With all bis faults, it must be admitted that Mr. Bryan is not at all niggardly in spending money for traveling expenses. Miss Hklkn Goui.d illustrates bow to be happy aud useful though not married, and oo duchess equals ber iu substan tial rank. Mit. Takt recently attended five lunch eons and four dinners iu a single day. We hardly believe the President himself could exceed that for true strenuosity. The Populist have nominated Mr, Thomas E. Watson again for tbe Presi dency; whether designedly or through force of habit, however, we cannot say with certainty. Thk Republicans of Warren county nominated A. W. Dennison for Assembly after a hot contest in which local option figured largely, he being committed to that proposition. Because they cannot do anything themselves, the Democrats in Congress may think they have a right to prevent the Republicans from doing anything. That's where they are wrong again. In five years Count Boni spent $3,000,' 000 of bis wife's fortune and went f5,00O, 000 In debt. In addition to losing their own money, American beiresscs are making trouble for a large army of trust ful Innocents. "Parson" Brownlow, the great Union man of Tennessee, suffered much for his patriotism, but bis son, who is In Con gress, appears to be getting even. He and bis family bold ten offices and draw almost f!7,000 a year. That is going some. Five members of the United States Senate have died within nine months, i heavy mortality rate In a body of ninety two. ine senate stni contains seven members whose service has exceeded twenty years, Maine having two of this number. Tue Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, says that the Democrats will win, "if they are united." That is true, if they are united to a lot of otber voters. They can't win on their own merits. They can't even unite. The per capita circulation in the United States on April I wasf35.3., which is tbe maximum record ever reached. This figure is based on an estimated popula tioo of 87,140,000. Tbe per capita circula tion at this time last year was $33.91. At the beginning of tbe presont fiscal year it was $33.86. A post-election reflection by good Brer Smith, of the Punxsutawney Spirit, who, we grieve to learn, went down under the weight of adverse ballots at tbe re cent primaries in bis Congressional dis trict: "A political campaign is instruc tive, at least In that It enables you to find out a whole lot of things about tbe weakness, cupidity and general cussed ness of mankind that you didn't want to know." Advices from Washington say that Congressman Nelson P. Wheeler has just been advised by thecomuiissionerofpen sions that he has allowed to Judson H. Soweis, of Mercer, a pension at the rate of $72 per Month. Tbe granting of pen sions at such a large rate is decidedly unusnal. Mr. Sowersseryed In the Spanish-American war and is now totally disabled as a result of tbe service, and has other complications. The pension is dated from March 9 last. Once in about so many months or years, as the case may be, some otherwise unknown writer arrives with bis new Georgo Washington, or his new Some body about whom be thinks he has made some discoveries, Tliese discoveries us ually consist of something discreditable, some (law in tbe character or life, All that is host in the character, which alone is worth preserving, is cast aside as rub bish to tbe void, aud weakness insepara ble from human nature are enlarged upon. Little injury oan be done the illus trious dead. Only the living one who writes the small detraction is thereby.-Bll.-.isrd. . injured Unofficial Returns of the Primaries held Saturday, April lllli, 1908. DISTRICTS.

Fig-1 ures on the Democratic- ticket are not complete at this writing, but the result is likely to be as indicated below. REPUBLICAN TICKKt. Congress Nelson P. Wheeler. President Judge-William E.

