The Somerset Herali EDWARD 8CCLL, Editor and Proprietor, WfciESOAY ..June 21, 1B. The Drtijoomlic convention was an omalous in that it wan for Bryan, but againnt free silver. A ll signs must fail if the lu-jujhliraD vou?r9 of the county do uot give tbe "bosse?" a ruucli needed leeo on "in teUigeut" voting, and ont tbat will be loug reojenibered, at Saturday's primary- Honest dealing aud fairplay are jewels that moet meu prize highly, and the caudidate who attempts to weaken his opponent by circulating untruthful and slanderous reports about him only digs a pit into which be himself will booLt-r or later fall. As tiik Ife-publican National Con vention will meet tirst next year and adopt a plank against trusts, the Dem ocratic managers must look around for Kome other paramount issue. A Re publican plank against trusts is as old as the platform of Js-SS. Kvkkv Republican voler fchould care fully scan the list of candidates before making up bis ballot, and should select the man of bis choice regardless of what a few self-constituted "bosses" may say and without being influenced by any of the lying, malicious and un signed circulars that have been distrib uted broadcast over the county during the past ten day. It was a 6U Louis editor, we believe, who baid that Dot more than one-half of the lies that were told about bim were true. If one half of the lies told in a recent Sunday edition of the Phil adelphia Press about an esteemed fellow-citizen are true, the people of this community have lived In happy igno rant for lo, these many years. But, we have scripture for it, "a prophet is not without honor save iu bis owu ouritry." Th'r-E Bryan I)euiocrats who are now denouncing President McKinley so roundly for bis modification of Cleveland's eleventh hour partisan civil service rule, and claiming that the Chicago platform must be reaffirm ed without the dotting of an "i" or the crossiiig of a "t" would do wtll to cast an eye on that plank, worded as fol lows: "We are opposed to life tenure in the public ervic. We favor appointment IuummI upon merit, fixed terms of othce. Mid duch an administration of the eivil hJTvioe laws as will afford equal opportu nities lo all citizens of ascertained liuiess." Xot content with the efforts of their home talent to "learn the people bow to vote intelligently," the "bosses" have imiiorted several very smooth bridge agents who are riding up and down the county giving "instruct ions" and "arguments" to such voters as they can "approach." The motive that would prompt bridge companies, who receive contracts for all the bridg es built by the county, to send their ageuts and money into this county in behalf of the "bosses' " candidates for Commissioner and Protbonotary the latter being clerk to the Commissioners is readily dihremable. And for all this, if the "busses" are successful, the taxpayers will have to pay in the end. The Pennsylvania Democrats held their 8tate Convention in Harrisburg Wednesday and Thursday of last week aud nominated the following ticket: Justice of Supreme Court, Judge R. L. Meslreaat, of Fayette county; Judge of the Superior Court, Charles J. Reilly, of Lycoming county; State Treasurer, William T. Creasy, of Columbia county. Judge Mestrezat's election, according to the Constitution, is assured, and, a there is at present a vacancy on the Su preme Bench, the probabilities are that Jovernor Stone will appoint him to fill the vacancy. As for Reilly and Creasy, they have simply been set up to be bowled down by the Republican voters of the State next November. How delightful it is to read the follow ing few line from the Pittsburg Leader, iu the light of the fiery denunciations of Senator Fiinn, of so-called hossisin in pol itic. The Leader is speaking hereof the .Magee-Ftiiin method of makiug nomin ations as illustrated at the recent prima ries in Allegheny county: -Only one candidate for oilioe oflered himself in oppiiion to the slate. This was George S. Weir, of O' Hara township, who had announced himself as a candi date for Couuty Commissioner and set up delegates in several hundred election dis tricts The power of the pay-roll was utilized to crush Mr. Weir out of exist ence, his delegates being pulled down wherever possible or else beaten by famil iar riug methods wherever the other plan failed. The "organization" is habitually used in this way to prevent any Republi can from being nominated aside from the persons slated by the bosses." This statement of fads by the Leader is doubly significant liecause of the fact that the leader is a Republican paper. Mr. Flinn may be a reformer some good ly men have averred that he is but the species of reform which he advocates is -altiiated to give one the hysterics these warm days. Philadelphia Inquirer. Sexatuk Fi.ixx, referred to in the above item, is the Insurgent leader