S# Says the Veteran "Tom" Cooper
of the Old Keystone State.
tyO COMFORT FOn INSURGENTS
Pennsylvania Republicans Should
Heed the V/ords of the "Sage of
Media."
The veteran and ever "hopeful Tom"
Cooper, of M« dia editor, statesman,
politician and former state chairman
of the Republican state committee —
tomes into the lime light with a timely
warning to Republicans of the Key
stone State of the danger that lurks in
the Insurgent political movement back
of the Berry candidacy for state treas
urer.
in his old established newspaper, the
Delaware County American, he says:
"The American has no thought of
attacking the character of Mayor Berry,
the Democratic - Fusion - Prohibition
nominee for state treasurer. That his
character is open and manly goes with
out saying in Delaware county. What
we desire most of all other things is
to disruss the future, and Berry's pre
diction that he will be elected. If we
unite all elements opposed to the Re
publicans in an off-year, he Is partly
Justified in his hopes. If he succeeds,
au he has in Delaware county, in mak
ing a fusion between the Lincoln Re
publicans and Democrats, and this fu
sion extends throughout the state, then
It is time for Republicans to pause and
Inquire as to the future.
Berry Is Bryan's Leader.
"Pennsylvania is justly regarded all
over the uniou as the banner Republi
can state, if it should go Democratic
this year the credit will go entirely to
the Democracy—the Bryan Democracy,
for Berry is Bryan's leader in
Pennsylvania. He is our state's chief
advocate of Bryan's silver views, and
of his semi-Socialistic thoughts.
"This Is the plain truth. The bitter
ness of faction cannot hide it, and with
Berry on top in Pennsylvania, it will
mean Bryan once again in full control
of the Democratic party, and its presi
dential nominee.
"This is politics, free from person
ality. This goes to the future, and
therefore It Is that the American asks
all good citizens, all Lincoln Republi
cans, all Gold Democrats, to pause and
contemplate the political waves as they
come in.
Not a Question of Men.
"This struggle is not a question of
men. Plummer, the Republican candi
date for state treasurer, is as upright
as Mayor Berry. We know it. Six
years of recent service In the house
with a prominent member thereof en
ables us to estimate, and we say, despite
all factional abuse, that J. Lee Plum
mer Is an honest man.
"Let us contemplate the future, and
govern our votes accordingly.
"Roosevelt will not again be a can
didate. If our state rushes into trou
bled waters other states will follow,
and confusion will come as it came
when Delamater was defeated for gov
ernor and Cleveland elected for presi
dent. The Delamater Incident looked
small, the Cleveland panic was large.
This Is simply politics, as to the future.
"The American believes in every sen
sible advance, but in reaching better
things it would not tear out the eyes
of those whose help Is very essential.
"We have been through two political
revolutions; we know their meaning;
we have learned to anticipate their re
sults.
"Look at what the Republican party
has done. It has met reform in six
great states —In Wisconsin, Illinois,
fndiana, Oregon, New Jersey, New York
and Massachusetts. In these states it
has passed great measures, honest
measures for personal registration, uni
form primaries and safe election laws.
As the waves come in, for reform or
otherwise, let ns inquire if we cannot
promote better things within ourselves.
"As sur« as we live. Pennnylvanla
will do her duty, and through the Re
publican party."
Poverty Not a Bar to Progress.
"Such men as Mr. Plummer. em
bodying all the sterling qualities char
acteristic of the truest Americans af
ford th. \ ry best examples to the
sons of the wage workers." says the
editor of the I-ahor World of Pitts
burg "Depend upon it they prove that
poverty Is not a barrier to success when
determination and honesty of purpose

