We issue with this week's Post a supplement on the Silver question. It has been prepared by the Reform club of the S Mind Currency Com mittee iu New York. The Monetary question is a new one and it should bo thoroughly discussed und stud ied.

SlMMKIt Mll.I.lM'.UY Ol l-NlNli. Miss Libbio Duukelberger will have her annual Summer opening on Thurs day, Friday and Saturday, May 1(5, 17 and lth. She will have from 75 to 100 trimmed hats ou exhibition. A special effort will bo made to have a full supply of hats to suit persons of all ages and the most refiued tastes. A spociaal iuvitation is extended to the ladies from all parts of the coun ty to visit this grand Millinery dis play. An act to "encourage the use of wide tires upon wagons," now pend ing in the legislature is likely to pass. Should it become a law all persons using ouly draft wagons ou tho public highways with tires not less than four inches iu width for haul ing loads not less than two thous and pounds weight, shall receive a rebate of one-fourth on their road tax. It is believed the rebate on taxes provided in this measure will be more than made in benefits which will aocrue to the roads by the use of wide tired wagons. Sign tSe Fre Bridge Bill. To Govkbnok Hastixhs: in view or the fact that the Free bridge bill has passed both branches of tho Legislature it becomes your duty to pass judgment upon the merits of this bill Not a single bill has passed the legislature this hi a son that will be of any practical value to the rural districts of the state. Wheu bridgos must bo built across streams as widens theSus quchanuA and the Juniata the bene tits are general in their character mid it is not fair that the expense should be borne by one or two conn tics. Wheu we urge upon you to sign this bill to make it a law, we do it with the assurance- that it will meet with the popular and hearty approval of every taxpayer in tho county, yea of every rural district iu the Htate. The expense to the state can bo no valid excuse to veto the bill since this is the only benefit that can ac crue to the rural districts by this year's legislation, while the cities have numerous ways in which they will profit at tho expanse of the state. Snyder county with its com missioners and every taxpayer re spectfully petition you to sign the Free Bridge Bill HI i The New firidgo t Port Trevorton. The people in the vicinity of Poi t Treverton, Suydor county and of Herndon Northumberland county have petitioned the commissioners of theic respective counties to build a bridge across the Susquehanna I Kier 'connecting tje two places mentioueu '"J'.v", k.raDgtui. had been made to have a joint meet ing on Saturday in Middleburgh, but tho commissioners of Northum berland failed to materialize. As yet we have heard but little favor able comment concerning the pro posed bridge if the c oiiiiti es mm4 pay for tho bridge. Under tho Focht bill that has just become a law each county would be required to pay for the bridge in proportion to its population. Snyder county has Hi.C.M people ; Northumberland county has 74,5!)S inhabitants, The bridge would probably cost 70,000 and Snyder county would have to pay nearly of this amount. A bill has just passed both houses requiring tho Stale to build all bridges across public streams. It is now in tho hands of the Governor. If the governor signs the bill the state will bo required to pay for tho bridge. This wo believe is the only hope of getting a bridge at Port Treverton. Every tax payer should write to tho Governor and ask him to sign the bill. ' Simplified Elocution.

At a hill near Red Rank school House. Mr. Romig asked Air. Weller to drive while Romig attended the brake. While descending the hill, the horses gained quite a speed.

It is related that, a certain man was recently very sad because wife had gone on a visit, which she would not shorten in spile of hi appeals to come home. Hit finally hit upon a plan o induce her to re turn. Ho sent her a copy of each of the local p ipers wit i i one item clipped out, and when she wrote to lind out wh it it was clipped from the papers he refused to tell her. Tho scheme worked admirably. In less than a week she was home to lind out whit it was that had been going on that her husband did not want her to know about. On Monday afternoon thu remains of Joseph Mclloch belter known as Joseph Miller were laid to their final resting place. Ho had been sick for a month or two suffering with dropsy and died ou Suuday. He lie was a charge of Eraukliu town ship and was woll cared for by Charles Erb and wife. Ho lived iu this community for a great many years, but he was not born here. He was the offspring of wealthy parents and for some reason became an outcast from the family. The deceased was a great reader and during his health visited this oflice every week to get reading matter. T
