Lsi riug lb prernt year live rueiuhrrs of the Huu, fleeted la-t November, have died. The fv.uU is a draw; two of the numU-r having been Republicans, two Democrats and one a Populist. Aktkk long and careful considera tion, and after sc .-ruining the views of Major tieueral Oiis, the President baa decided to enlist a provisional army for service in the Philippines. The men will be enlisted as regulars for two years' service, and it is thought nine new regiments will be sufficient. The War Department intends to keep 40,000 men in the Philippines until peace is restored. "A iRnvMXJ man will catch at a fctraw," is a trite old saying. And here we have the "fake" organ, whose own er was so mercilessly flayed by the voters at the receut primary, and his legislative course so roundly condemn ed, flapping its wings and crowing over the nomination of its father-in law to an obsolete oflioe, and for which he had no opposition, but received the unani mous vote of the tarty. Somf. one should apply i-e, and lots of it, to Col. "Krtwy" Achesou's head. It is already swollen to such a size that if it is not ouickly reduced, the malady w ill prove fatal. Such an assertion of boss power as he makes iu bis Inter view in Friday's Pittsburg Dispatch has seldom been seen. When Colonel "Jim" Barnett gels home from the Philippines if he does not have some thing to say in reply to the bumptious Congressman's interview that he will not rclh-h, we miss our guess. Oi ks is not the only country in w hich the preat department store is re tard.-. I by il" i-innlb-r business rivals a a grievance. A report receully made by Consul t.Ymral Mason, at It rim, thows that there is much agitation on the subject in Germany and France, and that in both countries legislative measures have been undertaken for the repreion of such establishments, though with little effect thus far. One department store is referred to which has driven from buaiuess nearly a thousand Ftnall dealers, and now does a business of more than .10,000,000 a year. Fun the past several 3-ears it ha9 bet n the custom of a number of a pi ring "bosses" who had previously not at tended Republican Conventions for twelve or fifteen years, to attend, try to override the party rules, create all the disturbance possible, aud then through their newspaper organs, try to place the odium of their conduct on ot her shoulders. Fortu nately , t h is year there was an immense crowd from all sections of the county present at the convention, who were able tJ see and judge for themselves as to which side lived squarely up to the party rules and conducted themselves in a seeiuly and becoming manner and whk-h side did not. It always pays to play fair. The Republican SUte Convention will meet on the 24ih of August this year, nine-tenths of the members of the Stale Committee having notified Chairman F.lkin that that date will suit them. The latest announcement concerning the composition of the SUte ticket is to the effect that Mr. Quay and his lieutenants have compromised on J. Hay Brown, of Lancaster, for Jus tice of the Supreme Court; Josiah R. Adams, of Philadelphia, for Judge of the Superior Court, and LieutenautCol- ouel James E. Barnett, of Washington county, for SUte Treasurer. This ru iu r is subject to revision, but at pres ent it appears to be close to the truth The experience of our army in the West Indies has not been lost on our troops in the Philippines. The result is seen in a far smaller mortality from disease among the latter than iu the former. In the Cuban campaign less than X0 wtre killed and died of wounds, while the deaths from disease numbered about 2,000. In the Philip pine campaigns, from the first landing of our troops at Cavite, June 30, ls!, up to the latest report from General Otis, June 6, 1899, the number killed was '., and 9 died cf wounds. Du ring this period the deaths from all causes except wounds were but "i"4, and this number includes several who were drowned and killed by accident. Our force in the Phllippiues has been more than double that in Cuba. The sick lies there ha been the smallest on ree ard among armies of white men oper ating in tropical countries. STt'ims have been priuted in a num tier of newspapers that extravagant im provements are contemplated at the Executive Mansion in this city, says the Harriaburg