whom Representatives Koontz aud Kendall blindly followed in bis free booting expedition at Harrisbiirg. He evidently gave them some lessons iu t bossism, and outlined for them tbe plan which they are now. attempting to carry into execution that is, to set up a ticket of their own, and then try to threw dust into the people's eyes by shouting against "one man power" and "ring rule." The "McKinley League" is very similar to the "Phil adelphia plan," which "Boss" Flinn works bo successfully in Allegheny county. "Bosses" Koontz and Ken dall appear to be very apt scholars. Representatives Koontz and Ken dall are asking Somerset county Re publicans to endorse their record at Harrisburg last winter by electing their personal representatives, Horner and Boose, delegates to the State Conven tion. And what hi the record they made? Party treason, party disloyal ty, minority rule, an entire session wasted, and thousands of dollars of the taxpayers' money squandered in a boot less effort to defeat tbe will of the ma jority and prevent the election of the party's nominee to the United States Senate. What measures of interest or looking to the welfare of tbe people of S wierset county did Assemblyman Koontz introduce? Did he use his in fluence and eloquence to prevent the passage of the seven months school bill, or did he simply content himself by voting against it, thereby tbiukicg to hoodwink bis constituents? Was the bill introduced by him to allow distil lers to sell their product by retail and without procuring a Hoense from the court in the interest! of the taxpayers .... .... ' J ana lor me good of the community? Was tbe withholding of the proposed bill to salary certain cc-anty ofticikls until the time in which it could be properly introduced had passed an act of good faith ou the part of R present- atives Koontz and Kendall, and should such trifling with the desires of their constituent be endorsed? The record of Assemblymen Koontz and Kendall is a brief and barren one.. If you wish to endorse it, Bepublicaus, vole for their personal representatives, Horner and Boose. If you disapprove of it, and believe in the priueiples of the Re publican party and all they represent, vote for two loyal, ancompromising Re publicans, Edward Hoover aud Kred Kowe, to represent you iu the .State Convention. Tai Democratic SUU Tiekst. From the Ftiitadeipbia Inquirer. After a degree of labor out of all pro portion to tbe importance of the result sod a strenuous ooa.est indicative of the nerce desire on the part of those takiug part iu It to enjoy the dUtinetion of nam ing a candidate who, thanks to the law of minority representation, can not possibly be defeated, the Democratic State Conven tion in Harrisburg, yesterday agreed up on a ticket Here it is : For State Treasurer, WILLIAM T. OK EASY, of Columbia County. For Supreme Court Judge, D. L. MF.STRF.ZAT, of Fayette Coun y. For Superior Court Judge, CUARLF.S J. REILLY, of Lyooming County. So far as the public it aware, William T. Creasy's sole qualification for the office of Stale Treasurer consist in the on swerving, unblushing, unoom promising vigor of bis partisanship. At a time when a good many of the wore intelli gent and self-respecting members of bis party were rather sensitive upon the sub ject of their political affiliations and some what averse to being catechised about their opinions of the Chicago platform. Candidate Creasy stepped to the front like a little man. He was a flat-footed Bryan it. Chicago platform Democrat and he didn't care who knew iU Or rather he did care. He cared very much. He wanted the fact to be made as well known as possible and as a member of the Legislature be constantly took paius to make himself conspicuous by the violence of bis partisanship. His present nomination to the State Treasu- rership is his reward, although why au ardent advocate of Bryanism, that is, among other things, of free silver and re pudiation, should be deemed especially tilted to handle public moneys, does not clearly appear. Personally M r. Creasy is an Inmost, well-meauing man, who very likely deserved something better than to !e nominated to an oflice to which Ue has no chance of being elected. The judicial nominees, while not in the first rank of the jurists of the State, may be regarded as respectable, but the preg nant fW-t about the whole ticket is that it was nominated by a crowd of men who ehouted themselves hoarse at every men tion of Bryan's name, and who, while they didn't have the pluck to adopt a Bryan platform, unmistakably showed themselves to be inspired and dominated by the Bryan spirit. All the proceedings of the convention have served to confirm tbeopinion which The Inquirer has frequently expressed. that in spite of everything the hold of Bryan and Bryanisiu on the Democratic party remains unshaken. The