to the arrival of a handsome and plump
little daughter in each case.” Corbett

Savanna Jaurnal: Probably the
tallest woman in the country was seen
at the Milwaukee depot, Friday even-

to be on exhibition at the State fair.
Her height is 8 ft. 4in. She wears
number 22 shoes, and 24 yards of cloth
are required for a dress. She was
obliged to stoop in going into the hotel
where she took supper. A midget
whose height is 22 inches was also with
the troupe.
Prof. Tyler, of Amherst college, said
recently: “Aman can live comfortably
without brains; no man ever existed
without a digestive system. The dys-
peptic has neither faith, hope or char-
ity” Day by day people realize the
importance of caring for their diges-
tion ; realize the need of the use of a
little corrective after overeating. A
corrective like Kodol For Dyspepsia.
It digests what you eat. Sold by E. H.

Mr. Eli Johnston, who will be re-
membered by many of our older citi-
zens as having lived here during the
70's, died at his home in McKeesport,
Pa., last week, aged 70 years. Mr.
Johnston fell from a scaffold, several
years ago, sustaining severe injuries
from which he never fully recovered.
He is survived by his wife and several
sons and daughters, all residing in Mec-
Keesport. Grant, the oldest son, is, or
had been, a member of the McKeesport
City Council.
Many a young woman who deserves
a good man for a life companion, has
jumped in at a tender age and married
a Johnny, and gone through life em-
barrassed the rest of herdays. Johnny
is all right as an ice cream boy and as
a slot machine, with which to get chew-
ing gum and bon bons, but when it
comes to measuring up, in after years,
with the men who do things, and whose
wives make up the budget of satisfied
ones, he'is down and out before the
race starts. Girls, if you must marry,
and you must if you would be happy,
be sure and marry a man, or at least
what is going to be a man.—Ex.
STARVING TO DEATH.
Because her stomach was so weaken-
ed by useless drugging that she could
not eat, Mrs. Mary H. Walters, of St.
Clair St., Columbus, O., was literally
starving to death. She writes: “My
stomach was so weak from useless
drugs that T could not eat, and my
nerves so wrecked that I could not
sleep ; and not before I was given up to
die was I induced to try Electric Bit-
ters; with the wonderful result that
improvement began at once,and a com-
plete cure followed.” Best health

Hon. A. H. Coffroth Dead.
Alexander H. Coffroth, a leader in
the Democratic party in this county,
died at the Markleton sanitarium, Sun-
day, the 2nd inst. Mr. Coffroth was
born in Somerset in 1828. At the age
of 18 he became editor of the Visitor,
the Democratic organ in this county at
that time. He continued in this ca-
pacity for five years, when he engaged
in the practice of law. He became a
noted criminal lawyer.
Mr. Coffroth was elected to Congress
in 1862 and re-elected in 1864. He in-
sisted in Congress that all soldiers
should have the right to vote on the
battlefield. The soldier vote, irrespec-
tive of party, was almost unanimous
for Coffroth, and this secured his re-
election in 1878. The deceased was
the last surviving pall-bearer who of-
ficiated at the funeral of Abraham
Lincoln. His wife, who was Miss Nora
Kimmel, died some years ago. A.
Bruce Coffroth, of Pittsburg, is the
only surviving child.
Deceased was an exceedingly gener-
ous-hearted man, and no one appealing
to him for aid was ever turned away
empty-handed. He died of la grippe.
WHEN WE ARE IN A HURRY.
In these days of rush and hurry cour-
tesy is often forgotten. In the mad,
pell mell rush of our life little things
are done to offend that we rather re-
mained undone. A hastily eaten meal
and its resultant headache may cause
us social or financial loss. The wise
man or woman is the one who relieves
little ills of this sort by a little dose of
Kodol For Dyspepsia. It digests what
you eat and puts your stomach back
into shape. Sold by E. H. Miller. 10-1
He Was No Liar.
Magistrate (to new policeman): “Did
you notice no suspicious character
about the neighborhood?”
New Policeman: “Shure, yer honor,
I saw but one man, an’ I asked him
what he was doing there at that time
o’night. Sez he,‘I have no business
here just now, but I expect to open a
jewelry shtore in the vicinity later on.’
At that IT says: ‘I wish you success,
sor.” :
Magistrate (disgusted): “Yes and
he did open a jewelry store in the vi-
cinity later on, and stole seventeen
watches.”
New Policeman (after a pause):
“Begora, yer honor, the man may have
been a thafe, but he was no liar.”—Ex.
DON’T BE SORE.
When two strong men come to blows,
even if they are well matched, it is not
a pleasing sight, but if the man who