Lowman. National Delegates E. L. Monroe, D. F. Sutton. State Delegate C. A. Lanson, Tbe contest for tbe Republican nomina tions, while quite spirited, especially on tbe Assembly and County Commissioner questions, as yet very orderly and with out any brass band accompaniments. On the latter office tbe vote was exceedingly close between Wm. Harrison and Fred Reib, and not until the last precinct was heard from could any one say which of tbe two had been successful. The Pro thonotary contest also developed a close bitch between J. C. Gelst and Harry Harp, the former winning by eighteen votes, according to tbe face of the returns. The Republican turnout was very good and showed that Interest in political af fairs is by no means on tbe wane Iu tbe party. Under tbe new primary law tbe qualifications of voters are the same as at the general election and voters are no longer permitted to cast . their ballots wherever they happen to be on election day, making it easy to swell the vote at primary contests because of the loose methods heretofore prevailing. We publish a table this week embracing each office on which there was a contest. This table is not official, but it is not likely that tbe official figures, which will not be canvassed until today, will change the result any. The totals for all oandi dates are not obtainable at present, but will be given later. Tbe ticket nominated is a good one and will commend itself to the voters at the November election.. Every one of the successful candidates is a stanch Republi can, and having received a clear plurality of tbe Republican voters of tbe county, is entitled to tbe united and loyal support of the party. Let us drop whatever feel ing of disappointment that may have come out ol tbe little family contest aud go about to elect all our candidates by old fashioned majorities. Senator Allison says In an interview that the Senate has not deteriorated In bis time. He believes that "Tbe develop ment of the country is continuous. We are advancing in education, in methods, and In processes. We are an active people and in my opinion will continue so. We lie in a favored geographical sit uation. Our land is rich in all that makes for prosperity." The Nestor of the Sen ate, who is credited with extreme caution In making up his opinions Is a strong op timist on the subject of the American people. Tue editor of tbe Philadelphia Inquirer thinks that tbe postal card, and especially tbe picture postal card, on which may be written hastily a few words of remem brance, baa simply ruined tbe art of let ter writing. But tbe Franklin News editor thinks "they may not write those dear, delightful letters to the Inquirer auy mora, but there are young men we know of who could testify that the art of letter-writing has not yet been quite spoiled, no, not by several degrees, and that the souvenir postals are so much to the good, sandwiched in as tbey are be tween tbe morning and the evening daily communications," and there's hardly any doubt, boys, but that both of you are a little bit right in this matter.

In Venango, for instance, tbe Assembly fight stands as follows between tbo four leading Re publican candidates: Corrin, 1,960; Fos ter, 1,976; Milliron, 2,001; Whitman, 1,96!). These figures are not official and a few changes may work an entirely different result than is shown here. There are two candidates to nominate. The sure win ners in Venango are Gordon Johnson for recorder, E. A. Wilson for treasurer, Judd Thompson for prothonotary. H. H. Baumgardner and J. W. Phillips for county commissioner. Accidental Death or Homer Burdick. Homer Dwlgbt Burdick was born May 29th, 1884, and for tbe past few yoars was a resident of Porkey, Howe twp., living with bis father, Robert W. Burdick, gen erally working for his father on saw mills, bnt in April, 1907, went to Illinois and procured a pumping job at Robinson, with the Red Bank Oil Co. In Jauuary of the present year be made bis parents visit for a few days, but was compelled to make his visit Bbott on account of only having a short vacation. On March 30th he steamed some oil to be run out by the pipe line gauger, and on the 31st was get ting up stuam to pump the oil out with a field pump, when the boiler exploded badly mutilating his body and killing him almost instantly. His brotber-in-law, G. W. Barney, wired his parents of tbe sad accident, and after a funeral serv ice at the Frst M. E. Church at Robinson, the remains were started for this place, and were met at Sheffield by his relatives and friends where the remains were in terred. Homer was a general favorite wherever known, and was always ready to join in any social function. About three years ago he began the work of the Savior and was "faithful unto death." This fact was proven by the most beauti ful tribute of sympathy and love sent to tbe parents by tbe Robinson Sunday School class of which he was a member. We shall miss him but he la safe, and we have the consolation of knowing that if we prove faithful we shall again be united in Paradise. ine norai oneriogs at the funeral were many and very pretty. The funeral ser mon was preached by Rev. R. J. Mont gomery of Kellettville, in the Miuister church, where young Mr. Burdick was member. Thus a young man is cut down in tbe prime of life, when we look for old er ones to go first. Life is so uncertain that it pays to be ready, like Homer was, to meet our God. May we all meet him in heaven "on that Great Day." R, Truemans, Pa., April 1:1, 1908. Neighborhood Motes. The insurance adjusters working on tbe Lafayette hotel at Meadvllle have de cided to rebuild tbe edifice and to replace everything bnrned. Thos. Goodwin, a well known citizen of the oil regions hereabout in its early stages, died on tbe 6th Inst., at Dallas, Texas, at the age of eighty years.

Still, of Warren, were using grappling irons in the search for the body of J. H. Jennings in tbe Allegheny River, their boat upset and they had a narrow escape from drowning. The people of Johnsonburg, Elk county are going after the "fire bug" who has on numerous occasions during the past few weeks tried to burn the town. A reward or (MX) Is olfered for tbe apprehension of the ghoul, who seems determined to car ry out his nelarious work. ry I. nr i . i . , , .... iuo iiarreu uigu BCUOOl OUllUlng Has a novel and very effective fire escape.
