The new court house when completed will be one of the finest in the state, excepting, of course, those in counties containing large cities. To go and view the work on the new struc- ture, which is now progressing rapidly, is to satisfy vourself that the contrac- tors know their business and will do a most thorough job. Aside from the new court house, a very fine opera house and several very substantial business blocks are also being erected in the county-seat. The new opera house will be one of the finest to be found in the state in towns under 15, 000 population. In every respect, ex- cept its unpaved streets, eur county- seat is a town that every resident of the county should be proud of. Last Sunday Barney Krausse took his son John to the Williamson School of Mechanical Trades, near Philadel- phia, to be examined for admittance to that excellent institution. His other son, George, entered that school more than a year ago, and we are pleased to say that he likes the place and is mak- ing excellent progress. Barney is tak- ing the right plan to make useful men and good citizens of his boys. His plan is far better than than to bring his boys up as hangers-on of a miners’ union. Lots of bright boys in this town are growing up to become idlers and crim- inals, simply because their fathers obey all the insane whims of a corrupt and worthless union. The boys are allowed to idle their time away at the very period ot life when they should be forming habits of thrift and industry. A boy who grows up in idleness usually without said folkses permission fer to print their name.” Teacher—“Right you air, Ulysses, you are a smart, purty boy and will sum day be able to keep school like me. Now, Ulysses, tell the school wot kin be done with editors wot don’t heed the notice of the notary public.” Ulysses—" Wal, teacher, I've heered smart people at Boynton say that edi- tors wot don’t keep folkses names out of their paper wen the notary public notifies ’em fer to do so kin be sent to the penitench fer 99 years an’ fed there on nothin’ but beeswax an’ buttermilk an’ durn little of that witch is too durned good fer em.” Teacher—“Right you air agin, my smart, purty boy. I know your pap never dug no scab coal, and if you'll agree to spit out of the nearest winder wile you're chewin’ tobacker in school, T’ll let you have a chaw of my plug wenever you air a mind to.” Ulysses—“Thanks, dear teacher, you’re the billiest feller I ever seed.” -—. NO POISON IN CHAMBERLAIN’S COUGH REMEDY. From Napier New Zealand Herald: Two years ago the Pharmacy Board of New South Wales, Australia, had an analysis made of all the cough medi- cines that were sold in that market. Out of the entire list they found only one that they declared was entirely free from all poisons. This exception was Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, made by the Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des Moines, Towa, U.S. A.

Plans are now under consideration by officials of the United States Steel Company for the removal to Mones- sen next summer of the scattered plants of the American Steel Hoop Company. This move was virtually decided upon over a year ago, but the depression in business caused an in- definite postponement of the scheme. Improvement of business and the necessity for further economies in operation have brought the plan up again. Concentration of the steel hoop plants at Monessen will enable the Carnegie Steel Company to sup- ply its entire trade in that specialty rom the Monongahela town. The plan is to dismantle the plants ormerly operated by Lindsay & Me- Cutcheon, the William Clark’s Son Company and the Painters. These mills are old and poorly located while the plant at Monessen is equip- ped with the most modern devices and in addition has sufficient ground immediately about it to enable it to enlarge ten times its present size if necessary. Concentration of the steel hoop industry there would mean the employment of 1,200 more work- men. fl WIDOWS WANT DAMAGES. Suits Entered by Eighteen Against Harwick Ming Owners.

This is encouraging wouews from a veteran campaigner who gatis a good guesser in political matters: waste. Cannon has been mcre intimately Of Gentified with the Congressional cam- aign than any other one man, and he as had exceptional advantages in tudying the political situation. He is Rusonservative in all things, and he is ot given to boasting. In The campaign of Judge Parker has sianecome farcial in the last week in of Ms denunciation of everything and 000 verybody who ia not promising to whiote for him. He has become more Cityibid in his hatred and more venomous ors his denunciation of business men from 8h Was Mr. Bryan in 1896 or 1900, and the e has demonstrated that his boasted wasonservatism of three months ago was Tlinly a pretense and a bid for the votes a Si conservative business men. He has witiried every dodge known to polities in has be way of issues, and has at last land- at (d just where Mr. Bryan landed in the Cityeginning of his campaign eight years 1go. The net result of this variagated Tweampaign of Judge Parker is the de- moralization of the Democratic leaders sn Congress. Representative John SoSharp Williams and Senator Bailey wrdave become disgusted and cancelled blatheir dates for future speeches.

Beachley were united in mar- riage at the bride’s home in Beatrice, Neb., Wednesday, Oct. 26th, 1904. The groom is a former Somerset county man, well and favorably known to many of our people. At present Mr. Berkley is engaged in the banking business at Burr Oak, Kan. The bride is the handsome and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gabriel L. Beachley; of Beatrice, Neb. The Beachleys hail from this county also and need no introduction to most of the people here, where their friends are legion.

Elk Liek Township Sehool. 1f you visit a certain Elk Lick town- ship school, it is altogether possible that you will hear conversation be- tween teacher and pupils about like the following: Teacher—“Kin any bf youse kids tell me wot a notary public is?” Billy Busybee—“A notary public, dear teacher, according to Webster's International Dictionary and other standard authority, is a public officer who attests or certifies deeds and other writings, or copies of them, usually un- der his official seal, to make them au- thentic. His duties chiefly relate to instruments used in commercial trans- actions.” Teacher—“Wrong! You thunderin’ blockhead don’t you know nothin’? Webster's Dictionary and Standard Authority, whoever he is, aint a run- nin’ this yer school. I'm a runnin’ it, and I want a kirect answer. Ill bet a gallon of wizky your dad digs scab coal. Kin anyone else tell me wot a notary public is?” Ulysses Unionsteal—"A notary public | is a feller wot must notify editors not fer to get too fresh an’ shoot oI their mouth too much with their pen by puttin’ folkses names in the paper nJudge Parker and his committee and make free trade speeches in one state and speeches against “imperialism” in another, while in other states they were expected to waste their breath in senseless denunciation of President roosevelt and the Republican party. After disgusting the people generally with such pop-gun campaigning, the Democratic leaders in Congress have become disgusted with themselves and gone on a strike. They admit that Speaker Cannon’s estimate of the cam- paign is substantially correct and that the Republican Party will remain in control of the Government, both legis- lative and executive, if there is any- thing like a tull vote on Nov. 8. "This is the one point to be wa.ched. The victory has been won in a fair fight, but it may yet be lost through overconfidence or negligence on elec- tion- day. Every Republican should not only go to the polls, but see that his Republican neighbor goes and votes, not alone for Roosevelt, but for the whole ticket. The way to hold the victory won is to vote as you have be- lieved and know to be right. Don’t leave your duty for others to perform. Go to the polls and vote. MOTHERS PRAISE IT. Mothers everywhere praise One Min- ute Cough Cure for the sufferings it has relieved and the lives of their little ones it has saved. A certain cure for coughs, croup and whooping cough. A. L. Spafford, Postmaster, of Chester, Mich., says: “Our little girl was un- conscious from strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. One Minute Cough Cure quickly re- lieved and cured her and I cannot praise it too highly.” One Minute Cougk Cure relieves coughs, makes breathing easy, cuts out phlegm, draws | out inflammation, and removes every | cause of a cough and strain on lungs. | Sold by E.