Telegraph. T. L. Eyre, Superintendent of Public Grounds and Buildings, baa given out the following statement: At a meeting of the Board of Public ; rounds and Building, held yesterday, the question of furnishing the mansion was considered. The items, the elevator, decorating halls and stairways, raising the roof over the ottice and providing ad ditional sleeping rooms, oil paintings and marble statues, were ail disallowed. None .f the expenses will le incurred. The Board has bad do intention t any time to make these expenditures. The Governor opposed the outlay. These items were in the ncbeduleoi psitle things required during the coming year, like many other items that get into tbeachedule under the law requiring every purchase to t from the lowest public bidder, but the items scheduled aud awarded to the bidders can not be purchased except on requisition subsequently approved by the Hoard. The articles appearing in the paper charging Governor Stone w ith needles and extravagant repairs to the Mansion are atwolutely false and without any jus tification. The following paragraph, Uken from a special Somerset dispatch published in the Philadelphia North American, owned by John Wanamaker' son, last Thursday morning, is interesting inas much as it shows that Representatives Koontz and Kendall are making a des perate attempt to square themselves be fore the eyes of the Bargain-Counter Statesman: The effort on the part of the machine to luake it appear that the vote at Saturday's primaries was a censor for the legislators from this county isabsolutely unfair. The contest centered on the candidates for Sheriff, and the approval or disapproval of the action of Somerset's Representa tives io the last Legislature did not enter into the contest. If "the course parsaed by Somerset's RepresenUtives did not enter into, the contest," why, we would like to know, did RepresenUtive Koontz address a fcchoolhouse mtfticg at Jenner, ap- --"J r pealiug lo the voters to sustain, hi party mason because he "could not vote for a candidate under Indictment in the criminal court??" Why did he produce a certified copy of the House journal showing that he baa voiea against the bill increasing the mini mum school term? by dnl be up braid Governor Stone for cutting down the achool appropriation? And why did he Uke his ubiquitous friend "Dan ny" with him to " 'learu' the people how to vote intelligently?" If "the action of Somerset's Repre sentative's iu the lat Legislature uja not enter into the contest" why did Representative Koontz and "Danny" vh.it Wiodber, (Vie, and other voting preciacta, and why did his friends lit ter the county frooi one end to the other with lying attacks oa honest Li Hoover, who was a candidate for dele- And H lue action 01 ouier.-n s ivejj renenUtives in the last Legislature did not euter Into the contest" why did .- ...t RepresenUtive Koontz's "fake" organ publish column upon column of false hood and slander concerning Republi can leaders and call upon the voters of the county to uphold the hands of Messrs. Koontz and Kendal! by giving them a vote of confidence? Br'er Wanamaker may be deceived by the "absolutely unfair" special dis patch published in his son's paper, but the Republican voters of Somerset county, who believe in party organiza tion and the right of majority rule, know better, and so do RepresenUtives Koontz and Kendall,, who were repu diated so conspicuously by the voters of Somerset borough and township, by the voters of Meyersdale and Summit, and by the voters of the county. Vktoks can afford to be generous to the vanquished, and the wild and senseless vanorinirs of a numler of that semi-secret society, the so-called McKiulcy Iieague," should disturb the serenity of no oje. Their rebuke by the Republican voters was so dras tic, their dtfeat so crushing, that their appearance and mutterings cats, for the present, be overlooked. The Herald was fully satisfied with the result, aud was disposed, after publishing the re turns, to let matters peacefully rest and all iw all freshly-made sores to heal. But we would not be true to our selves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our party, to our duty as editors of a public journal, did we not challenge and repel some of the vile and untruth ful sUtciuf-nts made in last week's "fake" organ affecting the honor and iuUgrity of the Republican voters of this community and the county at large. The assertion that a large amount of money was sent into this county by the State organization prior to the primary and that "districts that were known to be anti-Scull were changed in the twiukling of an eye, special drives be ing made at Somerset and Meyersdale," is a gratuitous insult to every honest Republican voter in the county, and shows to what depths men who have been lashed aud repudiated by their party will descend in a vain effort to deceive the unthinking, and extricate themselves from their pitiable plight. Not one dollar of money was sent into this county by the State organization, by any man or set of men to assist the Stalwart Republicans in doing what they were ouly too glad to have the op portunity of doing placing the brand of party treason on brazen brows and rebuking and chastising the arrogance of blataut and self-constituted "bosses." The mean estimate thus placet! upon the honor and integrity of the Repub lican voters of Somerset and Meyers dale will not soon be forgotten. The statement that Chairman Berk ley took advantage of his position and acted unfairly in the distribution of tickets is equally false and dishonest and we challenge his detractors to the proof. The tickets and blanks were all put up at oue time, in sealed packages, and in every iusUnee were sent out so as to reach the Committeemen to whom they were delivered not later than Fri day afternoon. No Committeeman en tered complaint that the tickets and blanks bad not reached him in ample time and in good order. No Commit teeman had a right to have the tickets for his precinct or to distribute them before the morning of the primary. If Chairman Berkey discharges the duties of the position with the same absolute honesty, fairness and integrity as did Chairman Berkley, there will be no cause for complaint. We have tales of larg amounts of money having been sent into this county by the friends of the local in surgents, and ( f how it was used, but of this we w ill not speak at present. It pays to be honest and fair after a primary as well as prior to it, and the newspaper, man or men who unjustly and untruthfully assail the character of their neighbors meet with the merited contempt of all well-thinking people. Political JhUi Defeated at every turn the "compare notes" "bosses," who insolently asked the voters to support a ticket slated by them in secret, are now yelling "boodle! boodle!! boodle!!!" It is actually v had, iu view of the repudiation of Assemblymen Koontz and Kendall by their immediate neighbors, that the vUt of Winber and Ole should have gone in the .same direction. Doctor Liveuguod and CapUio Schrock had no opposition for nomination for Coroner and Surveyor respectively, and yet the "compare notea" "bowes" claim them as their very own. Go 'long. The "fr ke" organ y : "O." lbs above named candidates Messrs. Dumbauld. Moser, Livengood and Schrock were pronounced anti-Scull." We believe that all of the gentlemen named are Repub licans and until we have better evidence than the unsupported word of the osten sible editor of the "fake" organ we will refuse to believe anything to the contrary. "The anti-Scull voters in the county have been in the majority forseversl years, and they are in the majority to day," bellows the personal organ of Representative Koonta. Two weeks ag) the same mouthpiece asserted: "Frank B. Black is the auti Scull candidate." "You pays your money and Ukea your choice." "Dan" Keller, the stalwart candidate for Committeeman in Somerset borough, had a majority of 71 votes over insurgent candidate Ed Barron, a brother of Pro thonotary H. F. Barron, and from 15 to 25 stalwarts voted lor "Jim" Winters, the stalwart candidate for Committeeman in Somerset toweship, evidently thinking that "Jim's" majority of over jrt was too small for such a popular fellow. "Early last week the Riugknew it was whipped that popular sentiment was against IL At Somerset it roust be admitted that the popularity of two or more home candidates on the Soull ticket made the storming work like a charm. Tae highest vote ever polled in the borough and township was increased more than 100 votes and the Scull ticket came out of the whirl with big majori ties." Fake" Organ.

