Tbe Last of tbe Shanties.
It is to be regretted that a photf
graph was not taken of tbe last of th
old, small buildings on tbe Douga
rows of this place, tbe removal o
which took place last Monday. Thi
idea of a photograph or this "last o!
the lot" was suggested, bnt the old
"Squire's iffice" went down scone
than was expected. Its peculia
shape, and the broken and disjointed
boards, signs and letters npon it e
front, made it an object worth pre
serving tbe memory of. It had als<
become memorable as a seat of lav
and justice. Esquire Samuel G. Fur
▼is, deceased, for near twenty year?
administered justice in it, as a Justice
of tbe Peace. He was followed b]
others in tbe same capacity, amonj
them Enquire J. G. Muntz, who to
■any years acted usefully as a Just id
of the Peace ia that tenement He wai
followed by L. P. Walker, Esq. R
C. McAboy, Esq,, has tbe credit o
being tbe last one, and was acting ii
the same duty up to recently. Bu
it is gone, gone forever, the place tha
knew it to koown it no more, but to b<
supplied by a new and modern fash

friend, Mr. Frank F. Anderson.
Primary Election.
The Republican Primary Electioi
comes off tomorrow, Saturday. Thi:
really is the important election for thi
Republicans of this County, as who
ever are nominated now will io al
probability be elected in the fall
Therefore there should bo a full tun
out and the best men nominated.
Tbe positions on the ticket oi Del
" egates to the National and State Con
vcctions are filled absolutely at th<
primary, and the primary tberefon
cods that work. These Delegate*
are trust positions, which should IK
committed by the voters into trust
worthy bands. They are not posi
lions to be hawked about and peddiec
or traveled over the county for. Tht
interest* and M:ntimtnts of tbe peopl*
of tbe county alone should be consult
*-d in tbe selection ofdelearatea to rep
regent them in Conventions. With
candid»i<*n for the offices to b» elected
this fail they cf course are expected
to cinvaso the county, and we believe
have beea (king so, to an extent hi
lrr.st sufficient to bring out a pretty
fair vote at the primary, to-morrow
Tax death of Hon. Benjamin Har
ris Brewster, of Philadelphia, in the
Jjod ve»r of bis age, ends the career
of a notable iuan. Mr. Brewster oc
eapied Mime hij/h positions in boti
the Bu;te and Nation, and was a man
of much learning and eloquence. Re
w«f, however, a most peculiar look
ing as well as in Itis habits and
urt-i-s, alw.-vs dreeing in sicguiar
ai.ci rather saowy style. But with
all Lis ;«.eoliar'.iifc-3 he was respected
and honored for his abilities* and his
personal worth as a mua.
Pox't forget date of ftepufciicfp
fe'rituarj Election—April 14, Sotutv
New Caslle Delegates.
We bud exacted to be aMe this
week to give the full list of candi
dates, settled upon iu each of the 15
Bub districts of th 3 County to repre
sent the same at the coming New
Castle Convention. but up to this
writing Lave not been fully informed
as to the "nine. In some districts we
beiieve they aro fully settled upon,
whiie iu some others there may lw
two or more candidates. Hence W-J
are unable.to give names. It i< a
matter for the voters of each district
to determine at the polls on Saturday.
Qood men should be cho3en
in all cases, men of
standing aud character, who will
faithfully obey aud carry out the de
cision of the people.
THE story of "Minne-wa wa,V to
be seen on the first page of the <_ITI
ZKN this week,will be read with inter
est by the people of this town, as
soma of the principal scenes in the
story are laid as happening at a weli
known spot, now withiu our borough
limits. The story itself is founded
upon old Indian traditions. The "sour >
spring" still exists, but we presume
there would be a difference of opinion t
as to whether its water became and j
remain sour by reason of the cause j
assigned in the story. As to wheih
er Massy Harbison, in her escape anil
flight from the Indians really crossed ■
the Connoquenessiug at that point, i?s i
also an open question. Bat the story j
of Minne-wa wa is very happily and j
well written, and will greatly add to |
the literary reputation of our ycung