Kidnapper Sentenced. Nkw York, June Hi. The testimony in the case of George Barrow, charged with the kidnapping of Marion Clark, was concluded to-day with the examina tion of several witnesses, who testified to the good character of the defendant. They included former employers and people who had worked with the accused. Barrow was sentenced to fourteen years and ten months to the State prison. The trial was begun on Wednesday, when Bella Anderson or Carrie Jones, the tool of Barrow and his wife, gave her ev idence for the State. The summing up by counsel was very brief, and the case was given to the jury with a few words of in struction from the bench. The jury, after being out about Ave minutes, rendered a verdict of guilty, aud sentence was pass ed, as stated alxjve. Carrie Jones, who pleaded guilty, was seulenced to four years' imprisonment. The trial of Mrs. Btrrow, as her husband's accomplice, will follow. Patronage Beeord Broken. Washixotox, June li Senator Pen rose, General Binghatn aud Representa tive McAleer visited several departments to-day iu the interest of office-seeking constituent. Seuator Penrose said to night that he expects to submit to the Director of the Census the names of the supervisors for Pennsylvania to-morrow or Sat unlay. The State has beeu divided int nineteen districts, each one of which will have a supervisor. Senator Penrose refused to divulge the narnesof anyofthi lucky candidates on his "little list," but it is fair to presume that nooe but ultra-Penrose workers will be reeognized, as the Senator has the distribution of all the census supervisors, about two thousand enumerators, or local census takers, and fifty clerkships in the Washington bureau. This is more patronage than any one man has ever had at his disposal iu Penn sylvania, or any other State, for that matter. The Republican members of the House are each allowed six clerks in Washington, ami the Democratic mem bers will have to be satisfied with two minor clerkships. Ii the Steam Locomotive Doomed! Meu who know say that in the next ten years steam locomotives will disap pear and electric motors will supplant them. They also say that with the new motive power trains will rush along at a minimum speed of 100 miles an hour. This will prove a blessing to those who wish to go quickly from one point to another, but no more so than Ilostetter'a Stomach B:tters have proved a blessing to those who wish to go quickly from sick ness to health. The Bitters act at once upon stubborn cases of dypepia, indi gestion, biliousness and liver complaint. They improve the appetite, qniet the nerves, and induce sound, refreshi ng sleep. The trial of a bottle will afford convincing proof. Sold at all drugstores. Imarano Beat tie Tornado. New Ricuxoxn, Minn., June 15. There was but one tornado insurance policy in town when the storm struck.

Witoowia Tewa of ii00 CsmpWUly Det troyed Hundred of lives Lett. A tornado on Monday night a week literally wied out the town of New Rich mond, in northwelcn Wisconsin. Two bund red people (some say four hundred) are dead, and over a thousand hurt. ' New Richmond is on the Wisconsin Onlral linn and on tbe Duluth-Superior branch of the Omaha road. It is thirty six miles east of St. Paul and in the heart of the rich farming section of St. Croix nounty. It Is near Willow river, on which are several large saw and grist mills, and is quite a business centre. It isoneof the oldest towns iu western Wisconsin, and bad many business residences. There were two principal streets crossing each other at right angles, tke more important one running ea&t and west. It was through this street the etorm passed. The thoroughfare was three miles long, lined with trees, and made a fine drive way. Next to New Richmond, the most se vere damage done by tbe storm was at Hudson, Wis., and also at La Crosse, Wis. In tbe vicinity of tbe first-named town a tornado and cloudburst destroyed wires, haystacks, unroofed residences, barns and outbuildings all along its path. At La Crosse it was tbe worst storm known in seventeen years. Nearly five inches of rain fell. The river rose so rap idly that kur hundred people living in the lower section of the city were driven from their homes. Over, one hundred head of livestock were drowned. Nearly every bridge in tbe Idt Crosse Valley is gone. Tbe day had been close and moggy and threatening rain. About 5:30 that Mon day evening heavy dun-uolored clouds gathered on the western horizon, and soon spread over tbe sky, gradually growing denser and darker and presaging a tor nado. Great alarm prevailed before the storm broke, and refuge was sought in cellars, wells, caves, or other underground struc tures that promised safety. Tbe wind, which a moment before was a mere whis per, began blowing with terrible fury. A moment later the storm burst on