Colonel Bryan has announced
himself as a candidate for the
presidency in 1900, on the plat
form of opposition to the acquisition
of the Philippine Islands, or any
other territory beyond this conti
nent. Though the colonel was
made a colonel by a few scratches
of a pen, it is plain from his plat
form that a soldier life don't suit
him and he is not like Alexander
of old, longing for other worlds to
cou'iuor. He doesn't want to cap
tiire anything but the presidential
seat in the White House. He did
not capture the presidency on the
silver issue, but in 1900 he expects
to capture it bv organizins: the
tleuioeraey in opposition to the ex
tension of the boundary lines of the
United States beyond the continent.

people paid no attention to the
matter, but one day some doctor
belonjrinsr to the State board of
health tame that way, and then
the doctors of Bedford found out
that they are kuow nothings and
that the aforesaid State board of
health doctor knows everything in
the way of diseases, and set the
Bedfordtown doctors aside, and
scolded and said it is not chicken
pox, but small por, and your dis
eased:people must be shut up in
their houses. It was a gieat sur
prise to the people of Bedfordtown
to learn that they had a dangerous
disease, instead of a disease that is
seldom dangerous, and some of
tbem are wondering why small pox
is so little dreaded when it is be
lieved to be chicken pox, and why
chicken pox is so much dreaded
when it is believed to be small pox.

were afiLktl with chicken tmx.

tEE, JOHH PATTERSQM AID
TRACTION.
George A. Lee, a New York pro
moter is a fugative, dodging the
officers of the law of New York
City. He had a large experience
with John J. Patterson, Sr., in
traction deals. Patterson sold
Lancaster traction bonds at a high
figure to Juniata county people,
and sold Traction bonds to Lee at
a low figure. The Juniata people
have their bonds, but Lee sold the
bonds that he got at a low figure
to a New York broker at a high
figure.
"PULLED PATTERSON'S LEG."
Lee pulled Patterson's financial
leg hard if Patterson was not in
the game as a silent partner. But
Patterson's leg was not pulled as
hard as was the financial leg of the
Juniata people, for Patterson has
been getting a swell liOffo out of
the concern and the Juniata peo
ple are getting nothing.
Lee was a daring swindler in
New York. The New York World
of December 14, tells a great deal
about him. As far as known he
began his swindling career in Buf
falo, N. Y. State, and some three
years ago, came to New York City.
His operations there were on a
tremendous scale. He made great
sums of money by disposing of
stocks and bonds of dubious value.
TRACTION J50XP.3.
It is said that he cleared about
$100,000 on the Eastern Elevator
deal in New York, and he secured
possession of 1200 bonds of the
Pennsylvania Traction Company
the lace value ot the bouds being
1,200,000 organized to build and
operate a trolly system in Lnncas
ter, Pa., for $19,500 cash and some
Eastern Elevutor stock. - 1
LEE MEETS PATTERSON" .
"About the time Lee left Buffalo,
he fell in with John J.. Patterson,
now of Lancaster, Pa., the prime
mover in the Pennsylvania Trac
tion Company. Lee secured a big
block of its bonds. The Traction
Company operated trolley lines in
Lancaster.
The Company divided its lines
into two systems having the same
names.
On the city system, with lifty
nine miles of track $2,000,000
bonds were issued, and in the
country system, with twelve
miles of track $2,500,000, bonds
were issued, that is $1,500,
000. It is said the tracks
are worth about $100,000. If the
tracks of the two systems are
worth oue hundred thousand dol
lars, nearly half enough money
went out of Juniata county to pay
for them.
TWO CENTS OX THE DOLLAR.
The men who have tried to mar
ket the bonds in New York have
been offered only two cents on the
dollar tor them
PA'
bat he rrst met Lee in in
the office of Geo. P. MelllThe
tter said he had sold bonds of a
railroad in Nanticoke, Pa., to one
Lee from Buffalo, who was very
ncu. Lee came into the oince
while Patterson was there.
BECAME CHt'M.MY.
The men lecaiiie chummy and
raveled around the country to
gether, Patterson continued:
Mr. Zook, the general manager
and I made a contract with Mr.
I.ee in writing to trade him 5100,-
000 of bends for S? 100,000 of East
ern Elevator slock, on which he
agreed to give us $50,000. That was
n September 1898. I do not know
that the bonds at that time had
any nominal value, nor do I know
the value of the stocs except that
he said he would loan us $50,000
on it, but he never did. All we
ever got out of the man was $19,-
500.
CONTRACT WITH LEE
After that, I think in October,
Mr. Zook and I made a contract
contract
with Lee in writing bv which he '
was to take 100,000 of the lioudB
at 20c; 8100,000 at .10c; $100,000
at 40c: and 5100,000 at 50c. The
contracts were not kept except the
first, by which we got i!9,500.
THE COMPANY EOKIiOWS.
Afterwards the company lxr-
rowed $40,000 in New York, put
ting up $200,000 of the bonds as
collateral. We crave him these ;
bonds and took his checks, one
being for 20,000, which he asked
us to hold.
We are holding it.
I don't kuow that you have the
right to ask me how many more
bonds Lee got possession of, that
is a personal matter between him
and me.
LEE AND FOGG.
Lee fell iu with Francis A.
Fogs:, who is favorable known in
Wall street. Lee absolutely
the affection and confidence of
Lee convinced FoTr that
he was a man of larsre means, that
he had $1,000,000, worth of unin-
cumbered real estate in Buffalo.
VX LOADS OX FOGG.
It is said Lee first unloaded 100
lionds iinon Foire for $80,000 in
cash. Then he sold another lot
for $175,000 in 'lermmal bonds.
In all it is said that Lee sold to
Fogg 700 Traction bonds for which
he receive 1 So50,000 in casn anu
securities,
WHAT HUME SAID
Patterson, said Mr. Hume,
t
yes
tprdav. "sold Lee some bonds
u'Jh m a v,r no-o. and
to ,5. tloTooO in
ti" rotwi t ,1 k
I have brought suit against him to
recover the amount.
f TvinU
over $400,000 worth
The suit has not been tried yet.
LEE B 31A.MJI
FOR DISPLAX.
Lee had a mania for display.
He almost always paid his restaur
ant checks with a one hundred
dollar bill. When he attended
church he always dropped one
hundred dollars into the collection
basket. His confidence games in
business transactions are legion.
Give him a fact, or one grain of
honest transaction for a basis and
he'd soon magnify it into a bushel
of chaff to get off on any and all in
to whose good graces he could talk
and display himself. Search is
going on for Lee." It is said he
is in New Jersey, where he is safe
from the civil order of arrest.

