President Delighted With Reports
From Chairman Penrose.
PENNSYLVANIA WILL BE TRUE
Ho U Told That the Keystone State
Will Roll Up a Big Majority Next
Month For Republicanism and Pros
porlty.
I Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia. Oct. 13. President
Roosevelt's interest in the election in
Pennsylvania next month was signifi
cantly manifested in a talk with Sena
tor Penrose, who was among the visi
tors at the White House last week.
The president made no secret of his
feeling of gratitude toward the Repub
licans of the Keystone state for the
conspicuous part taken by their dele
gates to tho last Republican national
convention In bringing about his nomi
nation for the vice presidency, despite
the opposition of Senator Hanna and
others, who were at that time very
potential in the councils of the Repub
lican national committee.
Since the responsibilities of the
presidency have devolved upon Roose
velt there are no two men to whose
judgment and advice on public affairs
be gives greater consideration than
Senators Quay and Penrose.
CHAT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Senator Penrose's visit to Washing
ton last week was not in relation to
politics, but to close up several mat
ters before the departments. His call
on the president was merely a social
visit, but the political situation was
Incidentally discussed. The president
wag keenly interested in the reports
given him by Senator Penrose regard
ing the outlook for a large Republican
majority in Pennsylvania on November
I next. Senator Penrose informed him
ikat throughout the state the young
itepublleans have taken hold of cam
paign work as they have never done
before, and this condition Is generally
attributed to the belief that the larger
the Republican vote in Pennsylvania
this year the greater emphasis will be
given to the fact that Pennsylvania is
a Roosevelt state, and proposes to lead
the Roosevelt column in the aiming
national campaign.
The action of the last two Republi
can state conventions in declaring for
the nomination of Roosevelt for presi
dent and the adoption of resolutions
expressing the same sentiment by the
Pennsylvania State League of Clubs
have nil been mo. t pleasing to the
president, and when he learned from
Senator Penrose the determination of
the party workers to roll up an im
mense Republican majority next
month, with a view to affecting public
sentiment throughout the country, he
w«jj more than delighted.
PITTSBURG FOR CONVENTION.
Senator Penrose, as chairman of
the Republican state committee, has
decided to heartily co-operate with the
leaders of the movement to have the
? ueit national Republican convention
fceld in Pittsburg. He thinks every
Pennsylvanian should exert himself
to help along this agitation
"It would be particularly fitting."
■kid Chairman Penms' that, with
Rooaevtdt as the candidate anil a con
tinuance ot the protective tariff the
malu issue in the coming campaign,
that the candidate should be named
and the platform formulated in Pitts
burg, the birthplace of the Republican
party and the centre ol industrial
prosperity of the nation There could
be no more appropriate meeting place
tban Pittsburg for the national con
ventlon next year when w« will cele
lirat* the 60th anniversary of the or
ganization of the Republican party
"With the delegates coming from
till parts of the country, what an oh
Ject lesson In the cause of protection
would be presented in Pittsburg and
the valleys of the Allegheny and the
Monongahela''
"In no section of the country can
there be given a better exemplification
•112 the desirability of a continual)' •• of
the policy of a protective tariff than
In Plttuburg and vicinity The smok.

Republicans Will Put a Cross In

NEW GROUPING OF CANDIDATES
The Names of the Partle* are Printed
On the Extreme Left of the Ballot,
and There is a Square After Each
Party's Name.
(Special Correspondence i
Harrlsburg. Oct 13. —One of the Im
portant duties of the liiombors of tho
Republican county committees through
out the state between now and election
day will be to instruct the voters re
garding the changes that have been
mad- in the form of the official ballot
and the method of marking the ballot
so as to cast a vote for the full Repub
lican ticket.
Under the provisions of the law as
passed at the last session of the legis
lature the ballot will be smaller than
heretofore. Tho party columns have
been abolished, and the names of the
candidates will be grouped under the
titles of the different offices for which
they are running. The name of his
party, however, will be printed after
the name of each candidate.
In lieu of the party column and the
party circle at the head of each col
umn, there shall be printed on the ex
treme left of each ballot the names of
the several parties, and after the name
of each party there shall be printed a
square of sufficient size to permit of
the convenient insertion of a cross
mark, like this:
i I
REPUBLICAN j X |
L I I
11
DEMOCRATIC
j_ _ I I
PROHIBITION
PUT CROSS MARK IN SQUARE
This cross mat k is to serve the same
purpose as did the cross mark used for
the old ballot.
When this cross mark Is placed in the
square after the name of any party, In
this group of parties on the left of tho
ballot, it signifies the intention of the
voter to vote for all the candidates
nominated by that party.
Every mark within such square shall
be equivalent to a mark against every
name designated by that political ap
pellation or party name, including can
didates nominated by more than one
party or group of citizens.
At the head of each ticket shall be
printed the following instructions:
To vote a straight party ticket mark
a cross (X) in the square opposite the
name of the party of your choice in the
first column.
"A cross mark in the square op
posite the name of any candidate Indi
cates a vote for that candidate."
INSTRUCTIONS AS TO COUNTING.
A book of Instructions has been Is
sued by the Republican state commit
tee, and Secretary Andrews expects
that before the end of this week he will
have copies of the same in the hands
of all the county committeemen. In
this book, which also contains other
valuable data regarding the new law,
the following Instructions are given to
election officers regarding the method
of counting the ballots:
The effect of a cross mark (X) in
the square opposite the name of the
jiarty of his choice. In the straight
party column on the left of the ballot,
shall be equivalent to a vote for every
candidate of the party so marked.
The placing of a cross mark (X) In
the square at the right of the name of
each candidate Indicates a rote for
each candidate so marked.
A cross mark (X) in the square op
posite the name of the party in the
straight party column on the left of
the ballot, votes a straight ticket, and
ia equivalent to a vote for every can
didate of the party so marked, and the
marking of one or more names in the
group of candidates of another party,
is the marking of more names than
the voter ia entitled to vote for.and la
a marking of the ballot otherwise than
is directed by the act. and the ballot
must not be counted for such office,
but must be counted for all other of
fices, for which the namo of the can
dilates have been properly marked.
For example—A voter places a cross
mark opposite the namo "REPUBLI
CAN" in the column on the left ot the
ballot—this mark would Indicate that
he had voted for every candidate of
that party. If the voter, after having
so marked his ballot, should place a
cross mark in the square to the right
of the name of a candidate of the
Democratic party, his vote would not
be counted for either or any of the
candidates for that office, because the
voter would by doing so vote for more
candidates for that office than he is

