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. We present thu matter for tho
information of our readers, hence
we neither endorse nor repudiate
any of the statements. Wo do con
sider them worthy of an honest, cue
fill perusal.
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

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. '

visit to Middleburgh, he met instant
death. In tho forenoon while he
was in town, he bought some cloth
ing of Mr. (Jun.burger. He took
dinner at the Summit Housn and
from thereh rode with .John Romig
on a wagon loaded with rails. 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. The wagon
struck a stone and threw Weller
down behind the horses. The front
wheel of the wagon ran across his
throat nearly severing the he i 1 ;': mi
tho body. The hind wh. . i it,
across the face and breast. Death
was instantaneous. The deceased
was l.'i years of age and leaves a wife
and eight loving children. The
mangled remains were laid t rest
on Sat urd.iv.

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.
