His body was horribly mangled, his head being severed from his body. The ' funeral of the unfortunate young man was held at Iluglusville on Sunday. A special train was run from Sat- : terfield to Hughesville on Sunday 1 for the benefit of those wishing to attend the funeral of Mr. Herman, the unfortunate Brakeman.

Dear Sir:—l luive been much impressed by the enumeration of two hundred and fifty-tive (255) bills upon which Sullivan County's Rep resentative? failed to vote. After reading over the whole list carefully, I have .asked myself the question, was Sullivan County represented in the last State Legislature? Or are we any better otf than -we would have been had we sent no one to Harrisburg? I admit that his failure to vote on so many and important issues have puzzled me. The rmirdn show that he was absent from the Capital only one day; he >vas surely present then, lie was not detained at home because of sickness or other justifiable ex cuse. He was in Harrisburg. Then why did he not do that for which he was elected? If any of the bills were good, why in the name of all that is reasonable did he not support them? If bad, why did he not place Sullivan County upon record as be ing opposed to them? Can it be that he desired to dodge issues which demanded attention at his hand? Can it be that lie was in fluenced to neglect tie' duties lie swore to perform? Can it be that lie really did not understand what they were all about and was afraid togo on record either as favoring or op posing them? Whatever the reason, li< 4 cannot be excused. We want no dodger as legislator! We want no man, who under the easily detected disguise of Scouten Reform is present to vote for what his patron, Scouten, calls the most iniquitous piece of legis lation ever enacted, but is absent when 255 bills of importance are be ing legislated upon. What claim has lie for re-election? He stands condemned by the very man, who, like the weather vane, lias now turned and works for his re election. II is record condemns him. We want as representative a man with enough intelligence to form an opin ion and enough back-bone to assert that opinion. We want a RKPKK SENTATIVE! In A. L. Dyer we have such a man. A man of inteligence, courage, and business ability of the highest order. A man, who, if elected, will goto Harrisburg ready to assist in the conduct of the affairs of State, with the same judgement, integrity and ability which have enabled him to achieve success for himself. Albert Dyer's word is as good as his bond. His integrity unquestion ed, he stands the representative of that push and pluck which has en abled so many young men of Sulli van county to acheive success. Here's to the success of A. L. Dyer! One Who Knows Him. ESTELLA. v There was no school held in the primary department of the Kstella school last week owing to the illnew of the teacher, Mrs. Molyneux.

RESULT OF REPUBLICAN RULE Figure* From 'Official Sources Which Cannot Be Denied —The Corporation Taxes Help Every Township and Village In the State Under the Re publican System of Finances. Harrisburg, Oct. 14. —Here Is a state ment that is at once startling and striking. It comes from official sources: "There Is not a single county in Pennsylvania which does not get di rectly back from the state treasury more money than the state collects from all its citizens, excepting so far as some of them may bfe indirectly taxed as stockholders in banks, rail roads and other corporations. The largest excess repaid to the counties goes to the less wealthy ones having the smallest proportion of property subject to state tax In relation to their population." SOME REPUBLICAN PACTS. This Is a sample of what the Repub lican party has done and is doing for the pcoplp of Pennsylvania. It is only one re;ison why Judge Pennypacker should be elected and the Democrats defeated, because they left a state debt of $40,000,000 to be paid off by the other fellows. The following figures are taken from official records here fn Harrfsburg. They are given for the purpose of ex hibiting more clearly the fact that the people get back more than they pay Into the state treasury. How is it dons? The corporations pay the taxes. What the individual citizen pays into the state treasury is for liquor license, mercantile tax, tax on money at in terest, etc. The first column in the following ta ble represents the total amount paid Into the state treasury from each county from all sources, Including per sonal property tax, tax on municipal loans, collateral Inheritances, fees of public offices, writs, wills, deeds, etc.. mercantile, liquor, billiard room, brok ers, peddlers and other kind of taxes. The second column includes the money returned to each county from the state in the shape of salary of judges, appro priations for hospitals and other insti tutions and for schools. The figures are for the year 1900. SOME IMPRESSIVE FIGURES.

In other words, under the state tax laws enacted by the Re publican party in Pennsylvania, the corporations pay the entire expense of carrying on the state government and pay into the Btate treasury $7,481,484 besides, which is returned back to the counties.
