Down in Benton Columbia county
the teachers of their schools to
gether with the young people of the
town, are giving entertainments for
the purpose of defraying the ex
penses of a new hoard W:Uk leading
to their school buildinfr. We would
suggest a similar move by the j T oung
people of LaPorte, inasmuch as it
would appear that this is the only
way the much needed necessity can
be realized. The town council have
sadly ignored the wants of the peo
ple in this instance.
Secretary Blaine and the Presi
dent are in perfect accord, as they
have been from the firstj notwith
standing the sensational statements
to the contrary. Mr. Blaine's re
cent attack of nausea at a Cabinet
meeting which necessitated his leav
ing before the meeting closed, and
which prevented his attending the
President's first State dinner of the
season to his Cabinet that night,
was made the basis of lots of stories
even more senseless than those usu
ally told by the men who are trying
hard to stir up strife between these
two friends, and they were all ex
ploded by the fact that Mr. Blaine
entertained the President and sever
al members of the Cabinet at dinner
the very next night. "

A CRAK'S MANIA.
'•He That NtantleOi on Slippery
PUeeo Should be Shod W itli
Npikei."
There is a man in this city who is
a crunk on one subject, he has a
mania for repeating old saws, say
ings that our grandfathers called
stale. On Monday evening this
man came out of the post-office and
stood under the awning in front ot
Batman's store. Near the iron
posts that support the awning was a
very slippery spot. A dude dressed
very loudly came up Third Street
steped on the spot mentioned and
described a semi-circle which caused
his head to strike the pavement.
The crank made this remark, "Pride
goeth before a fall." The dude
arose and with a look of hatred at
the speaker continued his interrupt
ed walk. A business man hurrying
to the postoffice to get his mail, suf
fered in the same manner as the
dude, When he arose the crank
again opened his mouth and these
words issued therefrom. "The more
haste the less Speed." Very appro
priate wasn't it ? The next victim
to approach the fated spot was ft
man who was three sheets in the
wind. He pulled a bottle from his
pocket and was abont to take a swig
when he also fell. "There's many a
slip twixt the Clip and the lip"
greeted the toper. The crank's
curiosity overcame him and he
walked toward the slippery place to
see it. lie saw it and what was
more he saw stars. As he arose and
vanished in the darkness the follow
ing words floated out upon the
damp and misty air, "How are the
mighty fallen."— Ex.
The people of LaPorte will elect

election, viz: One burgess; three
councilmen ; two school directors;
two overseers of the poor ; one con
stable ; one assessor ; one collector ;
one judge of election ; t.wo inspect
ors : two auditors and town clerk.
We have plenty of competent mater
ial to fill these offices and the peo
ple should see to it that they are
placed upon the ticket.
He Brought Too Many.
In Bald Eagle township & certain
man brought in so many wild oat
skins to 'Squire Ro.*ser, says the
Lock Haven Democrat, that the lat
ter finally began to think that the
woods were full of them. The
'Squire would clip the ears ofj and
pigeon-hole them, return the hide to
the fellow, and in a couple of days
back lie would come with another
cat. Soon the 'Squire began to
"smell a mice," as it were, and one
day when the chappy came in with
a cat skin lie »iiaile a closer examina
tion and found that it was the same
old skin and that the cute individual
had been manufacturing ears out of
other pieces of skin and sewing them
on, and that he (the 'Squire) had
been clipping off the made ears and
pigeon holing them. One day last
week when the fellow found that his
trick had been discovered, he made
a grab for the contents of the pigeon
hole, and after a scuffle with the
'Squire, succeeded in getting off
with them, thus hoping to destroy
the evidence of his rascality. But
the 'Squire can swear to the circum
stances, and it maj r go hard with the
smart car manufacturer yet.
Ice For Dipllieria.
Dr. Mayer's announcement thrit
he bases his treatment of diptherin
upon the energetic use of ice, which
is perseveringly applied, both Ex
ternally and internally. Icebags
are to be kept on the neck, care
being taken that the swollen glands
are directly in contact with the ice,
which is to be constantly renewed,
and simultaneously the patients
drink ice water by means of a bent
glass tube, and pieces of ice are
kept in the mouth—wine or syrup,
or any flavoring agent, may be added
to the water if desired. Chlorate of
potash is also given internally in
small doses ; and the author believes
that the use of baths and antipjretics
is useless, but the adoption of ft
strengthening diet, including wine,
is a matter of course. It is added
that experience with this method
exclusively during a period of six
teen years has convinced Dr. Slayer
of its value—none of his patients
having died, and seldom was the lar
ynx involved. Keep this cure in mind,
perhaps it may some time prove
very valuable to yourself or family.

Spring Elections.
At the February election, con
stables and assessors will be elected
for three years. Under the new
law each district elects but one as
sesor, who does all the registering
and assessing, and in the third year
of his term makes the triennial as
sessment—hence the importance of
judgment in the selection, that
competent men may be selected.
The new election law of the state
goes into effect March 1, 1892.
Under the new law the judges and
inspectors elected next month will
be required to hold the election next
November. Election boards, there
fore, should be chosen with a view
to thorough competency rind re
sponsibility.
