware is thrown away, broken. Just now the department has half a dozen quaraulined houses to loon after. The department supplies the mon ey, and tho Health inspectors make the arrangements. "C.ial is sent at Intervals, and when the order is given to the driver, it is always marked iu big letters, "Smallpox," so that he may be cautious not to go inside the house to see any of the people. He usu ally gets the fuel into the cellar without seeing any of those quarantined." Grain 0 Brings Belief to the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is a habit thai is universally indulged in and almost as universally injurious. Have you tried Grain OT His almost likecotlee but the effects are just the oppiwitn. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins the digestion, affects the heart and disturbs the whole nervous system. Graia-o tones up the stomacli, aid digestion and strengthens the nerves- There is nothing but nour ishment in Grain O. It can't be other wine. 13 and 2ic. per package. Insurance If ait bo Paid. A verdict was reudered by a Frankliu county jury Friday ag-iinst tho German American Fire Insurance Company, which is important from the fact that judgment was obtained against the In surance company not only for the face value of the policy, but with Interest add ed. On July 2S, l.S!7, Samuel Xeedy. of Waynesboro, obtained a policy of insur ance fir S'iiK) on 127 barrelsr.f spirits stor ed In United States bonded warehouse. Subsequently he withdrew Pi barrels and on Xovember ti, lrt.C, tire warehouse and its contents were destroyed by fire. The company was at once notified of the loss. but refused to pay the face value and pro posed au adjustment. The plaintiff de clined the proposition and entered suit to recover the face value of the policy. The suit consumed three days, and was bitterly contested. The plaintiffs attor neys claimed that insurance men are in the habit of taking as large risks as tbey can parsuade a person to give, and that they are willing to accept the premium on the same; but when a fire takbs place it is at ouce claimed that the property was insured for more than its value. The jury evidently thought so too, for tbey brought in a verdict for Leiug the face value with interest. LAI.r I. It HA V I. UN ib bant in tba w r! 1. ?rif HI sup- TWIKE S lr- yu.