examples should b" encouraged by
those who l>« nefit most by them, that

ATTACK POLITICAL GUERILLAS
Candidate For State Treasurer Plum
mer Given a Splendid Reception By
the Clubmen.
[Special Correspondence.]
Philadelphia, Sept. 2G.
The Republican campaign is now
under way In earnest. The aggressive
young Republicans of the State League
of Clubs fired tho first gun at their
big convention in Easton. and since
then there has been a booming of
heavy artillery all along the line.
From every county comes reports
that the Republican skirmishers are
out, that the lines are extended in
every direction and that the enemy is
to be pressed to speedy conclusions at
every point.
"There will be no quarter asked or
given," said Field Marshal Wesley R.
Andrews at the Republican state com
mittee headquarters. "The Republican
colors are to be borne Into the thick
of the fight, and all enemies of Re
publicanism, whether they appear in
the uniform of Democrats, Lincolnites
or guerillas or insurgents of any kind
or character, may expect to be treated
alike and put to ignominious rout In
the cause of good government and the
maintenance of the principles and pol
icies of the party which has made this
the most prosperous and happy coun
try In the world.
"Every Republican of Pennsylvania
who realizes the significance of the
present contest and the far-reaching
effect of the result of tho November
election upon the future of the party
will be found fighting for the entire
Republican ticket."
Chairman Andrews has been over
run with callers from every county
of the state during the last week, and
is delighted with the situation and
the outlook for a sweeping Republican
majority.
Plummer Given An Ovation.
J. Lee Plummer, the Republican
nominee for state treasurer, was given
a great ovation by the Republican
clubmen nt Easton. He made a splen
did speech. In which, among other
things, he said:
"it is our proud boast today that the
treasury of the commonwealth has
never lost a dollar through the default
of a state treasurer.
"When the Republican party ranie
into power in Pennsylvania, real es
tate, trades and occupations, horses
and cattle, household furniture and
watches were all taxed for state pur
poses. Just as soon as the war was
over the people were relieved of these
taxes, so that now the only individual
who pays a state tax is the one who
has money at interest, and three
fourths of this tax. amounting in 1904
to $2,900,574. is returned to the coun
ties in relief of local taxation. No
man's home in Pennsylvania is taxed
to support th*» state government.
"The policy of relieving local taxa
tion Is carried out in respect to the
hotel licenses; four-fifths of the money
received from this source is returned
to the cities, boroughs and townships
in which the hotels paying the licenses
are located. More than $3,000,00<» is re
turned to the municipalities each year
from this source.
Liberal Support of Schools.
"The appropriation to the public
schools is also made to relieve the
people in their local taxes. In 1904 the
princely sum of $';,25<>.1(!7 was paid
to the counties for this purpose
"During the 45 years odd adminis
trations of the government of Penn
sylvania by the Republican party tax
ation of real estate, etc., for state pur
poses has been abolished, a debt of
$40,000,000 has been paid, a surplus
of several millions of dollars accumu
lated in the treasury and over $214,-
451,000 returned to the counties in re
lief of loeal taxation.
"Gentlemen, this is a record to bo
proud of, and I challenge any state
in the United States or any country In
the world to equal it.
"In nothing is the policy of the Re
publican party in this state to be more
commended than in its appropriations
for charitable and educational pur
poses."
Pennsylvania's Shame.
J. Hampton M<x>re, the progressive
younß Republican president of the Na
tional League of Clubs, in his speech
at the Easton convention stirred the
delegates to a high pitch of enthusi
asm, when ho said:
"It is a shame and a disgrace to
day that Pennsylvanians that are sec
ond to none in patriotism, morals and
good citizenship, are subjected to in
vidious comment whenever they come
in contact with the citizens of other
states. This is due to the persistent
and malignant circulation of slander
ous untruths relating to the adminis
tration of public affairs, which slan
ders are the result solely of motives
of disappointed ambition and revenge.
"The Republican candidate for state
treasurer, a man of unquestioned re
spectability, whose home life is in
dorsed by his neighbors, has been the
butt of misrepresentation and ridicule
from the day of his nomination. Every
other candidate has been subjected to
the same kind of unfair criticism. And
by whom?
"Mere factionists coalescing with
Democrats who have offered nothing
for a change of Republican faith ex
cept a nominee for state treasurer
whose public life has been as varied as
the hues of a chameleon.
Berry "a Human Talking Machlria."
"For a stalwart Republican devoted
to all the principles of freedom, pro
tection and prosperity for which Lin
coln, Grant, McKlniey and Roosevelt
have stood, they have offered an enig
ma, a human talking machine, who has
never been for anything that has been
successful, but who has devoted what
talent he may possess to advocating
destructive heresies iiße free trade,
free silver end single tax—an anomalv
in that besides being a Democrat he ia
a Prohibitionist.
"Such is the product of the work of
defamation wrought I>y tl." di gruntlcd
factionists who have profaned the name
of Lincoln that they might the more
successfully deceive the Republican
voters of the state. Factionists who in
1882 and in 1890 adopted similar tac
tics, which resulted In the defeat of the
Republican candidate for governor and
in the election of Grover Cleveland, the
apostle of free trade, Idle mills and
•oup houses."

