The Central Pennsylvania Confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, in session at Harrisburg the J
past week, returned to this place
Rev. Stuarf 11. Engler, as also Rev.
A. S. Williams to Picture Rocks and
Rev. S. 15. Hidlack to Clarkstown.
Rev. Henry M. Ash appointed to
Muncy Valley.
Thus far four candidates have an- !
nounced themselves for the Demo- !
cratic nomination for President |
Judge of this district. Sullivan j
County represents the names of Atty. i
10. J.JMullen, John C*Scouten,while j
Wyoming County has named James p
W. Piatt and Win. E. Little both of
Tunkhannock.
At present there is much specu- i
lation relative to the location of:
flic proposed sanitarium to be erect
ed in this section of the State by
a. company of Philadelphia doctors.
Dr. B. K. Gamble, of Wheelerville,
has attracted their attention to the | <
advantages of locating at Wheeler- i
ville, but it is learned that some]
conditions arose at that point not :
agreeable to the syndicate, and
now, other localities are being in
vestigated with the view of locat
ing where best suited. Nordmont
was recently visited by one of the
members for the purpose of ascer
taining the advantages at that
place for establishing a sanitarium. I
The syndicate desires to locate ou j
the mountain, high and dry, where
the primitive forests till the air
with health-giving qualities.
If Laporte would but break away '
from its ancient habit of making a
pasture field of the village, it is
most certain that this company of
doctors could easily be induced to
bring their institution to Laporte.
Eminent physicians who have been
at this place speak of it as a mar
velously healthful location. No
where in the State could a location
I
be found more suitable for a sani-'
tariuni than at Laporte. On every j
hand nature here throws out her
inducements to the health seeking
throngs constantly pouring out of
the large cities. Here nature opens
wide and welcome arms, insuring
health and vigor regardless of the
neglects of some'if the inhabitants]
which causes some undesirable
features not conducive to health or
pteasantto refined tasts.

A WORD TO LECTURERS.
Tk«r Should Make Careful Prepara
tion of Their Topics.
That so many grange meetfugs aro
dull and featureless la due iu too
m&xif cases to the tu :t that the lec
turer makes no future preparation for
the meeting, says Overseer Fuller of
New York. There is great need for
special preparation on the part of the
lecturer, that no time be wasted anil
every moment filled with something
which will not only entertain, but set
the members thinking. The lawyer
who goes into court knows that in or
der to win his case he must thorough
ly prepare himself beforehand, for he
fully appreciates tiie fact that he has
to dual with uien whose brains are
every whit as keen us his own. The
teacher who goes Into a class room of
bright boys and girls knows If he
would keep the Interest and attention
of those schools he must be thorough
ly prepared to present his subject at
every point. The same Is true of the
lecturer who would keep up the Inter
est in the grange meetings.
On the subject of the lecturer's work
Mrs. T. D. Saunders, lecturer of the
Michigan state grange, says:"The lec
ture work will be the Index of progress.
Select questions for discussion and pre
pare papers upon the most vital and
practical questions of the day, giving
special attention to those pertaining to
the farm, home and school. In as
signing work to the members see to It
that natural' ability is encouraged ami
developed. If other work crowds upon
your time, protest against it; insist
upon having the lecture hour. All
members rising to speak during the
lecture hour shall first address the
j worthy master and be recognized by
him In return to properly have the
floor to speak. The time for the lec
ture hour enters into the grange order
of business under the call of "sugges
tions for the good of the Order "
National Uraage Legtalatlve Com
mittee.
The legislative committee of the na
tional grange Is concentrating its
work upon six matters now before con
gress—viz, national aid to road build
ing, a pure food bill, additional power
to the Interstate commerce commis
sion, establishment of tlie parcels post
and the consolidation of the bureau of
forestry with the department of agri
culture. The grange expects to win
out In the efforts indicated above, says
the National Stockman, by keepiug
everlasting, unswervingly, at it. just as
it did in elevating the department of
agriculture to a cabinet position, the
establishment of a rural free mail de
livery, the oleomargarine law and the
defeat of the ship subsidy scheme.
The Farnit-r* Did It.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
his seventh annual report says:"ln
products other than agricultural dur
ing the past fourteen years the balance
of trade wus adverse to this country to
the extent of sßt£,ooo.ooo. Otjr farm
ers not only canceled this immense ob
ligation, but placed .£'UMU,OOO,OOO to
the credit of the nation when the
books of International exchange were
balanced."
