Two of the local fire companies are before

The decision of Attorney General McCor

issued against tlio County Auditors, leaves
tho question of constitutionality of the Con

decision of tho Supremo Court to set at rost
tho already long drawn-out legal battle over
.in office that tlio people of this county have
twice decided they want, and as many times
selected Mr. Severn to conduct its affairs
There may bo money in tho contest for the

to impose tho additional burden upon the

CHRISTMAS.
The season commemorative of the time
when tho arealcst event in tho history of
Christianity occurred, whieh will lie olwerved
by all ChristiiMi, ouch according to his own
ideas or teachings, is now" upon us, and it is
appropriate at this time to remember the
poor, whom the Miwtor said, so many years
ag, "you liavo always with you." His words
are as true to-duy as they wore 1000 years
ago on the plains of Judoft fur wo still havo
them aiming us. It behooves those of us
who havo been favored by a kind Providence
to assist those who, from various cause, have
not prospered and are in need.
This community lias among its numbers
some to whom the season is not one of glad
tidings, the same as all other communities,
and wlillo tlioy may not ho known to tlio
general public we ltavo no doubt many
renders of tlio Hhram know of such case.
To tlicm wo would nay, "Love tliy neighbor
as thyself ;" give lilm of your nlmmlnnco If
in want, and if his need bo greater tlian
your menu! warrant, tell It to your friends
and relievo his misery, so that uono may go
hungry or naked at this glad time.
It is in tlio power of ovoryono to do some
good, and wo would remind our readors that
Ho whose birth wo colcbmto to-morrow said
upon a memorable occasion, "I wnsa-hungorcd
and ye gavo me moat, I was thirsty nnd ye
gave mo drink,,! was naked and yo clothed
tuo inasmuch as yo have dono it to tlio lonst
of thcM) yo havo dono It unto mo."
Give, tlioroforo, out of your plonty, to
those not so favored, and you will bo surprised
how much It will add to your enjoyment of
tlio festlvo occasion nnd your good deed will
mako n bright day in some sulForing fellow
mortal's life.

OAUQIIT ON A TRESTLE.

Drop From tlio l'nnusylvnnlii
ltallroad Ilrldgo.
As a handcar bearing E. J. Ficmmihg, a
section foreman, and sovontl men employed
us rcpalrsmon by the Pennsylvania railroad
approached the trostlo that spans tho P. & H.
tracks and public highway at tlio south cud
of Main strect.at about5o'clocklastovcnlng,
a crowd of men in miner's clothos wore
walking ovor tlio trestlo in the direction of
tlio station. Scoing tho handcar approach
sovcrat of tho men returned to tho east end
of the trestlo, while others hurried across to
tho station, but two stepped to tho end of
tlio sills to allow tho ear to pass. They had
hold of each other's hands. Just as the car
passed tho two men went over tlio sido of the
trestle Fortunately tho trestle at the point
whore tho men fell is but 17 feet above a dirt
bank. When tho men struck tho bank one
hurriedly regained his feet and ran away.
Ho has not been seen since. Tlio other was
found unconscious and remained in that con
dition for about half on hour. Ho was Csiu
Junjack, 21 yoara of age and a resident of
Poar alley. Ho was temporarily treated by
Dr. I). J. Langtou and then scut to tho
Minors' hospital. His injuries are of an in
ternal charactorsupposcd to have been caused
by his companion falling upon him. No ono
seems to know just how the men loft tho
trestle. Flemming says It cannot be deter
mined whether tho handcar struck them, or
tlioy became excited and jumped ovor the
side Ho says that when it was seen that the
two men proposed to stand at tho side of tho
trostlo it was too lato to stop tho car without
danger of throwing it over tho sido witli tho
men riding on it, and that tho result is the
best that could bo expected of a bad situation.

CURIOUS ST0IUES THEIR FACES
SOMETIMES TELL.
The Sine or Ignorance of the Parents
and How It Affects the Little Ones.
Every mother's baby
is tho handsomest nnd
most loveablo in tho
whole world to hor.
And yet thousands of
just such proud and
loving mothers kill
their children every
year.
Not Intentionally,
you understand, but none the less certainly.
Through carelessness? Possibly.
Through ignorance ? Certainly. '
Calling a spade n spado is sometimes the
only way to convoy an Idea intelligibly.
Let us do a little plain talking.
From tho moment of conception, tlui llttlo
vital spark It dependent on the blood and
tissues of the mother for nourishment nnd
growth.
From tlio time it la bom until It is woancd

nourishment and growth.

If tho mother's blood and tissues aro clean,
pure, and freo from poisons tho child before
birth and after birth will be strong and
healthy.
Puro blood and rich blood aro synonymous.
No person's blood wm bo pure unless the?
kidneys are working naturally and health
fully. Tho solo duty of tlio kidneys is to purify
the blood, ,
Healthy Kidneys Puro Blood.
Pure Blood lifeh, Puro Milk.
ltich, Purr Milk Strong, Hcalty Baby.
This is not a hard argument to follow.
Because it is the truth.
Do you sco ita application? You mothers
with poor, frail, puny, half-nourished, and
more than half-poisoned babies?
Do you wonder that their tender brain aud
blood cannot resist poisons and impurities
that mako oven you sick, dizzy, torpid, and
weak ?
You owo it to your child, your Maker, and
you i self to keep your kidneys active and
your blood pure
Asparagus is tho natural medicine for tha
kidneys.

strengthen, to purify will bo found in Dr.
Hobb's Sparagus Kidney Pills.
