TKM'.I'HONK CONNKCTION.
Evening Herald
TU IIS DAY, I)i:CEMHEK 17, 1803.
Tun Itoptibllcnns of Shenandoah will likely
hsio Honielhing to my as to who shall bo on
the ticketus u representative of till, town,
notwithstanding tho presumption of n county
Nit paper.
IiBVi I'. Morton, tho present tiovernor of
Now York, Is an avowed candidate for tho
presidency. His friends nro already claim
ing 2.18 votes for their fuvorito in the con
vention. Pennsylvania is included in tho
list with (HI votes. Wo think the New York
tiovemor's friends arc counting their
chicken lwforo they are hatched.
A qUIXtion that appears pertinent just
now, in view of tho investigation to he in
augurated by Solicitor Whitehouse, of tho
almshouse, of tho mismanagement of that
institution, is why was it delayed until a few
days lioforo tho appointments are mado? The
public will encnurago any movement tending
to instigate reforms in that locality, hut it
looks like there's a "nigger in the wood pile."
The opinion of Attorney (icncr.il Mc
cormick, in declaring thatlifoinsuraneodoes
not represent moneyed capital and cannot bo
included in the list of taxable subjects, will
Iks phasing news to those of our readers who
have their lives insured and are not willing
to pay a state tax upon the same. When tho
Auditor General tent out assessors' blanks to
tho County Commissioners and directed that
retnrns be made of all policies of life
insurance, under a protest from holders of
these policies and tho insurance companies
the question was referred to tho Attorney
General for his decision.
Til r. suggestion has been made that Ponn-
cvK.onio n,1r.t ll.n nl.tft ,la i.i 1 in inn
f a United States Senator to succeed ,T.
Donald Cameron. When tho delegates to
the next state convention tiro chosen let the
names of tho various candidates for Senator
bo submitted to tho people and instructions
voted at tho primaries in every county in tho
-fltate, tho candidates subsequently placed in
regular nomination in tho convention and
tho ono receiving tho largest number of
votes declared tho caucus nominee. This is
the way ex-Governor Koraker, of Ohio, was
.chosen to succeed Senator llrice. Tho plan
is it novel ono, and it gives every Republican
voter tho opportunity to express his choieo
for this high ollico and besides is tho means
if averting contests of a disgraceful and nil
seemly character so often characteristic of
Legislatures in electing United States
rtators.
THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.
The Presidential possibilities are narrowing
down to a very few. Harrison is practically
out of tho race. Itecd is strong in New lln
land and will have a solid delegation from
that section. Tho prevalent impression that
(Juay and Piatt both favor the Portland giant
.gives him a big send oil' witli professional
politicians. Tho announced candidacy of
Governor Morton is looked upon as more of a
compliment to His Excellency than any
thing else, nnd will bo tho means of keeping
tho other candidates from dividing tho vole
of that state. When tho proper tlmo arrives
to uncovor New York's real choieo will bo
known, nnd his name is 1'eed. McKiuley
has a strong following with tho masses, and
his conspicuous position regarding Protection
makes him at all times a formidable candi
date. Allison stands in a position to profit by
any antagonism between Jteed and Mc
ICinloy that will constrain conservative
delegate) to took a perfectly available man as
tho compromise candidate. Lincoln is but
yet a name honored by tho immortal associa
tions clustering around tho martyred first
Priwidontof tho party.
Tho late elections give us a Republican
Governor in New Jersey, Marylaud and
Kentucky, bo wo will look to the names
of Griggs, Lowndes and Hradley as Vlco
Presidential possibilities.
An early convention places us already
within sound of the guns that will bo called
into action for uso against the common
onoray, and victory is in tho air.
Tjik Reading reorganization plan has been
iwucd, and as it is in tho ittorost of tho
general mortgago tho preference bonds and
stockholders aro heavily assessed. As tho
case stands at present, tho company having
failed to pay tho iutcrcst on the general
mortgago bonds that interest is in position
to sell out tho property to satisfy their claims,
and anything given the preference bond
holders and stockholders Is In tho nature of
a gratuity. While the plan is no doubt a
drastic ono for them, it is about nil they can
expect. Tho new plan will effect a reduction
in fixed chargos of about $717,000, although
tho oapltallsttloti will ho somowhat increased,
and tho incronso is not such as to compel
payment of niiything until it is earned. It
is to bo hoped that tho prtscnt scheme will
bo of permanent benefit and not like tho
Corbln schemoof 1887, merely a make-shift
temporarily.
NOVELTIES AT THE STORES.
Tho
Slock of Holiday Attractions Mom
Numerous Than Kvcr.
