An expensive thing fur the coun
ty, It costs the county the .stun of
9150.00 n year for coal to heat the
county jail.
Editor Lesher's virulence is never
raised unless vou touch a Boot where
trutli hurts.
That explains the caus-
tie reuiarki
in the last issue.
In this week's issue we beginsev
eral Dew advertisometitsof merchants
at Sunbury and Lcwistown. These
merchants arc progressive, n -t . -date
business men and lu as ihey ad
vertisc. It pays to advertise and
these men know it. N business
man can make rapid strides in lmi
ness without the libel al use of Print
ers' Ink.
A qliery ofteu passed around i.
why don't the county commissioners
see that the court house is provided
with fireproof vaults? In ease ol
tire many valuable papers and books
ot record involving expense ten
times greater than good vaults, to
say nothing of the trouble and an
noyance it would give to many whose
affairs should become involved.
Threshing Machine Factory.
During the past week there lias
been in Middleburg the inventor o)
a very successful separator and
threshing machine. He is hunting
a place to locate a factor). He has
made a proposition to locate a plant
in Middleburg for the manufacture
ot these machines. The separator is
one that lias been tried in Snyder
and Union counties, and hence it is
known that the separator isall right.
It seems that all the propositions
made to the people of this place are
those requiring a great deal of
money, but it seems also to be a
settled fact that Middleburg has not
reached that stage of progress when
she can expect any very good offers.
The concerns that have money will
take sonic place whcreVailroad facil
ities arc better and rales are sure
to be lower, t uc thing is consider
ed necessary by all of our business
men and citizens and that is that
what we most need now is an indus
try to employ men. We have pro
vided an industry to employ girls,
Uvs and young men, and now it is
necessary for the proper develop
ment ot the town to secure the em
ployment ot men and heads of fami
lies", not only those who are here,
but others that will be brought here.
Now a- to the proposition. The
inventor thinks it is ih Rsary o
have a capital of $25,000 to start
the plant. The inventor agrees to
put into it the sum ol $5,000
while the people of this place shall
raise $20,000 not as a bonus, but as
stock in the concern. There is an
other concern manufacturingthis se
parator and with a capital of $25,-1
000 doubled their money III six
years. The net gain in each of the
six years as taken from the books ot
that company while the inventor
was superintendent, are as follows
Net gains, 1 887,
Net gains, 1888,
Net gains, 1889,
Net gains, 1890,
Net gains, 1891,
Net gains, 1892,
$7990.99
:;s2(i.:s
4242.27
2002.97
48:57.18
5258.02
Total gains, C.yrs., $28, 158.41
The inventor does not say that he
i-an duplicate these figures, he will
not guarantee that. 1 La says that he
might Ih' able to Bake more and
again the profits might be less. The
great difference in the profits of
1887 and 1888 is due to the fact
that at the end of 1 887 they Counted
as got si some notes that were found
in .1888 to be no good and that ac
ooonta for the difference In the net
gains for these two years. To manu
facture the machines necessary, it
w'll require the employment of 40
MB at wages ranging from $1.25
to $2.75 jer day. Here is a pro
position for investors, and if the in
tegrity of the man at the head of the
projyosed concern is verified, as we
believe it will be, the proposition
should not be turned down without
careful consideration.
Report That President May Bo
Asked to Declare Martial Law.
SENATOR DEBOE'S INTIMATION.
While lie Doe .Not Antlctpitto m Iieo
Uratlon or Martini Law, He GlTen
tho IniDreiwIou That Federal Aid
Can Ilo Secured It Jviccssurjr.
Frankfort, Ky Nov. 2S. Senator
Pelue left for Washington last night,
Htiil after his departure a story eman
ating from Republican circles was put
abroad that in the event that Goebel
is given a certificate of election next
Saturday by the throwing out of the
vote of Jefferson, Knox and Johnson
counties, Senator Deboe. Senator I.ind
sey, Governor Hradley, General Taylor
and other Republican leaders will unite
In an appeal to President McKlnley to
declare martial law in Kentucky,
recognizing Taylor aa governor and
Supporting his administration. Sen
ator Jleboe stated to a press reporter
that he felt confident no emergency
would rrlse requiring the assistance
of the federal authorities, but Inti
mated that he had assurances that fed
eral aid could be had if It became
necessary.
There was no change in the situation
here yesterday on either side. The ex
pected move of the Goebel leaders to
take the eubernatinrial controversy
Into the courts prior to its handling by
the state election board has not ma
terialized so far. nnd many believe it
has been abondoned. The story from
Louisville that Jefferson and Elliott
county returns had been mysteriously
lost or tampered with Is not credited
here, as, should this occur, duplicate
certificates could be easily obtained
and the theft of them would not nf
fect the resul. The hotels of the city
are slowly filling up with visiting Re
publicans and Democrats from many
parts of the state.
The report that Warden Millard, tin
ner the direction of Goebel leaders, is
arming convicts and preparing to take
the Goebel side In the event of Hradley
calling out troops on Saturday Is ab
solutely unfounded. It is probable the
sitting of the state election board will
extend over several days, and it is
stated that the Democratic commis
sioners will refuse to begin canvnssing
the returns In the event of Bradley
placing a military guard over them.
ItocriiltH tot the BO0F Army.
New York, Nov. 28. The Evening
Post says: Enlistments for the Doer
army, it was learned today, are mak'
lng some progress in this city, though
more men are volunteering In Phila
delphia and other places. The re
cruits are found chiefly among the
Irish-Americans, although the Ger
mans and men of other nationalities
are also volunteering to fight under
the Doer Hag. Some dozens of young
Irishmen have already left the city
for the Transvaal, but the largest re
cruiting Is done In Chicago and other
western cities, San Francisco sending
her quota.
hlcRl' Convention Hid.
Chicago, Nov. 28. President George
Miller, of the Hamilton club. Inst night
appointed a committee of 25 Republi
cans to go to Washington under the
leadership of Samuel li. Raymond,
Dec. 13, and lay persistent siege to the
national committeemen until they con
Bent to nominate the Republican presi
dential ticket In Chicago. Tho com
mittee will be empowered to offer any
necessary amount of money, even
though a special building must ba
erected.