you get DeWitt’s. Good for everything
a salve is used for, including piles.
DeWitt’s is the original Witch Hazel
Salve and the best. You want DeWitt’s.

LEGAL HOLIDAYS.
Under the above heading the Con-
nellsville Courier made some very
sensible remarks in its issue of the 3d
inst. That we have too many holidays
in this couniry is a fact that no right
thinking person can successfully dis-
pute. Many of our legal holidays have
gotten to be occasions of great debauch-
ery and crime, and some of them, at
least, should be abolished. The Cou-
rier has the following to say on the
subject, and we agree with every word
of it: ’
“Labor Day is the only day set apart
by Federal statute as a legal holiday.
In this respect the day is honored
overmuch, since it is but little observ-
ed even by him whom it honors, the
workingman. By the workingman,
however, we mean every man who
works for a living, whether he works
with his head or his hands or both.
But Labor Day was undeniably made
a holiday in deference to the wishes, if
not the demands, of the labor unions.
The name is, therefore, a misnomer. It
should have been called Labor Union
Day.
Labor Day is usually observed by
the labor unions only in some of the
larger communities. All legal holidays
not generally obseryed should be abol-
ished. They are needless hindrances
to business. They close the banks and
thus embarrass other branches of trade
refusing to suspend operations and
constituting a large majority of the
commercial interests of the country.
Labor Day, Washington’s Birthday
and Lincoln’s Birthday should be
stricken from the calendar of legal
holidays, and Memorial Day should be
changed to Sunday. If the working-
men, the mercantile interests or oth-
ers, want additional holidays, they can
be depended upon to make them for
themselves, without the aid of cas-tiron
legislation on the subject.”

The Country Press.
The influence of the country fpress,
in its aggregate, is the greatest power
for good which the past has ever seen,
which the present has ever experienc-
ed, and the future has ever dared to
suggest. The country newspaper has
done more for progress, and has pushed
civilization farther to the front, than
have all other influences for good com-
bined, save that of religion. The life
of a country editor is as close to the
ideal of civilization has yet permitted
His average income is from $1,000 to
$1,500 a year. The maximum income
of a country editor and proprietor does
not exceed $6,000 to $7,000, except in
very exceptional cases, and compara-
tively few receive beyond the $5,000
mark, but quite a number get from
$2,000 to $3,000 annually, usually with
the assistance of the printing office con-
nected with the newspaper.
Some of our greatest editors and
most capable editorial writers are not
found in the larger cities, but confine
their labors to the smaller cities, where
they undoubtedly have more opportu-
nity and certainly live much happier
lives. Any bright boy with journalis-
tic ability, who starts right and works
faithfully, if he sticks to the country,
is pretty sure to arrive at the position
of country editor or proprietor, and
may hope some day to have an income
sufficient to support him in comfort,
with enough over to build up a com-
petency.—Newspaperdom.
OUTSIDE AND INSIDE.
A bath cleanses the skin and rids the
pores of refuse. A bath makes for bet-
ter fellowship and citizenship. Not
only should the outside of the body be
cleansed, but occasional use of a laxa-
tive or cathartic opens the bowels and
clears the system of effete matter.

TO REPUBLICANS:
We are anxious to have every Re-
publican in close touch, and work-
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
legislative record of the party, and,
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign,
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tions of One Dollar each from Repub-
licans. To each subscriber we will
send the Republican National Cam-
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve a great victory.