friend, the writer, of this place, and
now at College at Columbus, Ohio,
in the journal of which institution,
the "Spectator," we found the story.
REPUBLICAN Primary Election—
to-morrow:
The Truth Well Told.
Col. W. P. Hepburn, of lowa, in a
speech delivered at the recent lowa
State Couvention, draws the differ-1
ence between the two parties as fol
lows: . |
"The principal objection which is
now urged against the Republican
party is in regard to its vitality; it ;
won't die. The enemy complains
that it has outlived its usefulness.
The platform which was made in tui.-s
hall three years ago announced that!
no issue is settled until it is settled ■
right. In bis judgment no question j
is settled right so long as 10,000 men
in Georgia elected 11 men to Con
gress while it takes 32,700 votes in
lowa to elect the same number of
men ta Congress. So lonjr as a man
can serve in the Presidential chair no
longer than a dozen months ago who
a letter to South Carolina com
plimenting John C. Calhoun, things
ore not settled right. So long as the
man who commended Jeff. Davis to
the children of the country can be ap
pointed to a high office, so long as a
flag can be degraded to honor the
memory of a traitor like Jake Thomp
son, things are not 6e»tled right.
[Cheers ] So long as a Se.iator can
be taken hy this administration and
placed in the cabinet and subsequent
ly put ou the Supreme Bench, who
says 'no man can call in question the
' patriotism of Jt-ff Davis in my pres
-1 ence,' things are not settled right.
These are questions now prest-iug
' upon the people that no other pujty
than the Republican party can make
right. There is a necessity for the
Republican party which dares to
grapple with these great questions so
long as the anarchists are shouting
for division and destruction. What
party is the friend of Henry George ?
There is not a man in the country
who follows the red flag, who dooa
not hope that victory will porch oa
the Democratic party, as every
polycamist in Utah wishes for it Do
you ever hear of the Democratic party
rebuking the ballot box
the Ku Klux of the South. Where
! do you ever find the Democratic party
grappling with transportation ques
tions; where will you find a Demo
crat, or where can you look with hope
to Democrats to meet the great ques
-1 tion of trust ? Such questions are
i for the Republican party to meet,
and it alone will undertake the work
, Why is it that the Democratic party
is today unwilling that Dakota should
1 become a Slate, having 600,000 peo
- pie, a greater population than at least
; three Democratic States? Because
, they came with a Republican form of
goverment, and because it thoy did it
would be necessary to reform the map
of illiteracy of the United States
If vou examine the maps of illiteracy,
which are prepared so that you can
tell by the dark shadings whore tbc
mo6t* illiteracy comes, you will find
i that the dark shadings are right
, where Grover Cleveland got the ma
jorities which elected him. The real
trouble also in the tariff question is a
" similar one. The Democratic party
I will not dare to attack Ihe sugar tariff,
. for it would lose them Louisiana and
j seven electoral votes. They dare not
ofiend the South, yet they soy they
are tariff reformers. But tiiere is a
' differeuce when the Republicans talk
• about reforming the tariff. When
! the Democrats reform the tariff they
, propose to destroy the protective prin
ciple, which is the vitalizing force of
' all the industries of the country,
while we believe in regarding the
■ principles of the present tariff and
. lopping off the inequalities. They
say we ought to feel as much for the
people across the ocean, but. somehow
we can't do it. We like one of our
* own people here iu America better
■ than one of those from across the
water. The Democratic reformer
says, let the foreigner with his cheap
labor in other countries stacid on au
equality with the mail who has been
' long here and has tniilt up this coun
! try. We prefer that wages should
. be high here rather than they should
' be high there. That is the difference
between the two parties."