July 1 Secretary Alger said to dty : "I have no political alliance with Governor Pin jres -that K no mors of au ailianes than I have with other Republicans of Michigan, who have aiwured me of their support in uiy candidacy for the Uuited Slates Senate." j Having thus disclaimed any enlangliug association with Governor Pingree of a nature embarrassing to the Administra tion, Secretary Alger has cleared op a situation that might have caused his re tirement from the Cabinet. It has been an accepted fact that Sec retary Alcer htd but two course he must denounce Govuruor filigree or re tire from the Cabinet. Mr. Alger bas elected to remain with the Administration, as indicated in the ddclaiaiioa that he bas no intention of resigning, and his last announcement that be has no political alliance with the Michigan Governor. His repudiation of alliance is calculat ed to relieve the strained situation be tween himself and bis colleagues in the Administration, as well as between him self and the President. In the face of Secretary Alger's spe cific denial of the alleged alliance with Governor Pingree it is not thought that the President, either in person oi through any of his immediate advisers, will be disposed to intimate to Alger that his presence in the Cabinet is no longer de sired. The complications were wholly of a political nature. There was no per sonal feeling. Secretary Alger explained to-day that when he war in Michigan Governor Pingree called at his bouse voluntarily aud otfered to support him for election to the Senate. Even those who hare been most per. sisteut in asserting that Secretary Alger must get out of the Cabinet admit that his repudiation of the Pingree alliance puts an entirely different aspect upon the milter. It may be predicted that unless new aud unexpected contingencies arise Alger will remain iu the Cabinet. Teddy, 1904. Milwii kee, June 29. "He won with our boys In blue, and be will be our president, too." Thus ran one of the tianner inscriptions displayed in Mil waukee's flower parade, of which Gov, Theodore Roosevelt was the center of at traction. But this apparently did not in terest the governor half as much as did that other, displayed everywhere and on every lip : "our Teddy." Photographers by the score leveled cameras at the governor, and he shouted to them : "The Spaniards did not do anything as bad as that." Little girls aud young women ran out to the carriage aud threw clusters of roses aud bunches of swet?t peas until it was a bowfarof tlowers. In the huls of huudreds of men were litllo white cards on which was printed: "Teddy, I'.nH." Time and time again the shout went tp from street cor ners and crowded office windows: "Roosevelt for president." The governor was on his feet nearly all the time he was in his carriage. He was kept constantly bowing. Once when he had a breathing spell he said: "This is the jolliest fun I ever had." The cheering at every part of the line was tremendous, and of this the governor said: "They don't know me as they do in New York, hence I ain popular." There were many receptions for him and euterUiuments during the day. In a speech at the Chamber of Commerce he lauded the west, and urged everybody to stand by the President "us he upholds the honor and glory and greatness of the flag." Hollmger 5vr Wavarsd. II ARKisBi Bo.Juue 29 Joseph Hulling er was hanged in the jail yard here this morning for the murder of his wife last August in a tit of jealous rage. Holling- er confessed hia crime at the time it was committed and went to the scaffold with out apparent fear. After death, which was from a broken neck, the body was cut down and given over to relatives. Hollinger was sn ignorant farm band, forty-five years old, and was separated from his w ife several months before the murder. Last August he visited ber at a neighbor's farm, and they had a quarrel over her refusal to return borne with him. Hollinger knocked her down and then cut her throat with a pocket knife. He admitted the crime at his trisl and put in a plea of insanity. The jury soon found him guilty, and the Board of Pardons and the Supreme Court were appealed to in vain to save his life. One of his sons is sn inmate of the Harrisburg insane asy lum, and his aged father lives at the county home. Albert Smith, colored, will be hanged in the jail next Tuesday a week for wife murder. The excitement about the place to-day unnerved him, and he was badly scared. The authorities are afraid he will break down before the time of his ex ecu tion. A close watch is being kept on him to prevent suicide. B. sad 0. Starts Anew. Baltimore, June 2!.