BKEAK I PAPOKER
fi ilHE.
Bloomsbukc, December 11.
Sunday last a young wife aud her
mother-in-law made a raid upon a
poker den in a stable in South
Danville, and dispersed the gamb
lers by clubbing them severely.
That they had heroically taken the
law into their own hands and
broken up the game to save a rela-
tive from ruin caused a sensation,
but it was believed that the affair
ended there. That notion proved
a mistaken one
Yesterday Mrs. Edward Hniu-
uier and Mrs. Jacob Hummer
brought suit against Harvey Gas-
kins, charging him with keeping a
1 gambling place anu ucing a public
: nuisance. Gaskins who conducted
! two gambling places, did not deny
ithe fact, but pleaded ignorance of
the law. He was held under $300
bail for court
Public approval of the action of
the two wronged but determined
women is expressed on all sides,
ami thev will be eriven everv assis
; tance in the prosecution of the
keeper of the gambling dens
; other arrests are expected to fol
jow. The public both pity and
laugh, for it is a notable fact that
in at least every third family in
Danville, and Bloomsburg too, the
: i.. .i 1 - a
K'"J -'-'J
ome houses every evening, and
frequently for prizes. The public
:Bay what is the dillerence between

and people playing cards in

ENJOY ABLE GRIP.
The Xorth American, of Decem
ber 17, speaks of the new-grip that
has appeared in Philadelphia
items. Physicians say there is a
new brand of grip epidemic in the
city just at this time, which pos
sesses peculiarities not know to be
attached to any other disease.
This variety of grip attacks the
head and throat, and is apt to
tackle its victim at a moment's
notice, and in any place. Worse
than all, it is contagions. First of
all, there is a slight fever, and the
patient's cheeks become flushed.
Then the eyes become swollen
and watery, and there is a contin
ual discharge from the nostrils and
the throat becomes swollen and
sore. These symptoms are follow
ed by a spasmodic cough. The
strangest thing about this type of
grip is that it is not accompanied
by that depressed, spiritless feel
ing which was the case with the
old variety of influenza, but, on
the contrary, the victim enjoys
great buoyancy of spirits, and is
with difficulty persuaded that he
is sick. This disease is attacking
everybody these days.
