Last Saturday he went down to William sport to be examined by Dr. Nutt, who called Ix's complaint—catarrh of the stomach and said he could re lieve him some at least. Charley's complexion is bad and he has suffer ed much. Our subscription list is growing so fust, that we are obliged to order another quire of paper added to our bundle. We have been cutting our exchanges for the past two weeks. We liope to have sufficient togo around next issue. This will make two quires added in the past three weeks. Encouraging ia'nt it? Chas. Landon of Laporte, was ( laid up a couple of days last week. , He let a heavy hardwood plank fall j on his foot. It knocked the sand , out of Charley. He said he never , fainted in his life and did'nt know ( where this disease affected a person. ] but.he had a darned queer feeling in , his stomach shortly after the board ] tumbled. Mr. Peter May, one of the pro prietors of the Laporte Hotel, wbc hurt his eye recently, an account of which was given in the REPUBLICAN, has suffered much pain from the accident, but we are given to under stand that I*r. Koser of Williamsport j who is in attendance, has every reason to believe that he can ellect a partial cure of his sight. Messrs. John I'urcell and Martin Gallagher, who are excavating the trench for the courthouse sewerage, fired several blasts in Maple Park last week. They did it with neat ness aud dispatch. No accident re sulting from the shots. Mr. I'urcell is an old hand at the business and thoroughly understands the required amount of the explosive to do the work. Fr. Enright is arranging to chance I off his horse. He contemplates sell-! ,| ing four hundred tickets at one dol , lar each and we are told that he has about disposed of this number, when ; the drawing will take place. Some !of the boys who have taken stock are getting anxious. Lay low fel lows, Frank (iallagher says some one of the Laporte boys is going to draw it and it may be you. The horse in question is valuable, worth perhaps more money than any piece of horse flesh in the county. It has trotted a mile in 2:'«JG. It will be a ' splendid gift to some person. OUR CANDIDATE for CONGRESS. MONROE 11. KULP. Monroe 11. Kulp, the subject of our sketch nod the candidate of the Republic-tin party for congress from the seventeenth congressional dis trict, is one of the best known young men in Central Pennsylvania and one eminently qualified to fill the high position to which he aspires. While not a native of Northum berland county he has been a resi dent of Shamokin for the past thirty years during which time he has be come perfectly acquainted with the varied interests of the coal regions and thoroughly conversant with thier requirements. Mr. Kulp is the oldest son of the late Darlington R. Kulp, and whs born in Barto, Berks county, Oct. 23,1857. When about seven years of age his parents moved to Shamo kin where for the next ten years he was engaged about the miues, work ing in nearly every branch of the coal industry, attending at irregular intervals the public schools of the borough where he received a common school education. At the age of seventeen he entered the store of his father and remained there until the firm of Kulp Mc- Williatns was formed in 1878 when he entered their employ and began to learn the lumber business in which lie has siuce became so suc cessful. Having a desire to obtain a more liberal education he entered the State Normal school, at Lebanon, O. in 1879, where fur two years he pur sued such studies as would fit him for an active business life, and in 1881 he completed his school life at Eastman college, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Here he made a decidedly cred itable record, graduating from the business course of that famous in stitution in the shortest time of any student for more than a year. His special fitness for the work of an ac countant was here shown, and his work throughout the course was worthy of special mention. Oh his return from Poughkeepsie he assumed charge of the books of the firm of Kulp, Mi-Williams it Co., and for the next four years he filled that position in a most satisfactory manner soon becoming posted in every detail of their extensive busi ness so that he hail every branch at his finger's end. c In 1880 the firm was disolved, • Darlington 11. Kulp assuming the J entire lumber business formerly car- t ried on by the firm and our candi- < date assisted in its management uutil the illness of his father in 1892 ' when lie assumed entire charge of all ' the affairs of the estate, consisting < of timber operations in nine counties 1 in this state and West Virginia, i covering an acreage of twenty thous- i and apres of land, employing in sea- t son over three hundred men and one t hundred and fifty head of stock, and I doing a business aggregating several i hundred thousand dollars annually, i lie has thus advanced from the lowest step on the ladder, that of the < laborer, to the highest round that of i the manager, and while his progress s was rapid, it was the result of strict ' attention to business and the exer- < cise of excellent