Mrs. John Lovelace who was dangerously ill last week is steadily improviug. Editor Newell, last week, in one of his editorials stated that if he knew how he would add dignity to the News Item. His kindness de serves generous recognition, but if his purpose was to elicit a return ing compliment from the News Item, he will be greviously disap pointed, as the already limited range of such a possibility has so greatly narrowed in the past week by his failure to obey the mandates of the law, we will pass the matter by without further comment. Explorer Peary is anxious to make another North Pole expedi tion and is looking for a capitalist who will back him to the ex tent of $250,000. In view of the recent cold snap some people think the less direct communication there is with the Pole the better. The Review still insists that the low prices prevailing at the News Item office makes it impossible for him to say anything that would not make us appear ridiculous. Will business men please read our adver tisements in the Review, and note our "ridiculous low prices." We believe it pays to advertise, even in the Review, and feel very grateful for the space gratuitously furnished us. Mr. Newell is an old and ex perienced newspaper man, and his judgment ought to be of good value. But he has yet to learn that old methods, old styles and old war prices can never secure and retain customers in this advancing age. But perhaps he is in his dotage, and has a hobby. Ex-Associate Judge, John S. Wright of Forksville, died at his home at that place on Wednesday Feb. 25, of pneumonia. Beside filling the position of Associate Judge, Mr. Wright served one term as post master at Forksville, and at different times was elected to various Boro offices which he held with credit to himself. He was a man who commanded the re spect and esteem of all who knew him, and his death will be mourn ed by a large circle of friends. He was 78 years of age. The readers of the Review this week will most likely be served with a spicy article bordering on a state of nervous collapse. The editor was arrested last week by officer Ira Cott and arraigned before the village mag istrate to answer a charge of neglect in cleaning his side walk of snow. He was nicely reprimanded by the magistrate and fined $2.00* This being a big sum to ask of an editor, the fine was not paid, we are inform ed, and a lawsuit is now under way which promises well to exhibit no small amount of unevenness in tem per. On consideration of one dollar offered by a liberal citizen, Editor Scouten of the Herald took the job of freeing the said sidewalk of snow and at once went to work. The Review and Herald are now strictly "in it"and the battle will be fought principally with type. Later; —Before going to press the news reached ua that Mr. Newell had succeeded in raising the re quired funds and paid his fine. February term of Court conven ed 011 Monday at 2 p. m. with Hon. E.

Chase's Nerve Pills as a nerve and general tonic—as a rebuilder—as a medicine to give renewed strength—energy and vigor r"»ver fail to sound their prasie to others. Morras Connell of No. 042, 2nd St. Williamsport, Pa., says:—" I had been feeling a little run down and nervouqf foi a long time. I did not rest very well and lacked my usual vigor and energy. I got some of Dr. A. W. Chase's Nerve Pills and used them with good results. They acted as a good tonic and after using them I rested better and felt better in every way.

His other expenses are borne by the grange ■ending him. Good idea! More inquiries concerning grange or ganization have come to us in the last month than in any three preceding ones. The necessity and advantage of organization can no longer be ignored, •ays Farm and Fireside. ' National' Master Jones In his annual address took a strong stand for weekly meetings of the grange on the ground that we need all the chance for educa tion we can have. The Uterary work should be strengthened. Bon. N. J. Bachelder, lecturer of the national grange, is now governor of the state of New Hampshire. May he make as good a governor as he has lec turer. _____________ Make your grange meetings interest ing, helpful and profitable and the question of attendance will take oare * - MCARTHUR, IDAHO, Fe!b. 4, 1903. MR, SETH. SHOEMAKER, Escella, Pa. Dear Uncle:—l have been, trying to get around to drop you a few lines for a long time, and as I am not doing much just at the present time will en deavor to do so. Well, how is the world using you anyway? How are all the friends back there? For myself and I. B. we can't complain, although I would sooner have a little less snow. It is only about five feet now, and still snowing. I am batching it at present; of course you know all about that so I need not take the trouble to tell you how that goes. In regard to the country: Penn'a. is far ahead; for when the timber is gone here, the people will go with it. It is a good place to raise goats. What little agricultural ground there is, is in the marshes, the rest of the level ground is clear sand. I think likely there is plenty of mineral in the mountains. If there is not, there is certainly a lot of good fcr nothing country here. There is plenty of game back in the mountains. The caribon are real plentiful. There isn't any sheep or goats right around here. I shot at a cougar the other day. I knocked a wad of hair out of him, but did not get him. The white tail deer are thick all over here. Early in the fall they all leave for the winter We killed jour in November; I shot three of those we got. The black tail deer will come down when the snow softens up in the mountains. I have got a timber claim. It is on a creek coming out of the mountain. It is mostly telegraph poles. Most every stick of timber is taken here; way back in the mountains as far as there is any timber. They are mostly taken under the homestead law. Some of the homesteaders will have to shovel away the snow before they can putin their crops. Well, hoping this may find you en joying yourself, I will close. From four nephew, CARL G. SHOEMAKER.

Sciatic Trouble From Sprain of Back. Dizzy, Dull, Nervous* Constipated. Dr. Miles' Nervine Com pletely Cured Me. A frequent complication of rheumatism tltd sciatica i* constipation. The use of Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills in conjunction with Restorative Nervine makes an ideal treatment for such cases. The Nerve and Liver Pills, by their tonic influence upon the nerves of th« stomach, liver and bowels, cause them to act naturally. Thus the system is readily cleansed of the impurities which cause the trouble and the nourishing and soothing effect of Nervine is allowed to do its wonderful work of restoration without hindrance from the complication. "About ten months ago I sprained my back. This ran into sciatic trouble from which I have suffered more or less ever since. This was complicated by chronic indigestion. I had sick headache every day with a dizcy, dull feeling, also quite a little confusion. Was extremely nervous and suffered much from constipation. 1 was influenced to try Dr. Miles'. Remedies and decided to give them a trial. I procured a bottle of the Re storative Nervine and a boa of the Nerve and Liver Fills. I used them as per direc tions and received much relief. I continued the Nervine until I had used several bottles of the same and I am glad to state that it has cored me completely and permanently. I now enjoy good health, relisn my meals and can eat any kind of food without fear. I take pleasure in recommending Dr. Miles' Remedies to the public."— REV. A. B. Mow- Uts, Taneytown, Md.
