Sorm Startling Accusations.
TIih "Pennsylvania. Methodist,"
the ollicial organ of the Central
Pennsylvania XI. E, conference, pub
lished the following startling sugges
tions and accusations. Rev. Dr. S.
C. Swallow, is tho editor of the
'Me!.lidiBt."
Tun article or editorial is Leaded,
"Au Investigation That Would Iu
voHtigato'' uud is ns follows:
"If the state olliciuls aro in earn
est, and really desire that the tax
payers shall know what has been,
and is being d one with their mouey
hero is a plan :
'A resident of Ilurrisburg, who is
responsible for what ho says will
furnish evidence horeiuafter describ
ed, on the conditions which follow :
Let the legislature pass an act con
stituting a court of inquiry thus:
It shall consist of twenty five busi
ness men or fanners living near
enough to the capital , to render
traveling 'expenses a minimum
amount, other, conditions being
complied with. They shall bo uieu
over fifty years of age, who have
never held a state office and are not
known aspirants for official position
Five shall bo appointed by tho may
or of Philadelphia, two each by the
mayors of York, Heading, Lancas
ter and Williuuisport, and oue each
by the mayor or chief burgess of
Lebauon, Pottsville, Carlisle, Cham
bersburg, Lewistown, Suubury,
Shamoki i, Lewisburg, Milton, Dan
ville, Uloomsburg and Huntingdon.
"They shall (-online their work to
thirty working days, bo ullowed live
dollars a day for their t i mo when on
duty, and not to exceed four dollars
n day us per bill rendered for all
other expenses including board and
travel. Those expenses shall be paid
by the state unless otherwise provided.
"The court shall have access to all
books, pap"rs and accounts, and be
empowered to send for persons and
papers.
"The Ilarrisburg citizen above re
ferred to, proposes to secure an af
firmative verdict by at least a two
thirds vote of tho courts in tho fol
lowing indictment, or failing to do
so, .v ill pay all the expenses other
wise to bo paid by the state, and
will give acceptable bonds iu the
sum of $'Jti,0Ui to Bccuro such pay
ment. "He proposes to furnish evidence
to prove :
"1. Tho persons have been paid
inotioy out of the stato treasury who
rendered no service to the state
therefor, and in some cases made no
pretense of service except as poli
ticians serving their party.
"2. That for sorvices rendered
tho stale, persons have been asked
to sigu receipts for two, three and
even four times as much money as
they actually received.
That new metal furnishings
have been paid for by the Btate, but
old ones in use by the state carried
iutothestate house cellar, cleaned
and returned were made to person
ate the now ones paid for.
"1. That articles have been fur
Dished for the soldiers orpbans's
schools that cost the state eight fold
more than reliable bidders were will
ing to furnish the samo article for.
"5. That in tho purchase of ma
terial and labor, for making addi
tions, repairs and furnishing the
capitol buildings, and cellars and
grounds, also for the executive man
sion and now for Grace church, the
state has lost many thousands of
dollars as the result of an unfair
system of competitive bidding. In
other words, that the cost to the
state has been two, three, four, and
as high as eight times in some in
stances as much as it should have
been, and that not all of this money
went to the persons furnishing the
materials and labor." At this point
the nun accusation declares that a
certain public official has "guilty
knowledge of this excessive cost."
"6. That the act of 18!5 by which
the governor, auditor general, and
Btate treasurer constitute the board
of commissioners of public grounds
and buildings, having control of re
pairs, alterations and improvements,
and expenses incurred, including
furnishing and refurnishing, is cor
rupting in its tendencies, pernicious
in its results, and has already cost
the state at least one hundred thou
sand dollars more than the sameim
provements, etc., etc., should have
cost under some other system of
management.
"7. That the remonstrances which
two years ago, poured into the gov
ernor's haads from the patriotic or
dcrs of the state, against the appoint
ment of the present incumbent of
the office created by the above act
of superintendent of public ground
and buildincs were well founded as
the sequel proves.
"8. That the burning of the capi
tol by which the state lost over one
million dollars worth of valuable
property, if at all occidental was
also iu a sense incidental. That the
possibilities and even probabilities
of a lire had been for some time dis
cussed by employes of the state, and
that it was a logical sequeuceof hav
iug exhausted excuses for expend
ing public mouey. Aud further that
there is convincing evidence of aim
inal carelessness and neglect on the
part of the state house custodians
and, presumptive evidence of crimi
nal intent .
"That valuable furniture and fur
nishiugs bought for the state aud
are now in use in private homes with
out any commentation for the same
having some to the state.
The citizen who proposes to fur
irish the testimony named, ou the
conditions named, will suffer the
severest penalties of the law rather
than summon his witnesses before
any committee or court of inquiry,
which is the creature of a body
whose vote is controlled by oue man,
and he au intensely interested party.
."The name of the citizen of Har
ris burg, above referred to, will be
furnished the governor, together
with the boud of indemnity, imme
diately on his signing the bill creat
ing the court of iuquiry at the office
of the "Pennsylvania Xlothodist."
"We herewith respoctfully chal
louge the execution of tho threat of
certain politicians to wreck the
"Pennsylvania Methodist,' and to
destroy through the partisan press
the reputation of its editor, if he
permitted the use of his columns for
publishing the foregoing statement."
DONATION.
Ou tho evening of Feb. 1SU7,
tho dear good people of Paxtouvillo
gave us a lino donation. They came
with wagons to the parsonage and
began to carry in Hour, meat, uppkw,
potatoes, groceries aud horso feed to
the amouut of some $18., besides
some cash. After spending a few
hours pleasantly together all de
parted to their homes. Xlay tho
good Lord richly bless the kind
doners and may thu good work go
on all over the charge. Many thanks,
J. H. Heutz.

those who are constantly on their feet.
Often they ere unable to perform their

When the first
symptoms present
themselves, such as
backache, pains in
groins, head,
ache, dizziness,
fuintnesa,

feet,
blues,
etc.,
they
should at once
write Mrs.
Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass., stating symptoms; she
-vill tell them exactly what to do, and
in tho meantime they will find prompt
relief in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, which can be obtained
from any druggist.
"My Deak Mrs. Pixkham : I am so
grateful to you for whut your Com
pound has done for me. For four years
I suffered such pains from ovarian
trouble, which caused dreadful weak
ness of the limbs, tenderness and burn
ing pain in the groins, pain when
standing or walking, and increased
pain during menstruation, headache
and leucorrhuea. I weighed only 02
pounds, and was advised to use your
Vegetable Compound, which I did. I
felt the benefit before I had taken all
of one bottle. I continued using it,
and it has entirely cured me. I have
not been troubled with leucorrhira for
months, and now I weigh 115 pounds."
