THOMPSON ) ~ , A. M. CHRISTLEY { REPUBLICAN PRlMAßY —Saturday week. . Delegates to New Castle. A friend writes ns for information M to the manner of selecting tbe sub Congressional and National delegates to New Castle. Our County Committee left this point open and did not provide for any plan. The Republicans of each tab district therefore have the right and power to select the said delegates in their own way. But the difficulty arises in districts of more than two towuhips— or even in two townships —to have concert of action. In some districts some leading men have com municated by letters on the subject, and bad a meeting and made the se lections. This meeting was at some central point. In other districts the present Committeemen, of the Coun ty Committee, have met and conferred and designated the two delegates to New CMtle. In other districts the Mid Committeemen have caused to be published a meeting of Republicans of MOM to make the selections, as will bs noticed in CITIZEN of last week. This would appear to be the most ju dicious mode, and if not too late can be acted upon. When no agreement, or meeting of any kind is had, each township of a snb district has the right and can vote at the coming Pri mary for two delegates of their own, and when counted up in the County Convention of Return Judges on the 16th inst., tbe two highest in vote in the whole sub district would be the two elected, to go to New Castle. In aome districts, such as No. 2, Mercer, Marion and Venango Tps., it may be inconvenient to hare any general or central meeting, but their is enough time perhaps to yet have some notice given either by the Committeemen of the nme, or by notice by letter or otherwise, and a meeting held at some designated place to make the selections in time for the primary election. This would save confusion, by concentrating the votes in all paits of a district upon the two sub dele gates to New Castle. The said sub delegates vote at New Castle for the candidate having the highest vote in their district. The Primary Election. Considerable interest is being man ifested in the Republican primary election next Saturday week, April 14, and if the day is anjways favor able there will be a full turnout of the voters: Rhode Island Redeemed. PROVIDENCE, R. 1., April 4 The (Molt of the election to-day was a surprise to tbe Democrats, who had been building great hopes on Repub licaa dissensions. A year ago Davis, tbe Democratic candidate, won by a plurality of 2.984. This year he is defeated' Taft, the Republican candi date. carrying tbe State by abont 2, 000 on tbe general ticket. The Re publicans win a sweeping victory on the Legislature, capturing this city, aad about 25 of the other 35 towns. An Important Matter. Within tbe n<>xt month, pays the Philadelphia Prexs, nominations of candidates for the Legislature will be made by the Republicans in some of the counties, and within tbe next three months a large per cent of all the nominations for the several coun ties will t>e completed. It is never too soon to give consideration to mat ters of such consequences as this rhe next Legislature will not have a Uni ted States to elect in the natural course of events, but questions ot much greater importance to the people of tbe State will be l>efore it. These questions are not likely to ex*ite such keen political interest nor serve so much to produce party division, but tbey will be such as the Republi can party cannot trust to other bauds, and it is important that every prepa ration be made lor Republican'success in the legislative districts. The obligation of tbe party to sub mit the prohibition constitutional amendment to a vote of the people has not yet been fully discharged, aud will not "be until the next Legislature has confirmed the action of the last one. No one doubts that this will be done with a Republican majority. Every ODe knows that it wili not be done if the Democrats secure coutrol of the House. To that end Demo cratic effort will be directed. The party will have the energetic assist ance of the free liquor interest aggra vated to unusual exertions by temper ance legislation given the State by the Legislature. This element will lend every possible support to Democratic candidates, and that support will be accepted by the Democrats with a full understanding of what it is to mean in the event of Democratic success. The combination will have large money resources; it will be at work night and day, and it will require more than ordinary vigilance and energy to combat it. We are pleased to