judgment, a kindly I disposition toward all whom he came i in contact with, and an untiring per severance. He stands to-daj' among the employers and employed alike, i one of the most popular and best thought men in the business. Mr. Kulp has always been an en thusiastic Republican and, although never before seeking liis own ad vancement, he is known as an active earnest and liberal worker and one who left "nothing undone which would benefit his party, liis name had frequently been mentioned in connection with local and county offices but he always declined politi cal preferment until 1890 at the rc ! quest of many friends he was a can didate for the legislature, with an > almost absolute certainty of success. Other complications arising in the j 'i convention, be withdrew from the field for the sake of harmony, and some of the strongest support he re-1 > ceived before the recent nomination I ■; was voluntarily given him for this j 1 action. The great financial depression and k business stagnation which pervades every section of this great land, much of which is due to the almost criminal delay of congress in taking definite action on the vital questions of the day, has caused the people to think over the situation as they have probably never done before. The crying demand of the times is lor a congress composed of men whoso interests are identical with those of their constituents instead of being largely maile up of professional men who know next to nothing of their, wants, speculators whoscrve the coun try for a consideration and whose per sonal advancement weighs more than the prosperity of the American nation, and politicians whose posi tion in the party must bo sustained at all hazards. The logical solution of the ques tion is the election of Monroe 11. Kulp, a man whose business ability has been tested under the most try ing circumstances and found suf ficient; a man whoso friendship anil loyality is well known among those from whom he now solicits support and a man with whom the interests of the citizens of our district and those of the state can be safely en trusted and we believe that the voters will honor a worthy man and further their best interests by giving him their suffrage and their earnest sup port. Some More •'Dam" Foolishness by Hie Democratic Parly. We have a practical illustration of the ridiculous features of the new tariff bill right here at home. On Tuesday Deputy Internal Revenue Collector McCollum, of Montrose, came to Tunkhannock for the pur pose of hunting out the playing cards in tho hands of the dealers in order to collect two cents revenue on each and every pack,and he must go through his district for this pur pose. Just think of it! There may possibly be 500 packs of cards for sale in this county, (but we think 200 packs would be a very large figure,) which would pay the govern ment $lO, and the government will have to pay the collector at least five times that amount for making the collections. This is one of the eco nomical features of a Democratic tariff. The people generally would not complain if the government placed a tariff of SI.OO on every pack of playing cards offered for sale, but when the law reads that such re venue shall be collected at once on each and every pack of such cards in the dealers' hands, at the time the law goes into effect, it is simply ridiculous, and goes a long way to ward proving to the people that the Democratic party is eutirely too week in the upper story to have charge of the affairs of this great uation.—Tunkhannock Republican. The editor and wife attended the i band concert given by the famous 1 Inne9 band of New York city, at Williamsport on Friday last. It was grand. The noted performance, •'War nnd Peace" concluded the evening's entertainment, a chorus of 200 vocalists were . ','ated in the back ground of the band stand, among 1 the list was Mrs. Isabelle Stanley of La porte. At the beginning of the play, war like songs were in order, and after "Glory, Glory, Ilallujah" had rung ( out, the sound of drums and fifes were heard in the distance. They ' marched to the band stand and were followed by the G. A. It's. Here the latter rested on their arms while the 200 quartette assisted by the band sang the "Soldiers' Farewell," after which the drums started up and the soldiers marched onto battle. A few minutes later and in the darkness the battle takes place, two thousand shots were fired in rapid succession and all is excitement. The dischaige of canon shook the earth) after the fight the boys came back to the etand playing and sing ing "Johnny Come Marching Home Again," "Tramp Tramp, etc. Dur ing the fight the Innes band played nn andante, including all the old war songs. "America," sang by the chorus completed this part of the program. It was instructive and entertaining as wo announced in our paper last week. Our band boys of the county should have been there by all means. They would never have regretted the trip. Hotel Kennedy of Laporte, will give a closing ball on Wednesday evening Sept. 12, '94 to which every body is cordially invited. General Manager, John E.