An Equinotcial Storm.
"Is this the equinoctial storm?"
was tho question asked by many Dan
ville people on Saturday What is
called the "liue storm" has no partic
ular date. The biggest storm of the
Fall season, which follows up I lie At
lantic, coming before, about or alter
tho equinox —September 22 —JS des
ignated tho "equinoctial storm."
Scientist tell us that tin equinoctial
storm is a myth, that there is no more
reason why a storm should be caused
by the sun crossing the equator than
by tho solar crossing of auv other
geographical line. Yet the storm an
nually comes "about this time," and
the popular intelligence will always
believe that its appearance is a reg
ular eveut according to natural law-
What is called meteorology is a
termed science, but out weather ser
vice is little better than guess wmk
most of the time, anil hot as good
guess work as that ot the farmer who
is weatlierwise, or the old sailor who
can forecast a- far as the government
observer, or faither. The Washington
forecaster promised us lair md cold
weather (or Friday and Friday night.
He told us of the coming of a Red
River Valley disturbance, followed by
a cool wave. We got the storm, which
followed the lakes and dip) d down
farther south than was expected, and
struck an "unexpected" storm from
the Atlantic, which has put the hike
storm to shame as a little sprinkle.
The weather niau couldn't get in
communication with Old Neptune,
and therefore not aware that a terrific
storm was brewing and lashing in
fury somewhere north ot tie West
Indies or east of the Bermudas and
destined to reach our coast and give
the North Atlantic states the greatest
wind and rain storm of years.
It is the coast storms which do the
most damage to our big Eastern cities,
and our shipping A couple of months
ago the weather bereau gave warn
ings of a terrible hurricane on its way
from the Gulf up the coast, and ship
ping waited a couple ot cl »ys, and
cities in dread, but the storm did not
come. About three weeks ago a big
storm came from the Atlantic unan
nounced by the weather bureau, and
scores ot fishing smacks, and vessels
were wrecked and great damage was
done along the coast from Cape May
to Cape Cod. This was called the
"equinoctial storm" by people, who
insist on such a storm being caused by
Sol crossing the imaginary line, then
came other storms called equinoctial,
but the tempest of last week was tlie
king of them all.

MOUSED UP R)k
SEVERAL DAYS
Rev. N. E. Cleaverot this city, Rev.
J. W. HUH and son and Trainmaster
David Attick of Sunbury,and Rev. T.
L. Wilcox of Williamsport who have
returned home from a two weeks' fish
ing trip off the coast of Virginia, were
tlie victims of the recent storm that
swept the Atlantic coast leaving un
told destruction in its wake. The
gentlemen fortunately did not endure
any great hardships hut their experi
onct s are worthy ol mention.
The party were quartered on Hog
Island off the coast of Virginia, about
a.'!. r > miles south of Baltimore. Thurs
day, the day the storm begun, the
paity were out on the broad water in
a frail Hi-foot craft,piloted by a negro
inhabitant of the island, who earns a
livelihood in this manner. The fish
were not biting and along about '2
o'clock in the afternoon when they
were about five miles from shore, the
dark heavy clouds began to gather and
the sea got so choppy that the water
beat against the boat like a battering
ram. The pilot who bad seen such
things before suddenly told them to
pull in their lines as there was a
"north easter" coming and that it
looked as if thero was going to be
trouble. The return to shore Aas made
with post haste but not any too soon,
for while the pilot was seeing to the
boat the storm broke forth in all its
fury. The rain fell in torrents and
the wind blew eighty miles an hour.
After much difficulty the ineii man
aged to reach tlioir quarters whore
they wore housed up until Sunday, as
the storm continued that length of
time and the island was almost com
pletely covered with water all the
time with the exception of the going
out of the tide. The destruction on
the island and along the coast, they
say, was inestimable.
A big schooner driven out of its way
to New York landed at the island
with the crew tied to the ma-ts and
the captain to the wheel. The party
caught lots of fish, they say, anil they
are to bo shipped home by freight.

