Now that severe winter weather is with
us, have a thought, and a practical one, for
the poor of Shenandoah. Warm clothing for
them is a charity a thousand fold greater
than any and all clothing sent out to tho
savages of equatorial Africa.
Tub newly-elected county officials assumed
tho duties of their respective olllccs to-day.
It is to ho hoped that they will serve the
pcoplo well, and not allow tho political
"sharks" to usurp tho control of their respec
tive positions as has been tho caso in one or
two instances in tho past.
Whims Ilcnjornin It. Severn, the Controller
of this county, has entered upon his term of

in him by tho Act of Assembly, the same

It was an unfortunate lire that destroyed
the rcccntly.'rebuilt breaker of Lentz. Lilly
t Co., at Park Place, on Saturday night.
Outside of the heavy loss sustained by the
operators, amounting to thousands of dollars,
tho conflagration throws out of employment
about six hundred men and hoys at iv most
unfortimato time of the year. To have their
breaker destroyed twico within two years is
anything hut encouraging to tho operators.
WllHN wo stated soveral weeks ago that a
reconciliation had been ofl'eeted between
.Senator Quay and Governor Hastings, hy
mutual friends of both, wo knew what we
wcro talking about, as subsequent events
prove. No one in tlio stato is closer to the
Governor than Tom Cooper, and in his
American ho says on this subject : "The
factional feud in tlio rankBof the Republican-,
of 1'onnsylvania is ool, and wisely over, so
far as Governor Hastings is concerned. We
Imvo reason to know that it was distasteful
from the beginning and that ho wiib persuaded
to lead the great battle which was lost last
sunimar by a sense of gratitude from certain
friends who should not have required such a
sacrifice, and hy somo personal nirrouts which
wero at onco unjust and foolish. All of that
is ovor now, and tlio Governor tokos his
natural place as adviser in tho conduct of the
uflalra of a great party, and as its peacemaker
where peace can bo made With honor. Ho is
better suited to this attitude, by qualities of
head and heart, than any other, and we aro
among those who rejoice that ho has taken
it." It Is also stated that ox-chairman 11. F.
(illkewu and Secretary of State Rcedcr havo
deserted tho combine and mado friends witli
tho Senator. Tho lattor having invited
those two gentlemen on a pleasure trip to ,
Florida adds color to the report. Rut the
Martln-Porter-Macco combine has been left !
out in tho cold. If we aro not badly nils

Tim Political lllralry of Alf mid Hob.
"A good story Is told concerning tlio fa
mous cniiipnlgii lietwcon Hob mid Alt Tay
lor for tho Ttimossuo governorship n few
years sluco," hnld Colonel William A, Hen
derson. "Hob foresaw that ho would Euro
ly defeat Alf In tho race, mid so, to add
zost to tlio debate, ho Invented a fahlo,
which ho told at Alt's expense. It was
this: On ono occasion a coon who was very
thirsty ennio to n well, from which tho wa
ter had tu ho drawn hy a bucket attached
to either end of a ropo on a windlass. Tho
coon fell on tho plan of getting into the
empty wet bucket, and by means of his
own weight descending to tho water bo
low.
"Onco down In tho well, It dawned on
Mr. Coon that tliero was no way by which
ho could again rniso himself out of thu
well. Wlillo pondering over tho problem
ho ospieil an opossum at tho mouth of tlio
well. 'Co i no down and get a drink,' said
Mr. Coon to Mr. Opiwsuiii 'Thanks! I
hclievo I will,' and tlio opossum entered
tho empty bucket at tlio top of tho well
As ho started down tho coon started up,
and as tho buckets passed midway of the
well tho coon remarked:
"The world goon round and round,
And Homo go up, and some go down.
"Hob won In tho rnco On election nigh,
ho telegraphed this couplet to Alf as a
greeting over tho result. Four years went
by, and Hoi) wound up his last term as
governor nnd retired from the arena of
public life. At tho snmo time Alf was tri
umphantly elected to congress from the
First ToniiOH'.oo district. On election night
ho telegraphed Hob:
"Tho world goes round nnd round.
And home go up, uud some go down."

