If it is true that Igionsof danger ous bacteria lurk in men's whiskers the Emperor William must have incurred great risks when he kissed King George three times on his cheek. But as the German are distinguished for their scientific knowledge perhaps the emperor has been made immune. Landlord Hassen of the Bernard "House has nothing lacking in his ability to establish an up-to-date liostlery in -every respect. Lastly he has installed a new bar fixture of fine design with an ice keg vault in the cellar which keeps the draught goods in good condition. John Hileinan Jr. of Dushore in stalled the new apparatus. It is not at all likely there will be any betting over the Mexican presidential election which takes place this month. There is no question as to re-election of Presi- Diaz, who evidently has a life job. This, among other things, spares the Mexicaus the sight of seeing men pay foolish election bets by go ing about with one side only of the lace shaved, or trundling other men through the streets in wheelbar rows. Aerial navigation is making rapid strides of late. The memor able flight of Paulhau in England, aud the no less remarkable voyage of Curtiss from Albany to New York indicate the great possibilities of this mode of travel. Probably the risks from weather and the difiiculties of overcoming the law of gravitatiou may prevent it from ever being commercial and popular. But for military, scientific and other purposes aerial navigation has, apparently, a great future before it. County Vote.

The man who makes two blades of grass grow where formerly there was but one is rightly said to be a public benefactor. So too, is the man who continually speaks well of his town, who points out its advan tages, and who breather spirit of hopefulness in all his utterances. Such a man helps the business of his town, gets other people to talk about it in the same strain, and he has the satisfaction of seeing the town grow as the result of his boost ing and that of others.

While walking over the moun tain in the wilds of Sullivan coun ty recently, Alferd Lovelace, an engineer in the Sweet's steel plant made a startling discovery. In one of the mountains many miles from any settlement, in one of the wild est spots in the state's center, Mr. Lovelace ran across a black stone in the side of a hill. Picking it u]> and thinking that the stone might possibly contain some min eral. Mi - . Lovelace took the stone home with him. When he reached the house he placed the stone on a shelf in the parlor. Next to the stone was a small battery. No sooner had the stone been placed 011 the shelf than the battery attached the stone to it. Amazed at what had taken place Mr. Lovelace returned to the spot where he had procured the lit tle black stone and gathered a small quantity of them. Returning home he sent samples to Colorado and New York. In less than a week Mr. Lovelace re ceived an answer from Colorado. A specialist had examined the stones and stated that they were highly impregnated with magnetic iron and seven other valuable min erals of which traces of gold were prominent. The owner of the land lives in Virginia and efforts are being taken by Mr. Lovelace to purchase the land. All kinds of quality printing at the News Item otHce.

Some time ago one of the largest nnd most liberal advertisers in a leading Eastern city had a successful sale of a stock of goods obtained through the failure of a competitor. The man who failed had a large capital invested in his business. He carried a line of goods above the average for com plateness and desirability. There seemed to be no m— , reason for his failure except one. His store was poorly .d advertised. In one of the advertisements of the firm which bought the stock, the statement was made: "The store was poorly advertised, so poorly, indeed, that few peo pie knew of the existence of so great a business house '•w _ anywhere east of Main street." fl«ntH^iyiTffrrr^fWT This transaction furnishes an object lesson that is (Mill llllllllMllb most conclusive.
