Chus. S. Seeley, proprietor ol
the Forksville Hotel, has made
many noticeable changes on the old
stand and one would hardly recog
nize the building as the Forksville
House of a year ago. He has built
a three story addition to the struct
ure which increases the size of his
dinning room nearly one-half, adds
ten bedrooms to the former list and
also gives him a private parlor. The
new bedrooms as well as the ol<]
ones are very nicely furnished. The
interior of the old part of the build
ing is being papered »nd paintec
and when completed will compare
quite favorably with the new addi
tion. A veranda has been ere,cted
along the cast side of the building
and is very pretty quarters to spent
an hour or two in quietness ane
sightseeing.

loud huzza's of welcome. Bob Sim

throttle, and conductor Knipe hac
the train in charge, The train was

HE GOT THERE.
The Plucky Dutchman Nareeedg
iu lteMciiiiig the World'* Fair.
Chas. J. Guetling arrived at the
Pennsylvania Building at the
World's Fair grounds ut 7 o'clock
Wednesday night with a wheel
barrow, which he has trundled from
Pottsville, Pa., a distance of 800
miles.Guetling left Pottsville at
noon on July 8, and has pushed his
barrow over mountains and, as he
declares, some of the worst roads he
ever saw in his life. On the barrow
was a keg of beer made by a Potta
| ville firm. It is intact, that being
I one of the conditions under which
the race is made.
The time set to accomplish the
task was thirty-one days. Guetling
made it in twenty-eight. The best
time he made in any single day was
forty-two miles, which he did coming
through Ohio. He expended S4O
for food and lodging. He was
taken in charge by Secretary Ger
hart and given a bath and a bed.
Guetling savs the worst roads he en
countered were coming into Chica
go. He say ß he would not make the
trip again. His barrow and con
tents weighed 100 pounds.—Mt.

The second annual convention of
the Epworih League of Central
Pennsylvania Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church will be
held in Williamsport, Pa., Oct. 17,
17 and 19, 1893. This convention
will be (lie largest gathering of
Methodist young people that ever
assembled in Pennsylvania.
A Chance to See tlie Old Bell.
The people of Towanda and all
those along the line of the Lehigh
Valley may have an opportunity to
see the old Liberty Bell without
going to the World's Fair. This
famous old relic of Independence is
now on exhibition at the Pennsyl
vania building in the White Cit3 r , but
when the Fair closes must be taken
back to Independence Hall, Phila
delphia. The Pennsylvania board
of managers are looking over the
routes, and Mr. 11- A. Mercur of this
place, Treasurer of the board, in
forms us that there is a probability
that the bell will be brought back
over one of the Lake Shore roads,
and down over the Lehigh to Phila
delphia. If this route should be de
cided upon the bell will be on ex
hibition for a short time at least in
the rear of the Court at Towanda.
By all means let it come this way.
There are a great many people who
would be very glad to see this
famous old bell that cannot afford
togo to the Fair, and we believe if
all the papers along the line of the
Lehigh will take up the movement
it will come this way. Brothers of
the press give it a lift.—Towanda
Republican.
Yes, and why not continue the
monster right down over the W. &
N. B. It. R., to Laporte and give it
a breath of fresh and pure air and a
ride over the newest railroad in the
country and the oldest on paper.
With the old Liberty Bell and the
W. & N. B. in close quarters, ex
citement would be great. Let her
come this way.
Trouble in lite Democratic Camp.
What does the news from Wash
ington portend ? Achilles Cochran
sulking in his tent ; Democratic
leaders at war; threats of political
assassination ; charges of the basest
treachery against those who have
fed most heartily at Cleveland's of
ficial table ; frantic appeals to Re
publicans to save the nation—What
mean these ?
It means that the people made a
mistake last fall when they placed
the Democratic party in power
And it further means that they have
found it out. There is not one
good measure for the relief of pres
ent ills that does not depend for
more than one-half its votes on the
Republican members. The Repub
licans will not fail in doing their
duty, but it is a severo comment on
the people and a satire on Demo
cracy that the Republican party
must do the heavy work at this
time.
It is with the power of Congress
to help this country out of its finan
cial difficulties, and that light
speedily. The Republicans stand
ready to furnish more than half the
necessary votes. What will the
Democrats do ? Appaiently they
will talk until doomsday.
What wretched comforters!
We appeal to the Democrats to
iljop partisanship and get down to
business. The Republicans have
ilone so and are ready to vote at
any moment. Cannot the Demo
cratic victors afford to do the same ?
—lnquirer.
STEELTON, PA., Aug. 28, 1593.
There is no denying the fact that
the result of the stringency in the
money market is fast even here in
this live busy borough where mil
lions of dollars have been paid in
wages to workingmon employees of
of every description at the immense
steel plant during the past twenty
five years.
The depression in business caused
by the stringency in the money
market was keenly felt at the steel
works the past week, but the
managers of the immense affair, are
making efforts to keep their tired
and faithful employees at work
during the coming winter. The
close times however, lias compelled
the management of the plant to
make a general reduction of wages,
on and after Sept. 16. Such is the
result of democratic rule.
Hoke Smith the unsuspended
rebel, is still puncturing the wouuds
of the old union soldier with his
knife of suspension. Had he been
suspended thirty years ago by
strong hempen cord, it would have
been a blessing to this country.
But who is to blame for this ?
Why, the democratic party—they
placed him in the position he oc
cupies. So when tlieso suspensions
of pensions hit a democrat soldier
he should not kick for he voted for
it; that's where the laugh comes in,
for the friends of Grover and Hoke.
The road is becoming handsome
ly paved by the democrats for a
republican victory in 1896, and for
many years thereafter. This change
has wrought such a disaster to the
country that it will be remembered
by the people. p.

