SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN
MIFFLINTOWN.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 7. 1891.

Both the Rnnll
cratic conference of the 31st judicial
district, composed of the county of
J uniata and Perry met in Newport
last week to nominate a President
judge, and both failed to perform
the work that
by the primary election, and tho re-
. . L - . -l-i .
Bixn, i, iwo candidates in each party
are running for office. W. A. Hpon-
uier, x-sq., republican W. N. Sieb
ert, Esq., democrat are the Perry
county candidates, and Jeremiah
Lyons, Esq., republican, A. J.
Patterson, Esq., democrat are the
candidates in Juniata county.
The republican conference met in
the parlor of the Central Hotel, and
directly across the street in the par
lor of the Miller house sat the demo
cratic conference.
Two days wore spent in trying to
reach a nomination. A large dele
gation of J uniata republicans attend
ed the republican conference and
emphasized the fact that by all the
rules of political equity. Juniata
county is entitled to the nomination,
and the republican sentiment in Jun
iata will not permit the withdrawal
of Mr. Lyons ss a candidate because
of the right of the county to the
nomination. Mr. Sponsler did not
dispute the just claim of Juni
ata, but ha elaimed that ho had in
two former nominations, ten and
twenty years ago, stepped out of the
way for the nomination of Judge
Juukin aud that now if he steps
out of the. r.ay for Mr. Lyons
his chance for the judgeship is for
mer gone. Nothing that was said
moved Mr. Sponger to yield iu favor
of the claim of Juniata, and after
two days sessions one f his confer
ees Mr. Scholl moved an adjourn
ment. The motion was unanimous
ly adopted.
Meanwhile the democratic confer
ence with sharp ears an 1 keen eyes,
was watching from across the street
the movements of the republicans,
and when an adjournment was
reached, the democrats speedily fol
lowed suit, and everybody belonging
to the respective conferences waiknd
away to help strip and groom the four
respectivo candidates for the judicial
raee.
It is a source of regret that the
conferences closed their work in that
way, thus completely ignoring the
manner laid down by party rules for
the nomination of judicial, senatorial,
and congressional candidates.
Perhaps it is all for the better for
it is a confession that conferences
and nominating conventions are of
no account, to settle nominations,
when a number of ardent candidates
are seeking nomination. It is a con
fossion that the only way to settle a
nomination is to submit it to a vote
of the people and from preseut signs
it will not be many years till all
nominations are made by a direct vote.
If Messrs. Lyons and Messra. Pat
terson and Seibart had been voted
for directly by the people at the pri
mary election the question would
have been settled to the satisfaction
of everyone excepting perhaps the
defeated candidates and defeat or
victory then could not sting more ee
verely than in the days to come.
The failure of the conferences to
nominate candidates is creating a
general sentiment in favor of nomi
nating, senators, congressmen and
judges by a popular vote. In that
way the people would settle the
question -of nominating candidates,
and the occupation of conferences to
higgle for days and adjourn to hig
gle and thresh over the old political
straw again and again would be a
lost occupation.
As the case stands the people have
a picking choice for President Judge.
The republicans have Mr. Lyons
with his righteous claim, and "Mr.
Sponsler with his claim of large ser
vice to select from, and the demo
crats have Mr. Patterson and Mr.
Seibert to eelect from. Vote for
Lyons. Thue far Mr. Lyons has
lived the life of a first rate citizen,
and as he is just in the very prime
of middle life he gives promise of an
upright career that will add strength
and dignity to the bar in Central
Pennsylvania. Of the four candi
dates in the field none had less to do
with the circumstances that occasion
ed tho "four cornered" campaign
and no candidate for the office of
President Judge at this time has
such bright j rospoet as he has.
There is a plan on foot to get
Bardslry to tell all he knows about
his corrupt methods and the people
with whom he swam in the pool of
corruption. The plan is to offer him
a less nnmber of years inprisonment
than those given to him by the court.
He mado a statement, if he makes a
different one which can be believed,
and which one will be the true one.
W. H. Dill, of Clearfield town is in
jail for wrecking two banks ne in
Clearfield the other in Houtzdale.
The right thing to do is to go straight
for right's sake, but if a man can't
be honest for honesty's Fake he
might got down to a lower stand
point and be straight because it
does'nt pay to be dishonest. One
year ago Dill entertained President
Harrison on other people's money.
Now he is in jail.
A Terrible Confession.
Shamokjlv, Pa., September 29.
John Crock was stricken with ty
phoid fever a month ago and diald
last night Jnst before his death
he made a confession in which he
said that seven years ago, while work
ing at Sunbury, he and a man named
Charles Ward murdered Oscar Olack,
who worked on a railroad with them
and robbed him of his savings. The
body wasburried under a tool house.
When asked next day about Oscar,
he said he left for his home in Po
land. Richard, a brother of Oscar,
suspecting foul play, instituted euch
a searching investigation thai fear,
of being discovered, the assassins
lured him into the country and killed
him. The body was Lurried in a
swamp, and the murderers reported
the next day that Richard bad gone
to join his brother in Poland. Soon
after this the pair came to Shamokin
and worked in the mines. A peddler
stopped at their home one night for
shelter, and in an unguarded mo
ment mentioned that be had $50
He was shot dead and robbed, and
the body thrown an air hole.