In tho front part of tlio drug htore, and
after looking It over for a couplo of min

"Hay, what's tlio matter of your old ma

"Nothing. You must stand on thu plat

"Ob, that's it Waal, hero goes again."
Ho stopped on tho platform, put In an

Tlio Collation's Potency.
Soveral years ngo the president of tlio
Haltlmoro Sliakespearo club wrote a letter
to a frioml In Connecticut, an experienced
Sliakespearo scholar, who had organized
successful Shakespeare clubs, in which ho
described tlio methods of tho Hnltimore

btntcment thnt "tho meetings always
end with a collation." Tho Connecticut

HAVANA, Jan. 0. Havana has spoilt a
tiny of ncrvausnoss.aiid has been In hourly
apprehension of an attack by tho insur
gent army, or a part of It. Tho authorities
no longer make tho slightest concealment
of tho serious vlow they take of tho sltua
tiau, and tliero aro somo who do not hesi
tate to rail at tho Spanish generals ntidtho
troops.nnd mnko bitter criticisms of thorn.
There luw been great fear that tho light
and water supply of tho city would bo cut
off by it sudden raid of the Insurgent forces.
Tho idea of tho city being left In total
durknoss for tho unseen working of plots
and sedition Is Itself enough to work a
panic in tho uorvous condition of tho pub
lic mind.
Tho Spanish nuthorltlos havo main
tained a cordon of military forcos running
from Havana to the town of Batabano, on
tho south coast, sinco tho invasion o" Ma
timyin province by tho insurgents, l.jond
which they hoped to prevent the advance
of tho destroying ooluuina of their enemies.
This cordon has proved no moro effective
than did the lino of LaTrocho, which was
laid to keep tho insurgents out of Santa
Clara province.
Tills lino was broken on Saturday hy
tho forces under Gomez and the main
body of tho Insurgents havo passed Into
tho province of Plnar dol Hio, and aro now
overrunning that province with flro anil
tlio sword. Tho work of destruction In
Havana province has boon as complete ns
was that in JIatauzas, and tho sugar lands
of Plniir del Hlo oro fast bong put In the
samo dosolato condition.
Tho proclamation of General Campos to
tho effect that all horses In tho Island are
to bo hold subject to requisition by tbo
Spanish authorities has littlo effect, be
yond Its forco as a confession that tho
Spanish forces aro badly handicapped by
tho lack of mounted troops, and are prac
tically holpless against the cavalry forcos
of tho Insurgents.
In effect the wholo Islnnd of Cuba. out
side of tho city of Havana, Is now in tho
hands of tho iusurgeuts. Thoy havo not
annihilated tho Spanish forces, nor have
they routed tho wholo army In nny slnglo
pitched battlo. Yot tho situation Is com
pletely in their bauds, and so completelx
have they outgeneraled tho Spaniards that,
to all appearouces, Martinez Campos'
army might ns well bo in Spain for nny
check it puts upon tho movements to uud
fro of Maximo Gomez's unity.
Tho lntter's progress has boon accom
panied with contlnunl accessions to his
forcos by volunteers, and ho has captured
enough horsos, rifles and artillery to add
Immensely to the effective strength of his
men. Ho has practically carried his baso
of operations with him and has usually
countermarched over a wholly dlfforoi.u
routo from that of his advonco, apparently
counting with confidence upon living upon

"About flvo mouths ngo I had nu attack
of slekr.css which lasted for n week and
sinco that time I havo been subject nt in
tervals to similar attacks, somo of which
were longer in duration. It is hard for
mo to doscriho how I suffered. The pain
would coninicnco In my head, after which
It would seem to pass down my body and
settlo in my back, my sides ached, my
back ached, and I had a feeling of great
distress in tlio bowels. The increased
pain which seemed to como from lying
down, would bo almost unbearable, my
face and stomach would bloat up and 1
could hardly stand on my feet, dizziness
made it almost impossible; this feeling was,
always witli mo even after the violence of
the nttack passed over. Tho last attack 1
had was tho worst, and was so bad I would
not have been able to tell this story but
for Doau's Kidney Pills. As soon as I
commenced their uso I found immediate
relief. The pain in my back nnd sides left
me and the dizziness went with it; the
bloating in my face and body disappeared
and all distress in my bowels was gone.
I have great faith in Doau's Kidney Pills:
in a short time they did a great deal more
for mo than all tho plasters nnd medicines,
which I had resorted to in seeking relief
and cure. I hopo always to be able to pro
cure them."
