There is no doubt in the mind of any one at all familiar with political condi- tions in this senatorial district as to the election of Hon. Wm. C. Miller as State Senator on the 4th day of November. The voters in the district know him. They know he is an unfaltering Repub- lican. They know he is an experienced legislator. They know he is a safe man. They know he is a man who under- stands their interests and wiil devote his time to serving them. No man who ever served in the Legislature from this section has a better record for careful and persistent attention to the personal and general interest of the constituencies they were chosen to rep- resent. He is systematic and indefat- igble. When he says he will do any- thing he does it, and he has the ability of knowing how to do things for the people he represents. He can be de- pended upon—absolutely. He has been tried and never failed. The more the voters learn of him the more they ad- mire him. The people of Bedford county know him and believe in him and vote for him, as the flattering ma- jorities he has always received when a candidate for any public office will show. The Republicans of the district will know more of him before eleetion day and their votes will elect him. October Look Out For Fever.

Miller. and | MCE He fie 010 Scull are ond Ine Treg Asses, or vie Re: Suit of Fusion. Once upon a time there was a mare of the Scull breed that had been well fed for many years at a crib filled by the general public. The mare for many years was well groomed and had free access to the crib, to the exclusion of all.other horses ’mongst the hills 0’ Somerset. For a number of years the equine lady behaved herself fairly well and during all that time she had enough to eat and a great deal to spare. But there were other faithful old work horses that had worked far harder than this particular mare and had done much more effective work for the pub- lic good than the one that was growing fatter and fatter each year at the pub- lic crib; but they had to hustle for their provender and get it the best way they could. In the meantime the Scull mare was not only waxing fatter, but also began to develop a very insolent and lazy disposition. She would kick at those who for years had been feed- ing her, and frequently she would lay back her ears and bite them in the back. This state of affairs lasted until the Scull mare’s conduct became intolera- ble, and on several occasions the other horses turned in and gave her a com- plete wallopping. In fact they chased her away from the public crib and took possession of it themselves. They, however, were more kind to the old Scull mare than she deserved, and they made all sorts of reasonable overtures to her, telling her that there was enough in the public erib for all, and that if she would only do what was right, peace and harmony would pre- vail and all her past sins would be for- given. But the old Scull mare nour- ished her wrath to keep it warm, and she vowed that she would either have exclusive access to the crib or kick it to pieces and destroy the contents. Seeing that nothing else would do, the other horses ran her out of the pub- lic pasture and a considerable distance from the crib. Then seeing that noth- ing else could be done, and that the old “critter” was up against the real thing, the old Scull mare walked up and down the public highway, feeding on thistles and plotting revenge. How- ever, no one came to her assistance un- til one day two worthless asses came down the turnpike doing a good deal of braying and laying all sorts of jack- assical plans to get at the publié¢ crib themselves. One of these asses was a large grizzled old fellow named Aleck Sr., while the other was a degen- erated donkey bearing the name of Aleck Jr. They made all sorts of fool- ish assertions, and talked very glibly and lovingly with the old Seull mare. A wise mare, of course would have laughed to scorn the overtures made to her by the two asses, but the old Scull mare felt a good deal like thirty cents herself and was just as foolish as the two Aleck asses, and she readily agreed to form family relations with the asses, with the understanding that as soon as they could rear a family strong enough, they would marshal their forces, attack the faithful horses at the public crib, drive them away and ?take possession of it themselves. In due course of time a new offspring was born to the unnatural union, and that offspring was indeed a spectacle for gods and men. Its ears were as extensive as the gall of John R. Scott, while its brain was as small as that of Lou A. Smith. It was a horrible look- ing creature, and even the old Scull mare was ashamed of it. Now it happened that another ass named Lucifer had been admitted to the family before the new offspring had been born, but he generally had to stand back and simply obey orders. But the ass named Lucifer was present at the bornin’, and he was standing there watching the old Scull mare as she was sizing up her new-born off- spring. Well, there they all stood, looking at the mongrel creature that had just been born, and as the old mare watched the young thing floun- dering about trying to get on its feet, she expressed her disgust at the ap- pearance of the offspring. Then the little Lucifer ass pricked his long ears, saucily shook his little tail and said: “Well, you can’t hold me responsiple for the mongrel ‘erit- | ter’, for you know I am only a little, old, shriveled-up gelding. You must scold yourself and the two Aleck asses.” Hearing what the Lucifer ass had said, the two Aleck asses began to quarrel, and each tried to shirk all responsi- bility. The old grizzled fellow said: “I am tooold to father anything, and it’s real mean to attempt to hold me re- sponsible.” Then Aleck Jr. began to bray and declare that he was entirely innocent, whereupon the old Scull mare said: “Well, I don’t know which of you asses to blame the most for this disgusting freak, but it is evident that the mongrel and silly looking thing is .| the result of fusion and I am disgraced for life. We'll never get back to the public crib and we do not, ‘deserve to. Fusion has ereated that stupid, worth- less creature, and I should have known better than to have anything todo with any of you. Look at the weak,stagger- ing thing! It will never be able to walk, much less make: a run for the public crib, and we haven’t a drop of Barker’s liniment to apply to its un- steady legs.” So saying, the old Scull mare grabbed the Lucifer ass by the ear with her teeth and flung him high ircto a treetop, where he was held fast by an ear that caught fast in the fork of two limbs. And it was a case where the cat never came back. Then, after the old Scull mare had kicked all the wind out of Aleck Sr. she kicked Aleck Jr. through a rail fence, knocked down six rods of the same, pawed up the dust and ex- pired, leaving the mongrel offspring to die for want of succor. The thoroughbred horses viewed the scene from the other side of the fence, laughed a horse laugh and are still keeping it up. After Nov. 4th they will laugh all the more.