SICK CNTO DEATH.
Ex-Senator Conkling's Career
Drawing to Its Close.
NEW YORK, April 0. lloscoe
Cmklinu's condition changed much
for the worse last ni«:ht. lie was
buoyed up in the evening by the pre
sence of his wife, whom he bad not
been pe milted to see since bis illness
became serious. After her departure
he sank into a stupor from which no
aroused but at loug intervals, nod
then only to dif-play symptoms of de
lirium. "Dr. Asrnew, the eminent oc
ulist, called at Air. Conkling s resid
ence last night. At the time of his
leaving the patient seemed to he not
much worse, though his temperature
had risen perceptably Dr. Fordyce
Barker said today that he feared Air
Conkling's ocular trouble had caused
an affection of the bram which may
prove fatal. "All I care to say just
now," said Dr. Barker, "is that Mr.
Conkliug has bid a bad change with
in the last twenty-four hours and is
very poorly indeed. I have called in
Dr. Sands acd Dr. Delafield, at:d
they iu company with Dr. Aguew and
myself will visit the patient."
At 2:30 P M. Mr. Conkling's con
dition was unchanged from tbo last
report. At 2 o,clock Drs. Sands,
De'afield, Barker and Agncw called
at Mr. Conkling's house aud had a
consultation. A few minutes after
Hamilton Fish called, but was not
admitted. Dr. Barker, at the con
clusion of the conference, said ti.at
the patient's condition was very un
promising; that he was suffering from
inflammation of the ear which hat] ex
tended to the membranes of the brain.
The probabilities were that Mr Couk
! ling would not recover, though there
was a possibility that that he might
i get well. His temperature was 103 i
j and his pulse 100. Dr. Barker did
; not think that there would be any
j marked chauge in his patient's condi
tion for twelve hours.
The consultation of physicians be
tween 4 and 5 o'clock resulted in the
decision to immediately cut through
the temporal bone to ascertain wheth
er there was pas lodge on the brain.
Dr. Sands was tho operating surgeon,
and it was aunounced as very suc
cessful, a secretion of matter having
been found.
Drs. Fordjce Barker and Sands call
ed at 9:20 and found the patieut. rcst
iut? quiotly and his condition materi
ally improved. Since the operation
his temperature hud fallen to 102 and
his pulse to 92. The operation was
performed by making an incision in
the temporal bone. About an ounce
of pu.l flowed out. The patient was
under the influence of ether, aarl he
relied and tossed so :h'it it was only
with dTiicuLy that the operation
was performed. I>r. Barker said
that while the recovery of the patient
is not assured ho stands a mueh bet
ter chance than before. The opera
tion was very successful, and no dan
ger is apprehended for at least twe;ve
'jours After the-operation Mr. Conk
ling arose, walked iuto an adjoiuing
room and returned. Besides the phys
icians Mrs Conkling aud married
daughter were with the pattern con
stantly. Mr. Conkling has not been
able to recognize anyone but bis wife
during the day, aud he will probably
remain unconscious all night because
of toe anastbetic which was adminis
tered. Drs. Batker and Sands left
the sick-chamber at 9:45 and wili not
return until 9 A. M. tomorrow.
The surgica' operation performed is o.
vary delicate one. It consists ia the
anting out and removal of a part of
th« squamous portion of the tempo
ral bone, the incision being miide up
on the prominence which may '>3 felt
just behind the ear. Beneath liiis
lies the mechanism of the ear, and
in cases in which this mech
anism becomes involved involved
in serious suppuration, as in this in
stance, it becomes necessary to make
an opening through which tho pas
mnv be drawn off. Otherwise the
inflammntion will extend to the tissue
el the brain. Deafness of the ear op
erated on results. The saw or drill
with which the circular piece of spon
gy bono is excised is like a jagged
fcdso on tne oa;i of a piece of small
steel tubirg. it is fixed for the first
few turus by a prop* in the center
The whole instrument is called a tre
phine. When the region of the inner
eur has been reached the circular disk
of bone is carefully extracted aud the
membrane beneath the bone cut
through. A drainage tube is then to
be inserted, through which the mat
ter forming in the abscess eau fl >w
freely into antiseptic absorbent cottuii
at the outer end of the tube This
affords the best chance of confining
the inflammation to its narrowest lim
its.
At 12 midnight Mr Conklir.g was
w '.living up and down his room in a
half delirious condition. He sen; tor
Kdward S. Stokes, and when he ar
rived Mr. Conkling suid to him: "Ed,
it is no use I am gone, i have
fought against this for some time. 1
can't stand it any longer."
Mr. Stokes in go::ig oat saw Dr.
Sands at the door. He asked the Doc
i tor ii Mr Conkling bad uny chance.
Dr. Sands: "He may live forty-eight
hours, but I doubt it."
At 12:1 s Mr. Coupling's condition
was unchanged. He iusi.-ts on rising
and walking about the room, but
! does so in a deiitiuua, as has not re
gained consciousness.
At 1:30 A. M. there was little dilfer
ence in tiie condition of Mr. Conkling
from his midnight. He v\r.:s then sit
| ting up aud was slightly delirious.