note, however, that a large number of voters who have for some time vo ted the third party prohibition ticket, have resolved to support the Repub lican candidates for Assembly, real izing that a vote lor third party can didates is, practically, half a vote in lavor of tbe liquor interests. It is practically impossible to change the political control of the Sen ate. One-half that body holds over With the House it is different. Every member of that body is to be elected this year, and the tact that the last House had a Republican majority of 71 and the previous House of 81 should not be accepted as settling the result. The House of 1883 had a Democratic majority of 25, and no such effort was made by the Democrats to secure it as will be made this year. We do not fear the result, but it will not produce itself. The opposition will give its attention to the close districts, and employ all its resources in them. With the aid of the liquor element they are confidently relying upon se curing the most of these districts. How far they may succeed will depend upon the way in which their efforts are met by the Republicans, Squeezed to Death by a Bear. HUNTINGDON MTLLS, PA., April 1. —Hiram Berth was squeezed to death by a tame bear last Thursday in Sweet Yalley. Two Italians have recently been traveling through the country with a large trained bear. They had picked up a good many pennies when Berth, a half-witted fel low, created a diversion by throwing off his coat and turning a series of somersaults and handsprings with bruin. After the bear and Hiram had amused the people for some time the Italians moved off, carrying Hiram's coat, which contained a small amount of money. Hiram secured a warrant and he and Constable Samuel Kester pursued the Italians and the bear and attempted to make the arrest. The Italians promptly removed bruin's muzzle and he stood up ready for fight. Hiram, seeing his lost coat, rushed toward the fugitives to secure it, One of the showmen mumbled something to the bear in Italian, and the animal rushed at Berth, embraced bim and, falling upon him, soon crushed the life out of the poor fellow. Constable Kester in the meantime had attacked the bear and, placing his revolver at the enraged animal's ear, shot him dead, but he was too late to save Berth. The showmen then turned upon the officer and felled him to the ground with a club. Be fore the Constable could regain his feet the Italiaus wrenched his revolver from his grasp and fired two shots at the officer from his own weapon as they ran away. Neither of the bul lets took effect and the Italians suc ceeded in escaping, leaving the body of Berth and that of the bear lying close together. Remember That Republican primary election comes off on Saturday, April' 14. HON. DAVID N. WHITE, for many years editor of the Pittsburgh Ga zette, died at his residence in Sewick ley, Allegheny coanty, on Sunday last, April 1, in the 83d year of his age. Mr. White, in his time, edited the Oazelte with great courage and ability, and those of the old readers of that journal yet Hying in this coun ty will respect his memory and re gret to learn of his death. He was one of the builders-up of the Republi can party. —John H. Landis, of Lancaster, the author of the primary election law, has offered himself as a candidate for State Senator for the southern dis trict of that county, now represented by Senator Mylin. Mr. Landis pro poses to practice himself what his law compels other candidates to practice, and appends to the announcement of his caudidacy the following notice : "I will not spend or authorize any one to spend for me any money, or its equivalent, to illegally influence voters at the ensuing primary elec tion. 1 will keep an itemized ac count of my expenses from the begin ning to the close of the campaign.and will make affidavit to the correctness thereof, and will give a copy of the same to any newspaper desiring it for publication." This is a manly notice to the party strikers, who support candidates for boodle only, thai Mr. Landis is not after their votes or influence and does not intend to waste any time or money on them. His services to the cause of honest legislation and an honest ballot entitle him to the nomi nation and election he seeks. That be will be successful, however, is not at all certain; for the honest voters, who are doubtless in the majority in Lancaster, as in most places, are sometimes indifferent to the cause of honest government, while the bor ti lers are ever alert to their own inter ests.— Philadelphia Press.