also called to the negligence or the
refusal of the township supervisors to
keep the roads under their supervision
in pood repair. Such negligence or
refusal is a misdemeanor ;<tml while li
is a convenience for supeivisors to ap
portion tlie roads 111 the several parts
of the township to the supervisor most
convenient thereto, yet the negligence
or refusal of one supervisor to keep
the roads 111 good repair does not ex
cuse tin others and each is made li
a! le to conviction as a misdemeanor
for su( li negligence or refusal. It is
the duty of tho township supervisors
to remove and take away the loose
stoui's from traveled roads or high
ways in such townships at least once
each month during the months of May,
Juuc, August ami October, in each
year, and negligence or Tefusal to do
so makes them liable to pay a fiue or
penalty not exceeding ten dollars for
each otlense on their part.
While the latter offense is not the
subject of inquiry of the Grt»ud Jury,
yet the Court deemed it advisable to
call it to their attention as a means
of disseminating information relating
to the same in the several communities
of the county. The traveling public
of the several townships, he said,
should insist upon this provision of
the legislature being carried out.
The Associate Judges announced
that Court during the week will con
vene each day at 9 a. m.and at 2 p.
in., which will enable the Grand Jury
to ptesent their returns twice daily.
In the interim the court room will bo
in charge of the tip staffs, who will
look after the witnesses and see that
they appear before the Grand Jury as
needed. Stes' case, which was acted
upon first, was the only one returned
yesterday afternoon.

BATTERO GUILTY
OF MANSLAUGHTER
Guiltv of voluntary manslaughter as
indicted,was the verdiat of the twelve
men selected in the Northumberland
county court to sit in judgment in the
Batteio muider case.
The verdict was the result of alnost
live hours of dcliteiation on the evi
dence suhmitti d during the trial.
Judge Auteu tiuished his charge,
which was fair and impartial to both
the Commonwealth aud the prisoner
at the bar, at live o'clock Tuesday
evening, after which| the jury retired
to agree upon a verdict. J
Court being in session at night, to
I.ear the Wanzie trial, the jurors were
instructed that in case they reached
an agreement before adjournment,they
could return the same at once. At a
quarter to ten o'clock, Tipstave Hoey
notified tha Court that a verdict had
been reached and he was instructed to
bring in the jury.
As the twelve men filed into the
court room by the rear door there
came a hushed sileuce over the crowd
of spectators which had greatly di
minished and the prifouer became the
target for all eyes.
The usu:»l formal dialogue quickly
passed and the verdict WHS announced
by the foituian. Hattero was unmov
ed and did not seem to realize the
meaning rf the finding.
Counsel for the convicted man im
mediately made amotion for the stay
of judgment and time to file reasons
for a new trial,which was allowed by
the Court, j
LIGHT HEARTED
ROBBER SENTENCED
Edward Hayes, whose burglarious
exploi.ts have given him so much ccn
spicuity during the past month, was
called before Judge Auteu at Sunbury,
yesterday afternoon, and plead guilty
to robbing the Liedy in Milton.^
Hayes, made quite a speech in his
own behalf and had the audacity to
tell the Judge that he was honest and
but a victim of circumstances. He
asked the judge to be "light with
him" and ho was sentenced to pay a
fine of ten dollars, costs of prosecution
and.serve two years in the county jail
at hard labor.
When his term expires there will
likely be more coming to Edward. On
the way to the jail Hayes appeared to
be satisfied with the verdict and laugh
ed and joked all the way from the
court home to prison.

MINOR MATTERS
OF INTEREST
The traction engine bought by
Council as a sort of a venture a f»w
years ago has proven a most valuable
appurtenance of the Borough. It ha*
served its owners in various capacities j
and has heeu much sought for by out
siders Yesterday it was taken up to
Bloomsbnrg where it will assist in
paving one of the strcitsof that town.
The early history of the traction en
gine is not clear. It already had a
career when it fell into the hands of
Daniel M. Carry aud Edward W. Pet
ers, who sold it to the Borough at a
bargain. It was a most important
factor during the recent improvements
made in the borough and was ustul to
pomp water oat of the sewer trench
and to operate the centrifugal pump
in removiug the mud from lii.« wells
at the water works; it was used for
crushing stone and for dragging the
heavy road plow in breaking up iho
street where excavation was necessary
for paving. During the summer past
it was cn duty at DeWitt's Park wiie:e
it served as a motor for the mnrry-go
rouud,proving quite as much of a suc
cess iu chasing the hobby horses around
and keeping up music on the hand
organ as it was in pumping water or
dragging the road plow.
Compared to an automobile the trac
tion engine in point of spaed is not a
record breaker. It had all day before
it however, yesterday audit got to
Bloomsbarg before night. It is leased
by George W. Kieter of that place,
who will employ it in breaking stone.
Frank Magill, teacher in the Com
mercial Department of the Danville
High School, who was off duty last
week owing to illness, has resumed
charge of his school this week. Gar
public schools are moving along swim