An Act was passed or approved
the 2nd day of April, 1873, defining
what days constitute legal holidays.
Is r#ads as follows:
SECTION 1. Be it enacted that the
following days, namely: First day of
January, twenty-second day of Feb
ruary, the fourth day of July, the
25th day of December, and every day
appointed bv the Governor .. this
State or the President of the United
States as a day of fasting or thanks
giving or for the general cessation of
business, shall b« regarded as legal
I holidays and shall, for all purposes
whatsoever as regards the presenting
for payment or acceptance and of the
protesting and giving notice of the
dishonor of bills of exchaage, bank
notes, checks, drafts, and promissory
notes, made after the passage of this
act, be treated and considered as is
the day of the week commonly called
Sunday.
From the foregoinir it will no doubt
he seen how any discuswon came
about. The chief clei kin the State
| Department, whoever it was, neglect
ied to digest or index this »&s>, and
; hence the discussion about the exis
| tence of this law. It could not be
j found in Pardon's Digest, and hence
! this dispute as regarded the existence
|of this law. Hence the only question
I that would naturally arise is whether
1 the act of 1873 virtually repealed the
j act of 1869. Decoration Day. May
| 30:h, has since that time been added
to the list of legul holidays.

The above named school is situat
ed about two miles south-oast of But
j ler ou tho Freeport pik*. Thither
ward might have been see a Young
i Am rica winding iis way with merry
| hiugh and Mailing face ou the 10th of
I October ladt. There it was that I
j have been greeted as teaoher, every
school-day morning, during the past
six months With us seemed to en
ter the God of peace aau suushine,
continuing with us during th-i cutiro
term. Scarcely a ripple ever Aspired
to agitate the surface of our calm sea.
We can call to memory many plea
ant circumstances and events of note
aud interest, but which we will not
relate lest we encroach on the editor's
space; but I cannot cast aside all
memories unnoticed. First
curne the holidays, and with them
their general characteristics.
The scholars memorized the occas
ion by presenting me with a most
splendid call beli of exquisite bc-auty
and design.
Next came Easter with its festivi
| ties, and it is nvedless to say that
kind hearts did not forget their teach
j er. Last, but not least, came the
closing day und likewise, as was their
j woat, came the scholars, wearing
' their usual smiles bringing for their
teacher some beautiful boquets of
which a king might justly be proud
These gifts are not only beautiful,
useful and valuable, but they carry
with them worlds of meaning; mean
ing which has endeared tho brick
j walls of Lindsey school to me. 1
! shall cherish these gilts as precious
i mementos of respect aud good will.
Now as to the progress wo have
I made.
I will not dwell on this point,
i trusting that our progress is suffioient-
Ily obvious to all concerned. True,
; some have progressed more rapidly
j than others, but this is largely owing
| to the efforts put forth by each pupil,
j I am glad to say that quite a number
| beijun some of the commonly
|ed branches. These were new stud
• ies and seemed hard, consequently
j the progress was "rlow.
At the opening of school, none
i were studying Geography, Grammar
or History. During the tertn four
teen began Geography, nineteen
began Grammar and eight began His
tory.
The per cent of the attendance in
creased each month; that of the last
: month bi-iug the best in the report
book, which has been in use since
! ISBO. Wa used the report cards.
On the 1 uat day quite a number of
i our friends came to visit us; at noon
' lessons were abandoned aud the re
mainder of the day given up to merry
! mnkii/g.
During our jollity we were agreea