the vil lage. Trees bent low to the earth, and were divested of leaves, branches, aud even tbe hark. Tbe storm struck the town full in the centre, and in ten min utes awful destruction had been wrought. The largest brick blocks crumbled like egg-shells. The' lighter frame structures were whisked away like so much straw, and houses w ere carried for blocks and dashed to tbe earth. Five bundrel buildings, the finest in the town, were demolished, and when tbe storm had passed about the only struct ures of any note left standing were the Baptist and Catholic churches. Not a res idence was left untouched, and few peo ple escaped without injuries. Lumber yards weut up in tbe clouds, the huge planks being split into shingles. A large irou bridge over the Appel river was blown into fragments and the parts distributed along the banks a half wile away. The village of Herman, Neb., was des troyed by a tornado on the Tuesday even ing following. Nine people were killed and eighteen were seriously injured in tbe wrecks of their homes. The tornado started about two miles west of Herman, and, after traveliug west a short distance, turned back, covering a strip about twen ty -hve tods wide. The town was directly in its path, and only two or three res idences were left standing. The Method ist church and the school building are the only other buildings left. The Methodist church is being used as a hospital and morgue. Kickard P. Bland Dead.. Lkbaxon, Mo-, June li Congressman Richard Parks Bland, the famous silver champion, died at half-past 4 this after noon, not having awakened from tbe sleep he sank into at 10 o'clock Tuesday evening. . Mr. Bland aud Mr. Dingley were close friends, notwithstanding political differ ence, and when tbe Maine man died, Mr. Bland remarked: "I feel all right now myself, but I somehow think I won't survive Dingley a year." Soon after his return home in March he suffered a re lapse from an attack of the grip and has been sick ever since. He was born in Ohio county, Kentucky, on August 1!), island by working on a farm in sum mer for f 1 50 a week saved enough mon ey to atteud school in tbe winter. He was twice a candidate for tbe Democratic nomination for the Presidency being most promiuent at the time of Mr. Bry an's nomination, tie entered congress in I ST 2 and served continuously except the term of 1S92 4. As chairman of the Committee on Mines and Mining, he re ported from that committee the first bill for the free coinage of silver that bad been reported after its demonetization. This bill was filibustered ia the House of Representatives, but on the reassembling of the Forty fourth Congress he again brought up tbe bill, and it passed the House by a two-thirds majority, but was never considered In the Senate. He was popularly known as ".Silver Dick," and wai called "Dick" by everyone who knew him. The Bland-Allison bill re ceived iu name from him, as did the Bland dollar.

After deliberation covering two full days, tbe Democrats of Pennsylvania late Thursday afternoon nominated the fol lowing ticket to be voted for in Novem ber next: For Justice of the Supreme Court, Ste phen L. M est reiit, of Fayette county. For Justice of the Superior Court, Charles J. Reilly, of Lycoming county. For State Treasurer, William T. Creasy, of Columbia county. Though long drawn out and intensely wearing, the Convention was pregnant with importance and full of interesting incidents. Judge Mestrezat was nomi nated on the twenty-eighth ballot, after Berks and Philadelphia counties lent bim their aid. Tbe Superior Court nomination follow ed that for Supreme Justice. Cries for no speeches or extremely short ones came from the heated, weary crowd, most of whom were costless and had their hats ready for hasty departure. Ex Congress man A H. Co rTrot h, of Somerset, was np to name Representative George R. Dixon, of Elk, for the Superior Court, but Mr. Dixon's unw illingness to run was widely knowo, and a score of voices proposed for that honor tbe president of the Con vention, Charles J. Reilly, of Williams port, who had proved himself a popular chairman, and, with gavel still in hand, stood blushing on the platform. Mr. Coffroth, immediately after pre senting Mr. Dixon's name, withdrew it, and Mr. Reilly was nominated by accla mation. He briefly expressed tbanka and was cheered as be announced in order the final nomination for State Treasurer. Representarive Dixon mounted tbe stage and tbe assemblage showed eager nes to hear one of the most distinguish ed Democrat leaders in the Legislature. In nominating "Farmer Creasy" for State Treasurer Mr. Dixon made a lengthy speech. Ex-Congressman Kerr seconded the nomina'ion. There was no other candi date, and Mr. Creasy was made the nom inee ty acclamation. Drink Graii-0 after yon have concluded that yon ought not to drink coffee.

