PENNYPACKER
THE NOMINEE
The battle is over, the smoke has
rolled away. Pennypacker was chosen
on the first ballot, at the Republican
State convention yesterday the vote
being: Pennypacker 206. Elkiu 152.
The battle waged was carried into
nearly every county in the state. The
scenes in Harrisburg were beyond de
scription. The city was simply wild
with excitement.
The end was foreshadowed in the
caucuses, held Tuesday night, Quay
mustering 20t> delegates, while Elkin
claimed 189 in his caucus.
The real interest centered iu the
convention, which met in the Har
risburg opera house at 10.45 o'clock
yesterday morning. It was called to
order by State Chairman Reeder, after
which the roll of delegates was called.
Senator Boies Penrose was chosen
temporary chairman, on Senator
Quay's motion, without opposition.
On the suspension of rules Quay was
made chairman of the State committee.
The balloting for Governor began
after dinner and the result was soon
known. Elkin 152, Pennypacker 20ti.
William Brown, of Tioga county, was
nominated for Lieutenant Governor by
acclamation. Isaac Brown, of Erie,
was nominated for Secretary of Inter
nal Affairs.
Mahoning Greek Foul and Stagnant.
There is a marked prevalence of
fever and ague along West Mahoning
street, especially among children,
which is attributed directly to the foul
condition of Mahoning creek at that
point. Heretofore wholesale execra
tion has been poured out upon Bliz
zard's run, as if in the pollution of
our town it was the head and front of
all offenders. As a matter of fact no
matter how radical the measures ad
opted looking to the cleansing of Bliz
zard's ruu the sanitation of our town
would be hut little improved without
some attention to Mahoning Creek.
This stream as it passes through town
becomes an immense receptacle of
filth, receiving not only the foul mat
ter discharged from Blizzard's run,
but also the deleterious contents of
sewers and cesspools at different points
At times of frequent rain the current
carries off a great deal of the sew
age, etc, but when as at present the
stream is low the water loaded with
the foul and noxious matter has scarce
ly auy motion and becomes stagnant
and reeky with nauseating odors.
Under the circumstances nothing more
, could be expected than that unhealthy
exhalations should arise from the
stream producing not only fever and
ague,but fevers of a more malignant
type.
Mahoning Creek is a rank nuisance
within itself and should not be
lost sight of in agitating better sanita
tion for the borough.

TAX RATE AND
DEBT REDUCED
Good Showing Made by the Retiring
Board of County Commissioners
Montour county, it is true, is a
diminutive division of the common
wealth and in this connection it is
Rratifyiiiß to note that its debt is cor
respondingly small, thanks to the
economy and the good business methods
employed by the retiring County Com
missioners. The record of the board's
action during the six years past forms
a very interesting'chapter of the coun
ty's history as relates to its finances.
When the present board went into
office the tax rate was 10 mills on the
old valuation. The hoard after careful
investigation reduced the rate one
mill, or 10 per cent. From the pro
ceeds three new iron bridges were
built and several others including tin
river bridge, (a new factor in the ex
pense account) were repaired and in
addition #4OOO were paid on the county
indebtedness.
The second year another reduction
of one mill was made and SIOOO paid
on the county indebtedness.
On the third year the rate was re
duced to 7 mills, being a reduction of
30 per cent. Two new bridges wen
built and several old ones repaired,
while as in the two preceding years
the county indebtedness was reduced
#4OOO.
During the next year with a tax rate
of 7 mills three new iron bridges were
built, besides very thorough repairing
of the old ones and S4OOO was paid on
the county indebtedness.
On the following year as per order
of the Court the assessors were in
structed to assess iu accordance with
the law and as this increased the valua
tion about 2}, i times the rate was cor
respondingly reduced to 3 mills and
#4OOO paid on the indebtedness.
During the present year the same
rate —3 mills—is in force, while the
same reduction of S4OOO brings I la
total amount of county indebted
ness paid off up to $24,000, thus
wiping out entirely the debt on the
jail and fully one-half of the debt on
the river bridge, and this in face of
the extraordinary costs of the Courts
in 1901, there being six terms with an
expense of $»;,(!00, double that of any
previous year.
Thrown out of a Carriage.
While driving from South Danville
to Bloomsburg Monday night H. 1"'.
Dietrich of the St. Elmo Hotel,
Bloomsburg, and four others had an
unpleasant experience just east of this
city. In making a sharp turn, at tin
gas works of the State Hospital, tin
carriage was upset and all were thrown
out.
In the party were Mr. and Mrs.
Dietrich their infant daughter, Mrs.
Joseph Turner, mother of Mrs. Diet
rich, and Mrs. J. B. Erhart. The
only one that escaped injury was the
baby, all the others receiving bruises
and contusions. The carriage was
damaged considerably. The horses
made no effort to move after the car
riage went over, thus preventing the
accident from being more serious.
The party came to South Danville
tojvisit Harvey Dietrich, brother of
Mr. Dietrich and proprietor of the
Susquehanna Hotel. After righting
the carriage and being given assistance
by some of the attaches at the hospital
they continued their journey home
ward.

when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, lie did
not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for
his wife, who for eight weeks had suf
fered with the most terrible pains in her
back and could get no relief. He says:
"After using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, I feel as
thoußh born anew, and before using the
entire contents of the bottle the unbear
able pains had entirely vanished and
she could again take up her household
duties. He is very thankful and hopes
that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderfnll recovery. This valuable

Workman's Bad Fall.
John Bryan, an employe of the
Structural Tubing works, met with
an accident yesterday forenoon which
will incapacitate him for work for
some days. He was engaged iu wheel
ing ashes into a car and was returning
down the inclined plank when the
wheelbarrow, slipped off the track,
the mishap causing man and barrow
to fall to the ground, a distance of
some eight feet. In the fall Mr. Bryan,
who went over backwards, snstaiued
a bad cut on the back of his right
wrist, necessitating several stitches.
Dr. Curry attended him.