Consumption
Do not think for s sinjs
moment that consumption will
ever strike you a sudden blow.
It does not come that way.
It creeps its way along.
First, you think it is a little
cold; nothing but little hack
ing cough; then a little-loss in
weight; then a harder cough;
then the fever and the night
sweats.
The suddenness comes when
you have a hemorrhage.
Better stop the disease while
it is yet creeping.
You can do it with

The Rev. Irl R. Hicks Almanac
There is no eomparison between
former editions, and this splendid
Almanac for 1900, now ready.
Printed in beautiful colors, on much
Biker paper, in 196 pages are packed
with invaluable information on
storms, astronomy and meteorology.
It is illustrated with nearly 200
finest half tones and other engrav
ings. This superb, lxwk would sell
anywhere for fifty cents, but it costs
only 2oc per copy, and every sub
scriber to llcv. Irl R. Hick's now
famous paper, B-Ofd and Horkx, at
$1.0u a year, receives this elegant
Almanac as a premium. Wtrdand
Work is a recognized leader among
the best family and scientific journa's,
while nothing of its kind can com
pare with the Hicks Almanac. One
dollar a year is a nominal price lor
such unique and useful publications.
Prof. Hicks has justly, and of ne
cessity, withdrawn his storm and
weather forecasts from all free al
manacs, having generously given his
time and labor free for nearly twenty
years. Word and Works Pub.

How Girls May See Paris
Alone.
A bright American girl is going
to tell, in The iMdiat Home Journal,
how she and a girl friend went to
Paris together, saw its sights, visit
ed all places of interest, lived there
and had "the time of our lives," as
she explains the experience. In
three gossipy articles all the points
of interest in and about the French
capital will be treated and briefly de
scribed, and how to live well at
small cost in fact, just how girls
going alone to Paris can best and
cheapest enjoy the trip, will be ex
plained. Of course, these experi
ences are intended to serve as a
guide for girls going to the Paris
Exposition in 1900.
