A few rambling observations trooi the City of Brotherly Love iimyr interest the rcadcis of the Pos Philadelphia is pretty well knoVp) by the jieople of Snyder eouiiv and to gleam nnything new is noj an easy task, but where in terests are so varied and character so different there is ample opjor- tunity for' seeing something that will at least interest some of our readers. This city has its itcculiar- ities. It is a gre-.it Republican city, but that does not free it from the snares of .corruption and extrav agence' with public fluids.. Political jobs and public plunder are a men ace to universal good. A man who votes for the ruling faction of the dominant' party need not fear of k ing punislied for any violation of the law less than murder. This of eonrse is a deplorable state of af fairs and reform is certainly needed. Having come to this place for sjK-eial treatment for my right eye whoso vision last August was al most totally obstructed. The treat ment is iider the direction of Dr. Ia Webster Fox, a representative of Medico Chirurgical College, the Alma Mater of Dr. Herman of our town. Dr. Fox was a country Uy having sjient his youth about the hills of Hummclstown, Dauphin county and later was a student at Mil'lersville Normal School witl our legal and cultured friend At torney Weiser of Middlcburgh. It . i i i . uikcs country oovs to Him-cU in this world. Dr. Fox now stands at the head of his profession in the treatment ot the eye. I went v to thirty jKitieuts call at his office every day for advice and treatment for their eyes. The Doctor is not a politician, but he is an influential character among them and he has lecii invited to accompany United States Senators Quay and Penrose to Florda on their hunting trip. Another evidence of his political tact is the $120,000 appropriation to Medico Chirurgical College and hospital during the last session of the legislature when a great de mand was made for funds. The institution, however, showed by au thentic records that they cured lor thousands of charity patients and proved conclusively that they made the proper use of the funds given to them. In the treatment of the eye of the writer the services of Dr. G. G. Faught of North Broad street are also required for the pur post! of applying electricity to that memlier. He is a lnichelor and has a lucrative practice. I was agreeably surprised the other morning while eating my breakfast at the hotel to be intro duced to Colonel Charles Klcckner, formerly of New Berlin. He is a brother to the managers of the Kleckner House at New Berlin and is familiar with many people in Snyder county. Since the war J Col. Kleckner has resided in Phila delphia and is now running a livery stable. There are quite a number of Snyder cotiutians in thi city. Among them are D. Edward K rea mer, a clerk m the Custom House, who is niarriad to Kate Stetler ot Middlcburgh ; Boyd Blin ker, a Se linsgrove boy who is a druggist here resides at 2110 North M st; Mrs. J. Ward Diehl (nee Sadie Or wig of Middlcburgh) resides at :W27 Orkney street. Her husband is foreman of a Catholic printing house ; Mr. E. (J. Murray, former ly druggist nt Middlcburgh, resides at 2801! Stella Ave. He is running a drug store near his home; Win. Mark and Charles 1 Iaflley, former ly of Selinsgrove, are located here ; A. A. Voder of Globe Mills is a student at Medico Chi College ; Harry A. Bibighuiis, the genial salesman, resides tin Montgomery Ave. He is married to Miss Sallio Bibighuiis, formerly of Middle burg; Beni. Shields and wife for merly of Selinsgrove are residents here. Sunday we had the pleasure of visiting the Episeopalean hospital on Lehigh Ave. and Front Sts. Miss Clara Neotling of Mifllinburir is one of the Nurses at this institu tion. She received us kindly and escorted us through the entire hos pital. With these few rambling thoughts I must close. (. w. w. Don't Want It to Happen Again. An exchange tells the following A lady died and while the pall 1 (carers were covering her to her last resting place, by some mishap they stumbled and dropped the corpse. The txnicussinu brought the deceased back to life, and she lived six or seven years and died ' il . . i Hgaiu. un me way to the grave they Hissed over the same ground, and when the pallbearers reached the identical sjnit where the stumble had been made nt the previous sad service, the grict stricken husband stopped in front of his lamented wife and said : "Steady Istys, steadv." Must Eat all You Shoot. Hunters will do well to liear in mind that they art! not "jMt hunt ers," and that they cannot disjiosc of any surplus that they have. Therefore when you shoot all your family can consume ipiit. The game season oftcned, as heretofore stated, for all game except rabbits, elk and deer. As many persons Inltor under the mistaken impres sion that they in sell game to the consumers, it will Ik; well to dis abuse them of that notion. No game can be sold within the state and no game taken out ot the state under any pretext whatever. Bullets for a Preacher. When Rev. Gilliam, of the Chris tian Church, preached a sermon at Mintoiivillc, in which he affirmed there is no devil, the congregation took offense. When the preacher attempted to speak again he was ejected from the church, and about twenty pistol shots were fired after him. This proves the fact that the preacher was wrong for there were deviU in the crowd to fire the shots. i Excitement at Adamsburg- WhiloW. I. Keller, Clan nee Kline(M'ter and Harry Dnrse were out hunting rabbits hist Friday evening, their dogs were chasing something back of town which did not seem to be a rabbit, the hunters followed the dogs to the woods where the dogs had traced the an imal. As si Nin as the hunters came to the place where the dogs were liarking up the tree the hunters soon saw a large animal on a trtr and while the hunters were greatly excited and shaking the tree the an imal came down and the dogs jump ed on the animal and killed it, when Ix-hold they said it's a wild cat, and Mr. Klinepcter patted his dog on the head and said, "who says that Jack don't chase wild eats." The hunters felt gonl ou their vic tory and Klinepcter tookv the wild cat by the tail and the three started for Adamsburg, where they exhibit ed the animal in all the public places of town and while showing it in Klose Brothers' store and telline the big time they had in killing it, someone said, "I don't believe it is a wild cat, it looks like one of our town cats," nud others said, "it is Win. Klose's cat." "Oh mo, it is a wild cat," was the answer of tht hunters. At this moment Mertie Klone, daughter of Win. Klose, came in the store and looked at the animal and at once said, "v. hv this is our cat," and Mr. Klose said, " Vaw es is my olter kautei." The cat weighed over 10 pounds and measured ,'i feet from tip to tip and was valued at 10.00. Vou never saw such a set of disappointed huut ters. They had already figured on each man's share of the scalp premium. - - -- What They Will Do. The Ladies' Mite .Society of the Lutheran church of Middlcburgh do hereby respectfully inform the public that they have organize! themselves into a sewing circle, with Mrs. C. Stetler as siicrin tendent of that department. Any one desiring plain sewing done, will notify the superintendent, giving date, and members (no less than six or eight) of the society will come and sew from one to four P. M. for the small sum of one dollar. ()l eonrse it will lie of great advantage to the one engaging to have every thing ready, as much more can be accomplished. Notices for engage ments must be sent to Mrs. Stetler at least one day before, so that all may lie notified. We are now ready for dates.