So much has been said about the coun try well that it only needs a word in this purview. The country people love their dd wells." Thoy always tell yoj : j "Why noliody ever got sick frviu our wellT' I came across Just soch s well w itbiu the last few mouths. Thren gen erations back this old well furnished wa ter for the same family, and no odd, iu fact, ever became sick from it. At last the old folksdied snd the second genera tion started on their way with a large fauiily of sons aud daughters. Still no one became sick. The third generation became mou and women, and still rosiHcd at the old homestead. Then at last, alter so many years, the old well began its deadly work. One after another of the family was strk-ken with typhoid fever, uutil four were ill at one time, aud that homestead will never be tbe same it was ouce. for there are two vacant places, aud this old well, which before had "uever made any one sick," yielded on chemical examination 17.0 parts of chlorine per 100,000 not far removed from diluted sewage. The allurements of the old homestead seem veiy enticing on the stage or on canvas, bat under tbe exacting eye of the sanitarian, with his increased angle of vision, "things are not always what they seem." The vine clad porch, with its wistaria and fragrant honeysuckle, where "moth er used to sit," resolves itself into a damp musty, sunless nursery of "the chronic rheumatism which made mother's life a burden." The old well, with its "pure sweet water." bas become a vast test tubs of colon bacillus at leust, if noi e other, and the delightfully pure air redo lent with the perfume of flowers has be come surcharged with moisture reeking with the gasea of decomposition, from a befouled soil and a cellar soil and air saturated with the mouldy debris of de cayed vegetables. Such is not rarely tbe true story of the old homestead. Traded His Wifs. N ew Casti.e, Pa , June 29. Some time ago a stroug iutimacy grew up between Mrs. Joseph Sheelerand a German board er in her house, named Frank Gronzki. One day Mr. Sheeler, according to his testimony before Justice Voho at Chew town yesterday, gave the German a beat ing and then made a deal with the latter, giving him his wife aud children in re turn for a bicycle and accordion. With the latter tbe injured husband departed for Ohio. When the German and Mrs, Sheeler were put upon their oaths they admitted that the story was correct, and it w as shown that, iu addition to Sheeler turning over his wife and children to Gronzki, he had also included the bouse hold goods and other auii-les. Mrs. Sheeler testified that the young Germsn was not a good baud about tbs bouse, and be, realizing that he had more than be bargained for, made Information and had Sheeler brought back from Ohio. He said be could easily et rid of the fam ily by deserting tbem, but be did not want to lose his bicycle and accordion. and he told the officers that he thought bringing tbe action against Sheeler was the easiest way out of tbe trouble. After all tbe evidence was in the parties met in the rear office and the case was set tled. Sheeler agreed to give back the ar ticles he had received from Gronzki, and the latter turned over the former's wife, children aud furniture. Seed Hot bs Stamped. Hotelkeepers and wholesale liquor dealers have been considerably ex erased for some time past over a decision made by Internal-Revenne Collector McClaiu, of the First District of Pennsylvania, in cluding Philadelphia and Chester Couu ties, about a mouth ago, that tavern and liquor licenses were subject to an inter nal revenue stamp. Collector Hershey, of Harisburg, had previously decided that such license did nut need to be stamped To settle the conflicting decisions. Col lector Hershey wrote to the Treasury Department on June 20th, asking for a decision on the point. Wednesday morn ing be received tbe following letter from the oflioe of the Internal Revenue Com missioner: "The office is in receipt of your letter of June 20, 1S, submitting forms of tavern licenses and liquor licenses issued by the Court of (Quarter Sessions and asking to be informed whether same are taxable. "ou are ad vised that the tavern 11- licensesand the liquor licenses submit ted by you are not subject to taxation." This decides the question aulborita tively and will set at rest the anxiety of hotel men and wholesale dealers. Octogenarians' Esrveit.

It was bis idea to have old-time harvesters garner the grain, so that as little of it as possible would be lost. He accordingly invited seven men whom be knew had been ex pert harvesters in their younger years, to cut his golden grain in "the good old way." Those who assisted were: 8am uel Huffman, eighty-six years old ; James Devilbliss, eighty-six; John -Murray Yiugling, eighty-four; Henry Hawk, eighty-three: Alexander Cornell, eighty three; Job Hibbard, eighty-one, aud Abdon Carlisle, eighty.

I lost my appetite and began to lose flesh ; my blood was impoverished and I had to ieave our store. The doctors gave me a little tonic, but I steadily grew worse aud consulted another doctor. He helped me in some ways, hut my headaches continued, and I began to have night sweats and my rest was so disturbed that I would have hysteria and would cry and worry over business matters and my poor health.

This was a year ago; no one can ever know what a winter of misery I spent Would bloat after eating and was troubled with palpita tion of heart and whites.