FISH NETS SEIZED
IN SUSQUEHANNA
The Department of Fisheries discov
ered an interesting fact in the seizure
of some nets last week. Warden Mai
loy was sent to investigate some viola- j
lions of the law on the Susquehanna ;
river, near Nencopeck and Berwick.
He found a number of wing walls all
in more or less working condition.but
oulv one basket, as the others wore
worked with set uets, devices that are
entirely prohibited by law. He seiz
ed thirteen nets witli meshes so small
that nothing larger than a diminutive
minnow could get through. He had
been warned that it was dangerous to
tackle the fishing apparatus up there,
as the fishermen are a lawless set. and
so when he seized a boat that had
evidently been used to fish on one of
the dams he was not astonished when
ho heard unearthly yells from tho shore
commanding him to bring the boat
back. The command was further en
forced by a double barrel shot-gun in
the hands of tho owner of the voice,
who also had a vest full of loaded
shells. The warden rowed to the
shore, when tho man said that he
owned the boat, but had nothing to do
with the fish traps. That heretofore
deputy sheriffs had raided the dams,
bat as the eel taking season was just
before election the deputies only kick
ed out a few stones that were easily
replaced, aud never disturbed the
nets. The warden, however, retained
tho nets and sent them down to the
department at Harrisburg.
On examination at the department,
it was found that the nets were made
to catch anything that swims, and in
some of them were found dead jouug
stiad, about four inches long. This
was an exceedingly interesting fact
iu several ways. First, it showed that
it was possible, owing to the excep
tionally high water last spring, for
shad to ascend the North Branch of
the Susquehanna, getting over the
dams at Clark's Ferry and Sunbury.
There is at present a large number of
petitions coming to the department
asking for the construction of fishways
over the dams mentioned that the shad
may have free access to the upper
waters of the river, and there is no
doubt that they are very desirable.
Bat the second thing shown by the
shad in the nets is that the conten
tion of the old Fish Commission for
several years that .eel,baskets and nets
are destructive to food fish is sustain
ed folly. If the nets on the upper
Susquehanna river, where there could
only possibly be very few shad, have
been killing the little food fisli, how
much more destructive mast the bask
ets and other devices be in the lower
river, where the fish are getting more
abundant through the stocking of the
stream. This matter is one for the
people who wish to get the shad up
the river to consider. The shad is one
of the most delicate of fishes. If only
one scale is knooked off a little shad
it will cause its death. In the river
where those nets were seized the wing
walls are so close together that they
about cover the wnole stream and
nothing can got down. That only two
licenses have been taken out for legal
fish baskets in Luzerne county and
none in Columbia county shows the
lawless character of th-.i fishermen up
thero, and the poor chance the shad
will have, if they are to have fish
ways, unless the people who want
shad build up a sentiment in favor of
enforcing the laws for the protection
of the fish.
Toe Borough of Ashland has several
lawsuits for heavy damage pending,
all on account of tlio smallpox epidemic
Mrs. Boruieisler has sued the borough
for $25,000 damages for the death of
her husband in the post hospital and
Mrs. Thomas Clark, who was a patient
in the same hospital has also brought
suit tor a like amount because she lost
her eyesight from improper care and
treatment by the physioiati and nuises
in charge.
As a reminder to parents aud guard
ians it cannot bo too often repeated
that the school law requires the reg
ular attendance of all children be
tween the age of 8 and 16 years unless
excused on account of sickness; pro
vided, however,that children between
the ages of 13 and It! years may be ex
cused from attendance if regularly
employed at useful labor and able to
read and write English intelligently,
There is still considerable boat in
old Sol's rays.
A GOOD THING
GIVE IT A PUSH.
LIVONA CAMP, PA, APRIL 21, 1902.
MOYER BROS.
DKAR SIR
1 think that every man that has a
leant of horses or any stock, ought to
have a bottle of Moyer's White Liniment
in the stable or his bouse. I had a
horse that stepped in a hole with his
front foot, coming down the mountain
with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we could hardly
get the collar off, and in two hours his
neck was swollen to all the skin would
hold. We used your White Liniment
freely,and in a few days he was to work
again, and does not show any signs of
lameness. It worked like magic.
Respectfully Yours,
J. A. BARTHAST.