proposition to pave East Markt t street

further agitation of the matter will

Although tho goldfish occurs in a

China some 400 years ago furnished
tho stock from which the wonderful

The demand at present appears to he

Gruvel* ii u«l Itoi-kN.
Some I'M)'K) or more years ago the
conditions which had brought about
the great ice age wiiere beginning to
change. The elevated land began to
fink, and a higher temperature slowly
followed. Tin' long winter was gradu
ally drawing to a close, and the great
springtime of the world was beginning
to hasten its intlueuce upon an ice cov
ered laud. Tons, rather mountains, of
lee began to melt, and the water filled
the river valleys to overflowing. Grav
el, sawl and mud were borne along by
these racing waters and deposited
wherever the conditions were favora
ble. lee rafts covered the surface of
tlic flood, bearing rocks and bowlders
from more northern lands.
All rivers which had glacial sources
were greatly Influenced by the final
melting. As the southern part of the
ice sheet rested over northern Penn
sylvania, the Delaware and the Sus
quehanna were typical rivers of the
age. The rocks and gravels which line
their banks show how well they have
kept the record. In the Delaware val
ley brick clay and gravel are laid out
In beautiful terraces, especially at
Stroudsburg and the Water Gap. Here
the waters : oxe some L'<x» feet, and an
artificial dam is supposed to have
formed the river Into a broad lake.
The Indians, it is said, have a curious
legend :il>• >nt this flood. They tell us
that the "Minsies" were the first race
which dwelt here, and the region round
about they call "Mlnlsluk," meaning
that the "waters are gone"—a vague
remembrance perhaps of the postgla
cial floods.
THE GIFT OF GAB.
Why Strphriiicicu Tlitcnghl There
WICM No L'ccuer Kunnl to It.
When George Stephenson was visit
ing the seat of Sir Robert Peel at
I iruyton on one occasion, says the writ
rr of "Famous British Engineers,"
there happened to be present Dr. Buck
land, the scientist, and Sir William
Follett, the famous advocate.
Stephenson discussed with Dr. Buck
land one of his favorite theories as to
the formation of coal und, tht/jgh un
doubtedly In the right, was ultimately
vanquished by the arguments and or
ntor.v of the doctor, who was a better
master of tongue fence than himself.
Next morning while pondering over his
defeat in the solitude of the garden he
was accosted by Sir William Follett
and confided to that gentleman the sto
ry of his failure.
Sir William, acquainted with the de
tails of the matter In dispute, agreed to
take up the case and soon afterward
attacked Dr. Rucklund on the subject
A long discussion ensued, in which the
man of law completely silenced the
man of science, who was nt last com
pelled t > own himself vanquished. Sir
Robert Peel, highly amused at this
example of "tit l'oc tat," then turned
to the Inventor and Inquired, with a
lnugh:
"And what do you say on this mat
ter. Mr. Stephenson?"
"Why," he replied, "I will only say
this— that of all the powers above and
under the earth there seems to me no
power equal to the gift of the gab."

Talleyrand, the uoted Frenchman,
posse ssed wit of so high an order that
it Las stood well the test of time, and
bis jokes are still good. The author
of "Juniper Hall" gives two of bis say
ings to Mine, tie Stael.
lie was a great admirer of Mme. Re
camier and Mine, de Stael, the one for
her beauty, the other for her wit.
Mine, tie Stael asked him one day if he
found himself with both of them In the
sea on a plank, aud could only save
one, whit bit would be, to which he
replied.
"Ah! Mme. de Stael knows so many
things, doubtless she knows how to
swim."
When "Delphine" appealed, it was
said that Mme. de Stael bad described
herself as Delphine and that Talley
rand was the original of Mme. de \er
non.
Meeting the authoress soon after
ward, Talleyrand remarked in his
•nicst gentle tone of voice:
"1 hear that both you and I appear
in your new book, but disguised as

Bladder troubles most always result from

can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's i
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver ana

It corrects inability to hold urine and scald

unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