Superstition.
Henderson, Ky.f Sept 29. It is a
well known fact that gamblers are
ameng the most superstitious of men.
Charles Clay had been playing in hard
lack for some days. A few nights
ago he conceived the idea that if he
were to open the grave of Mrs. Hen
derson, who was recently buried,
and take from her finger a gold ring
which was buried with her, it would
change his luck. He dug, up the
body, and secured the ring, and was
caught wearing it. He was arrested
and confessed.
What A Pygmy Did.
HOW A 8PBIO OF HUMANITY SAVED A PARTY
OF EXPLORERS.
Daring the very hungriest time
spent by Stanley's expedition in
going through the dense forest, it
happened that the discovery of a lit
tle child of the dwarf tribe proved
truly providential. Upon approach
ing one of the settlements of these
people, the natives, fearing that the
Arabs were upon them, hastily re
treated to the depths of tho jungle,
leaving in the village one of the
young children.
He was au uDgainly little creature,
and from Suleh's description had an
enormously big head, protruding
lower jaw, lean frame and ungainly
fat body. The Zacziliaris stood
about in dejeted groups, complaining
of their present hard existanee, and
the sad contrast of to-day with the
joyous life in their island home away
in the Indian Ocean.
The littlo Teki-Tt-ki (pigmy), al
though not more than 6 yoars old,
was busily searching for something
in the dry leaves- The Zanzibaris
were attracted by tho child's activity.
Presently the sparkle of bis eyes and
the increasud earnestness of his hunt
showed that he had b&en successful;
and, indeed, he returned to the
camp-fire carrving a lot of pods liko
enormous benns. Thuse he scraped
to a fine powder, which he dampen
ed, rolled in soma big leavea, and
then toasted Lu the a.hes.
When cooked to Lis satisfaction he
opened the dainty packige, and the
whole camp became filled with the
pleasant odor of the new dish. The
mm of the expedition then closed
around, and, much to the young
Tuki Teki's disgust, helped themselves
to a tasting pinch. The Zanzibaris
knew the tree quite well; it was the
"nmkneme."
The new discovery brought a
gleam of hopa to the hearts of these
hungry beings. The capture of the
tiny woodsman was a godsend, and
Saleh saia that had this unhappy lit
tie creature but faintly understood
their language he would have been
overwhelmed with the heartfelt
blessings showered on him. A few
days afterward another tribe of these
same small people was met, and the
child was handed over to them to be
returned to his parents. St. Nich
olas. Molly aud tbe Dorking Stool-
From tho National Revieir.
There is a tradition of a Gloucbes
torshire scold, whose obstinate dis
position defied the ducking stool.
After the first "sousing" in the
village horse pond, her husband ex
claimed, "Molly ! Molly! Woot thee
promise to never scold at I again?"
As soon as Molly recovered her
breath, she replied in a thundering
voice of moroseness, "No, I won't
doo nothing o' th' zortl"
1olly had another eouce, and the
husband mot with the same acrim
onious response to his anxious inter
rogations. The sousing was repeat
ed; bat Molly continuod to be ob
durate and contumacious.
"You may drown I," shouted
Molly; "but I wool never give in."
They did not run the risk of
drowning Molly, bnt released her,
for tbe husband was conviced that
she would "rather drown than refuse
to wag her red rag at un" whenever
she felt inclined to do so ! It did not
cure Molly. She became as great a
scold as ever she had been before
her public "sousing." Borne years
after tbe critical punishment, the
lord of Manor met John at a courts
leet and inquired: "Well, John, how
doe Molly get on now with hor
scolding?"
"Oh,' squire, her be pretty nearly
cured ou't."
"Did the ducking school do that
business?"
Oh, no; I let her jaw as long as
her liked. I geb her no back an
swers. I zot quiet and blowed me
bacca, and her soon dropt her scold
ing and be now as good a woman as
they be made!"

The Diphtheria Cure.
From the New Turk Tribune.
"Nature has her own remedy for
diphtheria," says a Chicago man.
"It is nothing more nor less than
pineapple juice. I declare that I
have found it to be a specific.
It will cure the worst case that ever
mortal flesh was afflicted with. I
did not discover the remedy. The
colored people of the South did that.
Tw years ago I was engaged in
lumbering in Mississippi. One of
my children was down with dipli
tberia, and the question of his death
was simply the problem for a few
hours to determine. An old colored
man to whom my wife had shown
some kindnesses, called at the house
and earing be bad heard of my little
one's illness, urged me to try pine
apple juice.
"The old fellow declared that in
Louisiana, where he came from, he
had scon it tried a million times,
and that in each case it had proved
affective. Ke I secured a pineapple
and squeezed out the juice. After
a while we got some of it down the
boy's throat, and in a short time he
was cured. The pineapple should be
thoroughly ripe. The jnice is of so
corsosiv a natnre that it will cut cut
the diphtheritic mucus. I tell you
it is a sure cure."
