Easton Expects a Great Crowd at
the Convention of the State League
of Republican Clubs.
(Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Aug. 22.
Within 10 days the Republican cam
paign in Pennsylvania will bo well
under way and work will bo begun In
earnest to assure the election of tho
eutire Republican ticket by largo ma
jorities Much has already boon done
In that direction In the preliminary
canvass, and the September ultra as
sessment out of the way, the cam
paigning to Interest the voters In the
Republican cause will be spirited aud
unceasing until the IK>IIS close on the
7th of November next.
Colonel Wesley It Andrews, chair
man of the Republican state commit
tee, states that tho county chairmen
have never before accomplished BO
much work thus early In a canvass,
and his reports from every section of
tho state aro exeetnllngly gratifying.
His correspondence Is very large and
a corps of stenographers are kept busy
until late every evening running off on
typewriters his letters to commlttetv
men and other active Republicans In
the several counties.
Although this Is what Is styled an
"off year." when it is not expected
that there will be many mass meet
ings, Chairman Andrews has already
got a number of applications from
young Republicans and many veteran
orators efferlng their services to the
state committee to address any mass
meetings that may be held under the
auspices of the state organization. The
chairman will also be In a position to
furnish orators to county meetings
held by direction of the county chair
men.
Young Men to the Front.
The state organization Is giving
every encouragement possible to tho
officers of the State League of Rf>pub
llcan Clubs who ar* preparing tot
their convention, which will be held
la HoAton the xxiMvlltj of Utat tuiuilit.
This promises to f>e one of the mosl
Important conventions held In the his
tory of the state league, and all pos»
sible arrangements are being made
for the entertainment of the visitors.
There will b* full representation of
the clubs and a large attendance of
active and earnest party men—men
who are In the party from conviction
and principle, and not for personal
gain The league always has been
found on the side of clean and aggres
sive Republicanism Moat of tho clubs
have among the delegate* who will
attend the annual convention those
active young men who are looking
ahead for promotion in our state and
local politics. They are the working
volunteer force of the party Neither
faction nor dissension can swerve
them from loyalty to the party which
they place above and b*yond men and
individuals
The league Is a powerful and Im
portant adjunct to the state commit
tee and a political help to success
The state ticket this year Is a good
ticket, clean, able and Republican, and
there la no reason why It should not
receive the earnest and eealous suj>
port of all good Republicans. It cer
tainly will have the cordial untiring
support of all the clubmen over the
state.
Campaign of Misrepresentation.
As an Indication of how the Repub
licans of the Interior of the state view
the Philadelphia situation, this from
the Pittsburg Gazette is of Interest.
"In the history of Pennsylvania pol
itics there has never been a* dirty a
campaign of misrepresentation as
that now In progress. There has been
trouble in the city of Philadelphia. It
began with a iis franchise ordinance
and has gone to the extent of lnvolv
lng some city contractors. Indue
course and by due process of law the
accused will be declared guilty or In
nocent according to th"lr deserts. In
the meantime, however, there Is a hue
and cry sent out over the statu that
these men are guilty, and their sins
are laid at tho door of the Republic as
party
"The attack on the Republican
party, however. Is of another color
There is no mistaking that It etna
nates from the committee of the whole
of the Democratic party and Is boost
ed along by the organization of misfits
whosu motto Is rule or ruin Its v«ry
absurdity has led to allowing It to
go unchallenged for so long that it Is
beginning to be accepted outside the
state. The cuarge haa been taken up
by a kit of blantant yellow Journals
that try to carry political water on
both shoulders, but which never los«
a really good opportunity to thrust
at the Republican party. That la all
there Is to It There Is BO shadow of
truth iu the claim and the Republican
voters In November will ram It down
the false throats that give It utler
*nc«."

SELINSGROVE MAN
BEATEN OUT Of- S6OO
Lewis K Amig, an aged and well
to do citizen of Selinsgrove.a man who
has had experience in all the various
transactions that goto make up a life
time, finally fell into as neat a little
name of flim-flam as it has been our
pleasure to report for some time.
Monday was circus day at that lit
tie inland village, and all the country
tolk for miles around congregated
there, for Snyder county does not of
ten experience such a gala day. As is
invariably the case.as the vulture fol
lows the caravan, crooks of all the
fake games in the catagory of "good
things" followed and located in Selins
grove, with the stamping ground of
the show as the headquarters.
Mr. Amig came in contact with a
pair of the gentry, apparently iu in
terested conversation on a matter of
advertising the show busiuess. The
atteution of the Selinsgtove citizen
was at once riveted by the sight of an
envelope bulging with greenbacks,and
around and about this were others
containing less amounts —money in
that little firm appeared to be uo con
sideration. The big envelope mention
ed contained #750, and the man who
held it made things appear as though
he and his companion had not met be
fore. He was evidently trying to per
suade the party of the second part to
try his lack The game was a good
one—each envelope was marked on the
one side with the amount it contain
ed, ranging from $5 to #SO, and one of
them contained #7so,and this one was,
before the opening of the game expos
ed to view.
The proposition was made to Mr.
Amig that if he could cover the #SO
he could play, and a trial for the fun
of the thing was made. Mr. Amig
first drew #lO, and then again #2O and
again 50, all the while with the #750
in sight as a possibility when out of
sight and in the game.
He became more earnest and said he
had no money with hiir, hut could
secure it. The party to the second part
then stated that if Mr. Amig would
raise #KOO, he, the party to the second
part, would raise #l6O and they would
put the man with the little envelopes
out of the business. This was planned
iu secret. The result was that Mr.
Amig secured the endorsement of G.
R. Hendricks, drew the #<'«0() fioin the
bank, met the fakirs in an alley, ac
companied them to a secret place and
it required but a few moments until
Mr. Amig had bid a sorrowful fare
well to his #tio(). Whether he will ever
meet and greet it again will remain
for the courts to decido, as he has had
the offenders arrested.
Free Anti-Toxin For
Those Who Can't Pay
Health Commissioner Dixon is now
formulating plans for establishing de
pots In every county of the Common
wealth for the free distribution of
anti-toxin to those diphtheria sufferers
who cannot afford to purchase it.
So far, the plans are incipient and
about the one definite bit of in forma
tion on the subject which Dr. Dixon
has made public is that two or more
depots will be established in each coun
ty from which the anti toxin will be
distributed upon application by a
certificate from the nlivsician iu at
tendance.
Anti-toxin, in addition to being a
cure for diphtheria, is also au excel
lent preventative of the disease in
those who have been exposed to con
tagion and au effort will be made to
establish a system of inoculation for
those w ho have been so exposed.
Unique Relic.
Some months ago Captain H. H.
Mertz found a land turtle 011 the bat
tlefield of Gettysburg, which was in
scribed with the insignia of tlie En
gineer Corps, the American flag and
"J. Lee, Company B, U. S. E." The
newspaper articles that appeared rela
tive to the strange find brought a
claimant for the property in a man
from Detroit, Michigan.
Through a protracted correspondence
it lias developed that tin: marking was
cut ou the under shell of tin: turtle in
18fiD while the command lay at Taney*
town, Md., then General Meade's
headquarters of the Army of the Po
touiac, and thirteen miles from where
it was found, after a lapse of forty
years.
Captain Mertz took pleasure in ex
pressing the turtle to Lieutenant Lee
and doubtless the owner is proud of
this unique relic of a personal experi
ence daring the war

