Wilkinson, X9 S. Main SI., Shenandoah, DID YOU EVER I Think what it cost to manufacture Baking Powder t Did you ever think how baking pow der Is sold? Did you over think there must bo a largo profit in H somewhere? The manufac turer of n'certaln baking powder pay out nearly n million dollars or more a year advertising their powder, trying to mako people believe it is the best made. Their baking powder is sold at 60c per pound. The retailer makes his profit, the Jobber makes his profit, tho manufacturer makes his profit, and the consumer pays for all these and the newspaper advertising also. What does it cost to manufacture tho powder? Other manufacturers give away 25 or 30 cents worth of china, glassware, toys, hardware, books, etc., w(th every pound of baking pow der. Again tho query, what does It cost to manufacture tie powder can you think it out? You don't need to. Girvin, Duncan & Wold ley have a few words on the baking powder question. Until September 1 wo will sell Penn sylvania Ilaking Powder nt TEN CENTS per pound. It doesn't concern you whether wo make or lose on It we want to get it intro duced.

If it does not give satisfaction, bring It back and receive your money. Why do wo say th!s Wo expect it will pleuso you. Why should you pay 33or-i0o profit on every pound of powder you buy?

'PETER" PUSHES THE QUILL Tho Loading Topics of tho Day Presented and Oommontod Upon by a Fluent and Ablo Writer. INING districts, as a rule, says tho School Journal, take much groater interest" in education than tho farming districts of Pennsylvania, For merly tho miners scemod to caro loss than any other class for tho oducation of their children. The boys were put to work in tho mines almost assoonasthoy could walk. Now this can no longor bo done, under penalty of a heavy lino. Consequently the parents are willing to have thera attend school so long as they cannot become bread winners. This is not tho only reason, however, that is oporating to improve tho schools of tho mining districts. Tho parents, although for the most part uneducated foreigners, realizo tho benefit of a public Echool edu cation. Another reason is tho fact that the minors, who very seldom own real estate,, do not feel "the burden of local taxation, while tho farmers usually own their farms and therefore feel that lax and keep it down to the minimum. In the mining districts the percentage of attendance is high, and tho proportion of children be tween tho ages of six and' sixteen, who do not attend the public schools, is compare tively small. The farming districts pro sent no such gratifying statistics. V I must extend my hearty congratulations to the Republican loadere of town, Pre vious to the Minneapolis convention each bad his personal preference as to who should be the nominee for President, but now you cannot find a single politician of that iaith who is not an enthusiastic Harri son man. All differences ended with the adjournment of tho National Convention, ana tho battle cry now is all along the lino, "Ilarrison and Reid." . But I doubt if it will be possible to say thosamo in roforenco to the Democratic hosts. Still, should Clevoland socuro the nomination, there will be little eflort mado at reconcilliation, I imagine, for tho very good reason that tho Hill cohorts in this town are confined to the office ot your esteemed Sunday contemporary. V Almost daily ovidencos occur to warrant mo in making the statement that Shonan doah has the finest police forco of any town in tho county. Pottsville is noted for its largo amount of that commodity some peoplo term "gall," but which tho "blue-bloods" of tho county seat term justice. Shenandoah has witness many inslancos in which th.ey have dis played their abilities "in this respect upon our peoplo and it was only a .few days ago that our town was flooded with appeals for I aid to support a purely Pottsvillo organiza' tion. This is gall seasoned with a little ginger. I think the citizens of tho county seat should pattern after those of our own town and support their organizations, and not compof thorn to seek assistance from other places throughout the county. GirardvillrwIU presont a pleasant scene on the 25th Instant, the occasion when tho Glrard college boys will be the guests of Company F, 8th Regiment, of that town, The .cadets are said to be experts at drilling, and their appearanco In the coal region will certainly redown to the ploasuro of both the young soldiers and their largo circle or lrionds and admirers.

THE ELECTION VERY QUIET Tho Opponents of the Increase of Debt Aro Confident of a Defeat for tho New Water Works Scheme. i HE election being hold : t i. "4 IUU VHUUU3 wurus to-day on the increaso of debt for tho purpose of erecting tho pro poeod borough water works, is passing off very quietly. At this writingtho indications point unmistakably to the utter defeat of tho now water works boomers. One of their most enthusiastic followors romarkod at noon that the advocates of tho old water company would wind in tho Third ward with a good majority. This is tho ward where the ioint com mittee have exerted their groatoat effort, and in the Fifth ward, wliich the latter yesterday openly boasted that they ox pected to carry by at least 200 majority, now considor themselves fortunate if thoy are able to come out of the ward even. It is conceded by friends of the joint committee that tho second will voto two one against the now water works. Much unfriendly feeling was exhibited last evening between tho friends of the old company and the followers of tho joint committeo. In several instances tho argu mont resulted in fistic encounters between tho respective adherents. In one case an ardent advocate of the new water works deserted them and camo out boldly for th old company. He is also a member of the joint committee. Columbus Day Celebration. The proposal for a National Columbian Public School Celebration on October 12, 1892, is one of tho most sensible suggestions yet made about tho Columbian year.

Things Worth Itemcmberlug', When you foel a kind of gononoss about tho stomach it is a sign that your food doo3 not sit well and that you aro about to have a fit of indigestion. When you begin to foel nervous and are unablo to sit still comfortablv: whnn ,- clothes suddenly soom to lose their fit and oome too tight in places tho fit of indiges tion is surely upon you. When this fit of indieestlon from day to day it finally rosolvos itself into dyspepsia. Remember that throe to ton of Ilmnd. reth's Pills will euro tho worst case of in digestion or dyspopsia, or both, and that a regular courso of thorn, say two every night for a week or ten days, will act 83 a preventive of olthor complaint. Tho Coal Trade. The anthracite coal trado is unchanged in any material feature. The weekly output of coal continues at the rate of about eight hundred thousand tons, and the markets are absorbing all the newlv mined product, so that there is no surplus stock accumulating at tidewater shipping points worth mentioning. The Readinir company is short of coal at Port Rich mond, and thero is some delav thera In filling orders for eastern shipment. The oastern markets, however, aro not suffering for coal, tho dealers having sufficient stoc on hand to supply their immodiate re quirements. There is considerable coal going to the wostorn lake ports for distri bution. 'Iho southern trade is takinir an unusually large quantity of anthracite for this season of the year, Wholesale Prices.
