What will appear very interesting to many people here is the article taken from a New York daily paper, giving a simple prescription, which is said to be a positive remedy for baekache or kidney or bladder derangement, if taken before the stage of Bright's dis- ease: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce ; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three gunces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. A Well-known druggist here at home, when asked regarding this pre- scription, stated that the ingredients are all harmless, and can be obtained at a small cost from any good preserip- tion pharmacy,or the mixture would be put up if asked to doso. He further stated that while this prescription is often prescribed in rheumatic afflie- tions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and uri- nary troubles and backache, as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most impor- tant organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

MANY MEETINGS SCHEDULED Capital and Labor Concerned Over the Situation and Will Co-operate to Bring About the Efection of Taft and the Full Ticket of Hie Party. Locally, and in the State and Na- tien. {Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Oct. 6. " There have been very busy times about the Republican state headquar- ters during the last week. Colonel Wesley R. Andrews, chair- man of the state committee, has been almost overwhelmed with callers from the different counties, eager to con- tribute towards the success of the ticket. He has been in touch with tke county chairman, and his reports all indicate that there will be a very satisfactory outcome of the eampaign. He has arranged for a number of epeakers of national prominence to come into Pennsylvania during the closing days of the canvass, and there 1« no doubt that there will be an er- thusiastic wind-up of the campaign. Vice President Fairbanks, Leslie M. Shaw, former secretary of the treas- ury; Representative Nicholas Long- worth, the president’s son-in-law; Sen- ator Julius Caesar Burrows, of Michi- gan; John M. Thurston and other prominent speakers have accepted in- vitations to deliver political addresses in this state. A large number of Pennsylvania orators will also be on the stump from this week until election day. Mr. Shaw will deliver four speeches. With Lieutenant Governor Robert S. Murphy, he is scheduled to address a political rally at Johnstown tonight. His other engagements have not yet been arranged. Mr. Shaw is one of the most efftctive speakers in' the coun- try. For many years he has been In demand for service on the stump in every campaign. He will attack the fallacies of Bryanism and emphasize the dangers of the bank gusafhnty sys- tem which Mr. Bryan is advocating. Representative Longworth and Sen- ator Burrows are booked to address a meeting in Pittsburg this evening. Mr. Longworth’s speeches in this cam- paign have attracted much attention, and he has received (invitations to speak in every state. Senator Bur- rows is a veteran campaigner and elo- quent speaker. Vice President Fair- banks will make two speeches at points to be selected later. Republican Meetings Planned. Henry F. Walton, chief of the speak- ers’ bureau of the state committee, has announced these assignments of speakers: October 6 — Middlesburg, Snyder county, James M. Yeager, of Scran- ton; Clarence F.

In the mail of Cclonel Andrews a few days ago was a letter from an of- ficer of the National Roller Bearing company, of Philadelphia, who stated that a notice had been posted in the factory to the effect that the 10 per cent reduction which had been made in the wages of the employés of that corporation in the midst of the panic of last year, would be restofed to all employes in November if Taft shall be elected president. A The increase would amount to $60. 000 a year. In commenting upon this announce- ment the editor of the Philadelphia In- quirer said: “We have not the slightest doubt that should Mr. Bryan run across that | | ants, Constable Sale Blanks, Summons | | Execution for Debt, Notice of Claims for Collection, Commitments nas, Criminal Warrants, ete. tf | seeks. Subpoe- | notice he would tell his hearers that bribery had been Teésorted to: that here was an attempt to influence the workingmen.