AN IMPKOVENKNT OVER THE
©El>.
The County Commissioners have re
ceived sample copies of the form of ballots
henceforth to be uwl in this state in con
formity with the act of Legislature of
June 10, 1893. The ballot is printed in
four columns, one of which is as follows :
For a Ntraight Ticket.
o

M. E. WILCOX. j
And so on through the entire list
of candidates who may be running
at the time.
INSTRUCTIONS TO VOTERS.
At the head of the ticket the fol
lowing instructions are printed:
A cross (x) marked in the square
at the right of the uamt, of each
candidate, inside the line inclosing
the column, indicates a vote for
each candidate thus marked.
If a cross (x) be marked withinl
the circle, it will be equivalent to'
u mark opposite every name, in the
column. Those who do not desire
to vote a straight ticket must not
mark a cross within the circle at the
head of the column.
There are four columns, one be
side the other, in the ticket. The
first one is headed "Republican,"
the second "Democratic," the third
"Prohibition," all similar to the one
reproduced above, and the fourth
solumn is for the accommodation of
voters who desire to vote for men in
regular nomination. Jt contains the
names of the offices to be filled, in
Ihe same order as in the other
solumns, with blanks where, in the
others, names of candidates are
printed, and at the top is the in
formation that "The voter may in
jejt in the column below the name
>f any person whose name is uol
printed on the ballot for whom, he
iesires to vote," 1 and the further
notice that "This column ia for the
use of voters desiring to vote for
candidates other than those whose
names appear printed on this ballot."
The circle at the top of the column
is exactly as big around as a dime,
md a mark in it votes the entire
jolumn. It will be seen that the
old system of groups has been
lone away with. All tho Republi
can candidate, no matter for what
offices, are printed one under the
other, and a mark in the circle car
ries the lot. If a voter wants to
But he does not need to pick out the
?roup he must cut, but he must put
% mark to the right of every name
he wants to yote for, no matter
where that name appears, and let
the circle severely alone.
This ballot is manifestly an im
provement on the style used last
year, and bids fair to not mislead
even the careless or illiterate voter.
"We want work. We can't stand
starvation. Do something for us."
This was the cry back in 1857. It
was likewise the cry in Now York
on Wednesday of last week. Oh,
we are back to the good old Demo
cratic days, when soup houses were
established in every town and city,
and skilled mechanics were glad to
got an} kind of work at any wages.
The scene in New York on Wednes
day was an object lesson that oould
only spring from Democratic suo
cess. It was pitiful in the extreme
that men should cry for work and
bread in the largest city in the coun
try at this close of the nineteenth
century. More shame to the men
and the party through whose falsity
this misery fell upon Americans.
A short time ago an order came
to the Mlllvllle Pa., post office drop
ping the name of a pensioner from
the roll who had been dead nearly
two years. In this instance the
Great Reaper got in his work before
Hoke Smith. It must irritate this
modern reformer who defiantly
ignores all former rulings of the
pension department to learn that he
may be beaten at his game of strik
ing down pensioners,

Newspaper publishers are some*
times charged with being persistent

charge do not give due considera

comparatively few such to look after.