BREAKER DESTROY
1:1) BY FIRE
SIIAMOKIN. Aug. 28—Firo com
pletely destroyed the big breaker ofc
the Greenongh Hed Ash Coal Co . at
Marion Heights near here early this
morning.
One hour after the flames were dis
covered by a fireman the structuie was
a mass of ruins. The breaker was built
tiva years ago at a cost of $87,000 and
was insured for $13,000. It is owned
by Pittstou and Shainokin capitalists
ami was one of the largest individual
operations in the Shamokin region.
Former Mine Inspector Edward Bren
nau is superintendent and part owner
of the operation.
The blaze was first discovered at
half-past twelve o'clock, and is sup
posed to have been of incendiary
origin. So quickly did the flames con
tiuue to spread that the men,owing to
a scarcity of fire-fighting apparatus,
were unable to make much of a tight
to save the structure.
Not more than two weeks ago, im
provements amounting to a cash out
lay of ten thousand dollars wore com
pleted and these were all destroyed.
There being no fire in the pait of
the structure where the flames were
first discovered, the promoters believe
that it was set on fire, but no clues
have been secured.
The plant will likely be rebuilt.

Favors State Museum.
State Librarian Thomas Lynch Mont
gomery thinks it woold be extremely
unwise hurriedly to build other quart
ers for the housing of the library to
take the place of the present library
building, which it is suggested should
be torn down when the new capitol
building ha» been finished.
Mr. Montgomery is a firm believer
in the necessity for a State museum,
such as was authorized by a law pass
ed by the last Legislature, and the
adaptation of the present Executive
building to libraiy and museum pur
poses.
He suggests in his rejiort that the
present quarters of the Auditor Gen
eral be converted into a law library,
where members of the profession could
obtain well lighted quarters and the
quiet which is necessary for their re
search.
"The results are apparent in a series
of twenty five Jarvolumes of mount
ed papers," adds Mr. Montgomery
"Several tons of papers have been
transferred from th« different depart
ments and have been repaired and put
into appropriate classifications, so as
to bo available for referenoe; and
these will he bound up within reason
able time."
He says that the work of the travel
ing library department has been most
satisfactory,in so far as the circulation
of books is concerned. The Legislat
ure of J 903 set aside *12,000 for this
work for the two years. The Library
Commission employs only three per
sons at salaries which aggregate $2,-
400 a year. The greater part of the ap
propriation goes directly into the pur
chase of books. One hundred and sixty
one collections of fifty books each are
now in active circulation.
During the year the ilbrary has re
ceived ;j,4«0 books and pamphlets, of
which 114 have been gifts. The esti
mated number of volumes and pam
phlets in the library is 120,000. Twelve
hundred and seventy-seven items of
Pennsylvania,including imprints,were
added to the collection daring the
year, a large number of these being
publications of the eighteenth century.

Pennsylvania Railroad Maintains Schedule
(New York Tribfiue, August 13, 1905.)
During the month of July the Penn
sylvania Special arrived in Chicago
exactly on the minute of its schedule
every day. The easthound Pennsyl
vania Special arrived in New York on
schedule time twenty-three days. The
average detention on seven days was
less than ten minutes, due entirely to
conditions for which the train crew
could not be held responsible. The
greatest breach in the schedule was on
July 11, when the Special was held up
behind a freight wreck, which block
ed all four tiacks on the Middle Div
ision, entailing a loss of two hours
and twenty-two minutes in the reg
ular arriving time at New Yoik.
If is difficult to find a match for this
record. It demonstrates that the
schedule has sufficient elasticity to
take up any or diuaryjde tent ions which
may occur between termini, and that
even faster regular schedule may be
made should it be deemed wise. The
fine condition of the roadbed, the effici
ent motive power, and skillful opera
tion all contribute to the ease with
which the Special accomplishes its
work.