Grim poverty may lurk in its squalid dens,
and there may be hundreds of unfortunates
who go to bod cold nnd hungry every night,
but this skeleton does not obtrude itself on
tho happy, gorgeous panorama that Is pre
sented on tho ttrcota of town on which tho
business places aro located. Tho window
displays are unparalleled in their wealth and
variety. Every tasto and every purso is con
sulted. Some of them nro exceedingly novel.
Ono of tho most attractive sights is afforded
by tho windows of Max Schmidt, on North
juatn street, it is a roast lor tho eyes
and close by, in tho window of Waslcy's
drug store, Is found an amusing novelty
in the form of frogs mado of cotton
engaged in a gamo of foot hall beforo an
audience mado up of similar figures. Tho
exhibit at lioldcrman's jewelry store is a
gorgeous ono and at Hooks & Brown's
stationery store tho display in silk, satin,
velvet, celluloid, ivory, aluminum, Bilvcr
and gold is dazzling. Smokers and members
of their families will find tho display at
Kalbach's and Daniel & Dodson's cigar
stores worth a careful InsicctIou, and
nt Strousn's jewelry storo it would seem
tho wealth of tho country had been
collected. Girvin's is a groat placo for
sightseeing. Tho Christmas presents for
children nnd in the household lino chal
lenges enumeration. Morgan's liazar is also
a marvelous placo in the juvenile lino and
may well be called a "toy tcniplo " Tho
Pittsburg Novelty storo also offers a
field for rellectlon. M. F. Malcy and E. H.
Ilrumm make elaborate displays of unique
designs in jewelry. Iko Orkin and
K. Duell, tho jewelers, nro also out with
I holiday displays that help to mako tho
panorama pleasing to tho eye. Here and
there aro sandwiched displays of less glitter
ing, but no less important wearing apparel,
and when you are out seeing tho sights don't
fail to take a glimpsont the windows of L. J.
Wilkinson, P. J. Gaugban, P. J. Monaghan.
It. F. Gill, N. J. Owens and J. J. Prico.
The firms of J. P. Williams & Son and
O'Neill Uros. are also important exhibitors
and anyono contemplating making presents
of furniture, organs or pianos should not
overlook these two stores. For a snappy,
breezy and bright display of gents' furnish
ing goods for the holidays Max Lovit's
windows aro right up to the mark and Portz
& liros. display of clothing and furnishing
goods is excellent. At Mrs. Hyde's, Mrs. .1.
J. Kelly's, Miss Morrison's and Miss Senior's
millinery stores the ladies will find all the
latest and most novel styles and a glimpse at
the l aetory Shoo Store windows will show a
raro btock for feet for both ladies and
gentlemen. Of courso everybody will want
some cologne for the holiday season. Tho
Shenandoah Drug Store is making nspecialty
in that lino this season. The kirlin, Gruhlor,
Wasley and Hagcnbuch drug stores nro also
out with lino lines. A night can ho very
pleasantly and enjoyably spent in viewing
tho many displays and may help many to
make up their minds as to what they "will
buy for Christinas." Our shop windows beat
those of any town in tho county.

given him, when the election ollicers pasted
Deegan stickers over tho namo of Novils, nnd

A PREVALENT DISEASE.
NOT NECESSARILY DANGEROUS BUT MAY
BECOME SO.
American men antl women suffer from a
very general disease dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia has many symptoms, nun,
Palo people arc generally dyspeptic. Hollow
cheeks, bad breath, acid eructations, palpi
tation ot the heart, hot and cold Hushes,
headaches, nausea nnd vomiting, all these
arc symptoms of dyspepsia.
What does dyspepsia mean ? In two
wokis, imperfect digestion, now can wo
remedy it V Notalono by resort to drugs.
We must rest tho stomach.
For this purpose wo must put into it a food
which is already digested and which will aid
tho digestion of other foods. Wo must take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, for this is just
such a preparation. It contains food which
will ne nnsorueu at once, ltj also con
tains principles which will assist tho diges
tion of other foods, while last but not least,
it contains a combination of those drugs in
tiio cultivation of which tho Shakers have
been so successful, and which act by stimu
lating tho liver and bowels.
Imperfect digestion is often caused by over;
work of tho digest ivo apparatus, too much
food, food eaten too quickly, nervous worry,
etc.
Tho Shaker Digostivo Cordial is tho most
successful remedy for indigestion that has
over been mado. A single 10 cent bottlo
will afford relief in most eases, although this
small quantity cannot bo expected to eircot a
perfect cure.
If you find it suitable in your own case,
continue its uso. All druggists keep it and
can supply you with an interesting descrip
tive pamphlet.