The veil portion of the linen is lined
with pale yellow china silk, and two

Straps of narrow ribbon are carried

It happened that the Fox and the

and, with an anxious look on his face,
the goat observed:
"My dear Fox, you come just in time.
1 am suspicious that there are Wolves
about."
"SoV" queried the Fox. "And in what

"If you will only cross the Held to

"I—l would rather be excused. My
father was eaten by Wolves, you

"Then it looks to tne as if nothing
could be done," said the Fox after
awhile.
"No, I don't see that we can do any
thing." mused the Goat.
"Unless we called upon the Lamb."
"Ah! That might do. Yes, I think
the Lamb would be willing to oblige
us."
The Lamb, having been called up
from the field and the case stated to
him, at once announced his willingness
to investigate the tracks and set off at
once. He speedily found and followed
them Into the bushes, and a minute
later his bleats of distress proved that
the Goat's suspicions had been correct.
"Well, they must have been Wolf

"For sure," replied the Goat.
And then they winked at each other
and their faces took on a look of peace

We do not need registered cattle for !
the ordinary stockyard, but the man I
who starts with common cows and al- i
ways has a fine registered bull at the j
head is getting something which is j
pretty close to registered cattle. This
is the secret of maintaining a herd up
to a standard which will make the an
imals as good for all practical pur
poses as any in the market. Farmers
who raise beef cattle are not breeders,
but they must be peculiarly alive to
the methods observed by the best
breeders. They must recognize the fact
that a herd quickly degenerates if left
to Itself. A very practical way to keep
the animals from degenerating is to see
that full blooded bulls head the flocks.
A beef grower should have a herd <•
hand at all times large enough to war
rant the expense of keeping a line bull
at the head. Cost what it will, such a
bull must be had, and if raised on the
farm it must meet all the requirements
of the case. Pure bred bulls must be
constantly added to the flock to prevent
degeneration through inbreeding. The
common cows obtained at a compara
tively nominal cost will produce prog
enly that will partake of the character
istics of the sire sufficiently to make
them first class beef cattle.
Take even common scrub cows, with
absolutely nothing except hardiness of
constitution to recommend them, and
breed them continuously to full blooded
bulls, and In the course of a few gener
ations how few of the scrub character
istics will there be left? They will be
bred out of them just as surely as the
good characteristics of full blooded
slock will disappear under careless
methods of breeding within a short
time. We need to breed for purer and
better stock, and if this is kept in view
we are pretty sure to raise the standard
of the herd. Farmers are not required
to follow all the fine points which the
professional breeder observes, but it is
necessary that they should realize the
advantages of full blooded males at the
head of every herd. Money spent in
this way will be amply returned. A lit
tle additional weeding out of the poor
est cows of the herd and the selection
of the best for further breeding will be
sufficient to accomplish the desired end.

The nine Gray Steer.
One of Scotland's famous products,
the blue gray steer, is to be "experi
mented on" In this country, says The
Breeder's Gazette. This characteristic
type of beefmaker in the country
which produces the "prime Scots" re
sults from the cross of Shorthorn and
Galloway blood, and as a feeding and
killing proposition to convert neeps and
straw into beef and to dress out a fine
carcass of that beef which has made
Britain famous it knows no superior,
according to the great burden of disin
terested evidence. This class of cross
bred, sometimes the product also of
the Angus-Shorthorn cross, lias been
long known of on this side, but very
little bred or fed. It is produced in its
best estate by usinp practically pure
bred animals on both sides, and there
has been small inducement to devote
pure breds to this purpose. No system
atic attempt has been made to provide
a demonstration of the value of the
union of the blood of these breeds in
this country until the present time,
when the lowa experiment station,
aided by the Union Stockyards com
pany, Chicago, has taken the matter up
in earnest and on so large a scale that
definite conclusions may be deduced
from the results.
Of Course, They're Wild.
The Maine Farmer says: "Two tliree
year-old steers which were pastured
la-st summer on Lee's island by Wil
liam Bowker of Pittsburg have become
completely wild and are ranging the
woods on the mainland in company
with a deer, having swum the channel.
Gunners are out in seaich of them, as
it is impossible to catch them."
We do not blame the cattle at all.
What treatment they must have had
that they would run wild at three
years old! We have raised many a
steer and heifer to that age and never
had one that would not let us walk up
to it in the pasture, and most of them,
even three-year-old bulls, would come
to us when we called them. But we
always treated them gently unless
guilty of some misbehavior, handled
them almost every day during the win
ter, and even when we had been away
from home for weeks or months they
knew us and seemed almost as pleased
to see us as the ever faithful dog.
When three-year-old cattle run wild in
that way, they must have learned to
be afraid of men lu some way. Per
haps the fault was not with the own
er, but with gunners and dogs that
chased them earlier in the season.—
American Cultivator.
Lneky Feeders.
When Texas meal fed cattle bring
from $0 to $0.23 per hundredweight, as
they have been doing recently, it shows
that there Is nothing the matter with
the demand. Texas feeders are highly
I satisfied with the results, and the only
regret is that they did not have more
nerve and buy more feed last fall and
feed more cattle. A good many were
scared out of the notion of feeding be
cause meal and hulls were held at such
high figures. Results, however, are
showing that the men who fed are
making good profits, and the fellow
who didn't feed now wishes he had.
SuinsthiiiK Ileeords.
Some Galloway records have been
smashed this season already. Secreta
ry Park states that on one day last
month he registered a total of eighty
seven pedigrees of calves for one breed
er, which is the largest registration
ever offered at one time by a single
firm or individual.
