Local and Personal Events
Tersely Told.
Mrs. Mary A. Mason is again
able to enjoy out door exercise
Mr. Wm, Loeb last week was
granted an increase of pension
now receiving sl2 per month.
Court attendance was small this
week.
Preaching in the M. E. Church
next Sabbath at 3 p. m. by pastor.
Subject of sermon will be "Little
Things done, and Great Things
Won."
Rev. S. B. Bidlack will preach
in the Baptist Church at Eagles
Mere next Sunday evening. Sub
ject of sermon, "The First and
Last Biblical Sacrifice.
The advertisement of M. Brink
which is found elsewhere in these
columns is corrected each week.
Mrs. H. W. Osier of Bernice ac
companied her husband to this
place on Wednesday and spent sev
eral days in town.
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.

Those who use Dr. A. W. 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.
I can recommend them highly."

In Maine the state grange pays the
traveling expenses of one delegate to
the state grange meeting from each
subordinate or Pomona grange. 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,

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

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-