A Preacker Who lakes te See Tolki Sleep la Clare. Rev. Dr. Newton M. Mann, of Omaha, Neb declares that he wauls bis congre gation to go to sleep during church sct vioea. There Is no compulsion about the matter, hut the Doctor prefers tbaf every body fall into a deep sleep and snore, also, if it makes them more comfortable. "I regard it as a compliment to my in tegrity and indisputable evidence of con fidence in the soundness of my theological views to have prominent members of uiy congregation to go to sleep in their seats au 1 thus rest dnring any disoour'-o." I bus says lr. Mann, who is the pro grossive aud popular pastor of the First Ctitarian Church, of Omaha. Last Sun oaf ne createa a sensation ia church cir cle by delivering a sermon upon the ethics of "Sleeping iu Church During the Regular Service." Dr. Manu has the most progressive congregation cf Unitarians in tbe West, and tbe startling doctrioe as advanced by their pastor has bothered number of good old brethren not a little. especially those who sometimes inadvert ently practice the habit so much di- conrsed on by Paul of Biblical days. Considering the words of tbe Doctor's text, many are inclined to doubt the be nevolence of his suggestion. Dr. Mann prefaced his sermon by reading for his text from the Acts xx. it. "And there sat on the window a certain young man named Entychns, and as Paul was dis coursing at great length he sank down with sleep, and fell from the third-story and was taken np dead." For the past week Omaha has talked of little else than the remarkable sermon, Some insist that it was a fine piece of sarcasmjeveled at its critics. Dr. Mann, however, declared that he spoke in entire ly good faith. In concluding his startling sermon, Dr. Mann asserted that, he want ed all members of bis congregation to feel perfectly at liberty to sleep whenever they felt like it in his church. He fur ther announced in all seriousness that he accepted this condition as the best evi dence that his congregation trusts him and has unlimited faith in the soundness of his theology. Clay County, Xy., in a Stare Bordering on 1 Terror. - Louisville, Ky., June 17. There is about as near civil war as is possible in Clay County. A week ago Tom Baker was shot dtiad in tbe courtyard in Man Chester, Just after being grauted a change of venue, and Sheriff Beverly White, of the opposing faction, was arrested for the deed. Last night Christopher II. Jack son was shot frqin ambush in Clay county and severely wounded. He is one of the Baker faction through having married Tom Baker's sister "IJy ," a mountain school mistress. Jackso.i was returning from carrying a message from John Dowliugto his family near L-mdon. Djwling was run out of Clay county by tbe Whites aud Howards. Jackson says two men shot him, one with a shotgun loaded with buckshot. and the other with a o0-ca'.ibre rifle. The bullet from the rifle went through Jack son's left thigh and the buckshot bit him in tbe back and left side. Jackson's brother-in-law. Bee Baker, and his cousins, Robert Baker, Andrew Baker and John Dowling, swore ven geance on the assailants. Jacksou says he knows-one of the men, but refuse to tell who he was. The buckshot made serious wounds. He wanted to go after his assailants, but his wife would not let him. Dowling is considered a dangerous and powerful enemy. He has many fighting relatives in Clay and the adjoining CHinties who will, he says, come to his aid. Last night Dowling and Andy Baker had a long conference with Judge Eversole, who says that nothing short of putting Clay county under martial law will stop the lawlessness. The Bakers own several thousand acres of land in Clay county, but cannot s?lt and are afraid to live on it. Section Hand a Prompt Hero. Cleveland, O., June 18.
