The Electric Vacuum Cleaner
Has Proved Its Efficiency
THE difficulty in securing- a competent maid
is best overcome by adopting the most effi
cient means to cope with the problem. An l
Electric \ acuum Cleaner not only enables you to
j secure-servants of greater capability, but it means ji;
more and better work is done. It lessens the ex
ertion, too. and leaves your domestic strong and 1
unworried to accomplish other household tasks.
An Electric \ acuum Cleaner gets beneath the
surface —penetrates every nook and corner—finds
the dust particles anywhere and cleans thorough
ly, quickly and perfectly.

PENROSE GREETED
IIP WEST BRUNCH
Senator Finds Plenty of People to
Welcome Him and to Give As
surance of Support
VISITED THREE COUNTIES
Democratic Conditions Said to Be
Very Favorable For Republi
can's Victory
Senator Boies Penrose received
abundant assurances of support on
his tour up the west branch yester
day and Northumberland, Lycoming
and Clinton counties gave him hearty
greeting. Last night he addressed it
big meeting in Lock Haven.
A dispatch fror~ Lock Haven says:
"The Senator expressed himself .is
highly gratified over the warmth of
his greeting in this section of the
State. Two years ago there was a
mighty Bull Moose sentiment hero,
but Senator Penrose sab* he had been
convinced from what he had learn ;.l
i to-day that there had set in a steady
drift back to the Republican party.
He made it plain that he expects to
receive a big vote in each of the thre>->
counties he had visited, including the
support of a large following that went
j over to Colonel Roosevelt in 1912.
I "Party workers with whom Mr.
Penrose conferred assured him that
he would carry Clinton county. Ke
was told that in addition to the reg
ular Republican vote he would be
given substantial support from the la
boring element irrespective of polities,
and many Democrats who are dissat
isfied with industrial and business con
ditions. for which the Democratic
tariff 'aw is blamed. Senator Penrose
was informed that the employes of the
plants in this section were eagerly
awaiting an opportunity to vote for
the return of the Republican party
to control of public affairs.
"An Indication of political sentiment
is disclosed by the fact that the Pen
rose nomination petitions contain the
names of hundreds of laboring men.
"Traces of the Ryan-McCormick
Democratic feud clearly are apparent
throughout this section. Among Ser
ator Penrose's callers to-day were
many Democrats, who will vote for
him because of their opposition to the
candidacies of McCormick and A.
Mitchell Palmer. Since the recent
visit to Lock Haven of McCormick,
the supporters of Michael J. Rysn
have been very active. They confi
dently predict that Ryan will carry
Clinton county. And only slight inter
est is shown in the candidacy of Gilf
ord Pinchot. The Republicans are en
thusiastic over Martin G. Brumbaugh
and he will be supported by a large
element of the Bull Moose part *.
"Senator Penrose made three stops
before reaching Lock Haven, includ
ing Sunbury, Milton and Williams
port"

CAPTAIN AND MRS . OSCAR JOHNSON
New York. March 26.—Women of New York are talking of applying
to the Carnegie Hero Commission for a medal for Mrs. Oscar Johnson,
whose heroism inspired the crew of her husband's schooner, the Laura M.
Lunt, to superhuman efforts during the nineteen days that the ships was
tossing about in a leaky condition after having been blown 300 milfes oft her
course, which lay between Norfolk and Jacksonville. Captain and Mrs.
Johnson and their 4-year-old daughter, Helmar, with the crew of three, were,
rescued 200 miles north of Cuba by the British steamer Windmere, as the
ship was rapidly tilling with water. In describing the heroism of his wife,
the captain said: "Mrs. Johnson baled water out of the cabin with a leaky
pail for live days and nights without help. She would not permit the men
to leave the pumps, because she knew that her love for our baby would
sustain her in the fight to save the little one from drowning. All the time
the water was swashing about the floor of the cabin. lur child was tucked
safely in my berth."

Gossip About Division
Changes Is. Denied
The old story about a change of
divisions on the Pennsylvania railroad
system has been revived. In railroad
circles to-day it was the general gos
sip that with the Introduction of the
summer schedules the changes would
be announced. The reports were de
nied to-day at official headquarters in
Altoona and in Harrisburg.
One story was to the effect that
passenger engines would be run from
New York to Harrisburg; Philadelphia
to Lewistown; Baltimore to Sunbury;
and Lewistown to Pittsburgh. This
it is said would cut down considerable
expense as fewer engines and crews
would be needed.

motive Firemen and Englnenien to
day said fhat the Telegraph was in
error when it announced in its issue

Hawley, financial secretary and treas
urer of tills brotherhood dliring a re
cent visit to Peoria, 111., where the
national headquarters of the lodge are
located. Mr. Hertzler did visit Peoria,
it is said, but was not in communica
tion with Mr. Hawley.

) dent E. I'". Weaver will conduct the

county poor board to show cause why
the seventeen insane patients at the
almshouse should not be transferred
to the State insane asylum in accord
ance with the recent suggestion of the
State Board of Charities and Correc
tions.

have the patients taken out of the
poorhouse and placed in the Insane
asylum and the action of the court
was welcomed. The transfer will be
made as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be completed.
24,000 People Have Visited