Speer’s Fort is especial- ly valuable in many cases of weakness, debility, ete. Tue Commercial says: ‘Clean poli- tics and decent political methods are bound to win.” “Betcher” life, old man, that’s why the whole Republican ticket is bound to be elected by sweeping ma- jorities. ‘ “Lucirer” SMITH said last week that bouquets are coming his way. Yes, we know they are, but most of them smell like Limberger cheese or decaying Sculls. That’s the way old “Lucifer” and his politics smell. On, yes, “Lucifer,” we’ll elect Co oper Don’t fret about that. We will also elect all the rest of the Republican ticket. “The Frosty Sons of Thunder” are built that way, but as to the old Scull mare—well, we’ll coop ’er for all time to come, and you’ll be shut up in the coop with her. You are fit only to dwell in a mare’s nest, anyway. Ix his speech at Clearfield the other night State Treasurer Harris said: “During the next 60 days every dollar of debt in the way of appropriations to schools, hospitals and every dollar of debt with the exception of the bonded debt will be paid by the State Treasur- er, and even after that is done Penn- sylvania will have more money in her treasury than any other state in the Union.” — ——— Lou SMITH says he has seen and talk- ed with many, and he declares that the bolters and soreheads are growing in numbers right along. You have seen, have you? What nonsense! What rot! What bosh! Why, you poor old jade, at best you never could see after four o'clock, and politically you have always been stone blind. Growing in num- bers? Yes, to be sure, but the num- bers are growing smaller, the same as you are doing with your cooing and boohooing. — sd Isn't it about time for J. Calyin Low- ry to write another letter to “Billy” Daugherty, telling what his influence and power did when he was yet an ob- scure law student, and threaten what he will do since he is a full-fledged law- yer, if “Billy” refuses to support him? Just ask Mr. Daugherty about the let- ter he once received from J. Calvin. It was the softest piece of brow-beating that ever came down the political pike and turned many people Calvin for all time to come. Tuar selfish interests are at the bot- tom of the opposition to the county ticket is proved by the fact that those who would see it defeated have turned front completely in their attitude to- ward Senator Quay and the state Re- publican organization. It’s the county printing some of the newspapers seek, and that’s the whole of it. It would seem strange if the voters of this coun- ty can be led from the paths of recti- tude by the mercenary motive of coun- ty organs.—Rockwood Gazette. a GENERAL KooNTz has never appeared to better advantange than in declining to stand as a candidate for State Sena- tor on a ticket that had for its single purpose the defeat of the regularly- nominated Republican ticket of our county. General Koontz having be- come convinced that the promoters of his candidacy wished to make use of him to encompass the defeat of the county ticket, with characteristic brav- ery and sturdy honesty. the General declined to stand against his friends, his party and his conscience. The bun- combe that comes from the opposition press this week to the effect that Gen- eral Koontz has been bulldozed off the ticket by the regular organization, and that he is either a knave or a fool, will be resented by all true Republicans of the: county as a cruel wrong and a wanton insult to a man whose intelli- gence, integrity and popularity have made him a commanding figure in State and National affairs.—Rockwood Gazette. ; THE GAZETTE, under its present man- agement will not get down to the acri- monious discussions that appear to be the stock in trade of many Somerset county politicians and newspapers, and all effort to drag the editor into the slime will fail. We are a Republican. We voted at the Republican primaries last June and thereby pledged support of the ticket nominated, and we shall abide by the consequences. Why should not all other Republicans do likewise? Is there a candidate on the ticket who is not worthy and well qualified to fill the position he seeks? Was not the June primary as honestly conducted as other primaries have been? Admitting corruption unknown to us in any previ- ous political experience, was not there as much corruption with the de- ‘feated faction as with the victorious? And have not these deplorable methods been fosced upon the dominant faction by that once-victorious organization. whose corruption has brought its re- ward? This is all to be deplored, and it will never be righted by “the pot calling the kettle black,” when both need scouring. Republicans should vote their ticket, and do the scouring at leisure. Surely, they can hope for nothing better in following a bolt into the ranks of the common enemy, and the Gazette does not believe any con- siderable number will do it.—Rock- wood Gazette. He Learned a Great Truth, It is said of John Wesley that he once said to Mistress Wesley: “Why do you tell that child the same thing over and over again?’ “John Wesley, because once telling is not enough.” It is for this same reason that you are told again and again that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy cures colds and grip; that it counteracts any tendency of these diseases to result in pneumonia, and that it is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by E. H. Miller. Isn’t He an Innocent Guy, Though? As a matter of fact, the editor of the Herald had nothing whatever to do with either Mr. Koontz’s proposed can- didacy or withdrawal. Personally it was a matter of supreme indifference to him whether Mr. Koontz went to the State Senate or to oblivion; but when it comes to making him responsi- ble for the wobbling political actions of Mr. Koontz the Herald begs leave to enter a disclaimer.—Somerset Herald. “Timmie” Scull is vePy innocent of fusion since his attempted deception of General Koontz came to grief. Since the General refused to serve as a dupe for Mr. Scull, the arch party traitor, “Timmie,” would now see him in ob- livion.' Like Uriah Heep, “Timmie” is now so “umble,” and back of his sneak- ing countenance his modest blush casts a reflection like one of these old-fash- ioned fat lamps that our grandmothers used to have. As some of Mr. Scull’s most faithful benchmen are following the Fusion Will o’ the Whisp, are we to believe that “Timmie” has lost his influence with them? “When the devil was sick, the devil a saint would be; But when the devil was well, the devil a saint was he.” against J.