Having' finished my term of school'
at Glade Milia, I desire to return my j
grateful acknowledgment to the Pi- j

Rurip.irt and to th» pupils for their'
regular attendance, dilieeuce and or- j

During the winter there were en-.

and Ella Miller, Jennie Foresythe t
and Leona Cooper missed no days
daring the term. Several missed but]
one day. Most of the scholars made
rapid progress.
Duriu>r the term the school was :
visited by rnaDj of the patrons and j
others interested iu education, among j
whom were our Co Sup't. Prof. .T.
L. Suyder, Revs. E Ogden, R E. |
Lnckey, and D. L Johnston. School j
closed April 4th. The morning 'of |
that day the chiidreu and their par-!
ents came to school with well filled j
baskets The morning session was |
called and USURI ciasses recited. At j
12 M. the scbocl v. as disnii.-..-ed for (
I the noon hour The table having |
been arranged the lit v. Mr Lackey ,
asked the blessing after which those
present partook of the good things
upon the table.
In the afternoon tnauy of the schol
ars was called upon for essays and
recitations which were read" aud re
cited elegantly.
The school was then very appro
priately addressed by elegant speak
ers. After which the teacher made a
presentation of books to those who
had merited them by their eilicient
work in their respective classes. Then
the teacher himself was the recipient
of beautiful present, from the schol
ars as a token of their respect.
School work is like rowing a boat
on u lake or river. If but one oar is
used the boat turns round and round
and round, and little progress is made
but when both pupils and teacher
work faithfully the boat of education
flies swiftly over tha waters and the
dilliculties of school work is passed
rapidly by. The pupils worked in
dustriously at their oar and I only
hope that I pulled as faithfully at
mine.

day evening, April sth, 1888. The
Contracting parties were Miss Aggie
Marks and Mr. Thomas Marshall, of
Richland Tp., Allegheny county.
Promptly at 8 o'clock a niece of the
bride's, Miss Laura Shepard. sweated
hetvcll at ihe organ and played the fa
mous wedding march "Bells ot Eveu
iug" and to its lively strains the hriuttl
couple,escorted by the bridesmaid and
groomsman, Miss Lulu Marks and
Mr. Elmer Graham, swept into the
brilliantly lighted parlors where th v
were joined in the bonds of matrimo
ny by the Rev. Heaay, of Bakers
town, after which Mr. and Mrs. Mar
shall received the congratulations of
those present, among whom were the
Rev. Ogden and Rev Lackey a&d
wife, then Rev. Heany and wife led
the way to the dining room where the
long* tables 'airly groaued beneath its
load which consisted of tho choicest
delicacies of the season in rich abun
dance. After all were satisfied the
company adjouruea to the parlors
again where music aud enjoyment
reigned supreme till the "wee sma
hours" of the morning. The bride
and bridesmaid were dressed iu black
si lit aai to say the least, both looked
very handsome.- On a table to one
side we noticed ths presents which
were both numerous aud costly. Fi
nally the happy couple started for
their new home in Bakerstown which
was iu readiness for them. That the
Goddess of success and happiness
may smile bountifully on che happy
couple, is the wish ot an
OLD FBIEND.