CeariOjV, Pa , April I.—The mur derer ol Mrs. Jemima Everhart and her mother, Mrs. Jaae Gilliilau, who lived half a mile from Liekingviile, has at last been discovered. The t tvo ladies were fouud with their throats cut on March 8, 188 G. and several persona were brought to trial for the crime, but sufficient evidence to convict was always wanting. The Discovery was made through Jerred Cook, a horse-thief, who was arrested last fall for stealing a horse by Detec tive McKean, near Dubois, and put in Clarion jail. While being taken to jiil Cook told his story. It was that, while Berving his fourth term in the peni teutiary for horse stealing, he became acquainted with Henry Worlhington, aldo a convict, and shortly after Cook's discharge in October, 1887, he met Worthington ngain. Then he made an appointment with Worthington to meet him and arrange for the robbery of an old couple in Allegheny who al ways kept a large sum of money in their house. When they met Worth ington said it might be necessary to do a little shooting and cutting be fore they were through with the job. Cook objected to murder, though he did not object to robbery. Then Worthington told how he and two companions committed the Everhart murder. One of the party had been separated from the other two in the woods while the three were coon hunting, and during that time Worth ington and the other man robbed the Everharts of S3OO and murdered the two women, hiding the butcher knife with which the murders were com mitted in a drain. When Worthiug tou bad told this story Cook still re fused to join him in his proposed crime and next morning started for his home at Sligo, hiring the rig at East Brady, tor stealing which he was arrested. Worthington shadow ed him the whole distance, fearing that he would 'squeal.' Warrants were issued against Worthington, but John Worthington was arrested by mistake. The police then shadowed Harry Worthington, delaying his arrest until further evi dence was obtaiaed. But two or three weeks ago he crave them the slip, and ou March 20 Cook escaped from jail. Another of the perpetra tors of the Everhart murder is iu the penitentiary for horse stealing, and an effort will be made to get evidence from him.

Dr. Clark confines his practice to CHRONIC DISEASES exclusively, and will treat only such cases as are susceptible of a certain and positive Diagnosis as a basis for specific treatment. Serious Cases, In cases seriously complicated or of uncertain diagnosis, patients have the advantage of Dr. Clark's CHEMICAL ami MICROSCOPIAL Exam inations, which are most complete. Chroulc In valids should not fall to consult Dr. Clark, as he makes all Examinations without questioning patients or allowing them to make any statement concerning their disease or its symp toms. If their diseases are not sufficiently de veloped to make a positive and certain Diagno sis in tiits manner Dr. Clark wl.l not treat the case. Dr. Clark's Methods for the Clinical Examina tion of Patients constitute a real advance in Practical Medicine, and From a Physiological and Pathological Standpoint Dr. Clark believes that every fully developed disease lias its own definite diagnostic symp toms by which it is known. Paiieuts. Patients know how they feel, but the physi cian, after examining Ills case, should not only know the patient's teeiings and symptoms, but should know why they exist. Dr. Clark's Claims. Dr. Ciark's claims to the patronage of the af flicted public consist In liis belief that every fully developed constitutional disease presents its own specific diagnostic or characteristic symptoms, which It thoroughly understood by tiie Examining -Physician, can be accurately poiated o!it and described to the entire satis faction or every patient. Hence Dr. Clark makes Lis examinations Willi) ut tiuest ,:ht patients, or allowing them to make any statement concerning their disease or its symptoms. Positive Diagnosis.

Thorough huouledge. This method of examination prevents the Doctor's Judgment Horn being in any way bias ed by what the patient may say; and the Doc tor's treatment of the case is based upon his own knowledge of the disease, .derived from a thor ough examination of the patient's condition, and not from anything the patient may say. All £xiiuiiuatfou. An examination from Dr. Clark, or an inter view, will convince the incredulous or satisfy any one of ids professional ability derived from a large experience, lu this way patients receive satisfaction before incurring expense for medi cal treatment. l>r Clark's Visits arc Made Ist—To meet the chronic Invalids who cannot leave their iamilles to doctor with a Specialist in chronic diseases. 2d—To meet elderly persons who cannot go from lion:e to doctor with a Spe cialist In chronic diseases. 3d—To meet chronic Invalids who cannot leave their business to doc tor with a Specialist in chronic diseases. 4th— To meet patients who are physically unable to go from home to doctor with a Specialist in Chronic Diseases. sth To meet patients who are financially unable to go from home to doctor with a .specialist in chronic diseases.