Alas! How are the mighty fallen and the weapons of war per- ished! IT 1S TO LAUGH.” Taft to Farmers. Pennsylvania farmers will be inter- ested in the speeches being made by Judge Taft in the west, especially his references tc the beneficial results of the enforcement of the Republican policy of a protective tariff. At Dodge City a sign had been placed on a grain elevator which read: “Wheat, 1908, 92 cents, Republican rule; wheat, 55 cents, Democratic rule.” Taking notice of the sign, Mr. Taft said to his large audience: “I have statistics a little more cora- plete than that. The average price of corn in Kansas in '96, after feur years of Democratic rule, was 18 cents per bushel. Now it {8s more than 44 cents per bushel. This Republican price of 44 cents for corn in Kansas gave to the farmers of Kansas for their corn crop of 1907 more than $40,000,000 in excess of what they would have re- ceived if they had sold at the Demo- cratic price of 18 cents. “With respect to wheat, in which I think this community is rather more interested than corn, the average price of wheat in Kansas for the four Democratic years was 49 cents per bushel. At present it is over 92 cen.s per bushel, and if your present wheat crop had been sold at Democratic prices it would have left you $21,000, 000 less than you have today: “For oats the Democratic price was 16 cents; for barley, 22 cents, and for potatoes, 27 cents, and for hay, $2.70 a ton. The Republican prices gave to the farmers of Kansas for the crop of oats, barley, potatoes and hay in 1907 over $18,000,000 in excess of what they would have received if they had scli those crops at the Democratic prices which prevailed all over Kansas in 1896, after the Democrats had run the government for four years. Tariff Helped Farmer. “You have increased the value of your horses over what you hai in 1896 from about $16,000,000 to.$96,0600, 000. : “The same is true of other stock. “Of course the argument is that this was not due to Democratic rul: but as a matter of fact, in Harris administration you had no such price You had them in Cleveland’s admini: tration, after the Gorman-Wilson tarit bill, and just as soon as the Republi cans came in again and passed the Dingley bill. the prices began to rise .ou had a good market and you have Leen prosperous ever since. “1 ask in heaven’s name how sen=i- ble people can take the power out oc: the hands of the party that has made such prosperity possible and put it in the hands of a party whose record is what | have given.” Pennsylvania farmers are keenly in terested in this tariff agitation. The tobacco growers of Lancaster county ail appreciate the fact that witaou: the protection which two representa- tives in the United States senate give them in that body and a large majority of Republican representatives in the house command, they would be seri- ously handicapped. The fron, coal, manufacturing and other important interests of the Key- stone state would be similarly affected by any serious disturbance of presen’ tariff conditions. All admit that there must be tariff revision, but Pennsylvanians demana that this service shall be done by Re publican proteetionists—not Demo- cratic free traders. ———————————— Phonograph, Too, is Silent. None of the Bryan phonograph rec- ords has the speeches advocating free silver and immediate government own- ership of the railways, nor have they the ‘great commoner’s” attacks on Roger Sullivan, Colonels Watterson and Guffey.

Mr. Bryan was a member of the Demo- cratic house that insisted upon a tari? bill that brought disaster. Today he is 8 candidate for president and is stand- ing upon a platform which, if enacted into law, would again throw the eoun- try into a commercial panie and again close the mills and manufactories. “The company above mentioned merely speaks for every other manu- facturing concern in the country. It represents the existing sentiment among employers of labor. They have not forgotten. They fully understand what would be the result should Mr. Bryan be elected. They are waiting for the decision of the people. A Re- publican victory means the restoration of wages and the mills running at full time. A Democratic victory means uncertainty and depression. “It is for®the voters of the nation to determine what they will do. “It 1s for them te make the choice between certainty and uncertainty— between Taft and Bryan.” HASKELL IS NOT THE ONLY BURDEN Bryan Handicapped by Kerr's Corporation Connections.

[Special Correspondence.] New York, Oct. 6. Pennsylvanians, both Republicans and Democrats, will be interested in disclosures made by a correspondent of the New York Sun regarding the corporation connections of Bryan’s in timate friend, James Kerr, of Clear fleld, Pa, whom he catapaulted into the Democratic national committee ai Denver after the Haskell steam roller at Bryan's direction, bad crushed out Colonel James M. Guffey, who had not only subscribed many thousands of dollars to Bryan's campaign funds, but also furnished free of cost the stained glass windows which adorn the Bryan household at Lincoln. Haskell, owing to the exposure of his Standard Oil connections, has had to retire from the treasurership of the Democratic national committee. But Kerr still holds on. Kerr and Corporations. Here iz what a New York Sun cor- respondent has just written about Mr. Kerr: “To the accompaniment of the blare of trumpets and the waving of many flags, Colonel James M. Guffey, of Pennsylvania, was convicted at Den ver of the unpardonable sin of being a corporation man, and the spotless James Kerr was installed in his place 2s Democratic national committeeman from the Keystone state. Never mind the fact that Colonel Guffey was the selection by a large majority of the r-operly constituted delegation of Democrats of his state. The state is hopelessly for Taft anyway, and there- fore personal animosities must b: gratified while the ancient bluff o. ‘peepul’ is carried out. “The Peerless Leader therefore smiled expansively and the faithful cohorts chortled for joy when the wicked Mr. Guffey was exiled and that well-known corporation hater, ‘free from spot or blemish or any such thing,” was presented faultless before the representatives of the downtrodden masses! “But what is this we find?
